Tghy71's Terrible Transfigurations-Monster Creation Thread!

After all of my time on this forum, including the time before I made an account, I have never seen one monster creation thread. I've seen tons of item creation threads and myriads of card creation ones (mostly in feedback & suggestions, which is why I'm posting this here), but never a monster creation thread.
Today, that will change.
Presenting...
TGHY71's Terrible Transfigurations!
Monster making thread extraordinaire.

2x Misguided Heal
2x Bad Medicine
2x Monkey Punch

Now one with new cards

Guardian of Malestroms

Deck Size 21
3 VPs
Default move: Shuffle
Draws 3
Deck
7x Queen Blast
2x Enchanted Mail
3x Charge
2x Shuffle
1x Diadem
1x Dropped Guard
2x Whirlwind
2x Queen Push
1x Queen Big Blast​

• Queen Push: Silver (6). 0 damage, 10 range, Slide Back 2. This attack fires in all cardinal and diagonal directions.
• Queen Big Blast: Emerald- (11). 12 damage, 10 range. This attack fires in all cardinal and diagonal directions.
• Diadem: Amethyst- (14). Part 1: Armor 1, 5+. Keep. Part 2: Summon a Guardian of Mist in a random adjacent square. This card is removed from the game.

Your turn! Let's see what you can come up with.

 

If you look in the game files (on Steam version), you would see that the "queen" already has the name of "Guardian of Maelstroms"

 

I don't have a steam account, decompiler, or any computer knowledge. But I'll change the name.

 

Since nobody seems to be creative, I'll make another one!

Geomedic
14 HP
Deck Size 13
1 VP
Default move: Walk
Draws 1.5
Deck
4x Consecrate Ground
2x Bless
1x Boosted Heal
1x Healing Beacon
1x Paralyzing Bolt
2x Force Bolt
1x Force Blast
1x Telekinesis
1x Earthshaking Stomp​

• Earthshaking Stomp: Gold- (8). 5 damage, 1 range, May self-target. If this attack targets you or an ally, it does 0 damage. If there is a negative terrain attachment in target's square, it becomes a random positive terrain attachment.

Your turn! Let's see what you've got!

 

Doppelganger
15 HP
Deck Size 12
3 Victory Points
Default Move: Run
2x Run
2x Sorcerous Blast
5x Shapeshift
2x Invisibility
1x Slippery
​

• Shapeshift: (Emerald quality, Rare, Magic Arcane, Range 8)

"Shapeshift into target character. Attach a 'Shapeshifted' Trait card to yourself, Duration 3."
(Shapeshift: Replace your character model with that of the target character. Replace your deck, hand, max HP, current HP, default move and current attached cards with those of the target.)

• Shapeshifted: (Emerald quality, Rare, Trait)

"This card may not be replaced by other attached cards. When this card expires or you die when shapeshifted, you are no longer shapeshifted; return to your original form with your previous attributes."



Doppelgangers would be present both on their own and with other more powerful monsters, in groups of up to three. When not-shapeshifted, their main tactic would be to mostly avoid combat while attempting to move into line of sight of either a powerful ally or enemy in order to shapeshift into them. When a Doppelganger shapeshifts into a monster, it adopts that monster's AI as well. As they are rather difficult to dispatch - transforming back into their natural forms if killed when shapeshifted instead of dying outright - they would appear in later levels of the campaign.

 

Here at Aloyso Industries (or AI, as we like to call it), we love making things better. Weapons, robots, mystical crystals that nearly destroyed a whole bunch of stuff, you name it. Recently, we turned our eyes to Sprites. You know them, those little guys made of pure fire, ice, energy, you name it. But here at AI, we figured that if could put weapons and armor on one of them, we could make an incredible warrior! "Super fast, Unstoppable, and Pointy!" was how we sold the plan to the investors. Of course, due to them not having a corporeal body, we just decided to throw a bunch of knives and sharp metal into a Wind Sprite and call it a day. Speaking of which, could you clean up one of our labs for us? It's somehow acquired a large amount of bloodstains and cuts in the walls, and the research team isn't returning our calls to tell them to tidy their mess.

