Favorite Mobs

[Estu]

Wondering what everyone's favorite mobs are in this fine game. I'm a permanoob so I can't expound on dragons and giants and gods (perhaps this should be two questions: favorite mundane mob and favorite boss-type mob; I do enjoy the concept and design of Cazic Thule), but I've always been a fan of the undead in this game. Whether it's skeletons with their mad cackle, zombies with their hoarse scream and squishy hit sound, or the novelty undead rat, the undead in EQ are pretty well-done graphically and audio-wise. I don't have a hard-on for undead usually, but these are pretty rockin'.

My favorite monster used to be the ghoul. The appearance is grotesque, the wheezing scream is chilling, the root is a nice touch. But today my newly-15 cleric (now 16) ventured into Unrest, which I'd spent minimal time in back in the day - I'm kind of making it a mission to level him in Faydwer exclusively or at least as much as possible. And what mob became the new apple of my eye? The jack o lantern.

I'd seen these guys a couple of times before, maybe, but it was either a hazy memory of sneaking around with my rogue back in the day, or it was that one jack o lantern that stands around in Rivervale. And, well, nothing is terribly scary in Rivervale. But the jack o lanterns in Unrest won my heart. Between their glowing faces, their puppetlike prancing animations, and their awesome screams and cackling, I've got a new favorite mob. And my cleric has a new favorite nuke target.
