Top 10 Scariest Kaiju On Monarch Legacy of Monsters
#10: The Ion Dragon of the Philippines
Top 20 Scariest TV Monsters Ever
“Departure” While Bill Randa and Keiko Miura were investigating urban legends about a sky dragon, they stumbled upon the wreckage of a Navy boat. After poking around inside, they kept finding signs that all the myths were true. The duo finally confirmed that the Ion Dragon existed when it started trying to devour them whole. Since most of the encounter took place inside of a claustrophobic boat, the kaiju felt larger than life. And when we finally saw it in the open, its terrifying design made us want to run for the hills. Bill and Keiko were lucky that Lee Shaw showed up in time to help get them all to safety. Without the military man’s timely intervention, this Ion Dragon would’ve cut several legacies short.
#9: The Endopede
Top 10 Scariest Are You Afraid of the Dark Monsters
“Birthright" The Monsterverse is full of plenty of big and scary insects. But the Endopede might be the worst one of them all. After molting out of its shell, it can grow big enough to devour a human whole and have plenty of room for dessert. Speaking of eating, its nope-inducing amount of teeth make the prospect of getting chomped on by one of these into a horrifying prospect. It doesn’t help that Endopedes look like the giant versions of those creepy crawly parasites from 2005’s King Kong. While we’re not sure if the two kaiju are related, we know one thing for sure. We’d rather fall into the hollow earth than be left the mercy of an Endopede’s teeth.
#8: Bramble Boar
“Axis Mundi” If we learned one thing from the cult classic horror film Razorback, it’s that you shouldn’t mess with wild swine. While the Bramble Boar wasn’t as big as the film pig, it was still every bit as intimidating. Cate first encountered the scary swine after she fell through a rift in the earth into the monster-ridden plane known as Axis Mundi. The bramble boar made a horrifying first impression by approaching the teacher while its mouth was still filthy from its last meal. Just when it seemed like it would wander off, the swine returned to hunt Cate for real. Fortunately, a well timed arrow from Keiko Miura was enough to send the bramble boar running.
#7: Mantleclaw
“Aftermath” Blink and you just might not see this formidable crablike creature coming. The Mantleclaws we’ve seen on screen generally like to blend into their surroundings. While the small ones can be easily preyed upon, the adult versions of these kaiju don’t play any games. During the premiere episode, a Mantleclaw gets into a vicious one-on-one with a creature we will definitely talk about. The crablike creature’s footsteps are powerful enough to pierce the ground with each step. It also may be capable of swimming underwater like other dangerous cinematic kaiju out there. When you combine the Mantleclaw’s ability to camouflage with its massive strength, you get a big crablike creature that can sneak up and crush you when you least expect it.
#6: Kong
“Beyond Logic” Everyone’s favorite giant ape only sent the employees of Apex running in the final moments of season 1. But despite his small amount of screentime, he still made a big impression because of what we know about him. When humans started messing with Skull island in his 2017 solo film, Kong immediately stopped them. We saw the giant ape throw a tree through a window as a way of saying hello. He also swung helicopters around, tricked soldiers into taking each other out, and swallowed people whole. Imagine if Kong decided to unleash a fraction of that rage against the humans on the show. All in all, we think the Apex employees were extremely lucky Kong only appeared for a stormy cameo.
#5: Axis Mundi Ion Dragon
“Beyond Logic” After falling into a rift, Lee Shaw needed a titan’s help in order to get him and his allies back to Earth’s surface. Unfortunately, the Ion Dragon that showed up wasn’t interested in working with humans. The flying kaiju had the might to easily knock all four members of the group around while they were inside of a pod. Although the Ion Dragon could’ve easily glided over to Lee and devoured him instantly, it decided to savor the moment and slowly stalked the hero. The only reason why the protagonist wasn’t devoured is because the kaiju got distracted by a much bigger fish. Even though this Ion Dragon didn’t kill anyone, its petrifying appearance here cemented it as one of the Monsterverse’s most frightening beasts.
#4: Endoswarmers
“Aftermath” What’s worse than having one giant worm-like creature trying to devour you? How about having dozens of sharp toothed kaiju all trying to make you into a snack? Unfortunately, Lee and Cate experienced what that was like firsthand. During a recon mission, a bunch of endoworms decided to hatch at once. The savage and hungry creatures wanted nothing more than to make a meal out of the duo. In a horrifying turn of events, dozens of endoworms crawled up Cate’s body and pulled her downwards. This scene singlehandedly proved that even the smallest kaiju can create gigantic problems. After all, Cate’s allies could do nothing but watch as they pulled her into a seemingly infinite darkness.
#3: Mother Longlegs
Top 10 Dark Truths About How I Met Your Mother
“Aftermath” It’s unfortunately time to talk about the big spider in the room. Within the show’s first few minutes, we follow Bill as he desperately tries to escape from the horrifying arachnid-esque kaiju. Its unsettling movements and relentless nature made it into one of the creepiest predators we’ve ever seen. The Mother Long Legs also had the power and pincers to go toe-to-toe with the mighty Mantleclaw. To make matters worse, “Skull Island” showed that this kaiju likes to camouflage itself amongst trees as it selects its victims. Given what we know about this arachnid, we think “Mother Longlegs” is too gentle a name. Calling it “Oh god Run away” would be much more appropriate.
#2: Godzilla
Various Episodes Now, we’re not saying that the King of the Monsters isn’t intimidating in the show. Nearly every time he showed up, someone died. But the Godzilla we saw throughout season 1 never tried to hurt people on purpose. The creature was just so massive and powerful that many of the people who got too close to him ended up being indirectly killed by the kaiju. Although Godzilla showed mercy and even saved lives, he was no pushover. And he didn’t need to do much to remind us that he’s a force of nature. The way the kaiju easily killed an Ion Dragon in the finale was more than enough proof that he was still as fearsome as ever.
#1: Frost Vark
Various Episodes This chilling kaiju tends to stay hidden underneath icy surfaces. But once it senses warmth nearby, it stops at nothing to snuff out whatever or whoever’s giving off heat. The Frost Vark could use its massive claws or jagged teeth to rip enemies apart. However, its go-to move is to drain the heat from its targets until they’re nothing but icy husks. In other words, this kaiju can literally freeze you to death. And did we mention that the Frost Vark’s heavy armor makes it incredibly difficult to kill? This aggressive kaiju actively tried to kill four of the show’s main protagonists on multiple occasions and very nearly succeeded. Out of all the kaiju on the show, The Frost Vark definitely has the coldest heart. Which kaiju scared you the most? Scream about them in the comments below.
