General Discussion

Couldn't think of anything the first two times I checked this thread, but reading Souvec's post I'm reminded of something in The Saga of Ryzom:

Back when there were Kitin patrols (composed of Kirosta, to be specific) in the Prime Roots (huge underground caves with pallid fauna, and ethereal glowing flora reminiscent of the deep ocean)...

I hadn't been playing long, only a month or two. A friend absconded me into the Abyss of Ichor to help him forage for high-grade crafting materials by applying "care plan" actions to the material sources he prospected to prevent them from exploding (see CaesarsGhost's post).

Upon entering the region, we hugged the cavern wall, slipping over to a relatively quiet corner. Found Excellent and Supreme shells. Started digging. Suddenly my friend hurried us to the farthest reaches of the corner, and as we stood as high against the wall as the ground incline allowed, about two dozen Kirosta began filing into the area from a nearby tunnel. Occasionally they stopped and looked around, mandibles twitching, as if they were nearly detecting us. Then they'd amble onward. The smaller ones scurried around the claws of the larger ones, sometimes darting outward, almost far enough to be in range of us. They all had an aggro radius approximately 30 metres longer than the average Kitin. Gradually they left, moving onward along their patrol route.

Every ten minutes or so (maybe less or more, I don't recall this detail well) they'd return and we'd abandon our digging to hide in the corner again as soon as we spotted their long, moving line of creature-coloured dots on the 125m range of the compass/radar...

The monsters who scared me the most in my MMO experience are the carebears.

oh wait... you meant monster mobs?

I don't really get "scared" of MMO mobs, maybe a little intimidated if I know they can 5 shot me and are as big as a building.

Heh, was an epic spider in EQ2 named Terrortula. I was just soloing a bit and run over a sand dune and straight into it, it was so big that even a leg didnt fit on my 22" screen, and the legs were hairy too....

I guess i got a thing for MMO spiders since the only other monster that got me jumping was the first Shelob i saw in Linage a long time ago.

Any snake from Everquest.. I mean Im scared of snakes in general but those damn snakes could KICK!!1!!?! and parry!!

Huginn / Rapier in EVE.

Which is why I now fly them.

for me the skel soldier, orcs, zombie prisoners... for me they are the scariest.

The Scariest monsters for me have to be the gigantic dragons in any Everquest mmo. Those things freaked me out the first time I ever saw them. One of them killed me and that day I swore revenge on it. I can't remember if i killed it though.

 males who play female toons and swear they are females in real life are creepy.....or misunderstood.

Also SoE and "take overs" or "Game Improvments" that scares the heck out of me

Brad McQuaid scares me

Some one yelling "TRAIN!!" in early MMOs scare me.

resting in AV BG then gettting worked  by a epic stun rogue who knows what they are doing scares me
