    Yeah, trolls are annoying, esp. in HoF mode where they hit HARD and almost never die to Wail of the Banshee.

    Still, I think the most annoying creatures have to be those multiplying slimes, since you can cast Sunfire after Sunfire and still run out before you kill them all. Multiplication... Grrr!

    Slayer Knights are overkill, not an annoyance... as for me, the freaking Yuan-Ti take the lead... gads, I HATE them...

    Goblins are a royal pain in the bottom too. Not that they are strong or something, they just annoy me with their battle screams and stupid faces. But maybe that's just me... :)

    Goblins, definitivelly goblins.

    I think main reason was becose my first game the savegame corrupted so i could not progress (twise!) and i had to export characters and start anew. and becose a party of level 11 or so wading through hordes of goblins are considered way to powerfull the game "balances" them so nicelly out and makes them into monsters. So i had to wade through Goblins with 100+hp, +10 to hit and 1D6+10 dmg and saves +5 and still Challenge Rating 1 ...

    My dwarf fighter had problems taking one two of these beasts alone if not buffed.

    I reached that white dargon, and had less problems with that one than 3 goblins.

    Goblins and Trolls...everything else dies easy.

    Trolls are annoying because even though you kill them, you still have to use fire/acid to get rid of them.

    Goblins...well, when you encounter Goblins you are usually like lvl 1 or so, and only get one attack per round at horrible AB which means you spend an ETERNITY swinging away...all the while enduring their annoying noises.

    Slime Zombies with their damage reduction that has almost no chance to be over come at that point, making take an eternity before succumbing to their death. They so rarely attacked and took so long to kill that they had to be in there simply to annoy the hell out of characters without powerful magic items.

    I'd have to say those ochre jellys who duplicate themselves. Unless you have a sorcerer they are a royal pain in the a**

    Slayer Knights of Xvim. Nothing in the game are as tough as they are...and they become regular monsters at chapter 6. :nuts:

    Trolls are a good candidate because of their super natural fortitude saving throws. (I can not Disintegrate them easily!)

    I can't view Slayer Knights as annoying (even in HoF mode) so much as extremely tough and frustrating. Even then, they're basically a baseline monster, just the toughest one in a long line stretching all the way back from goblins to orcs ...to barbarians... to Yuan-ti... to Slayer Knights.

    Annoying monsters to me are the ones that have some weird special ability that set them apart from the baseline vanilla monsters, like trolls with regen, slimes with multiplying, and various casters for their spells.

    I'd add that the most annoying monster for me in Battle Squares by far are the Greater Feyrs, which teleport to the locked room and essentially cause me to lose the square automatically, unless I get them with Chromatic Orb or something.

    Never had a problem with trolls - Fireball away! I generally save those potions (like Lamp Oil and Potion of Fiery Burning) just for trolls. Besides I find the animation amusing when they die.
    I find the wererats more annoying than trolls.

    If the old orc didn't make such amusing comments, I would say this guy is annoying (he'll probably still be alive if I went and made a cup of tea).

    I cannot stand Slayer Knights, but for "annoying" monsters, I would have to pick the Malarites.

    How about the mushrooms in the underdark - they're annoying. And the the archers and war animals working for Harshom Beastlord. The archers shoot me to ribbons and the war animals, bears and cats, attack me even when I'm invisible. I like to let the umber hulks in the same cavern as Harshom take care of the whole lot of them.

    just let your party bring it to near death while you and the golem gets in line of sight, when the golem are in line of sight, kill it. then you win the square, which makes it one of the easiest ways to win a square...and damn cheese, but then they could have fixed that anoying bug.

    To me they've always been the Festering Drowned dead, since I used to do a lot of summons and Animate dead is IMO the best summoning spell.

    But those aura's of instant death! Even some of my extremely high lvl characters from HoF failed their saving throws too often!

    Basically any monsters in the HoF mode are really annoying because of all the hitpoints they have. That just makes you want to kill them even more :evil:

    Can the golem in battle squares see into the locked room? The door is shut from both inside and outside so I never thought it could.
