This little level 12 4E skirmisher was inspired by my recent west-coast USA trip, along with the lack of aquatic critters in 4E. Like many of my recent critters, he has spines, nature's way of saying "screw you." ;)

I've had trouble nailing down roles for some of my critters, the sculpin included. His recharging ability is pure skirmisher, but having a go-to ranged spinefire with accompanying tactics seems to set him up as artillery.

Likewise, none of my monsters end up being brutes, unless I set out to limit them to that right from the get-go, as I did with my terrifying entry to YMIAT's Hallow's Eve contest. (Even then it was a challenge not to add those delicious controller-esque or soldier-ish abilities...) Even my soldiers have lurker qualities, like the Giant Octopus's camouflage.

*shrugs* I just gotta be me. Do you ever have trouble pinning down the right role for your custom critters? Are brutes boring?
