00:00 "We encountered a massive unknown terrestrial organism. I called for immediate evacuation."

00:05 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 scariest kaiju that rampaged through Monarch Legacy of Monsters.

00:13 We'll count multiple monsters of the same species as long as they appeared in different episodes.

00:18 Beware of massive spoilers ahead.

00:21 [Monarch roars]

00:25 "Run!"

00:27 Number 10. The Ion Dragon of the Philippines.

00:30 "Now the people of these mountains, they have an oral tradition about a dragon that carves a path of fire across the sky."

00:37 "Hmm."

00:38 "Or maybe a path of ionizing radiation."

00:41 While Bill Randa and Keiko Miura were investigating urban legends about a sky dragon, they stumbled upon the wreckage of a navy boat.

00:48 After poking around inside, they kept finding signs that all the myths were true.

00:53 The duo finally confirmed the Ion Dragon existed when it started trying to devour them whole.

00:59 "Go back! Go!"

01:00 "Oh my god!"

01:01 Since most of the encounter took place inside of a claustrophobic boat, the kaiju felt larger than life.

01:08 And when we finally saw it in the open, its terrifying design made us want to run for the hills.

01:14 Bill and Keiko were lucky that Lee Shaw showed up in time to help get them all to safety.

01:18 Without the military man's timely intervention, this Ion Dragon would have cut several legacies short.

01:24 "Oh my god."

01:25 "It is a dragon."

01:28 Number 9. The Endopede.

01:32 "Don't move!"

01:33 "What is it? What is it? What is it?"

01:34 "Shh! Shh! Shh!"

01:35 "I'm not moving! Shh! Shh!"

01:36 "Don't move!"

01:36 "Oh no, that's... it's a shell."

01:41 The Monsterverse is full of plenty of big and scary insects, but the Endopede might be the worst one of them all.

01:48 After molting out of its shell, it can grow big enough to devour a human whole and have plenty of room for dessert.

01:54 Speaking of eating, its nope-inducing amount of teeth makes the prospect of getting chomped on by one of these into a horrifying prospect.

02:02 It doesn't help that Endopedes look like the giant versions of those creepy-crawly parasites from 2005's King Kong.

02:08 While we're not sure if the two kaiju are related, we do know one thing for sure.

02:16 We would rather fall into the hollow earth than be left at the mercy of an Endopede's teeth.

02:21 "I got you!"

02:22 "Don't let go of me!"

02:25 "Kate!"

02:27 Number 8. Bramble Boar.

02:30 If we learned one thing from the cult classic horror film Razorback, it's that you shouldn't mess with wild swine.

02:36 "Sarah! Get out of here!"

02:38 While the Bramble Boar wasn't as big as the film pig, it was still every bit as intimidating.

02:45 Kate first encountered the scary swine after she fell through a rift in the earth into the monster-ridden plain known as Axis Mundi.

02:52 The Bramble Boar made a horrifying first impression by approaching the teacher while its mouth was still filthy from its last meal.

02:58 Just when it seemed like it would wander off, the swine returned to hunt Kate for real.

03:08 Fortunately, a well-timed arrow from Keiko Miura was enough to send the Bramble Boar running.

03:14 "Ahh!"

03:15 Number 7. Mantle Claw.

03:25 Blink and you just might not see this formidable crab-like creature coming.

03:29 The Mantle Claws we've seen on screen generally like to blend into their surroundings.

03:37 While the small ones can be easily preyed upon, the adult versions of these kaiju do not play any games.

03:44 During the premiere episode, a Mantle Claw gets into a vicious one-on-one with a creature we will definitely talk about.

03:50 The crab-like creature's footsteps are powerful enough to pierce the ground with each step.

03:55 It also may be capable of swimming underwater like other dangerous cinematic kaiju out there.

03:59 When you combine the Mantle Claw's ability to camouflage with its massive strength,

04:03 you get a big crab-like creature that can sneak up and crush you when you least expect it.

04:08 Everyone's favorite giant ape only sent the employees of Apex running in the final moments of season one.

04:27 But despite his small amount of screen time, he still made a big impression because of what we know about him.

04:33 When humans started messing with Skull Island in his 2017 solo film, Kong immediately stopped them.

04:39 We saw the giant ape throw a tree through a window as a way of saying hello.

04:51 He also swung helicopters around, tricked soldiers into taking each other out, and swallowed people whole.

