What is the silliest monster you put in your games that's still a genuine threat to your party?

Master Splinter and the TMNT(lizardmen and a wererat) killed one of my players in a early sewers quest

Just one lizardman shaman. Thing is I always make him summon dinosaurs and for some reason this scares my party.

The Grither

Speckled Jim, the 1000 ft. tall Pidgeon. He was once a normal bird, but fell into a vat of radioactive glitter. Angry and confused, he proceeded to tear through the city of Metroville, doing such things as: pecking at glass skyscrapers, take a giant poop on the statue of the city founder, and attempt to make a nest on roof of Durkle's Donuts.

Pic related. None of my players have seen the movie or its remake. And likely will not. I am mostly basing it off the book version.

So far its fun. Game is Call of Cthulhu.

Like that, except with a torso or arms, so just the unicorn head and human legs. The had no digestive system and terrible balance, which by the crazy logic of the setting meant that they had to eat a hundred times their weight in human flesh a day to survive and had the speed and strength to accomplish that. They were really fucking terrifying. The moment a party member was knocked unconscious was when the entire hoard converged upon his unconscious body in a feeding frenzy, giving us no opportunity to save anyone that was downed, unlike every previous combat where the greatest threat of death to us were ourselves.

Giant toads. The party was ambushed in a swamp by four of them, nearly got eaten alive. It also didn't help that the mud was actually 40% tar and they used fire spells, causing the mud to light on fire and spread, cutting off their exit and requiring a dashing leap through the flames.

I also ran a session with attractive mermen leading the party to die by horrible fish women.

The DM hinted that they are scattered across the multiverse, possibly originating from a home plane just chock full of them, close to bursting. It was my only game with him, but his other players confirmed that these abominations premiere in all his campaigns. The ones we ran into this time were an organized crime ring and a smuggling operation, wore fedoras, and introduced themselves with "whiney".

We had these magical beasts called Rabbers.
Rabbers were, basically, humans with rabbit heads like pic related.
Fuckers were vicious, they were sentient but they couldn't talk and were absolutely insane.
They swarmed the party and atacked with axes, they ran like motherfuckers and could jump houses.
They ended up killing 3 out of 5 characters, and the other two only survived because they stole two horses and ran the fuck away. The characters ended up with PTSD and couldn't even come close to rabbits without having panic atacks.

They were sent to save a princess. It was a trap. The whole room - complete with well-stocked wardrobe (dresses, gowns, lingerie, you name it) - was an army of animated objects, cloakers, mimics, and the like, and the room itself was a genius locus.

A Halfling Ranger/Paladin with a Giant Rabbit animal companion that also counted as his paladin mount in 3.5e.

He rode around on it with a lance and plate armour, he frequently served as a friend/kinda rival to the party. Until the time they uncovered his background story where the rabbit was actually the old king who went missing years ago, and the Halfling was actually a servant of the new king who was going around brutally murdering anyone who might oppose him.

All those Paladin levels ended up being Blackguard ones.

During the first DnD campaign I ever DM'ed, the party had a random encounter with a Cryo-Hydra in a swamp. They beat it up pretty quickly, but it managed to escape into a bog a swim away before they could finish it.

For the rest of the campaign, the party kept joking that the Cryo-Hydra would come back and attack them when they least suspected it, seeking revenge.

We reach the last session. The BBEG had some kind of ultimate weapon he would unleash. I was hyping it up for quite some time, having entire villages laid to waste, but the party had no idea what it was.

Finally, in the last battle, the BBEG unleashed his ultimate weapon...

MECHA CRYO-HYDRA

Pic related. An imbecile of a child psychologist, who uses a sock puppet of Sigmund Freud to communicate with abused children, rolled a crit to realize they were all out of place, had zero jurisdiction, and might be conducting a private investigation of their own. The party just barely got away, and are now plotting an attempt to beat the information out of Mr. Eryle in his office.

I needed random artefacts to round out an Inquisitorial vault of the Ordo Xenos, and wanted some kind of alien biosample in a stasis field.
I chose pic related off the top of my head; I was really flying by the seat of my pants.
One player, who has a near-suicidal fondness for poking things to see what happens most uncharacteristic of an Astartes of the Carcharodon Astra, decided to disable the stasis field, and it started bobbing.
Then he tried to touch it and it leapt on him, rolling a 10 and a 9 on 2d10+8 Warp Weapon and giving him 1d5 Corruption per round until he could get it off by screaming and thwacking it off his gauntlet with a chainsword.

Basically used an Umber Hulk from DnD 5e as a template for stats and slapped on some of the rust monster's traits on it such as being able to smell ferrous metals within a set range, non-magical metal weapons rusting on contact with its body, etc.. Also added an acidic bite attack that does piercing damage and rusts on hit instead of standard normal bite of rust monster.

I have a tradition of making the first encounter of a game starting at level 1 a gang of housecats. They have claimed a few characters over the years. It serves both as a way to break the ice for new players, but also as a humble reminder that sometimes, you get fucked for no good reason.

Another time, a random NPC (a baker, if I remember correctly) one of my players murdered early on kept coming back, increasingly reanimated into stronger and stronger bodies. He wound up replacing the BBEG I had planned on.
By the end of the campaign, he had become an undead cyborg vampire, with touches of fey, demonic, devilish, and angelic origin, had become a petty god of sea birds, had become an efreet, and then became a psionic and literally willed himself back to life one last time, whatever that makes him. He straight-up murdered the previous BBEG after his final big speech in the last fight, and went down for good that time.
After the first fight, he got his own theme, and I've sometimes screwed with those players since by either playing something similar, or just "accidentally" revealing it on the playlist for the night.
He did come back one more time in a game that specifically had a tournament full of weirdos, but that doesn't really count.
>>
>>55411650
He wasn't, he was writing.

Sometimes, when you are writing, you get so involved in the writing and what is going on, you don't stop to think what other people will think. You are writing the piece and what happens is you follow the thought process involved in the writing and just put it on the paper, because that's what would happen in the story with the elements you're already working with. There isn't any consideration for the readership or the editors or the standards of society, there's just the story and how things work within it weather anyone outside of the story cares or not. And when you're finished you look at it and realize, "holy crap, people will shit their pants over this". Then you have the choice to let it stay as is, or rewrite it and hope top whatever powers that may be that you can write somethign half as coherent and suitable for the story to appease those pesky readers and editors.

King chose to let his editor make the decision, and I don't blame him one bit.

>Other players stop what they're doing all at once
>All eyes are on the dwarf
>"I head straight for it."
>He finds an enormous mound of dark mud on the bottom, something is sleeping under it
>Other players are shitting bricks now
>"Don't do it man!"
>,,,
>"I poke it with my sword."

Session ended with the players fleeing the lake, Catoblepas in hot pursuit, death-raying them every few turns. I used pic related for its illustration because the book illustration is stupid. It nearly instant killed half the party and they never, ever went back to that lake. Luckily they did complete the quest though.

Overall I'm very pleased with my creepy use of a very silly stupid monster. I basically implied it's a prehistoric beast that's been sleeping there for eons. Not even Lord Strahd knew it was there, because he never bothered to look.
