There can be only one.

Satyr
Hydra

This is kind of a sad line up. I view all of these as some of the "weaker" choices from the pool. For me, it's between Satyr and Hydra. I'm torn because the Hydra is a pretty bad-ass foe, but the Satyr is a much more clever adversary. This will require some thought.

I'm in the same boat as you. Satyr vs. Hydra.

I'm not. I have always been attracted to a nice set of horns.

Paging Dr. Freud... This is what you get when you post your geek stuff in the regular forum. Riff raff.

Definitely the hydra for me, satyr comes in a distant second. Their cool in mythology, but the D&D satyr just never impressed me.

I'm a big Robert Howard fan so I have to go with carnivorous ape. His stuff is full of things between man and ape.

Silverwolf is right about the the satyr.

Tiefling seems like some lame ass Forgotten Realms race foisted on the rest of D&D recently.

Giving it up to the carnivorous ape. Not only are they bad-assed monsters for most of my playing groups, they harken back to the man himself.

CONAN!

In this case, I have to say that n-heads are better than one, even if it has horns!

Two heads are better than one.

So seven heads with the ability to regenerate and create more equals super better.

Hydra hands down. What other creature can feed millions? Hydra Head BBQ.
