Dropmancers are rumoured to be spiritual remnants of a planetary civilisation wiped out by their warlord neighbours for making "too much dang noise". The true nature of their existence is shrouded due to mystery, a great resistance to being tamed, and the adventurer's desire to be rid of them quickly. They are themselves weak and incompetent at directly harming those that trespass on their raving grounds. However, using smooth arm gestures and their terrible cry (approximated by witnesses as 'wub') they are able to rally the departed into battle. In short, it's a dubstep necromancer. Not too fast, but it floats without the influence of gravity a medium distance from the surface and summons/calls anything you could consider slightly 'dead' to its aid when threatened. There are whispers amongst space people that when a dropmancer is killed, you can extract a bizarre material essence of the sounds they create and use it to your advantage. *wub* As part of the procedural generation shtick, I also suggest randomised clothing/hood colours and designs perhaps. Also I'm not sure as to whether it would be better to have the dropmancer take advantage of other slain creatures or stick to its own summonable minions. If the dropmancer did resurrect other creatures, it'd be interesting to see which creatures are hindered and which are buffed by their undead state. Dropmancers can be found in peculiar places, the wobbles of dunes and seas, base of cliffs and drops of canyons and echoing caves. The only think that links them is night and/or dark.
You know, when I first looked at this, I wasn't sure I was going to like it. But I tell you what, having a rhythmic dubstep necrocaller would actually quite interesting. Being able to call anything that you may have killed recently would be advantageous to it and it would be a royal pain for the adventurer too. Good job, and good luck.
Oh... Very good idea. I want to kill this Dropmancer sometime! I hope this monster would be an annoying monster to defeat!
This may be one of the most original submissions I've seen so far. This would be really cool to have as a miniboss or something. And I like the idea of randomly generated outfits. Maybe they could also have varying beats when they're summoning or something? xD Hopefully the dubstep isn't awful though.
