    Melissan, Sendai, Demogorgon, Jon Irencius, Firkraag, Shadow Patrick, etc. Any creature you think the coolest. I suppose this is an individual, but if you find the Troll coolest then feel free to tell it.
    Aspects: graphics, dialogs (style, voice etc.), maybe the behaviour in battle, and anything you liked in the creature, anything which made it cool.
    I didn't want to make a poll, because I might have left something out.

    Please tell your coolest enemy(enemies) of Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal separately.

    My favourite is Melissan in ToB. In SoA, probably Irenicus (mainly because of his voice only!), and Bone Fiends.

    ToB: Ka'Rashur (sp?) the Pit Fiend-thingy in Watcher's Keep. (He looks like a bluish Slayer and speaks in rhyme)

    SoA: Faldorn. It's probably the only fight in the series that's fought on roughly even ground.

    EDIT: Ooh... I'm now a Zircon!

    He's a possible enemy, but I usually don't side with Bodhi.

    Guess....

    Yes!

    Methinks that Aran Livail is coool :D

    Ok... my favorite in ToB is actually Yaga-Shura mostly because I think it's funny when he realizes he's not invincible and he runs away crying!

    In SoA it's hard to say. I think my favorite is either Firkragg or the slavers. When I play through the game, they give me the best fights, and I just love killing them, (evil slaving bastards and Dirty son of a B**** dick head dragon ruining my reputation!).

    SOA: no way it can be anyone other than Irenicus. Every time I play the game I listen to his dialogue because he's just such an evil b*****d.

    Bodhi would be among my other fave villains, as well as Firkraag.

    TOB: tougher choice. No enemy stands out as effectively as Irenicus did in in SOA and Melissan always bugs me because of the sheer naffness of her voicing. Abazigal is cool, same with Yaga-Shura, but I think I'd have to go for Demogorgon as topic villain.

    In SoA it has to be Bohdi - got a thing for vamp chicks.

    In ToB, I don't have one - they all suck big time.

    SoA - Irenicus, he's just... I don't know, just that "evilness factor" And his amazing voice and diologues. Worth playing through to hear his villain voice again :D

    ToB - Amy never seemed evil after Irenicus... Hmm, so I guess I'd have to go for Abazigal. For a start I love dragons, and he's just cool, along with most of the other main characters such as Sendai and Yaga-Shura.

    I enjoyed the Dragon in Watcher's keep just for personality, but as far as battles go, my first time around with Sendai I was soooo confused, but ultimately that one was a lot of fun.

    And I'll agree that killing Aran was fun, with a solo thief, invisibility and backstabing. heh, having all the people around you just start dying must be creepy. I should really do that again...

    Balthazar was probably the most "good" out of all of your enemies. Even if you're lawful good yourself, he still wants to kill you to remove the Bhaalspawn taint. He's so dedicated to his cause that he even plans to commit ritual suicide after his quest is done. He seems like a bastard, sure, but a righteous bastard. He's my pick for TOB.

    [​IMG] All these posts prove how good game BGII is. People who posted have chosen a wide range of villains! You can see many creatures here from Slavers through Aran Linvail to Balthazar.
    Keep posting!

    Yes, it's weird, but I think the Sahuagin are the coolest enemies. They look really frickin cool in infravision. All red and black... And of course the Drow look really cool.

    SoA: The dwarf thief and the surly fighter (Corvale?) who stop you outside the CC. Just a pair of thugs who picked a fight with the wrong party.

    ToB: The litch in Amkethran (sp?) who holds Mala's soul. The fact that a litch is scared of the PC shows that this undead actually has a brain.

    I know BG isn't asked but it would simply have to be Sarevok.

    SoA - Firkraag (the only dragon that acts and feels like a dragon) and Bodhi. Count me in on the "I like vampiric chicks" camp. Man I'd love a Bodhi romance... :)

    ToB - Sendai (what can I say, I love the anime style "Impossible, how can he be so powerful!" stuff... :) ). And everyone's favorite... Demogorgon in watcher's keep.

    Edit: Yes and an honorary mention to Balthazar. I got all the more respect for him after I learned a character with high enough wisdom can convince him to fight with you against Melissan.

    SOA: Of course, Firkraag is cool. I mean, brings in some of Gorion's history and he was CHARNAME's foster father. So, Firkraag was after CHARNAME because she/he was raised by Gorion.

    I did not like Irencus and Bodhi... Rather pathetic self centered twits in my opinion.

    TOB: Sendai. What can I say? I like Drow Chicks.

    SoA: I'd probably say... the shadow dragon in Umar Hills quest. He was the first dragon I ever saw in BG2 and he made me say "Wow"


    ToB: Definitley Sendai. Drow are awesome

    The Drow in general, they are just so evil. You don't see that in IWD2 when you encounter the Drow, but in BG2 you can definitly see ust how bad they are.

    Well for SoA, it can only be Jonny for me. I mean, his voice and spell-effects are great and the dialogue is some of the best in the whole game. "Silence dog, you have no purpose but to die by my hand." Aaah... Happy memories. Melissan somehow just never even got near to him in evilness. I guess she doesn't get time enough to have her character as fully developped as Jon.
    So in ToB I'd have to go with Abizagal. Dragons are awesome, and this is one pretty awesome dragon, :D

    SoA: Hmmm... Toughy. At the risk of being predictable, probably Irenicus. His voiceset is great. Mr Warner earned his corn on that one.

    ToB: Kiser Jhaeri - I just thought he was cool :p "Interlopers in my abode? Perhaps you have mistaken this edifice for an establishment of commerce. I assure you, you are mistaken." Gotta love it :cool:
