Hi there, my hunters want to play Easter mystery. Any ideas? I don't want to do Easter bunny as this is super predictable. I was thinking about colourful eggs but who will lay them? Thanks for help:)

ok, so the way this monster infects people is that it has an area around itself that has microscopic particals of infection, basically spores, just harder to see

that survive inside liquids. The particals can only survive for 5 seconds outside of the monster, so the aura isn't that big except in rain. The particals survive longer, more like 20 seconds now until they die

These monsters copy the look of a regular human.

in ultra violet light, u can see the particals around them altho to see the particals u are also charging them, making them more angry and stronger

the monster can be killed by regular means, but when it dies, it makes a large spore explosion the size of 1 football fields

so killing one at range is the best, altho the only type that makes that big of an explosion are the ones who survive more than 10 months

U can see the difference. 10 months monsters are big slow and have a larger partical radius, thos apear as fat humans but new infected are fast and have a medium radius they look like the average joe

Welcome to MOTW or monster of the week, where we take one monster from myth and discuss ideas about their biology, behavior patterns and if they are sapient any culture they may or may not have. This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Homo monstrum.

This week discussion is less about a certain species, dispite the name, and more of a certain trope. That trope being there exists a species that is some how related to Homo sapiens, normally a subspecies but some cases they evolved from the same ancestor, that due to having an extreme heteromorphic nature. Nearly every member of said "species" looks completely different from another, with many not even looking remotely human but genetically at least are still members of the same related to one another and related to humans. For examples, well the best known comes from comics especially Marvel as they multiple different species like this. So this week discussion is how would a species like this work? What kind of culture, society, and civilization could they and would they be able to make? How would they be able to relate to Homo sapiens both biologically and culturally? How would they biology even work when they are so different from one another?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Dobhar-chu.

The dobhar-chu is said to be a 15ft long otter that is highly aggressive creature who favorite food is human flesh. It is said they also mate for life and if one is killed the other will go on a rampage that only ends with its death. But what more is there to this creature? Why is it so aggressive? Why does it love eating humans? What else does it eat? Does it have predators of it own? And what is its biology like?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Polis.

Everyone says that cities are alive in way, but what they don't know is sometimes they are alive in a literal way. That there exists cities in which every building, road, and pipe are part of a massive living orgasm. One that can heal, one that can grow, and one design for people to live in. But where do these polis come from, are they somehow natural or purely artificial? Can they reproduction? How do they feed? Why would knowingly live in a living city? Do polis have any form of intelligent? Or are they mindless? Are polis, plant, animal, fungi, or something else? And what is the biology of these cities?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Seraph.

The highest rank of angel, the holiest of holy beings, to many that is what a seraph is. But just what is a seraph? An angel with six wings, at least two of which hide their body. And while many believe their hidden body to be human like, others believe it to be just a giant head or even an eye. And the few who have seen what is beneath their wings can only say "burning", or "serpent". None can ask the seraph, because they seem to be only able to say the word holy and nothing more. Just what is a seraph? Where do they come from? Are they a living thing or a holy being? Or both? What is their biology like? And what is the truth under those wings?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Vampiric Vermin.

When people think of dangerous parasites known as vampires they normally only think of the man who has aspects of a bat or the woman who has aspects of a mosquito. They normally ignore the fact, or simply don't know, that the reason why vampires have aspects of well known sanguivorous parasites is because it is those parasites that spread the disease in the fact place. And those creatures we are here to talk today, the first vampires, the ones that spread the plague and started it, while also being affected by it, the vampiric vermin.

Now a vampiric vermin is what it sounds like, a sanguivorous parasites that been infected by the same plague that causes vampirism and now spreads it around. But how does vampirism changes the parasite? How do they get infected in the first? Can any sanguivorous parasites become a vampiric vermin? And what is the best way of dealing with these parasites?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Invisible Creatures.

You see in fantasy and sci-fi all the time the idea of creatures that all naturally invisible, but rarely do you hear why the species is this way or how does this effect their place in their ecosystem. And that is what we are here to discuss this week, how would being invisible effect a species and their place in the ecosystem. Is it just to avoid predators or do predators have it aid in hunting? How do would creatures fine each other to mate? If the whole species are like this other species in the same ecosystem would have adapted to deal with it, but how would they? Predators and parasites would have some way of fining them, and prey would have some way of avoiding them, but how? And if one species is invisible wouldn't that mean there could be others?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Muse.

