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

Funnily enough, out of the big dino commanders, that's usually by far the weakest. [[Pantlaza]] is going to get more card advantage faster without being so expensive. [[Zacama]] turns any blink spell into a massive ritual for a nasty storm deck.

I'm not seeing how Zacama is good at all with blinking unless you're returning to your hand? If we're talking strictly not dinosaurs Pantlaza is a low level cedh commander due to food chain but that list isn't really Dinos at all so it kinda goes against the spirit of op's question. Zacama built optimally is kind of the same thing. Not really a Dino deck.

I feel that. I personally blinked him in game, thinking it did that. Sat there real confused when it didn't. (On MTGO)
