Black Abbot; he actually poses a real threat to players not only because of his raw power, but because the only weapon that can be used to kill him has a tendency of destroying whatever weapon you had equipped prior to fighting the Abbot.

I voted devourer, cuz I think he looks the coolest and enjoyed his story more.

Both had a great build-up in the quests and lore leading up to them, and both turned out to be such disappointing bosses gameplay-wise, but the Abbot wins for trying harder. ;)

Not only that, it was also made in the era when Turbine cared enough about their content to make us wait ages to make it playable.
err wait....
I mean, It was when the content showed alot more creativity related to the amount of work that went into making it unplayable.
oh nevermind!
Undead still gets my vote.

Hm, another toughie... The dreaming devourer concept is awesome (haven't fought it)... but the Abbot just drips in epicness. As usual, I must go for the more impressive, not necessarilly in terms of strength, but in character.

Tough one. Both are interesting fights, both have neat backstories, but the Abbot has much more "personality". The Devourer of Dreams is a fairly generic "take over the world" plot, only doing so in a way that allows their physical form to exist on our world.
Had to go with the Abbot.

I haven't faced the Abot yet.
Faced the Devourer of Dreams though, but the dreaming dark boss was way too easy to kill for me.
But when it get flaged for the Abot raid I can't wait to see my Lich make the Black Abot do my every whim. *laughes so extremely evil and scary that all the undead leave a trail of fire behind them they ran so fast*

People are seriously picking the Black Abbot as their favorite here?
Come on folks, the guy from nightmareville has this hands down. He's a great villian, in an awesome setting - with a lot of style and danger. The Black Abbot on the other hand is one of the worst raids we have ever had (remember it was unplayable for almost two years?) from one of the most hated adventure chains in the entire game.
Yet people are still (as of this post) picking the Abbot as their favorite? Unbelieveable. :rolleyes:

meh... I can tell how this whole tournaments gonna go already... bad placement of monsters is partly to blame.
In the top, Lailat is gonna be in the final, and then for bottom it depends who wins between Abbot and Velah, my guess is Velah will win the whole thing.
Not the way I'd vote at all... but that's whats gonna happen. I want Malicia to win the whole thing, and Whisperdoom to be the final... for the record I hate Velah and Abbot. Lailat is ok but not as cool as Malicia.
Devourer was so much cooler than Abbot...

Abbot. Every time. He looks cool. Long story leading up to him, great raid now they've fixed the asteroids. Devourer gets props for how his minions all know your name, but abbot. He has gorged himself on the blood of thousands in his quest for immortality.
I don't dream, I have no fear of the devourer of dreams, he is but a stepping stone toward my rightful place as a god!
Black Abbot for Godhood!
How goes it all mighty lord of the undead, dead, living and universe?!
*ENCASEMENT!*
mmmfmmmmmffffffffmmmmmfmfmfmfmfmfmfmffmf
*INFERNO!*
DING!
better idea, how bout we just put the monsters in the pvp arena and watch as they duke it out?

because it's not about who's stronger, it's about who you like more.

I can't go to Orchard and still hear "Abbot this", "Abbot that", "Abbot *#$!". Lady Vol mades Abbot a little cry baby in terms of Lich, Undead and Godhood - if you see Eberron, not only the DDO Game.
In terms of Eberron yet, the Devourer of Dreams is the BIG BADASS villian of DOOM, losing only for the Lords of Dust, spawns of the Dragon Below herself (Khyber). The Devourer has his own country (Riedra), who has 70% of Sarlona's area. He has armies, mindseeded spies in any places of Eberron. If you opposed to the Dreaming Dark, you're a doomed as the Kalashtar, who needs to hide and never says about their race.
The Devourer of Dreams maybe cannot reach the ones who not dreams, but MANY people dreams. A cleric of the Silver Flame, a minor (or major) non-undead lord of Karrnath, a general of the Droaam army... and a Priest of the Abbot.
In another words, if you speak only about "these monster is cool because I'm fight with him in DDO and it's much tougher", fine. Your votes are under your own criterion, you're players of DDO and maybe never touched a D&D book. That's fine.
But, to me, a monster is not only a monster. He needs a story and a fine background. The Abbot only wants turn all people undead and make himself a god. Cool. But the Devourer of Dreams controls minions and a good part of Eberron... for the sake of his people and their identity. I like him most, so I choose him.
Not trying diminishing the Abbot or people who votes on Abbot. I'm just explain my ideas. Thank you so much.

If the Devourer and The Guardian or Whisperdoom were in the finals, that would be pretty awesome. But yeah, raid boss vs raid boss to fight raid boss basically sums it up :/
edit: and yeah, The Devourer is easily the coolest mob on the list, imho.
