>boss fight time >sexy female villain transforms herself into a huge monster
Does anyone else hate this trope? Is this some misguided "oh you can't hit a girl" thing that's survived for decades? Do they really think murderhobos will hesitate to kill an enemy because they're hot?
It's so the fans will have another character to make weird porn of. Duh.
Julian Gutierrez
No, it's the opposite. You see, your average murderhobo will just draw their sword, step towards the villain, and lop their head off. By transforming into a huge monster, you turn the situation from a single-stroke victory into an actual battle for your party of murderhobos.
Michael Rodriguez
Not really. I love killing big, mean monsters with oversized swords and big explosions.
Ayden Jenkins
>>boss fight time >>huge monster villain transforms itself into a sexy female
Ryder Torres
Murderhobos would do something to a hot female enemy, and it might end in their death, but it /probably/ won't start that way.
Liam Harris
>Pic Wasn't that show all about transforming into weird monsters? I never watched it.
And the obvious answer is that a huge monster is supposed to be more intimidating. Hell, a dragon is generally more intimidating than a hulking man, so it's not even sexist.
So Final Fantasy, basically. Or Dragonball Z. Just that it's actually a guy.
Ayden Adams
You and me both, user. You and me both.
Easton Mitchell
Personally I like it when it's permanent and horrifying, like a witch becoming a horrific spider hybrid.
If someone wanted to redeem them, it reduces the chance of them dicking the bad guy and makes it more of a moralfag decision.
Robert Thompson
>Villian turns into something, that can fight the squad of murderhobos. >Does anyone else hate this trope?
No, it's way better than turning it into a generic "oh shit, she's fast!"-anime bullshit. If she isn't a mage, then there is no chance she'll be able to kill the team of paladins/wizards/blackguars alone in a melee fight.
Christopher Campbell
>Huge monstrous transformations are not sexy or feminine
I'm tired of you.
Brandon Wilson
It's because a giant dragon is normally more of a threat than a human. Fighting a big monster is more of a big final fight setpiece than fighting a regular person.
Shouldn't really need to spell this out for you OP but please keep thinking the primary reason is we can't hit girls and not because its cooler to hit giant monsters.
Thomas Sullivan
I'd rather do the dragon than the girl
Jack Hernandez
.I prefer it when the girl "part" is actually just growing out of the monster like some kind of vestigial lure. Body horror goes a long way to make a fight and monster memorable
Asher Hall
no that's gay
Cameron Ramirez
Because it's a trap?
Connor Brown
>woman that turns into a monster with a dick
I'll take three!
Cooper Lee
Only if there's no option for the PCs to also turn into huge monsters. If it ends in kaiju battles then it's all good.
Matthew Rivera
it's because one single woman is never threatening no matter how many levels they may have. Even if it's a one-on-one, there's no real "threat" factor involved.
Jaxon Gutierrez
I thought Freiza was a woman through most of Namek and that was really cool to 11 year old me.
I'm just now realizing that's where my love of using superpowered chicks as bad guys probably comes from.
Tyler Moore
>Does anyone else hate this trope?
I don't think even you do, I just think you wanted to discuss it.
Nathan Gonzalez
more likely the BBEG was always a male dragon using a female human as an alt form
basically using the whole seductress thing to fuck around with mortals and his real form to throw weight around
so yes she always was a trap
Nolan Morgan
But it's the same with male characters
Carson Baker
This. Even Disney does it, because it's one of the easiest way you can make the villain look more badass and less human.
Jackson Campbell
Yeah, that's a pretty good aesthetic.
Logan Foster
>boss fight time >huge monster villain transforms herself into a sexy female Would this be better?
Luke Nguyen
>boss fight time >sexy female villain transforms herself into a huge sexy female monster
Luis Nguyen
how about >ugly witch transforms herself into sexy female monster
Jaxson Rodriguez
I'll take it
Leo Carter
Are you high, OP? Are you alright?
You get to have a big badass fight where you vanquish a huge goddamn monster, against all odds, and then you get to gloat over the dying girl that could've avoided all this by just using her magic bullshit not being a dick.
Honestly, fights against much larger opponents are overrated. They tend to feel pretty unheroic, honestly.

