Who are some of your favourite nasty little freaks?
The weirdos in fiction who are creepy, weird and offputting but frequently memorable.
I think someone in SE++ did a thread semi-recently on a similar topic, but I was thinking about freaks today and hoped others would be too.
I'll start off with the guy that McCoy tries to get a lift to the Genesis Planet from in Star Trek III.
Four years after Yoda in Empire Strikes Back, this guy has spiky facial hair, plenty of earrings and bizarre syntax.

I recently watched Phantom of the Paradise for the first time and was delighted when Paul Williams introduces us to the future... BEEF!
Beef then proceeds to emerge from a coffin in full glam rock gear and snarls at the camera.

Jack Kirby's Fourth World Saga has a lot of nasty little freaks, but today I'm highlighting Darkseid's grand vizier-type assistant, Desaad.
He loves nothing more than torture and treachery.
Give me your weirdos, your oddities, your huddled masses yearning to breathe freak.

Hoggle, a classic of nasty little guys.
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
I only just watched Labyrinth this year and I wholly agree with his freak status.
Salacious Crumb is a longtime freak in good standing.
I think I vaguely remember Bump in the Night as one of those kids shows on cable when I was younger. I cannot dispute the freakiness.

Fuck these guys, fuck this movie series, fuck Michael Bay
For some reason, I did not recall the fail end of the film - like the last 10-15 minutes.
Basically everything from Labyrinth is a good choice.
But that worm always sticks with me.
an occasional recurring character whose primary trade appears to be fake ids, delightfully mundane for a human-sized praying mantis

I'm not familiar with this freak, what are they from?
Is that from Mac and Me?
An excellent deep lore freak, good pull.
Oh hell yes, Rigel is a primo freak.

Not gonna lie -- I thought that was a Skeksis, and just nodded to myself, "Yes, good pick," but clearly I was not looking too close.
But this freak... Kuato!
Verhoven's movies really freaked the hell out of me as a kid. Between the gore and violence, dark humor and just plain meanness. You could probably find a freak in each film, really. All classic films though, mostly. The nerd trio of them anyway.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Is anybody gonna
