Your favourite monsters in MMIV

Hi,

I've had MMIV since it came out and so far have only used a couple of monsters from it: the greathorn minotaur and the justice archon.

Which ones have you used or do you like the look of?

Cheers

I have not used the book yet but creatures I am looking to use first include:

Inferno spider
Redspawn Fire Belcher

Blackspawn Exterminator

and the map on page 23 of the Grand Tomb.

Combo magma / Khyber Pit area and large catacomb tombs of Giants. However, my players planejumped away unexpectedly.
 

Briarvex, craa'ghoran (evil artists), all the spiders, lunar ravager (interesting take on the predator theme), skiurid (evil squirrels is never a bad thing), quanlos, varag (interesting hybrid), verdant prince and wizened elder. If there was some more information on how they manipulate others, I would have added the zern.
 

Although I haven't gotten to use it yet: Vitreous Drinker. REALLY creepy concept, and I love the spectral ravens. Although when it shows up in my game its going to look more like the Corinthian from Sandman than the thing pictured. More horrific that way I think.
 

Deathdrinker, kastighur demon, clockwork steeds, corruptor of fate yugoloth, inferno spiders. That's about it. Oh, and a whisper demon.

I guess I like the demons. Deathdrinker is especially well designed for such a high-CR beast, but I suspect I'll never use the reworked orcs, orges, and so forth.
 

I recently used some Defacers in an adventure. The earthglide and spring attack was a constant thorn in the party's side. And the stunning possession [where the victim takes on the the shape of one of the defacer's victims] provided some nice ambience to a semi-Halloween themed game.

The Zern synergise nicely with plans I have had for bio-engineering villains ala Beast Lords of Kham (Liber Bestarius.)

Creepy indeed! I'd completely forgotten about the Corinthian. Need to reread Sandman one of these days!
