I'm making an entry for the Seventh Sanctum (http://www.seventhsanctum.com/) Deity Generator contest. You use the generator on the site to generate a deity then you trying to draw what it gives, as wacky as it may be. Mine is fairly straight forward but it's "outfit is made from the skin of an ancient monster" and I can't think of a good ancient monster.

So does anyone know of a legendary monster that a goddess of medicine would wear? :confused:

A goddess of medicine? As in a healer? Or like a physician?

Either way, you can't go wrong with dragon hide. I don't know what other type of ancient monster you could make armor from...

Didn't the Golden Fleece of Greek mythology have healing properties?

Unicorns have healing properties in myth (I haven't read the entry in D&D 3.x in quite some time, so not sure there.)

Hydra regenerate, so that might be a cool skin to wear for a goddess of medicine.

But the thing I'm trying to wrap my brain around, is why a Goddess of Medicine would be wearing the skin of an ancient monster. Did she kill the monster herself? While mortal? Was the skin a gift? Exploring these questions and ohers might help to determine from which creature the skin came.

Regenerative armor, huh?

Troll skin armor maybe?

This is why I said "as wacky as it may be". Not only does she wear the skin of an ancient monster but it is a doctor's outfit

This brutal goddess of medicine takes the form of a crone with the head of a shark. She is very tall and has a plump build. Her wide eyes are magenta. Her outfit is made from the skin of an ancient monster, and is that of a doctor.

... and wears the skin of a "Megalosaur" or "Pliesiosaur" or something such as that...
