At first I was going to say Dragoon M'Nyl- but I kind of felt a little comradery there in FV as we battled. I even miss the guy a little now. So no, my most hated NPC remains: an ancient Jarsath. That dude as I said, coward. He would wait every time until I was swarming with Drolvargs, was down to almost no mana and health, almost done and HAHAHAHAHA! here he is. Hated hate HATE that guy.
What about you? This will prepare me for future hatemongering. What NPC is you #1 love to hate? The one guy you shouted I HATE THIS GUY! the most times?

I'm willing to bet old school players really hate the Dragoons from the OT, aggro one of these mothers, all 5 would run to you, faster than a player with SoW too... if you weren't close to a ZL, you were dead.
Personally, I megaloathe the freeport milita npc who is part of some sort of Rogue quest and is level 100 something, instakilled any paladins who did their 1.0 man.

You're talking to me all wrong... It's the wrong tone. You do it again and I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron.

Oh yes, died to those numerous times when I started EQ, on my first character, a Beastlord.
Another semi old school spot I died in plenty was to the undead "Risen Ancesters" in Hills of Shade, specifically in the tunnels that the Crystallos access quest takes place. They are packed together in a room with live mobs around that one had to pass through to get to the spot to get the ground spawn. I was basically perma-stunned and spun in a dance to death many a times if I aggroed too many. Bittersweet memories indeed..
Pained unicorn... when LDoN was fresh it disrupted a lot of missions.
The flesh hunter (or whatever it was called) in field of bone that was messed up for years... level 30+ powered mob that conned as low teens (in a starter zone) and would wipe whole groups from the newb ramp if someone "just grabbing this red". They actually fixed that one, but it was messed for some time.

Retlon Brenclog
Whenever somebody dragged him out of his hole, he would help the orcs and you'd be forced to kill him, giving you a negative faction hit with gnomes. Now days faction hits aren't as important back then because you can just live PoK, but when there wasn't really a central hub thing it was a big deal.
Equestrielle the Corrupted
This guy was just put there to be a jerk and kill anyone who dared to travel through Lesser Faydark.
Cazel
Back when Oasis of Marr was its own zone it was a good place to level up from 12 to 20, everybody just killed crocodiles happily, until some jerk or failure of an enchanter who attempted to do his/her epic would train this sand giant that would aggro every player that he ran across.

Hm most of these I've not met yet but look forward to a possible hating (though probably most below my level now?). This is what I like about always being the guy late to the proverbial party. For you all of this is ancient history but to me, it's all brand new. I have however run into the two horses in LF just recently. The pained unicorn I can totally see wrecking people- I ran into her and the fight ensued into an obvious stalemate; I could do nothing to her, she could do nothing to me. I sat there for about 10m before I checked her on this site mid-cmbat (I knew I was safe to take me eyes off the screen because it was clear stalemate) and noticed killing her hits faction so I quick gated out and was thankful she was so spell-resistant otherwise I would've hit the faction I was there to raise. But yeah, she is potential nasty, especially in the days of yore. Back when EQ first came out I played it somewhat and made it to LF a few times but didn't stay long because it was deadly, and losing the character there meant losing all my friend's possessions so I veered clear: though there was a time there that I did die, and had the break the news to the dude when he got home from work "Your wizard's corpse is somewhere in LF, not really sure where I lost my bearings" and he just stood there with a blank expression of sorrow.
The black horse I met completely by surprise I was at the elven merchant foraging for Morning Dew when I heard a bunch of commotion from INSIDE the place. I ran over and looked in a window and there the elves are, fighting- nothing. I was like, huh? So I ran around and opened the door and look in and there is a little brownie Thistlebur Underbrush or something, fightning the elf merchants. I'm like "weird" and am about to go in when I hear "tap.tap.EH!tap.tap.EH!" and I turned and her is a pixie called Tipsy Twitterflutter or something, and she can do nothing to me or my armor but "EH!" she's swinging away. So I laugh and run in the place and start fightning the brownie. It gets to the point that spells are going off, and you know how it goes when they're all going off and you can't see; and suddenly it's black smoke everywhere and I hear a neighing and out of the black there is a red-eyed black horse head right in my face neighing; and I thought it was some spell the brownie cast on me, so I run outside to get to a clearer line of sight and turn and there's the horse head still on me and I realize it's not a spell, but a monster. It's an anticlimactic story because I'm high enough level where everything in LR is pretty much no problem, so he went down quick. But it was a fun first contact.

Oh I hear you on this one - and that Freeport militia guy got my Rogue killed several times; I finally ended up deleting the quest.
Rinna Lightshadow, of Commonlands. Back in the day (2001 - 2002) someone would always train here to the EC tunnel where we were hanging out. I was sitting down with a dark elf dude one day as part of a 'language learning group' (yes, we used to do that all the time to raise our skill levels in other languages), when Rinna killed my Ogre SK without warning. No shout train to zone or anything. I managed to kill here the other day with the help of my cleric merc - fight took over TWO HOURS. I would think if SOE is going to put a hostile mob near a popular zone, then they should at least make it killable.
Arthikus, of the Oasis of Marr. He always attacked without warning, and looks just like a mummy, so he's hard to spot. His level of about 30 meant almost instant death for most people in the zone, as many are there to kill mobs around level 15-20. Fortunately, he was pretty rare.
Aqua Goblins, also of Oasis of Marr. Heavy nukers and major undercons. They were hard to spot under the water, so it was inevitable someone would pull them...and train them toward the beaches where most everyone else was hanging out.
Last but not least; Ella Foodcrafter, of Misty Thicket. She's a lvl 50 Druid, and doing the halfling bandage quest won't help your faction with her (Stormreapers). She often paths in a loop from the RV entrance to the 'gate' by the stone wall. She'll run right by the PoK book (at sow speed no less), the druid ring, and down the main path, so you may be under attack as soon as you arrive in the zone. Another undercon, you will have a hard time beating her unless you can fear her to keep her from casting. When my toons were low level, I feared to even set foot in this zone due to this one mob.
If you can't do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly.

