REVERB GAMERS 2012, #27: If you were an Ent, what kind of Ent would you be? Or, what other NPC creature would you be? Why?

I thought at first this question was bizarre and very out of place with the other questions. Then my wife informed me it was a funny play on that common question of ‘if you were a tree, what type of tree would you be?’. Makes much more sense now. Thanks wife!

Anyway, I don’t know a lot about ents. I guess I would like to be an unusual one. Petrified ent or cactus ent or venus fly ent. Perhaps coral ent if that’s allowed. Also, like an ent that got wood chipped and is now a swarm of chips. It has splinter attack.

What other monsters? My wife played as a gargoyle once. Faulker was awesome. Oh, she also played as a dragon transmuted into a human. He was… angry.

I would like to play as a lich, or some other undying immortal. It’d be cool to watch civilisations rise and fall and be all jaded to everyday happenings. It’d be an interesting change of pace. I’d like to see what sort of challenges and foes I would face.

Also, gelatinous cube monk. For obvious awesome reasons.
