This forum has recently seen a topic discussing the perfect party of PCs and another about the deadliest monsters.
Let's combine those themes!
Avoiding enemies with class levels or complications of terrain, design a "perfect" monster challenge for the CR (or CRs) of your choice. What makes this combination of monsters "perfect"? How does it create an interesting and difficult challenge for our adventuring party? What reason would you give as GM for why these creatures were encountered together?
(need 3.5 monster manual but...)
I threw some mindflayers with quickling template vegepygmy monk servitors at the party; the plant people don't mind a little psionic mindflaying along with their spinach style kung fu action.

Pugwampis in every encounter.
Pugwampis shine in encounters with creatures that they don't effect with their unluck aura (animals, gnolls, other pugwampi). Template up some fiendish gnoll barbarians with fiendish gnoll druids riding fiendish hyaenadons, and accompanied by a pack of fiendish hyenas, each with a pugwampi held in a wicker cage on their pack (or riding the hyenas) and you've got a nasty fight on your hand.
Mixing up a pugwampi with something that doesn't need to make d20 rolls to mess up your day (like a spellcaster who uses save or suck spells, or a medusa, or something similar), also can work.
The aura also doesn't affect anything with a luck bonus. What in the Bestiary can give itself a luck bonus? A gold dragon. With a pugwampi 'familiar.'
But that's too cruel for words...
