    Actually, this is one of the unique ones. It's posted on the main news page, along with a new outfit.

    Generated monsters vs uniques.

    Generated monsters:
    Build themselves from a pool of body parts, walking animations, attacks, etc. They are tier-able by different colors (or wearable items). Basically the simpler of monsters you encounter.

    Uniques:
    Don't have a pool of body parts because their look, attacks, and animations are unique in the way they it's hard to build into the generated monster pool to work correctly. Still tier-able by different color schemes or accessories. The penguins are unique but you could potentially see pink or other colors if they wanted to add that. The same goes with these monsters.

    This is just me speculating, of course.

    Penguins aren't a unique type, we have seen variations already

    Totally, I remember all those millions of reloaded saves from those annoying dungeons. Though, those Centurions looked quite badass to say the least.

    Can ya really think up billions of names for billions of discovered creatures? I dunno if I could think up even hundreds of names... :unsure:

    Right, but what if we can only name the ones we found first, and be able to see the names of monsters other people found first? Since monsters are randomly generated, we will always find new monsters, and with other people naming the rest of them, we might be able to have a complex system in which all known monsters are named by players.

    Perhaps in ginormous Multiplayer... what about Single Player?

    Not to mention what about Griefers & how they might name stuff...? :facepalm:
