Hey guys.
So...
I've been building my own hypothetical fantasy project for a long time now,and doing tons and tons of research on myhtical creatures. Just look at the Bestiary wish list thread. However, I have a major tendency to include everything I possibly can on a subject, and a psychological inability to exclude things. To me, that's fine with mythicial/folkloric/etc. monsters, but with modern pop culture monsters I have a hard time figuring out where to begin. So, that being said, I figured you guys could help me out. What modern pop culture monsters (or clones of pop culture monsters) should be included? I'd like at least 300-400 for it, so what would you request? Comic book, Movie, TV, Cartoon, Anime, Literature, or Video Game monsters welcome. A few things though:
1.It's a fantasy setting, so when it comes to Sci-Fi monsters, try to keep it biological, or with robots, please select ones that could easily be made as constructs.
2.I'm not looking for humanoid undead here. I have enough of them, unless they are really creative. Same goes for giant animals. No Freddy Krueger or Jaws, they aren't of that much use to me.
3.I'm an expert on D&D monsters, Lovecraft monsters, and Kaiju (Including Ultraman monsters.) I have pretty good ideas for those already. I'll probably post lists of those myself.
4.No strictly humorous or cutesy monsters. They aren't very useful to me. So, for instance, most Mario monsters and about 2/3 of the Pokemon aren't helpful.
So, with that being said, you guys mind helping me out? :) I'd appreciate it, and I figured this would be a good place to look for some.
I only know about Mary Shaw from Dead Silence, but hat would be a construct or humanoid undead :-p
Don't forget the blob and the clown It! (but i'm sure you didn't)
Moonstone: A Hard Days Knight has some cool monsters, you should check them out.

Just don't say Candle Jack, ooops, aw poop.
Slenderman is the obvious first pick. You can mine creepypasta for ideas. The Rake's another one.

On the pop culture Movie/TV side:
Kolchak the Night Stalker (original series) had some good monsters
- Spanish Moss Murders (Père Malfait)
- The Energy Eater (Native American Bear Spirit - invisible, caused earthquakes)
The X-files could also be a source (too many creatures to list)
The Thing from Another World/The Thing (Carpenter)
The Fly (original w/ Vincent Price)
Night of the Demon (Gigantic Hunter Demon, excellent movie)
I know you said no giant animals - but I consider Them! or The Deadly Mantis on a different level than Jaws
Pod People from Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
Aliens from the original War of the Worlds
Plants from Day of the Triffids
Metalunans from This Island Earth (Humanoid Aliens with pincer hands and large exposed brains)
The Alien hunter from Without Warning. The alien looked cool in of itself, but since he's a humanoid you may not like him. He did throw these organic lamprey like discs that would attach onto his targets and kill them.
Is that kind of what you are looking for Wannabe?

Also a few more
Brain from Planet Arous (flying brain)
Donovan's Brain (brain in a tank/jar)
Octoman (squid humanoid monster, shown briefly at the end of the original Fright Night)
Robot Monster - Gorilla with astronaut helmet
The Crawling Eye - gigantic cthuloid flying eyes with tentacles attack a ski resort
And yes, I own all of these movies - even the Brain from Planet Arous
I am traveling right now, but will try to think of some more when I have more time. Dotting for now
The beating-heart rat creature from a 1993 horror movie i forgot the name from... ill search later. Rutger hauet plays in it.
Treecat A small 6 limbed arboreal sapient predator with telepathic and empathic abilities and hands.
Hexapuma The aboves non sapient relative
Daskdraudig from Elizabeth Moon's Paksenarion Trilogy and follow on series. It is an evil earth elemental in the shape of a huge (tree tall) snake. It hides within a stone outcropping, or if commanded within a stone wall. It has an aura of evil that can be focused upon an individual to cause depression etc.
Kyree Telepathic sapient wolf like creatures.
Jhereg Small sapient poisonous flying lizards.
Wyrsa A fast large lizard like pack hunting creature that eats magic.
Cold Drake A dragon like creature that generates cold, somewhat like a non flying white dragon.
The movie was called Split Second
While it may seem strange, minecraft has really good creepy monsters.
- Endermen, alien, strange, tall humanoidesque outsiders that can dimension door and become furious if you look at their face.
Ghasts - huge bulbous undead/outsiders that float around weeping constantly.
Creepers - Green plantlike creatures that blow up in your face. Potentially hivemind controlled plant creatures that procreate thrpugh spores in the victims?
Resident evil is also full of creepy crawlers! And of course The Thing!
Brilliant suggestions everyone! Thanks a lot and keep them coming! Btw, once I complete the list, I'll post it in the Bestiary 5 wish list thread, so this should serve a double purpose.

Yes. This is perfect. And humanoids are great. It was specifically humanoid undead that I have enough of. :)

Looking at a few of my DVD bookcases I did come up with a few others:
Some real oddballs here so I hope these help.
Some mutated astronauts:
The Quatermass Xperiment (the Movie)(spore taking over an astronauts body)
The Incredible Melting Man (stupid movie, but the Melting Man was great - radioactive touch and melting flesh)
More Quatermass:
Quatermass and the Pit/ AKA Five Million Years to Earth - Interesting movie. So an alien ship is uncovered beneath London - something that crashed millions of years prior. The aliens are long dead but the ship starts exerting an evil influence around the area and affects people investigating it.
The cool thing about this movie is that during their investigation they find that prior to the ships discovery underground during the dig the city area above had been plagued with all sorts of weirdness - ghost sightings, rumors of being haunted and generally abandoned. All caused by the ship and the energy it had emanated for millions of years.
Could serve as an artifact or construct/totem-kind of creature or hazard that creates a very hostile environment.
The Monolith Monsters - Bizarre little gem - inorganic creatures - land in a US desert as meteorites. When exposed to water they grown and multiply, sort of like living glaciers - destroying things as they grow. Could be changed to a hazard that grows when exposed to magic? Immobile (mostly) evil earth elementals?
Blood Beach - plant monster lives under a pier and attacks people walking on the beach - pulls them under the sand and devours them.
It's Alive - Mutant monster baby with claws - kills dr and nurses after it's born.
Wow, my head is starting to hurt.

