Well?
Either the ones busily doing evil as a result of some tragic backstory and/or lack of attention, or the ones you genuinely feel sorry for and would like to console.
That or any you just really consider so friendly you'd love to walk up and hug them.
So anything from a sarcastic "I guess nobody loved you enough" to "Aww, poor thing, things really turned out badly for you, didn't they?" to "Wow, you're adorable/awesome, can I have a hug?"
Plenty of options there.
Yes, you may nominate a proxy hugger for the ones you think might react a bit too viciously to you trying it yourself. |

This would easily work with Illithids 
And aboleths. Though I'm not sure I'd ever want to mentally hug one.
There are many "monster" names in D&D that I think are just perfect. Aboleth, Illithid, and Beholder are among my favorite. |

Forgive my Realmsian ignorance, but what are the ghazneths?
Former Cormyrians of great import, who betrayed the realm in some fundamental way and were cursed to become some of Cormyr's greatest threats. At least one was a former king.
Read Beyond the High Road and Death of the Dragon for more info on them.
Ahh thats right, i thought the name sounded vaguely familiar. I read the Cormyr Saga but it didn't really click well with me.
Brian "Garen Thal" Cortijo has provided some nifty tidbits about the ghazneths, over the years here at Candlekeep. They're interesting reading... |

I'm starting to want to hug Storm now that I'm reading Bury Elminster Deep. And maybe Glathra, just so she'd stop being such an over-bearing be-otch.... |

True enough. I'm sympathetic, but I'm still wanting to hug Kyriani. |

I've hugged people who smelled worse. |

Y'know, I'm more of the opinion that if an individual wears an aura of malevolence, death, fear, and life-sucking - regardless of its source - then the onus for neutralizing the aura shouldn't be placed elsewhere. If such individuals really want any hugs then they'll just have to assume the initiative and address their own undead hygeine first. Undead malevolence is not a simple case of being misguided and ignorant; it's a fundamentally unnatural antithesis and perversion of life and death.
You wanna hug Xingax, go ahead. Squick.
Once he knows my intention, he himself might endeavor to try to "shut down" his aura of malevolence temporarily. |

Exactly. I would So hug Mirt...and more if I could.

Aye.
Though, now that I think about it, Mirt would probably resemble something of a "stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder."

Not a few are confounded and ask, "How can one be a squatter in her own country?" Such is the grim reality in our country, even in the highly industrialized parts. |
