If an evil entity took the form of one of the Mane Seven, which would be the scariest?
Scenario
Arabus is a mist-like being of pure malevolence that was accidentally unleashed when a crew of construction ponies disturbed its resting place.
It is perfectly capable to causing havoc in its "natural" form, but it needs a physical body to reach its true potential: It doesn't matter if it's an Earth Pony, a Pegasus or a Unicorn/Alicorn. It has its own brand of magic abilities that it can use once it has a flesh-and-blood form.
Fortunately, it cannot find a vessel that it likes.
Unfortunately, when the Mane Six (and Starlight) confront Arabus after he destroys Appleoosa, it sees the vessel that it wants and possesses her.
It imprisons her in a mental "dungeon" and buries her deep, deep, deep in her subconscious mind. She cannot escape or be of any help to her friends: She can only watch as Arabus uses her form to enact its evil plans for destruction and conquest.
While in this form, Arabus has all of its victim's memories.
Also (and we're getting to the real reason for the scenario), the being takes on the personality of its vessel.
It doesn't turn good, there's no hope for redemption here. Rather, it just takes on the personality and mannerisms, mimicking the vessel so well that you could almost forget that they are possessed (aside from the whole "trying to make ponies extinct with eldritch powers" thing).
If it possessed Pinkie, it would (generally) act like Pinkie, sound like Pinkie, use words that Pinkie would know, bring up events from Pinkie's memories, all while terrorizing the population of Equestria and wiping out whole towns and cities and trying to eradicate the pony species.
If it possessed Fluttershy, it would (generally) act like Fluttershy, sound like Fluttershy, use words that Fluttershy would know...
...and so on.
Rare occasions (such as being insulted or defeated) would break the facade: Her eyes flash red, her voice suddenly goes deep and a faint, sickly glow suddenly surrounds her body.
Which member of the Mane Seven would be the scariest if Arabus took their form/persona?
