Welcome to the boards, chi master. May your journey through the Gael Serran be enjoyable, enlightening, and entertaining.

IMHO, the salads are the hardest monsters, based on where you meet them and what they can do to you.

But for the hardest monsters to kill, I'd go for a couple that you're not really supposed to kill -- the leprechaun and Oakenmir.

The leprechaun makes the list because the daft git keeps running away (or sending you away). Hours of "Come here so I can hit you" are the result.

Oakenmir is on there because it takes so bloody long to take him out. If you have a low-level party, you're toast long before he knows he's scratched. With a high level party (mine was about level 50 the only time I took him out), you get to enjoy the extra friends he brings along, but you can still get wasted away.

Note that I don't endorse wiping Oakenmir or other NPC-type monsters. I prefer to strike only when struck.
