Depends on the format. Even though it sounds terrible on paper, I really love Assault Vest Kartana with heavy invest on SpD in VGC, since it avoids getting OHKO/2HKO by resisted special hits and can be a life saver more often than not.
Kartana in general is a great and versatile mon though. You can run it on many different ways, despite its shallow movepool.
kartana and xurkitree are the most alien ubs to me because you can't tell how their faces work
obviously nihilego doesn't have a face but it's just a jellyfish

What frustrates me about this image is that this is all really basic origami in the background, like 7 steps max besides the crane.
