Subject: The Greatest Monsters in Video Games, Tv, and movies.
This thread is slightly inspired by the best of the bad. But what about the mindless hulking creatures that are kinda of not evil but still want to destroy the human race?
Choose which one freaked you out the most and/or gave you nightmares/ or you thought was just awesome.
Well basically what is your favorite/most loved monster from TV, Movies, and Video Games?
Of course I am going to start things off with 5 monsters. 2 of which are from doctor who...
The Silence
The Weeping Angels
EL- Gigante
Reavers from Firefly...
And last but not least.... The lord of terror himself.
I don't know why but he is a great Monster himself and an Evil Jerk...
Diablo
Spread the thread!

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Godzillia may be the biggest. But not everyone will agree.
Godzilla is clearly the most awesome.
Agreed, Godzilla can cause millions of dollars in property damage just by turning around...and that's before he even really gets started wrecking stuff.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, and in stranger aeons, even death may die.
/thread for real this time
AND he fits in every fiction genre ever. Fantasy? Throw in some Cthulu. Sci-fi? Throw in some Cthulu. Noir fiction? Throw in some Cthulu. Historical fiction based on the English Civil War? Why, everything is better with Cthulu!

Heard so much about him that I was hyped hugely to fight him. When I finally fought him, he did not disappoint and beat me to death with fire.

I have some skeptikism on this one. Because he was defeated by strawberry short cake.
plus he only appears on southpark twice. So my question is does he really count as a monster because he is a god. not a monster. So Blam.

If Gods aren't allowed, then nor is Godzilla, because he is the God of zillas.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation
