So! Just to prod discussion again, what kind of monsters would people like to see? Yours, other people's etc. What do you think would be super entertaining to see them do? Do you want Kaiju fights? Do you want hordes of broodlings?

Giant death werewolves. I am sure others will have more complex ideas.

Monsters...Personally I want speedy sneaky dragon- dead-collectors. Probably more towards a horde of them since if we want a Kaiju that's our job, to be the giant mighty ash-dragon-gaurdian of the mountain...
If I had to describe the sneaky dragon collectors...
Spirit of Death
Spirit of Greater Lizard
Spirit of Ash
Skirmisher
Performer
Wanderer

Leseee how would I aspect one of those.
Ah!
Aspect of Wolf
Aspect of Humanity
Beastform
Giantform
Spirit of Death
Huh. That's not all that different from Primate Murder now that I think about it.
Yeah, that could work, though they'd have to be actual Monsters to have spheres which limits the numbers. I think, need to clarify that. You could totally make a bloodline of them by spawning with a lizard and giving them Ashform. They'd be smart animals though and not sapient.
So much fun to be had with these. We will try. We will try.
Also Rashelki would be adorable.

Yeah I totally thought of you when I saw that combo. Throw in some aspects that boost Toil actions and you'd be pretty beefy when it came to growth.

Please death is paltry before the glory of Rashelki.
With strange eons even death can die.
And I will be the one to kill it.

That Rashelki sounds awesome.
What about Guardian Turtles, I wonder?

Honestly, at this point I pretty much just want any monster. It could just be an overgrown butterfly that feeds entirely on CO2 in the atmosphere and I would vote for it.
However, if we were to make one based entirely on my delusions, I have a good idea of what I would aim for. Namely TONS OF TRAITS! Aty least ten of them, prefereably 15+, randomly generated! Who cares about carefully crafted creatures when you could instead just pour more power into your menacing monstrous megabeasts!

Classic hugger.

Suggestion for this:
1. Produce a brood.
-Pick a base animal of some sort and do it. That gives it, at least, 3 traits. The one it has to start with, one from you, one random.
2. Stockpile Ambrosia.
-A Great Beast (w/ 1 Ambrosia) has 2 traits from the parent and 2 random added to it. Do this with a brood and you have, at least 7 traits.
3. Add 4 Ambrosia (each Ambrosia adds 1 and 1).
You'll have a brood (3 traits) + baby (2 traits) + 4 Ambrosia (8 traits) = 13 traits. And that's if nothing weird happens, which is possible, given the magnitude.
You have your mission and you know how to get there. Godspeed, my starcrossed Hugger.
E:
So we're clear, this costs:
1 turn (to produce a baseline brood)
? turns (to get 16 DE)
16 DE (to convert to Ambrosia)
5 sustenance (to have the baby)

Yeeeep. It'd also be hilariously stronk because of how monster stat mechanics work, most of their scary stuff is found in their traits.
To get 10 traits you'd need to spend 4 ambrosia on one baby, and have a total of 10 traits to pull from when considering the sum of your selected traits and possible traits. I think it just costs 5 sustenance too.
15 traits is 6 ambrosia, cause they also get the main trait of whatever you boinked.
So 36 DE for a Big Scary Beast.
E: Or do it Panda's way, that's another really good way to do it.

Ah, but it just feels backwards that way. The magical lizards are supposed to descend from the giant dragon, not the other way around! Plus we spend two turns doing that, that's longer than we can expect SV to stay focused on anything (and don't try to deny it).
... Say Ari'see the 'Pure'. Didn't you say once that you had a brood running around by now? Mind of we borrow it some day? I don't mind piggybacking off other people's work if it means geting my desires through.
Together we can create a genuine beast to rival, nay, surpass the likes of Fenris and Typhon!

Just so we're clear, this is probably how it'd look:
Aspect of [Base Brood animal]
[Trait from parent: Spirit of Death, Ashform, Element Fire, or Enhancement: Inspire]
[Random Trait]
+4 Ambrosia
[Every other trait from the parent] Since it's asking for 5 traits from the parent (you only have 4, 1 is already in the baby, you're 2 short), it might upgrade 2 traits to T2 versions, or it'll add 2 more random traits.
[Add 5 to 7 random traits]
Also, one of those traits will be Spirit of Death. And guess what?
Here you go, here's Rashelki 2.0

For immediate monster ideas, we can totally start off with Fire Salamanders.
Just find some local lizards and put Fire and Death into them, and let them populate the mountain.

mfw amphibians are equated with reptiles

The least we can do is make reptile-amphibian combinations so people in-universe have an actual excuse to make that mistake.
