Revenants
Revenants bring together a loathsome marriage of limbs to create one of the most repulsive and blood-curdling creatures Elden Ring has to offer! Its spider-like appearance and jagged movements mirrored with its abstract and surreal human face are repulsive enough as they are, but when the creature rises from what can only be imaged to be the depths of hell to unveil even more limbs and a disgusting gaping torso, a new fear has undoubtedly been latched onto the minds and souls of Tarnished around the globe.

Fingercreepers
Nearly every aspect of the Fingercreepers' being is enough to make the most formidable tarnished crawl into a ball and beg to whatever gods they believe in to save them from these unholy atrocities. With their creepy-crawly spider-like movement and appearance, their obscene strength and size, and their knack for hiding in plain sight just to pounce on Tarnished who finally think they have escaped the battlefield, these creatures are as annoying as they are spine-tingling.

Wormfaces
Their name is Wormfaces, enough said. These looming beasts are seemingly scattered all throughout Azula and Altus Plateau, and while they may not necessarily be the most difficult enemies, they are without a doubt one of the most horrifying to stare at. With a seemingly entire army of large, grotesque and wiggly worms attached to its face, Wormface is simply a bulging and grotesque creature that, when unhooded, shows an unholy abomination.

Deathbirds
If H.P. Lovecraft and a literal nightmare had a baby, it would be hard-pressed to come out as a creation more revolting and terrifying than the Deathbirds. Found only at the darkest of nights, these elongated and deformed creatures with incredibly unnerving broken skulls fly into reap havoc on all who dare to brace it with their presence. From a distance, their faces have the appearance of a horrifying newborn baby skull, and the fact that it towers over Tarnished makes them one of the most terrifying creatures in all of Elden Ring.

Giant Crows
With puss, warts, and all forms of revolting infections protruding out of every inch of their bodies, the Giant Crows are a hypochondriac's worst nightmare. With their deteriorating bodies covered and dripping with blood from their insides and the skin on their faces being ripped apart, these creatures are as close to death as they possibly can be, which might be why when they see Tarnished, they let all hell reign loose and launch their bodies at them with no regard for what might happen to them. Overwhelming in size, sickening in nature, and a petrifying foe, the Giant Crows are a being the likes of hell have never even seen.

Monstrous Dogs
Taking one of the most beloved creatures on planet earth and making them an aggressive, malformed, massive freak of nature is no small task, but it is a task that FromSoftware executed brilliantly. With their large oversized heads and tiny T-Rex arms, Tarnished would be forgiven if they were to simply stare at this abomination in amazement, but with one good look at players, the Monstrous Dog becomes an unreasonably quick and ferocious beast that will have no problem massacring any who get in their way.

Malformed Stars
Truly bizarre and abnormal in its appearance, the more one stares at the Malformed Stars the more disturbing and grotesque its shape truly becomes. Whether its the massive pincers that are bulging out of its seemingly human skull, the long and spider-like limbs that move in the most unattractive and eerie ways, or the weird misshapen pillar of spheres that hold up its insectoid-like being, the Malformed Stars are a truly nightmarish creature that should give all tarnished the willies.
- 8
Ulcerated Tree Spirits
A horrifying mutated living, breathing tree from the depths of hell, the pulsing and dripping red ulcers that have spread throughout the Ulcerated Tree Spirits make them a beautifully disgusting feat of nature that Tarnished must face throughout the latter half of the games. This hulking creature moves in an almost centipede-like way and is incredibly aggressive. With its mutated limbs and wreckless mindset, no one truly knows what the Ulcerated Tree Spirit is going to do next, let alone the Tree Spirits themselves.
- 9
Grafted Scions
A masochistic and repulsive blend of bodies grafted onto one being, it is unclear where one limb begins and another ends on the Grafted Scions. While its face may be hauntingly beautiful, the closer Tarnished gaze upon its body, the most uncomfortable and sickening it becomes. Not to mention the fact that this is the first battle all Tarnished must face in the game, and when it lays the absolute smackdown on players a mere 5 minutes into the game, the vitriol and hatred of this creature only amplifies tenfold.

Giant Ants
For those disturbed and disgusted by insects, avert your eyes from the Giant Ants! Their obscenely large size only amplifies what makes these creatures so terrifying, from their skinny and protruding legs to their bizarrely shaped faces with pincers attached to the ends of those godforsaken spikes that make the hairs on the back of Tarnished's necks stand up. These prickly creepy-crawlies often move and hunt in packs, meaning if you see one, there are sure to be more to follow.
- 11
Giant Land Octopus
A Lovecraftian creature if ever there was one, the Giant Land Octopus is a horrifyingly gelatinous and slimy creature with a pension for being fast, aggressive, and deadly beyond belief. This creature often slithers around the battlefield just waiting for a fight, and with its large obscene tentacles flailing around from every direction and its bizarre mouth that seemingly comes out of nowhere, just the sight of this terrifying monstrosity is enough to make even the strongest tarnish shudder.
- 12
Basilisks
With their bulging and protruding eyes, their misshapen frog-like body, and their nasty little beaked mouths, the Basilisks are some of the most uncomfortable and disturbing creatures to look at in all of Elden Ring. On top of their flat-out nasty appearance, the fact that these little monstrosities quite literally breathe Death onto players makes them even more terrifying not only an ugly foe, but a dangerous one at that. For those tarnished with ommetaphobia, this little freak is a living, breathing nightmare!
- 13
Lion Guardian
The Lion Guardian appears to merely be a massive lion with a blade attached to its legs, and while that may seem scary enough to an everyday audience, in Elden Ring, it's far from spooky. What makes the Lion Guardian one of the most fear-inducing and spine-chilling creatures Elden Ring has to offer is the fact that it is one of the most aggressive, powerful, and swift non-bosses in the entire game, making them a living nightmare for any Tarnished to have to endure. Players have and will continue to go out of their way out of fear of facing this behemoth, as facing it means certain doom!
