Now, I'm not exactly the sanest person around, which explains why I came up with the idea of creating 24 monsters from scratch in the space of one day. I never had enough time to actually do that, until now. So, I'm going to come up with, stat out, and post a total of twenty-four monsters in the space of twenty-four hours. Will I succeed? Only time will tell.

A three foot tall, grayish beast scuttles across the sand on six, evenly spaced legs. It has a bird-like head and two stunted wings.

Flightless creatures native to badlands, skitrins are small, venomous predators. Normally shy and retiring, skitrins only attack larger prey when in groups, which form and disperse seemingly randomly.
Skitrins do not speak, but understand Draconic.

Combat
Skitrins prefer to rush foes and overwhelm them with sheer numbers, biting madly until the target succumbs.

Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 12, initial and secondary damage 1d3 Dex. The saving throw DC is Constitution based.

A lanky, greenish humanoid swaggers towards you. Its fanged mouth opens in a grin as it hefts a vicious-looking guisarme.

Distant relatives of goblins, bilnons are nasty, dungeon-dwelling creatures. They live in perpetually fluctuating clans, each vying to become chieftain, often stopping at nothing to reach that goal.
Bilnons tend to worship various demon lords, but will pay lip service to almost any chaotic evil deity should it be in their best interest.
Bilnons speak Goblin and Common.

Combat
Bilnons cooperate only in combat, using cunning tactics to cut down their foes. Most bilnons use guisarmes, although various other polearms are often seen in their ranks.

What appears to be a wolf at first glance proves to be something different, as its body is too long, and the jet-black eyes betray a sinister intelligence.

Grots are sinuous, dog-like creatures with a taste for human blood. Solitary predators, they lurk around isolated settlements, feeding off of the populace. Many mysterious disappearances in the cold north can be attributed to the work of a grot.
Grots measure about seven feet long and weigh over 300 pounds.

Combat
Grots prefer to attack from ambush, using their ragged fangs to bleed their opponents dry.

Wounding (Ex): On a successful bite attack, the jagged teeth of a grot deal 1 point of Constitution damage, due to blood loss.

He looka like a man.

Flatmen are two-dimensional inhabitants of the Outlands. They do regular people stuff, only in two dimensions.

Combat
Flatmen slash people with their bodies, which are pretty damn sharp.

2-D (Ex): The two-dimensional bodies of Flatmen give them a 50% chance to avoid any attack that requires an attack roll, a +4 dodge bonus to AC, a +15 bonus to Hide checks, and the ability to move through any crack long enough for their body to fit through. However, they are incapable of using three-dimensional objects.

Sewer beasts are, as the name suggests, beasts that live in sewers. They are omnivores, and will eat anything, be it refuse, waste, alligators, or people. Where did they come from? You don't want to know.
Sewer beasts are 7 feet long and weigh 550 pounds.

Combat
Sewer beasts have no grasp of tactics aside from "bite it until it dies".

Skills: Sewer beasts have a +4 racial bonus to Swim checks.

Well, I failed. 5 monsters in 24 hours. Still a pretty good turnout. I'll try again some other time.

Perhaps you can come up with the ideas before the time starts, and then just try to stat them all out in 24 hours?

Because that'd be too easy.

Then set aside an hour before at the beginning of the 24 hours and come up with the ideas and then start to chisel them out as you go.

Maybe next time, you should bash your head against the wall a bit, or goof around in Paint or doodle a few pictures. That always helps me. In fact, doodling a few weapons got me to win the Weapons of Awesomeness competition once.

EDIT: I just bumped a thread on the last page, didn't I? I really got to pay more attention.
