Random Scary Anime Monsters That Are Total Nightmare Fuel (15 items)

  (#8) Claymore

  • J.T.

  A Yoma takes the nightmare of a bug flying into your nose and magnifies it to a million. These muscular beasts from the dark fantasy series, Claymore, are parasitic creatures that invade the brain of their human hosts and take over. Yoma come in various shapes and sizes, but their common traits are cat-like golden eyes, pointy teeth, and demonic claws.

  Anyone unfortunate enough to become their prey will endure the cruelty of seeing their hosts kill everyone they love with their body.

  (#12) Shinigami - Death Note

  Death happens to everyone, even to the Gods of Death themselves. The Shinigami from the psychological thriller, Death Note, are extra-dimensional monsters that take the lives of humans to prolong their own existence. By writing the names of their victims on the all-powerful Death Note, the Shinigami add the lifespan of that person to their own. 

  While their grotesque appearance and near invincibility make the Shinigame a force to be reckoned with, they are essentially creatures of boredom that only steal human life to wade off the fear of death.

  (#6) The God Hand - Berserk

  The God Hand from the anime action series, Berserk, is the ultimate squad of evil characters. Serving under the Idea of Evil, the God Hand are a group of five reality-warping beings responsible for humanity's suffering. Void, a prominent member of the God Hand, resembles the aliens from Mars Attacks with his big, exposed brain. He also has his eyes stitched out and lips peeled back to complete his disgusting appearance.

  While the other members look less creepy, though still intimidating, their malice toward humanity in nothing to scoff at.

  (#15) Lil' Slugger - Paranoia Agent

  Sometimes, the most horrific monsters are the simple and realistic ones. Lil' Slugger, the juvenile serial killer with the inline skates and crooked bat, is the most normal-looking anime monster presented on this list. Yet, his inhuman lust for preying on people who are at their most vulnerable is undeniably scary.

  Just one look at his sinister grin and bloody, golden bat is enough to send shivers down anyone's spine. The similarities to Lil' Slugger's vicious killings to actual murders is what makes him so creepy and real.

  (#2) Gauna - Knights Of Sidonia

  Any alien species powerful enough to drive the entire human race off Earth is worthy of the scariest anime monster title. In the mecha anime series, Knight of Sidonia, the shapeshifting alien race known as the Gauna sent mankind packing, forcing them to live on spaceships created from what was left of Earth. A Gauna cannot be easily killed because of their exterior covering called the Placenta. It is highly malleable and usually appears as tentacle creatures.

  The creepy thing about the Gauna is that they are capable of replicating human features for a limited time. They will make their appearance match that of a lover so a soldier can't deliver the final blow.

  (#9) No-Face

  The lonely spirit known as No-Face hides an aggressive and selfish side in the animated movie, Spirited Away. The physical appearance of No-Face is simple and semi-transparent. His most memorable feature is his expressionless mask with the purple highlights near the eyes. However, No-Face can take on the worst traits of his surroundings and the people who inhabit it, such as greed and gluttony.

  This is exactly what happens in the Bathhouse during the film, which causes him to run rampant and reveal his creepy spider legs and hidden mouth.
