Which enemies do you hate coming across?
In BG1 I really hated ettercaps, with their stupid poison and web traps. Plus they're fat and gross looking. When I first played the game I was scared stupid of Ankhegs, because they're so easy to accidentally bump into when you're level 2 or 3.
In BG2 it's the SCS version of yuan-ti mages. Oh how I hate these guys. What's worse is there are a LOT of them. You get them in the Keep, they can near the ruined temple (Unseeing eye), in packs of 3 in the planar prison, tons of them in Spellhold. Ugh. They're magic resistant, always improved invisible, always with fireshields, PFMW, stoneskin. Plus they ALWAYS cast greater malison and chaos. You can't even bomb them to oblivion because of their MR and they seem buggy because sometimes they seem to take no damage. Before you go through the giant head in Spellhold there's a pack of 3, with a greater yuan-ti and some regular ones. I cast time stop, dragons breath and 2 ADHWs: it only killed one mage, one was barely injured and one was uninjured.

The don't look like real threat, you don't focus them or prepare defenses againts them. But they still can screw you hard, which is something you can't say about other low level monsters.
Every time I'm trying to move on from some horrible experience, she's there.
I try to talk to my foster father, she's there.
I weep over the corpse of a fallen friend, she's there.
I try to move on from the horrors of Irenicus, she's there.
I show up in some sort of pocket plane, and for Bhaal's sake, SHE'S THERE.
Seriously, how many times do I have to kill you before you get it through your divine skull that I want you to leave me alone?
For me, I hate beholders. They are difficult to deal with w/o cheese or HLA.
Vampires have cost me an arm and a leg restoring my levels.
Anything that can hit me with a hold spell when I'm being swarmed.
Liches for the damnable timestop.
Golems in general.
Cowled Wizards for forcing me to buy a bloody permit.
Renald Bloodscalp for taking me guild away.
Nahlia for not giving me a keep.
Kobolts just because the rat faced buggers have unlimited fire arrows.
Any worshipper of Illmater.
Spiders in general because any spider bigger than a coin should be killed.
I'm sure there are much more monsters I hate although but then again, I have issues. Also, Nahlia is a monster in my eyes and Renald should be considered one. He's worse than a Pay day loan.
Also, that spider area of Cloakwood. I go in, make a beeline for the spider nest, get that done, and get the heck out. Stupid traps + stupid Imoen = annoyance.
Probably well aware of how puny they are, they always attack in large groups with their bows. And if you're not careful they may even best you that way... Cowardly creatures.
There is no fun, no honour and no reward in battling this vermin.
In BG2 vampires, beholders and illithid somehow make me want to kill them reaaly bad, but they aren't nearly as annoying as the kobolds in BG1.
Also their poison packs a punch and they've got good health.
BG2: The freakin low level groups that ambush you when you are moving between overland maps. They aren't even difficult they are just annoying! Plus after the first ambush the gear they give you isn't even good (except for the scrolls for selling/re-memorizing)
BGII - Gauths. Motherfucking gauths. Much like the previously mentioned Mephits they don't tend to pressure us to cast protective spells, so they do boatloads of damage and cause general mayhem before their inevitable demise.
I do kinda hate mephits in BG2. They are such a pain. there was this one in the maze level of Watcher's keep in this room full of Demons. Well, I wiped out the entire lot of Demons except this one Mephit who kept on using his unlimited use Invisibility. He would pop in, attack someone and the disappear. No matter what spells I used to divine his location, He'd appear and then disappear again. I chased the bugger for almost an hour before giving up and going somewhere else (it was a scorched earth policy so he HAD to die).
I'd say Umberhulks are up there in my book. Certainly I hate the confusion. it's a real PITA every time I have to wait till one of my Tanks recovers before bringing down the hammer. And my guys are surprisingly effective in harming their own team members when under the 'fluence...
I don't include Mind Flayers or Beholders because you KNOW they are dangerous and fully prepare against them. Umberhulks and Mephits are more nuisance creatures and you don't really want to waste perfectly good spells (or spell slots in anticipation of same) on them. At least I don't.
Also Sarevok but mostly UMBER HULKS!
Even beholders, at least they give you an appropriate xp payoff for taking them down, but not vampiric mists...noooooo
EDIT: Ninja'd by a drow again!
Still, I agree that they are a PITA with the invis and the level drain hit.
and those Mists are so easy to hate, they level drain+invisibility+haste+horrid sounds that annoy me+horrid graphic that they made me hate=I hate them.
What I really hate though... GOLEMS. They always start Hasted, cast Slow on every successful hit, do ridiculous amounts of damage, and have super magic resistance! Not to mention they're only hurt by blunt, magic weapons! (All the archers on the team: TT_TT ) The small ones aren't so bad, but every time I see an Adamantine Golem pop up on screen, I can't help but cry and whimper for mercy. ;_;
Another creature I hate is the werebear, it's so legitimate to 2E D&D that it seems like cheating.
Another creature I also hate is the werefox, it's so cheating to 2E D&D that it seems legitimate.
