I don't really have a favorite monster, but if I have to choose, it would be La Llorona which is the "Weeping Woman" in english. The story goes that one day she got really frustrated at her children, so threw them into a river and they disappeared down the stream. After she realizes what she has done, she tries many times to search for them and get her children back. It is said that she died later that night by the river. So every so often, many people hear a lady screaming and shouting " Where are my children?!" Children who see her at night are said to be snatched by her in hope that they are her children. As this is a story, there are many interpretations to the story, don't just take my word for it. La Llorona is a great monster I believe, because the story is intended to scare children, and it sure did scare many kids to not wander out in the dark.

Slender man is a fictional supernatural character that originated as a creepy pasta internet meme created by something awful forums user Eric Knudsen in 2009. He is depicted as a thin unnaturally tall humanoid with a featureless head and face wearing a black suit

My favorite monster is the Cookie Monster. The most terrifying monster that I know of is Jeepers Creepers. The Creeper has mottled green and brown skin, and a sports wing-like mandibles and skin flaps are located on each side of his face. He also has a huge pair of bat-like wings on his back, which fold up tightly enough that they are completely unnoticeable underneath his coat. What makes him terrifying is that he consumes the parts of people that he needs and takes on some characteristics of the consumed part. I think he is the worst monster ever created because of the things he does. In his lair, the walls are lined with 100's of bodies. He takes on the characteristics of the parts he takes from people. He is just really creepy. That is why he is called the Creeper.

I think my favorite monster is the Cerberus, which I also think is one of the more frightening or unusual monsters. In greek mythology, the Cerberus is often called the "hound of Hades" and serves as a guard to the gates of the Underworld in order to prevent the dead from leaving. It has multiple dog heads, a serpent for a tail, and has snakes protruding from parts of its body. It's said that Cerberus was the offspring of Echidna and Typhon and is primarily known for his capture by Heracles. Though Cerberus is usually depicted having 3 heads, he didn't always have 3. Sometimes, he'd have much more heads, even up to the hundreds zone. Sometimes, Cerberus would even be depicted having multiple bodies and backs too. It's said to eat raw flesh, which is something it can easily acquire thanks to its traits. On top of Cerberus's previously mentioned traits, it has also been said that it has eyes which can flash fire, has a three-tongued mouth, and has acute hearing. Running into Cerberus sounds like it'd be a guaranteed death and an absolute nightmare.

MY would probally be the llorona the mexican gohst.In Hispanic American folklore, La Llorona is a legend about a woman who drowned her children and mourns their deaths for eternity, roaming Latin American areas as a ghost or apparition. She has an abilitay to find you when your sleeping and drown you. I heard a story that my friend said that when he was in tj this random guy told him that the llorona flipped a taxi right next to his house.

My favorite monster would be Sebastian . he is from an anime called black butler . He is a demon but can take on any form and that's why I find him so cool . In the show he takes form of a butler that's why the show is called black butler . He has dark red eyes with loose black hair and is really tall with sharp teeth . He eats peoples souls but in return does whatever that person wants. I think he is one of the best monsters created because he can basically do anything . I find it cool that he can also turn into anything like a bird or a human or a spider etc.

My favorite monster is Frieza from an anime called Dragon ball z or super. He doesn't look scary but he's powerful and i like seeing the heroes fight him it is my favorite anime to watch. I love to see the fights with him but he dies two times. But he does get stronger and stronger so do the heroes. When they fight there are so many colors and I like it. Also, i like his transformation for the new one because it is golden. Then, I also like the heroes but there are 5 or 6 of them but 2 of them are the strongest their names are Goku and Vegeta. Next they fight the villan or monster Frieza and they both achieve a new form as well and the color of their new form is blue and it looks nice also it's their most powerful form. But later on they achieve new ones and I just like the way they achieve new transformations. Finally, that is the monster I chose (Frieza).

