I know, you must also want to create a unique monster, otherwise you will not click into this article.

Before creating a monster, we must first determine what the purpose of creating it is.In the novel, monsters are roughly divided into love-type and disaster-type.

Take the love type as an example: if the monster wants to fall in love with the protagonist, then at least it will have a human-like appearance to ensure that it can give readers enough aesthetic pleasure.At the very least, the appearance of a monster cannot break through people's psychological defenses. If the monster's whole body is like a toad or toad with lumpy bumps, smooth skin or covered with scales, sunken eyes in the shape of a navel, no limbs, no Speech and communication, and mental retardation.So who would want to see such a monster fall in love with the protagonist?Therefore, although the appearance of monsters can be inspired by countless natural objects, there are not many fantasy species that can be used to fall in love.

Second: Humanoid monsters need to have completely different species signs from humans.The vampire's skin is so white that standing in front of the wall can't be picked out. The naughty little canine teeth must be amazingly long. They survive in the dark without blood circulation, heart not beating, and no body temperature.The elves' ears are pointed and long, and at least a dozen ears are enough for piercing.Angels have wings, good or bad depends on the color, level depends on the number.But don't ask me that vampires don't have blood circulation, how can they talk about some adult-level love with humans at night, and why their legs are slender and powerful since angels have wings.The principles of species evolution do not apply to the principles of monster creation.

Human imagination has boundaries, and any new species creation comes from the deformation of the original species.And now that the monster's humanoid nature has been determined, the only things we can change are ears, eyes, lips, teeth, nails, height, hair, skin color, internal organs... these most subtle parts.The principle of creation follows the principle of aesthetics, whether it is the beauty of delicacy or strength, or the beauty of the East or the West, in short... Our goal is: the monster is so beautiful that it is not human at all.

Third: Monsters need to be destructive and dark.Unlike gods who symbolize justice and light, monsters have a destructive beauty.This should be used in conjunction with point [-], which is: Monsters should be powerful enough.Whether it is super power or super power, anyway, beyond the limit of human power, there should be the power of monsters.Human beings are always worthless in front of monsters, as humble as dust.It is very easy to create more thrilling scenes and the most incredible rescue actions.

Fifth: Monsters should have weaknesses.Especially when you create an immortal monster species, although your heart for it has been clearly revealed, but at this time an unavoidable problem arises: they will not die, and they can still live Little monster, will there still be living space on the earth?If you don’t plan to extend your creative claws to the universe, you should understand that family planning alone is not enough, and exponential growth is not something used in mathematics to fool people.Well, having a monster with a weakness, or having another hostile race at the top of the food chain is a good option.

What's more, weaknesses can bring monsters closer to humans, and they don't blindly override other species to make the storyline ups and downs.The protagonist can also save the monster at a critical moment and deepen the relationship. This kind of plot is really tried and tested, and it is worth trying again and again.

Sixth: This code is not useful.
