Here is the Balrog, from Lord of the Rings. It is a terrifying opponent, sufficient to send a band of epic warriors, each of them capable of fighting dozens of normal enemies, into running without a fight. Of course poor old Gandalf, sans kid gloves, is the Balrog's equal.

[-1] Shroud of Darkness; when not standing in broad daylight, Balrog take no penalties to stealth or being hit from Hulking Size.
[-5] Balrog are immune to fire, radiation, extreme pressure (including falling damage and most explosions) and metabolic hazards (such as poison/disease, starvation or suffocation). They take half effect from mortal weapons and magic. Non-mortal magic and artifacts affect them fully.
[-3] Maia Senses; all Maia (which Balrog are) can see and hear much farther than normal, sense Power and can see most things as they really are.
[-1] True Strike
[-1] Demon of Might; Balrog use Endurance as a defense vs physical and mental attacks and maneuvers
[-4] Fire of Udun; the zone a Balrog is in is immolated as if by a major forest fire, counting as a superb natural hazard. Weapons and natural attacks the Balrog wields deal an extra 2 fire damage.
[-5] Scion of Darkness; a Balrog can perform darkness-based maneuvers, blocks and attacks at range at his Intimidate+2 with weapon 2. If he limits the attack to only his own zone, he can perform zone-wide effects that affect all but itself.
