That's probably the most preventable strategy used in any of our raids in offense or defense, both sides included.
I fail to see whats so difficult about mushrooming a monolith on the ground, especially when it doesn't even take any balance or equilibrium to do. Can very easily unstral and just attach mushroom to monolith;pinchaura target;pt brazier target on eq (bal?) recovery
edit: that said, sorry for the language. This shouldn't have been posted on forums (no worries @Kresslack) but I legit don't see how its so preventable.
Jhui gently affixes a mushroom sigil to a monolith sigil, and upon contact, both are destroyed in a magical explosion that leaves Jhui bleeding and hurt.
That said, it's semi preventable by being shielded on a worldburning shrine or a stack of stationary guards. The problem isn't that it has no counter, the problem is that the counter encourages overly defensive play that is uninteresting for both sides (also the case for truename harvesting).
Or you could just respond during the EQ of the Occultist human'ing.
Only way that will do any good at all would be to deal so much damage as to make him run without wasting EQ of pinch aura, or to keep them 100% hindered and unable to do anything until dead. Both of these are illogical and fairly difficult to accomplish when dealing with someone like @Jhui, especially when we don't have hangedman.

NONE OF YOU CAN EVER TALK SHIT ABOUT MY ANIMALS AGAIN. Hmph.
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. The Golden Dragon
Mephaos' imposing form looms.
You see exits leading north, southeast, and west.
Narrowing your eyes, you squint off toward the north.
An icy prison cell (indoors).
Fused to the wall at his waist, a ragged prisoner howls in frustration while swatting at the air.
You can see no further.
Mephaos says in a calm, mediated voice, "Mine."
Mephaos tells you, "Claimed, now get out please."
You have slain a berserk prisoner, retrieving the corpse.

You curiously ask in a demure voice, "You are hiring on me?"
Mephaos says in a calm, mediated voice, "You've chosen to do something utterly stupid, so yes."
Comprehension flashes across your face.
You say in a demure voice, "Okay."
Preparing for a deadly strike, you draw yourself up into a regal pose.
In a single, sinuous motion, you manoeuvre your imposing form to encircle Mephaos's feet, fixing him with a penetrating gaze as your tremendous jaws open wide.
Mephaos moves his huge bulk to the out with surprising grace.
With a dismissive snort, you resume a casual posture.
The Dragon Mephaos thunders in from the out
You move over to block the out exit.

Mephaos says in a calm, mediated voice, "Where in the sentence did I call you that?"
You say in a demure voice, "You took my 82 gold. And then you called my actions of killing your things in response stupid."
Mephaos says in a calm, mediated voice, "Don't kill steal then."
You exclaim indignantly in a demure voice, "And then you threaten to hire on me!"
You say stubbornly in a demure voice, "You stole my 82 gold."
Mephaos says in a calm, mediated voice, "Stole? That was -after- you stole my kill."
Mephaos says in a calm, mediated voice, "So we are even."
You say in a demure voice, "It was not."

The flesh attaching the mad occultist to the wall shrivels away and he slumps to the ground.
Lican, a mad occultist has been slain by Mephaos.
A small pile of sovereigns spills from the corpse.
You pick up 75 gold sovereigns.
Mephaos says in a calm, mediated voice, "There's your gold."
You say in a demure voice, "You owe me 7 gold."
Mephaos shakes his head.
You nod your head affirmatively.
Mephaos says in a calm, mediated voice, "You got it back with the bodies you've stolen from me."
You say in a demure voice, "I did not steal bodies from you!"
You say in a demure voice, "I am no serpent."
Mephaos rolls his eyes.
You exclaim in a demure voice, "You owe me 7 gold!"
And I thought it was bad when I kept getting baited into those arguments in level 40 zones.
edit: I was cloaked and hunting once and someone kept hitting what I was working on, I never complained, and I politely handed them a dolomite and sent them a tell of 'eat dolomite!'. They yelled at me for insulting them and threatened to have their 'people' grief me. I was so confused. I asked what they were talking about and eventually puzzled out that for some reason they thought 'eat dolomite' was akin to 'eat shit and die'. Once that was cleared up, the other person started calling me 'kid' and huffily informed me that thirdeye wouldn't do anything, so I gave up and just stopped responding. That character was over 90 years old.
I had to troll him for trying to "claim" an area. I usually just leave if someone's already bashing, but telling someone to leave is just asking to get trolled. I had fun with it!
KS'ing is pretty dumb (I'm looking at you @Atalkez), but arguing about it is even dumber. Threatening to hire on someone when you're a) a dragon and b) and active combatant, is the dumbest. You guys should just fight over territorial rights, and whoever loses has to vacate the hunting grounds for three months, then they can come back and challenge again.
edit: ffs, took me four tries to work out the anagram that is your name and spell it correctly.

I just wanted to shake him SO SO hard for saying that. How. Many. Times. must the admins specify that they don't believe in 'kill stealing'? That's even why they added the auto-get corpse when you kill stuff, specifically so people would stop using that as a lame excuse to rage and pk. Claiming that kill-stealing is a legitimate thing, is like (insert clever analogy here).
Yeah, I've been hunting before and people have come in and killed something that I've been attacking. Happens all the time. Do I get angryface and flip my shit? No. 99% of the time the person apologizes and no harm is done. If they don't apologize and keep doing it, then I just go about my business and find another place to bash. When you honestly bash to dragon, you get -so- accustomed to moving/hitting on the same stroke because of patterns in bashing routes. Sometimes people are already in a room when you do it, it happens.
Moral of the story: @Tesha, how dare you follow the rules and act maturely in the face of these shenanigans.
Neither of you particularly covered yourself in glory in that exchange, but seriously, trying to "claim" areas?
Edit: Clarity
Hiroma tells you, "I just got to listen to someone complain about your deadly axekick being the bane of their existence." Archdragon Mizik Corten, Herald of Ruin says, "Man, that was a big axk." Hellrazor Cain de Soulis, Sartan's Hammer says, "Your [sic] a beast."
well that was by far the most childish thing I've seen in a while
Clearly, he was writing a new chapter on 'Divine Law'.
Taken from the Book of MyLand chapter 1:
"And yea, did the Mephhiah declare, 'All that my feet touch is become land that I alone may bash in. And woe unto you fools, who dare hunt the land that I hath claimed for mine own use - thou shalt feel the thrice-fold punishment of Grief, Trash-Talk, and the mightiest of all - Issue.'
And so it was that the decree was in force - no human, mhun, rajamala, dragon, or any other man, woman, animal, mineral and vegetable may hunt that he wished to hunt. And yea, many did fear the thrice-fold punishment for this gravest, most terrible, most serious business of crimes.
And so did the Mephhiah look upon the cowering masses, and smiled."

Only way that will do any good at all would be to deal so much damage as to make him run without wasting EQ of pinch aura, or to keep them 100% hindered and unable to do anything until dead. Both of these are illogical and fairly difficult to accomplish when dealing with someone like @Jhui, especially when we don't have hangedman.
