This is the suggestion forum, not exactly the best spot for this.

Scorpions. They just take my shield, sting me, and then I die.

Blizzard men, they are useless. A guy made of essence of ice should cause all sorts of havoc to warm mammalians. Right now, he's just a guy who grapples and fights dirty, and you can hack off more pieces of him than from a normal man. Toady needs to implement cold dangers together with the hot ones. It will come in due time.

Bogeymen.

"Oh, no, the fort where I can pick up companions is a little too far! Maybe if I don't sleep...nope, there's the cackling! My character is doomed..."
Seriously, aside from staying glued to hamlets until you find someone willing to go off with a crazy guy with a sword or modding in a race capable of defeating bogeymen (harder than you'd think), there is NO way to guarantee success that I have found. Even HITTING the %&#<( things is nigh-impossible...

Jabberers

I've had those damn things literally ripping nearly-legendary soldiers apart and then proceeding to attack the civillians without getting a scratch.

I voted elephants, because they're disappointingly weak. They just run from my hunters; they don't terrorize my fortress like they should/used to.

Any form of crocodile, they always seem to come out of nowhere and by the time you notice, your legendary favorite dwarf is a quadruple amputee.

Dragons, because they are so damn underwhelming.

All those non-hostile animals, they terrify my dwarves, interrupt my works, and aren't even a real threat.

Bogeymen, for pretty much the same reason as GreatWyrmGold.

I find bogeymen pretty easy if your adventurer has a slashing weapon, their lower bodies are really easy to lop in half.

My current fortress is being plagued by skeletal yaks. There have been more losses to yaks than any invaders.
