6 What non-D&D monster
do you think is as iconic as D&D ones like hook horrors or
flumphs, and why do you think so?
Gotta go back to Star
Frontiers for this one. And IMO it's the most iconic monster (not
counting the Sathar as monsters) from the game.
The Quickdeath.
This bad boy is
genetically engineered to ruin your day. Literally. The Sathar
twisted the genes of the common cat to create this monstrosity, and
it has numerous ways to tear you limb from limb, chew you to pieces,
crush you in its tentacles, and then deposit whatever's left in the
kitty litter.
And since it's in the
book, and anyone who plays through the Volturnus modules will likely
face one armed only with a spear and a straw dummy to use as a
distraction, players will fear this monster. It really fits its
simple name.
I oughta do a conversion
for Basic D&D and throw some in my megadungeon, now that I think
of it...
