shadowkatThis is Day 13 of 30 Days of Halloween Challenge
A favorite villain in a film, book or television series.
The Weeping Angels from Doctor Who
Stephen Moffat created the weeping angels - which if you blink, they move and if they get close enough - they throw you into another time line.
The Weeping Angels were an extremely powerful species of quantum-locked humanoids (sufficient observation changes the thing being observed), so called because their unique nature necessitated that they often covered their faces with their hands to prevent trapping each other in petrified form for eternity by looking at one another. This gave the Weeping Angels their distinct "weeping" appearance. They were known for being "kind" murderous psychopaths, eradicating their victims "mercifully" by dropping them into the past and letting them live out their full lives, just in a different time period. This, in turn, allowed them to live off the remaining time energy of the victim's life. However, when this potential energy paled in comparison to an alternative power source to feed on, the Angels were known to kill by other means, such as snapping their victims' necks.

I loved The Weeping Angels - best villain ever. I don't, however, consider them exactly monsters...
