Monsters: Duel of Cool

[lukelightning]

There are many similar monsters in D&D, e.g. Sahuagin and Kuo Toa. Which is cooler of the two?

What about

Lizardfolk or troglodytes?
Remorhaz or frostworms?
Mimics or phasms?
Shambling mounds or tendriculouses (tendriculi?)
Merfolk or tritons?

[Mr Pants]

I'd say:
Sauagin
Lizardfolk
Remorhaz
Phasms
Shambling Mounds
and Merfolk because the name reminds me of Murlocs

Sahuagin, 'cause Kuo Toa are lame.

Lizardfolk, by definition.

Remorhaz, 'cause it sounds cool. A frostworm sounds like an inchworm from Commander Keen.

Mimics, 'cause what on earth is a phasm?

Tendriclosowossnames, 'cause they don't shamble.

Tritons, 'cause they're basically upgraded merfolk.

Lizardfolk... actually, they're exactly as cool as Troglodytes.
Remorhazes (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG111.jpg) are way cooler than Frost Worms (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG111.jpg). I mean, just look at them!
Mimics... eh. Same with Phasms.
Tendriculoses (tendriculi?) are like mega-Shambling Mounds, so of course they're cooler...
Tritons (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG246a.jpg) just are not cool at all, in any way. In comparison, Merfolk (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG185.jpg) clearly win.

Seems like most folk agree with me:

Sahuagin, lizardfolk, remorhaz, mimic, merfolk FTW!

Shambling mounds vs tendriculous is a close call for me....

I say
Kua-Toa > Sahuagin (Though the picture in MM sucks)
Lizardfolk > Troglodytes (Obviously.)
Remorhaz > Frostworm (Because Remorhaz is the original ice-maggot-thing)
Mimic > Phasm (Phasm-Phlegm? Anyone notice the similarities?)
Shambling Mound > Tendriculous (...Not that plants have much oppurtunity for coolness)
Triton > Merfolk (Because they don't have fishtails)
