I once fought an evil dragon who had human faces instead of scales. It was brimming with noxious gas that spilled out of the human mouths all along its body and when it died all the foul poison bottled up inside of it came pouring out.

damnn, thats rlly creative. howd the players do?
We defeated it without a single one of us dropping to zero hit points. We were level five and it was level 10. Our group is really good at monster slaying. It still was pretty difficult to defeat though.
rolling max damage on inflict moderate wounds. straight up disintegrated the guy

Not mine, but years ago I was in a campaign and a party member threw a bead of force into the open mouth of a monologuing beholder with the party standing not that far away from it and explained in EXQUISITE detail the orb of force expanding inside it, exploding it in to a shower of gore and how it rained down and drenched the party, splattered the walls and ceiling, explaining what specific parts and eye stalks landed on each party member. It was EPIC!
I'm running a story now where characters have to search through an accursed forest to find the son of their employer. The mist itself is enchanted to show the characters their greatest regrets, tenfold.
One has daddy issues, and their dad happens to be an eldritch being. So, I made a hallucination involving tentacles, watching their own body decompse, and a sea of wingless flesh-eating flies.
Another was an escaped (fire genasi) pit fighter who went on a rampage when they left. Having reformed as a cleric, I felt the best hallucination for him was reliving what he'd done. Burnt, half dead bodies, charred black corpses, sreaming, dying children.He was in a fetal position, at that point.Then I showed him his abusive parents calling him a monster, yelling about his demonic powers until he's forced to burn them away. I don't remember how I worded it, but it must've been brutal. That character was the comedy relief of the group, but by the end, he was attempting suicide to escape the voices telling him to burn more. Luckily, his suicide attempt woke him up.

Hallucinations and illusions are such a good way to instill a sense of fear in a campaign, that sounds really cool!
