Elpis made me think of a cool concept
The idea of creation made me think, wouldnt it be cool if we could come to Elpis and create our own monsters, using minion assets, and maybe even battle them similar to pet battles in WoW?
In FFXI they had monstrosity where you could become the creatures within the game, i know it would probably be a big ask, but i feel like that would be such a cool little minigame to implement using the lore.
My concept would be an allotted amount of Aether to spend creating the creature, then you would pick from different bodies, heads, tails, feet, etc (think of it basically being an armor slot) then you could pick a couple of specialties/perks like flying or aquatic, and all of it costs a certain amount of aether. Then battle/train them against NPCs, or eventually even other players. Just a quick little write up, im sure others could think of way cooler features and ways to upgrade and the like to make it more fleshed out, but i wanted to at least post it
