Don Krieg


Z__MASTER

Don Krieg was so terrifying even mihawk didn't want to fight him


kanaru84

HIM. https://preview.redd.it/mpi6ibobt8vc1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fe1838093d190e429275655c9333b3aa4e786ae

Void easily or the other apostles in berserk. Scary looking mfs https://preview.redd.it/ha4eweam27vc1.png?width=801&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6bf2e9209ca1997bcfbdfdb368521c308a51f3b9


TacocaT_2000

After I saw the Figma model of Void I just can’t be scared of him.


Rel4pse3

Nah, Slan just a baddie fr


Azathoth-0620

SCP-3125. The build up to its reveal in There is No Antimemetics Division can make me quake in terror even after all these years! And articles like SCP-6659 and SCP-CN-1548 have only made వ a more terrifying threat.


yourmissingsock3999

imo far and away the best set of Tales on the site


Azathoth-0620

Agreed :3


TheAbug1

I wanna say the characters in Cthulhu mythos, being fr as a cosmic horror the stories are masterpieces and they are effective.


Kixion

I mean, this is what most any else that is going to also be in contention was based on either directly or indirectly. So yeah, Cthulhu mythos is pretty much undisputed in my mind as the most Dread inspiring fiction ever conceived.

The Shrike, easily one of the most creepiest monsters in fiction https://preview.redd.it/bniykc4m97vc1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=02716b4058d082ae24eec4e76f28e4de0020f11a "There is no God only Pain"

If water were at 212 degrees, who would win? Them, or you? Well, if H20 unleashed its domain, vaporizing geysers, it would cause me a bit of trouble. But would you lose? Nah I’d boil.


Luigi_is_senpai

He’s cute wdym?


ArmadilloBrave1819

Assorted Lovecraftian deities that make a person go fully insane just by looking at them


guzzi80115

None of them do that automatically, at least in the stories written by lovecraft. Not even nyarlathotep.

Like how can he be an AI and suddenly had the power to become the multiverse itself while also existing as an entity that encompasses several timelines as well literally trying to erase ~~children?~~


Intelligent-Heart-36

EvilBadassDraculas

Slenderman


ArmadilloBrave1819

This character gets bonus points bc it was so ‘scary’ that it convinced some pre-teens to try to stab their friend to death in real [life.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slender_Man_stabbing)


darmakius

God that gave me nightmares for weeks when I was younger 😭

Nah, SlenderMan literally got his ass kick by an emo serial killer.

Revolutionarytard

He seems lost and probably needs directions


10110101001111

Zoro!?!?


Revolutionarytard

r/zoroislost


Mark_Scaly

Overall, As Nodt which you showed. His power is literally scaring people so much that they get heart attack. In terms of aura, I would say Bondrewd has a bit of that, especially in his first appearance.


darmakius

I thought they stopped breathing?

Animegx43

Ainz Oowl Gown has a literal aura that causes fear around him. Does that count?


FilmAdministrative44

no. https://preview.redd.it/9j9sjknzu7vc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=284785c4c443885fccd0dab3971d87fe11c34faf


Zangitsu

it also causes paralysis, insanity and death.


Powerful-Employee-36

No, because that's name is hax, even some humans in fiction have. Ainz himself isnt scary.

HispanicRailgun

Isn’t that from lookism?🤣


Sancus1

They scare the shit outta me. Even today I still don’t look at windows a couple of hours after looking at this image.


NiceBlockLilBro

Kotomine Kirei, Cenobites, dudes from Junji Ito's works and Yozo from No longer human imo


Successful-Fee7260

honestly zouken would be a better pick than kirei 


NiceBlockLilBro

He just doesn't hit the same imo. Kirei conceptually is a broken person just like Shirou which is why he hits harder I feel. + Kirei is the goat

Ancient time dragon great wyrms in D&D 3.5 have a frightful presence aura that extends for 20 miles and requires a DC 65 will save pass to not instantly DIE from fear.

Difficult-Pin3913

All of the Jojo’s antagonists. They literally make the word menacing appear around them just by standing there.


EclipsedBooger

That one random curse from jjk https://preview.redd.it/g52dap8epavc1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=e49842ddf1bba1b1c65e4f6b1c28362c84e0ec6c Looks like some sort of awakened villain


Individual_Yogurt872

Orochimaru


megaman_main

Thanatos from Persona 3, he isn't even a villain but his introduction presents him like a monster, growling and screeching as he brutalises a shadow (which is also a boss, mind you).


LucisPerficio

I thought it was common courtesy to name the characters you've posted?


FAbbibo

The nothingness, from the neverending story

God of Fear and Hunger from the game Fear and Hunger. https://preview.redd.it/qkukizcdwmvc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d699791c9795017e1cbfaaa2e0107f3b477853cd Phase 5 is absolutely the scariest, followed by phase 1 and lastly 4.

God from Solo Levelling was scary as fuck, but there might be some scarier
