Possible Illarion Creatures

First of all, I'm not sure if this should be posted on this forum. Secondly, some of these may be redundant, as I wrote it a long time ago. Finally, I am pathetic at creating graphics, so don't be expecting any to accompany this posting.

Goblins-live peacefully in Troll'sBane, however they will attack if provoked. Such provocations are casting upon, attacking etc.

Rats-live in underground areas and behave similarily to swarm-flies. Perhaps a flea graphic could be created to indicate when they are around.

Argeshhon-odd multiarmed, humanesque beings, which live deep in the forest, and are GM controlled or player controlled. Similar to Fluffy or Ashkatuul, they could be used for initiating stories, etc.

Dogs and War Dogs-dogs follow their master around (or maybe are dragged via leash medium). They can attack enemies uncommanded or behave peacefully, depending on their players RP intent. In battle or servitude they gain skill (which could be a skill under "Other Skills"). When a masterhood is achieved with the dog, they become either lap dogs, peaceful, good willed animals, or War-Dogs, violent armoured beasts. This could also open up a new profession. That being fashioning either garments or armour for the beasts.

Note:Perhaps other animals could be trainded in a similar vein-just imagine war pigs or lap sheep!

If your character is a mage or one of the magickally people, then perhaps your character could have a familiar, black cat, or something along those lines.

Finally, I know that there is no way these ideas could be implemented at present, and that is why they are intended for a long way into the future of this game.

Any Comments or remarks are welcome.

Yours,

Brendan Mason,
fisherman.

I like these ideas

I particularly like:

Argeshhon-odd multiarmed, humanesque beings, which live deep in the forest, and are GM controlled or player controlled. Similar to Fluffy or Ashkatuul, they could be used for initiating stories, etc.

But most of all; I would love to have a loyal dog by my side!

You could always get married Hermi

ouch drathe, im not a woman but still, yeah these are good ideas, armor for dogs? well you would have to make it leather armor cause i dont think a dog would be very good cluncking around in plate.

Hermie · Post by **Hermie** » Mon Feb 24, 2003 9:52 pm

But Drathe, the difference between being married and having a pet dog is that you wouldnt make love to the dog, though you would show it affection in a caring way.

I know I shouldnt say this but I cant resist, That Hermie is a matter of opinion ...tho ill say no more haha

They already have a monster list they are working on... go through the links and find it from teh Homepage

Please, don't put in rats. So many games have rats... It just makes Illarion stand out a bit less. I like the swamp fly as our low-level creature much more.

Serpardum · Post by **Serpardum** » Tue Feb 25, 2003 8:58 am

I agree with Astral. Every single RPG game I've played has rats. I'm tired of rats!

I've killed so many digital rats in my time I"m starting to grow virtual whiskers!

Gro'bul · Post by **Gro'bul** » Tue Feb 25, 2003 8:13 pm

*laughs* yes they are stinky little buggers and they carry diseases, we need GIANT MUTATED RATS WITH HUGE FANGS, hehe just kidding maybe frogs hehe TONGUE ATTACK.

Hades · Post by **Hades** » Mon Apr 28, 2003 12:00 am

Hi

What about poisonous frogs or snakes??

If one bites you you have to get an antidote or you will slowly die?? Maybe the poison could also disapear after a while??

Maybe a Huge poisonous snake or frog could have the strength of ten demons?? That would be a challenge I know too many people who are not even challenged by demons anymore!!

Deats

Gro'bul · Post by **Gro'bul** » Mon Apr 28, 2003 12:06 am

hehe, well, i think poison will probobly be put in at some time (scary enough) and antidote will probobly be made by a druid. scorpians are piosonos too

Hi

Sorry I never feel a scorpians poison

Now are those wiskers the annoying buggy kind or the fun to play with kind? hehe....

Hmmmm although aren't flies kind of....well silly? When was the last time a person got killed by a flock of flies in the past 200 years? heh... Getting killed by a rat is more resonable. Although yes killing rats is very traditional. How about...ummm goblins or something? Kind of like orcs...but weaker.

Those are Illarion blood- sucking giant flies. And as such they can very well kill someone.

I like the flies. I think they are very imaginative. Just tossing my 2 bits in.

And I really like the big list of fantasy creatures. Remember - we can have any of these creatures in our rp!
I particularly like the merefolk since we are on an island.

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Tue Apr 29, 2003 10:54 pm

A giant snake as an RP character would blow my mind.
I would run through the streets in my underwear, screaming "Eureka!"
...Or perhaps not. But a giant GM-controlled Giant Snake thing would be very awesome.

Elaralith · Post by **Elaralith** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 2:20 am

Aren't goblins planned as a playable race for the future? ....

Niniane · Post by **Niniane** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 8:19 am

According to all of the game documentation, yes. Yes they are, Elaralith.

Bloodhearte · Post by **Bloodhearte** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 3:50 pm

How about Hydra?

Hydra are fun to play against! Their many heads, their huge bodies...

Rynt · Post by **Rynt** » Wed May 07, 2003 7:41 pm

Their incredible killing power...the fact the game is in Beta.......They may be in the finished game, but probably not now.I hope they are in the finished one soon. Hydra are just about my favourite monsters.

btw. the game is in alpha

martin · Post by **martin** » Wed May 07, 2003 8:04 pm

This game will hopefully never be finished.

Hermie · Post by **Hermie** » Wed May 07, 2003 8:17 pm

Yup, there will always be some way to better it.

You could always get married Hermi

Well now I am, in game, of course

I think we need a new map before new monsters, which will be worked on after the map editor is made. Say martin, how is the Map editor coming along?

Rynt · Post by **Rynt** » Wed May 07, 2003 8:17 pm

In other words he means he wants to add morethings all the time. Or that he doesn't care if the game gets finished or not.

Caranthir the great · Post by **Caranthir the great** » Wed May 07, 2003 8:31 pm

Or then he just wonders why you are posting on the proposal board, even thought you have not been accepted into the game yet.

Bloodhearte · Post by **Bloodhearte** » Wed May 07, 2003 9:16 pm

Yes, hopefully it won't be finished...

It's funny how the producers of Runescape claim that they are finished with their java programming and update every so often. Finished my arse, not even a hint of roleplaying except for NPC quests, which are rather boring...because you have to fight in...every one.

ANYWAY...

If not Hydra, maybe something a bit less...frightening and huge, like a few goblins. Those buggers would be fun to hunt...

Rynt · Post by **Rynt** » Wed May 07, 2003 9:17 pm

I really hope this game doesn't go commercial.If it does, I will probably pay anyway.
