    My favorite Dragon Magazine monster is the Chessex or "Fear Deer"! A "Fear Deer" pretty much a normal deer but has poison extruding horns. The poison causes incredibly intense fear in most creatures and thus Chessex are very bold creatures who don't back down from a fight. A fun random encounter.

    The duck bunny is one of my favorites from this article.
    The platypus bear is something that I would like to see in Dungeons and Dragons after seeing it in Avatar the Last Airbender. There are so many combination animals in that show.
    Another source of combination creatures is The Croods movies and cartoon series.

    I always thought the duckbunny was the star of the article. The cutest, least offensive abomination against nature ever! Also, if wizards are doing this sort of thing in training, making duckbunnies is the safe choice, so there's lots of these adorable (?) things being made.

    A friend of mine once ran a Half-Dragon/Half-Dragon/Squid character. And yes I intentionally listed Half-Dragon twice. He was a Monk, and spent every Boss encounter grappling the enemy with the highest CR and stuffing them into his bag-of-holding. Our GM in that game gave us WAY too much leeway. :P

    As soon as you both started explaining the spider horse I was like "what the f*** is this horror!?" (not a fan of spiders, especially huge horse sized ones). But, as the vid went on I couldn't stop smiling wide (Aunt Neigh .. tee hee hee) .. The spider horse needs to become official canon material and I think I might want one too. Would make a perfect ride in any Underdark related adventures.

    The longhorse of Solara scoffs at the spiderhorse. The longhorse was created by some REALLY obscure illithid experiments that didn't create aberrations...unless you count a horse with hands as an aberration.
    I didn't have a horse mini. The players were doing a cart escort quest. So, we made a wagon out of a dice jail, and a player made a horse out of a piece of paper ripped from a pizza box. It was HORRIBLY drawn, it was entirely too long, and it's member...well, it was too.
    "Does the horse really look that enlongated?" was the question at the table. "Absolutely," I responded.
    I still have to add a SOLID picture, but here are it's details: www.worldanvil.com/w/realmspace-and-beyond-darias/a/longhorse-article
    "Beyond the length of it's broad muscular back, the feet of the longhorse are what sets it apart. Rather than ending in hooves, the legs of the longhorse end in a grasping palm similar in size to an ape, but thickly padded like that of a camel. This is beneficial to the craggy mountain terrain as it enables the animal to grip on to wide, rounded, yet uneven surfaces."
    Such are the creations of DMs far and wide.

    So I killed my cavalier’s horse because they left them alone while sleeping and I rolled up some dire wolves as a nightly encounter that they didn’t perceive. Then after that I was looking for a way of getting her a new horse and I watched Todd’s DDB video about Ravenloft and horror with a couple other ladies that kept talking about baby hands lol. I was then introduced to Spider Horse and knew that was the proposition for her once we got to Ravenloft. She surprisingly fell in love with spider horse ever since I introduced them and now calls it her baby 😂
