October 27th 2019, 7:16:38 pm a day ago prokopetz If I was going to put the Horrible Goose in a D&D game, I wouldn't make it some big high-CR threat it'd just be a regular goose that's capable of regular goose stuff, with three significant exceptions: 1. It can show up anywhere, even if there's no reasonable way for it to have gotten there. 2. It seems to have limited ontological intertia. If the players imprison it, it vanishes from its prison when they're not looking. If they kill it, another goose shows up eventually. It'd be impossible to prove that it's always the same goose, save for the third notable trait... 3. ...namely, that it doesn't show up in divinations. Like, at all. Predictions don't take it into account. Scrying on its location reveals an empty room. Spells that would detect it or read its mind act like there's no valid target present. If the cleric communes with their god and asks about it, their god hass no idea what the cleric is talking about. It might take some doing to arrange for the players to become aware of this property, so don't force it - the opportunity will arise! There we go. No goofy boss monster tricks, yet it's guaranteed to drive your players nuts not even by harassing them, necessarily, but just by existing as they try to figure out what it means, particularly once they learn of the third trait discussed above. battlecrazed-axe-mage I hate it. It's going in every game I run forever Source: prokopetz

Adding to it, I found something on Reddit that could be fun to mess with the players:

As you're walking through the forest, the sky goes dark as a massive genie appears in the sky.

"SPEAK YOUR WISH AND I SHALL GRANT IT." He says. An echoing honk could be heard.

"YOUR WISH IS GRANTED. FAREWELL." The genie says as he vanishes. Following where the genie came from you see a normal goose standing next to an empty lamp staring at the group. Everything else seems normal but you feel something is off regardless.
