edit: Sorry for the inane reply - there was not a poll when I first posted on the thread. Still how can you not vote for German Hamburger?

I went with the Gelatinous Cube as theirs nothing like having your life threatened by Jello.

Ah yes, the gelatinous cube . . . a monster bred for the 10'x10' passageways of dungeons. I too voted for the G.C., Gygax's answer to Lovecraft's Shoggoth.

Since Flumph wasnt on the list, i had to go with the monster that has been a giant part of my campaign, the Gelatinous cube. One of the PCs in my game has a mini cube as a familiar. It's name is Smuckers =)

LOL. That's awesome.

I had to go with the rust monster. There's nothing like a monster that can't do a single point of damage but scares the crap outta most adventurers!

Gelatinous Cube, Green Slime, and Rot Grubs rank up there pretty high with me too.

I voted Beholders. But really my heart goes out to the gelatinous cubes, rust monsters, and owlbears. Down with mind flayers!

I voted Mind Flayer, since it's the only one IMHO that you can write something about, or even have a whole campaign evolve around a single one as a villain or a whole group.

Every other monster in the list is somehow disposable dungeon junk Well, it's useful indeed, it's just that I never managed to do much else with them except a quick fight in the middle of a dungeon (or forest). The beholder is definitely a D&D signature monster, but I never liked too much its computergame-like array of stuff.
