Being able to turn into a dragon would be a good reason to bring back the Dragon's Set I saw in Divine <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
As for monsters, I agree that there should be some original stuff... hmmm...
Well,
I won't be able to be too helpful with that right now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> , but maybe if there needs to be a demonic type monster, keep in mind the idea of making something that doesn't have any basis of what we've already seen:
That is, go all out. A demon's shape doesn't need animal or humanoid basis. Make it some sort of freak, something that makes the player cringe at the sight of... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> I dunno...
As for giant monsters, I've got an idea from a book I read:
A gigantic worm-like creature that lives in dark caves/tunnels, with hundreds of blind eyes in random patches on its body, a round mouth of rows of razor sharp teeth, open oozing sores all over its body... ewww <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
I got this idea from Stephen King's
The Dark Tower series, though I forget which book its from... the sixth?
Besides all these freakish ideas, there should also be something somewhat familiar: besides traditional monsters, we could also include the good ole hostile animals (of course). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
I really don't have any good non-crazy sounding ideas, I'll leave that to everyone else. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
Killerzzz
