Reskinning Monster Generator: Humanoids

Going for something wacky to try and provide you with some inspiration/ideas for reskinned monsters to provide some "fresh" experiences for even your veteran players. "What's that humanoid!" is a great, pokemon-esque game that players secretly play at the table if they are unsure what it is. You will be pleasantly surprised at how pleasantly surprised your players will be when you start incorporating these into your adventures!