Cameron Fisher
No i meant something like echoes of aetheria final boss
Henry Brown
Clearly our tastes differ. I respect your giantess fetish though.
Asher Parker
thanks. And i respect yours
Juan Adams
Naw, it's primarily because the party is primed for an assault on a humanoid, medium sized target.
Now they've got a huge beast with god knows what kinds of attacks and abilities. It's more a way to add unpredictability than anything.
It's also to help keep the bard from trying to seduce it. It doesn't work though.
Levi Torres
Is it a sexy monster?
Juan Myers
So would half of Veeky Forums
Best version of this
Correction, her turning into a sexy giantess or a dragoness is the best version of this
Dominic Ward
>Does anyone else hate this trope?
No. It's just you, because fun is your anathema, your antithesis.
Chase Moore
>Do they really think murderhobos will hesitate to kill an enemy because they're hot? Yes, because some of them will, because they think with their dick. I don't see how it's connected to >sexy female villain transforms herself into a huge monster though.
Blake Thomas
>>boss fight time >>sexy female villain transforms herself into a huge monster I've literally never seen this >Is this some misguided "oh you can't hit a girl" thing that's survived for decades? I don't know how you came to that retarded conclusion, but the more obvious one is that giant monsters make for better boss fights. This isn't up for discussion, they just do.
Ian Morales
One more item to my list of "I only heard about this on the web".

Who else wants to make a "Caviars of Veeky Forums" thread?
Brandon Fisher
Never run into it. We fought a slinky sexy get sorceress and beat the shit out of her.
I think my wizard finished her by telekineticly throwing her out of the window through the leaded glass.
It was brutal but she blew the dwarf into candy chunks. I was miffed.
Ethan Sanchez
Veeky Forums talks about redeeming female enemies a lot, but can you redeem a female giant monster?
Lucas Powell
Why would you want to?
Joshua Turner
Yeah, sure, why not?
Daniel Bell
>Why would you want to?
What sort of question is that? Do you know where you are?
Adam Campbell
>Does anyone else hate this trope? I don't think I've ever encountered this trope, in games or in media.
I'm not convinced you didn't just make this up.
Josiah Carter
Either for lewd reasons or to gain a powerful big ally to cuddle with
Jacob Bell
Depends. Can you trap her in monster form or not? If not, it's useless.
Thomas Campbell
>Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy plays the cliche straight. The first form is normally the humanoid form, and then they become more ridiculous as they go on.
Or at least, that's how it was for 7-10. Also 12, IIRC
Jaxson Johnson
>All these people ITT who never watched Sleeping Beauty or played Kingdom Hearts
Damn neo-millenials.
Jordan Jackson
I suppose that's because big monsters are generally treated as slow, so you take apart this helpless chump one bit at a time rather than locking blades with a worthy foe
Ryder Reyes
I have done it once. Cunning but seemingly harmless halfling female villlain turns into black dragon for boss fight. Great fun was had both during the proper fight and during the investigation that led to identify her as the villain.
Lincoln Jones
Personally I like it when you fight the sexy youthful villainess and she turns into a wizened old crone and the party bard starts barfing
Joshua Johnson
Sure, if you have a horndog in the party. Pancake tits always skeeve roleplayers out.
Henry Diaz
It's much more entertaining if they've attempted to seduce said character and even better if they succeeded
Cooper Thompson
Definitely.
David Allen
I roll to seduce the dragoness
Michael James
Why do you hate when sexy things happen, OP?
Matthew Russell
FUCK
YES.
Dominic Russell
>Do they really think murderhobos will hesitate to kill an enemy because they're hot? Happens all the time.
Logan Nguyen
Even though he was consistently addressed as LORD Frieza?
Hudson Sanchez
Meanwhile in Rance 03, Gele takes the form of a loli.
Justified though, since she's only at a fraction of her power and cannot take her full adult form. She's still one of the strongest opponents Rance (and mankind in general) has ever fought.
Daniel Howard
Our temp DM loved to do the oposite. Having an horrible and masculine monster transform into a beautiful female as their ultimate form for more power.
Then the main DM came back and most voted to just go back to the classical monsters.
Joshua Hall
It's hip to fuck bees
James Barnes
It's a common trope for villains in general to turn into monsters as their final form
Why aren't you complaining when a man does it?
Charles Clark
Because they turn into badass monsters that are recognizable as them.
Asher Baker
The OP pic's monster is pretty recognizable. The color scheme is identical, and the dragon's horns and body markings reference the girl's hair and coat, respectively, pretty thoroughly.
Joshua Walker
She didn't transform into that form though.
I guess the logical comparison would be Noce and Kamilla. Both Dragons turned Demons.
Kamilla stays in her normal form while Noce first turns this and then goes full Dragon
Logan Allen

