This is just a survey on favourite monster families of Spiral Knights. Also give a reason on why that it's your favourite monster family. It doesn't have to be a legitimate reason, it can be for something like looks or how they move.
Mine are Gremlins because I like elemental powers and abilities and I think that they look the coolest.
I would say Constructs because of elemental but Gremlins feel more superior than Constructs to me because they've created some but they haven't created all constructs.
The General Discussion forum has a much higher concentration of polls than I remember before my 11-month break. Anyway, my favorite monster family is the Beast family, for a variety of reasons: first and foremost, they gain the most profit. Sharp Fangs and Beast Scales sell for more than the other 1* materials, and the same is seen with Monster Bones, Bushy Tails, Drake Scales, Warp Dusts, and Chroma Tears. They are also fairly easy to deal with (provided you use non-elemental swords) since the devs removed their aiming capabilities. Even before that they were easy to kite.
On a more subjective basis, I find Wolvers cute (in both look and sound) and the first 4* set I made was Mighty Cobalt, so my first ventures into T3 were with pierce protection.
