    Credits to Envy for putting the idea in my head.

    Requirements:

    Usage (Automatic1111):

    • install the Dynamic Prompts extension if you haven't

    • unpack this file into ..\stable-diffusion-webui\extensions\sd-dynamic-prompts\wildcards

    • enable dynamic prompts in the ui

    • add __monster_composer__ to the positive prompt (two underscores first and last, one in the middle)

    • hit generate and enjoy

    • this resource is intended for sdxl as the wildcard produces full (hopefully entertaining) sentences which work better with xl (and to make matters worse intentionally contains words that the ai will NOT understand, but still try to make sense of 馃ぃ), it also makes use of artist keywords that may not work in sd1.5. If you use it in sd1.5 anyway I guarantee for nothing. I haven't tested it and please do not come complaining about bad quality. That is on you in that case.

    • it might be worth putting (human:1.x), (humanoid:1.x) in the negative prompt if you prefer the weird and wondrous (i mean to the Vogons they're probably beasts, too) :p

    Version 1.4:

    • expanded main file

    • art styles of certain games might appear

    • increased name variety

    • once again some things renamed and reorganized > delete the old stuff first

    I would love to see the stuff you create with this, so if you post your monsters here or under Envy's Silly Monster Wildcards, that would be much appreciated (might be difficult to find else). :)

    Description

    • expanded main file

    • expanded vogon "vocabulary"

    • Silly Monster Wildcards by _Envy_ now integrated and expanded with permission (thanks again 馃槉)

    • files renamed and reorganized to keep a better overview for myself (so if you want to keep it all tidy, delete the old vogonic_guide folder first as usual, there will be ghost files else)

    This is so much fun. Also looks like it's way more detailed and elaborate than the previous version.

    Anyway, it keeps me entertained for hours and sorry for spamming your gallery but it keeps turning out awesome images!

    Any chance to fix it to work in Comfy? For some reason __monster_composer__ doesn't resolve things properly, __vogonic_guide/guide-artist-mix__ doesn't get replaced by artists, it just stays like that in the prompt..

    You need a specific node to resolve wildcards in Comfy. You might want to try this node here. After installing doubleclick in the workflow and search random prompts, replace your regular prompt node with that one and put in the prompt like usual with __monster_composer__ somwhere.

    I've discovered through much testing the node "Dynamic Prompt" no longer works in the current version of Comfyui. To resolve this issue, make sure you install the "Comfyui-Impact-Pack" in comfyui manager or just use this link - https://github.com/ltdrdata/ComfyUI-Impact-Pack

    Make sure to make a wildcards folder in that custom_node/comfyui-Impact-pack folder - like this

    custom_node/comfyui-impact-pack/wildcards

    This resolved the issue of the wildcards not loading, discontinue using dynamic-prompts until the developer corrected the 38+ issues they have waiting for them (you'll be SOL - because the developer doesn't respond nor care to fix their custom node's.)

    @OneViolentGentleman聽Hey there, it's been a while, sadly since the updates to comfyui, the Dynamic-prompts node no longer works. The last update for the node was 2 years ago. I've tried reaching out to the developer but no response. I'll be trying to get it to work again in other wildcard nodes and will repost back here with my findings in the next few days.

    @ZUSIMO聽Ah, dang it. Thanks for the heads-up.

    ZUSIMOApr 13, 20251 reaction

    @OneViolentGentleman聽You're welcome. It really is unfortunate that the monster-composer main file does not work in ImpactPack (LtDrData) even though they argue that nested wildcards DO work. I cannot argue with stupid. Esp when I provided the screenshots to them of the fact that it IS not working. I'm going to try getting a LLM to re-write the original comfyui node to see if it can be updated to the latest integration of the app.
