Hi! I'm new here and was curious about something. Whats your favorite monster that you would consider underrated? For me it would be the chain devil.

Theres just something about a human like devil wearing plate mail or studd leather as chains travel around his body that seems so classy. I still need to send a chain devil assasin after my players someday, or maby someday play one myself if I ever can.

I also someday want to have my players fight a boss who was the original chain devil. A very powerful version of the normal kind who can control a unlimited amount of chains and lives in a hallway covered in them. So anyways let us forget mind flayers, drow, beholders and dragons and think about the krytons, delvers, girallon and locathah!

I personally love air elementals, definitely the best outsider, and maybe the most awesome of all D&D monsters.

The name "Black Pudding", though, is not joked enough about by the nerd section of the internet.

This sounds like another one of those conversation starter bots.

1 post in no days and it's not in the introduction sub-forum or any of the rp sub-forums? It wouldn't be surprising.

@JaceBeleren, @gcold, yet they are astoundingly more polite and purposeful than the typical spam bots that assault the forums almost nightly in their attempts to encourage us to buy furniture, gamble or some combination of both, while shoutig at us in Hangul.

That said, I suppose to return to the topic, animals as a whole and magical beasts in Dungeons and Dragons are very underrated. Usually they are played as mindless drones by Dungeon Masters, just fodder for the players to slaughter in their quest for experience points. They seldom make up anything of importance or memorability, but I find that playing the beasts true to their actual nature tends to challenge the party pretty significantly. Scaling ultimately gets the better of them, but I have lost more players to predatory creatures of this sort than anything else.

Mind you I tend to play exceptionally low magic settings, so beasts tend to be more reasonably dangerous.

It's a hard choice for me. I'd say Tarrasque, Displacer Beast, and Rust Monster would be good ones for me.

Similar to @The Harbinger of Ferocity I would have to say that some of the more simple creatures with maybe one single special ability are definitely a great way to spice up an RP. I am pretty fond of Blink Dogs, Corallax, and Grimalkins from D&D. I do not like campaigns that are super heavy in combat. My RPs tend to have a lot of fluff and politics and character interaction. Nothing freaks my players out more than having some random animal keep reappearing throughout the RP for no obvious reason.
