The Scary Monster strongly resembles a Shadow (one of the ancient spacefaring races, and the main antaogonists in Season Two to about halfway through Season Four) from the SF TV series Babylon 5, which aired around the same time as Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Since the monster ate a kid wearing a Star Trek shirt, this may be a reference to the often vehement online conflicts between Star Trek and Babylon 5 fans at that time.
