Hezrou:
(also one of my favorite pieces of art in the 4e era!)
In my 3e campaign the party had a very memorable encounter with a group of three Hezrou that almost ended in a TPK:
When the party was sneaking around outside of an apparently abandoned Lolth temple in the Underdark, they were spotted by a Hezrou guard.
The Hezrou summoned its allies and they teleported over to the party. Then, each combat round one of them cast a Blasphemy spell, while the rest pounded on the pcs, cast Chaos Hammer or Unholy Blight, in addition to their nasty Stench aura...
I don't even recall how they managed to withdraw from that fight without everyone dying... One of my players later told me, he considered this one of the scariest encounters in the campaign.
