I'd like to make a squad of evil iconic characters, NPCs that have banded together to go on adventures and who end up running into good adventuring parties, then escaping to fight another day. There would be some turnover in the group, I'm sure, but I'd like to start with a first-level party consisting of a warrior, a scoundrel (they're all scoundrels, but you know what I mean), a divine spellcaster, and an arcane spellcaster. So far, I've got an orc barbarian, a goblin rogue, and a kobold sorcerer. Are there any creatures without a level adjustment that have Druid or Cleric as a favored class? Or am I going to have to resort to an evil human or evil half-elf?

Gnolls favored class isnt cleric but you could try a gnoll cleric of Yeenoghu. LA+1

Drow females favor the cleric of Lolth class. LA+3

Lizardfolk favor druids. LA+1

Troglodytes favor clerics. LA+2

Sorry no LA+0's, the lizardfolk or gnoll seem like the best ideas IMHO.

Nothing new to really offer if you're only wanting suggestions from the Monster Manual. I do have one correction though, the drow is only a +2 LA, not +3. I thought of another while I was writing this too, the Gnoll has two racial hit dice, which wouldn't make it all that great of a choice.

So with no +0 LA creatures with cleric or druid as a favored class, the best +1 LA or higher creatures would be:

Lizardfolk (favored class: druid) +1 LA or
Drow (female)/Troglodyte (favored class: cleric) +2 LA

EDIT: A couple of examples of creatures found in other sources, though not particularly evil:

Frostburn:
Uldra +1 LA (favored class: druid)

Races of the Wild:
Raptoran +0 LA (favored class: cleric)

Sandstorm:
Bhukas +0 LA (favored class: druid)
Painted Elf +0 LA (favored class: druid)

If you use online sources, then a kobold cleric could even fulfill the function of the "rogue" as far as trapfinding. The Kobold domain in the Races of the Dragon web enhancement gives them the Trapfinding ability of a rogue. Then you could make the 4th party member a monk or ranger or something.