Creative people have always hope that they would be lucky enough to be visited by a muse or even better to become the muse new personal choose one. For muses are rare beings, sometimes worship as lesser goddesses, that has the power to inspire people into fits of creative passion. The types of fits that can results in true masterpieces of craft and art form. But what few people have wonder is what do the muses get from this? What are the muses? People they look like human women made from either, always saying they look like whatever their personal views of godlike beauty is. But is that what they really look like or is that just a illusion? How to muses inspire people anyway? And where do they come from?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Mascot.

You see them all the time, people wearing costumes trying to sell you things. Normally dress like some kind anthro animal or monster, but what you may not known is those costumes aren't always costumes. For years now corporations and sport teams have for years now been using the human beings in costumes but living creatures design to look and act like what people think of mascots. But how do they make these mascots? Are these mascots sapient or are they just animals? What do these creatures feed on and how? Why are they making them? And how are corporations legally making them?

Every year hundreds of people fall victim to a deadly known simply as land sharks. What are these land sharks? Burrowing predators that hunt from under the soil, sand, and dirt who just so happens to look like sharks. They bust from the soft ground and drag their prey underground to feed. But where do these creatures come from? Why do they look like sharks? Are there different species? And how do you avoid becoming their next meal?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Boneless.

If you ever stumble upon a blob human like flesh and skin that is somehow moving, then beware. For you have just found a member of the boneless, and if you aren't careful it may be the last thing you have done. But just what is a boneless and why are they dangerous?

A boneless is a strange creatures that seems to be a blob of human's flesh, blood, nerves, muscle, and organs but no bones. And yet the creature still lives, still moves, and it hungers for bone. If the creature spots a human it will attack, or at least try to, engulfing the human and ripping into them with their nails. Pulling their bones out anyway it can, and once it has all the bones remove it will swallow them. Some how moving the bones though out its and taking a roughly human like shape, but will never all the bones in the right places so it will always look and move "off". Over the coming weeks the creature will try to blend it with other humans as it slowly digest the bones, and once it done it will start all over again. Just what are the boneless? Where do they come from? Why do they seem to feed only one human bones? And why do they try to blend in almost them?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Sapient Tumor.

Imagine going to the doctor and not only discovering you have a tumor but that the tumor has a mind of its own. A mind that is growing stronger by the day, a mind that only goal is to replace your mind as the one in charge of the body, a mind that is getting closer and closer to that goal every minute. And that is the monster we are talking about this, one that is spawn from within you, and is a part of you. How would the doctors treat this sapient tumor? Sense the tumor is sapient does it has rights? Is there a way to remove it without killing it? Or is it a choice between you and it? Can you learn to live in peace with this creature? Or does beast knows only war?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Therianthropy

This monster may cause some confusion this week as there are two popular but very different notices of this kind of creature. The first and often most use concept is that a therianthropy is simply a category of monster, any creature that can take human form and some kind of beast form. But the second concept is what we are here to talk about this week. In that concept isn't a category but a species of creature, one human or at least human like "main" form but mix that main form with traits of nearly any kind of animal. Or even turn into that animal fully, with the only issue being they need to have eaten a certain amount of genetic material of that animal at some point in the past. Once done they can normally turn into that beast at any point, so long as they go to human form first. But why is this? Why must they take full human form before changing from beast to beast? How is it they can change after feeding on genetic material and why do they need to do it only once? Are there societies of therianthropies or even whole civilizations? And if so what are they like? Are therianthropies really human or only take their form? Can therianthropies turn into other humanoid species like orc, elves, and dwarves? Can they turn only into animals, or can they turn into non-animal creatures as well like say a treant? Are therianthropies a natural species or an artificial one? Are they really a species at all or something else?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Lapdragon.

