A good twist?

Maybe they assist the warrior in killing it once, he mutters something about it always coming back, and the party takes an interest in it.

If they don't, the Monster adds them to its grudge list and attacks the, as well.

The interesting part should be in how the thing keeps coming back.

The twist would be how they're supposed to get rid of it permanently.

What kind of monster is it?

Were you in any way inspired by this video, OP?

The party kills it, the monster comes back, but it's now coming after whichever party member got the killing blow rather than the guy.

The monster is actually Alpharius

At this point it's just a force of will that's brought to life through some sort of pact with reality that the man made just before he died, so he would have another chance to tear the fucker down.

That's awesome, but this is the first time I've seen that video.

I was thinking of making the monster focus solely on the warrior and only attack the party if they're directly in the way. Is that bad?

>Is that bad?
Not at all, was just throwing an idea out there.

How about the idea that the monster "evolves" every time it dies depending on how it got killed? Like how one of the comments suggested here >>44046442

What would the "mutations" be though? If it got decapitated, it would probably grow some thicker skin or even armor around its neck next time.

The monster is a manifestation of the killers strength of will./strength

Whatever creature kills it is haunted by it. It starts invisible to all but its target, but as it is killed, the killers belief that it exists makes it stronger and stronger. Each time growing in power slowly, until it Creates despair of the inevitable death of the killer.

My idea:
>party saves the warrior. Kills monster, warrior thanks party, feeling freed from the bonds. He rewards them, then leaves never to be seen again.
>that night, the one who landed the killing blow is attacked by a very weak monster, only he is awoken and when his allies awake. It is already gone.
>investigate the monster haunting yhe warrior, never knowing its still haunting.
>eventually grows to be visible, party kills it
>because the party is close. Each ally who gets haunted stops reseting the monster, eventually grows more powerful than each individual.

This is brilliant! Much better than the thing that I had in mind. Thanks!
