What is your favortie AD&D monster or mythological monster creature thing?

I really like Chimeras.They are awesome.

Dragons. They're challenging, scary and drop good items.

Only been playing AD&D for about a year, so I'm still not to familiar with ALL the monsters. But my favorite mythology monsters have always been chimera, manticore, gargoyles, and centaurs.
I'll add more to the list after looking through the monster books, some more.

EDIT: In the 3rd edition monster manual, I like arrowhalk, couatl, dragonne, and lillends. In monster manual 2, the only ones I like all that much are desmodu and catoblepas.
The pictures of the monsters in the 3rd edition books are drawn much different from the ones in the 2nd edition book.

I'm not sure, I could list a bunch that I find fascinating; the tarrasque just to name one.

Something that I've been thinking about since earlier this morning, are harpies demonic bird/women that lure men with their tantalizing songs (as suggested in ID2), or are they really just hideous creatures with sharp claws, a horrendous face, and a taste for human flesh (from a movie we watched in Latin)..?

Beholders. They're cute.

I still like kobolds, cant explain it...

I'm want to know how you came to this conclusion. LMAO! :D I like dragons. They give tough fights, usually drop good items, (except for NWN) give lots of exp,(again except for NWN) and there are good and evil dragons.

Looks like it was made out of play dough.

aqutic elves, cause i like to say aquatic elves

i like giants, and a few others too. I don't have my monsters manual, i never played pnp but that was an intresting read, ever wonder the ecology of zombie or amobeleth

DRIDERS!

I like xvarts. I don't know why, there's just something about them that appeals strongly. I think it's the fact that they are blue and are very quick to shout obscenities.

<font color="cadetblue">Xvarts were so annoying in BG1 at the beginning. I was trying to get some item and they kept killing my party :( </font>

The Tarrasque or liches. Both are cool, esp. teh first.

Death Knights. Because they're so pleasant to be around.

Death Knight is a rank here? I'm likin' this place more all the time.

Dragons are AWESOME!!!

Ide probably have to say a dracolich or a demilich what can I say i like the undead

Ah, now I understand why you sleep in a coffin.. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
(You do realize that a demilich is a good-aligned undead wizard, don't you?)

I like the Kobolds ;) in baldurs gate1 i just like how the do there little hop to get around it looks so funny. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

I like my dad who is a 37000 year old bealnorn :D

Minatuars (if there are minataurs in ad&d) they're real cool [img]graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Beholders are cool i like them! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Medusas

Very difficult to battle without being turned into a trophy for the garden.

Easy

I'd have to say Phoenixes. They resseruction factor makes them almost indestructable!! Unless they get hit by water..

Now enough with 2 fat people eating grass in front of the white hous...