Don't forget about Bloody Mary, the Candyman and the creatures from Mirrors.
Are you also gonna post your full list of creatures in this topic? Myth + Movie in this topic?

I copy-pasted it so ignore all the texts behind the creatures.
For TV, the anthology series Outer Limits (original and reboot), Twilight Zone (original + multiple reboots), Tales from the Darkside, Monsters, and Tales from the Crypt are all worth taking a look at. All of the above regularly had monsters, especially Outer Limits and Monsters.
There is a youtube channel up with all the Monsters episodes...I haven't seen it on air in ages and no one has bothered with a DVD release :(
Also quite a few wikis exist for different fictional settings. For classics, give Lovecraft, Stephen King, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert E. Howard, etc a look
Final Fantasy has a LOT of monsters by now, even if you stay away from cactuars, moogles, chocobos and so on. A number of them could be useful.
There is a youtube channel up with all the Monsters episodes...I haven't seen it on air in ages and no one has bothered with a DVD release :(Monsters TV series on DVD
huh...I have looked off and on, but obviously not recently (that set was released in February 2014)
The parasite Queen from The Faculty was pretty cool
Also check out the monster in Splinter (2008)
4.No strictly humorous or cutesy monsters. They aren't very useful to me. So, for instance, most Mario monsters and about 2/3 of the Pokemon aren't helpful.
No offense, but I take ignorant statements like that as a challenge. ^_^
I mean, have you seen Bowser? Dude could damn near hang with Greater Demons. His normal size is usually Large to Huge. He casts spells at maximum level and then some, and breaths a good 30' line or cone of fire (and occasionally throws Light Hammers).
For the rest, just attribute about 50% of their cuteness to the art style.
Koopa Troopa/Hammer Bro.: A Medium-size (more like a Dwarf than a Human in size) creature with a natural armor save equal to a Breastplate. Give them Light Hammers or Boomerangs to represent a Hammer/Boomerang Bro. A Sledge Bro has the Giant Template and can do a Stomp special attack that staggers anyone within a 10-foot radius. Give them Class Levels (and maybe the Advanced Template) and you get the Koopalings.
Piranha Plant: Medium Plant with a 1D8 Bite attack (they do have big mouths). Some have the ability to spit a 1D6 Fire Ranged Touch attack.
Chain Chomp: Small Construct. 1d6 Slam or 1d8 Bite.
Shy Guys: Dark Creepers that don't smell as bad. Snifits are advanced Dark Creepers that fire a Pistol shot every 1d4 rounds.
Bomb-Ombs: Tiny to Small Constructs that explode.
Bulbasaur/Ivysaur/Venasaur
Medium Animal/Plant. CR should be around 7-10. Slow speed (20 feet), but high HD (d10 or d12). Natural AC of about 2-3
Melee Attacks include Vine Whip (2d6 plus Grab with a 15-foot Reach), and a basic Slam to represent Tackle/Take Down.
It can also release a powder in a 30-foot cone in front of it or a 15-foot radius all around (contact poison that puts opponents to sleep), and Solarbeam that inflicts HDd6 as either a Line or a Ranged Touch attack.
To represent Ivysar and Bulbasaur, apply the Young Template and reduce their sizes to Small and Tiny respectively. Their spore attacks are reduced in range by half rounding up Replace Bulbasaur's Solar Beam with a seeding attack that hits a 5-foot radius. An Advanced Iysaur or Venasaur may also be given this attack.
Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard
To keep things fair Charziard is around the same CR. It has a normal speed, and a Fly speed of 60 feet. It's Constitution is usually lower as well.
Melee is a Claw attack (with Power Attack feat), a Bite that inflicts extra Fire damage.
Ranged is a Ranged Touch attack (Fire, of course), and an HDd6 30' Line of Fire.
Charmeleon and Charmander have the same step-down templates as the Bulbasaur line, though naturally they lose the Fly speed entirely.
Squirtle/Wartortle/Blastoise
You should know the drill by now. Slow speed again, but really high CON and a natural Armor Save of at least 4.
Melee is a claw attack that only does 1d6, a headbutt that staggers whatever it hits, and a special spinning attack that basically gives it Freedom of Movement, and also inflicts 1D8 damage to anything that happens to be grappling/entangling it
Ranged is basically Hydraulic Torrent that inflicts HDd6 (nonlethal) in addition to the Bull Rush effect.
Wartortle has the water attacks downgraded to Hydraulic Push, while Squirtle loses it entirely, and gains an entangling bubble jet that does HDd3 damage.
Chain Chomp: Small Construct. 1d6 Slam or 1d8 Bite.
Basically an animated Bear Trap.
No Xenomorphs from the Alien movies?
Predator
Cenobites a la Hellraiser HOWEVER, there's the plane of agony guys that I think were inspired by cenobites. Still, worth looking into some that the movie came up with, and searching around for some of the art Clive had to inspire him. Very different from book & movies.
C(k?)rites from Critters. Awesome swarm ability. Great one liners.
Man, sometimes I wish palladium would update their Nightbreed game to a lvl of Heroes Unlimited. Might check that one out for some inspiration.
Godzilla, cause he's more bad-ass than the Tarreque.
Bud the C.H.U.D., watch it when you are young and you will keep a respectful distance away from manhole covers.

Or maybe the Excremental from Dogma.
No, I'm pretty sure I don't ;->
