Alternatively, parse that differently: it tears apart <i>claws</i>, and is poison- making it some variety of inedible starfish. Oh, if your count is from that Feedburner box I just noticed, then I'm not counted in that 300- I subscribe to the feed directly. “Poison Claw Ripper”- sure, you could just make up some monster with venomous pincers that tears victims apart.

Phil/ippe? Chatty? D'you have a preference?) Your monster descriptions have me chuckling! I wrote that as satire, not of monster mechanics but of naming style, but it's even better if people actually put it to use! Sprinkle lightly with descriptors like blast, laser, neutron, droid, and mutant and it should work for SF/post-apocalypse games too...

As for your monster I'd say it's an elemental whose's Ice and Fire interface creates a melting foam that surrounds the monster and causes opponents to be slowed while it slams you with a Fire attack with a followup Cold slam attack Hey this is fun!
