So here is a thread I was inspired to do after one of my responses to the movie thread. What two monsters would you most like to see go toe-to-toe, head-to-head, tooth-and-claw, tentacle-to-wing in a knock-down, drag-out, fight to the finish. No templates! No class levels! No items! Just one thing against another.
My choice from that other thread was a Pit Fiend vs a Balor. Some others are:
- Behir vs Hydra
- Hobgoblin vs Orc
- Frost Giant vs Fire Giant
- Naga vs Yuan-ti Abomination
Tarrasque v Everything else
:)
An ancient Gold might take it down, just. But it might need help from a Titan or two grappling the beast.
Vampire mind flayer vs. werebear war troll.
Vampire mind flayer vs. werebear mind flayer.
Gotta thing for mind flayers?

Maybe. I mis-posted though and you caught me pre-edit. Mind flayers aren't eligible for lycanthropy.
Aaarrgghh...come on guys...no templates. If people start doing that this will just degenerate into a mindless template-fest.
What? You mean we don't need another template-fest thread? My bad for not fully reading your rules of the post.
How about rust monster vs. iron golem?
Basilisk vs. medusa?
Invisible stalker vs. displacer beast?

Tarrasque v Everything else
:)
Tarrasque v. kobold!*
*Kobold gets a stick. Oooh! Stick!!!**
**And not the Order of the Stick either. A non-magical piece of wood. A club if you will.***
***This footnoting is excessive. A player in my AoW game has a wizard and didn't bother purchasing any weapons. After finding the abandoned mine house, they decided to set off for the Whispering Cairn. The wizard asks if there are any pieces of wood around. I tell him, sure, there's an old broken up table. He scavanges a leg from the table and declares that he is now armed with a club. He then proceeds to point out that the club does indeed cost 0gp according to the phb. He did manage to take out an opponent using said club, and thus I believe that a kobold with a similar stick, Str, and BAB could take out the Tarrasque.

a small water elemental vs a giant fire elemental...in the plane of water.
Flesh Golem (Frankenstein) Vs. Mummy
Mummy Vs. Vampire Spawn (Closest I can get to a vampire without using a template).
Any other combo that pits classic horror monsters against each other.
Oh...
Any Deity Vs. Any Deity
Just to see how it plays out.

You are a strange, twisted individual and I would like to be the first to offer my undying devotion and loyalty to your warped mind. That is priceless!! Two Shreikers!! I love it!!
And my own choice...
As a serious match-up; Quickling vs. Troll. With the Quickling's massive speed and quick attacks matched up against a Troll's regeneration, could be interesting...
As a humorous match-up; Phoenix vs. Lich (I know it's a Template) Think of it, two creatures that just keep coming back from death over and over and over and over.... Make sure it's a BIG tub of popcorn if you're going to watch that fight!
You are a strange, twisted individual and I would like to be the first to offer my undying devotion and loyalty to your warped mind.
Your training is now complete:
So from this day forward, you will no longer be known as Joex The Pale. You will be known as... DARTH BUCKET!
Rise, my friend.

stat up the Dire Squirrel and put in the NPC database that Lilith has going, that would be cool. Unless its already statted in another book that is.

Flumph v Flumph
I agree with any god vs any god, but who would, who could gm it and who would play each god; sheesh this is a gm nightmare if you actually make them fight.

This is a champ-eeon-ship match, ladies and lords, winner takes all the land from the Green Sea to the Frozen Jungle.
*ding ding*
There's the bell!
....
Oh come on, I know I wouldn't be the only one at *that* fight. :-D
Vampire mind flayer vs. werebear war troll.
Werebear Wartroll... Now thats an awsome monster - I got to go make one of those just to see what level my PCs have to be to fight it.
Changeling vs Changeling pick any class as desired; start at opposite gates of a city; they have to find and eliminate the other.

I have a Kobold Paladin/ Mage that I took through the Shacked City Adventure Path that I would bet money on against a Tarrasque. I've never played a character that were so loved by the dice gods. At this point he has four dragons under his belt (Black Dragon scale of course.)

Mordekainen vs Elminster (in a pit of mud or jello and wearing chainmail bikinis)
You know, I love seeing Elminster mocked as much as the next guy, but that is not the type of image I wanted to start my day on. Please excuse me while I go douse my brain in bleach to try and clean that mental picture out.

Relax, they would be required to polymorph themselves into Salma Hayek before the match.
Now the only thing to wrack your psyche is the unnerving idea of getting turned on by two old guys wrestling.

Please stop.
I've had elementals on the brain lately, so I was wondering, have they ever done battles between elementals. I'd love to see a fire elemental vs a water elemental, or an earth elemental vs an air elemental. Hell, they could have one big elemental war.
Elemental War -> Next Adeventure Path.
Kraken vs. Dragon Turtle
I'm thinking that this would be the typhoon-causing battle to end all sea chanteys.
And since I just found this thread I want to offer Ultradan a Twenty-one Shrieker Salute. Gentlefolk, aim your shriekers!
Twwwwweeeeeeeeeet!
Twwwooooooooootttt!
A friend and I once ran a tarrasque vs great gold wyrm match to see who would win. I made the mistake of playing the dragon - the tarrasque is far more straightforward in his combat options, whereas the dragon has complicated full attacks, a breath weapon, flight and spells.
Basically, the great gold wyrm would win - but only just. He uses his superior speed and flight to keep just out of the tarrasque's full attack range, while hitting him repeatedly with spells like polymorph any object to turn the tarrasque to stone. Eventually one such spell would hit, whereupon he could crush the tarrasque to dust and then use wish to keep it dead.
The tarrasque would win in a fair, toe-to-toe fight, but the dragon is under no obligation to provide such a fair fight.
a balor vs bone devil
balor vs a great wyrm crystal dragon
storm elemental vs cinder swarm
charnel hound vs feral yowler
Mind Flayer vs. Reason Stealer
Just some sick irony for those of us who don't get enough of that sort of thing...
Gelatinous Cube Vs. Will-O’-Wisp.
Just because it would be weird.