04:58 Imagine if Kong decided to unleash a fraction of that rage against the humans on the show.

05:03 All in all, we think the Apex employees were extremely lucky Kong only appeared for a stormy cameo.

05:28 After falling into a rift, Li Sha needed a titan's help in order to get him and his allies back to Earth's surface.

05:35 Unfortunately, the Ion Dragon that showed up was not interested in working with humans.

05:39 The flying kaiju have the might to easily knock all four members of the group around while they were inside of a pod.

05:50 Although the Ion Dragon could have easily glided over to Li and devoured him instantly,

05:54 it decided to savor the moment and slowly stalked the hero.

05:58 The only reason why the protagonist wasn't devoured is because the kaiju got distracted by a much bigger fish.

06:04 Even though this Ion Dragon didn't kill anyone,

06:07 its petrifying appearance here cemented it as one of the MonsterVerse's most frightening beasts.

06:26 What's worse than having one giant worm-like creature trying to devour you?

06:30 How about having dozens of sharp-toothed kaiju all trying to make you into a snack?

06:34 Unfortunately, Li and Kate experienced what that was like firsthand.

06:38 During a recon mission, a bunch of endo-worms decided to hatch at once.

06:42 The savage and hungry creatures wanted nothing more than to make a meal out of the duo.

06:52 In a horrifying turn of events, dozens of endo-worms crawled up Kate's body and pulled her downwards.

06:58 This scene single-handedly proved that even the smallest kaiju can create gigantic problems.

07:04 After all, Kate's allies could do nothing but watch as they pulled her into a seemingly infinite darkness.

07:10 [Screaming]

07:20 Number 3. Mother Longlegs

07:23 It's unfortunately time to talk about the big spider in the room.

07:26 [Screaming]

07:31 Within the show's first few minutes, we follow Bill as he desperately tries to escape from the horrifying arachnid-esque kaiju.

07:38 Its unsettling movements and relentless nature made it into one of the creepiest predators we've ever seen.

07:44 The Mother Longlegs also had the power and pincers to go toe-to-toe with the mighty mantle claw.

07:49 To make matters worse, Skull Island showed that this kaiju likes to camouflage itself among trees as it selects its victims.

07:56 "We got you!"

07:57 "I can't get a shot!"

07:59 Given what we know about this arachnid, we think Mother Longlegs is too gentle a name.

08:05 Calling it "Oh God, run away!" would be much more appropriate.

08:10 [Screaming]

08:19 Number 2. Godzilla

08:21 "Did you see it? He saw me."

08:25 "Yeah, he did."

08:28 Now, we're not saying that the king of the monsters isn't intimidating in the show.

08:32 Nearly every time he showed up, someone died.

08:34 But, the Godzilla we saw throughout season 1 never tried to hurt people on purpose.

08:39 The creature was just so massive and powerful that many of the people who got too close to him

08:44 ended up being indirectly killed by the kaiju.

08:46 "Get us out of here! Pull up! Hey, pull up!"

08:49 "Oh, don't touch that!"

08:50 "Pull up!"

08:50 "Wait for impact!"

08:52 Although Godzilla showed mercy and even saved lives, he was no pushover.

08:56 And he didn't need to do much to remind us that he is a force of nature.

09:01 The way the kaiju easily killed an Ion Dragon in the finale

09:04 was more than enough proof that he was still as fearsome as ever.

09:29 Number 1 - Frost Vark

09:31 "I'll catch the break, you come quick!"

09:34 "Move!"

09:34 "Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!"

09:37 This chilling kaiju tends to stay hidden underneath icy surfaces.

09:41 But once it senses warmth nearby,

09:44 it stops at nothing to snuff out whatever or whoever's giving off heat.

09:48 The Frost Vark could use its massive claws or jagged teeth to rip enemies apart.

09:52 However, its go-to move is to drain the heat from its targets

09:56 until they're nothing but icy husks.

09:58 In other words, this kaiju can literally freeze you to death.

10:02 And did we mention that the Frost Vark's heavy armor makes it incredibly difficult to kill?

10:06 This aggressive kaiju actively tried to kill four of the show's main protagonists

10:15 on multiple occasions and very nearly succeeded.

10:18 Out of all the kaiju on the show, the Frost Vark definitely has the coldest heart.

10:23 "Oh my god!"

10:24 "Oh my god!"

10:24 "Help me get him out!"

10:25 "Help me get him out!"

10:36 "Oh my god!"
