What's your favourite monster?
What is your favourite monster - from movies, TV, literature, mythology...REAL LIFE??

I think Earth culture is full of great monsters.

I'll take a dunk & nominate: GHIDRAH (the 3-headed space dragon!)...(this princess (she?ha ha) debuted in Toho's brilliant "Ghidrah: The Three Headed Monster" (1965)!!!)...Each dragon head has a different sound, a different laser beam, a different personality - HA HA!

Re: What's your favourite monster?
Well, my all-time fave is of course Godzilla. If I had to choose another I'd maybe go with King Kong as he evokes some sympathy as well as 'shock and awe'. For monsters from books I'd have to go with Smaug. He was my first love and the reason I got into dragons.

Honorable mention to Mothra because he's so improbable as a monster but also has the coolest 'accomplices', the singing miniature twins.

Frankenstein's monster. Because one way or another the real monster is humanity.


And also in a way because the maid who made a monster (Mary Shelley) can possibly be credited with having written the earliest modern SF tale as well, even if it sits more comfortably in the horror shelves.

It has got to be Cthulhu, he eats all.

And he has tentacles, and nukes only make him mad.

Return of the Jedi - big gnarly beast, in the pit beneath's Jabba's palace, that Luke defeats with a bone and quick timing. (And I always felt sorry for the keeper, who bursts into tears after!).

Tollund Man. *Shudder*. He has such a scary face. That said, the Banshee still scares me quite a lot.

Does Quetzovercoatl count as a monster?

Anyone who has read "Eric" by Terry Pratchett will know what I mean...

Isn't he an Aztec god?

I've only read one Pratchett.

My fave would be hmmm.... Smaug, or the Balrog. Or Torak from Eddings' books - but then he's not really a monster...
