Richie (the common use of "Dick" as his first name began in the '70s IIRC) Allen was terror-inducing. Part of that was his bat, but part of it was his personality as well. Both were fierce. You could strike him out, but if you didn't it was BIG trouble. Take Manny Ramirez in his prime, make him a spit-in-your-face-scowler instead of a screw-around, lessen the plate and swing discipline and replace it with the aforementioned fierceness, you've got Richie Allen.
