1) as an enthusiast of creepy creatures, nightmareish stories and i get ecstasiatic in being frightened to death... yes i do <3

2) err... look up

3) difficult to say... Khezu and Gigginox make an excellent "nightmare", as their leech-faces (let's not make Mara allusions? heh...) applied to a pale dragon who lay larvae eggs instead of cute chubby dragon chicks... well... that's scary.

but my own choice falls on Nerscylla

when you see those bags of Gypceros meat... well, you really realize THAT is your nightmare, even for not-spider-phobiacs like me

4) Megaginasu... knowing that having an opinion here is quite a problem, i'm scared to say that to me it looks like drawn by a child... to me.

on the other side, while liking Tetsucabra being inspired on oni-sumo-wrestler and their look... i have to say that monster does not scare me at all, as a cave dweller. have he burped monster bones at me would have been quite different. that big guy have to work harder to impress me! *cracks a whip* come on big dude! time to exercise!

5) forgive my sudden metamorphosis to a gym teacher, in the previous question,

well, as long as they look nightmareish, and creep me out, i totally want!

6) well, as i learned that the more you create new monsters, the better it gets, i'd be enthusiast to meet the new creature

7) currently, Chameleos is the best candidate as a cave monster (even if not technically a cave dweller)... actually... any monster from the sunken hollow is a candidate, included the omnipresent Deviljho (father of all nightmares with its deformed-t-rex look)

Gore Magala and its "blindness" recalls alot the features of most cave monsters... chaos gore for being the creepiest creature around... nah... Cave is less "tragic", more "creepy"

8) well... i'm not really into fan-made creatures... really. i'd only make it "creepy". and base it on my own fears (snakes and sharks... and sharks aren't fitting)... a silent creature that leaves corpses around (like nerscylla), maybe, or who doesn't kill them, but feasts on them like that one vampiric leviathan from frontier? OR WORSE, they lay eggs on their victims! giving hunters a short time to heal or get a very painful internal blast compared to the slime damage! i bet you're shivering in the corner, right? i'm already feeling the drums <3

some scary touch is to determine -what- do they eat, as Popos and Aphtonoths aren't enough scary to feed on... imagine entering a place with tons of... uhm... maybe Najarala? (snakes eating other snakes sound enough creepy) ... those aren't really small fries... so whatever awaits you has quite a dangerous power

so be it, snakes, empty-eyed black venomous (and smaller than najarala... like mambas and cobras), cannibal and egg-layer in corpses...

don't judge me... i just tried "mixing up creepy stuffs"
