Stupid Monsters
30 years of Dungeons and Dragons
(the text in the article isn't really worth reading, but the monsters are wonderful) I love you, Owlbear

I'm a big fan of the old school Monster Manual cover. It's a Red Dragon! And a Unicorn! And a Centaur! And an Owl Bear! And a Troll! And they're all hanging out together! Plus, it looks like Napolean Dynamite drew them.
-
Deja vu... or is it?
-
I dunno, I feel like I saw it somewhere before too, but damned if I'm going to go looking for it.

the owlbear cares not for your petty morality nor your rules on double posting
-
Touche.

Here comes the owlbear. There goes the owlbear. Here it comes again. Followed by an OWLEPHANT!! And a couple of nasty stench kows. *phew!! Time to leave this thread.
-
The monsters are indeed lame, but the writer just isn't smart enough to carry off the level of sarcasm he's shooting for.
-
Owlbears were a big favorite of mine. I still have a classic Citadel Miniatures Owlbear figure from circa 1982.

I'm surprised the monkey bees didn't get mentioned on this site before now.
-
How dare you?! MONKEY BEES, ATTACK!!!
-
The fake man wins!
-
By the wayside, dng, have you ever read Borges' The Book of Imaginary Beings? It's good.
-
Gelatinous cube!
-
OwlBear Special Attack: Hug Awwwwwww. That's so cute. Makes me want to get my old D&D books out...
-
It's a hoot to make fun of the Owlbear (Not that anyone gaming will now care), But only a noob mocks Gelatinous Cube-- such a jest is not fit for an Asswere.
-
(I was always amazed that Gygax and Co. were never sued for their "creation" of the Shambling Mound. It's obviously a Man-Thing.)
-
Even a GIANT SIZED MAN-THING!
-
Hey, the UPC code is covering his giant man thing. plsfixkthxbye.
-
And some monsters are pretty kick-ass.
-
Miaow! *hearts TUM*
-
I assume by kickass you mean Mr. Whiskers there...
