Of the various Unreal 1 aliens, or other custom creations that show up in UT's MonsterHunt, which is your favorite monster?

Of the default UnrealI pawns, my favourite is the Skaarj Gunner - tough, determined, competitive.

Not just one favourite Custom Scripted Pawns - these are some of my favourites (not that many of them actually appear in many MH maps but they are some of my favourites from playing Monster Spawn):
Fisk (horrible, spiky, great animations, good with flak cannon, terrifying screechy/squeally hit sounds);
Genestealer (great animations, grotesque, good with stinger);
Doom Pawns (sprites but that's OK, wide range of types from undead humans onwards);
Quadrapred (even more annoying than its close relative, the predator; fast and tenacious);
Dragons (with their airspeed increased somewhat and with a real fireball projectile, fearsome, devastating in confined spaces, 'nice' sounds);
Winged Terror (with enhanced speed and a different projectile, pretty fearsome at close quarters like the Dragons).

My real favourite though is my squad of female assassins made using the Oni Girls models and skins from Rikia - all armed with MP5s and all with individual voices, similar colour clothes/uniforms so they look and act like a squad of well trained professional killers - tenacious, quick, accurate, highly alert - so formidable opponents individually or en masse (you don't actually want to meet too many of them at the same time!).

I've got a playermodel for that thing, but it's impossible to skin.

I think there are a few skins for it around - can’t remember what they are like though - I use the orangey/beige colour skin - also have a SP based on the Klesk from Quake which appears to somewhat taller than the Fisk.
