Some really lame DnD monsters.

You are correct. Montreal is beautiful and there is much to see and do there. However there are also shaven females and Gnoll/Bugbear bouncer /pimp that one must dodge around SUPER SEXE.
 
Oh boy, I know the bugbear of which you speak, he now works at the pub that I find myself currently half employed by. Than man IS a Bugbear, no doubt about it. Super Sexe also has a breakfast buffet (little known fact)
 
I live on Crescent street when I inhabit Montreal. Good drunk and the chicks can at times be a challenge to pick up. Many Bugbears are there. I knew about Super Sexe's roast beef lunch.
 
nice, should you ever come to Brutopia (lower crescent across from mad hatters and next door to hurleys) ask for Mike, I'll get you a drink if I'm there. But I digress, man those monsters are FUNNY.

Whatch out for the ones at the corner of St-Catherine and St-Laurent....they're not all women....

Back on topic, i had that first book, and i remember "battling" that jello cube.
My DM seemed to love using the stupidest monsters ever.
 
try eating it with chopsticks... that's entertaining... (yeah, done that... got laughed at...) I think I'll have to check my TSR Encyclepedia Magica for silverware sets... lol..
 
Yes Ugly John, I have run into said "chicks with dicks" or as the French say" La Femmes avec le graines." Alas I digress.


Gelatinous cubes were easy to fight all you have to do is light them on fire. Green slime was another monster that we had fun burning out of existance.
 
Honestly, I've always thought The Tarrasque took the cake. I mean, it's a giant invincible dinosaur. I'm sure there are a ton of ways for a DM to employ it effectively in the service of storytelling, but aside from juvenile attempts to inject a game with an OMG AWEXXXOME OVERLOAD!!!, I've really only ever seen it used to sling massive helpings of humble pie. They might as well put it in a chef's hat and an apron.

And then there are all the stupid ways that people come up with to actually kill it. Use Move Earth to make a giant pit, fill it with water, and drown the thing. Create thousands of animated vampiric napkins to take advantage of the grapple rules and kill it with constitution drain. There are treatises out there on how to down it with a party below level 6. To me, the Tarrasque, and everything related to it, just reeks of the number-heavy, rules-lawyering, powerplaying aspects of the game, and I really can't fathom why they ever came up with the thing in the first place.
 
A couple of buddies and I took on a Tarrasque once.

Our Wizard died attempting to down it with a hail of ice and lightning bolts.

Our Warrior tried hacking it's shins off and got stomped into paste.

I on the other hand blinded it by shooting it in the eyes with magical arrows.

Then I was slain by an elf.

You just reminded me of something a very immature DM did to a role-playing group I know.

The characters were around 5th-level and found a chest in a dungeon. The chest contained loads of potions, but one of them was made to stand out (glowing blue, lightning crackling from the bottle, etc).

Naturally, this led to one of the party trying to drink the potion. Turns out it was a Potion of Tarrasque Transformation. For the nest 10 rounds, the character took on all the characteristics of the Tarrasque...including its intelligence. 5 rounds later the whole party was dead save for the one that drank the potion.

On the bright side, it did lead to the classical line of "I use the axe as a spatula to scrape the flattened corpse of the cleric off the floor, then neatly fold it and put it in my backpack."
 
Running into a group of 25 Githyanki is also a party killer event thanks to psionics and kick ass swords.

Githyanki females shave.
