A waste of statistics and an illustrators time.

Drow. What a waste of time.

On a serious note, the flumph is useless, but we all know that. It is so useless, it actually inverts its uselessness into a cult following.

But useless none the less.

Armand from MMIII. Just plain dumb!.

Rasts, Tojanidas, Xorn, and most other creatures that are grossly asymetical and serve no real purpose that fifty other creature don't already fill.

Except Athachs. Cause they're cool.

I like Athachs. They make perfect Crystalmancers (See book-Crystalmancy: The Powers of Gems)

But Rasts? Tojanidas? Xorn? I think we need these monsters as non-Celestial/Infernal/Abyssal outsiders.

 

[Chroma]

I dislike the Ravid... and why does it have Multi-Attack as a bonus feat?!

The Spider Eater seems pointless to me... let's make a hornet-like creature with a spider's head, but not make it "vermin"...

I do like the Tojanida though... seems appropriate as an intelligence from the Plane of Water instead of always getting finned/scaled humanoids.

beholder* *yes I know they are popular, but I think they are stupid none the less.

I have to agree with DMH, although the beholder is a classic D&D monster, it is a rather silly concept for a creature. You might as well just hit the party with a randomly manifesting prismatic spray spell effect. In the old Spelljammer CS there was a race of dragon-centaurs called the drakon which, in their race's flavour text, considered beholders comical and made fun of them by calling them by a word that, in their language, meant "kick-ball". I always had a strange fondness for the drakon after I read that.

Personally I think the many varieties of oozes, slimes and jellies are redundant. I mean how many kinds of acidic ambulatory oil puddles do you need in a campaign?

Rasts, Tojanidas, Xorn, and most other creatures that are grossly asymetical and serve no real purpose that fifty other creature don't already fill.

I would heartily argue against the notion that Tojanidas serve no purpose. They appear to have but a single purpose:

To piss me off.

And they serve it oh so well.

Name fifty other creatures that can fill that void.

But now, thanks to Clay, I know what to do when I next encounter one. I'm gonna say, "Tojanida? You're the biggest turd in the Monster Manual!"

Actually I think I'm going to start saying that to everyone who pisses me off from now on! "Slow clerk at the post office? You're the biggest turd in the Monster Manual!"

Sweet!

What is the most useless monster?

see Monster Manual 2.....

The Denzellian from the 1E Fiend Folio always made me feel like I was being robbed.

Number of attacks: Nil
Damage per attack: Nil
Special Attacks: Nil
Alignment: neutral
Intelligence: Semi

What exactly was this thing for. Oh yes...and the picture was of a featureless blob.
