What about a monster that behaves like a goblin and does this:

every three rounds the monster moves, an image of it is created that moves in the opposite direction. From now on this image also behaves like a normal goblin, except that it disappears after 6 rounds.

If it is hit by the sword of beethro it disappears. if the original monster is hit by the sword of beethro, all images disappear.

No. No no no no no no no. I believe the programmers/other gamers will agree with me on this, as is. First off, your explanation of the image movement is far too baffling. Second, three rounds is far too short. (If anything, spawn it with queens and tar mothers.) Third, can the "images" kill Beethro? Fourth, I just think it's a bad idea. In a large group of these things, it would be nearly impossible no matter the response to the third item. I would not want a DROD with this monster.

No, there is no need to delete the post! Every request, whether it pans out or not, should still be here. It's very intriguing to go back through them and see more ideas. There is probably a way to fine-tune it, and make it better (check for "amoeba" on the search.) Also, getting many people's opinions allows for betterment of your future ideas. Please don't delete the post.

Yeah, we don't want to discourage people! I'm amazed at all these ideas you're coming up with, when I think that I've only managed to come up with one - and that was pretty basic too...

The more people think up, the more Erik and the team have to choose from and the better DROD will be. So don't be shy, even if everyone thinks it's an awful idea it can still be improved. And zex's opinion was only one - just because he hates it doesn't mean we all will!
