Re: Monsters Who's Art Absolutely Terrified You. [Any]
Two words: Atropal Scion
Spoiler
But other than that, how about the Slaymate:
Spoiler
Oops*, I mean this one:
* Yes, I know posting that was weird and/or nasty, but it was the first image that hit me after a google search for slaymate, and it struck me as so outright crazy that I just HAD to post it. I apologise.
Although, now that I think about it, the first picture freaks me out slightly more than the second one...Last edited by Colmarr; 2009-07-01 at 11:13 PM.

Re: Monsters Who's Art Absolutely Terrified You. [Any]
Warning: Not for the faint of heart. It's not traditionally scary, but...well...judge for yourself.

Re: Monsters Who's Art Absolutely Terrified You. [Any]
Can't say that any art has overly bothered me all that much.
The Atropal Scion is a really cool pic too. Was going to see if I could make something like it in a high enough campaign one day.Current Avatar made by Pessimismrocks for the Battle for the little world - Fields of Blood game!

So yeah, this thing disturbs me mildly. Not much mind you, but enough. Also, a cookie if you can tell me what it is.

Also, this picture of the deepspawn is creepy. Great monster, but scary.Last edited by arguskos; 2009-07-01 at 11:40 PM.

Re: Monsters Who's Art Absolutely Terrified You. [Any]
It's a giant living pimple. Favored minions of the Demon Prince of Acne.
Anyway, the Atropal Scion is one (definitely scarier than the actual Atropal).
-Kythons (BOVD). They are pretty freaky on their own, but I found the gore in the artworks more than a little unsettling.
-While the art wasn't used in a monster entry, the illustration from Heroes of Horror that features Grandmother and Uncle Chortle (a green hag in the form of a fat old human woman and a gray jester) at a table with a group of glassy-eyed cannibal children was very disturbing.
-The Wyste (MM2). Giant alien leeches. It didn't help that the artwork is coming from a really odd perspective. At first I thought it was the view from inside the pool where the wystes are swarming, but the more I look at it the more it looks like it's the view from above. And when you realize that each wyste is Huge-sized...
-Baalzebul's art from Fiendish Codex 2. Gastropods have always squicked me, but between the dark, eerie, misshapen ethereal face Baalzebul has in FC2 and the cartoonish drawing of him in BoVD, I find the FC2 art a lot more terrifying.
-The art for the Worm that Walks in Elder Evils, especially the art in the actual chapter. *shudder* I find it seriously creepy because it's vaguely humanoid, yet isn't. The 4E art of the same monster in Open Grave felt like it had a much more human face, so it didn't seem so scary to me.
-The Taunting Haunt (MM5). It's a clown. Clowns are scary. The Taunting Haunt in particular is grossly misshapen and has an utterly crazed expression.
I can't really post pictures since I'm at work, though.Last edited by AslanCross; 2009-07-01 at 11:44 PM.

Re: Monsters Who's Art Absolutely Terrified You. [Any]
I'm never too freaked out by art. That said, if anything's going to give me nightmares, it's the bog hag.
Spoiler
It's that second eye, the only thing left of the human face that the bog hag was wearing ... it's still staring at me ... still glaring at me with intense hatred as the flesh is peeled away and falls into the swamp below ...Last edited by FoE; 2009-07-01 at 11:45 PM.

Re: Monsters Who's Art Absolutely Terrified You. [Any]
I think the Carcass Crab deserves special mention for the freakyness. For those who don't know, it's a horrific pile of dead soldiers in various states of decay merged into a killing monstrosity. Its claws are jagged shards of rusted armor, and the spikes on its back are banners, polearms, and heads on a pike.

The Splinterwaif
Spoiler
It just looks so unnatural for some reason.
Even worse is the Chelicera. I couldn't find a picture, but its from the MM3, and its basically the most horrid, terrifying, dreadful spider conceivable. And its dragging a human corpse.

Re: Monsters Who's Art Absolutely Terrified You. [Any]
They say only the insane know on the final days of their life. The doomed regard the taste as that of a thousand screaming souls being devoured while an infinitely malevolent force laughs. Don't eat the deep cookie.
Thanks for finding it though. I only own the ECS so I've never seen the Eberron Cadaver Collector.Ask me about our low price vacation plans in the Elemental Plane of Puppies and PieSpoiler

Re: Monsters Who's Art Absolutely Terrified You. [Any]
Let's see. Someone with more inclination than me can seek out the pictures of these beasties... I'll just list and describe 'em.
Psurlons, from MM2. I hate annelids anyway, and Psurlons are giant evil earthworms with arms and scary high intelligence. Terrifying.
Thoon Thralls, from MM5. The fluff is creepy to begin with (doomed thralls who will only know peace when ordered to explode by their illithid masters), but the picture just squicks me the hell out. Thoon Infiltrators aren't much better, but... who am I kidding, yes they are. Thoon Thralls are horrifying, just from the picture alone. I don't know what it is about the thick, veiny growth that terrifies me so much, but dammit, it DOES.
Brain Golems, from the Fiend Folio. If you can't see what's horrifying about a stumpy, humanoid-shaped brain, something's wrong with you.
I'm none too fond of the pictures of the Tsochari, from Lords of Madness.
The Odopi, from MM3, is also pretty horrific, but it's pretty cool as well. I'm on the fence about whether it's more terrifying than it is awesome or vice versa. It's a big (Huge, in fact) orange ball of arms, with eyes in the palms of its many, many hands. It reminds me a little bit of the Eyes of Valmar, from Grandia II.In the Beginning Was the Word, and the Word Was Suck: A Guide to Truenamers

Re: Monsters Who's Art Absolutely Terrified You. [Any]
The carcass crab is actually just a "normal" giant crab that glues stuff to its shell. Full info here, if anyone's interested.
The splinterwaif is just twisted. As I recall, it turns children into bramble and eats them.

Re: Monsters Who's Art Absolutely Terrified You. [Any]
No images in books really scare me. I guess because I know their all-just pictures. However the closest I think was the vampire clown from D20 modern. My natural dislike of clowns combined with that mouth full of teeth was slightly unsettling. I’m too tired right now to bother digging up a pic, I’m sure someone else can though.

Re: Monsters Who's Art Absolutely Terrified You. [Any]
While some of the creatures are creepifying, Most of them just sort of instill a sense of disturbing fascination.
Then there are things like the century worm that make me want to throw up.

Re: Monsters Who's Art Absolutely Terrified You. [Any]
Don't know if "terrified" is the right word but these things:
SpoilerBloodhulk:
gross me out. Just the feeling that if I poked one it would pop and I'd get covered in nasty stuff.
Incidentally, looking through my books to figure out what those things are called made me think that we should also have "Monsters who are supposed to be scary but who's art made you want one as a pet".
Many more examples there in my case.Last edited by Starscream; 2009-07-02 at 01:27 AM.

Re: Monsters Who's Art Absolutely Terrified You. [Any]
Well yeah, but they look kind of like big zits, so I'd imagine pus and stuff too. And as undead there are probably still organs and things in there that would splatter all over.
There aren't many things found within the human(oid) body that I would care to be showered with, come to think of it.Last edited by Starscream; 2009-07-02 at 01:37 AM.
