As a GM, which monster do you find the most difficult to role-play?

[Tonguez]

I think of the smooth talking deal making manipulators as the arch devils. Most rank and file MM devils are the legions of hell, lawful order-taking soldiers of different types.

Yeah thats another DnD trope which is a bit diabolical really. Devils are all about temptation and offering irrestible bargains that cost your immortal soul but the stats and art make them all battle beast ready to rend your flesh.

Has anyone ever tried using a Rukarazyll in a campaign?

Honestly for me it's whatever monsters don't immediately intrigue me with their standard lore. However, half the time I end up changing the lore for a lot of these creatures that then makes me appreciate their standard lore more over time (even if I like my new lore more).

All of them once we're in combat. I find I can focus too much on the mechanics of the creatures and less on their personality when I'm trying to manage a battle.
