I don't have a favorite, because I don't take pleasure in killing PCs because I'm not a sociopath that takes advantage of his friends to live out his small dick power fantasies of absolute control.
Aww, keep crying on the internet because that totally doesn't make you look like a giant, moronic pussy. My friends like to be challenged, I'm sorry your friends are complete homos

Youre both insufferable homosexuals for different reasons.
Greater shadows.
Incorporeal, touch attack for 1d8 Strength.
Instead of having PCs with obnoxious armor class you can hit their touch AC which is likely dogshit (not always, but more often) and rip the shit out of them.
Also immune to a lot of Save-or-die shit.
really great for putting dick-ass wizards in their place.
I used this guy once as part of a wilderness encounter table. Worked well. The party ignored all the obvious 'this guy is fricked' signs and he went apeshit in the middle of their camp.
Killed a PC and 2 hirelings before they took him out.
They ended up with his horse, the rites of passage and a coffin full of index fingers he was carting around. Changed that bit, seemed to fit better. The magic user's corrupt familiar kept eating random fingers and trying to get the magic user to get into the coffin for secret knowledge. The Man was going to reappear and get his horse back but they sold it.
>Mister Man somehow managed to convince nuns into prostitution, pollute the water supply as thoroughly as industrial-revolution Ohio, convince a man to count to infinity, drag an angry mob from the next country over, haul a ship all this way, personally kill over two dozen sheep, magically create two new creatures, and change the landscape >without having any magic powers besides resurrective immortality
>Satan can be beaten down by regular OSR adventurers, then asphyxiated or beheaded with only a little more difficulty than it would take for a normal guy with fighting man levels
Sounds like a pretty weak Adversary, god should try harder next time.

Succubus, all day, every day.
They never learn, it's like watching a mouse not only walk into the trap but then accuse others of being evil for pointing out the trap.
I sometimes throw a banshee bomb into combat randomly to keep people on their toes >fighting giant spiders in a dungeon >turn 2 a banshee flies through the wall and takes the dodge action, opening its mouth preparing a scream >they know if they dont kill it before it screams it'll knock at least 1 person down and the rest will have to deal with action economy spiders by themselves
This still works on higher level adventurers too, no matter the level, if someone only has a +3 to con, thats a 30% chance to drop to 0hp
If the party has good saves just throw a few more banshees, or maybe one per round
I prefer to use something basic that takes advantage of players being careless. Half a dozen Scouts catching the party in no-cover crossfire, that sort of stuff.
Two of these bad boys and the party is fricked if they didn't bring any Stone to Flesh potions
anything big + grapple
Hydras are always scary regardless of level.
Balhannoth. That is all.
Leeches in large numbers because I'm an butthole
>Favorite monsters to use to kill characters.
A Minotaur with 3-5 levels in either Rogue or Ranger, played more or less as a slasher film villain.
clever bastard.
Everyone, take notes, this is how you run a spooky halloween special.

You would know, huh. Being an insufferable homosexual is a specialty of yours

I win, DM. You lose.
Now rim my unwiped ass while I cum inside your sister without using protection.

No surprises here.
Witch+pyro in Lancer. Put the fear of God in those heathens.

He's an embodiment of satan you moron. That's who the man on the road, at the cross roads, etc. is.
>Satan can be beaten down by regular OSR adventurers, then asphyxiated or beheaded with only a little more difficulty than it would take for a normal guy with fighting man levels

He tests us in mysterious ways.
This is trying WAY too hard.
No.
Seethe.
Nou.

Ghouls with Rogue levels.

Do banshees just drop you to 0 hp in Babby Edition?
they just dropped you to 0hp since AD&D
