If you make skeletons of giant monsters in the world, please deliver a giant monster.

So this is something I think monster hunter got right. Shadow of the Colossus got it to a T... If there are giant horns and building motifs of colossal scale, but you can't deliver a polished experience where you hunt a monster in a classical sense. Then do the sort of shadow of colossus style of encounter building, and really go deep. Make the monster terrain, make bits of it attack-able. Give it parasites. Get us to the monster-top and let us live the dream of interacting with the titans of the world.

Thanks for listening to my bit of world-building feedback. I noticed in Jahlon's interview monstrously huge skeletons as features of the background... please live up to the world-building promise of giant monsters that you've seeded.

Ok so this gave me an idea for the Tulnar's emergence back into the open world above. What if they required the aid of a titanic creature, a guardian of sorts that spent most of its energies to help tunnel back to the surface for them. However, over time this creature has grown too old and its magical energies unstable. This causes it to devolve into fits of insanity from time to time until eventually it permanently becomes an issue for all those that dare near it. This could be the whole quest line as the original tulnar node grows, the creature causes monumental changes and gets more and more aggressive culminating in a massive world boss fight.

Such a creature could be the key to the entire zones major changes as the node progresses. Sort of a main questline if you will in that node.

In the last dev update Jeff mentioned the word 'Leviathan' then the other devs laughed and said something like 'I see what you did there'....makes me wonder if there's a Leviathan monster in the game

Nagash

Oh what I could do with the bones of such monsters

I'm pretty sure this is something you'll be fighting @Nagash . Not a pet.
Maybe if you gather 8 other necromancers and pool your mana.

We know there will be really massive mobs. This is one example we got a while ago.

@OrcLuck i love this idea! I want the title "Bone Collector" if i'm exploring and find/interact with a variety of different colossus remains. I can't tell you how many times i've walked through some chest cavity and gone "god i hope i never have to fight this thing" but deep down....i want to fight it

I want to have a house design that uses massive monster bones as part of its structure. Like a big F**k you dragon skull for a roof.

I think we can expect big monsers
" These are the types of systems that we want to put in place where groups of a single primary archetype can come together to summon these types of effects that play off of what the identity of that archetype is.[14] – Steven Sharif

Summoners can collaborate to summon larger summons, such as Golems.[4]

A siege summon will have an incremental size based on the number of summoners participating in that summon activity, with a maximum of eight.[15]
The number of summoners participating in the summon will determine its overall size.[15]"

So we might see some big ass fight
Maybe between summoners gruops and raid/dungeon what ever or pvp like necros vs shadowmancers with diffrent agumnet i hope to see a big shadow beast against a giant skelton or someing in that direction
