I had an idea for a monster a while back that was basically a maggot kind of thing that would crawl into an enemy corpse and start consuming it and then eventually pop its head off as it got bigger and would use the monster's body as its own.
Somewhat similar to how Resident Evil 4 and 5 had those centipede creatures pop out of a zombie's head if you shot it. working on a mod called AWESOME QUAKE and it pretty much contains all of the ideas shared in this thread already TBH.
Plus Helicopter-Ogres. You'll see I'm betatesting my level and the funny thing arises I can't kill my monster by gibbing it.
It hadn't occured to me as I always shoot them to death, and then they're finished. When I blast bones with my rocketlauncher its head keeps attacking me untill I'm killed. Suddenly it has become untouchable. Must have to do with the qc. Can't imagine bones read these posts. lets help a DarkYoung, not an Endboss, but well..,

http://dougbot.com/forum/meatHoleDemon.jpg A real wizard, physically he's taller yet thinner than a Shambler. A number of magical ranged attacks as well as summoning abilities and physical regeneration. When the player first sees him he's seemingly dead, impaled on a lance jammed into the wall, on their approach he disimpales himself and uses his regenerative magic to recover from the wound. Throughout the battle the player wears him down despite his regeneration until he resorts to destroying the floor, levitating himself around the arena. Heavy attacks can disrupt his concentration though, causing him to fall into the void revealed below. That is clearly not Yog Sothoth, but instead is obviously the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Well tails and tentacles don't get into games much, because they're difficult to animate, same for odd numbered legs on stuff.
(Kudos to Madfox for taking on the tripedal Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath) The tail can stay or go I spose, but I quite like it, and animation in Quake is 8bit interpolated - assuming the engine supports it / it's turned on. Used a Shuffler and Shambler for size reference, but the mesh got taller. But the references were a bit counterproductive as well since he ended up too stocky, like I mentioned. func_messageboard_vote? Wouldn't override a team_remakequake_vote, but would be taken into consideration - Tail or no tail? Mainly thinking of the finnicky animation it'd need. i think the tail is a good idea. it stops the monsters from looking top-heavy from it's spindly legs.
i'd only be worried that vertex dancing may distort the extremely thin and mobile tail. actually yes, kinda like that demon, accept with the wolfmothers teeth when she laughs in that one scene
Good point, the tail is thin and ratlike, so a potential breaker is the
Don't follow you there so much, meTch - Joker and the Thief? ;)
