Honorable Mentions (sort of):
I will indulge you with these mentions not because I see them fit to notify so much as to avoid the inevitable quarrels that'll arise without due explanation as to why these monsters are not on my list. As if my word as expert weren't enough for you lesser hunters. But I suppose there is some vidality in opposition.
The first monster to bring to attention, and probably the most controversial, would be Jackson Jekyll and Holt Hyde. And no, that is not technically two monsters. Two people, yes, but only one monster. The amount of imbeciles I have to correct on that one...
See, when is comes to fighting, neither of this monster's forms exceeds the usual, with the Jekyll boy being outright pathetic. While Hyde might outmatch a human teen, he is average among monsters. From what little we see of him, anyway. And I am aware of their fire elemental lineage, but this has yet to manifest to any noteworthy form, so I feel right in dismissing it.
Now, where I expect the real arguments to rise is in the similarities in intelect between Mr. Jekyll and Ms. Yelps. While both are top notch students and excel in academics, there is a marginal difference. Jackson succeeded by memorizing formulas and ratios and then repeating and expanding on them to a minor degree, but he lacks the cunning genius and ingenuity that Ms. Yelps has. Ms. Yelps recognizes patterns and applies them to more than one field, expanding possibilities and intertwining various elements. Jekyll has more tunnel vision, he learns his field and learns it well, but doesn't see how it can affect other day to day things. Additionally, he does not work well in a tight situation. Or, quite frankly, any situation outside his comfort zone. Abbey doesn't need to be in the room for him to freeze up. I will accredit his vast knowledge of the chemistry field, but unless he devises a portable lab to use at any instant, it won't do him much good against other monsters or hunters. Besides, most useful potions take time and precision, things that can't be afforded on the spur of a moment.
The biggest hurdles these two face is a lack of control on their transformation and a fallout of communication. While one is active the other is completely dormant and therefore oblivious to the going ons. This makes any communication and planning difficult on a good day, let alone the day you face the greatest monster hunter to walk the earth. Trust me, poor communication is the root of many of the worlds problems.
The second monster I should mention is the voodoo doll that saunters around the halls. Never in my days have I seen one quite like him. His power is very unique in that he cannot feel pain, but those around him certainly can. That, or anyone from which he barrows a possession. This should make him powerful except for one thing: he is extraordinarily dumb. The possibility of using his power for revenge is quite beyond his comprehension. He doesn't know genuinity from manipulation any more than he can tell the blunt and sharp end of a knife. To this end, he could be useful… But dangerous? No. He is a big puppy dog with all of the fangs but none of the bite.
The last monster I'd like to mention really is an honorable mention: Wydowna Spider. She is the timid type and not one to come out of her hole unless absolutely necessary, but the skill in the webs she weaves is uncanny. I don't doubt that she has the wit to create elaborate traps, but Crabgrass has gleaned very little information of her so I have yet to decide if she poses any real threat.
If there are any further disagreements… take them somewhere else because I don't care. I am the superior monster hunter and therefore will not waste my time averting every grievance.
Hellsing might not like your opinions, but I do! Feel free to speak up if you disagree or think something slipped my notice. And just for fun, if anyone was by any chance wondering who is a the very bottom of the list, well, lets just say that as much as I love Skelita as a character, she doesn't have a lot going for her in this sense. Who knows, maybe it's the underestimation that would really give her a leg up.
Till Next Time,
Rainstorm
(PS I'm not sure is 'genuinity' is actually a word. The word 'genuine' is usually used as a description, not an action, so I don't know if it's valid. But it sound like something Hellsing would say, so whatever ;)
