Monochrome Menace

Got bored the other day and decided to see how many monochrome creatures I could make. That turned out to be 15.

Let’s go through these individually. (note that, due to the strict monochrome rule, not all of these are… high-quality, to put it lightly, but I did my best)

The Monochrome Menace Dossier
Updated 16/05/53

Name: Rash
Color: Red
Gender: male
Class: contained threat
Equipment: twin fire swords, wings, tusks

This fiery fiend once rained fire from the skies, destroying everything in his path. When threatened, he was able to turn its body into pure flames. With help from Donal, we were able to neutralize his power and contain him, and he is thus far the only Monochrome threat we have neutralized.

Name: Vend
Color: White
Gender: male
Class: threat
Equipment: twin swords, horns

This bull-headed brute rampages across the northern wastes, known for attacking travelers and then vanishing into the snow and ice, nearly impossible to track. Those few who have tried to track him have often not returned.

Name: Brex
Color: blue
Gender: male
Class: neutral
Equipment: hooked hand, sword

This fin-headed freak really just wants to party under the sea. Aside from the fisherman who suddenly find that the partier has scared all the fish away, Brex usually causes no harm to anyone. His big feet act as flippers in the water, but he hates how silly they look on land.

Name: Jox
Color: brown
Gender: female
class: neutral ally
Equipment: hammer, carving pick

This contented carver can carve just about anything, if you’ve got enough money. Although she doesn’t care for fighting, she can’t look on as others are hurt, often helping defend her village from raiders, or from the other monochrome creatures that try to attack the village she calls home.

Name: Donal
Color: black
Gender: male
Class: ally
Equipment: cannon arm, claw, giant jaws

This two-headed terror is… actually quite friendly once you get to know him, even gentlemanly. He knows a lot about the other Monochromes, and is currently helping to stop the rampage of the more monstrous Monochrome creatures. Don’t be fooled by his gentle giant demeanor: you threaten him or his friends, and he can and will literally bite your head off.

Name: Tigris
Color: orange
Gender: female
Class: neutral
Equipment: tusks, claws

This creature often acts more like a tiger than a sentient. She has disappeared into the eastern woods, hunting prey and living in the wild. So far, however, she avoids targeting sentients, or even interacting with them. According to Donal, she is able to talk, but is shy around others.

Name: Faren
Color: grey
Gender: male
Class: enemy
Equipment: saw, dagger.

This creature is extremely wise, and seems devoted to making our lives difficult. At first, he joined us in our attempts to stop the monstrous Monochromes’ rampage. Eventually, however, we learned that he had actually done all he could to sabotage our efforts. Attempts to detain him failed and he escaped, and he has since shown up occasionally, hindering our efforts to stop the rampage of his monstrous cousins and always evading capture himself.

Name: Lenda
Color: blue
gender: female
Class: ally/pest (depending on her mood that day)
Equipment: twin water harpoons

This one-eyed creature might just be the weirdest of the monochromes. When she isn’t swimming around hunting and eating fish, she likes to play ‘pranks’ on the other Monochromes – and sometimes us, too. She enjoys ‘pranking’ the bad Monochromes just as much as the good ones, often hindering or even halting their rampages, which is the main reason her behavior is tolerated.

Name: Tanner
Color: Tan
Gender: male
Class: neutral
Equipment: pick, force cannon

Ok, so first off, he introduced himself by that name. He made the pun, not us. This guy dwells in the great barren, hiding in the sand. He seems to have a hatred of bandits and thieves, and anyone looking to hold up a caravan in the desert better watch out for him. He doesn’t stick around much once his job is done, vanishing into the desert once more.

Name: Drogo
Color: gray
Gender: male
Class: major threat
Equipment: twin hooks

This monster is extremely strong and resilient, and seems to find joy in one thing: wrecking villages. According to Donal, he always had a tenuous grip on sanity, and now appears to have snapped completely. He has destroyed many villages and taken many lives, and he is to be considered our top priority at this time.

Name: Davan
Color: green
Gender: male
Class: ally
Equipment: claw/blade arm, dagger

Davan doesn’t really like to fight, but has joined the monochrome resistance out of loyalty to his ‘sister’ Risha. He feels like he has an obligation to keep her safe (even though she can take care of herself, and more often than not Risha is the one protecting him). He also has a habit of making random things out of raw materials – traps, tools, and other items of various usability.

Name: Bovv
Color: red
Gender: male
Class: pest
equipment: claw, sword

This creature is actually a daemon from the deepest pit of Karzahni… or so he says, to anyone who will listen. He enjoys causing trouble and has been arrested and/or kicked out of a village too many times to count, but somehow always manages to talk some other village into accepting him, or claims that he’ll change his ways. A nuisance, but not one warranting our direct attention at the moment.

Name: unknown
Color: blue?
Gender: unknown
Class: unknown
Equipment: unknown

When the Monochromes first started showing up, a few reports described a dark bluish creature that didn’t match the descriptions of Lenda or Brex. Donal has confirmed that this is another Monochrome, and speculates that s/he is hiding in the southeastern swamp, but no one has seen this creature in months.

Name: Risha
Color: green
Gender: female
Class: ally
Equipment: bow.

Risha is at home in the wild, agile and limber in the trees and our best tracker and scout. She has come the closest to tracking down Vend. Like her ‘brother’ Davan, she has a tail, and Donal has confirmed that this trait is common to all green monochromes.

Name: Seth
Color: grey
Gender: male
Class: ally
Equipment: claws, claw tail

An unknown ‘incident’ that Seth refuses to talk about left him as a skeleton creature with a prehensile tail that he can use as a third arm. Despite his creepy appearance, he is actually the friendliest of the Monochromes, and is well-known for his sense of humor. Even those among our ranks who distrust our Monochrome allies will show up at the bar when he’s telling one of his wild stories.

And that’s all. Again, these aren’t the most serious mocs I’ve made, but I certainly did my best to give them some semblance of quality while adhering to the monochrome rule.
(also, yes, I know the teeth on the Piraka skull are GitD, but it’s not really different enough that I consider it a different colour)

Yep.

Looks at Tigris

But all things considered these are pretty cool. Some turned out better than others, but all in all none are super terribly bad probably due to the fact you can’t mess up a monochrome color scheme

Not bad! My favorite is probably the white one.

the color schemes are a bit bland

Some of these are pretty cool, but some of these aren’t.

…Mostly because of not being able to do much with some of these colors. This is a neat concept though.
