It's honestly quite beautiful yet terrifying at the same time. In a way I think Gloriosa is one of the scariest villains in MLP. I'm not saying that she was nightmare inducing.



What I mean is that she's scary in that she's crazy. Usually crazy people think they are in the right or that they are sane. In a way she in her own crazy way she does care for the campers in a nurturing overly protective motherly way on the other hand she's honestly not aware that she was almost gonna kill all the campers. It doesn't help the fact that she's pretty much unpredictable(did you saw how she reacted when Rarity mentioned the Spa? Wow!).



I find the idea of someone crazy with a weapon to be terrifying because you don't expect what he or she would do next. In a way it's kinda like Wez from Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior and Toecutter from Mad Max although I'm not sure if those 2 would make a good example.



It honestly reminds me of the villains from Batman be either from the cartoon, the comic books or the movies. In that they are insane. And while I think Sunset Shimmer, The Dazzlings, Abacus Cinch and Midnight sparkle are the better villains Gloriosa on her own still stands on her own as scary mostly because she's unpredictable.
