D&D Pokemon Fusions : Bring out the Big Beasts

Hey! We're back at it again with more monstrosities to inflict on your eyestalks. In this art game, I take two creatures from a list of d100 creatures (one Pokemon and the other D&D monsters) and then see what cool lore can come from it. If you'd like to try it yourself, there's a link at the bottom of the description. Be sure to tweet the results to me! I love to see what you come up with!

Hey! Since a lot of people are wondering about the Dreading Bell's humming. Its actually an old Slavic lullaby that Dead by Daylight (which I need to play now apparently), Bloodborne, and quite a few other horror games sampled from. @JunkyardCactus stated "The lyrics are about how if you sleep on the edge of the bed, a wolf will come, bite your side and drag you to the forest." This has been fun facts with monsters. :> (Also thank you to those being so kind about the new voice. You guys are awesome. Happy Pride!)

I rolled my own d&d-mon Rolled: mew/tarrasque The Sylvan Titan Once there was a very proud archfey who ruled over a large portion of the Feywild. One day a large destructive monster of deific power entered the realm of faeries to wreak havoc. The archfey saw this as a challenge and went along with hundreds of powerful(though not quite archfey level) fey to slay this monster. The archfey was one of the few survivors, but he found the losses to be worth it. He dined on the aberration's flesh in victory. He found the creatures flesh very valuable as it gave him increased strength. Little did he realize that this would be the end of his rule over the feywild. The archfey found himself rapidly growing in size and he found that he had grown horns and a tail. Eventually he became the Sylvan Titan, a gargantuan monster of power so immense that his very appearance blinds those that are faint of heart. Then again, if his visage didn't blind you, then his gaze probably will. His beastly appearance along with his usually quadripedal movement would have many fey mistake him for some sort of enchanted animal if it weren't for his aura of power as well as his gargantuan size. One very unique thing about this titan is his tail. Every attack made with it sends a wave of wild magic at the players, causing stones to fly at their heads, vines to grow into shambling mounds with the players trapped inside of them, animals to start raining from the sky, along with many other wild and unpredictable events. This giant fairy is something that one should NEVER underestimate. PLEASE LIKE SO OUR SPECTATOR CAN SEE MY CREATION!

How would that work tho? Like, I can't imagine a trainer who goes in the wild catching familiars to be a barbarian or cleric. Aren't they all just a mix of ranger w/ druid or in some cases rogue?

[@jpcsdutra]

I would roll a famous trainer (MC, Rival, Villain, Leader, E4 or Champion) and draw their signature pokémon as the motif for their equipment. The equipment being rolled for the class. So let's say, she got Misty. Her signature pokémon is Staryu. So if she rolled a Cleric the Staryu could be her mace or holy symbol with an armor full of water related things or stars. Of if she rolled a Rogue she could have like Starmie throwing stars or star-knife, with a more pirate-y motif or something.

An animated suit of female armor (like bikini armor combine with belly dancer clothing, or a combat dress ala any Saberface from the Fate franchise, like Artoria or Nero) adorned with a veiled headdress and wispy vestments to bewitch and beguile, as the lithe blade dancer construct flits to and fro across the battlefield in a blur of motion, as beautiful and elegant as it is vicious and deadly.

[@mme.veronica735]

I mean neither Jynx nor Animated armour are sexualized in any way so I don't know where you got that idea from. Personally I think a dress animated by a ghost who's heart is frozen is a much better fit

@@mme.veronica735 Jinx looks like an opera singer and it's design look like it has a metal bra with a flowing "dress" attached, similar in design to a specific kind of nightwear/lingerie whose name alludes me. Singer + Animate Armor + flowing = Dancer of the Boreal Valley Also, I said beautiful and elegant, not necessarily sexy. I meant for this bladedancer construct to mesmerize and beguile with its flowing movements. Again, search up any boss fight with the Dancer of the Boreal Valley to get a better understanding of the intended concept. Honestly, I just couldn't reconcile combining the design of Jynx (I'm not big on Polemon, so I don't know Jynx's lore) with a magically animated suit of armor, and get haunted dress. It just felt too out of place, since it doesn't feel like it's related to either Jynx or the Animated Armor, and borrows very few if any elements from them.

[@ExeErdna]

It's an animated dress by a sorrowful spirit of ice most likely bound to that bell so it can become a very dangerous plot based monster

[@demiurgusgodofform8589]

@@ExeErdna And that's great, but riddle me this; where is any influence or elements from the Animated Armor? There's nothing martial about a haunted dress, and the whole point of this video series has been to combine two separate entities, one from Pokemon and one from D&D, into a single concept that incorporates elements of both. And before you point out that it's a haunted dress, I would like to draw attention to the key word *haunted.* Animate Armor is animated is a construct created by a wizard or artificer using magical means as a form of guardian or sentinel, not a maligned spirit possessing it to gain a physical body for potentially malicious purposes. This monster concept, and only this concept out of all those created this far, seems to draw entirely from Jynx as a solitary source, and thereby fails at the very premise it had set out to fulfill. I merely offered up a concept I felt was more in line with the stated purpose of the video.

[@135Fenrir]

Missed a perfect chance for word play, "Dreading Belle"

[@jessjackdaw]

I was worried people might miss the point that the monster is actually the bell, but it certainly was considered. XD

[@GermanKinsmen]

A lesbian who's parents couldn't get the hint of makes a Dreading Bell. Guess my family has something to look forward to.

[@IdiotinGlans]

Drangeon is like an entire adventure build around it waiting to happen

[@dawntherin2833]

You should be an official D&D artist. I love this series so much.

