This is actually quite a tricky one to answer because I have quite a few faves! But if I had to pick one... The Kelpie (Scottish) / Ceffyl Dŵr (Welsh). They're both basically the same water spirit/monster, but the fact that they can shapeshift, specifically into a horse, are close to home and have the capability of being both creepy and beautiful really appeals to me!
Biohazard Journal Entry: Gibbering mouther If you can see the picture, then you can take a good guess as to why I love (and fear) the gibbering mouther. Being a horrific creature made by the conglomeration of flesh, teeth, tongues, and eyes, nothing less then a detailed picture can get the feeling of having to see, and fight this monstrosity. This isn't just some acidic slime oozing around, those mouths work, and all though they do nothing but "gibber", you will still be scared like nothing else. I've heard of another monster similar to this called a sheogorath, but I haven't see one, nor do I want to see one. It's bad enough having to deal with regular oozes. I don't want one that screams at me non-stop.
When it comes to fear and mystery, there are few things that compare to our well known cryptids. One that really spooks me is the Dover Demon, sighted many times in Dover, Massachusetts. What freaks me out about it are not only all the believable first hand encounters, but how they describe the beast and the precarious nature of its movements. It also looks like an alien apparently and that's spooky.
