Monster's Equipment
Only a few monsters will carry equipment. This includes Amazon's Valkyrie, Assassin's Shadow Warrior and her Shadow Master. Since they're covered in a separate FAQtoid this one's restricted to actual monsters.
Blood Raven
She uses a rare short bow. This is defined in MonEquip.txt. Itsinternal level (iLvl) equals her monster level (mLvl), so in higher difficulties it spawns with better affices.
Note that this doesn't mean she will always drop a short bow on death. Droppings are completely independent from assigned equipment.
Blood Raven is able to shoot Fire Arrows similar to Zon's skill. This ability is not granted by her weapon.
In Hell difficulty she always uses Knockback property, which is also not granted by the weapon. This is defined in MonProp.txt.
Flying Scimitars
Some traps in Act3 may spawn Flying Scimitars. Those are indeed equipped with rare scimitars via MonEquip.txt. Similar to Blood Raven iLvl equals mLvl. Unlike to her Flying Scimitars treasureclass is defined to drop always a scimitar, cutlass or athagan, if any.
the Ancients
All three wear magical equipment. In Nightmare exceptionals, in Hell elites, if existing. Equipments iLvl again equals mLvl, the latter without boss' level bonus assigned.
All this is completely hardcoded.

Flavie
Just a little joke here :c)
Flavie is quite robust, in fact she can't be killed. But she doesn't wear any equipment. In all difficulties she delivers1 to 2 damage, which is not that impressive. In Normal you may see her actually killing something, later this is categorized in 'american tobacco products and their consequences'.

melee ranges of monsters
Despite most monsters wear no equipment some of them still have enlargened weapon range assigned, which is done in MonStats2.txt. You'll surely notice that if your character goes melee and wears a weapon with small range.
