My campaign world features "The Great White Bulette" The creature's domain is a large land areas just west of the main campaign areas most of my campaigns start in.
The Great White Bulette is advanced to the largest dice and size for its monster class and is easily identified by its dirty white color. This bulette was put in my campaign world some 20 or so years ago and has managed to survive to this day. I have since given it the Monster of Legend template.
The creature has taken on legendary status amongst my players. Originally, I put it in my campaign as a challenge for the party but it soundly trashed that group of would be heroes. In a follow up campaign, another group of characters tried to make a name of themselves by trying to end the scourge of the Great White Bulette and got devoured to a man.
In another campaign, the characters once again tried to hunt it down (it was notorious for eating entire caravans unlucky enough to get caught passing through its hunting grounds) and when they spotted an adult red dragon "get taken" in mid air by the Great White erupting out of the ground (the dragon was flying low to get some herd animals), the party changed their minds and left.
Over the years, every now and then, a party of adventurers tried to make a name for themselves by hunting the bulette and ends up on the losing end.
Nowadays, my groups will take 8 days to go around the Great White's known hunting grounds to go to destinations in the west rather than risk the three days it would take to cross the Great White's domain.![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
Now, that's satisfaction!

Have the campaign Bad Guy shoot several out of a specially made big-@$$ barrel at the Adventuring Heroes. At some point he'll get to ask them, "I know what you're thinking: 'Did he fire six bulettes or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is what I call the 'Magnum,' the most powerful wand in the world, and it would consume your henchmen without a second thought, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punks?"

"Candygram!"
I was running a DL game where the PCs encountered a nest of chaos-mutated large ants, and I had to improvise on the spot mutant ants. I used the basic giant ants (worker, soldier), added an ant that shot spines (used the maticores stats), added a flying ant (used the gargoyles stats), added a psionic ant (don’t recall what stats I used) and added a big tanker ant (think Starcrafts Ultralisk or the Tyranids Carnifex) that I used the bullets mini and stats for.
The party consisted of about five 4th level characters and a few plainsmen barbarians and they had to fight what they called the BFG (Big F*****g Ant) and it was a very tense battle, which they barley won (lost a few plainsmen and the pc fighter got hurt bad). I had a great time using the bullet as the BFG stand it, and watching the miniature being surrounded by the PCs minis as they tried to kill it before it killed them.
