How about a sheep that conceals a trans-dimensional plane-shifting werewolf? Oh, and that's waterproof...

Re: R0 - Listener/Forums Mega-Beast Suggestions
I'm down with sleepiness powers - that's a unique one. The double whammy of then entering the dreams of the stricken slumberer could be neat, if impractical on the battlefield. A wolf is nice too - makes for not one, but two creatures yet to be featured in the MBDM. What if he's a sheep here, and a wolf as a projection?

DROP-BEAR
The scourge of outback Australia, the Drop-Bear hides in plain sight, although admittedly up a tree, where common sense dictates kodak-sized bears have no right in being. The Drop-Bear's behind is toughened skin, hardened over decades of drops onto its prey until being impervious to any known substance, crushing it with its great bulk. When no trees are present a Drop-Bear will demonstrate its climbing ability, clambering up and atop it's prey and launching itself into the air before coming crashing down on anything beneath.
If that weren't enough, it's a goddamn giant bear, what more do you want?

Polemistis Agkelos - The Warrior Angel
ArchAngel
This ain't your grandma's baby-faced Precious Moments cherubs, beeotches!
Like a man dressed in linen with a gold belt and a body of olive gemstone stands the Archangel. His limbs hardened like burnished bronze and his voice like a shouting multitude, he raises his Sword of Flames over his head, roaring for vengeance and bringing a righteous kicking of ass to his unholy competition. Before dawn the smoking battlefield lays littered with the scorched and fetid remains of the enemies of God.
Powers:
flight
hardened skin
intelligence
berserker-like Righteous Rage
Sword of Flames
Weaknesses:
Tough but not invulnerable
Brief and unexpected outbursts of compassion
The unholy tremble in fear...
~Boot
P.S. Is this dude imaginary or not? I have biblical proof of his existence if that counts for anything...
2 Kings 19:35, Daniel 10:5-6
Ooops, almost forgot the Flaming Sword: Genesis 3:24

That was a typographical error--it should have been a blank space.
Re: R0 - Listener/Forums Mega-Beast Suggestions
Flaming swords always seemed really impractical for me. I mean, surely it would go out each time it was sheathed?

Re: R0 - Listener/Forums Mega-Beast Suggestions
The biblical theme is cool, flaming swords always have an appeal (to me), but Archangel needs to be revised in some way so as to be primarily an animal - wings are wings but an angel pushes a little too far in to humanoid to really be a Mega-BEAST.

Hm. Yea, you're probably right. Not human of course but humanoid is true enough. Back to the drawing board...StalinSays wrote:...an angel pushes a little too far in to humanoid to really be a Mega-BEAST.
Wait, what about The Leviathan?

Re: R0 - Listener/Forums Mega-Beast Suggestions
BIRMINGHAM METH WORM
Chemical warfare will rise again.
A distant cousin to the Mongolian Death Worm, this terrible beast hangs out all day in trailer parks and seedy hotel rooms, mixing up lethal combinations of noxious fumes en route to its favorite vice. Answers to "Tommy". Disowned by his family. Three outstanding warrants.
Powers: The Meth Worm is completely saturated with meth to the point that his body now exudes a constant barrrage of airborne death. So terrible are these nigh-indectible vapors that mere inhalation can cause melted lungs and the on-location filming of a government PSA. But the bad news doesn't stop there: the Meth Worm is fast-moving, deadly with ihis lamprey-like teeth and his second-favorite weapon (a broken beer bottle), and addiction has made him totally impervious to pain. In addition to the ability to make his opponents have the worst possible bad trips with his ready supply of thrown, liquid-form drugs, he can sing drunken revisions of Lynrd Skynrd at 110 decibels.
Weaknesses: Tommy doesn't really operate in reality as we know it. Rather, he lives in a funhouse version of the world, which alternates between delightful, realistic, melancholy, and horrific. In addition to this, his weapons are anything but reliable. For example, his teeth sometimes fall out. And did I mention he's behind on child support?

1. can not keep job
2. resourceful (when out or meth it finds a way to get more.)
3. Bouts of lethargy when trying to get clean

Re: R0 - Listener/Forums Mega-Beast Suggestions
Can you wrap your mind around... FLATYPUS
Sure, he looks cuddly and innocent, with his duck-billed face and his beaver tail, but in addition to hidden poison spines, the Flatypus conceals an even subtler threat: mastery over the dimensions. Able to fold and bend them at will, Flatypus need fear no attack, for all he has to do is turn sideways and it passes right by his two-dimensional form. The dangers of a literally infinitely sharp edge are no laughing matter, either. At long last, platypi escape from the shadow of what they are not and claim their birthright for what they are: effing DANGEROUS.

Octonaut
This fiendish cephalopod was so desperate to fight that it took to the skies. Octonaut is a giant octopus who has inflated itself with helium to become a stealth aerial predator. Able to camouflage itself using chromatophores (for instance as a raincloud) it can unleash missile attack on its unwary opponents (Ocotnaut has excellent eyesight but optics requires that it wears corrective googles), before diving in for the kill. To maneuver Octonaut will release gas through its siphons (with an inevitable loss of buoyancy - he must reinflate between bouts or fight on the ground), allowing it to envelop its opponents with its massive tentacles and going to work with its beak.
