What's your scariest artifact guardian?

I was under the impression that the DV/PV of a doppler king was set upon the monster generation, and did not vary dependent on which tactics setting you switched to or what equipment you changed. I could be wrong of course...

Mine was a Revenant... not all that mighty, ages ago and don't remember what it was guarding. Not that the "not all that mighty" would have mattered to a 5 HP, low level PC running away from something else... and then that rat bastard comes from 'round the corner and one-shots him.

According to my quick testing with doppleganger king, the DV/PV seems to be changing according to PC:s current DV/PV. This applies also to the speed of doppleganger king, so getting some speed boost doesn't help agaist them.
Tested it by creating a doppleganger king with wish and then changing my tactics and equipment, checking doppleganger king's stats with blessed stethoscope after each modification.

I seem to remember with my drakeling spitter being unable to hurt a doppler king in the library even after removing lots of equipment to get PV down - I presumed it was because the monster's stats aren't dynamic. A healer with a blessed stethoscope could test this best.

The easiest one was a barbarian. That is it.
The scariest one was easily your face.

Ever been to DH2 just to see that green ) in the distance and assume no monsters guard it?
Wrong, a named extremely experienced invisible stalker in melee range against my lvl35+ wizard.
Sad end, especially considering I didn't really need the serpent's bite. Next time - no DH without seeing invisible.

I once met a named master swordsman on UD: 7. He was wearing the Bracers of War and ripped my beastfighter to shreads.
