I recently replayed SS2 and I have to say that the fucking INVISIBLE SPIDER emitting spine-chilling sounds ranks pretty high.

Guardian of VARN -> MM6.

Immune to Everything but physical attacks and break your weapons. Without implosion and physical damage dealing spells, he is pretty nasty. Terminator Unit can insta erradicate party members and losing a cleric...

Chryssalids from Ufo: Enemy Unknown and Tentaculats from X-Com: Terror from the Deep. Changing your troops into zombies with one touch. And when you kill a zombie... one more Chryssalid/Tentaculat appears from its corpse to morph even more of your men into those monstrosities...

In pure rpgs: everything with level drain ability. Fuck those creeps.

In the artbook, the english description of that creature is a "Vampire Load".

Your reputation in this game can also be "NORBLE" (NOBLE). Japanese truly are the cream of the crop when it comes to English.

Just be thankful there was never a D&D module - for NWN1/2 or whatever - called "Count Strahd's 50 Load Weekend"... or at least I don't think there was ever a module with that title.

I remember that a user-created module for NWN1 based on Ravenloft had a Vampire Lord (or was it Warrior?) and his magic-wielding vampire sorceress wife that was one of the toughest encounters I ever had in any RPG. Took my 6 party team out in seconds... again and again and again.

I finished Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession a few weeks back and the level draining from vampires+wights on that combined with the fact that you turn like a battleship + it doesn't always flag it (meaning you could potentially be unaware you have lost them and save those accidently into your save files) was pretty stressful - you have to keep an RL copy of your stat sheet. Nothing like the basilisk from Dark Souls though.

Any bullet hell boss.

Still have Xevious/Raiden/r-type nightmares. That shit literally fries your brain. And “reloading” means another quarter and half hour of constantly intensifying stress just to get back to where your were.

Fighters might well choose as the most frightening monster something not particularly feared by other classes:

Although the rust monster appeared in Dungeon Master, there fortunately was not any implementation of its ability to rust metal.

There was a cool-funny Hall-of-Fame NWN1 module in a series by the same author where your PC in early levels encounters an unbeatable rust monster in a dungeon that totally destroys not only your armor but any other article of clothing you're wearing, and you have to go back to town where the local guards arrest you on the spot for being buck naked with your anatomically correct free willy a'swingin' and offending the public decency and you're thrown into a different kind of dungeon. Bless high reactivity in modules.

Skyrim has the Cursed Loot mod for that but I don't think it is compatible with swinging willies (unless you have a separate mod to put swinging willies on your female characters?).
