The Shield is an interesting choice in this context, since part of what makes its final moments so memorable is the ambiguity (something that the ST finale had a bit of as well).
My first answer would have been Terriers, which literally ended on a question.

Imagine how bloated it would be if they had obsessively tried to answer every question or ensure that everything was clearly explained (which are the most common complaints I’m seeing)?

My spouse commented to him that she liked the shirt and thought it was appropriate.
After we were seated, we saw a commotion where he was sitting. It was only then that we realized it was Jose Andres…
(So, in this case, we interacted with someone that we only later realized was famous.)

I played it once, at a convention, run by the designer (I think), and it was a blast, but it never worked as well for me.
But, the way I internalized the central flowchart changed the way I ran other games. It made me re-think when to ask players for rolls and how to make sure scenes resolve.

In my opinion, the only way to make autonomous cars safe is to make the executives criminally liable for the actions of their cars. Anything short of that will just be seen as the cost of doing business.

Paul Atreidies, for that matter. Though one could argue the Reverend Mother is a monster by choice and Paul is a monster by necessity.
Other monsters-in-contention:
Andrew “Ender” Wiggin.
Baru Cormorant.
Gulliver “Gully” Foyle.
John Gaius, Emperor of the Nine Houses.