My favorite monster is Sully he is from Monsters Inc. Sully isn't really scary because he is from a kids movie. Sully's job is to go into doors and scare kids while there sleeping. Sully is a giant monster who is blue and purple and has tiny horns sticking out of his head. He also has a best friend named Mike Wazowski. They have an enemy called Randall who has hated them since college.

My favorite monster would be "La Llorona " she's a mexican ghost legend who drowned her children and continues to mourn their deaths for eternity. She crys and wails and takes children and once she realizes they aren't hers she drowns them in the same spot where she drowned her own children. Legend goes that if you hear a lady screaming or shouting "Where are my children!?" from a nearby river she's coming to get you. In fact Llorona is a great monster intended to scare kids when they try to wander out at night.

I wouldn't be able too pick a favorite monster there's too many too choose from honestly. One that is most ammusing too me is " La Lechuza" or also known as a "Barn owl". In the day the lechuza is a normal woman but at night she chooses too take the form of a lechuza. A lechuza is a woman who murdered their lovers and lives too seek revenge from those who wronged them but there is also other theorys on what a lechuza originally came from. They say a lechuza only harms those who did them wrong or have evil in their hearts.The way a lechuza attacks people is by leaving them stranded. Signs you know when shes around is if you hear a cry of a woman. I mean imagine driving on a dirt road or a very secluedd road and your car battery just stops and then hearing a woman crying. Thats just creepy.

I don't really have a favorite monster. I don't think anyone really has a favorite monster. But the monster or thing i think is unusual would probably be the headless horseman. Its kinda weird and cool at the same time. but like just imagine if you saw the headless horseman at the top of hill and it started chasing you wouldnt that be scary ik i would be scared. I dont really think its the best cause everyone has different opinions. but it probably one of the cool ones that no one talks about .

I don't really have a favorite monster but if I had to choose, I would choose the slit-mouthed woman. She was a very beautiful woman that lived in Japan. Her husband went away for war and she eventually got very lonely so she started seeing another man. When her husband got home, he found out. He was so upset and angry he took his sword and slit her mouth from ear to ear screaming "Who will think you're beautiful now." She became a very vengeful spirt that walks the streets of Japan wearing a surgical mask to hide her scars. If she sees you walking on the streets, she will block your way and ask you if she is beautiful. Before you can answer she takes her mask off and screams "Am I beautiful now?" It you say no, she will take her scissors and kill you instantly. If you say yes, she will slit your mouth just like hers. If you run, she will catch you and kill you. the only way to possibly get away from her is by saying "you look average" or "you look normal." This will confuse her giving you enough time you run. I know this monster is in Japan but when I first heard this story I got really scared thinking she'll come here.

my favorite monster is nosferatu. he is a vampire from the 1800s. he is pale and tall and his nose is hooked over, his fingers are long like worms he comes to a town in transylvania during a deadly plague to have a reason to murder people. he is a vampire so he sucks peoples blood, and he can only be defeated by a beautiful woman. i like nosferatu because of how vintage him and his story is.

My Favorite monster is slender man. Slender man was a game that many kids used to play, the game was about a creature with a white face. The creature did not have ears, eyes, a mouth, or a nose. The creature would hunt you down by vibrations of voices. To beat Slender man, you had to find all the hidden notes that are hung on trees in order to escape. Slender man had big arms and legs, the creature was about 7 feet tall and was really skinny. The cool part was that he would wear a black tuxedo. Slender man does not have a story other than it haunts little kids and lives in the woods.

I dont really have a favorite monster but growing up as i visited Mexico i was always scared of El Cuco which was a man who would go after misbehaving children or he takes babies. The legend said he had to drink the blood of a 7 year old because he had tuberculosis

I didnt really have a monster growing up. My brother would tell me about the Cuco. So whenever i misbehaved he will tell that the cuco will come get me at night. I think another monster was the boogie man. My other brother would tell me about this one. he would just tease me with this one tho like saying he going to come get me in the middle of the night or scare me.

I never really had a monster growing up. When I was about 3 I was scared of the cookie monster because he would eat those cookies with such ferocity. Also when I was little and misbehaving my parents would always tell me El Cucuy would come and eat me.
