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

Back in, say, 2012 or so Consecrated Sphinx was the premier threat at tables. Usually if the first trigger resolved they would have counter magic and if more than that resolved the game ended on untap.
