Some old creatures that can be welcomed

A lot of people enjoyed the mimic (not everyone I know). Could be awesome (ot not) to see some more "old-style" creatures from the Ultimas/old rpgs mixed with the new ones. Some examples:


Gelatinous cubes, they could be dangerous for you equipment, or make you a human kebab.




Gazers, aka "fake beholders", the ancient wizard worst pet.




Reapers, your "some kind of mimic" lumberjacking friend.




Zorns, or "wtf is this". The ugly cousin of the Princhers.




Sand traps, something dangerous in your feet, and also the Boba Fett mortal enemy.

 

...or an old favourite..


( sorry for the 2nd post...guess I can't edit yet until I get a few more under my belt ! )

 

Floor! We need Floors! Scariest monster ever!

 

I was thinkign that some slimes can be also cool. But for be more old fashioned they should multiply. ^^

More than those?



Gremlins, yes, and they steal your food!

I didnt remember that one! ^^ Thanks.

Another monster. I always wonder how this could be a kraken...

 

Eriador said :

Like Tribbles !?!?

 

OMG! Why not? XD

 

My pic wasn't a kraken though, it was this,


Also, here's another one,


And how about this,


And this,


Or this,

 

I know that was not a kraken, that why I added "another monster". But make me remind the kraken in UO, that was... And when you kill it you got wooden logs. Lol. XD I wonder if any of these monster have any possibility to be in the game. The reaper I think will be, but others... And some of them I really like it!.

 

The Kraken from UO pictured simply used the Corpser graphic (at least for a while... it has since gained its own model).

The Reaper would be a great addition in the lines of the Mimic (does not "activate" until you attempt to interact with it).

The "Sand Trap" I have always known as the Corpser (although UO makes it more of a plant-type creature, so maybe room for a Corpser Plant and a Subterranean Corpser?).



Ah yes... Hydras were also fun in U6, and were kind of added into UO (well, really shoe-horned in based on where they spawn) as a Quagmire.

 

Yes, the kraken have the same graphic that the coprser, just with another color. They changed it in that new 3D client, but I never like it. :S And yes, true, hydras amd quagmires were pretty similar!

Lets remember those:

 

What about goblins, orcs, ettin, trolls, gargoyles.... These are not owned by EA

 

Yes, I assume that they will use most of those.

 

I hope we get a good mix of old and new, however, mainly I hope any "old" creatures are not simply thrown in because they are familiar and nostalgic, but because they can bring an interesting dynamic or challenge to the game.

 

Yes, for example "gazers" could have the "antimagic" cone. Cubes could be the "repairers dream".

back in the day I was always afraid of Gazers/Elder Gazers in UO
