Its not the first time I have been called Meth.

Meph relives his days as a methhead junkie roaming the streets in search of another fix.
hehe

[Meph]

Yes, the nonsmoking, nondrinking, welltrained methjunkie. Sounds about right.

Well all my friends think I'm a raging alcoholic. Haha I'm not, but they really think I am
Maybe you live a double life?

[Meph]

I already do live a double life. Nerd-Adventurer. If I tell my (nerd-)friends at home about mountaineering, sharks and crocodiles, military dictatorships and cycling in the desert, they look at me like I am some kind of alien. Same thing happens when I try to explain DwarfFortress/Starcraft or why I read Fantasy/SciFi to backpackers and beach/partygoers in a Hostel. Again, no comprehension what so ever.

Hahaha well my hobbies are mostly computer related (most of ym friends are nerds like that too hehe), the only sport I do is swimming, and I don't know too many people who share that interest

All necromancers/warlocks should have the following battleshout:  "Klaatu Barada Nikto!"

  In my opinion, anyway.

Bumping this thread as crowdsourcing is cool.

Besides i had a mood today and started working on a tiny modding project of my own. More might follow.

Well here is a tiny 16x sprite teaser in all its shitty glory

[FengYun]

Looks nice. It isn't a gobbler, is it?

[Meph]

Its the rare depraved devil turkey. (because of the red eyes)

Nope, not a turkey but I guess the sprite kinda looks like one now that you mention it and as hard as I try I can't seem to unsee it so that fact goes into the description. Anyway I am progressing slowly towards having a finished creature but need to finish some details and do some balancing. Also did some more work on the sprites but there is only so much I can do as this is my first try at making them. This is also my first serious try at modding this game so have a few issues to work out. Mainly interactions and syndromes.

Anyway, here's the preliminary description:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A large cave dwelling mammal that most closely resembles a wing and featherless turkey with a long snout and a very long thin tongue. When threatened or annoyed it spits a irritating fluid at its targets eyes that cause temporary blindness and pain until it has been washed off. It has a large flap of skin hanging from the lower neck that regrows if removed. It is fairly intelligent and can be trained for war.

Feel free to guess what inspired this monstrosity.

[Godlysockpuppet]

I would make it trainable for hunting at best, not war... I can't imagine a giant turkey killing my dwarves as they run about blinded

[Varyag]

Isn't that part of the fun?

I actually intended it as a defensive mechanism, blinds things that try to hunt it which makes the hunter a terrible marksman. Might also prevent an ambush of goblins on 10 drowspiders from turning everything into a 2 month clusterfuck of a battle by blinding them before they can start webbing everything.

In general it isn't meant to be able to hold its own very good in a fight but rather work as a specialized support for your charging militia while also being useful for your leather industry.

Up to you

[Redzephyr01]

I've been looking through some of the creature descriptions, and I noticed that the Metal Colossus, for a megabeast, has a pretty short description, so I came up with a new one. Replace [material] with whatever the colossus is made of.
"An enormous animated statue made of [material]. It is powered by its hatred of all living things."

[Putnam]

Associations are generated on a per-creature basis based on sphere, so that description could cause some awkardness.
