If you have a good idea for a monster this shouldn't take much time or effort to work out.įollowing are the areas I generally try to have a handle on and the kinds of questions I try to consider. But a good deal of it is directly relevant to the build process itself. True, a certain amount of this mental image might be considered "fluff".

Some might consider this some sort of "generic before-you-build-monsters advice", but this clear image does have a direct impact on monster creation. You need a clear idea of the critter you are going to build! That might seem obvious to most folk reading this, but with a process-oriented build methodology this is a pretty important thing! What we really need is the idea for the monster. Or good old pen and paper.īut that's not really the point of this post. The average laptop, tablet or smartphone should suffice.
