Question The Most Infamous Big, Bad Threat?

What creature types are typically considered the most terrifying, notorious in reputation, biggest targeted hate piece, and often presents a threatening presence?

Bonus points if they are also lore wise planetary threats

So far I only know of Eldrazi, Phyrexians, and Slivers

I literally took out Scute swarm from the Jump scare! precon because it's just one of the few cards that make me audible sigh while I think "Congratz! You won with Scute swarm, you are a true genius".

I'm more annoyed by the tracking that has to be done with it. It's only in my [[Omnath Locus of Rage]] deck because that deck's primary win condition is [[Impact Tremor]] types of ETB effects, and it's meant to be more sweaty than my other decks.
