The D&D Rust Monster was inspired by a bag of plastic figures Gary Gygax found in a dime store. I've had one forever and can't even remember where I got it. The other day I was inspired to paint it so I dug it out and slapped some paint on it.
Maybe this needs to hit the Frostgrave table was well as a Dungeon.
Cheers, Xin/Jeff

My husband has met Mr. Gygax, and he tells a sad tale of meeting an "Icon" who was very drunk and very bitter. |

I kept reading the topic name as "Ironic Rust Monster", which does make sense, sorta … andy |

Ooh, I was lucky enough to buy some similar bags of plastic critters back in the day and find a few rust monsters in them! (Also bulettes, land sharks). They've since been sold off as D&D collectibles. Sometimes I wish I had them back. But there are surely official, sanctioned metal versions now? Shirleylyn, I worked at TSR in 1980-81, and even then, E. Gary G., God bless him, could be less than sterling. Your husband is likely not alone in his experience. But, then, de mortuis nil nisi bonum. |

I've got one of these on order from an eBay seller and I want to paint him just like the above example! If I had a D&D character again, I'd go out of my way to obtain a baby Rust Monster as a pet and train him to go after my enemies (keeping him safely under a Rust Monster magic sweater for protection against his power at other times). |

Oh I hate those things! I was always a fighter and my DM LOVED making one of critters appear. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
