'I'm coming back for you' - What memorable mob or player did you mark for death?

Every now and then in MMOs I come across a mob or PK that became a post-it on my wall, a personal mission for a future date.
One notable mob was Son of Arugal in World of Warcraft. He roamed Silverpine Forest which was a level 15-20 or so area and he had a rather wide aggro range, probably because of his level compared to players. It seemed I was always with a group of players back then and no matter how many people we had, this werewolf-looking monstrosity would have us running for our lives - the fortune ones that didn't get clawed to death, that is. Either way, it seemed every low level player tread that area a lot more cautiously after their first encounter with him. 
I was probably level 30 or so when I was PvPing in a nearby zone (Hillsbrad?) and saw in chat that some group got torn up by SoA and wanted help fighting him. I was like "Oh yeah, I remember that bastard," and sent a tell that I'd come help them. Hunting him down and giving him a taste of his own medicine was a pretty enjoyable experience.
As for PvPers - Kaz the Minotaur in UO. Pacific server, I think. The guy was a beast at PVP and after my first disastrous encounter with him, he became my personal gauge of how I was progressing at PVP. Whenever I felt I was honing my skills some, I'd head out to hunt him down and try my hand at defeating him. At one point I had gear set aside specifically for battle with him. The most humorous part of it is that this guy probably had no clue about this obsession I had developed or why I started actively hunting him and was probably rather confused when I'd come careening at him outside dungeon Covetous or his other usual PVP haunts.
What mobs or players ended up on your personal to-do list?
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

Yeah I was gonna say Son of Arugal heh.
This BH in SWG, cant remember his name. When I was a smuggler, he would take my bounties and I would light him up in space. He hated me so much because my gear on my player sucked, but my ship was decked out in some of the best parts to ever hit the server. He would chase me across the planet and I would hit the nearest shuttleport and launch into space. I remember getting so many hate tells from him lol. Every time he followed me into space, he'd lose. I would disable his ship to where he couldnt move or fire and tell him to drop my bounty or "boom". Good times.
It sounds like you made it to a post-it on someone else's wall.

Interesting thread. I definitely distinctly recall roaming too far north in Redridge Mountains in WoW to the Burning Steppes and being heavily penalized for my exploration in the form of an encounter with a level 50 fire breathing dragon whelp who seemed to spit fire at me from half a mile away. Upon reaching level 50, I made it a point to return there to go on a dragon slaying rampage.
It felt good.
This topic reminds me of this old vanilla WoW revenge video.
I know I had similar experiences in FFXI before I ever played WoW, but I can't really remember any specifics. You really couldn't explore anywhere in that game alone at low levels.
hehe probably. The gear on my smuggler was purely cosmetic, so if he ever did catch me before I could launch, I was 1 shotted. Thats what made it so tempting for him I guess. I did have a 6 second stun, though. Sometimes id hide around the corner by a shuttleport and stun him just to make sure I made it into space lol. damn what was that guys name!
Pfft,..hands down for me,
FIPPY DARKPAW from eq. this roaming Kobold in the newbie zones that would just run up on you.
"Baaarkk! You've ruined your own homelands! ,..You won't ruin MINE! BaRRK!"
I'd look foward to returning to the bank in town just so I can drive by him.
LOL! We called them Sneaky Devilsaurs. Surprisingly quiet for such roomy creatures.
Lol, yes, Fippy kicked the crap out of my newbie characters back in the day. I always failed to notice he wasn't just one of the yard trash.
In WoW it was that big mechanoid that stomped around Hellfire Peninsula. It used to squash me effortlessly when I was levelling up there, but when I was 80 I used to return the favour every time I saw it. (I've forgotten what it was called, as it was quite a long time ago.)
Holly Windstalker in EQ2.
She always walked in on me and killed me.
Fel Reaver.
Holly was another one,..originally from EQ 1. But different starting area.
She really really really didn't like people killing animals,..hehe...
Yes, thanks - that was the beastie.
I think she had a brother, too? They killed me more than once, the rotters.
In WOW the giant dinosaur in the Ongoro crater.
In UO too many silly monsters that just looted me :P
Yes, that tyranasaurus looking thing in Un Goro was a pain in the arse. I can't even remember if I could solo him at 60- might have been in BC.
I'd have to agree on Son of Arugal and those rape-a-sauruses in Ungoro Crater.
Defias pillager, fun times though
