I think there should be an option to have creatures spawn with specified equipment, such as being able to have minotaurs always spawn with a masterwork silver hammer. I also think there should be a tag to have a specified creature spawn instead of a corpse when the creature dies. Living creature blood (ex:bleeding live badgers) would be Fun.

more modable stuff is always good i guess. not really a priority thought.

Agreed. Ideally with options for percentage chances and/or picking the material from a local material with certain properties--say, a wood growing in the area.

Already there.

Unless it's blood men or something, kinda nonsensical...

You guys are posting in a knutor thread.

What? No.

Huh?

Misread, thought he said "item."

There's a precedent in mythology. Several creatures, such as Gorgons, were reported to bleed live poisonous snakes.

[GreatWyrmGold]

How does that even work? Are gorgons' blood vessels huge or are the snakes really tiny? Do the snakes have scales made of hemoglobin? Have you figured out that I overthink this kind of stuff?

[darknessofthenight]

I think that the blood transformed into snakes on contact with air. The question is, how does it split into little snakes?

[Revanchist]

Maybe the biggedr snakes had the same kind of unexplainium in their blood that creates snakes, and they just had less, creating their own smaller and smaller snakes... It might make some sense in mythological context: cursed monsters spawn cursed monsters.

I think that the blood transformed into snakes on contact with air.

Wow, that would suck. The snakes would probably need to be pretty small, though, or else the blood vessels would burst near the cut and let more blood come in contact with air, and so on. Gorgons aren't so scary if a little cut makes them explode into snakes.

Actually, that would be terrifying.

or maybe the gorgons are just full of snakes

[CrzyMonkeyNinja]

Ooh, that would be cool. If we had snake-blood, a stone-stare and a pegasus coming out of the corpse, we could have a gorgon true to the origional myth. Well, we would need the decapitated head to turn things to stone as well, but I think there might be workarounds for that already.

Going back to the origional point, I would really like my balrogs to spawn with whips soon. (Maybe this can already be done, and I just don't know.)

Also, about the snakes in blood vessles, don't ask logical questions about mythology  . Trust me, I've tried. It doesn't work. Here's one: how can a nymph cry so much that she turns into a puddle of her own tears? Or how can the Stymphalian Birds fly with bronze feathers, and why can they shoot them at high enough speeds to kill people? And will someone please tell me where Zeus got his handy-dandy floating uterus? He bears Atheana in his head, and Dionysus in his leg. IT MAKES NO SENSE!!

Not for long. Especially compared to them turning people to stone with a glance.

How? Again, there's not enough room.

I'm fine with myths having some unrealistic elements, but once they exist I want either them to react realistically or to have a good reason why they don't.
