Least Favorite Monster

[Mondkalb]

Too late!

Gothmog is my most hated unique - he's killed two of my most promising characters.

[Fenrir]

You know, I'm surprised nobody has even mentioned Morgoth.

He's the only monster that anyone actually wants to kill. Except maybe Wormtongue. Everyone else is just an obstacle.

He is an ---hole, though, no doubt about it. Killed the hell out of me the only time I fought him, 'cept in Tinyband.

And Sauron. The thing with the "bosses" is you shouldn't be taken by surprise - you KNOW which levels they are on, and can prepare accordingly.

Except that with the bug in the current version, you don't have to kill Sauron and you can keep going way past 100 if you want

After playing awhile on the current comp (Steamband), White Fang is rising pretty high on my list... like an uber version of the Maggot dogs.

Have you had the pleasure of Spring Heeled Jack's company?

He dusted my 'best ever' practice character, in a single turn, just when I was beginning to build a little confidence. Somewhere about DL45. He breathed. I died. 100+ damage (even with 40% resistance).

Advance warning - the Marquis de la Tour and the Queen of Hearts both deal out massive single round damage. Approach with caution.

No warning necessary. I learned my lesson. I approach the Four of Hearts with caution.

I hold a grudge against Cave Spiders for all the characters of mine they killed in my early days of playing, across Angband and just about every single variant, spanning over a decade. I've become a cautious enough player to deal with them one way or another now so they aren't much of a menace anymore, but when I see the pack of black Ss I still scowl.

Moaning Spirits are annoying too, they have a habit of sapping the DEX of my early-game characters who often haven't got See Invisible then, and don't have loads of cash to be splashing out on Restore potions.

Anything that has Time attacks is annoying and to be hated.

Qulythulgs summoning summoners, then blinking away just as you get close enough to hit them... *hate*

I will append this with Nexus Qulythulgs, which teleport me across the map about 9 times in 10 as soon as I am within line of sight >_<

[Shin Majin]

I loathe the Greater Hell Beasts that appear in some variants...

IMHO, no game should have invincible monsters that exist soley to spam harmless attacks and irritate the player.

I also hate Gumband's Kobold Shamans...low depth summoners who can summon other Kobold Shamans...

They're like breeders, but much, much worse.

[Sirridan]

Giant white louse, or zephyr hounds... depends on my mood.

Mass banishment 'Z' .. every level.
