Description Doomboros: this skeletal creation generates an empathic field that forces all other sentient beings to share its own emotions, but despite its formidable appearance, the Doomboros is incapable of feeling anything other than fear and despair. It exists in constant anticipation of its own destruction, wether or not such a thing is pending. Only when it has infected its enemies with paranoia does it muster the courage to defend itself. It rarely fights offensively, and moves little.

Deranger: this filthy, reviled feline bears the proportions of a young housecat or kitten, but reaches the size of a tiger. One eye of the Deranger (usually the left, but there are exceptions) is large and lidless, while the other is withered and encrusted with flesh. It sees into the minds of other beings and takes control of their bodies, but it is the vestigial eye that performs this function. The uncovered eye is simply blind.

Mercura: defective monster. Its body is filled with cables that probe blindly through its oily skin for a source of electricity.

Zever: these small, strange mutants generate orbs of fire that they guide telepathically at high speeds. They leap about in a monkeylike manner, and emit a metallic whooping sound before "firing". Their skin, resembling black rubber, is inorganic and resistant to heat.

Psychodrome: entirely nonsentient, this "monster" reacts automatically to the emotions of others, preying on the minds of those who threaten its creator. All sentient beings perceive the psychodrome as a highly active "creature", generating nightmareish visions as it drains intelligence through an array of grotesque pseudopods. On photographic or recording equipment, there appears only a motionless, battered television set.

Weevilouse: fusion between human and louse. Large and slow, but heavily armored. It attacks by grappling prey and gnawing at flesh, noisily slurping up blood. It is also in the habit of eating hair or feathers.

I love the Mercura and the Zever. I don't know why you don't bring them back for Mortasheen.

Most retired monsters are monsters I didn't care much for to start with, they felt lazy or didn't really fit with the setting, or are too hard to draw right

I still think that a revamp of the Mercura would fit as a hybrid Biomecha/Garbage creature, like an electronic parasite if you will.

My favorite is the TV.

I really really really really really like the Zever, maybe it's the sexy shiny black skin, or maybe it's the creepy stitches, or maybe, just maybe it's the awesome hoove-y high heels. At anyrate, I want one.

The Psychodrome lo0ks like an Uguck Monger growing out of a TV set! It's got a scorpion tail, a flower, a bird head, and body parts...just like an Uguck Monger!!

Whoops, yeah, I forgot to put in the description that it was inspired by three things: silent hill, videodrome, and you

Somehow though I didn't notice that most of the ugucks have all of those appendages somewhere. Should I alter it some?

You should totally just design some necromon, though, since other people have contributed quite a few.

Leave it the way it is! It's great!

And I might just have to make some Necromon...but only if you make some Uguck Mongers.

Mercura - I figured it would have some insidious ability hidden behind its rather harmless guise. Great concept regardless.
Zever - Has a gimp-like appearance (leather, chains, etc.), which adds to its hellish firepower.
Psychodrome - One of my biggest favourites now.

Wow, this set is overall really awesome! I love them all! Doomboros' ability and temperament are actually a bit of a surprise to me given its appearance, and that makes it all the better.
