Unconventional monster brainstorming thread

Stealing this

Really pushing my brains I can imagine 4-dimensional tesseract, but even then it's hard to simultaneously remember every section is still a normal cube.
I can't really imagine 5-dimensional shit.

The idea is not mine, it came from a manga called "Spirit Circle".
mangareader.net/spirit-circle

Its best to use 3 dimensional manifolds to express any higher dimensional space and simply use the connections between the rooms as higher dimensional travel points. That way every room is always 3 dimensional in nature and easy to understand while travel between rooms is the only area you have to worry about wonky shit which means once you know the rules shits easy to get down. Head straight twice and you reach room 4 which has connections to all other rooms type shit suddenly becomes easy.
Hell once you have diagrams and charts to show you getting to understand non-euclidean space time actually becomes simple to understand.

>Undead soldier demands to see a travel pass issued by a country that no longer exists to get into a city that has long since fallen to ruin

is pic related a serious suggestion, how could a party navigate through a dimension that they cant even imagine lol

It's more a problem for GM to keep track of their position.

>They don't even know they are undead. They were all forevervirgins anyways so they aren't surprised they haven't had sex in 5,000 years.
>Neighboring kingdoms humor them by having their scribes forge documents similar enough looking documents, and the forgeries aren't ever found out because the design drifted just slightly enough from year to year that the undead soldiers just assume that it was because someone else was given the job of distributing the travel passes.

>not using mathematics
>not having the innate ability to imagine 4 dimensional objects and the ability to project 5d with paperwork
>not playing achron

Well to be fair if you've seen a few decent drawings of a 4 dimensional space you can imagine how it works relatively easily. Most people just only know shit like hypercubes in stand still where a 3d animation easily shows how it moves.

Yeah, 4d isn't -that- hard.
5d is kind of hard because it requires A LOT OF BRAINSPACE to render even the simplest of objects.

A Fist Hydra
The head of the monster is a Giant Fist
For every time a new head grows there is another fist adding to the Hydra's flurry-of-blows style attack.

Yeah. 5d+ is where the DM needs to he a mathematician and the players suckers for pain.

This is why we need advanced robots to do the hard parts for us.
Fuck you, science, not making advanced robots for me. Stop telling me it's impossible or really hard. I am willing to pay like, as much as for a car.

We already tried that shit with fembots and the feminists got their panties in a twist. How do you think scientists would handle making their own replacements? Now we got shits like the chinese working on them and you KNOW they'll make it it usinf the cheapest material and labor but jack the price up like nike.

I know someone drew up a map of that nonsense, but I never saved it. Anyone else have it on hand?

All I want in life is to just save up enough to buy a robot to do the hard parts for me.
And everything and everyone says no.

I honestly think we should just so that Big Empty bullshit and just take smart brains and keep them in jars and stupid brains get the lobotomite treatment. Now we have organic fembots and science robots and i get a kickass cyborg dog who pee's acid.

I feel like we should have a dedicated zone that does that and has people dropped in every few weeks.
While the rest of us reap the benefits.

quick, jam its reel so it becomes paralyzed!

How was that monster called that, when there's a creature so powerful in the universe, it mere existence provokes an echo in the reality that it's a mirror version of that monster but weaker/stronger?

Oh no! Someones dusting in its general vacinity!

it slaps your hand and casts Pencil-assisted Rewind

Shit, it's too strong.
Evacuate the facility and activate the self destruct!

you better hope that tape is recoverable. It's the last remaining copy of Tupelo Honey in this world

>it actually got destroyed in the self destruct
Thank god. Killteams are bad at psychokinetic foes.

The world will live on and thats all the matters. It will just be a little colder...

Well, that's only if you're going with four dimensions necessarily including the temporal dimension. If it's simply a hypercube extending through four spatial dimensions, then it's a whole different animal.

The players encounter a roundish giant rock, with 20 sides of equal area and a rune inscribed on each side, situated in a large chamber. When touched, however, the giant rock tumbles around the room, potentially smashing the players, and depending on which side it lands on, creating a random effect, including transformation into a monster that must be defeated before the rock can revert to its original state. Only by landing on a proper rune may the players advance.

I think this is what you're looking for

Statblock it and maybe.

>look at the Fist Hydra's stat block
>Name: Chuck Norris, 3rd to final form

I'm a creative type. You do the math and balancing.

Then statblock it creatively. The only limitations one puts on themselves are perceived much a the hopes, dreams, and personal image we have are imaginary. Creative your way through it.

the fourth dimension is time
there are only 3 spatial dimensions x, y, and z

Technically speaking it could be any other dimension as there are several. We're speaking of simply using ONE of the various others as a pseudon physical dimension. Ex:a 4th dimensional being could in all likelihood use the dimension we'd call time in a physical manner or its nearest translation.

Did you ever read that WWII fantasy manga with the trench of Soviet zombies doing exactly that?

>it's a Chuck Norris joke

Are you a 12 year old who time-traveled here from the year 2004

I love this

I make GHCs exist on multiple (10) planes at once and while inside it you transport to a different random plane each round.

Orc mummies, long forgotten civilization of orcs mummified their dead. Unique rite is that they would remove one of the eyes and replace it with a gem carved into the shape of the eye of Gruumsh. Quality and value of gem reflected orc's status in life.

What about Ogre Mummies?

...

The way i see it*

Haven't done it before, but I might.

Jesus fucking Christ this is incredible.

...

Can we go even further? A 6D dungeon perhaps.

IF we want something simple, shouldn't a hypercube slime simply be a slime who exist both in the material and etherial plane?(And on every other existing plane, but always on the same space)

I actually ran this once with my group. It was surprisingly easy to navigate for them once they explored the first cube and deduced that every cube is self-contained. From there on out it's flipping switches until you find a cube with a way out.

What the fuck I'm looking at? Dungeon with doors leading to the same room?

You are now aware that this object is not a cube passing through another cube, but rotating around a central point.

>he can't visualise 5D objects in a 2D format
5D isn't hard, you just need more paper.
