The Erinyes!

Myconids. Because nothing's better than seeing giant walking mushrooms and then getting high

As for Dragons: They are the reason, in my game worlds, that Outsiders REMAIN Oursiders.

Githyanki. Silver sword carrying, world conquering, Lich queen lovin, red dragon allied,mind flayer hatin Githyanki. Just too cool, and very scalable for a campaign.

Animal: Razor Boar
Abberation: Beholders, Great Fihyr

Dragon: Dread Linnorm

I do have newfound respect for the aboleth, especially after reading Richard Pett's "The Styes" in Dungeon magazine.

Damn that was a cool adventure. I could see running an entire campaign arc in 'The Styes.'

Back to the topic at hand (I'm stealing this idea from A'koss ):
Aberrations: Illithids and Beholders are just so... classic D&D to me. I love them both and I really want Lords of Madness to be good.
Aboleths are pretty cool too.
Flailing Dreadnoughts.
Animals: Smilodons (Sabre Tooth Tigers)
Construct: Chain Golems, those Rapier Wielding Golems from the MMII.
Dragons: Blue Dragons, Shadow Dragons, Styx Dragons, and Black Dragons. Nasty, nasty dragons.
Fey: Ragewalker. Damn this is a cool monster. Who says Fey are weak?
Fiends: Gelugons, Ice Devils, whatever you want to call them. I just really like them.
Balors. Nuff said.
Ultroloths and Nycaloths.
Giants: Frost Giants, Ogres, Death Giants, and Fire Giants.
Humanoid: Asaathi. My DM ran a whole campaign arc with these nasty buggers. I really grew to respect and hate them.
Gnolls and Hobgoblins.
Undead: Death Knights, Dracoliches, Entombed, Boneclaws, Dust Wights, Drowned, Ghouls, and Ghasts.

And...

My Favorite Monster in all of D&D - Liches.

Damn, I forgot about both ghouls and weretigers, both of which I gained great fondness for out of the 2e Monstrous Compendium (my first D&D book). And I love aboleths, but never found a good way to run them; illusion powers are tricky, and it's harder to get them out of the Underdark than, say, illithids. So I love The Styes module.

Demiurge out.

Owlbears! Because...they're nifty. Owls, but bears. The possibilities for avian vs mamillian debate are endless. Do their babies hatch from eggs, or are the chicks born live? And they're surly, but so cute and lovable, like teddy bears with Real Mauling Action. Our gaming group calls them grrhoots.

 

[Dark Jezter]

Gelatinous cube, baby!

 

[Undead Pete]

I have two favorites, polar opposites of each other: the Tarrasque and the Flumph

I mated them ONCE
