Well, Sir Squid is the oldest adventurer in the universe.  He has quite a reputation and Mr. Vertigo would have probably heard about him someplace previously.  He's a pretty good go-to-hero when you need something done.

As for the beast, I always had a giant troll in mind.  I forgot to specify that.

I would imagine that one of the large trolls like this one would work best, rather than a brick-built one.

Great idea.  I always love finding creative uses for unusual bricks (which is why I have the tendency to stick my Han Solo Carbonite Bath brick somewhere in many of the sets I build for my brickfilms).

Still, while these would be easier to animate, I still would like to see more brick-build creatures in brickfilms.  The Rancor would work quite well as a Golem, I suppose, but I was originally thinking of coming up with a brick-built one.

Honestly, I think the old Rock Raiders rock monsters would work better for rock golems than the Rancor.

And about that villain I was talking about....

Unnamed Villain
Nofig really knows where this despicable minifigure came from, but he never seems to go away without coming back. This particular villain suffers from OCD (Obsessive-compulsive Disorder), so he tries to make his plans perfect. Unfortunately for him, usually his plans can be predicted due to their uniformity and repetition. This is caused by his obsession to the number 3 (especially 3 sets of 3), and other certain aspects that normally show up in his plans (not quite sure what these should be yet).

There is room for improvement, and I'm open to any suggestions and what-not.

As far as I know those Rock Raider monsters have no points of articulation anywhere and are just one big lump of plastic, so it would probably be impossible to animate it convincingly.  I don't own one anyway, though, so I personally couldn't try animate one even if I wanted to.

That's an interesting villain idea, too; it reminds me a  bit of The Riddler from Batman.  Do you know what he/she/it would look like?  Maybe it could have an extra mechanical arm, or be three-headed... just a really weird random idea.

Anyway, I agree we should probably not get too distracted by talking about Golems and whatnot--though one can often get some good ideas by occasionally going off on a tangent and having random conversations.

I'll see if I can take a stab at making a brick-built Golem or Troll (depending on whether I find the time, with Skewl starting again and all).

a) This sounds great.

b) Go to the Gallery section. This is all very similar to how I originally imagined the BFCU. Just saw it five minutes ago and thought I'd share it. hope y'all enjoy it!

Time travel, while fun and cool, would unnecessarily complicate things.
I guess it could work if it were kept in it's own separate timestream, but trying to keep all that straight would be a nightmare.

I may try to slip my Captain Obvious/Ax universe into this, but that's all I got.
No cool characters, wizards or monsters I'm afraid.

No, we can use the idea of tear from Bioshock, also I understand time travel is kind of overuse.
I know, we trying come with something new, but it would be fine to use some idea from books, movies, and video games.

I understand, I seen Series 5 before I play Bioshock.

I kind of agree that the rancor would be better to use as a rock monster, then the rock monsters from Rock Raider or Power  Miner.
