If you were dungeon delving and could pick your top three monsters that you wanted to encounter, what would those be? I'm talking dungeon sweets here. The stuff that you would expect any quality dungeon to be stocked with. The kind of stuff that would make you pick Dungeon A over Dungeon B: Goblin Warrior:"I think we should head over to Dingbitt's 'cause they say it's just been stocked with 99 low level orcs!" Elf Ranger:"But Curlmucker's just got in a griffon; love those aerial attacks!" Humnz Mage:"I don't care which as long as you guys are standing in front..." Dwarf Sage:"Which one of those is closest to the Tongue of Dung tavern again?" These can be from any system, any dungeon, any bestiary. The top three off the top of my head are:Trolls Gelatinous Sludge with tentacles Animated Statue  That would be a good dungeon day!

1) Illithid. Say what you will about the tentacled brain-eaters, but in my games everyone gets a little more nervous when the mind flayers get whipped out. Plus, you can't beat a monster whose entire strategy section is a) Mind Blast, b) bore hole into brain, c) eat! 2) Goatmen. Everyone loves beating up on goatmen. They appear in games they really shouldn't for the simple fact that everyone loves beating up on them. They're bleating cannon fodder, and I wouldn't have it any other way. 3) Kobolds. These guys are the VietCong of the gaming world. They're snipers, cameoflage experts, trapmasters, and all around sneaky bastards. A properly run kobold dungeon should be enough to make any sane gamer question going into any abandoned mine ever again!

Drakes
Draoclich
Lycantropes
Drakes are mini dragons who wouldn't want that as a guard dog
Come on undead dragons thats awesome
Who dosnet want to turn in to some animal be it wolf,boar or tiger and become some awesome hybrid there just slightly cooler than vampires in my opinion

My top 3 are
Goblins- who doesn't love wailing on a whole mess of goblins
Ethers- when these guys roll out people start going insane (literally and in game)
Gargoyles- cause there is nothing like having a statue suddenly start killing you

Old Skool Dungeon Crawling would require:
1) Green Slime
2) Rust Monsters
3) Kobolds!!! (Lots and Lots of Kobolds!)

1) Kobolds
2) something slimey (slimey with tentacles is a bonus)
3) anything that makes the players go "what?!?!"

Kobolds...if they come in groups of 100.... Slime/Ooz...any color and shape and jelly-like substance...again required. Villainous pissed off undead monster to top it all off. Vampire or Mummy...that sort of awesome!

Kobolds sure are rising to the top of the dungeon heap! Probably one of the reasons that they were one of two monsters given a full page illustration in the orig AD&D Monster Manual (party of four swarmed by countless kobolds). Slimes seem to be another favorite! Nice!

...Continuing conversation from the adventuring party in first post... Gnobbit Trickster:My vote is that we head over to Dingbitt's dungeon; had a bad experience over at Curlmucker's last month. Dwarf Sage:Every time there's nothing to pilfer, you always b!tch... Gnobbit Trickster:Nah, wasn't like that this time. Me and my mates went over because they were advertising a cave full of stirges. When we got to that room, Curlmucker had rigged up some giants rats with wings and rusty darts for beaks. When you walked into the room, a bunch of his hobgoblins were hiding behind rocks and throwing them up in the air at us. Humnz Mage:Man that's lame. Curlmucker could have at least cast Jazzophat on the things to give 'em some air. Gnobbit Trickster:You know him; he'd have to pay a Mage to do that! Goblin Warrior:Doesn't beat the time he covered an ogre with clay and called it an earth elemental... One hit and that thing went down! Dwarf Sage:I had to keep healing the thing to keep it in the fight for you. (General dungeon escapade laughter ensues...)

Thanks to an interesting turn of events at Origins, dungeon dingos are now on my top three list... Yes, dungeon dingos. No dungeon is complete without them!

Hey Glad! You found the secret WEGS playground! Welcome, man! I love the halfling calling out the kobold. Amidst all the other turmoil, he's just cool and collected (until one sinks its teeth into him). Nice work! Looks very much like a "Get The Point?" moment...
