As October approaches, I'm thinking of scary beings that have appeared in Legion comics. I'm campaigning to have them spotlighted in the upcoming Museum of Legion Arts exhibit over at Bits.
Off the top of my head:
Devil Fish Hate Face Validus The Hag Hagga Furball Jungle King's Legion of Monsters
okay... I need to look through the books...
Anyone else able to think of any off the top of their heads?

Organus. Tenzil's Eyeful Ethel apparition. Mordru's zombies.

A must: Brain Globes
I also love the Resource Raiders (that gray matter thing again).
Mordru's vampire pal Vykros (sp?) would be an appropriate Halloween addition as well.

Great contributions! Thank you.
I always think it's fun to go back and look at the fairly non-scary looking scary monsters from the Adventure Era and do sketches of them as they might appear in a movie today.

The creepiest one of them all might be one who was actually a pretty nice guy:
Queeg, of the Science Asteroid.

Written by Trommium in the Shooter thread:
"We must give additional credit to Siegel and Hamilton for most of the bizarre monsters and weird alien creatures that wandered around the early Silver Age landscape.
Edmond Hamilton created The Legion of Super-Monsters, the Super-Moby Dick of Space, Camelephants, space-rocs, the Morvennian Fear-Beast and the Maw creature that killed Beast Boy, among others.
Siegel dreamed up the Brain-Globes of Rambat, Megalaro, the Negative Creature, the first Lightning Beasts, the Flame Beast that revived Sun Boy's powers, the Ultra-Energy Beast that gave Ultra Boy his powers (iirc, not sure), and many others."

What was that weird tracking animal in Tinya's Legion Worlds story? That should be in there, somehow.

There's also quite a few Legionnaires that would have been right at home in some of those classic 50s horror flicks, with a slight touch of tweaking... I'm thinking: - Blok
- Brainiac V
- Catspaw
- Chameleon
- Colossal Boy
- Computo
- Double-Header
- Ferro Lad
- Gates
- Gear
- Infectious Lass
- Insect Queen
- Invisible Kid
- Matter-Eater Lad
- Monstress
- Night Girl
- Phantom Girl
- Porcupine Pete
- Saturn Girl
- Sensor
- Shadow Lass
- Spider Girl
- Tellus
- Timber Wolf
- White Witch
Any others that are just on the edge of monstrification?

Tangleweb would be a good Reboot version of a monster. Space Spiders have always creeped me out for some reason. And he did kill a Legionnaire.
I'd like to see the Legion take on more monsters and creepy space crawlies actually. Let's see some survival horror in the Legion books. It would be a nice change of pace to the standard foes (ie robots, generic armies headed by some megalomaniacal villain, etc.) that they usually face.

You could argue that Element Lad and Mon-El might also be at home in a supernatural tale.
Element Lad because he was essentially the "gravekeeper" for his entire planet.
Mon-El because he spent a thousand years in a place dominated by people who were neither living nor dead.

Good points.

I think by far one of the scariest, ugliest get-ups in today's comics has to be the hideous costume that Tyroc is sporting these days. I know I'm scared every time I have to look at it! Peeeee-uuuoooook!!
