It doesn't quite show in this picture, but this guy is easily twice the size of the other Earth Elemental. He's big, he's bad, and he's not gonna budge!
This is the Large Water Elemental from D&D miniatures, in 2006 or so. I love how it's easy to take it off its base and just stick it on some water terrain!
Hideous creatures created from stitched-together corpses, a Thoon Hulk is essentially Frankencthulhu.
Gnolls are a type of hyena-esque humanoid. Often savage and vicious, this is less an issue of their canid nature than it is their culture - they mostly worship Yeenoghu, a demon lord.
Strange, winged, ghoul-like fiends, Berbalangs devour the dead, and can even split their bodies. A nightmare from the Philippines, the only known way to repel one is with a coconut pearl. But coconut pearls don't exist, do they?
For an elf, wearing bright colors and swinging a large sword around is considered subtle and stealthy.
Weird, beaked roach-creatures with hooks for hands, Hook Horrors are much more intelligent than they seem.
Beholders go way back in D&D, and have become so tied with the game that you can't even rip them off and get away with it! They also have many, many variahnts, from crablike Eyes of the Deep to Overseers, which resemble fleshy trees. The Eye of FLame and Eye of Frost are pretty vanilla variations, but they make sense - rather than the massive variety of spell effects usually offered bya beholder's eyestalks, these ones stick with various elemental themes. They are indeed quite nasty even with those limitations, though.
So you wanna make your skeleton warirors more intimidating? Set them on fire! Teach them the power of HADOKEN! And make it purple flames. Gotta be purple. Won't work if it's not purple.
Impartial arbiters of contracts and punishers of those who break them. The MAruts are unstoppable juggernauts from the forges of Primus in the heart of Mechanus!
"Nobody'll see through this disguise!"
Every so often, I wonder which of my photos will show up as evidence in a forthcoming trial. This one is Exhibit A.
Who knows what kind of creature they were trying to bring into the world...
A typical scene from anything based on H. P. Lovecraft's work, but not at all from anything he actually wrote.
Professor Albert N. Wilmarth once scoffed at the supernatural, especially when people began to panic about strange supposed alien sightings. But then one day, a local named Henry Akeley sent Wilmarth a letter, claiming to have absolute proof of the supernatural - and why Wilmarth should stop discussing it. When Wilmarth finds Akeley, the old man explains the ecistence of the Mi-Go, insectoid fungi creatures from the depths of space. The Mi-Go, he says, have been on earth since the beginning of time, and wish to take humans with them to explore the cosmos - preserving their lives by removing their brains and placing them into jars before the journey. Akeley even showed a jar meant for his brain, and his upcoming trip. He assured WIlmarth that not only was this real, but the Mi-Go were benevolent aliens.
That night, Akeley investigated further after hearing strange, strange whispers. And then he made a discovery that not only proved the existence of the Mi-Go, but also scared him enough to flee, run home, and never speak of it again - he found a mask and fake hands, resembling Akeley. By the time WIlmarth had arrived, Akeley had already been replaced by a Mi-Go!
