Monsters

very nice idea

 

I wouldn't copy these directly, because of copyrights.
But it is a good reference.

 

Thanks for the share. I am going to use these creatures to enrich my story.

 

I just pull out my Monster Manual from D&D and modify the monsters in there.

 

Just make sure the ones you copy aren't the creation of D&D. The common creatures of mythos are fine to use. I do that too.

 

Ohhh, I was going to recommend Monstropedia!

One other great source for monsters: any book on prehistoric creatures. What better place to look for muse than science and history?

 

Great resource and very useful.

 

Agreed, I do it all the time:

In fact, whilst googling for that picture, I came across:

Top 10 Terrifying Prehistoric Sea Monsters | Top 10 Lists | TopTenz.net (where I got the photo)

And:

Top 10 Bizarre Prehistoric Animals | Top 10 Lists | TopTenz.net

Not the best lists but if you look up prehistoric animals in general, or ancient sea monsters, you'll find some incredible things. There are numerous DVDs (Walking With series) and books/collections out there.

 

One of the above links led me to a list called "Top 10 Monsters in the Bible." One of the entries was "The 200 Million Horsemen" which is apparently a massive army of supernatural cavalry set to show up during Armageddon.

"Their horses have the heads of lions, tails like serpents, and spit smoke, fire and brimstone out of their mouths. Eventually, they’re responsible for the deaths of a third of all mankind. The horsemen army is led by four fallen angels, which is never good."



Okay, that's just metal.

 

There is soooooooo much choice

 

The top link isn't working for me? Hm.
