In this thread, post what you think would be freaky to have in a campaign. ( Monster, NPCs, Pcs Ect)
One is a 30HD Colassial Pixie
Another would be to have a character that is blind but can see crows. Not that this is directed at anyone AWED.

This is, of course, an alternative to the small tiny pixies. *grin*
How 'bout the character who refuses any magic items and treasure except knives. That scared me a lot.

Ah but you forgot that oh so cute giggle in between stomps. To prove that the frolicing is fun.

You see a man wearing all black, but none of his clothes match.
Or the one who instantly grabs the obviously cursed sword in the Demons liar and is then surprised when he turns into a pile of ashes with cartoony eyeballs resting on top.
i would hope that you aren't planning to use any freaky ideas in your own campaign. I have a feeling that this might make your dm frustrated.
A wizard who won't cast any spell other than magic missile.
In a one-shot that I played in a while back one of the players started out with a character that they fully expected to die so they prepared a back-up character. It was a dehydrated pixie (like a sea monkey) that someone just had to drop into water once her old character died and in a little while it would be a full grown pixie. Keep in mind that the entire camapign was meant as a joke.
No I mean a wizard, about level ten who won't cast any other spell other than magic missile.
A wisard/ Psion/ archivist who only attacks with his weapon forgeting that he has spells then finds out that his spells are really pointless to have
Carry an Umber Hulk and a Purple Worm (both polymorphed into pebbles) in your belt pouch. If things get rough, toss them on the floor and have the party mage dispell the polymorph. This usually generates about the same energy level as tossing a live squirrel into a room full of retrievers. The Umber Hulk will try to eat the Worm, while the Worm will lash out at everyone. Makes for great escape cover.
Variant of same tactic, carry around about a dozen pebbled Rust Monsters. Toss the pebbles behind the enemy, then dispell. The enemy is usually laughing too hard at the "missed" spell to notice what's going on till they're half naked.
I found these both freaky, the first when our party pulled it on the bad guys, the second time when a group of NPC's pulled in on US!
Another is when the Bard in your group inroduces his self as " he is in your dreams."
Give each player in your campaign a secret mission to assassinate another player's character using their character, without being detected. Tell them that if they succeed, their character gains a free level. If they are detected or reveal the plot, their character loses a level.
Pulling that off would be a DM masterstroke.
A troll shaman that loves to cast fire shield
Conjoined sea hag twins
A giant metal horses rear complete with legs. (Some wise ass contruct crafter was told to make an iron golem in the Counts image). guess where the poisonous breath weapon comes out!
A zombie that eats itself and then regenerates new body parts every midnight.
A squirrel that explodes in a 10d6 fireball. No reason why or how, and it never happens again.
A druid with an invisible horse animal companion. (It's really just a magic flying saddle and he hasn't figured it out)
A town crazy that only speaks in eight word sentances and one of the nouns is always the opposite of what he intends to say. Oh, and he sees the future.
A larval stage monster that infects a host like a disease and grows inside the eyeball, making the victim blind and eventually blowing out the eyeball to escape.
A medusa that makes her lair in a special mirrored labyrinth. Special because the mirrors are magic and her image in the mirror conveys her gaze attack, and the angles of the mirrors change to cast her image as frequently as possible no matter where she goes in her home.
A creature that is born old and crippled but gets younger and stronger as time passes. Once it gets to be the equivalent to a young adolescent stage it's life cycle is completed. It dies and three old crone monsters crawl from its carcass.
Lye golem

Heh I thought that game was called "Paranoia" :) fun game
well, for a decade we have joked and laughed about a trollblooded, vampiric, demonic, were gecko of death (from geckoslavakia no less); but now in this game; you can really build one. That is pretty freaky, fear the gecko.
A wisard/ Psion/ archivist who only attacks with his weapon forgeting that he has spells then finds out that his spells are really pointless to have
And when he uses his spells he only uses the wimpy ones. mostly magic missle. When he levels up he refuses to take some serious kick ass spells like fireball or whatever.

Unless said demonic gecko is trying to save you money on your insurence.

This sounds familiar, and the campaign wasn't even a joke!
"What do you do?" "I cast magic missile." "Um, dude, you know you can cast other spells, right?" "Oh, OK, I'll cast acid splash."
A wisard/ Psion/ archivist who only attacks with his weapon forgeting that he has spells then finds out that his spells are really pointless to have
No, this character forgetting he has spells from sources other than wizard and then casting nothing but magic missile and acid splash!!!
Something that I am seriously considering placing on a small island in my campaign world: Mango-sized fruit that explodes in a 2d6 fireball when something impacts it.

