Xenodeus Blade
Sage
One thing I hate about most Epic fantasies is that no matter how much the forces of the Big Bad are built up, it turns out that they are nothing more than a bunch of human-like creatures with vast numbers. In my story however, because of important story stuff, the Dark God Valestir is unable to send most of his creatures to the mortal realm. So they appear in very small numbers, but are nearly impossible to kill by conventional weapons. And instead of them being generic Orc ripe offs(though Orc do appear) his servants are true monsters. Eldrich abominations that Valestir created after slaying his father and using his corpse to forge his sword. Here are examples:
The Shock Troops: Short in stature(5 ft.) Elongated face, similar to a horse. No eyes. Jackle ears. Razor sharp teeth. Long skinny arms with foot long claws that can cut through stone. Legs resemble something of a kangaroo-tiger hybrid. Their tail resembles a scorpion's tail that fires an acid that can eat through steel. Hunt in packs. They hunt using smell, sound, and vibrations in the ground.
Commanders: Very tall(8-10 ft.) Resemble humanoid shape, only very thin. Only five exist. A black mist sorrounds them giving an appearance of a black robe. No face. Their presence causes strange effects on people, uncontrollable coughing, paranoia, memory loss, and insanity. They are cause magic to malfunction, either backfiring on the caster or not working all together. Tentacules appear from the black mist to attack their enemies.
I do have more, but I can't find the notebook that has all my ideas. If anyone has any better ideas, leave a comment.
