Crystal growths

Anything you leave out doesn't get eaten by pigeons, it just slowly develops a shimmery surface and then, if left long enough, starts growing crystallic spikes - small at first, they grow out to almost a foot from the walls before they're so heavy they break off and shatter on the ground. When they grow vertically, they can grow to almost three feet before their weight tears them loose, making them a hazard when walking under city bridges and overhanging balconies.

Marble is not an ostentatious display of wealth - everybody gets a white-ish shimmering house for free. No, the rich build in dour black stone, in shale and in granite, and take pride in their very very opaque walls, kept that way by groundskeepers who knock crystal growths free with long wooden tools.

(Not a very valuable crystal, obviously, if it's so common)

>>27913632
Fuck, what if you took a nap? You would be so itchy from all the dust.

>>27913632

What if they were carnivorous crystals?

Fun: Cockney Crows.

Like ordinary crows, but altered by a wizard to speak english in a comical cockney accent. Female crows having a childish sense of humor, they quickly outbred their natural cousins into extinction.

Scary: Funnel web spiders.

Infinitely long human fingers that wiggle up from underground.
Noone knows how deep they go

Warp spider swarms

Leeches

Pseudo-dragons

Disembodied voices that know your secrets.

>>27913274
Tentacles that hold your hand

>>27913632

Splintered crystals don't have sharp fracture lines so the don't make good improvised weapons, but properly preserved they can make adequate spearheads, though they'll shatter against any proper armor. It gets a more interesting result to leave a loose-weaved net with maybe ½-inch masks undisturbed for about two weeks - if woven properly and seeded with crystals of the right alchemical reactants, a fine but strong glass grows to the size of the net.

In this city, the most common pest isn't any specific creature but rather more ghoulish: Anything that dies and isn't properly burned or buried is soon covered in crystal which will eventually fuse to the bones and reanimate. Humans and large animals can be easy to discover and dispose of, but in every alleyway, every day, a rat dies or a sparrow falls. When their crystalline bodies waken after a week or so, they are no more dangerous than before. They still follow their small animal ways until the bone-magic fades and they lie still for good after running around for perhaps a month.

It is said that the Karak Family preserved the bones of Ulukh Fireslayer when he was killed and keep them in a secret cabinet, carefully cleaning away any crystals. If one day they need him, they will take him out and wait until their crystalline champion wakens and can do his foul work for them again.

>>27913274
Crows. Everyone avoids them like the pluage. They seem to be just crows though. Isn't that odd?

Magical self-replicating metallic ravens, designed to eat trash and refuse and convert it into energy which is returned to the city reservoirs. Normally, they act like ordinary birds.

However, they're so ancient that nobody knows how or where they reproduce, and their control mechanism has apparently been scrambled, leading to some birds being misshapen and awkward. Some develop strange mental pattern, like fixation with a specific place or person, preferring to be around it. Others specialize in their trash-collection, like only eating red cloth. Very rarely, they go completely rogue and consider anything living as trash, and horror stories pass around of people being shredded by razor-sharp beaks and wings. Others claim that there are methods of controlling these crows and turning them into assassination tools, but these rumors are obviously not true. Absolutely not.

This would be an awesome elven defense against invaders. Just have everything in town made of ironwood if it needs to be metallike

Also.... howling burrowers.

A small wormlike creature that lives underground. Upon sensing the tremors of walking people the howling burrower drills its way out of the soil launching itself up to 20 meters to unerringly strike a creatures head, burrow through thier skull, and lay eggs in thier brain.
There is a distinct "dentist drill" sound directly before a howling burrower attack.

This ain't Australia. They are not normal wasps.

Spider tanks! About half the size of cat, Panzer IV looking tanks with spider legs. Can run up walls and shit. Don't really attack people or household pets. Eat refuse. Made people make an aqueduct that leads to a cesspool outside the city because after eating shit, little spider tanks start making black, acrid smoke. Can be trained as pets and some are used as a city wide postal service. Unknown breeding capacity. Responds to agression in force. Sometimes make adorable little shooting competitions on the rooftops.

Books. Flying books. Libraries replaced with giant aviaries with tamed books flying all over the place, trained to fly to library patrons and allow themselves to be read in exchange for bookmark treats. Normal books would exist too, but would be uncommon due to several factors:

1. normal books do not regenerate themselves to perfect condition when damaged but not destroyed fully

2. normal books don't find themselves (who needs a card catalog?), deliver themselves, DEFEND themselves, and carry themselves when not in use.

3. "wild" books can be found with hidden/lost knowledge not available in books written by mere men.

