Jason Blood must deal with a fear demon that is scaring people to death.

Maybe Harry just hasn’t met the right dragon.

The demon takes Jason to its mistress.

The Kamara will return in Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing.

So the sheriff's greatest fear was... fanged purple humanoid monsters which shoot eyebeams? That's a rather specific fear.

The kamara itself isn't especially scary, here in its first appearance, as opposed to how Bisette and Totleben would draw it in Swamp Thing. Though that's probably the point.

And in any case, for sheer under-the-skin terror -- in terms of what's implied rather than shown -- nothing beats the kamara's transformation, in Swamp Thing #26, into little Jessica's greatest fear.

Now I'm curious how it survived. Teleportation spell?

The Iron Duke did tell her to send it back where it came from, rather than destroy it.
