Children scare the hell out of me…

"…Feral Small Children…"

Isn't that redundant? I thought all small children acted feral if allowed…

Gracias,

Hmmm… very difficult to compile a top-10. Loved monsters since I was a pup! Think I'll have to split this into books/movies and mythology since both have had a massive impact on my life. Well… here goes:

Mythology
1- dragons
2- kelpies and each uisge's (what's the plural of each uisge? each uisgean? by the way, it's pronounced "ech"-as in loch- "oosh-kya")
3- sea monsters, including the kraken and serpents etc (there's just something about big things living in the deep dark oceans that puts the shivers up me)
4- werewolves
5- the minotaur
6- black dogs (Black Shuck, Muckle Black Tyke etc)
7- Cerberus
8- the Nuckelavee
9-animated scarecrows (specifically pumpkin- or turnip- headed scarecrows)
10- el chupacabras

movie/book
1- Giger's Alien (the original!!)
2- Cthulhu
3- the rancor (Return of the Jedi)
4- Smaug (The Hobbit)
5- pretty much all the goblins in Labyrinth
6- Combat Boomers (Bubblegum Crisis)
7- the Skeksis from Dark Crystal
8- the Borg (Star Trek TNG)
9- the Sea Devils and the original Silurians (Doctor Who- 3rd Doc)
10- Pumpkinhead, probably for 10th place (from the film Pumpkinhead)

As I said it's so difficult because I really love other monsters like Gwanji, Godzilla/Gojira, the Terminator, zombies, graboids, Bahamut (the dragon form the Final Fantasy series, not the Islamic cosmic whale), the Great Aa'Tun to name a few, and I was sorely tempted to slip Gyarados in there too, thus allowing my obvious coolness to drop somewhat…

Cool.
It is hard to make a list of just 10.
