First time I saw this motherfucker in 6 I thought "oh fuck, this guy's gonna be a bitch". Then he promptly killed my mage and sliced by warrior down to 80% HP in one turn and I flipped my shit.
DQ6 and 7 have the best monster designs in the series.

I've never even played an SMT/Persona game but this design is rad as fuck
Hunter Morales
what is it about DQ's monster design that makes them so appealing and memorable despite how simple they are?
Julian Rodriguez
Despite being simple they are very distinct looking. Toriyama's style really shines through.
Joseph Mitchell
Most stuff from Metal Slug
Nicholas Nelson
looking forward to seeing these all realised in the remake!

Post some from games that came out this decade.
Daniel Moore
I'm sorry wait let me rephrase this for Yea Forums.
You actual fucking retards. You are incapable of posting any creature designs from this decade because you are retarded and there are none because every game, all 10,000 of them, that came out this decade all suck ass after the mass soul-draining of society in 2012. I know of some but because I am so much smarter and because my taste is so much better I'm not going to post any myself. Instead I will wait for you to post and then laugh at you for trying with smug girls from anime I never watched.

I always thought Subspace Emissary's enemy's were under-appreciated
I'll never underatand why people complained about Sakurai making new enemies that fit the tone of the game instead of just copy pasting enemies from other Nintendo games like Melee did
Jayden Walker
I always liked this little guy, it's similar to the stuff I drew in middle school

Toriyama makes awesome robots
Chase Fisher
Enemies from Nintendo games fit the theme of the series, the Smash 4 Kid Icarus masturbation was awful though.
Cooper Edwards
Forever my favorite Badnik
Luke Diaz
Fucking adorable.
Sebastian Lee
Baddest motherfucker in the game, was really glad to see him in Ultimate
Jordan Morales
I'll end it thus
Angel Sullivan

Evan Ramirez
Evan Carter
Reminds me of these from FFVII
Something about robots having beaks/drills makes them cool as fuck
Jeremiah Adams
FFVII's enemies are so underappreciated. They have such a primative, silly, and unsettling feel to them. It's so interesting to me just how bizarre they are.
Justin Ward
I know he's a boss and not a normal enemy but I love Belome. His design is so nonsensical I love it
>vaguely dog-like
>weird spiral pattern all over his body
>2 pairs of striped horns (?)
>2 pairs of eyes that move independently of each other
>nub arms
The best part is he had his own temple so people at one point worshipped him and were peobably eaten by him
Christian Hughes
I thought his nub arms were cheeks for a long time. SMRPG had some cool enemies designs overall.
Samuel Lee
it is the only final fantasy game i like
Aaron Diaz
Every single version of him has been 10/10. Mecha, Silver, Neo, Overlord, all of them are top tier.
Adrian Nelson
Lore wise, who is making those robot enemies in DQ?
Grayson Morgan
Wizards?
Ryan Robinson
I wanted to beat Zelda enemies using Samus, I don't care about Sakurai OCs.
William Foster
Great silhouettes, which make the monsters distinct and recognizable. Toriyama also manages to balance intimidating and charming very well in his designs.
Xavier Thomas
I saw here a few month ago that dev for DQ1 originally gave Toriyama design for Wizardry as inspiration, and there's an artbook comparing the two that an user posted here, someone know what I'm talking about ?
Matthew Brown
Is this Sonichu?
Jose Fisher

William James
Anthony Barnes
No one really posted this?
Oliver Bennett
Please dont trigger ny ptsd
Noah Rogers
It's really amazing how adorable such a simple design can be and how absurdly popular it is. I sometimes wonder, had DQ never existed, would a design like this be accepted nowadays and would it get the same amount of traction.
Jonathan Sanders
It really depends. Knowing how the Internet works, there's two routes. Either the Slime design would be accepted immediately, get tons of fanart and the inevitable porn. Or it would be ridiculed to hell and back, then people would start ironically liking it, then people will like it fully. THEN the porn will start popping up.
Nathan King
Kevin Hughes
Oswald is actually an interesting comparison. Only reason why we have Mickey Mouse in all of its corporate horror is just because Walt lost the rights to him which forced him to create the mouse, even though it could've been as popular as Mickey is now. I guess part of it is just marketing. See what people latch on to and market the hell out of it.
Or how out of all the Pokemon, Pikachu was the one people found most endearing.
Bottom line, get a good artist for your games. Part of Hollow Knight's massive success also came from very simple but endearing designs.

Only game that came close to explain that, was DQ7 where Ogrodemir created a factory that made killer robots.

Sly character designs in general are top notch
Nathaniel Evans
*blocks your path*
Blake Richardson
It's not despite how simple they are, it's because of it. So many fantasy artists come up with a huge origin story and history for all their characters, which is great, but then try to represent every element of that story in the design, so it ends up as an overdesigned mess. DQ enemies are pretty straightforward. You take one look at them and know pretty much everything you need to.
Complex, intricate character designs do have their place, but generic enemies and NPCs are not that place.
Kayden Miller
I think the real question is why they didn't have containment fail and make you fight your way out of that room.
Tyler Mitchell
They haven't shown any of the weird enemies so far in remake footage/screenshots, have they? I hope they don't try to tone them down.
Noah Young
Classic mode was still there.
Jackson Lewis
Galleom is pretty great, and I did get a burst of nostalgia seeing him pop up in Ultimate, but I had really hoped Duon would make a return at some point. Fighting him was just so fun.

Always loved the enemies from the original Spyro games. Kinda vague enough for you to insert details, but also not super basic.
Tyler Cox
This is my favorite DQ enemy. I just finished the automaton chapter of 7.
>King gives you a knife for fighting an army of robots.
Fuck off.
Thomas Phillips
>They never bring cool guys like this back.
>But here's Lilim again!
Megaten's some bullshit.
Kevin Allen
Monster robots in DQ are made via magic and don't actually function like robots do. They behave like robots and work based on how people think robots work, but they're mostly hollow inside. Also they have souls, and all monsters can become friendly, and even transform into humans with enough effort.
It's a bit odd.
Shit's weird.
Bentley Robinson
>Incessantly complains about the activities of the right wing, body politic, and head of state, but lacks the motivation to actually do anything about it.
Absolutely based devs (and translators)
Christopher Ross
The quiver
Isaiah Reyes
distinct silhouettes, dynamic poses (no boring A-pose), great colors.
Wyatt Bennett
That dog enemy with the nice belly is better.
Joshua Reed
These guys were always unnerving as fuck to fight. I would also compliment just how great their sounds are, but the sound design in Dead Space in general is fantastic.
