So many indelible images. The Fire Giant and Storm Giant. The Intellect Devourer. And [for sheer trauma value] the Rot Grub.

The Masher. Just fucking with you... it's still the Succubus. I saw it the other day and it still made me happy.

I have to go with the Bugbear. I love goblinoids with skinny chicken legs and fat bellies.

Whittling it down from Baalzebul, Efreeti, Gray Ooze, Lich, Wereboar, Treant and Wyvern, I would go with Gray Ooze and Treant because they are the most evocative of Basic and OD&D. Choosing from those two, I would say Gray Ooze sets the best mood.

So, what you are saying is that you like those two the best because they remind you of a version of D&D other than AD&D?

Nah, I would say that they capture the essence of D&D best and remind me of the wonder I felt when I first began playing the game. Or something like that...
