Im sorry, but in at least one aspect to me, you are dead wrong. For some reason i have never FELt a more iconic character than Asterious the Minotaur. He stood out so much to me in that movie for his act of sacrifice, that Prince caspian became one of the greatest movies of all time for me. Maybe it was becuase he gave redemption to his race for past mistakes, but for what ever reason, he will forever be iconic, at the very least, to me.

This is going way indie and weird…but what about that “baby/monster/thing” from David Lynch’s ERASERHEAD…or the monster rabbit from DONNIE DARKO?

I definitely agree with Jaws and Yoda. Maybe even the ewoks from Star Wars as well. It says “monsters” so that kind of rules out easy picks like; Benji, and The Brave Little Toaster. I’d say only about ten of their 20 are REALLY “iconic”… and none of them include Harry Potter characters, as they’re WAY to new to be “iconic”.

I agree. I was disappointed when I saw that list too. They just picked some really random creatures that definitely weren’t iconic.
