Any that are tougher than my party. Or too easy to overcome. Or easily forgotten. And I'm not a fan of anything that does CON damage. Or STR damage. Or any ability drain really. And Banshees.
I'm sure I'll come up with more. (maybe even specific ones)

Beat you to the link Dusk... I suggest you take improved initiative next level *snorts and sips delicately from his steaming mug of Mountain Dew*
Also, re Rust Monsters: I am currently ratcheting up the neuroses of my players by pitting them against a group of vampires who use rust monsters as guard/attack dogs. They showed up to a rival thieve's guild my party is working for and brought along a couple rusters to hold the warforged doormen at bay.
Now my players have all created equipment loadouts that do away with ANY metal armor or weapons - i.e. all of their silver and magical weapons that can bypass a vamps DR! - The materialistic nature of my PCs has them more worried about possibly losing a +1 rapier to a rust monster than getting level-drained to death by a bunch of vamps... ah well, learn by experience.
And to be fair about the Raggamoffyns... in my case, they were guarding the lair of a beholder whose favorite hobby was to dress up basilisk victims in embarrassing clothes and put them on display in his lair, so it made about as much sense as it possibly could.
Ah! Rustmonsters really bite. I can remember going against one and not knowing what it was, shooting and arrow and having it be completely in effective.. my character had to resort to beating the thing with it's bow.. which snapped and had to be replaced..
That encounter sounds hilarious though Gnunn.. beholders are fun to play around with.. even if tehy are messed up looking..
i use them as annoying punishments for my players when they're getting out of hand.. my brother hate them now.. even the slightest hint of a pixie or small fey like creature sends him into a rant.. it's awesome :D
They technically phase, becoming ethereal and capable of moving in any direction through solid matter. It's basically "this spell":http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/etherealJaunt.htm as an innate ability.
But yes, I guess you can share credit with SkyeAegis for naming my least favorite D&D monster. Yay!
ps. as far as I'm concerned, ethereal jaunt is generally accepted by the masses as a teleport, (except geeks, theoretical scholars, and wizards, any of which I would be honored to be considered) even if it's not technically true. Boooo for semantics! But yay for semantics!
Teleport is instantaneous. You wink out of existence and reappear instantaneously elsewhere. Phasing grants you insubstantial invisibility, but you move at half your movement speed (though I believe phase spiders move at their normal speed when phased).
I believe that would make you a geek-ish theoretical scholar...wait you didn't site a source, so...yep, you're right about your title of theoretical geek. But I still think that unless you made a dc 15 knowledge (planar) check, of which the masses would fail, you would assume they were teleporting. but I don't have a degree in geekdom either, so my fantasy logic has no collaboration from a journal or anything.
As I've said on other threads...I'm not as geeky as I want to be, but I'm trying.
In my current campaign (Rise of the Runelords) there was initially a true hatred of dogs (well, Goblin dogs specifically). One German Shepperd named Buddy saved his species from the serious hate the party had from dogs; mostly by Criting all the time against the Goblins that were trying to overrun the party.
Now (that we're in chapter 2) their hatred is growing and they hate ghouls; although flying blinking dogs with DR is still a close second.
In my opinion I could be a ranger, for I hate the following three with a passion - gelatinous cubes, rust monsters, and giant versions of normal animals.

Also, the gelatinous cube. Oh no, how do we win? Uh... walk away?
I'm sure I'll come up with more. (maybe even specific ones)

...but I'm most a-feared of the gazebo.

Players apparently hate: Clay Golems, Vampires, Gelatenous Cubes, Mind Flayers.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PHASE SPIDERS!

But me? Geek? No. :P

Though in all fairness teleportation and Phasing are really from the same realm of science, because it's displacement of atoms..
And Dusk is an awesome geek:D
