I'm trying to build the golden city of Babylon (the biblical one, not the historical one), and need a great, seven headed beast with ten horns upon its heads. I don't know quite how the body stuff works out, so I'd like to recruit some help in designing it.

Spoiler: A possible picture of it. (click to show/hide)

I'd really appreciate it if I could get some raws for it!

Why don't you just modify the Hydra raw?

You know... That's a good idea! Thanks for the advice.

[rephikul]

I kind of like the 7-human-heads-smiling-in-a-cloud hydra.

[vipre01]

Yeah, but don't forget their ability to launch fireballs from their foreheads.

[Untelligent]

7 heads with 10 horns (or crowns or whatever) always struck me as a little weird, but Revelations in general seems to have the air of being written by someone who was under the influence of something not-particularily-legal at the time.

That's actually what I like about bible imagery, nearly everything in it is a Cthulhu-esque unimaginable horror, even the angels.

For Example: Cherubs. They do not look like babies with feathered wings. They're four-headed... thingies...

[vipre01]

I think my favorite passage in the whole Bible is this part:

2 Kings 2:23-25: From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. 25 And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria

As then portrayed on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pehhlAU00gQ

btw, make sure you make the horns attack instruments through 'goring' attacks.

This means Bethel must have been a pretty big city if more than 42 boys was considered 'some.'

[Mike Mayday]

Considering the bears mauled 42 OF the boys, I'd wager there were at least 43 of them! This is important business! What happened to the ones that DIDN'T get mauled?

Answer: they started islam

[FrisianDude]

Bloody long-lived boys then.
