Favorite Monster of Might and Magic

[Kareeah Indaga]

I know we had one of these before, but it was MMVII-specific and that was over a year ago, so now we have another one.


I would like to put a word in for the Bloodsuckers of MMVI and the Dagrels of MMIX. The former are nasty, disgusting monstrosities that are all I imagine the spawn of evil to be, and the latter are cool looking and hit hard.

The phantom Mogred beasts we've never so much as even seen.

More seriously now, mine would be the Fear / Nightmare / Terror things from MM8, or the wacky Lizardmen and Minotaurs of the same game. Can't beat their design for... originality?

[darknessfood]

Not original, but i think they are awesome, i choose the Titans. They look great,and they are freaking deadly!

[Avonu]

There are plenty of unique monsters in MM series, so it's difficull to choose some but I try:

MM1-2 - never really played, so no monster
MM3 - Sonic Ninjas, Iron Wizards and Eds - 409
MM4 - Carnage Hands, Flying Feets, Gnome Vampires
MM5 - Beholder Bat, Dragon Mummies
MM6 - Death Knights, Agar Pets, Guardians of VARN
MM7 - Lincoln Droids, Dragonflies, Genies
MM8 - Terrors, Wasps, Juggernauts
MM9 - Basilisks, Yeties, Demons, Yanmir and Forest Giants, Magreebs

I choose them because of desing, unique appearance (read: not just copy/paste from other games) or humor (gnome vampires? dragon mummies? ).

Is there actually a monster called that in the games?

[arturchix]

I can't tell about MM1-MM5 as it's been quite a long time since I played them so here's my list for MM6-MM9:

MM6 - guardians of Varn, titans, cannibals
MM7 - titans, hydras, sharks!
MM8 - terrors, phoenixes, cyclops
MM9 - terrors, eyes, all undead related


Monsters I hate - oozes and turtles.

[Corlagon]

Is there actually a monster called that in the games?

Yeah, they're sort of tribesmen all over Bootleg Bay (IIRC) in MM6.

[GrayFace]

All favorites are from MM7:
Queen of the Dead
Genie
Lich
Dog
Master of the sword

Yeah, they're sort of tribesmen all over Bootleg Bay (IIRC) in MM6.

Those are cannibals. Magyars are in White Cap and Castle Alamos.

[Corlagon]

You sure they're not in either Bootleg Bay or Blackshire too (one or the other, don't recall which)? I remember having to face off against at least seventy of them before even reaching the nearby town

EDIT: Apologies, indeed I confused them with the Bounty Hunters.

[DaveO]

I'm surprised that there has been no mention of the really memorable monsters.

The most memorable for me will always be the Megadragon. Honorable mentions go to the MM3 Terminators, and the various Golems in Xeen.

[theLuckyDragon]

Magyars are actually what Hungarians call themselves in Hungarian.

[arturchix]

Magyars are actually what Hungarians call themselves in Hungarian.

I'm pretty sure NWC was aware about that.

[Tress]

mm3-5 altough i played them while ago i alredy have forgotten most of them so cant really say.
mm6 - archers.
mm7 - raiders- ones in green outfit and curved sword.But owerally mm7 had best sprites if chosing from mm6-8
mm8 - didnt really had good ones - but i will go with necromancer if needed.
mm9 - liches and mages were only ones with more or less decent model. Frost giant had pretty good model too but hes unique

I forgot about animals - they are after all in MM9:

[darknessfood]

Magyars are in White Cap and in Castle Alamos IIRC!

[jeff4815]

MM6: Minotaurs, Werewolves, Death Knights, Dragons, those Anubis things in the pyramid
MM7: Minotaurs, Dragons, Evil Eyes
MM8: Even though they're allies, Minotaurs, Dragons, and Lizardmen (I still with Lizardmen were playable characters).

[Kareeah Indaga]

those Anubis things in the pyramid

Those were the Defenders/Sentinels/Guardians of VARN, and yeah, those things are cool.

[Storm-giant]

I only played MM7&8, so:
MM7: Oozes(gelatinous), speaker of the death and droids.
MM8: Necromancers and terrors.

[zalunaya]

Cuisinarts, for sure! They look awesome
