However, you've reminded me of my only beloved "dangerous world" moment in an mmo. The Fel Reaver, in Burning Crusade of Wow, was a giant world boss that stomped around the first zone, and pretty much instantly murdered anyone he stepped on. He didn't drop loot, didn't have a reward for killing him, and pretty much existed just to step on people who were too tunnelvisioned to notice a building sized robot slowly stomping toward them.
