06-09-07, 10:53 PM I'm intending to use some effigies in my army as transports, and I need a base creature. Unfortunatly, I don't have acess to half the books we play with, so I'm asking here for a creature that will fit these criteria.
-Gargantuan or Colosal
-Swim, Climb, and Land Speed
-Can lgoically carry some troops (kind of)
I know Giant snakes have the movement, but they wouldn't act as good transports.

Thoughts?

06-09-07, 11:11 PM After going through my MM, MMII, MMIII and FF, the only thing I could come up with that fits all your qualifications is a dragon with Spiderclimb cast on it.

A Seryulin (MMIII) has all three speeds, and is used as mounts, but only has published advancement through size H.

Alternatively, the Reptilian template from SS gives a climb speed equal to land speed-maybe apply that to something G or C with a land and swim speed.

You could also abuse the Titanic template from MMII-supposed to be animal or vermin only, but you need something size G...

Why did you want climb and swim instead of fly?

I wanted those speeds instead of flying for greater cargo capacity and to be usefull in a greater variety of terrain.
Also, I've already picked a flying creature I like, the Roc, or just dragons.
Thanks again.
