Top 10 Scariest Dungeons and Dragons Monsters 

Did YOUR favorite Dungeons and Dragons monster make the list? Let us know in the comments!

The real monster is the DM...

We all know the scariest monster is a crit 1 on literally any given scenario.

They forgot the one most frightening D&D monster ..... The Rust Monster, Because it eats your gear.

2 words you never want to see together: "Flesh" and "golem".

Just here to mention that intellect devourers exist, they walk in packs, and they can two shot anyone without legendary resistance...

To be fair to the list makers, the scariest monster in the monster manual is up to the individual person. But for me, Atropals hold a special place in my nightmares.

Mind Flayer needs to be on here. Ancient Red Dragon also. With the Tarrasque.

Scariest monster? The players People have no limits when it comes to their cruelty in d&d

The Mind Flayer Proxy/Flayed was the best Stranger Things monster.

Tarrasque should've not been an honorable mention. That was the inspiration for the Fallout Deathclaw.

Crazy how the monsters in stranger things are considered to be d&d monsters

Of course they would talk about Stranger Things.

Seriously? Murder-hobo PCs terrorizing everything in their path are the scariest monsters of all.

No HM for Rust Monsters? Dwarf in full-plate: "Twenty orcs? Too easy." Also Dwarf in full-plate: "One rust monster? You're on your own."

I think you guys confused the Carrion Crawler with the Purple Worm. The Purple Worm is the one I'd compare to the worms from Tremors or Dune.

Seen all, fought all, killed almost all of them and died to the ones we couldnt kill R.I.P. Greggor, Knimm, Sven and Kor...

The monster in stranger things season 3 is far more similar to an oblex than a blithering mother honestly

3:29 technically, basilisk's stare can kill you if made direct eye contact. Indirect contact can petrify

In my first campaign as a player, 2 members of our party tamed a manticore in the 6th session or something. Became our favourite pet throughout the campaign We called him fluffy

Should've had Purple Worm, Behir, Bulette and Remorhazes.

Gelatinous Cube, my boi just wanted a hugg

I had the book of Mind Flayers. Mind Flayers are terrorist ninjas.

Fitting that WatchMojo forgot the worst and most terrifying creature: The False Hydra

I've never played D&D but I've always wanted to.

everytime someone talks about a mimic i get flashbacks to the mario piano

I always feared the Githyanki. Any race that squares off with the Mind Flayers are not to be trifled with.

I love your channel your my favorite channel keep making great content ❤️

two words you reather not want to hear from your DM at lv1 and having only 6 to 9 Hp "Roll" and "Initiave" and your party are facing kobolds but you dont see them

Before even learning about Mind Flayers, I once had a dream where one showed up. It was a really weird dream that I hardly remember, but I remember someone at the end pulling off their face like a mask and revealing a Cthulhu esc face and an evil Wizard outfit. It said “Aha! It was I all along!!” Then I woke up. After learning about Mind Flayers, first thing I asked was “Can they enter people’s dreams and mess with them?”

If you want to know more about DND I recommend: • MrRhexx • Dungeon Dudes • Web DM • Aj Pickett • The Dungeoncast • Nerdarcy • The DM Lair • Taking20 • The Exploring Series (touches on it) For DND stories: • All things DND • Neckbeardia • MrRipper

Top 10 Monsters We Can Not Stop If They Were Real.

Who else expected Tarrasque to be number one and was disappointed? Dingo Doodles: "All it does is kill, eat, sleep, and repeat."

Forgot to mention that the main big eye's gaze emits a cone of anti-magic, nullifying all magical spells, effects, and even item magical effects, and properties.

I haven't played D & D in decades but the one I hated the most was a Wight. Those bastards are hard to kill and they got magic user ability.

The Beholder is one of the inspirations for The Cacodemon from DOOM

BTW, DnD's only favorite Monsters of mine are Dragons

They should have looked at the old D&D advanced Feind Folio.. Spooky stuff in there for sure!

One thing to note, there isnt a Tarrasque. There only THE Tarrasque. Each universe only has one Tarrasque and being in the mere radius of it automatically inflicts you with fear, its hide is resistant to all magic, it is immune to illusion spells, it regenerates health as well as being immortal. The only way to "kill" a Tarrasque is to reduce it to ash and then cast a Wish spell to banish its soul to a different plain. They also have an appetite equivalent to multiple Deviljho from monster hunter so thats also a thing. So while not as smart, they are ten times more dangerous then a mindflayer.

