So you're just cruising along, playing a cool rpg in the early areas of the game when you run across a new monster. You check the statrs, and holy hell, this beast has like forty levels on you and before you can hit that run button, you're watching the game over screen. Hell you didn't even know the game had a game over screen.

So this is a thread about fun, or not so fun encounters with running into high level monsters or perhaps some late game Mark Hunt that makes a low level area it's home, or even just running into a rare monster that you have the slimmest possible chance of meeting before it murders you. Tell your tale.

Here's the reference for the thread title by the way.
