Like many of the great monsters mentioned within it, our Ten Best Monsters feature caused a number of surprises. You were surprised by our picks, and we were certainly surprised by your responses.
We surprised you by picking the Baron of Hell from Doom over a certain other monster, which appears here at the number two spot.
You surprised us by choosing four of our own picks as your favorites.
We surprised you by picking the wight as our number one monster. Perhaps it will surprise you even more to know that we didn't. Our picks were listed in alphabetical order.
You surprised us by not picking any monsters from Final Fantasy VII for your top ten. Even more surprising was the fact that two readers picked "Final Fantasy VII" as their favorite monster.
And finally, the biggest surprise of all: Our readers' choice for the best game monster of all. It wasn't one of our own, and it seemingly came out of nowhere. But it is a great monster, indeed.
