And third, if you have a better idea, make your own thread. This is about Mediczero's idea and suggestions to improve it, not replace it.

I don't care what you do with them, I'm just sure this world still has curious little creatures that will search the names when they read about them, those people will use the creatures in their future proposals, and that is all I care about.
What you do with them is up to you.
And bad-mannered creature above this post: Let me guess, you think Mediczero is a girl? So you try to protect her so she is gonna love you? Wake up please.

They only have strange names because you don't know them yet, that's why you think they are strange, but mythology has so many undiscovered jewels and pearls, that should have been just as known as Medusa and Minotaur, who also would have strange names if you just learned about them. But all mythological creatures that D&D used in the 70ties are suddenly the ones EVERYONE should use, and the ones D&D didn't find in the 70ties are all crap? Lol.
I never said anything about DnD and mythological creatures. I get a felling that for you, it is like: not-strange-name = boring and unoriginal. I was talking about that.

"From its body surface, an adhesive oil would seep out, and when it straddles the boat, it would spill a large amount of this oil on the ship, so if this is not scooped out, the boat would sink."
Very different from the House, Kitchen and Garden Sea Serpent. The oil is a very cool feature and can be replaced by adhesive tar as well.
So, you are telling me that someone cannot add creature named Sea Serpent that has the exact same abilities and look as the Ikuchi? Lol.
Rakshasa92 said:
What I meant with SIMPLE/BORING creatures is that using names like Tiger, Ninja, Samurai, Monk and stuff like that in your line-ups is very unprofessional and boring,
Quality of lineups has nothing to do with creature names. Take H3/H5 Genie/Djinn. It is the same creature but with different names. Ah, the quality was so bad in H3 because of that...lol.
BTW, I didn't know that we are all professional line-up creators, and that we must act professional.

and reminds me of the boringness of this world I have to saddle myself up with. All these people that are stuck on Wolverine, Dragons and Scorpion/Ryu and can't think past Joker, Soccer and all other overused stuff, it made me cold and sometimes cruel towards my lesser kin. ;-)
Suffering from narcissism is a blessing in this world.
That is why we are lucky to have you, to save us from this bleak boring existence

Rakshasa92: I think you're being unreasonable.
And you can stop talking to me if you want to. Because I don't want to talk to you, in any way, it does not benefit me, nor you.

@ FrostyMuadDib
Talking about difficult names and then reading your own difficult username is pretty funny.
I use Minotaurs, Gorgons, Harpies, Hydra's and many more common myth monsters in my own projects, I just think you should mix things up, and stop only using the same old boring crap i've seen million of times before, something original is welcome and also satisfies me, instead of only the boring common, soccer/wolverine crowd.
I hate the names Unicorn, Mermaid, Sea Serpent and all those easy-road names as those are in mythology just GROUP names, not creatures. There are many types of Unicorn, Mermaid and Sea Serpents in mythology, such as Karkadann/Shadhavar/Indrik/Abada (Unicorns), Siyokoy/Siren/Adaro (merfolk) and Ikuchi/Haietlik/Bakunawa/Amhuluk/Cirein Croin (Sea Serpents)
So using the basic easy names irritates me, can't help it.
I loved HOMM3, it learned me much about Manticores and some other creatuers I didn't knew back then in 1999, but now it's 2016 (almost) so now they should use new creatures, I wouldn't like an exact copy of HOMM3 now, some creatures could stay, and others should be new.
I envy the simple souls in this world, they have all the luck, every X-men movie is full of Wolverine-snow, and everyday there are 10.000 soccer/sport things on television, and when I watch a program about dinosaurs or animals, its always about the favorite dino's/animals of the common folk...(White Sharks and Tyrannosaurus Boring) while original people like me never get what they desire, because the common folk's brains can't handle that much originality.
It makes me bitter and hateful, really.

If you tried to insult me, you failed. TBH, I failed to understand what you were saying at all.

You see, this part of your post is civil and constructive. You express your opinion and give advice according to it.

And, it's gone.

Again, civil (more or less) and personal opinion.

And again, it's gone. See the pattern?
One other thing. Our little conversation went off topic, so I will stop answering to your off topic posts. And one advice, if you want something different, createve, and the way you like, you should create your own thread (or update the one you already have) and enjoy. 
EDIT:
@Mediczero
I'm sorry for polluting your thread. If you want to, I will delete my off topic posts. And one other thing: I really like that you returned to tier system, I hated Core/Elite/Champion thing.

Hope your planning to do something special with the Zodiacs (tiger for now, i guess). I always think of the one from Okami:
(for reference)
Just a normal tiger would be a bit dull...

Knowing Zero, he's probably moved on to another project:
STILL WAITING, DAMNIT!

Sorry, just got a problem with keeping myself to one thing! Honestly I haven't done anything because of a lack of inspiration...
I should probably start on that other thing too. 
And in case you are wondering, yes I'm working on something completely different. Original, classical fantasy universe. Currently discussing it with Drakon-Deus. Doesn't plan on posting anything soon though.

Let me guess.
The first enemies are Goblins and Giant Spiders.
And you see Fairies, Standard Unicorns, Standard Bears, Standard Wolves, Standard Cats, Standard Mermaids, Standard Giants, Standard Ogres, Standard Sea Serpents.
And some Minotaur, Medusa, Harpy and Hydra to add some EXTREME variety for the Wolverine-People that only recognize Giant Spiders and Goblins as enemies and all other is boring and too extreme for them.
