No Kronos?
Wait, only 1 screenshot out of 10 Giant Monsters? There's going to be a disproportionate number of screenshots of the more frequent spawning monsters such as Lusca.
I've got pictures of all the monsters. It was like Pokemon for me in the game, gotta catch em all!!

Wait... You're telling me there is a Ballista Giant Monster?!?!?!

Can you do this with demo playback and have them all doing the cancan in one big show girl row?

You're kidding, right?
I've been playing the game for over two years, and I still haven't even SEEN half of the ones on that list. And that's including time spent JUST LOOKING FOR THEM.
Kraken, Jurassik, Babbage (boomtown version)
I've only seen Eochai, Jack-in-Irons, and Adamastor ONCE.
And we're supposed to get good screenshots in ONE WEEK?
Please tell me you're going to have them up the spawn frequency on those by a factor of 10. Please.

I'm pretty sure there are several people with some screens of those GMs they took awhile back. I know I've got some.

There's an event with a Ballista in St. Martiel. He's still an elite boss, with a set level...but it's an event.
Also, Eochai is the pumpkin king.
Unfortunately, all the pictures of giant monsters I have include players

AHA! That explains it.....I was runngin around in St.Matrial, and I see this Elite Boss jsut standing around, with a few longbow around him. I had never seen one outside a mission before, and figured he was part of an ambush. My team killed him without much thought. No Badge or anything though.
I know its not what you asked for.
But it looks cool anyway.

It is possible, not easy but possible. I've managed to have pictures and encounters with all 10 on various alts and I'm not even close to hardcore as some other players. I play alot but not everyday over one year and half subscription.

Only the Giant Monster can be in the photo no player characters. Photos that contain player characters will not be considered. Background imagery is fine, but it cannot take the focus off the Giant Monster. Only one picture can be submitted per person, please.

No people in the picture? Guess this one's out too.
o.o;; err....

Nope. Ruladak (the mad) is in the lineup. The gigantic dude next to Hamidon is Rularru.
Giant Monsters: we all love to hate them. Well, maybe not Sally!
Sometimes these Giant Monsters they find us without warning. But finding them isnt always easy; the task can be difficult for even the greatest of hunters. Do you ever catch a glimpse of one? Well, if you do, we want to see some proof!
We need screenshots of the following Giant Monsters:
City of Heroes:
Kraken (Perez Park)
Babbage (Boomtown)
Adamastor (Dark Astoria)
Jurassik (Crey's Folley)
Eochai (Croatoa)
Jack-in-Irons (Croatoa)
Sally (Croatoa)
Paladin (Kings Row)
Ghost Ship (Talos Island and Independence Port)
Lusca (Independence Port)
City of Villains:
Deathsurge (Cap au Diable)
Ghost of Scrapyard (Sharkhead Isle)
Caleb (Nerva Archipelago)
Ballista (St. Martial)
The Nitty Gritty
Notice that the zone location of each Giant Monster is mentioned in parenthesis. Only the zone mobs count for this project and screenshots of any other version will not be accepted. For example: the Task Force Babbage is a mission mob, not a zone mob. The only Babbage that counts is the one that spawns in Boomtown.
Ballista and Ghost Ships are not technically Giant Monsters but hey they are special, and they are on this list!
Only the Giant Monster can be in the photo no player characters. Photos that contain player characters will not be considered. Background imagery is fine, but it cannot take the focus off the Giant Monster. Only one picture can be submitted per person, please.
The style of the image is up to you. The Giant Monster can be in action, orperhaps you took a secret snapshot without ever causing a stir. The more interesting it is, the better! It does have to be a clear, easily recognizable image that can be used for easy identification purposes.
DO take a crisp, clean, high-res image.
DO NOT photoshop the picture (minor cropping is ok).
DO NOT include the UI.
DO NOT manipulate the picture.
