I sometimes make monsters (or take requests for making monsters), so here's a thread for monsters that you've made or you'd like to see.
...Yeah, those are pretty weird.
I'm looking at maybe doing a monster based on this:

Special Abilities
Eerie Song(Su) Roc Lobsters continuously hum a strange song. Creatures that can hear the song must make a DC 21 Will Save or be confused for as long as they hear it. Affected creatures may make another save each round to remove the effect. A creature that successfully saves against this ability is immune to it for the next 24 hours.
The save DC is Charisma based.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Burning Toast(Ex): As a standard action, a Toaster Pig can fire a slice of burning toast at a target as a ranged touch attack. The toast does 5d6 bludgeoning and 5d6 fire damage on a successful hit and has a range increment of 10 ft.. The toast also leaves a trail of flame behind it, dealing 5d6 fire damage to creatures caught in the line. A reflex save halves this damage. The save DC is constitution based. The toaster pig can use this ability 2 times per hour.
Blaze of crumbs(Ex): After using both of its uses of Burning Toast for the hour, the Toaster Pig can emit a cloud of burning breadcrumbs in a 30 ft. cone as a standard action. Creatures in the cone take 5d6 fire damage (reflex halves). The lingering crumbs grant partial concealment for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution based. After using this ability, the toaster pig needs to wait 1d6 rounds before using it again.
Overheat(Ex): When a Toaster Pig dies, heat rapidly builds up in its body. 3d4 rounds after death, the toaster pig explodes with residual heat, dealing 5d6 bludgeoning and 5d6 fire damage in a 30 ft. burst. A successful reflex save halves this damage. The save DC is Constitution based.
Vulnerability to cold(Ex): Whenever a toaster pig takes cold damage, it is unable to use its Burning Toast or Blaze of Crumbs abilities for one round. Dealing cold damage equal to a dead Toaster Pig’s constitution score also negates its Overheat ability.
TACTICS
During Combat Toaster pigs fire their burning toast at range before charging into melee. In groups they have no qualms about injuring each other with their area effect special attacks.
Morale Toaster Pigs fight to the death
The toaster pig, as might be expected, is not a natural creature. Popular theory holds that a wizard designed the beast as a sort of all-in-one breakfast: it makes toast, you can slice ready-cooked ham and bacon from its body, and the beast even regularly lays hard boiled eggs. Popular theory also says that the wizard didn’t expect his creation not to take kindly to having large chunks of it cut off at regular intervals. Nor that his new Toaster Pig would be as dangerous as it was. Presumably the wizard quickly discovered his mistake as a high velocity slice of burning toast crushed his skull.
The magic involved in their creation seems to have changed them markedly. The toasting section in the middle is now remarkably hard, metallic looking and heat resistant, which has spread in large part to the rest of their bodies. The gentle warmth of their bodies, previously perfect for making toast, has now gone wild and blisteringly hot, and the heat can be felt some distance from their bodies.
In the wild, Toaster Pigs prefer to live in cooler climates to counteract their ferociously hot metabolism. Indeed, it seems that without a cold climate, their eggs quickly cook after being laid, and they cannot reproduce, which they can do very rapidly. Ironically, the cold is one of their greatest weaknesses, so Toaster Pigs tend to cluster together in herds. Their extreme body heat often leaves much warmer patches in their snowy homes, and are often havens to plant life that could not otherwise thrive in the area. A sure sign of a population of Toaster Pigs is a warm field of grass and flowers in snowfields.
Toaster Pigs prefer to gather together for warmth, and fighting is minimal within the clan, with the exception of around mating time. Males gore each other savagely and fire slices of toast at each other at close range in their efforts to impress females, and particularly powerful males can sometimes be the sire of all the Toaster Pigs in a clan. Females with a clutch of eggs leave the herds until they hatch, as the eggs tend to cook in the presence of too many other Toaster Pigs. Toaster Pigs are extremely aggressive to other creatures, and entire clans of Toaster Pigs have been known to attack passers by.
Toaster Pigs are typically around 8 ft. high and can weigh up to 2 tons. Toaster Pig hide can be used to make Dragonhide armour.
