Angel & Devil Phalloi
I am resisting--so far--the brilliant and nefarious suggestion of World of Warcraft themed phalloi, both because I don't want to get sued and because the world is NOT READY for little shaman phalloi dropping totems about and frost shocking with their little nubbly feet, and don't get me started on "epic mounts" in this context.
Besides, I haven't played in like two years. And also it's kinda hard to put armor on those things. And you can't just do generic armor, because then people will demand to know why you didn't put the epic purple Tier 3 Epaulets of Erection on them, or worse yet, the generic will accidentally resemble something that's warlock exclusive and this is clearly a hunter phalloi (note pet hiding behind things, trying not to make eye contact with the other pets) and what am I thinking, didn't I research this stuff at all?
Yes. These are good reasons. I will be strong. Yes.

Hee! You can't just casually mention an idea as awesome as this and then not do it ;) Shamans and totems! (edit: since I'm a first time commenter, that was totally not meant to be demanding and omgdothisNOW!!!11111fordfocus)
These things are great because while they're cute, they're also some kind of not right...but they're cute.

But I look forward to whatever phalloi you make in the future, fandom-based or not. I've personally been having WAY too much fun doing phalsonas for people. So I have to thank you for giving me the idea! I'd never have come up with it on my own, not in a million years.
I'm just not sure they meant it to go quite *there*.
Sorry, pet peeve of mine. Discretely means something else entirely.
Why am I thinking that Warren Ellis needs to see that...
I have snorted and snickered and showed these to friends. I love these little guys.
*head asplodes*
However, general Fantasy RPG Adventure phalloi would be full of win.
P.S. Angel Phallus looks very much like Sad Blue Phallus - relatives, perhaps, or did Sad Blue Phallus ascend to heaven?
If you do a priest phalloi, you can always handwave that it's a generic one; EverQuest has clerics, too, after all, so if you can find a good phalloi way to represent laying on hands, you can probably coast on "I'm not taking off on any of you; I'm doing a generic MMORPG trope!" And we all know Paladin Phalloi are best at protection.
*beth runs away, giggling*
I've always found penes to look benign and vulnerable. How they became a symbol of power is a mystery to me.

My orc warrior totally needs this armor.
Y'know, the Lawbringer Spaulders?
:D