More DnD lists please watchmojo

If I had a dollar for every time I died to a dracolich, I wouldn't need a job.

I think a mind flayer is the creepiest

You want a Scary monster look up “worm that walks”

The intellect devourer is also really nasty, and they often are teamed up with mindflayers

People who really play dnd know this list is a joke we all know the true scary monsters... the flumph

Skum are the slaves the abeleth made of small men. Skum are fish like men. Controlled by abeleth.

As someone who's been involved with the hobby for over a decade now, I've seen more than my fair share of terrifying monsters in the game. This list, truthfully is woefully inadequate when it comes to listing the most horrifying and scary monsters in the game's long history. You want nightmare fuel in the form of monsters from this game, here's the way I'd have presented this list based both on a monster's appearance and abilities. #1) The Tarrasque (because it would eat anything else on this list, along with anything and everything else it encounters, and is completely invulnerable to normal means of destruction, including spells, magic items, and the like.) #2) The Demon Princes and Arch Devils - A collection of specific monsters that include Asmodeus, ruler of the Nine Hells, and Demogorgon, the Prince of Demons. As powerful as they are though, they are still able to be killed. #3) True Dragons (Red and Gold dragons specifically are the most powerful examples of these monsters) #4) Bone Devils -- While I could put most demons or devils here in this slot, the Bone Devils are certainly among the most terrifying in both looks and capabilities. [Even though they are less powerful than both Balors and Pit Fiends). #5) Illithids (aka Mind-Flayers) - They are certainly monsters worth noting, but they just don't measure up to the others. #6) Beholders - They come in a variety of forms, and each one is extremely dangerous as well as terrifying to look at. #7) Aboleths - They only rank this low in the list because of how rare it is to encounter them, as they live Underwater in Underground caverns, but even a single Aboleth is a serious threat to entire nations, as it can easily dominate and enslave any other sentient creature that it encounters. #8) Gibbering Mouthers (They aren't too hard to deal with ability wise, but they definitely look like they belong in a Lovecraft film) #9) Flesh Golem (with Vampires being a solid contender here as well) #10) Mimics (They belong on this list for their abilities only) Honorable Mentions: Szass Tam, the Archmage Lich, Most Oozes, Yochols, Lycanthropes (Werewolves, etc etc). There are too many to list here honestly, so if I haven't mentioned something that you genuinely believe should be in the top 10, it is safe to say it would get included here.

I am going to add a castle in my campaign that references the Castlevania series

hold up, The Terrasque is known as the Unkillable Dinosaur and the Balor explode on "death" in the material plane, they also don't die just go back to where they come from

top 10 classes and top 10 races in dnd should be next

Surprised the video examples didn’t include more of these creatures as seen in Soulsborne because those games love them some D&D monsters. Also. Gotta give my own shout out to the Gelatinous Cube because because a good GM will trick helpless party into walking right into one pretending to be a room

When You're So Early You Dont Know What To Write

Should've had the False Hydra on the list.

A Tarrasque has a CR of 30 and should be higher on the list. The only other creature would a CR this high is Tiamat.

Some monsters I would've liked to see mentioned: 1- Nightwalker 2- Marut 3- Demilich 4- Neothelid 5- Aeorian Nullifier 6- Atropal 7- Typhon 8- Pit Fiend Summoner

Fitting, considering Mind Flayers/Illithids are the main villains of Baldur's Gate 3

Here's a scary monster: Grog Strongjaw when he's drunk.

An honorable mentón is missings; Goblin Slayer.

Imagine your toilet is a mimic. Still think it belongs in n9?

My brother had a few D&D monster books when he was a kid and there was one... can't remember what they were called, but they were basically giant undead floating fetuses that were described as being gods that were stillborn. They were creepy looking and were really high level monsters too like the Tarrasque which was also in that same book.

I have an D&D OC that is a skeleton but he's actually an Immortal Nuclear Chaos like being that protects multiverses and his friends and the Mind Flayers are his greatest enemies.

