Allison: Well, what if I did this?
For The most part, Teen Wolf was more about relationships and teen angst than it was about
scary monsters.
But, over the six-year run, the show did give us some truly terrifying mythology.
Before I get started, if you’re enjoying these trips back to Beacon Hills, hit the
subscribe button and the bell so you’ll know when new videos come out.
At number ten on my list of the most terrifying Teen Wolf creatures – It’s the Anuk Ite.
While it looked terrifying, a little bit like a skinned weasel if I’m being honest, this
creature couldn’t do much physically and was more acting out of its own fear and a
desire for self-preservation.
The Anuk Ite could generate irrational fear in large numbers of people across large areas.
It could also turn you to stone if you looked too close and manifest visions of all your
worst fears to distract and disarm you.
But the Anuk Ite comes in last on my list because besides turning you into a statue
– it wasn’t all that powerful and was easily defeated.
Basically, the Anuk Ite is just a raw nerve generating fear that it then feeds on to become
stronger in an effort to evade getting captured again by the Wild Hunt.
But if you can get close enough without looking, just drop some Mountain Ash on its ass and
be done with it.
Next up it’s demon ninjas - the Oni are at number nine on my list of most terrifying
Teen Wolf things.
Terrifying to look at and hard to stop, the Oni seemed scary but they were really only
puppets.
At the start of their arc, Noshiko sent them to find out which one of Scott’s pack was
possessed by the Nogitsune.
They literally just wanted to stare deeply into your eyes and then mark you as clean.
And they were completely harmless unless you tried to stop them from completing that mission.
Void Stiles: Could you page Melissa McCall for me please?
It was only after the evil Nogtisune took charge of the Oni that they turned savage
and stabby and killed a bunch of people.
So, you shouldn’t really fear the Oni – you should fear whoever is controlling them.
Sean: I'm just so hungry.
At number eight is a creature we didn’t see too much of on the show but I found them
immediately terrifying.
Wendigos are scary because they eat people.
They don’t have some big master plan to take over the world.
They’re not particularly evil – they’re just hungry and you are on the menu.
Sean: I couldn't help it. I'm so hungry.
I didn’t even find these displays of teeth and bloody biting all that scary – what
scared me was the big refrigerator in their house with more than a dozen human bodies
They were all hanging like cattle carcass.
That’s you.
That’s where you would end up in this scenario and that is terrifying.
At number seven I’ve ranked the out of control Alpha – Peter Hale in season one.
I’ve said it before, when you see a werewolf in this state of full beast mode transformation
you can count on two things – it is very angry and it is not very smart.
Super-fast and super strong – Alphas in this state are near-perfect killing machines,
big dumb killing machines.
Number six on my list of Most Terrifying Teen Wolf creatures is whatever Kate turned into.
I mean, we called her a werejaguar, but that woman had some serious powers from an Aztec
god working for her.
She did that whole de-aging thing with Derek that still has yet to be explained.
She could also manufacture and command her bear skull boys to totally eff you up.
Kate was a scary badass before she turned – she became truly terrifying once she came back.
The Beast of Gevaudan lands solidly in the middle at number five on my list.
I’m talking here about the original 18th century version, not the confused Dread Doctor remix.
Big, powerful and nearly impossible to kill, the beast murdered people just
for the fun of it.
With the help of mega-simp Marcel – he literally stacked bodies like Legos in the basement.
This kind of killer scares the crap out of me because there’s no pattern.
There’s nothing to indicate that I’m not this killer’s type or target because they
have no type or target – they just kill whoever crosses their path.
Also, you can’t reason with crazy so there’s no way to get out of an encounter with the beast.
Speaking of the Dread Doctors – they are number four on my list of most terrifying
Teen Wolf creatures.
The dreads are literally the boogie man from children’s stories.
They come in the night and take you away.
That’s scary but what’s truly terrifying is that they then change
you into something scary.
Well, first they bury you alive which is a particular fear of mine, but then - when you
claw your way out of the grave – you’re not yourself anymore.
If that weren’t enough, the Dread Doctor’s then judge you and kill you if you don’t
live up to their impossible standards which is another particular fear of mine.
Surgeon: Condition is terminal.
Stiles: You're going to forget me. Lydia: I won't. I won't. I won't. Stiles: You will.
Being forgotten by everyone who loves you is perhaps the most diabolical fate that Jeff
Davis and the Teen Wolf writers ever came up with.
That’s what the Ghost Riders do.
They not only take you away physically – they steal everything about you from the world.
There’s a saying that’s so old no one remembers who said it first – it goes something
like everyone dies twice.
The first time is when you stop breathing and the second time is when the last person
who remembers you stops breathing.
The ghost riders basically kill you twice all at once which is why they’re number
three on the "most terrifying" list.
Nogitsune: Everyone has it but no one can lose it.
My penultimate terrifying creature of Teen Wolf is the Nogitsune – unpredictable and
insatiable – the Nogitsune will stab you in the stomach, shoot you with an arrow or
blow some shit up just for lols.
It’s also able to trap you in hallucinations and take over your body with a housefly.
Like some of the others on this list, the greatest fear with the Nogitsune is the loss
of self – you become something else and have no control.
Tamora Monroe: And I decided it's their turn to be afraid.
Now we come to the number one most terrifying creature seen on Teen Wolf – this one is
going to get me killed in the comments but the scariest thing on the whole show are the humans.
In real life, humans are the most terrifying things to ever live.
In Teen Wolf, humans kill more people and do more damage than
any other creatures on the show.
From hunters slicing folks in half to the man-child that controlled the Kanima –
humans on this show suck.
I mentioned earlier that all the Anuk-Ite could do was generate fear – the stuff the
humans did in response to that fear was all inside them to begin with.
That suspicion of people who aren’t like them and a willingness to resort to violence
is there all the time just waiting to be triggered by some perceived threat.
Humans are easily manipulated and unpredictable and I would much rather meet a Teen Wolf werecoyote
or chimera in a dark ally than one of the humans from this show.
Thanks for indulging me and watching my top ten.
