Hi,
Yes, the Butcher is probably the scariest of the uniques. Definitely, a high 'jump in your seat' factor, even after the first time.
As far as regular monsters, I think I would rank the Illusion Weavers at the top, too - the way they just appear out of thin air, often >1 - can really startle you.
And, of course, if playing a low-hp sorcerer, once you know the IW, seeing a couple materlialize in right in front of you, usually induces a strong "Oh sh!t" reaction, while you frantically start casting spells, hoping they don't kill you - yet again... :D
dar
Still, I'm a little surprised no one mentioned Doom Knights - tall, dark, menacing, swinging those whonking big swords down towards your puny little character...
And, then, too, there is something to be said for Lightning Demons, with their quick, aggressive stride, ominous snarl, and pyrotechnic attack ...
And I agree with GriffonSpade - Diablo 2 is a good game, but for me, much lacking in the 'scary' factor compared to the original.
Regards,
Dako-ta
