The next mainstream monster genus

[Irenaeus]

So elves.

No you idiot, Halflings.

For your character at least

There are too few fantasy settings bold enough to use abhumans as monsters, when they'd fit really well in the role.

Which is why white people (halflings) would fit very well. Anudda option would be gnomes (****)

Know what's a better idea? Don't choose! (1) Create a NEW unique monster type.

Yes, so propose some of these great ideas you have.

Okay. For starters, make all the beastmen species Skeleton Warrior Species, or nothing.

So, you want Zebra People in your game? You want Wolf People in your game? Horse People? Cat People? In you cozy comfy game?

Zebra ******* Metal Skeleton Warriors, or nothing.



Figure. The result of prompting Zebra Skeleton Warrior Game Art.

How do they reproduce? How do you get more? Easy. Bones of the dead get mixed up. If it happens on cursed ground, eh, you get these guys popping up.

Why better than gnolls? Not gay.

Why better than zombies? Much more variety.

Benefits.

1. Would look cool in Unreal.
2. Mix up the bones during the game to get endless new types, so help make things emergent.
3. No need to invent unbelievably gay tribe societies with lame furry backstories.

Costs.

1. You can't **** 'em. They're skeletons. Hey, wait. That's a positive. Not a negative.
Edit. 2. You need a lot more polygons.

Skeletons aren't new. Stop worrying about how gay they will be and focus on game mechanics.

I feel like Hobbits - the REAL ones from Tolkien's work - are more like British people, specifically.

While elves are obviously the native Germanic peoples while dwarves are more Irish or Scottish.

Hobbits as the bad guys has been done, dark sun did it.

British are the only "white people". Every other people in Europe has long realized that skin color does not a nation make. Or did the Führer see some great kinship between the Goymans and the Frenchers for example?

Dorfs btw were very explicitly inspired by ****. I don't really know where the trope of the scotsdorf comes from, since it's neither from Talkeen nor Warhammer.

Doubt anything really. They just love to recycle **** or use robots they are perfect if you dont want to make any group mad and you dont have to censor blood for certain countries.
