I tend to like themed adventures.
I recently ran a temple adventure where there was a giant bat-riding orc assassin, earless orc cultists, vargouilles, and the cultists summoned a yagnaloth (a big, bat-eared daemon).
Also headless zombies.
I'm working on The Crypt of the Monkey King. It's going to have a variety of undead, monkeys, and undead monkeys. And apes and other simians.
My next big adventure will feature nagas, yuan-ti, dragonborn, lizard folk, troglodytes, dinosaurs, and yuan-ti riding dinosaurs, dragonborn riding dinosaurs, lizard folk riding dinosaurs, troglodytes riding dinosaurs, and all manner of giant magic serpents.
Or it might be an adventure featuring gnolls, ghouls, leucrotta, and other demonic cannibals.
I'm also partial to hags and trolls and other evil fey-types. Also barghests and a mixed bag of goblinoids and worgs.
