An idea for a GG creature... just a rough sketch for now, but if the idea picks up we can add to it. Sort of in the line of the techno-magical idea.
Block Puzzle
A 5x5 block cube, made of something that looks like iron, somewhat rusted, and old.
You haven't figured out how to work it yet, but keep working on it. You'll figure it out eventually.
Solve the puzzle for a great reward.
Abilities: None (like an egg)
Targets: None
Block Lion
You've managed to move some parts of the cube around, and now it looks sort of like a lion.
It doesn't move on its own, or do anything, really, except make your opponents stare and let their guard down for a moment.
You doubt that this is the true solution to the puzzle.
Iron Terror
As you continue to work with the puzzle, you begin to see how it works, not just on the outisde, but on the inside.
You can feel a faint energy inside it,and the movements come easier, forming the puzzle into a war machine.
The rust is gone from the metal, it feels stronger, and it seems like the pieces that make up the creature are more numerous.
It can now strike your foes, although it is still weak.
You feel you are moving closer to the puzzle's answer.
Abilities: Damage
Targets: Random
Steel Falcon
You realize that not just the puzzle, but the blocks that make up the puzzle can take almost any shape, so you start over and form a new shape.
Energy pulses through the puzzle now, pieces rearranging themselves as you focus your efforts and your will upon it.
It begins to mold to your desire for strength, the metal becoming harder and more resilient, taking the shape of a Falcon,
and becomes a precise machine capable of dealing huge amounts of damage to your strongest foes.
However, you know this is not the solution, but a step that will give you the strength to reach it.
Abilities: Aimed Hit
Targets: Strong Creatures
Gleaming Claw
The puzzle grows larger as it vanquishes your foes. You no longer need to touch the puzzle; focusing your will upon it is enough
to form and reshape the metal. You no longer know what metal makes up the puzzle, but nothing seems to scratch it.
Through your connection to the puzzle, you can feel it needs huge amounts of energy to continue to transform.
You direct it to feed upon the life force of your foes, and it warps and rearrages to become a giant claw,
latching onto your foes and draining their strength.
Abilities: Steal Life
Targets: Random, Strong Creatures, Weak Creatures, Dying
Silver Drake
The puzzle has grown huge, and with its size, its loyalty to you increases. Your will merges with the energy now raging through the
puzzle like a storm, and you feel confident you know the solution. You work the puzzle into a war machine, a Silver Drake.
Its fierce energy can now be turned upon your enemies, striking many foes. The machine now looks like it is made of silver,
and with each strike the metal rings with a pure sound. The segments between the complex pieces of the puzzle are now barely visible,
making you sure this powerful creature is indeed the solution.
Deep within the puzzle, you feel preparations beginning, although their purpose is beyond your understanding.
This creature rapidly destroys the vitality of your opponent.
Abilities: Damage
Targets: All
Gold Cube
All of a sudden, in a moment, you understand the purpose of the puzzle, and its answer. With a flash of brilliant light and a heat wave,
the puzzle transforms into a floating cube of pure gold, five segments wide, by five segments tall, by five segments deep,
the same size and shape as when it started, but with an uncontainable power within. The puzzle now glows with a strong golden light.
You see now that the true puzzle was within your own mind. Rather than focusing on how to figure out how to demolish your foes, you have learned to build your own energy and strength.
Your allies see it and take heart; your foes gaze on it with terror. This creature adds greatly to the amount of vitality in a fight.
Abilities: Heal, Regenerate
Targets: All (friendly creatures)
Aura: Increase the power skill of all friendly creatures in the fight.
Aura: Increase the defense of all friendly creatures in the fight.
Aura: Increase the attack of all friendly creatures in the fight.
Aura: Increase the initiative of all friendly creatures in the fight.
