Favorite monsters

[Demolition_Human]

Howdy Escapists, Demolition Human again with another fave topic. The topic today...monsters!!

Who (or what) are your favorite monsters in tv, video games, comics, etc., etc....

I think one of my favorite is Godzilla. Godzilla is a classic in giant monster movies and he is freaking awesome!!

 

[mrvenom]

The alien in the Alien series.. Deadly, sneaky and extremely well designed.. When fought in their own environment, they can blend into the walls and are extremely difficult to see.. The Aliens movie had a great scene involving this.

 

[Hazy992]

Puh-lease! It's all about Gamera!

A sabre-toothed turtle that flies with jet power. What's not to love?

Also Mechagodzilla, because the only thing better than Godzilla is another Godzilla that's also a robot.

 

[Mr. Q]

I've always been fond of werewolves. My two favorite movies with these hairy beasts is American Werewolf in London and the original Howling.

But, when I'm in a city destroying mood, I perfer Godzilla.

This guy!

A monster to only kill the ill informed or hasty?
I love it!
It often gets bashed as just being a joke monster but to those who are facing it without knowledge it can be fiercer than any dragon.

 

[Sixcess]

Daleks.

50 years of Dr. Who, they're still the show's best bad guys.

Spoiler

And Raymond Cusick's design is a classic - after all this time, barely altered, they still look good. One of the great sci-fi icons.

 

[Adventurer2626]

Dragons I suppose though I generally don't think of them as monsters. Since I'm fully immersed in nerd culture, I generally consider them part of the natural fauna. Otherwise I'd say werewolves, as well.

 

[Spiritmaster]

Uh... Beholders from D&D.

 

[xplosive59]

The humble Mothra Lavae:

And of course Mothra, but we all know what that looks like so here is a plush:

So cute.

 

[Zinzinbadio]

I like vampires as a monster since they have good themes and Dracula can always be the big boss at the end. I like how they can be used to reflect the darker human side. That and Vampire Masquerade and Castlevania are some terrific games.

Hmm.. if we're doing aliens as well can I tag in the Weeping Angels? Damn those freaky time-buggering stone jerks, but they make one hell of a good scary episode.

 

[Little Woodsman]

Any kind of monster?
Well then for my daughter & myself it can only be

Spoiler: spoilered

Catterpie(s)
Soooooo cute!
Teddiursa, Horsea, Cubone & Oddish definitely get honorable mention though.

 

[Izanagi009_v1legacy]

For me, It would be the Rebuild of Evangelion version of Ramiel which has become a giant transforming laser creature

 

[ninjaRiv]

Lots! Pyramid Head, probably. But I really like Slender Man, too. Not because of the games but because he's one of the first modern monsters (by modern, I mean.... Really recent) who has had a lasting impact on our culture. I like that. I know he has his origins in older stories but still.

This little bundle of goo. C'mon you gotta love that face.

 

[sextus the crazy]

The kind that fit in your pocket

Also, the angels from evangelion and anything from Berserk.

 

[Gormech]

I'd have to say the tonberry from Final fantasy. Kinda liked the idea of a karma-based attack. The dagger and lantern thing is kind of unique too. Just wish you could learn that thing's moves with a blue mage or something. Always seem to die to them.

 

[SoranMBane]

Graboids, of course.

The giant, uncannily smart man-eating worms from my favourite movie series of all time.

 

[Headsprouter]

Hell, yeah! I loved that series, too. The TV show was also enjoyable.

My favourite Godzilla monster. Can't beat a giant bug!

Spoiler: Me, of course!

Headsprouter is just...cool. As. Shit! Yeah- Welcome to the mine, MOTHER-FUCKER!! Gimme dem clavicles!

Shout out to Insect Mutant, Big Daddies, Timesplitters in general, Dingodile, Scorch from Spyro 3 and those things in the level "Jacques" from Spyro 1...

I just noticed 3 of them are shirtless...

...I don't know what that means, but they also all wear brown trousers and have sharp teeth. All are also created, not born.

CORRECTION: Scorch's trousers are purple.

EDIT: Oh, yeah! Goliaths from Borderlands! One part adorable, innocent little dumbasses, 2 part, rage-filled, rampaging badass killing-machines! "Hide from me all you want, *****!!!"

Spoiler: Goliaths

LITERAL HEADSPROUTER

Video games are all about the monsters for me. Especially when it's twisted, sick shit, but don't go overboard with it. Headsprouter hit the nail on the head, with me, and it helped that he featured in my favourite game ever!!
