This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Most Classic "Monster" not from D&D

Quote from: Skywalker;576954But Skaven don't really exist ;)

Actually, we go so sick of the "Skaven don't exist" in our WFRP game that we called our river barge "The Skaven" as a form of advertising the species existence :D

I've always thought that whole thing about Skaven extremely stupid.

Quote from: flyingcircus;575925I always liked the Jabberwocky from 1e WHFRP.  Never saw it in any other editions though, I even bought the miniature for it from I think RAL PARTHA.

Awesome, it is the same artwork as in the (translated into Lithuanian) Alice in Wonderland book I used to read as a child. That whole part with the poem and the art used to creep the shit out of me.

"Clakers" from  Elric/Stormbringer. Sort of an apelike creature with wings.

"Land sharks" from Gammaworld.
Sharks that "swim" through the earth.

It was very likely due too the way I ran them, but Carnivorous Apes under AD&D 1 were some of the most feared/hated in a number of campaigns.  Also, your standard evil cultist / possessed non-player characters.  These are not really bound to D&D.  So, they fit the question.

Oh yes, I'll add the Zhondani from the Third Imperium setting of Traveller.  Players generally hated those guys, everything about them really.

Good call.

Also commonly known as "Zhoviets" for obvious reasons.

Cthulhu.

Hey, the OP question said "monster", not necessarily "monster type".