Spoiler

The worst Mother 3 enemy.

I'm still thinking about some enemies, once I get a few more solid ideas I'll post them.

 

It is said that these battle-priests gain their power of unrivalled swiftness and mobility directly from the gods. They are are a fearsome sight to behold in battle - whirling around the battlefield quicker than the human eye, distributing devastating hacks to their foes then vanishing as quickly as they appeared. They move as gracefully and as quickly as Elves, but are blessed with the raw power and confidence of Dwarves; one should take extreme caution when engaging these priests in close combat.

Battle-Priest

2 Victory Points
Draw: 3
Default Move: Quick Run
-
1x Elven Maneuvers
1x Blind Rage

1x Powerful Hack
1x Almighty Hack
5x Extra Hack
2x Inspirational Thinking
1x Pathfinding
2x Blessing of Cantrip
3x Inspiring Armor
2x Lifesaving Block
​

• Holy Combo (Boost, Gold Quality)

Play Effect: 'Trait. Attack this card to yourself, Duration 2.'
Reaction (chance 50%): 'When you play a card with Cantrip, draw a card. Keep.'

• Blessing of Cantrip (Assist, Magic Holy, Gold Quality)

Play Effect (range 6): 'Target an ally. Every card in their hand gains Cantrip. They draw a card.'

 

Shieldbearer

20HP
Deck Size 23
1 Victory Point
Draw: 3
Default Move: Walk
-
2x Team Walk
6x Defender’s Block
4x Cause Fumble
1x Auto Block
2x Bash
1x Lunging Bash
2x Block, Soldier!
2x Cleansing Presence
3x Trained Defender
​

Trained Defender (Boost, Silver Quality)
Play Effect: 'Trait. Attach this card to yourself, Duration 2.'
Reaction 1: 'Whenever an ally within 3 squares, including yourself, rolls for a Block card, add 1 to that die roll. Keep.'

 

Seven levels that each has a powerful demon character based on one of the seven deadly sins. I’m not going to write all the cards these characters have just the interesting ones.

Sultan of Sloth:

Demonic laziness
Magic Unholy.
Attach to target. You cannot play any cards. Duration 2 or until you take damage.
Range 8.

On the same level as the Sultan of Sloth would be some demons that have strong range 1 attacks. The Sultan would cast demonic laziness on the players and then the other demons would run in and hit them.

Empress of Envy:

Demonic Envy
Magic Unholy
Reveal all cards in targets hand. Select one of those cards and put it your hand.
Range 8

Lady of Lust:

Love spell
Magic Unholy
Attach to target. The player who played this card controls this character as if it was their own. Duration 2. Range 8.

Prince of Pride:

Demonic taunt:
Magic Unholy
Attach to all alleys of target. You cannot play a card. You cannot be targeted. Duration 2. Range 6.
“Are you strong enough to fight me on your own?”

Viscount of Wrath

Demonic Rage
Magic Unholy
Attach to all enemies. Frenzy 2. At the beginning of the round take 6 damage for every attack card in your hand. Duration 3.

Illusion Burst
Magic Arcane
Your square becomes illusionary terrain. Burst 1.

The Viscount of Wrath would have lots of teleport spell. He would cast demonic rage and then try to stay away from the players so that they suffered the consequences of the rage. He would also have some long range damage spells.

Grand Duchess of Greed

Illusionary Treasure
Magic Unholy
Target Square becomes Treasure Terrain. (If an enemy moves and it possible to end that move on a Treasure Terrain, that enemy must end the move on a Treasure Terrain.) Duration 3.

This level would have some demons with strong range 1 attacks. They would come running and beat the players who are stuck on the treasure terrain.

General of Gluttony

Eat Creature
Melee Piercing
Kill target. Heal yourself 15. Create a Demonic Burp Card and put it in your hand. Range 1.

Demonic Burp
Projectile Sonic
Cone. Damage 7. Range 5.

This level would have lots of small demons that the General of Gluttony would eat.
