Strictly talking about vertebrates, there's so many options to choose from, but I'd go with the Giant Armadillo (Priodontes maximus) because Armadillos are basically the back-boned version of isopods and this particular one is massive among others. Ravens probably come in at a close second due to their large size, overall spooky vibe, and awesome speaking ability. I adore lots of other odd things as well like species from the orders Accipitriformes, Cingulata, Pilosa, Pholidota, Chiroptera, and Rodentia, along with the genus, Lepus, and just fish in general.

The egg crate in the Armadillidium vulgare "Orange Vigor" enclosure was actually used in their previous enclosure for months where things were more ventilated and the substrate got a tad drier. When I moved it to the new enclosure, It seems like it somehow microbialy was already used to the conditions in isopod enclosures and somehow resists it now? The other egg crates I have in enclosures which are basically identical or even drier than the aforementioned enclosure are somehow molding, so this supports my theory a bit.