Next list, most useful spells and cantrips in Dnd. I vote Counterspell and Eldritch blast

Laying here at 2:53am browsing my recommended. Yeah I'll sleep easily for sure now😀😀😀☹️☹️☹️☹️😢😢

I don’t know who made this list, but honestly a beholder and Aboleth should go higher on the list from just their CR alone. Also the Tarrasque is a literal world eater and only a wish spell can permanently stop it, not sure how it’s not number 1

The Tarrasque, an unbeatable world destroying terror, is just an honorable mention? And what about Tiamat or a demilich?

ah yes flesh golems aka humans...

You forgot the scariest thing ever: the Toothy Maw

I do have my first DnD Monster Manuals before the Pandemic. The scariest monsters in my opinion are the Aboleth, Devils, Drider and shadow Dragon

google FBC13 algorithm already and don't worry

The Fear of A Monk: Every fucking thing that has Spell's that are high level.

Honestly, the Tarrasque should be number one. That thing can quite literally eat entire colonies of mind flayers. Also, no fiendwurm? (Monster Manual 2, 3.5e). A giant wurm that can puke up an endless supply of demons. If you need a level 20 TPK and don't want to waste the Tarrasque, use a fiendwurm.

WatchMojo: Carrion crawlers are reminiscent of the sand worms from Dune… Purple Worm: Am I a joke to you?

Also called the ithilid, the mind flayer gave me nightmares for over 2 years

It seems like some of the things from the entries were lifted from The Exploring Series videos on D&D.

People at watch mojo never stepped on an animated rug

I recall carrion crawlers being not that huge: the big ones are purple worms and remorhaz.

You guys forgot Larva, Gas Spore, Violet Fungus, all Ancient Dragons, Intellect Devourer, Kraken, Mummies, Purple Worm, Morkoth, Mind Flayer Lich (Illithilich), Astral Dreadnought, Cadaver Collector, Corpse Flower, Dire Troll, Rot Troll, Venom Troll, Fraz-Urb'luu, Marut, and a Nightwalker.

You...failed to mention the most horrific part about Mind Flayers...How they reproduce...

Two other suggestions that are D&D based. Top 10 demon Lords and top 10 Arch devils.

I personally think a nightwalker is more scary than mindflayers. If you're killed by a nightwalker only a wish spell can bring you back and that shit scares me, two separate campaigns I've come across them and I never want to experience that dread again

Honorable mention: Tarrasque Me: you got some balls to put that there

Rot grubs, ear wigs and green slime- All will kill a character dead within a few rounds. Terrifying

Hopefully that Mind Flayer stays dead.

The Mind Flayer is like a monster Cthulhu but in wizard is very cool and awesome I think he is Cthulhu’s brother or he is the father of Cthulhu 😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It seems the creators of series and movies like that board game and that is why wey saw the monsters in the game and were inspired by the monsters that we know so far 😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Top 10 best moments of Bo-Katan and The Sequel Trilogy

No false Hydra? Seriously? A stealth predator that erases the existence of whatever it eats? That shit is terrifying.

good vid. I like the movie depictions you used as decent / good recent depictions in modern media

I'm confused, how is a basilisk scarier than a Gibbering Mouther, Balor, only 1 spot away from a Beholder, and a freaking SIBRIEX!

I’ve seen the animated series of Dungeons & Dragons. But I’m not sure if the Dungeons & Dragons books would count as canon. Although, I still have been looking for live-action Dungeons & Dragons movies for a special occasion. However, I wanna save that for a better time when I have enough money. Still, I can’t complain about these fantasy games or movies. 1. The Flesh Golem 2. The Mimic 3. The Gibbering Mouther 4. The Basilisk 5. The Beholder 6. The Carrion Crawler 7. The Aboleth 8. The Oblex 9. The Dracolich 10. The Mind Flayer Others: -The Hag -The Tarrasque -The Balor -The Oozes -The Sibriex

Balor is a demon, and there are several more powerful than it. Its most recent "incarnation" was the Balrog in the LOTR movies, where it fought, and was defeated by Gandalf.

WE ARE GETTING A NEW D & D MOVIE!

You should do top 10 cutest DnD monsters

If it has a stat, you can kill it *laughs in DM*

I'm surprised but not suprised fals hydras weren't on this list.

Watch mojo just looks for clips that even remotely resemble the monster and go “ Yeah! That’ll do!”

Dude, flesh golem? The hell? That's serial killer stuff

My dnd character has a pet mimic

What a fun video. D&D sounds so fun to me.

FBC13 algorithm is my choice, i dont worry about BTC rates at all
