Our next set of thoroughly vetted candidates...

are not vetted at all, they are coming from you!  Post the Battler you would like to see in this thread, and a tribunal will decide which is the most worthy.  The more awesome the description, the better chances you have!

Awesome battler as always.

Battler submission

Fading haze: a being seemingly made out of thick mists billowing over into a general yet distorted humanoid form. it's features are Indistinct and hazy; save for one glowing golden eye and a protrusion of bloody claws wrapped in mist, the only corporeal aspect of this beast born in nightmare.

This is the manifestation of a cursed soul who died while dreaming and went mad trapped in a limbo between life and death. It seeks out the souls of dreamers in the hopes of tearing them to shreds and replacing them with itself and returning to the world of life in the victims body to regain it's lost purpose.

The 'Puppet' Twins!

A little girl and little boy puppet, the equvilent of two 5 year olds, sitting on the ground, cut strings tangled around them on the floor, the little girl puppet should be holding a little teddy bear or doll and the little boy puppet a ball or train. With creepy smiles.

I believe this is my favorite so far.

My suggestion will likely not be very popular, but I would like to see a swarm of something...a swarm of metal bees, a swarm of diseased rats, a swarm of spiderlings, a swarm of zombified birds, a swarm of scarabs, etc. Just a swarm of something, doesn't matter what.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

Reminds me of The Lich King... :3

Hmmmmm... I wonder what a good next battler would be... How about a rendition of the Grim Reaper?

 

[Oddball]

This would actually be perfect for a dungeon I just designed

and a battler I would like to see, hmmmmmmm....

How about something from greek mythology?

Oh wait! Anubis! that would be cool

 

[skywardsoul]

Great work, as usual.

Here is my humble suggestion:

Mechanical Desperado

A ranger from the Western lands of Talba. After an assault that nearly killed him, he has been repaired with magitek armor in order to help him survive.

He carries dual machina-repeaters, and a grudge that won't vanish until he has delivered justice to the criminals of the land.

Just a bit of input, my inspiration was a bit of magitek cyborg and western hero. The 'machina-repeaters' is just some fancy wording for some fancy guns. As far as the cowboy bit, 'Wroggi X' armor from Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is what I picture, but do what you please.

As amazing as ever, Galefire =)

TBH, I think there's a huge lack of dragon representation; I mean, I'm not a resource connoisseur but I don't recall seeing a lot of dragons around. Maybe something like this for a wind dragon:

A dragon, turquoise in color, is hovering in the air on its massive, outstretched wings. The dragon's scales are not jagged but instead smooth, giving it a bit of a sheen. Its body is muscular but lean; the dragon appears to be exceptionally aerodynamic. Its arms are slender and end in wicked claws suited for grabbing and slicing prey alike. Its head is small but proportional, and instead of a muzzle the dragon is sporting a beak-like mouth. Its eyes glow with a subtle white light. It has two horns that jut out the back of its head, and point directly behind the head to reinforce the aerodynamic feel of the dragon. Its underbelly is lightly armored with thicker, slightly discolored scales, as if to protect itself during its (very frequent) fly-by attacks. The dragon looks like it is ready to attack its potential prey, claws and beak at the ready.

This looks awesome. 'Nuff said.

   @BadMinotaur. Dragons are WAAAAAAY overrated. They're in pretty much every fantasy game out there, for no reason except that they are expected to be in a fantasy game. Their main personality trait is that they are arrogant and everyone knows what a dragon's fighting style is. Also, if Galefire keeps making these, eventually he'll most likely make a dragon without us wasting such a golden opportunity. We should give the spot to something that isn't done often.

   I personally was waiting for the rest of the seven deadly sins battlers because a game I'm making has them as the main villains. But, Galefire is most likely going to make them on his own. So I suggest a dullahan.

   The dullahan is a creature from Irish mythology. Quoted from Wikipedia - "The dullahan is a headless rider, usually on a black horse who carries his or her own head under one arm. The head's eyes are small, black, and constantly dart about like flies, while the mouth is constantly in a hideous grin that touches both sides of the head. The flesh of the head is said to have the color and consistency of moldy cheese. The dullahan uses the spine of a human corpse for a whip, and their wagon is adorned with funereal objects (e.g. candles in skulls to light the way, the spokes of the wheels are made from thigh bones, the wagon's covering made from a worm-chewed pall or dried human skin). When the dullahan stops riding, that is where a person is due to die. The dullahan calls out their name, at which point they immediately perish."

   Alternatively, I suggest the Deadly Sin of Lust. However, instead of the usual "sultry femme fatal" look, Lust is instead depicted as an old, scraggly man, the kind that looks like a rapist or pedo. Thus, Lust actually looks like he embodies the sin of lust instead of causes it.

 

[BadMinotaur]

To counter, there's a reason dragons are in so many fantasy games: people like them. They're an instant, iconic way to introduce a powerful foe, and players are instantly familiar with what to expect when they face a dragon: a challenging enemy with magic and strength.

Dragons are so ludicrously popular that in Magic: the Gathering, every expansion has at *least* one dragon in it. The one time they cheated on this basic requirement (Dragon's Maze had a card that transformed other creatures to dragons) there was a huge player outcry.

So players like dragons. I want my players to have a good time. So I want some dragons =P

Well we are definitely between the Dragon and the Dullahan right now.

Tune in soon to see what comes in ahead!

Anubis! Anubis! Anubis!

I know it might not happen, that can't stop me from hoping though

 

[Luminous Warrior]

@BadMinotaur. You kinda proved my point. If we leave Galefire alone long enough he's bound to make a dragon. But is he ever likely to make a dullahan again? I don't think so.

 

[BadMinotaur]

Nah, I think Dullahan are popular enough that one would come up eventually. There's really only one kind of Dullahan though, and an endless variety of dragon types. So I say bring on the different dragons, so we can have variety in our dragon dens!

(however if Dullahan wins I would totes be fine with that too)

I had another idea for a monster. An ichtyocentaur. They're part man, part horse, part fish, and have lobster claws for horns. They look sort of like a mermaid-centaur.

A mermaid hippocanth with claws for horns? Got to give you points for creativity

 

[Luminous Warrior]

It's a real creature from greek mythology. Which is also what you wanted until you switched to Anubis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthyocentaurs
