A large, slimy slapper that grows out of a sticky pool beneath from Might of the Mana Eggs. It mainly used physical damage to attack the enemy (you), unlike the rest of the slimes who could channel mana just like the gumdrop elemental spirits. This hand was intentionally a bit badly drawn, to give it a bit of a slimy look. I don’t think it came out just right but times was of the essence with the contest game… all of the Rpg Maker battlers had to be done in around 15 minutes or less.

This VX monster was inspired by a toy I remembered as a kid. They were in the 25 cent vending machines… little sticky arms you could stretch out and attach to things or grab them with. I had a lot of fun with those!

This small orb-like creature graphic was used for the final boss battle in “Might of the Mana Eggs”. They shifted colors and abilities every turn. More chaos seeds would spawn as the combat went on, either supporting the Glacial Doom Rock or doing damage to the players. Some of these battlers even stole almost all of your RMVX characters’ mana points!

They were also in a “rejected boss battle”… a large group of them using all of the player character skills against them. I got a lot of feedback that they were way too mean for such a cute little game monster. :)

Here’s a little monster I used for the starting dungeon in a contest game. They came in several varieties… regular, warriors, and wizards. Those were mostly just hue changes though. The arms not being directly connected beneath the neck was intentional. These gremlin creatures are meant to look a bit weird! :)

Here’s an oldy but goody. You might recognize these if you’ve been in the Rpg Maker community for quite some time. Hyptosis, an artist, made a large amount of creatures and posted them on a website everyone can use. However, almost no one knows about them these days! Why? His RM battler resources are fantastic. :) (more…)

Here’s a monster of a different sort. He’s more of an “accidental” creation, perhaps an experiment or an aberration. In our RPG game he’s on the run! The poor creature only wants to live, but some wizards have sicced hunters (you) after him for his magical energy. You see, he was just a dumb pile of rocks, until a clumsy apprentice accidently dropped a mana stone artifact onto them… (more…)
