This isn't intended to be used at the table, just to make something interesting.
NOW IT IS TIME FOR EXAMPLES
Deinopelta (Terrible Shield)
"An awful weight, a horrible speed. But only forwards. To retreat is to die."Their dozen-legged children hold on to the bulls as they crash through the trees. No one has ever seen one walk backwards.
Stegoornis (Roof Bird)
"A wandering sunset. Hide from the shade."The Stegoornis' wide wings are used to blot out the sun above their targets, blinding and confusing them before the strike.
Brontonax (Thunder King)
"Lightning does not kill. It only carries."A sky-romantic, dragged above in return for their prayers. Too far gone to speak with, but to distracted by their love to attack.
Not what I was expecting when I read the title, but this is a very cool idea!

DeleteJanelle Shane built one of those: http://aiweirdness.com/post/172170729017/dungeons-and-dragons-creatures-generated-by
DeleteOh nice, I was aware of that blog but hadn't seen that post! I've been meaning to contact her and ask her about her models. I have some machine learning experience but could definitely use advice.
DeleteIn any case that's kind of a tangent, but this is a really cool idea as well, one of those ones that seems obvious in retrospect but I never would have thought of it.
And Coins and Scrolls statted 50 of them out, if you find it interesting. https://coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2018/03/osr-monster-manuels-1d50-discount.html
