A blend? Puree? Whip? Esoteric Creature Generation meet Classic Monsters
Complete and utter synapse firing in odd directions today. Somewhere around noon I decided to blend Raggi’s Random Esoteric Creature Generator with classic fantasy monsters (via Labyrinth Lord). Granted, the idea is in complete conflict with Raggi’s original intent of producing one-off interesting creatures.
Why? Sometimes “stock creatures” are a bit dull. Almost everyone knows what most of the creatures do. Change it up, shift the universe, and see what comes out. Good goal. Guaranteed to produce odd results.

[…] two tools, put them in the blender, and see what you get. That’s pretty much what Mark @ Mithril & Mages has done to create some new monsters. You should try it […]
OK, I am having way too much fun with this – a flightless bird that is a hypnotizing plant, a gigantic gnoll that lives in the ocean (where it would be a perfect opponent for Godzilla)… This generator is absolutely perfect for generating monsters for Gamma World and Mutant Future!
Nice, I hadn’t considered MF or GW. Great idea for using the chaotic output.
