This is the Qualifying Group #2. You are voting for the "best" monster in this group-- you decide what "best" means. This poll will stay open until Monday. The top vote-getter will move on to the 16-monster, single elimination tournament. Click here for the official rules post.

Remember: Posting from puppet accounts is prohibited. People who vote using puppet accounts will not have their votes counted (from any account).

Advocating your favorite monster in this thread is encouraged. Feel free to berate the ones you don't want, and tout the ones you do.

There can be only one.

The candidates in this group are:

Satyr
Hydra
Carnivorous/White Ape
Tiefling

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.

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.