That is not freaky. that is cool.
These ideas are brilliant:)

You know.... I have to try this now. Thank you, f2k!
Create a specialist wizard with barred school: Evocation. ;)
Have a big island (or continent) that has never had humans on it. Like only yakfolk or rackshasa societies.
A spell (like heat metal) that goes awry and turns all iron (for a few miles radius) into softer metal so, for a time, metal weapons and armor are rendered useless. (Imagine this happenning in a war scenario)
This always creeps players out... The PCs arrive in a town (one that they've already visited) that is completely deserted. All the inhabitants and wildlife are gone. This could remain unexplained until the players reach higher levels.
An intelligent sword with an ego that manifests itself as an NPC only visible to the weilder. This NPC could be a longtime friend of a PC without him even knowing that he is the only on seeing him (telling him to do things / being always around when he needs him).

There is a character that is a freak in one of my games; he was a guy that made a deal with his dark god and got changed into a female and she is always pregnant and gives birth to some kind of monster every few months; she is kinda marsupial; she has the demon; aberation, and darkness templates and calls herself the Mother of Darkness, LN but i cannot describe some of the things that crawl ahem and call her mother before they are weaned and go off to do the dark gods bidding; so it is kinda like a pet class whereas all of her pet childen have the dark template. This is only the start of how this guy is a freak; he spend quite a few levels eating demons in the abyss and those on the prime material as they turned to goo; he would even slurp the goo; so he is infested with demon maggots in his stomach and gained the ability to make a acid attack breath weapon from stomach acid loaded with demon maggots; the maggots then crawl back to him after damageing or eating a foe and crawl up his/her body and through mouth or nose back home to the belly. I could keep going; this is only the surface of this guy's pc; he is playing the biggest freak in my game ever. But, is a fun character and has loads of storyline threads and enemies and followers; the character is about 17th level atm.

WOW!!!!! that is freaky, but funny too
Speaking of Harpies:
How about a group of them in a traveling road show that to Barbershop Quartet singing? Seems to me they'd be pretty irresistable to most people.

A froghemoth storms past the party in the wilderness, ignoring them totally. If the party is curious enough to follow,...they come to a large tidepool. A female froghemoth has laid hundreds of thousands of eggs, 100 yards by 50 yards of eggs. There's 8 male froghemoths fertilizing the eggs, oblivious to the party...

I had a friend who did that...I hated him...all he did was buff himself so he could fight in melee...

Doing it. Focused Transmuter/Fighter/Eldritch Knight with banned schools of Evocation, Enchantment, and Necromancy. I may not be able to cast Fireball, but I have buff, debuff, and battlefield control spells out the wazoo -- Slow + Evard's Black Tentacles lets me stand back and smack the poor buggers with my Glaive; Mirror Image, Invisibility, Freedom of Movement and Fly give me all sorts of options if I decide I want to not get hurt... and let's not forget the versatility in relegating my bonus spell slots to Rary's Mnemonic Enhancer, or Telekinesis.
Granted, I'm coming into a group that has a Dragon Disciple and an Arcane Trickster who are both focused on the "blowing shit up" aspect of arcane magic, so it's not like the group is actually losing anything.
How bout...a cleric that actually uses a mace? ;)
~disgruntled look~ All of my clerics use a mace. ~snorts in distain~ They alos heal and buff the team too! ~grumbles something about "Silly Were-poodle."~
A priest of Pelor who hangs out with the Good Lich of the West. What's a poor Pelorite to do?
A cleric of Pelor who is LN who sees someone dead and Chants "Bloodfeast!!!"

That was you having a low wisdom score and not using complete sentences in real life.

I forgot, i don't have the character with me, it may have been CG,

In one of my homebrew worlds that was focused on an archipeligo, I made an entire nation of skelitons. These folk were undead in that they had undead traits, but could level in PC classes and were for all other intents and purposes just like elves, humans or other intelligent races. The animals on their island were likewise skelital and the arcitecture they used was much different than found among the "normal" races. They were expert sailors and chose piracy as often as they chose merchantilism and were fearsome to fight as well as negotiate with, when they even deemed you worthy of their conversation. They considered all of the "fleshed" races inferior, fit only to plunder or use to their advantage in business dealings.
Given their immortality, lack of a need to sleep, and inability to become fatigued when rowing and sailing, they were a fearsome and respected race. I forget what they called themselves, but their society was known as the "Empire of Bone".
In a new campaign that I am running, I was feeling weird one night and just threw out a spider about the size of a turantula that was orange and had skin flaps between its legs so it could glide and instead of poison bites it had a disease bite.
