Description
A few years back, me, two friends and my brother sat down and drew some creatures and objects we got from SlimeBeast's Random Monster Generator. I enjoyed these weird creations so much, I decided to re-draw these, as well as every other thing on the list I printed, and give them all fun backstories. These drawings are from after our session, and were originally done up about a year and a half ago.

Prompt: Vampire Drainer

"Who would've thought that even vampires have a predator?"

The Vampire Drainer, or Venatorium in their tongue, is an ancient species that was thought to be long dead. Many centuries ago, when vampires were at their most widespread, there was an earthquake in Europe. This earthquake caused the side of a mountain to crumble, and an ancient cave to be unearthed. From this cave poured forth the Venatorium. Like an airborne plague, this bizarre predatory species began seeking any and every vampire they could find. They would swoop down from the heavens and pierce the vampire's heart and throat with both their proboscis' and utterly drain the vampire of all of its blood. Because of this tactic, the Venatorium preferred to hunt vampires who had just fed, and thus were filled with blood. This continued for many years, until the Black Plague arrived. While unaffected by it, vampires still contracted the Plague and thus were carriers for it. The Venatorium, on the other hand, were either killed or driven insane by the plague's effects. The Black Plague wreaked havoc on their numbers, and thus the Venatorium retreated back underground where their species presumably died out. This is believed to be an incorrect assumption though, as in recent years, more and more vampires have been turning up drained of their blood, with two tell-tale piercings at their heart and throat.

Prompt: Gourd Of The Past

"Haven't you ever wanted to change the past?"

The Gourd of the Past is an ancient object of unknown origin. Those who believe in its existence seem to share the opinion that it predates any known civilization, though how this is possible no one knows for certain. The only fact anyone can truly agree on, is the power that the gourd wields. It is said, that when one peers into the mouth of the gourd, they will be transported back in time to a random point in history. While some argue that it is possible to influence when and where you are sent to, this hasn't been proven. Regardless, once the user is in the past, they have 2 hours to do as they please. It is believed that one can change history as we know it, although this is difficult to prove since, if history has changed, how would we know? Another point of contention is what happens if the user doesn't peer back into the gourd when their time is up. Some argue that the user simply returns to their own time, while others say they are trapped in the past, thus erasing their presence from the future. Once again, this is difficult to prove. The final known fact about the gourd, is that wherever it was left in the past, is where it shall remain until it is discovered again.

Prompt: Bat Dissolver

"That bug was WAY too big."

Deep in the Amazon lie many undiscovered species. One such species is the "Bat Dissolver", a large four foot long insect discovered by the TriZen expeditionary team as they searched for the ancient treasure of Kalamathu. While the encounter was brief, and thus info is scarce, the team was able to parse together enough information to give a good idea on how the insect works. They noted, through the use of night vision goggles, that the insect would lie in wait high in the treetops, suspended by thin strands of a web-like substance that seemed to originate from each of the insect's legs. It is unknown if it was by luck, or if the insect can influence bats through pheromones, that the team managed to witness the insect in action. As a bat flew by, the insect leaned forward and sprayed a fine mist towards the bat. almost immediately, the bat began struggling to fly, before dropping to the ground in front of one the expedition members, startling them. The insect then began to descend from the treetops, using its webs to safely approach the ground. The team noted that the bat had, at this point, begin to dissolve. The insect finally reached the ground, and was approached by a member of the crew. An unfortunate mistake, as the insect reacted aggressively, spraying the crew member in the face. Panic ensued, as another member allegedly shot at the insect, which avoided the shot, grabbed its prey, and rocketed back up into the treetops to feast. The wounded crew member died of their injuries.

Prompt: The Fetus That Laughs At Death

"Ha ha ha heheh hahaha!"

A fetus marked for death, yet with no fear. So little fear, in fact, that when Death approached, the fetus reacted only with laughter. Death was so taken aback, and filled with shame that the only thing it could do was without its dignity. The fetus was later born, alive and well. And cool as fuck.
