This thread is similar to the Which is the Playground's favorite monster? thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?364977-Week-5-Which-is-the-Playground-s-favorite-monster-!-Mom!-I-want-some-JELL-O!&p=17874220#post17874220); however, we aren't counting favorites here in a table, we'll just sharing our favorite way to use the weekly selected monster, whether at the center of the plot or as a random encounter.
There is no ruleset to follow on this weekly thread, this is up to everyone's own criteria and imagination to tell us which is their favorite use of the monster's abilities, interactions, and lore as well.
This week's monster will share a theme with another thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?364977-Week-5-Which-is-the-Playground-s-favorite-monster-!-Mom!-I-want-some-JELL-O!&p=17874220#post17874220):

I like to: This monster is a fun one to use; it is effectively invisible to any party that prefers rush instead of going slow and safe inside dungeons, so just placing it in a corridor is the most trivial way to introduce it to your party, but people just don't always spot that often (sometimes it can be very easy to spot when it carries armors or weapons inside, bones and else.) The traditional use inside a trap is just hilarious, never gets old, but my personal favorite is to have a trap designed to open a trapdoor above the adventurers and let it fall over them. 10x10 ft is very large and at least 4 creatures can be engulfed, so there you go ;) The challenge rating is quite low, but it's a trap! This thingy alone has wiped out at least 6th level adventurers that were careless (not my fault, a natural 1 on the reflexes roll was pretty unlucky of that rogue #hue.)
I don't know, their name and their role, it's just fun to use.
Come on, share your experiences =D
