What is your favorite monster?

[presumed_druid]

Humans can do nearly anything... It's hard to beat the versatility and volatility.

Rust monster. Player's hate 'em. 'nuff said.

A red dragon is a sure-fire way to bring any game to a boil.

Vampires can be so inherently charming that it's hard not to enjoy portraying one.

Snakes for hair? Don't look in her eyes! Oh no... it's a medusa!

 

[presumed_druid]

It's only cool once (well maybe twice ), but gas spores hold fond memories for me

 

[KingOfChaos]

Undead of all types, especially Liches Hags are also excellent villains.

 

[Corinth]

Orcs are my favorite monster by far.

 

[Enceladus]

Trolls

All kinds of trolls. Love 'em.

That Thought Stalker from the Banewarrens is just nasty.

For humanoid types, Lizardmen, Gnolls, and and Hobgoblins, paticularly Lizardmen. Not only are they cool, but they've got that whole amoral neutrality thing that I love to play with.
Character1: Die evil reptilian wretches!
Character2: Lizardmen aren't evil man, they must have a reason for doing this, we should talk to them.
Character1: But.... they ate Bob!...like 5 seconds ago.
Character2: Oh right, like you weren't thinking about it too, besides who knows when they last ate?
Character1: Ah screw it, I'm going to go find some orcs, lets get out of here.

Arcanoloths! Fuzzy, evil, manipulative little b@st@rds that we are.


But I must admit to having a soft spot in my black little heart for tieflings, githzerei, and well... mephits! (Mephits do make such cute squeals when you do mean things to them).

Had a lot of fun with lizardmen and danger at dunwater.

VAMPIRES are killer! All-time favorite, yes!

After vampires come Iron Liches, courtesy of the Iron Kingdoms...

Heh.

I used it on my players when they were about third level. They killed it three times then ran away.

... which was a wise move. They'd already completed their mission - it was just guarding a chest in the wight-priest's quarters. If they'd insisted on smacking it repeatedly just to get the loot, they deserved whatever they got...

Still remember the looks on their faces...

[whallop!]

"Well, that wasn't so hard. Okay, so I head over to the chest, and..."

Mrrrrrr-oooooow...

"What do you mean? Isn't it dead?"



-Hyp.

Do you know of any 3e conversion for this lovely little beast ?
I'd love to use it on my PCs

[edit]
back to the topic:
I love Dragons (especially blue ones) and liches (not the 3e version that I think doesn't fit very well the "ultimate undead wiz" concept I love) as villains.
As monsters, I like intelligent undeads and shapechangers. I mostly use humanoids.
