Which level 5 monster is the best?

I usually play as Necropolis and Conflux, so I'm not particularly afraid of the gaze ability, but Gorgons also have good defense, attack, and health, which makes battles more challenging. Sometimes it's easier to defeat Wyverns and Hydras than Gargoyles, so they are strong even without the gaze ability, just like Dryads, but I still prefer the latter less, even though they are powerful.
