In probably one of the <a href="http://www.lotro.com/gameinfo/devdiaries/266-developer-diary-new-monster-creation">most entertaining dev diaries</a> we've ever read, <a href="http://www.turbine.com">Turbine</a>'s Tim "Raskolnikov" Lang gives us a look into what is involved with creating the new creatures in <a href="http://www.lotro.com/moria"><em>Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria</em></a>, and more on the upcoming changes arriving with the expansion.<br /><br />The entire monster creation process is explained step-by-step, which would ordinarily be extremely boring, yet "Man-Bat", as Lang is affectionately called, provides a humorous Q&amp;A throughout the entire diary. That certainly doesn't mean that this eight-page article isn't packed with useful info though, as it gives us plenty of new information on the upcoming monster features we have to look forward to in <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/mines-of-moria">Moria</a></em>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/11/06/turbine-breaks-out-with-the-funny-in-the-latest-moria-dev-diary/">Turbine breaks out with the funny in the latest Moria dev diary</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 06 Nov 2008 18:00:00 EST.
