This
time, I'm going to have to go with a cliché: my favorite monster is
the dragon. They're the ultimate monster, as far as I'm concerned.
Dragons
are not only monstrously powerful in a physical sense, with their
claws, breath weapon, and massive jaws, but they're also intelligent
and, in most editions, natural spellcasters. Great wyrm dragons are
incredibly scary monsters because not only can they eat an adventurer
in a single bite, but they can also cast high-level spells, possibly
incapacitating entire parties with spells like Power Word, Kill or
Mage's Disjunction.
I'll
have a longer post up in a few days or so detailing a lot more about
dragons, their lairs, and items they may value in their hoards, but
for now, I think it's worth mentioning that there is a reason dragons
are in the name of the game. These are classic “boss” monsters,
and they should be treated as such.
