Monsters That Creep You Out in FFXIV

The shades are also dyed Pure Black. Not Soot Black, that isn't black enough.

The Ash Lizard Monstrosity bug was probably the scariest creature in FFXI.

Makes me wonder if they were planning to have tonberry as playable monsters in Monstrosity. I believe they were planning on adding all the monsters. Raging around as Provenance Watcher would have been neat, such a shame they abandoned that system. Would be nice to see it in XIV, but anyway..

In FFXIV, I would say this thing takes the cake for me so far....

The stone head things that have to be stacked on the platforms. I don't remember the name of the dungeon now.

Those things legit Freak. Me. Out.

That's it!

No idea why they're so creepy, but they give me serious heebie-jeebies.

Tesleen the Forgiven. Her transformation scene unnerved me in a way that no other scene in all of FFXIV has before. That's not to say I've never had emotional responses to the game or it's story, but it's really the only time the game unsettled me in that way, both with the scene itself and her design of her transformed form.

Yes this took the cake from me too. It was just extremely unsettling...

I am somewhat terrified of spiders, so anything with multiple legs really.
Particularly when you can hear them scurrying about on the floor....shudders

The giant heads in Yanxia are still the most unsettling for me, I think. Why is it like... it's just a head. Where's the rest of it? There should be more. More of the body, not more heads. That's also part of why it's so gross is that there are just so many of these heads. If it was just one boss it might make sense but no it's like some giant accidentally up-ended their basket o' heads in Yanxia. I hate it.

Part of why spiders startle me IRL is that they make zero noise, so I'm actually a fan of being able to hear them in games. I know what to expect. One of my most vividly horrifying game memories was of some dinky little cave in Silverpine where at the back there was a spider tucked into the ceiling of the cave that I didn't notice until it quietly dropped down while I was going to loot something. Similarly terrifying was the giant-sized monster spider in Terokkar, but I was able to hear that one's legs idly tapping before I came around the hill to see it - at least I was prepared for a spider, just not one that size.
