What makes a monster truly legendary? 🐉🔥 From the fire and arrogance of Smaug to the chilling menace of the White Walkers, I’m counting down the Top 10 Monsters in Fantasy Literature — the creatures that defined entire genres, terrified generations, and made us love the dark side of imagination.

Fantasy monsters come in every shape and size: dragons, demons, spirits, shadows… and a few beings so abstract they bend theology itself. This list is MY personal ranking — from #10 all the way up to that perfect, gold-hoarding #1. Do you agree with my picks? Which monsters would make your list? Drop your thoughts down in the comments — and beware the shadows while you type.

✨ If you enjoy fantasy, sci-fi, and horror — and the occasional witty rant about them — make sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and RING THE BELL so you don’t miss any of our episodes.