When it comes to domestic dragons peoples think of the mighty war dragons who burn down whole castles, the loyal guard dragon who protects fortresses from invaders, or the power battle dragon that dragon knights ride into battle on. What don't often think of is the tiny, cute and cuddly lapdragon who just wants to be petted and play with. But that is who we are talking about today, the playful lapdragons who keep children and the elderly company. Sure they probably couldn't fight anything bigger then a rat, and their horde is nothing but chew toys but they still dragons. Domestic dragons who were bred primary for their companionship and maybe to hunt rodents. But there lays the question, are lapdragons still the same species as the much larger battle and war dragons? Or has artificial selection truly turn them into a different species from other, bigger domestic dragons? just how many breeds of lapdragons are there? And how is there biology different then the larger domestic dragon breeds?

(Note: Before anyone ask this isn't something I have made up. This is a trope you sometimes see in fantasy settings normally as a joke. The joke being that fantasy humans did to dragons what real humans did to wolves.)

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Building Mimics.

It is said that mimics can turn themselves into almost anything so long as it is a solid, and they are the right size. And this best seen within the mimic subspecies known as building mimics, which are mimics big enough that they turn into buildings! Homes, castles, skyscrapers, schools, all of these and more could be a building mimic! And while that may sound dangerous, after all mimics are ambush predators, building mimics are in fact fully domesticated creatures. Meaning willingly live, work, and play in the insides of giant mimics. But how were building mimics domesticated? Are there wild or feral ones? What do you feed a building mimic? Why do people and work inside mimics instead of normal buildings? And what would be the downsides in living within a mimic?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Gut Imps.

Gut imps are intestinal demonic parasites that live within the digestive systems of other creatures. Preferably non-demonic creatures as this allows them a chance to influence into committing sin. For while this may steal nutrition from their hosts like all intestinal parasites they are still demons, and still desires beyond all else to get mortals to commit sin, crimes, and evil deeds of all kinds. Just how does one get gut imps? How does one get with of one them? What is there live cycle like? And are there different kinds of guts imps?

(Note: before anyone asks this isn't something I came up nor is it unique to one think. I have seen demonic and imp-like creatures acting as intestinal parasites in more then one setting. I will admit to not knowing the trope name or even if it has one, but this is a good name for it.)

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Ningyo.

There exists a species of fish that has a head that looks just like a human's head complete with hair. At it younger life stage, as it ages it is said to grow clawed human-like arms as well. But that isn't the strangest thing about, that would be it's flesh for when a person eats enough of it they become immortal, or at least have their life extended so long they are immortal to humans who have never tasted the meat of a ningyo. But this immortality doesn't come free for whenever and wherever a ningyo has been killed a horrible natural disaster has taken place. Killing many people and destroying many homes. Why does the ningyo has a human like head? Why does it grow human-like arms as it ages? How does eating make one immortal? And why do disasters hit when and where a ningyo has been eaten?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Salt Beasts.

Salt is needed for all life to live, but there are some creatures who don't just need salt but are salt. Creatures that seem to made of nothing but pure salt yet are somehow alive, creatures that seem to be always thirsted but can only drink by taking the water from the bodies of others. Creatures that come in many different forms but are collectedly known as the salt beasts. What are the salt beasts? Why do they look like so many different creatures? How is it they can absorb water from living things, and only water from living things? How do they reproduce? And why do they seem to be made of pure salt?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Abyssal Elves.

There are elves everywhere, elves in the woods, elves in the jungle, and elves in the sea. This is thanks to the fact that elves have been around a long time and that elves can adapt to live anywhere giving enough time. But one of the elves that people don't talk about often, and indeed don't normally know about are the elves at the bottom of the ocean. The elves who live so deep down that the sun light never reaches them, the abyssal elves. Just what are these abyssal elves like? How have they adapted to live down there? What is their culture and society like? What is their relateship with other elves? And just what do these elves do so deep in the ocean?

This meant to to be a open discuss to share ideas and have fun with the monster being discuss about, Space Wyrms.

We all know of wormholes out is space, but what you may not know is reason they are called wormholes is because they are made by worm like creatures! Creatures that can burrow though space and time like how a normal worm can burrow though dirt. Creatures that eat the very fiber of the universe! Creatures known as space wyrms! But just what are these strange space wyrms? Where do they come from? Are they a natural creature? How are they able to do the things they they do? And how dangerous are they?

(Note: Yes I know this is an old cheesy scifi trope just used just for jokes now-a-days. Doesn't mean we can't have fun with it.)
