Which creatures or mobs scare you?
An easy one for me to list right off the bat are sharks of course. I suppose many water dwelling creatures might freak me out to some degree, but sharks (and those scary damn groupers!) are number one.
Another creature type that has always made me uneasy were the Bog Beasts. I still remember my first encounter with them in Teldrassil, on my original character. I had rolled a Night Elf, and something about descending down to that lake area and having a crowd of them aggro onto me always freaked me out a bit. Then having to deal with them at the bottom of the rivers there reinforced that unease. Their hulking shoulders, slow ambling walk, and just overall appearance unnerves me for some reason. I dislike running into them in any area.

In the game, some spiders still give me the creeps, especially dark shiny ones, even though I like them. A bit like real life.

(On a funny note, the bog beast is a reference to MARVEL's Man-Thing.)

Re: Which creatures or mobs scare you?
The only thing that has truly scared me though were the geists during an alliance quest in Dragonblight. You have to save villagers that are cowering in their houses while the geists and other Scourge stalk them and pick them off one by one...it was unsettling to say the least.

There is a friendly NPC that looks like them, which I also do not like. http://www.wowhead.com/npc=30074/the-leaper
*edit* Veph reminded me of this fish http://www.wowhead.com/npc=41064/cragjaw that I saw in Stonetalon recently. It is huge and creepy and it makes me never want to get in that water. *shudder*

Other than that, I did recently find the huge whale shark above me when I was swimming around in Vash'jr. Mobus was nowhere near as big as this guy. It only took the shark's shadow on the seafloor for me to find it.

I miss old Zul'Gurub, but I certainly don't miss that boss or his minions!

Then in BC it was Fel Reavers. I still get a bit freaked out anytime I see the ground shake and hear that familiar "Waaahhhhhh!" noise.

Re: Which creatures or mobs scare you?
But setting the joking aside, the Whale Shark scared the crap out of me when leveling. Suddenly, well returning to leveling my druid, he's RIGHT BEHIND ME...*munch*
There's also Terokkarantula...

Re: Which creatures or mobs scare you?
I have quite a few that creep me out. Starting with the giant blue oozes in wetlands were the red whelps used to be. (I’m not sure but I think they got taken out as well in cata) When I first stared playing the game I went to wetlands at lvl 20 and farmed the whelps for the pet. (yeah first thing I do when i get my account is farm a pet with a 1- 1000 drop rate… and all the mobs were red.) For some reason just seeing the giant slowly moving oozes creep along kind of freaked me out. The human skulls/bones and the fact that they were instant death for my hunter didn’t help. Years later I still give them a wide birth whenever wetlands forced me to travel their way.
Untamed devilsaurs still make me jump. I love them and couldn’t wait to tame one wen I was leveling but questing in un’goro put me on edge. It didn’t help that at lvl 70 I ran into king Mosh and he almost facerolled me and my friend before I could even notice he was rare. It usually takes some time for mobs to load on my screen so things show up right when im nose to nose with them so to this day they still manage to startle me
Fel Reaver. Didn’t expect him. I hear a scream and look up to see an evil skull ?? transformer 2 shotting me and taking a bite out of someone running away. Wasn’t until cata when I could solo him that I stopped looking behind my back.
Terokkarantula… I was just flying around and the mob loaded 2 feet from my hunter's face. I actually screamed.
And finally the crippler and all mobs that look like him. He almost killed my 70 because I wasn’t paying attention. Just the over all look and animation of him creeps me out. http://www.wowhead.com/npc=18689#screenshots

That was Jin'do the Hexxer. He's actually in the new ZG as the final boss, renamed Jin'do the Godbreaker.Cerah wrote:The mobs that creeped me out the most fortuately aren't in the game anymore. Remember the undead boss in old lvl 60 Zul'Gurub? He had a red pool of presumably blood in his area, full of dancing skeletons that wouldn't stop respawning until the boss was dead (and it was one of those bosses that took control of your characters -- a bugger to beat, even at lvl 80). Those skeletons just freaked the hell out of me.
I miss old Zul'Gurub, but I certainly don't miss that boss or his minions!
Both Thaddius and C'thun creep me out. Not because of their looks, but the "whispers" you hear from them, especially Thaddius knowing the lore behind him.
Thaddius, built from the flesh of women and children, it is said that their souls are fused together — eternally bound within that foul prison of flesh.

Re: Which creatures or mobs scare you?
Oh, and Spirit Healers. Yes, the resurrecting angels. Their whispers… Freakyyy. It was even worse when the sky of the ghost realm was still that giant black pit.
Oddly enough, I *adore* Yogg-saron and C'thun whispers.

Re: Which creatures or mobs scare you?
Oh geez I almost forgot about that about Thaddius--hearing the screams of the women and children while you're in Naxx (and so long as Thad is alive) is bone-chilling.Wassa wrote: Both Thaddius and C'thun creep me out.

Fish, on the other hand, scare me completely.
