[Poll] - What monster would you like to see?

What monster would you like to see in your favorite variant? What unique? Is it
something from a book, or something you just made up completely? I'm curious.

I think a more interesting spectrum of dragons would be cool in V: Snail Dragon,
Jungle Dragon, Spitting Drake, Psionic Wyrm, Lava Serpent... just to break away
from the [age] [color] [title] formula.

I also think a unique toad named Glurtz would be cool.

I think Magic: The Gathering has hoovered up just about every monster
anybody ever imagined. A MtG-based variant would have some interesting
uniques, like Squee, Goblin Nabob and Baron Sengir. My vote for
favourite flavour text (for the monster memory) goes to the Anaconda:
"If you're smaller than the anaconda, it considers you food. If you're
bigger than it, it considers you a lot of food."

I'd like to see all the cookie-cutter creatures removed. Unique toads,
well, no problem there...

In my customized version of Zangband I have added "Warp drakes" and "Great
Dimensional Wyrms": they're invisible and have several breath
weapons/spells related to space-time.

How utterly evil.
