Plenty of games allow players to apply spooky cosmetics to their characters – some only for special events, and others usable at all times. But very few can boast the same level of abundance as Minecraft and its skin options. Ranging from the slightly unsettling to the truly horrific, players in search of a monstrous skin are absolutely spoiled for choice. Unfortunately, that makes searching for the perfect costume quite the hassle. This list will (hopefully) save you time & trouble so you can grab a skin and start terrorizing the world of Minecraft as soon as possible.

1. Water Elemental

Check Out This Skin There are few things more mysterious and frightening than what might lurk in the depths of the ocean – especially in exploration games. In Minecraft there are plenty of monsters to be found in such places. And they’re challenging monsters at that. But with this skin you could easily outclass them all. If you want to rule the seas, be it in multiplayer or singleplayer, this creature skin is worth trying.

2. Swamp Creature

Check Out This Skin Don’t let the cuteness of this monster deceive you—she’s just as deadly as the rest, and her charm only makes her hunts easier. The witches who would usually own the swamps have nothing on this glowing fae-like creature. Whether you’re looking to cut the witches down and claim the swamplands for yourself, or would prefer to keep some alive but subjugated, this skin is sure to help.

3. Minotaur

Check Out This Skin Despite originating in ancient Greek mythology, minotaurs have become quite prevalent in modern media. No less monstrous than the Bull of Minos, this skin would likely be extra effective at terrifying the stonemasons in villages or potentially even decorative furniture shops in multiplayer. Just don’t tell them that bulls aren’t actually all that destructive in nature… the Mythbusters tested it.

4. Ghost Creeper

Check Out This Skin The ghost of what’s effectively a living pile of gunpowder has no right to look this spooky. Just take a gander here. It’s a floating skull wearing a second smaller skull as a head, and a third even smaller skull on its back… yeah, that’s a downright disconcerting thing to see. And this could easily be described as “monstrous”. It also seems to contain more than one soul, which may contribute to the explosive nature of the creepers in the same way it does the wither.

5. Metallivore

Check Out This Skin Unlike the others so far, this skin is most definitely not from this world—or Minecraft’s world, for that matter. Looking undeniably alien and obviously hostile (at times even towards itself), this creature was born with a hunger that can never be sated. Ripping, tearing, and devouring its way through everything in its path, even sections of the monster’s metal carapace have fallen victim to the ravenous beast. If your preferred methods of destruction are as indiscriminate as they are effective, download this skin and don’t look back.

6. The Stranger in the Shadows

Check Out This Skin Looking like a sinister skin to be sure, this design is perfect for creeping around and watching from the shadows. Wearing a hooded robe complete with a distorted red creeper face on the back, this just seems like a walking nightmare. Alpha101Wolf (the creator of this skin) communicates this monster’s intentions extremely well. High quality, intricately detailed, and shaded beautifully, this is worth wearing for any player with a mean streak.

7. Drowned Warrior

Check Out This Skin The drowned are already a bothersome fight – especially when spawned wielding a trident that can challenge any player who gets caught off guard. One with the ability to use multiple weapons and tools, place blocks, and wear armor are a terrifying thought indeed. And with this skin, that nightmare could become a reality (in Minecraft) that unlucky server players may have to face.

8. Pumpkin Demon

Check Out This Skin Pumpkins hold immense power in the world of Minecraft. They’re capable of giving life to friendly metal and snow constructs known as golems. So it stands to reason that, given the existence of hostile constructs like the wither, such properties could be used to create a monster instead. Enter this pumpkin demon skin. Complete with a jack-o’-lantern head grinning far too wide, and tattered clothing being burned away by an eerily glowing body, this creature is sure to inspire fright in all of your unsuspecting victims.

9. Glare

Check Out This Skin If you’ve ever wanted to be the multitude of eyes shining in the dark brush of a haunted forest, this is the skin for you. Swampy and overgrown, the lush caverns and boggy wetlands of Minecraft would be much more terrifying with this creepy character lurking around. After all, thinking there’s a swarm of creatures surrounding you is bad enough—how much worse would it be to see this thing emerge instead? Fighting off a handful of giant spiders seems far more manageable.

10. Lava Monster

Check Out This Skin This skeletal monstrosity looks like a wither skeleton had a lava-related mishap and truly became one with the Nether. Its unnerving one-eyed stare would likely even have experienced players shaking in their boots. The Nether is already a hostile place to navigate. But creatures like this could easily take the dimension from a place to be treated with caution, to a place to be avoided at all costs. If that’s the kind of change (and carnage) you want to see in Minecraft, then consider adding this skin to your collection.