4. occasionally, normal books turn into flying books, seemingly at random

hmmm, this setting really writes itself. Maybe in the past there was a great burning of many libraries because of some anti-knowledge cult or god or something, so an ancient, epic level enchanter (or perhaps a god of knowledge) put an enchantment on all the land for the sake of the preservation of knowledge for the future. So now that knowledge really is free in the most literal sense.

Shit, now I want to run this setting. I don't have a group though...

They all know the end is coming, and they're preparing to feast on the fresh corpses of the billions that die.

Banshees.

Dullahan (either just the heads or just the bodies).

Flying rats, oh wait.

>>27917800
So basically miniaturized horseflies.
Wanna trade?

>>27913274
Tarrasques

No need, we got both kinds.

This thread reminds my of an idea of dragons I once had. Dragons could grow to be more than a kilometer long should they live long enough, with no top end limit on size. However the eggs they laid are all roughly the same size of chicken eggs, they just produce more of them as they get bigger. Any dragon that is sexually mature produces a minimum of around a thousand eggs at a time. Tiny dragons are thus all over the damned place, and once they get to be a year old they can fly, around 3 years old they are the size of large cats, around 6 they are larger than most dogs. Also around 6 they start breathing fire, though it can happen earlier even within weeks of birth, at this point though you can kill the dragon for its fire crystal which burns for a very long time at a very hot temperature. Also this was a steampunk setting and adult dragons are hunted in place of whales, the fire crystals being a great fuel source, as well as the dragon fat becoming a high quality oil when you rendered it down.

those huge bats that have like 10ft wingspans

>>27918387
That actually sounds like a pretty cool idea.

Raptors. Little raptors with wings.
Instead of bread you throw a sheep in the park.

For fun: Pigeon marines, pigeons with little space marine helmets which can use normal language, but still are dumb as always.
When they swarm to get bread crumps they scream "FOR THE EMPERAH" and when they fight "HERESY".
With a deep manly voice ofcourse.

Just imagine going for a walk and suddenly you hear "HERETIC" screamed from above and a pigeon shat on your head.

>>27918623
>pigeons
Don't you mean Partridges?

>>27917224
Oh!! And instead of doing birdcalls to them, he makes that thhhrrrrp soundyou get when you turn the pages really fast (I'm not sure how to describe it better)!

>>27918622
I'm glad someone else likes it, but I stopped working on it when I couldn't decide on what fantasy elements it should and shouldn't have.

>>27919060
Yeah, it also sounds like there are shittons of massive firebreathing flying lizards everywhere so you'd probably have to take that into account. Dragons instead of horses?

Anyway, you could just try going with standard fantasy D&D elements.

>>27919133
I really didn't want to go with standard things because I was trying to make something that actually looked like the industrial revolution. Part of why I wanted to do the dragon hunting = whaling thing was because most modern people look down on whaling, but at the time whalers were much more heroic figures, and I wanted to convey that. And putting in the standard fantasy elements would skew things like that.

Bearded vultures eat nothing but bones.

No, really. They eat bones. Their stomach acids are considered on par to laboratory solutions. They'll pick up prey and drop it to its death, then let other things feast on the meat, swooping in later to eat the skeleton. They get all their nourishment from the bones and marrow.

>>27919292
Point. I genuinely is an interesting setting in my opinion, I'm thinking about using it for my next campaign.

>>27919396
Fuck yes. Bearded Vulture Men for best race.

I've been to /lit/ all of two or three times and each time they told me to read Infinite Jest. I still haven't read it and I still have no idea what it's about.

Gnomes, of course. They live in the walls and crawlspaces and shit and build little junk houses. They're like rats, and they steal shit all the time. People like to point them around whenever they see them. And I ain't talking about no WoW gnomes, I,m talking 6 inch tall garden gnomes.
Fucking gnomes, man

Day-yam, Making me think of the Library of Babel as a sort of underdark that the flying books emerge from, breaking free from the shelves below and past the blind & unseeable librarians of the dark, burrowing up towards the light and emerging on to the surface.

Not only infinite but eternally emptying.

here in cali we get so many crows in the fall and winter they can cover rooftops and streetlines for miles. I, however, love crows, they're like my spirit animal and they're so pretty!

>>27913386
Oh, so now blasted hellscapes are allowed?

Terrifying:
>>27921194 cross bred with >>27913396 and genetically altered to have the temperament of a hornet or wasp.

Swarming, flighted, insectile cassowaries that hate all other life, with no exceptions.

Fun:
Aesop owls. Owls that tell fables that are somewhat relavant to the listeners' current situation with a great moral at the end.

because the town is close to a hole leading to the elemental planes, the entire town is overrun with fucking mephits. they tried to release a shit load of quasits to kill they tenativly teamed up. thinking that cacodaemons would naturally not team up with anyone they let loose shitloads of them, but they all ran into the sewers instead of the rooftops and rafters.
