Hello there Sport fans
I just wanted to share my annoyance at a particular little critter that likes to live in the snow.
These Critters are non other than ice imps ><
O boy i do so hate them Hexing interrupting annoying little imps ><
The 2 ways i make my cash in game is
1 Forge running / Southern Shiverpeak tour
&
2 Icy dragon sword farming

So this practically keeps me fighting/running in the snow and killing (or running from) ice imps every hour of every day :P

I wanted to ask the guru community what is the most annoying monster in the game ?

for me its anything impish or icy :P

Please do post your comments

and share with me which critter is most annoying for you.

[Edit. worst monster from this thread i have counted the opinions of peeps 8/4/08]
:P after careful deliberation i have decided that jotuns are the worst from this thread

i hate them and many other peeps seem to.
This is followed with a close second of rain beetles
then i got a tie from armagedons and ice imps

O my o my they are so annoying but for me nothing beats ice imps 24/7 i fight them if i am running down to droks or farming IDS's then i meet them and by god they are annoying. I am greatly considering creating a guild and calling it 'We are Slayers of imps' (somthing like that)

keep the comments coming peeps it is really interesting to see what you guys think

Simian Spiritcallers, putting Splinter Weapons on their Redhand mates. Rezzing eachother when you think they are dead. Stealing Meteor Showers and throwing them back right at you.

Hate them.

I'll divide them into chapters.

Prophecies: Ice Imps, nasty critters if not taken out fast!
Factions: Rotwallows, just disslike them
Nightfall: Rain beetles
Eye of the North: Stoneflesh Mandragor, Mandragor in generally, all kinds of conditions!

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Anything that uses Giant Stomp. Giants and stone summit yak-riding-things chain it and it really irritates me.

Incubus that turn enchantments in to daze are also frustrating.

Something that's always annoyed me is this:

Giants, especially Jotun can chain Giant Stomp beautifully.

Jade Brotherhood Mages can chain Dragon's Stomp pretty well most of the time.

Give more than one hero Dragon's Stomp...and they do not chain it.

As for Monsters, hmm... Jotun probably annoy me the most. Especially Jotun Bloodcurdlers.

Mantids in the expansion. Not because they are extremely tough or dangerous in particular. But because having to kill them 2 times each is cheesy and annoying. I want my team to have auto-res, too.

Destroyers. Well, actually any enemy with lots of hitpoints and armor so they are slow and dreary to kill; destroyers are just the worst offenders. "Call to torment" and the fact that they're mostly found in areas with let's-slow-down-the-player environmental effects is the icing on the annoyance-cake.

EDIT: Close second: mantises, like Stolen Soul says. Autoressing is just a special case of slow and dreary to kill.

I think you mean Torment creatures. I wasn't aware Destroyers could replicate themselves.

And I hate Rain Beedles.

The only monster that REALLY pisses me off is Andorogons, because they just lol at your pre-prot and Twisting Jaws spike someone.

The Simians can be annoying in a few spots in HM. Splinter Weapon + scythes, then they shrine camp. gg.

EDIT: Also, HM Chromatic Drakes when I'm with H/H. They just love standing in that 80 damage firestorm. >_>

Prophecies: Ice Imps (in Lornar's Pass, anyways - even though I can kill the ones in Varajar Fells with ease, the ones in the Pass make the ones in the Fells look like Ice Wimps)

EotN: Mandragors (are they teleporting or just moving very, very fast?) and Mist Vaettirs (I really gotta start putting an adrenal +damage skill other than Ear Bite/Sever Artery and Gash on my Warrior's bar when I'm in the Far Shiverpeaks)

I have to agree imps in general, the ones in RoF mission area the fire ones that just tear through a party unless you kill them quickly are one of my least fav. But the Ice Imps are also problematic, especially when thrown in with Ice Elemental's who use that stupid Water Trident, I have a Warrior that I have vanqd with and it drives me nuts trying to get in to actually kill them while Mind Freeze and then Water Trident constantly

There are some annoying monsters... Jade Scarabs, Irukandji, Roaring Ethers, Riders...

If I had to choose one that annoys me while playing as all professions, I'd choose...

Jotun. They are just brainless masses with too much armor and health that take too much time to kill no matter your build.
They are the race that most requires you to bring dazing and blindness around at all times.