Noah Sanders
You say that but look at the OP pic. The dragon version of Charm Caster still has her color scheme and even retains her heart motif and the curling stripes on the jacket, while still l having her charms on her chest and around her neck. That isn't just a generic dragon design, but one that evokes the human Charm Master's design. It is recognizabley Charm Chaster, just obviously a monster form.
And it's done the same way in what that's clearly referencing, Maleficent's dragon form in Sleeping Beauty. Her hat is the same as the horns of the dragon form, and the purple and black cloak evokes the shape of the dragon. And both forms have the same colors.
I think you're blind, user.
Adrian White
...
Jace Long
I prefer it when the party learns she's actually a giant monster in disguise, before the point of fighting her. Like the happen upon her in private without her noticing, and she assumes her monster form because it's more comfortable.
Or like, she changes back to monster form if she loses concentration, like while sleeping, or if she experiences too much stress or gets caught off guard/frightened. Or... is she experiences too much pleasure and loses control.
Alexander Miller
>Or... is she experiences too much pleasure and loses control.
Jonathan Davis
Not that user but I thought the same thing. Didn't realize until later on that Lady was the female equivalent of Lord, just thought that Lord was a generic ruler title.
James Gray
>"oh you can't hit a girl" thing It's more of a, "they aren't human anymore, so its okay to murder them" thing.
Grayson Hughes
>I don't think I've ever encountered this trope, in games or in media. >Or in Media How about Sleeping fucking Beauty? You know, the Sorceress turns herself into a fucking Dragon.
Josiah Anderson
The monster is harder to kill (It's assumed in a lot of media most 'hot' female enemies are squishy and mostly rely on magic), so I think it's more for pragmatic reasons. Plus if they're a dragon it's much less likely the PCs will attempt to seduce- at least in a public game.
Jackson Myers
>after facing the heroes, the monster attempts to learn Justice, thinking that it must be a secret fighting technique
Ryder Collins
I'll take things that never happened for 1000.

Andrew Hughes

Aiden Richardson
Plus he wore lipstick and sounded like my grandma.
Tyler Lewis
What if instead of slaying the villainess-turned-beast you enslave her and use her as a mount?
Parker Butler
Actually that spider girl from that monster girl doujin is really well designed. The one with the centaur and shit.
It makes her hips and legs the mandibles of the spider so where her snatch would be would be the literal hole of the mouth. And it flows really well.
It's a surprisingly good design for a spider woman for a lewd comic. I'm not even interested in the sexy, just impressed by the amount of thought that went into it.
John Brooks
Kind of acted like my grandma too. The imperious bitch.
Dominic Mitchell
We did this once with our BBEG, except she wasn't a monster and didn't transform or anything, she was just a normal (still dangerous though, obviously) orc.
John Peterson
Don't see why not. SOP in my current party is that you can redeem anyone that is willing to be redeemed. Redemption isn't easy, but the path is there for everyone. What kind of creature they are or how big doesn't matter.
Hudson Hernandez
Maleficent is the archetype for "would rather fuck the monster than the woman" characters.
Landon Moore
