We all know a lot of people have a love hate relationship with Vampires. However, I want to know which dark creature you love the most. Do you like the cunning of the Devil, the dark and mysterious Grim Reaper, a Greek mythological beast, or something you completely made up? Sometimes they are scary, but often they are misunderstood. Some even have a soft side.
The one in the frame; the M113 Creature from the "Star Trek" episode "The Man Trap" is mine. She is a creature that can take any shape, but usually that of a woman the men have loved in the past so she can get close to her victim and suck all the salt out of their bodies with her suction cup fingertips. I really felt a lot of sympathy for her, yet was scared of her at the same time. That's what I'd like to see here; your emotions over the creature.
So here's what I want you to do. Amazingly I don't want a full story. I just want your description and why you love that specific monster. I don't want a simple "I love vampires because they're cool." I want you to describe the creature in detail and why you love each of their attributes in detail! Don't give me some dry explanations, be creative with it.
I like learning about new creatures so keep that in mind. I'd really like to see no two of the same creatures in this contest if possible.
New writes only because, really, do people have something exactly like this laying around ready to be posted?
Between 200-1000 words. If it is under, it better be good, if it is over it better be worth it.
I typically abhor bad grammar in stories but in pieces like this I will let some of it slide. Try to at least write like a human.

I absolutely adore Hades in Greek Mythology. I suppose he's more of a god than a "creature" but his overall appearance and personality is dark and I absolutely love that.

I’ve always been fascinated with the dark creature, Grim Reaper, simply because of its job.1

Great contest idea. If I ever get ten seconds of peace I'll try to scribble something down resembling human writing.
-
-
What? Jack write like a human? No, I'll let you write like the alien you are, just this once.
-

Where the heck did all these entries come from? Damn I better get my ass in gear if I want to enter this thing!
I can't make up my mind. I've narrowed it down to Paris Hilton or Amy Winehouse, both terrifying in their own right. I hope nobody's used either one yet. Decisions, decisions... -
-
Hmmm... I don't know much about Amy Winehouse but if she's as scary as Paris that'd be great.

I like this contest idea. Anyone who knows me will say my favorite creature is the vampire... but, I will not use that for this contest (I have a feeling it'll be used a lot anyway) I want to give my opinion on another 'creature' that fascinates me if that's okay
-
-
hehe... yeah I think it's a lot of people's favorite and that's why I was trying to hint away from it and get other creatures.
-
-
wow, that picture is about creepy!
-
-
isn't it though
-

Hey, I think I saw this Star Trek! I've only seen a few, when I was little, and this is one that I remember distinctly. It scared the bijeebiez out of me! (I honestly don't know why, though...
) Anyway, on a relevant subject, I will try to enter this contest, probably write something about the Grim Reaper. No promises, though...I have a lot of stuff going right now 
-
-
hehe, yeah she's probably scarier than the one that scared me as a kid (the horta, a blob of silicon that can burn through rocks, or humans)
Anyway, looking forward to it.

wait for me ....i'll be there in a few....days
-
-
ok, no problem, I already increased the count just in case.
-
-
God, compared to all the rest, my Krakan seems pretty crap xD
Love the contest idea, though ^^

Don't put yourself down. I haven't read it yet, but you never know.

Wow, talk about bad timing, I just posted a story about 2 minutes ago about witches, just because i was bored
stupid timing...
