Video Game Forums

So you guys had some decent ideas, and I'm not sure which to start. Animation's a bit of an undertaking, so let's make sure we've got a half-solid consensus on a favorite before I start. Options are:

__________________________________________________________

ACID HAND - X-3
It is a disembodied hand made out of some horrible sludge-like substance. It attacks by punching you, burning your skin with its terrible chemicals. It can also shoot fingers at you.

[strike]BURNING SNOWMAN - X-3
It is a large snowman that is on fire. It uses magic.[/strike] Chosen First!


__________________________________________________________

STOPWATCH - Jere
A watch that has a high HP, it takes one of your stats and slowly lowers it to 0 (or lowest possible value), when all that stat is down you die.


__________________________________________________________

GOLEMS - Loot
Clay Golem - A mage apprentice's experiment with creating life.
Regular stats, no problem.
Attacks with physical, weak earth magic.

Stone Golem - He will rock you with bad puns.
Slightly higher defense, weak to magic
Attacks with physical, defends.

Iron Golem - What a waste of metal. Good luck telling him that, though.
High defense, high attack, slightly weak to magic. Low accuracy, low speed, it is made of metal after all.
Attacks with physical.

Diamond Golem - Jk, it's just a cubic zirconia golem.
Very high defense
Attacks with light magic, defends.

MAGIC/WIZARDRY - Loot

Magus - An apprentice of the dark arts, seeks adventurers for their blood.
Low defense, low attack, decent magic.
Uses dark magic

Necromancer - That's MANCER, you sick freak.
Medium-low defense, good magic.
Is there any way to always have two types of monsters appear? That would be sweet to always run into both a necromancer AND a zombie or skeleton. Also uses dark magic.

Corrupted Priest - Gone mad, yet still reversed in holy magic.
Low defense, good magic, good speed.
Uses a variety of magic, can heal (But only, like, 10 HP.)

__________________________________________________________

STORM CLOUD - KirbyBoy2000

Storm Cloud - A black cloud, crackling with electricity.
Magically based, defenses probably average.
Water / Electric spells. Also a spell to boost its Magic Attack called Overcast. :P

__________________________________________________________

[strike]MERCENARY BATTLE BEAR - Masahiro
A bear standing in a humanoid pose, dressed as a commando, wielding a shotgun, a knife and grenades.[/strike]Chosen Second!

__________________________________________________________

WRAITHS - Kargath
Sleeping Shadow Wraith
- Attacks with a low-damage magical attack "Innate Black Aura" every turn
- High defence and HP
- Has a 10% chance each turn to turn into "Awakened Shadow Wraith"

Awakened Shadow Wraith
- Attacks with a medium damage magical attack "Channeled Black Aura" every turn
- Loses high defence, keeps net HP of sleeping form
- 50% chance to use "Black Maim" each turn - heavy physical attack

__________________________________________________________


BATTLE PENGUIN - Valigarmander
A penguin with an axe. Attacks primarily with its axe, but can breathe a cone of frost that damages the entire party. Average strength. Resistant to cold, weak to heat.

LEAPING LIZARD - Valigarmander
A swift-moving little lizard. Attacks primarily by biting, and can also inflict poison. Low health and defense, but high evasion. Weak to cold.

__________________________________________________________



I think I'm partial to the Burning Snowman and the Stopwatch ideas most. How about the rest of you?

BURNING SNOWMAN - X-3
It is a large snowman that is on fire. It uses magic.

Burning Snowman.

One of these?

BURNING SNOWMAN - X-3

Probably burning snowman or the merc bear.

MERCENARY BATTLE BEAR.

where did my previous vote go?

Burning snowman or Mercenary Bear, i don't want to vote on myself.

Mercenary Battle Bear should be the final goddamn battle. My sweet ****ing jesus.

But for real, the Merc Bear and the Burning Snowman. Honorable Mention goes to Leapin' Lizard.

stopwatch

Stopwatch sounds like it could be a pretty neat encounter.

Okay, thanks for joining in the vote, guys.

Burning Snowman: 7

Merc Battle Bear: 5

Stopwatch: 3

Leapin Lizard: 2

Battle Penguin: 1

Burning Snowman's the winner with Stop Watch in second!

Any late-comers will still be counted toward the secondary enemy, but I'm starting on the Burning Snowman ASAP so consider it crossed off the list!



NOW ACCEPTING VOTES for the second enemy concept!

If you already voted for a concept that did not win the first poll, you may vote again to change your preference. If you do not vote again, I will assume your previous vote still stands!

If you vote again, your new vote supersedes/overrides your previous post. If someone like Jere or Val wants to vote for his own, for instance, now's perfectly appropriate to do so!

Acid Hand is way cool.

Merc bear!

Battle Penguin

Battle Bear and Acid Hand

I'm an Admin so I get two votes.

The Shadow Wraith!

Thanks for your votes so far, guys. Still time until tomorrow when I'll call it for new votes!

Okay, here are the results:


Mercenary Battle Bear - 6

Stopwatch - 3

Battle Penguin - 2

Leapin Lizard - 2

Acid Hand - 2

Shadow Wraith - 1


So Mercenary Battle Bear is the second winrar. Congrats and thank you Masa, I'll get started soon.

Thanks to everyone for voting!
