Version 0.15: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Unique monsters are monsters that are generated only at most once per game. They are usually much more powerful than normal monsters, but provide much greater experience. As such, they can be considered the "bosses" of Crawl (although not every unique is guaranteed to appear in every run, and by no means are you required to slay every unique you encounter).

Dungeon Sprint Uniques

C Chuck the Collector - A stone giant armed with a large rock of returning and an anachronistically awesome cap.

C The Iron Giant- A colossal construct capable of firing iron shots and summoning iron elementals.

Y Nellie, Star of the Show - Standard hellephants cannot compare with Nellie in terms of raw ferocity or adorableness.

Retired Uniques

@ Duane - A large-eared mercenary who had rather average abilities.

@ Francis - An aged wizard who had an assortment of spells.

@ Jozef - A mercenary who would poison and slow opponents before moving into melee or pelting them with sling bullets.

@ Michael - A human spellcaster who had a very basic spell list.

@ Norbert - A human warrior who had little in the way of distinguishing characteristics.

p Terpsichore - A phantom who would have been able to bring nearby weapons to life as her allies.

N Lamia- Although stunningly beautiful, this sorcerous naga queen was cannibalistic and mad.

Generation

While every game will present a fair number of them, most uniques are not guaranteed to exist in a given game. The only ones who are guaranteed are:

The four unique Pandemonium lords: Cerebov, Gloorx Vloq, Lom Lobon, and Mnoleg
The four unique Hell lords: Antaeus, Asmodeus, Ereshkigal, Dispater
Geryon
The Serpent of Hell
The royal jelly
If the Shoals are generated, Ilsuiw is guaranteed to appear in them

Source Code Notes

From mon-util.h, line 133:

M_UNIQUE            = (1<<21),        // monster is a unique
