Looking for monster recommendations for my game.

Hi. My RPG Big Big Trouble in Little Tokyo has been in development for about half a year now and I have only had 2 downloads unfortunately so it is difficult to get feedback. It is intended to be a combination of Earthbound, Phantasy Star, and Dragon Quest combined. I was hoping to make wacky, zany monsters for the game but it is difficult to come up with ideas on my own. In Earthbound you fight against businessmen and hippies. I want modern enemies like these. So far I have the Funky Dog, Toxic Puddle, Mutant Rat, Ooze the alien brain, Tex-Mex Snake, Protocol Droid, and the Creepy Clown. Please recommend some monsters for me and I will try to put them in the game and even mention your name in the credits. You can see videos of the monsters on my YouTube Channel at

Those 3 games you mentioned have various fantasy enemies in their own way. But alright, let's focus on Earthbound style enemies which has some fantasy enemies despite being in modern world.

My recommended enemies are:

1. Bad Biker (bicycle rider with bad look)

2. Rowdy Roach

3. Trash Knight (knight wearing trash bin as armor and shield)

4. Bat Man (punk wearing black cat mask armed with bat)

5. Brawl Ball (big evil ball with pattern similar to soccer ball or basket ball)

6. Tricky Tree (large tree which attacks using magic)

7. Joust Biker (bicycle rider with jousting lance)

8. Shovel Man (punk wearing horned helmet armed with shovel), friend of Bat Man

I could think of more but that's for now.

Thank you so much for your recommendations! These enemies would go great in the game! I didn’t even think of the roach or using a garbage can as armor! One idea that I had that was similar to yours is the Brawl Ball. I thought of the Fly Ball, which attacks you near some kind of stadium in the game. I think the game should depict the player encountering the ball by getting hit with it and the ball using baseball-style attacks like “The Fly Ball throws a curve!” Or “The Fly Ball throws a sinker!” I’m going to use your ideas and make the new enemies and put your name in the game close to the intro. ^_^ I think I will put a small baseball stadium in the Amusement Park in the game…and I can incorporate Bat Man and Shovel Man into the story. Maybe the main character, Nakamura, gains a bat and a shovel by defeating these two characters. The name bat man is a good play on words for the character Batman and the Tricky Tree would be good because there are many trees in the game. I’ll get right on it!

13. Gadget Guy (man casting spell using his cellphone or gadget)

14. Gadget Gal (woman casting spell using her gadget or phone)

Hey, DarkBloodbane! I added one of your enemies, the Rowdy Roach to my game, Big Big Trouble in Little Tokyo! Here are videos of your name in the credits as well as the Rowdy Roach battle. I hope to add more of the enemies you requested soon!

Thanks! I’m definitely going to work on the Rowdy Roach first. I’ll let you know when it’s done. That one is perfect for my game. Also, Gadget Guy and Gal sound cool because they attack using modern technology. If I put some cardboard boxes in this one factory area of my game I could try to implement the box enemies you mentioned.
