Top 10 most formidable monsters whom was severely nexon'd

Hellu, let's have some fun. I will give you the list of some of the most serious threats of Maplestory who got owned throughout Maple History. Feel free to add to the list. You will put 10 monsters from the most severely downgraded to the least.

The game: Here is the list of monsters to pick from, feel free to add your own.

Jr. Neckies: These little snakes with massive avoidability for the low levels. Messing with them usually means a crapload waste of potions.

Balrog: Previously a serious threat even to careless 4th jobbers (bowman/thieves and slingers). He was dubbed the king of beta. What is he now? A weakling who deals 400-600 damage and can be killed by level 60's.

Golems (of any kinds): The best of early maplers have trained here. Now they are for the 2x people. I remember the time where they mean death to low level non-warriors, no dark sight thieves that fells down that pit near Henesys that was filled with these guys.

The Tauromacis family (forgot the name of the dude with ice spear): They were annoying obstacles on your way to Balrog. Every so often they caused you death at lmpq. Now their damage is.... in the 100's.

Elderwraiths: Ever tried to train at windraiders bowmen and slingers? Remember these emo dudes in hoodies who always kill you and your attempts of just trying to level? Remember how many % was lost to these guys? Fear not, they now only do in the hundreds.

Crimson Guardians: 3-5k damage for whoever is trying to train in Hall of Mastery. They're no jokes. Their fatness is a hassle for non-thieves who try to push their way through. Now they only deal 1.4k damage.

Anego: Needless to say eh. 17k slap is now gone.

Bigfoot: A horror to non-dark-sight travelers who is trying to train at Crimsonwood Keep. They pop out randomly anywhere and hand you your bum every encounter with the 11k damage from just touching the [i]string[/i] of the lolipop. Even my 14x mage with maxed magic guard got 1-hit-koed. Now? A pitiful 1k damage.

Royal Robots (boss, forgot name, in Neo City): Most warriors, even the level 200 ones, have trouble landing a hit on this guy. They were exclusively for bowmen due to massive 17k touch damage and massive avoidability.

Papalatus: 8-9k bombs now deal 300-400. 5k touch 2nd body now does only 2k.

Did Pianus got owned too?

Edit:
Scarlion: 6k-3k touch damage

Targa: 5k-2k touch damage

Crimson Balrog: 4k down to 1k damage. He is the terror of ship passenger during the Orbis-Ellina flight. The catch is, THEY EVEN KILL YOU WITH TOUCH DAMAGE IN DARK SIGHT! 4k damage, enough to take out low 4th job bowmen/NLs/corsairs.

Samurai: 3k sword damage to 1 damage. 9k lightning to 3k.

Showa boss: 4k touch damage to a mere 1k.

Wolf Spiders: These were probably one of the most difficult monsters to train on from 70-90. The spawns were massive, they move fast with 1.8k touch damage. Any lag/potion mistakes will result in your tombstone. Now only do 20 damage. Little more than 1% of the original damage o.o

Jr. Boogie: A status caster. A real pain while training at boars and fire boars. High avoidability for its level. Darkness, lower exp, poison. Now a level 10 can kill it.

Emperor and his toad. 15k damage down to 2-4k.

Black Crows: New damage info please? Used to deal 7-8k damage and kills almost anyone who trains at hime.

Bodyguard A: 26k-4k, probably the biggest nerf so far o.o

Zakum: The #1 Big Bad back in the days. He needed to be fought in party. Level 200's take hours to solo. Now 120's people can solo him. New damage info please?

3. Elderwraiths
4. Crimson Guardian
5. Tauromacis
6. Golems