Just remembered..Hunter in Icefall.
The mob had a massive aggro range. Probably larger than my characters spell range at the time. Needless to say my beastlord had to get his spells at an npc near the runes in the south east where Hunter spawns. He died twice before I found a safe route around him to the npc. While sometimes it would spawn randomly and attack from nowhere when kiting with my necro elsewhere in the zone. It also casted a dd spell with stun effect iirc.
Nasty mob for an unsuspecting level 70 ish character at the time.

Many good mentions. Just thought I should note, I dislike Frogs too, but that's more of a racial / genocide / look / feel thing. Think of it like this. I'll wear a Brownie illusion, but still want to kill them all, but won't a frog one.
Hunter was annoying, as was the mob that attacked people trying to buy bst / shm spells before they moved the merchants.
Retlon was annoying too, but think I've re-killed him enough to equal it out some.
Cazic was more fun, 'cause at least you could see him coming and out run him. Now when someone would let the spectres loose there, they were small enough they'd pop over a hill and wipe you out, if someone hadn't /shouted or /ooced a warning.

My recent most hated is really not an npc at all. It's that #%^%^#^#^#^#^# gust of wind in the Roost that kills you instantly no matter what your HP's are at.

Man I have to have a brownie illusion how do I get one? I check the site and it's saying something about loot and cards and things I don't understand- can I get the brownie illusion somewhere? I need this in a bad way.

Whoa wait I am in the Roost from time to time and I don't think I encountered this- what is this, where is it? Sounds like bad news and I want to avoid this one.
I've encountered this in 3 different locations. If you're standing just outside the graveyard, looking into the opening, then the first encounter was to the left near the cliff wall. The second encounter was coming into the roost, going down the hill and it was to the right, just past a rock outcrop. The third time was in the tunnels on the level where the Harpie Nobles roam. That one sent me over the edge of the cliff. The last was a 72 Pally, full HP's (28K+) and instant kill.

https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=6899 - There are several ways to get loot cards. You can log into the game (In EQ via EQ Button - Legends of Norrath link) or separately out of game using the stand-alone version. Once logged in, you can buy, sell, or trade loot cards that haven't been claimed yet. You can buy card packages or claim the ones you get free each month for being gold member. Remember to select the expansion loot deck you want for the chance to get one of those loot cards (#2 Foresworn in the case of the 2 brownie illusion loot cards).
Anyway once you own a card, right-click it and select claim in your deck view window, loot cards section, and make sure you pick EQ1. Then back in game (EQ), /claim and refresh and the item should be there for any of your toons to pick.
Another link about LoN: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/Category:Legends_of_Norrath
Hope this helps some,
Yther Ore.

I've only noticed at the edges and it pushes you off. Figured it was death via falling damage, but never really looked at the log, and hasn't ever happened again, as long as I stay away from the very edges. Again, I don't know, just the assumptions I had made about it.

No one else hates Trooper Taer?! Gods I hated him soooo much starting off as a baby Iksar when I first started during Kunark =P He was the biggest pain in the neck trying to kill things on the path to the pit =P
Shadowhunter in Wall of Slaughter. It had a huge wandering range and would agro onto groups minding their own business killing trash for XP. Had a really annoying "spin-stun" spell. I don't pass thru that zone very often these days but when I do I routinely put track up and if Shadowhunter's prowling I will take the 10 seconds it takes to find and kill him just to add to my revenge quota for this mob!
D'Vinn in Crushbone, his backstab was a one-shot kill in the old days and god help you if you were running to the zone without SOW, which was always the way we ran to the zone back in "classic" days!
A lot of players have bad memories of griffins but having track early on as a druid I'd always watch out for them whenever passing thru zones they inhabit.
The scarelings in Plane of Fear! Their super-annoying knockback spells weren't just inconvenient but they could lead to a raid force wipeout if the tank got knocked back into other spawns.

The first two times there was a message about being slammed or some such into the rocks. The third time I was too busy uttering expletives to notice what it said. The 3rd time was over the edge like yourself.

I've never encountered this... and I spent 10 levels and several 100 aa in roost a few years back on my necro --does it only occur on a specific island? However... I did very little kiting in the areas/islands with lots of edge (not enough mobs for what I was doing... I'd only kill there if other camps were full). The first time a harpy did its little stun spell on me that sits you down I was freaked out... seen that kill a few people (generally non feign deathers/meddings that weren't used to their sit animations so they didn't realized that they have to stand to get out of it). The named spawns on kills from roost are semi-annoying if you aren't in good shape to handle them. So I can see some people hating the roost in general. Personally... one of my favourite all time zones, certainly post-Luclin.
Tserrina does some nasty stuff. As does Val Sera... but it was more of hating you enough to be motivated to beat this encounter.
On my necro any summoning mob was hated as it seems like such a cheap mechanic to have on non-uber boss-level (and reward) mobs.
Fiends in Paludal that cast creeping crud on you. That was really hated back in the day --the bandit camps would be overflowing and no one would be killing the fiends if there wasn't someone with the right cures in the group.

The first two times I encountered this was on the lowest entry level. The 3rd, last and most recent time was on the upper level with the Harpy Nobles. I have only encountered this 3 times and have AA'd 6 chars and almost a 1,000 AA's in the Roost. Other than this, I love the Roost.
