You create a phantasmal image of the most fearsome creature imaginable to the subject simply by forming the fears of the subject’s subconscious mind into something that its conscious mind can visualize: this most horrible beast.
It's not "what you fear most," it's "what imaginable creature would you fear most," so "my own cowardice" is not an option.
The effects of the spell are the same no matter what it is you fear; the GM is only asking so they can give a flavorful description of what happens.

Phantasmal Killer conjures the scariest creature. So your answer isn't valid. You'd have to name a monster/creature of some sort.
You don't have to name anything at all. It pulls from your subconscious mind. You don't even have to know you are afraid of it until it is right there in front of you. And the creature formed doesn't have to be one that actually exists. Maybe it does. Maybe bits of it are taken from other creatures. Doesn't matter.

Well, he could see himself as a craven version of himself or something like that. Then again that wouldn't really count as a fearsome creature I'd imagine, but hey... It's quite an hilarious way to go, to be honest. A cowardly version of yourself comes towards you, you drop dead from a heart attack.
