    Favorite Monster

    Just out of curiosity, what are everyone's favorite entry in the Monster Manual? There are practically an infinite number to choose from, but list your favorite (or at least one of) here!

    Mine happens to be the Nimblewright. Technically from MMII, but hey, who's counting?



    NIMBLEWRIGHT

    Nimblewrights are humanoid constructs of strong, light metal. Their construction favors flexibility and speed over durability, but high end nimblewrights are terrifyingly power. They have twin rapiers attached to their hands when needed, and can cast haste at will.

        Night Twist. Night Twist isn't my favorite, but it's a pretty cool monster that I encountered in one of my PNP campaigns. Was cool.

          Oh... more stuff to torture players with... great idea!
          The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

              Going along with Mach's idea of odd shark-like things...



              DnD really needs to add in really random things like this.

                          Well, you could implement the Crysmal:
                          It will attack anyone who has a gem on him/her to devour it.

                              Black Dragon

                              Ah the Black Dragon quite possibly the coolest monster in the Monster Manual... I just don't know how any one could not want this in there game .




                              Black Dragon
                               Black dragon are sometimes known as skull dragons because of their skeletal faces. Adding to the skeletal impression is the gradual deterioration of the hide around the base of the horn and the cheekbones. This deterioration increases with age and does not harm the dragon. On hatching, a black dragon’s scales are thin, small, and glossy. As the dragon ages, they become larger, thicker, and duller, helping it camouflage itself in swamps and marshes.

                              Snippet from the Draconomicon
                              Black dragons are among the most evil-tempered true dragons. They prefer dismal swamps or bogs, the more stagnant and fetid the better, but can be encountered anywhere water and dense vegetation are found together-including jungles,rain forests, and moors. They have no natural enemies, though they attack and kill almost anything unfortunate enough to stumble upon them......

                              Black dragons are especially fond of coins. Older dragons sometimes capture and question humanoids about stockpiles of gold, silver, and platinum coins before killing them.....