[@MrJon-vw3gh]

You gotta do Yu-Gi-Oh monsters there's some pretty weird ones out there. Also LOVE your videos!

[@alexandreboutaudvalarini5638]

Bump!

[@7thchariot324]

i really like the Megaman robot fusion idea, each series has a variety of robotic bosses that could be great elements to a dnd creature (Dustman is my favorite, for some reason)

[@castdragon8849]

@@7thchariot324 I watch a polygon video with BDG talking about all the robots and man that list is big.

[@williamtodd6614]

I one requested the she do Digimon/D&D fusions.

[@jaydenbr6654]

Jesus you have a strange and beautiful imagination Love your art style

[@remor698]

I cannot believe, that the quality of these monster fusions is getting better and better, since they already started out so great. This batch in particular is incredibly interesting, the art is amazing as always and your narration... I don't think, I could accurately describe just how much I love it. You are doing a tremendous job, keep it up!

[@louiswilliams6478]

Was that small little hum at the end from “dead by daylight”? Specifically from the huntress?

[@ravenwitch5569]

That hum was a old Russian nursery rhyme. The huntress from DBD also hums the same nursery rhyme Edit: the rhyme is called Bayushki bayu

[@expertionis794]

Persona 5 persona's mixed with dnd monsters

[@Tonz_of_Fun]

Hey Jess, I want to say thanks. There are a lot of very interesting and creative beasties here and I'm looking forward to use some in a new campaign setting I'm working on. The campbriar already has a place I could put it and the investor will be fun as well.

[@SorosPhuvix]

What I wouldn't do for a narrative voice like yours. And paired with the vibrancy and fluidity of your art? Chills! Constantly!

[@JellyWafflesOG]

That Nat 20 at the start was an accurate assessment of this episode, I LOVE this batch of monsters.

[@justnoob8141]

Cyandaquil, a fire-type pokemon + Shambling Mound, a plant-base creature? That's a hell of a bender right there

[@warlordvir137]

My party that DM tame the campbrair and named it cydaquil. All without ever seeing this video. So congrats on having monsters where Pokemons you have fused are still able to be seen.

[@arcymzero]

The way you narrate the fusions from "ok so dis is the plan hahahahahaha" to "omg i'm facing this creature right now fuck-" and it's one of the reasons why this series is my favorite

[@kallatasshusky976]

Honestly, your designs never cease to amaze, and about the Genre's, Swap Pokemon with Monster Hunter or something, I think that'd be a pretty interesting way to get some more... bestial creatures to work with!

[@peskybee4332]

I love how every single one of your mashups is so unpredictable and not obvious and always come out amazing! Congrats

[@dawidshakestheworld]

Every time I see your work, I think about how phenomenal it is. Please keep doing what you do. It's a blessing that you're on this public domain and it makes my day a little better seeing your work. You're awesome. 100%

[@mammab3ar793]

Dude the Dreading Bell story ACTUALLY made me cry. You're such an amazing writer! Why hasn't wizards of the coast hired you yet??? I want a book thats just "Jess Jackdaws' guide to Abominations and the Like" with all of these in there! XD

[@hamd8375]

I'm not artistically inclined but your art is a real inspiration, of course I give up on drawing about two minutes later, but the fact that I try it every time I see one of your drawing videos is proof enough of how fantastic they are. Maybe one day I'll actually learn how to draw, until then, keep on doing the amazing work that you're doing.

[@FrankWalker2356]

I check a series of art channels once a few months and yours always exceeds the expectations. I am so happy to see people do what they love, keep the great work

[@witherlordmaster198]

You have got to do more of these. I freaking Love them!

[@Forest-ef6dh]

This is the first video of yours I saw, and I immediately had to see the backlog of these fusions. I really loved all of this, and will happily wait for the next episode!

[@thephantomplays8004]

I'm currently doing a campaign, and I'm 100% going to be using some of these amazing creatures in my campaign! Keep up the amazing work, mainly because the creatures you create are perfect for the campaign I'm doing. Can't wait for more videos!

[@bookaholic84]

I got this video recommended to me so didn't notice the voice difference when I watched earlier videos. I just loved all of the stories you put into the creature creations! These are awesome! You keep doing you! Can't wait to see more.

[@IAmRatherNerdy]

Just found this channel and then I watched all the fusion videos. Of course I’ll be adding these to my campaign. Thank you so much! Your work is incredible!

[@timothymclean]

As far as suggestions go...I only have silly ideas, but this isn't exactly the most serious series, so here we go. Lovecraftian monsters fused with either Pokémon or D&D monsters; D&D monsters with HeroAca quirks added; classic folklore/fantasy creatures combined with weird D&D-original monsters; or Crystal Gems (or Homeworld Gems) combined with D&D monsters.

[@Raptor-tooth]

Always excited to see a new addition to this series. Your paintings are full of life and skillfully put together in every way as usual, and the stories as the speed paint goes by are equally interesting!

[@storeblaa]

Honestly some of my fave content on yt, like I love how your mind fuse the astethics of all ur monster designs

[@grandmaster_link2170]

Your backstories for these wonderful abominations/beauties are fantastic. That takes extra effort, and I appreciate it :)

[@clotildeboulanger7661]

I have been WAITING FOR THIS Seriously your art is so freacking gorgeous, it’s INSANE

[@felix-dy1ge]

gosh sorry im late to comment but i absolutely love these and also love the new mic (or whatever tool u used that makes ur voice clearer) bcs ur voice is actually so soothing and i LOVE hearing u read ur own descriptions. I also think the voices u put for the monsters are soooooo spot on
