Here are the 1000 pl monsters that my characters have faced:

Lizardman Warrior - Lizardman, M, 70, A, Hand Axe(6)/Fist(2),
Studded/Great.  Probably lvl 4-5 tailwhip.
Very fast and agile.  Dodge/retreats a lot of attacks (Hungry was 0/22
including 4 tailwhip attempts).  Does not take a lot of damage if you can
actually hit it.

Rat Demon - Keep meeting these on Patrol City.  Other, ?, 48, A, Claws(4).
A total pushover.  Sure, it can blink and dodges well enough, but two
hits take it out.

Veteran - Saurian, M, 66, H, Battle Axe(5)/Claw(5), N/N.  Another easy
kill.  Bumble usually takes one down with two hits on adventures, but it
took three in the guild.  Ocassionally ignores attacks (big mistake),
mostly parries.

Warrior Shaman - Saurian, M, 65, H, Short Spear(5)/Claw(5), N/N.
Probably Hugh's answer to the lacking Veteran.  Casts Power(2), Speed,
Heal.  Mostly parries.  Takes enough damage off attacks to be unharmed
frequently.  Not very fast.  Bumble went 5/13 against one without being
attacked.

Orange Ilsoren - Half-Elf, M, 64, L, Spiked Gauntlet(5)x2, N/N.  Fairly
fast and a good dodger.  Uses blink.  Unfortunately (for it), it closes
to short range to use its gauntlets and, therefore, cannot blink.  Kicks
could not get through Bumble's chainmail.  Cannot take a lot of damage.

Kreek - Other, M, 68, L, Warhammer(5)/Spiked Shield(5), Studded/Light.
Kicks a lot.  Bumble evaded all eight attempts.  Fairly fast and can take
a lot of punishment.  Spiked shield frequently absorbs enough damage to
leave it unharmed.  If it didn't kick so much, it would be dangerous.

Ooze - Blob, ?, 42, H.  Hungry was 3/3, and it never moved.

Lurker Herdling - Minotaur, F, 90, L, Battle Axe(3)/Punch Dagger(5),
Studded/Light.  Fast and can deal damage with its punch dagger.  Doesn't
take a lot of abuse, though.  Hungry had fun knocking it down with her
trained push.

Rotting Zombie - Zombie, ?, 76, H, Heavy Mace(4)/Fist(4), N/N.  Just
stands there and ignores attcks.  I've only lost when my character
inexplicably missed two ignored attacks.  Slow, deals damage (if allowed
to), takes medium abuse.

Armored Skeleton - Skeleton, ?, 72, L, Halberd(6)/Spiked Gauntlet(5),
Plate/Great.  A good dodger, and also tries parrying.  Not very fast.
Hungry sent it airborne with a hit.  Takes a good amount of damage.

Warlock - Human, M, 73, A, Dagger(4)/Fist(1), N/N.  Retreats to extended
range as an action.  Medium speed wasted always moving back.  Therefore,
it does not cast many blasts.  Chase it around until you land a couple hits.

Felldwarf Sniper - Other, M, 48, A, Hand Axe(4)/Fist(1),
Studded/Leather.  Trouble with a crossbow, but in the guild a waste of
time.  Will stay at long range.  So, if you use a long range weapon, you
never get attacked.  Decent dodge.  Doesn't take much abuse.

Felldwarf Champion - Other, M, 45, A, Great Axe(6)/Spiked Gauntlet(4).
Pretty slow.  Mostly parries.  Takes a fair amount of abuse.

Hobgoblin Chief - Other, M, 82, H. Broad Sword(5)/Medium Shield(4).
Parries pretty well, average speed.  Takes more damage than I would have
thought.

Hell Hound/Large Wolf Spider - Always have trouble with these fast biters.
They never miss Bumble and do good damage through her Chainmail.
