Me and my partner are huge horror movie and monster movie fans, the other day we got into a discussion about what our favorite movie monsters and creatures are. We both ended up coming to the conclusion that the Xenomorph is the coolest monster from a design and aesthetic standpoint.
I understand that the thing has been driven into the ground lately from over exposure and Ridley Scott's poor management of the franchise, but if we just look at it as a monster and nothing more, I don't know if anything out there is as cool as it in my personal opinion.
It hits everything that I look for in a creature:
Here are some runner ups that I thought got close though:
The unused Shin Godzilla 5th Form (not a ton of great pictures of it sadly):
The Bear from Annihilation:
The Thing (And it's various forms):
These rad things from Attack the Block:
Give me those cool monsters everyone!

It hits everything that I look for in a creature:
- Fear inducing and threatening design, even after being fully revealed.
- Looks aesthetically cool and makes for a dope action figure, not too grotesque or unappealing to look at.
- Unique features and aspects that make it an interesting threat such as it's acidic spit and ability to be a powerhouse, yet sneaky and diabolical.
