Mechanics and rules don't make anything scary. Some crunch can be used to better effect in-game to make players uneasy or scared, but it isn't the rules portion that evokes that reaction. It's more about the DM's ability to portray that atmosphere in-game - but for evoking that from the monster itself, the flavor text and description are paramount in providing the DM with the tools and most importantly the inspiration to do that in-game.IMO of course.</blockquote>
