Mine is the jelmre. I love those big eyed, big eared fellows and I felt so sad for them losing their emotions. Great idea though.
What is your favourite Gloranthan creature and why?

I'm currently writing an article about jelmre. Written 10 pages so far, almost finished. Only need some work with layout and artwork.
SGL.
EDIT: My personal favorite is trollkin. Wretched creatures with a fatalistic attitude. My current character is a trollkin with INT 9 and a "Common Sense" skill of 40%.

I love trollkin too, I had one who hated everyone esp trolls. He was a court jester cum zorak zoran initiate who's ambition was to become a vampire (who wants to die when you are a trollkin?) who could turn into a giant fly (among other things).
He was called Cedric Marktwo cause Mark 1 died.
He had a grudging respect for a 2nd stage dragonnewt who threw him at enemies ala 'fastball special'
PS the Jelmre stuff looks great, I would like to read it when it's finished.

Ducks definately.
The gloranthan version of ogres is pretty high too.
And the non-existence of orcs. Actually, that just may be my fave creature. The gloranthan orc in its glorious absence

Most Gloranthan creatures have unique feelings; among these, I mention: broos, tusk riders, trolls, morokants, talmori, ducks, krarsht, dragonewts, newtlings, ...
This is also the strengh of Glorantha, because all of them has history and are totally different from the creatures we used to know from elsewhere.

I would have to say Broo because I just like anthropomorphic creatures, and because they are the *Orcs* of Glorantha. We fought some many of those damn Chaos beasts. Any creature that rubs dung into its hair and fur and spreads disease gets my pick for number one bad guys that deserve slashing up.

It's a toss-up between Ogres or Broo for me.
As a player I have had a couple of Baboons I had a great time playing. I will always have a soft spot for the mangy curs.
As a GM scorpion men rock. Broo's, though truly fearful for more than a couple of reasons, have become the pretty standard fare. Scorpion men on the other hand ALWAYS instill fear in players (especially when weilding iron).

The Crimson Bat.
'Cos it glows and eats people by the city-full. But the best reason is budding Heroes can cut their teeth by killing it. And others by Questing to bring it back...
(Jack-o-bears, Broo and Morokanth a close equal second. Trolls and Ducks trailing badly!)

Trolls are my hands-down fave and broos a distant second, dragonewts third.. pretty much all Elder Races rule, but for unusual monsters I'd choose Krarshtkids probably (so alien, always tricky to fight in their lairs, and many combat options plus a great evil cult to support them), although my players have lurved their Vough foes (Puzzle Canal hags; very creepy-wicked-clever).
I also love dream dragons as they're so bad-ass (unlike typical D&D), have never really had my players fight one even at high rune level.
