My most hated monster is not listed.

Boss Monster Archer with loads of friendly friends... of course fanatiscm-aura or this AR-aura ^_^

Because of my last char, Ama with d/a/e:

Lava Maws! i hate them and their lakes of acid

[webwalker]

High enough resists & absorb (or resists & life-leach) make their pools of acid not too much of a problem for my Zon or last-ladder sorc...
but blocking: Yesterday I was level 60, they were level 30, 95% chance to hit, and arrows with "hit causes monster to flee 100%": the number of "hits" required to put the "Terror" graphic over them lead me to believe they have about 80% blocking.  The number of actual hits to kill suggests to me they have about three times the life of other monsters in their area.

Plus they leave no body to hork/explode/raise and that makes them a real pain, especially to my (last, late) Skelliemancer who can't just run past them without losing skellies to 'evaporation' nor without getting to the next badguys with his skellies trailing *way* behind (nice sharp axe you got there, Mr Minotaur, my minions will be here in 3 seconds to argue with you about it)....

Maws are only dangerous for some characters. I can remember playing my Skelliemancer as my first HC-Char. Nightmare act4 was soooo ... i dont know, just hard. Therefore you need a party to kill them. But for most other character, they are not very dangerous in my opinion. Just never stay still, run around, throw your hands in there air and hope that your weapon kills one after the other ^_^

And i REALLY love them with my Amazone. No Evade-Skills and loads of lightning furies ^_^

maws...dam..i hate them....i think it don´t give any monster where most of the comm speaks with one mouth

[webwalker]

Lava Maws do have a comfortable lead...

Congratulations on the "hobby", may he fascinate you for years!  (they're so cute when they're asleep)

My youngest is 8, and quite skilled at picking my wallet out of my pocket.  *sigh*

[RafaWu]

Lawa Maws and anything what is near the stairs

[Shinlos]

Lava Maws and Archers.

[webwalker]

Opinion and Guess:  Lava Maws are the most annoying critter (Ärgerliches Lebewesen) beyond question.  "What critter has killed us the most" is a separate question.  My Opinion/Guess (Meinung/Vermutung) answer would be aura-enhanced (Aura-erhöht) champion archer packs, especially when right at the bottom of the stairs.  "Annoyances" might be higher significance to us than "Fatalities" in SoftCore, but in HardCore, being killed is the most annoying annoyance there is.

(Gambling 13 pairs of Hsarus' boots when trying for Bartuc's boots might take second place)
