What would you consider to be the scariest dnd monster? I wanna do a type of writing project featuring dnd monsters as the center of horror stories. So, I wanted to know what the community's thoughts were on the terror factor of the classic monsters. Also if this project gains any traction, I'll make sure to credit you for the idea once I publish it.
“It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt, It lies behind stars and under hills, And empty holes it fills, It comes first and follows after, Ends life, kills laughter.” J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” - Mark Twain - Innocents Abroad
It looks terrifying. But then you look away - and forget you ever saw it.
The bakery in this town is a weird place, seeing as there has never been a baker. Odd that the woman who lives above it is referred to as "The bakers wife", seeing as there never was a baker. The bank as well is weird, as nobody has ever worked there. This restaurant is also a bit weird, it's never had a chef.
They were all eaten. The False Hydra, who you don't remember knowing about, also made you forget about them.

The death knight. A fallen undead paladin always scared me.
Found myself obsessing about Allip

False Hydra. Far and away, beyond anything else.

The Weeping Angels from Dr. Who.
Although the flesh-eating-shadows from "Silence in the library" are almost as scary.
Most enemies in the monster manual come not even close to those two creatures.
Maybe a nabassu, since it feasts on souls and hunts even demon lords. Oh, and it can kill you by looking at you.
