I love dragons! Both the European dragon and the Asian dragon are beautiful in their own way, and I love just how varied and how mind-boggling big they are

I recently watched the latest Aliens movie and I think the half human/half alien monster was my favorite because it was absolutely terrifying. Whoever thought that one up did an amazing job!

Medusa is easily a specific favorite, but if we're generalizing - Vampires.

Okay I know it’s not cool and exciting but I’m a vampire girl through and through. Twilight sunk its teeth into me and never left go.

I love a hydra/Eborsisk moment (especially when Val Kilmer, as Madmartigan, is slaying it in Willow).

I’ve always been fond of vampires! And werewolves! An entity that gives me the chills however, is the Woman in White! Or any ghost children. And clowns. I’m basically a scaredy cat! Lol.

Hmmm…monsters are a hard one. I guess I’d have to say human beings. There are some people out there who truly are monsters.

Perhaps they are too cute to be considered monsters, but my current favorites are the Will-‘o-Wisps in The Hunting Moon. I love them!

My favorite monster recently is the Spectator from Baldur's Gate 3/D&D. Something about them is so creepy, yet oddly cute to me. Also a big fan of the classic Pennywise.

Nøkken! It's a scary creature in norwegian folklore. Guess it came to life to explain why people dispeared without trace in the woods or drowned there...

my favourite kinds of monsters are ones that arise out of the shared fears of a community and thus their folklore. i love love love a cryptid like mothman or delving into different representations of other creatures like bigfoot across communities and cultures.

I love a vampire, but lately I've been more interested in werewolf stories. Either way, they feel like "classic" monsters in a fun way.

I think the worst monsters are those that look like humans but are possessed or possess darkness.. those that scare the mere mortals with their power and their lack of empathy for human weakness.. and therefore the favourite in books..

My favorite is probably a griffin or a sphinx. I just like the mash up mythological creatures. For the luminaries universe however my favorite/the one that freaks me out the most is the changling.
