If you were able to create your own creature within AoC, what would it be?

With the current AoC creature designs whether it be mounts, pets or even wildlife. Which has peaked your interest the most? And if you had the ability to submit and/or create your own unique creature within the world of AoC, what would it be? How would this creature interact with the world and what would make it unique.

Nice try Intrepid Spy

but no really.

A giant octopus that can javeline you off the ship with a tentacle and pull you into the watery depths to drown while paralyzing and poisoning you is pretty high up there.

An angry storm cloud that can change shapes to use different class abilities on top of its lightning based magic. Ignores hard cc unless it's solidified for an ability.

A monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head, whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind.

The monsters that peaked my interest the most were certainly
The Ancient World Bosses It Who Sunders The Land and It Who Renders The Sky.
I really like their names and design and believe it would be amazing for them to have their abilities based on their names, Like It Who Sunders The Land using abilities that require you to jump to evade it and It Who Renders the Sky using abilities that require you to look up to see where they will fall.

The most interesting monsters for me in AoC are The Ancients due to how uniquely abstract they are and their lore, if i "had the ability to submit and/or create my own unique creature" i would most likely create a Trio of Ancients Bosses that have to be fought/killed at the same time:

It Who Neglects Its Hearing: Causes Disorientation(Drastically reduces Action Speed) to players around of it.
(Covers it ears)
It Who Disregards Its Vision: Drastically reduces the accuracy of players in front of it.
(Covers its eyes)
It Who Refuses Its Voice: Causes Silence to players far from it.
(Covers its mouth)

P.S: Yep, Three Wise Monkeys reference.

YES!!
This would really bring their names to life too

And then if they have some evil corrupt magic where the "It"s can fuse together at low health for a final phase where they sunder the land and rend the sky at the same time.

Locked doors, chests, traps and random interactables being mimics.

Looking for ideas before upgrading to Hero of the People on Kickstarter ey?

Hehe, that'd freak me out good and proper!

A "Dolphid"! Part dolphin, part squid. Tameable sea-creature, fast and deadly. It'd be an awesome sea-mount (smount?!).

I can dream XD

Dargron

I wouldn't mind seeing something like a Woolly Oxen wearing the shell of an Atlas Beetle - a shaggy beast with segmented, horned plates running from its head down its back like an armadillo.

Percimes

Avian. Tulnar.

Kornflakes

A small table under a shady tree with a slice of pizza on it...., surrounded by a very large transparent gelatinous cube.

Look a Pizza! (tat, tat, tat, tat, BWOOP! Oh...)

Conrad

A being made of pure corruption. I think an old decanonised description of Warhammer Malal demons would be pretty good. ie beings without set shape, black abominations with ever changing features

Khronus

Boss creature. Giant naked (yes it's important) human creature with magic attacks and laser eye abilities.

At 50% the human summons an armor and weapon set that completely alters the fight, making it more challenging. He also doubles in size almost reaching the ceiling (we're talking like 100 ft vaulted ceiling). Also the location is inside a nice looking home somewhere in Southern California.

At 0% the creature falls over only to reveal that the left sandal was actually an alien creature controlling and manipulating the creature. The real fight begins here. The boss has infinite health and only one move. "Launch Chancla". One hit kill if not avoided. Loot is given based on length of time survived.

This is a stupid ass idea. Don't listen to me.

I must have missed that livestream.

Something I'd like to see that would be really cool are animal hybrids similar to the ones seen in Avatar the last Airbender, normal animals but with a noticable difference that seems like plausible thing that could exist in a fantasy world like Verra. Like cows with unicorn horns or pigs with little vestigial wings

Nerror

Flying spiders! Tameable too.

I think a big gelatinous cube monster would work well in some dungeons. The resources dropped upon player death would remain inside the monster until killed, and the monster could grow bigger each time it killed someone. The gelatinous cube would be semi-transparent so you could see an indicator of the relative amount of wealth inside. If you were traveling in low light, you might walk into it by accident. It could be such that it is too tough to solo. Imagine a gelatinous cube scraping a battle field after a big pvp battle in a dungeon, absorbing all the loot from 20 dead (ash) players. I'm not sure what it's interaction with other monsters would be though.

Or after gaining an amount of loot, they make their way down vertical shafts to combine again with the Mother Cube on level 10, who collects their loot. She at times sends out fresh cubes, who can climb these vertical shafts up to the lower levels.

Oh wow. Not picking favorites or anything here but I really like these lol. I'd love to see monsters that will threaten my ships during naval activities!
