Monsters That Creep You Out in FFXIV

[Renato]

FFXIV has some disturbing enemy designs. What are some that genuinely weird you out sometimes?

For me, the monsters that always creeped me out were the giant toads:

And this thing here...It's called an Aetees. It's not the most intimidating creature but it's eyes always gave me the creeps. What makes it more odd is the description which basically stated that it once was a hyur man who overdosed on Phurble Blood and became one:

Unpopular opinion perhaps but paissa definitely creep me out. Something about them is distinctly Seussian (the face, probably) but their limited animations make them super disturbing.

Beyond that, the Ahriman models and Avere's flying head are hella freaky. The one with the weirdest childhood-gone-wrong vibe would be Number from Eureka Anemos. As for critters I prefer to actively avoid despite being able to waste them in a few hits, morbols are at the top of the list.

(Can I note here that 'ground squirrels' and the angry chinchillas randomly living in Coerthas Central Highlands are all aardvarks?! wtf)

I can definitely see how Paiassas can be creepy. It's the eyes! lmao. And I totally agree with Avere's Ahriman model...to be honest with you, mostly everything in the whole Edda Storyline is disturbing. It's honestly why it's one of my favorite story arcs. Disturbing but tragic especially if you've kept up with the events of what happened back when you first meet her before Satasha.

Agree to disagree. I can see the game freaking out many people. For me it goes so far that I just can't get scared. What really scared me was Condemned: Criminal Origins because it only took a few creative liberties to provide something horrifying. Just enough to be fictional but still leave me with that "what if"

This thing


...and then it opens its mouth


Before, this thing freaked me out, because it had no eyes


Dude, she looked like a psychopath


Without the doubt, one of the most scariest things in the game. The horrific quality of the model gives me nightmares

Dude, she looked like a psychopath

So that's where he gets it from

I forgot about this guy too...


It's really the sound it makes that creeps me out though. It's description is kind of sad too:
Flame Sergeant Dalvag was among the thousands of defenders who met the Garlean invasion force in northern Thanalan soon after the Calamity. His company was ill placed to hold their position, yet given strict orders not to retreat. Many fell, and suffered much in the falling. Multiple witnesses attest that Dalvag was the last of the company and fought as a man possessed till the end, the names of the dead tumbling in hoarse barks through cracked lips. Scholars theorize that his mortal remains are animated by a thirst for vengeance alone.

...and then it opens its mouth

I don't know what would be worse...Getting bitten by that or getting beaten to death by it's earlobes...(it attacks you with them in-game)

[DreamAngel-Ren]

Uuuggghh!! That thing ALWAYS give me the heebie jeebies!

There's also those tall blue looking creatures that walk creepily; you see them a lot in the new deep dungeon >_<
