Hypnotized by the spyeye eyeball of Optikk...
Les "gendarmes" de Baator. Ce sont des êtres horribles, osseux et bancals, qui ressemblent à des humains complètement desséchés dont la peau du crâne serait distendue et comme prête à craquer. Ils possèdent une longue queue semblable à celle d'un scorpion, et dégagent une immonde odeur de décomposition et de pourriture.
Xulgath is a Troglodyte - slimy, stinky subterranean lizard people. He's a unique one, and leads just enough of his kind of make him into a more convincing target.
Is this your only defense against the Kraken?

"You don't want to know where his mouth has been."
No, no, you don't. Nobody does.
One of the more visually-striking and surreal figures I have ever seen, the Teethmauler looks like something Ed "Big Daddy" Roth might have drawn. In-game, its ability is kinda odd - bonus damage based on ally faction - but it just looks cool, and is one of the more display-worthy pieces of horrifyingness in Dreamblade.
When a particularly evil person is klled in a ghost's haunt, its spirit might linger as a horric monster, appearing to be an amorphous cloak with teeth.
After playing a bunch of the Magic the Gathering game on my iPad, I decided to get some actual physical cards this past weekend. Not sure if that's a good thing… I did play a game with a friend though, and had fun! I guess now it's time to see who still plays...

The 4th edition of Dungeons & Dragons redid Troglodygtes to be bulkier and more like dinosaurs. I prefer to think of them as another subspecies.
Sorry, America, I like my idols cyclopean and eldritch. Poor Philip Phillips just can't compete!
As one of the Anvilborn from Dreamblade, the Bonecarved Idol automatically moves a little closer to the center every round. Its main use, aside from having fairly strong stats, is that it changes initiative rolls every round.
Also, it's nice and creepy and monstrous. Just what I want in an idol!
The Hiveling faction was full of nasty little bugs that generally worked pretty well together. One of the higher-level units from there was the Overlord, a disturbing zombie with spider legs. He could teleport between squares with Hiveling allies, and spread "Venom" damage, which hurt people in a different way than regular damage.
Also, wow, that's creepy.
if anything can become a ghost, then we have a lot to fear.
The miniature I used for this is the Hellcat, which is a type of Devil and not a ghost lion. But come on, look at it!
Since Dragonborn are inherently martial and Klingonish, I'd say that a Dragonborn Champion has to be pretty tough.
Vicious desert dragons, Blue Dragons actually breathe lightning as a weapon, easily turning the sand into glass.
Formerly known as the Dracotaur, Drakkoths are a race of dragon-centaur-dudes. That's most of what there is to them, although they make good barbarians, and actually have the option to be a player race. Odd thing is, they physically resemble lizardfolk more than they do dragons.
The Kingdom of Karrnath demonstrates one of the things that makes Eberron unique as a setting - Karrnathi necromancers are not discouraged, nor are they necessarily evil. Zombies and skeletons make up the vast majority of their military forces, ensuring that their citizens - even the soldiers - remain safe in most conflicts.
And man, some zombies just know how to rock the old sword and shield, ya know?
It's too bad that this character never got a quote on its base. Although it is somewhat useless (It can't approach an enemy, so you have comparatively little control over using it), it is... very pretty. A great study on how to us limited color schemes to great effect. It's also an odd combination of Native American and Asian themes, in its own odd way.
Apparently, they just didn't feel like sculpting his barbs, but Barbed Devils are spiny little schemers, and really aren't safe to touch.
Remember that Stephen King story with the cymbal-clanging monkeydoll that killed people?
Remember that low-budget movie with the cymbal-clanging monkeydoll that killed people?
Remember that OTHER low-budget movie with the cymbal-clanging monkeydoll that killed people?
Dreamblade has an extremely fragile monster that nonetheless can assault figures still in your opponent's resrerves, hopefully taking them out before the fight begins.
A relatively "new" player race in D&D, Goliaths made their debut in 3rd edition, but quickly gained traction, so much that ther's a Goliath in the third D&D movie (Ha! Didn't know there was a third, did you?).
Goliaths are related to the Earth, but not made of stone. Sons of the stone, they are big, ponderous, strong... but not slow, and not stupid. They make great barbarians for that reason - like the very avalanche, when they start moving, nothing will stop them.
"You could call it a force of nature except that forces of nature aren't this cruel."
dreamblade's take on the Jotun frost trolls, the Shard Troll looks cool, was a nice showoffy piece for its first set, has some D&D utility... and is kind of clunky in the game. He can attack during the spawn phase, but it costs a lot of spawn points, and he's very, very fragile... like ice! Ice, ice, baby.
This old, classic monster takes a few cues from Swamp Thing, Man-Thing, The Heap, and loads of other swamp monsters! A sentient plant monster made of tangled mounds of vegetable life, Shambling Mounds possess rudimentary intelligence and a surprising amount of bloodthirst. An odd thing to note is that they aren't just immune to lightning, but electricity heals them, and can occasionally turn them into Stormrage Shamblers - powered-up, berserk variants.!!
