Top 10 Scariest Video Game Enemies

Where is Alma?

2D stuff are scarier than the ones above.

Try playing X-Multiply, you'll understand.

And oh yeah, Giygas.

F.E.A.R enemies arent included :( fail list is fail.

The Witch isn't very scary after the first time you see her. The first time it's "Hey look, that girl is crying! She must be a survivor so Ill just HOLY FUCK IM DEAD". But someone better make a list like this for bosses and add Pyramid Head.

Yea The Suffering! One hell of a scary game.

Where the hell is the Cyber Demon from Doom and Hammer Haunts from the Thief?

Where is that horrific people faked dog thing from Siren? Oh, the horror! That thing is nightmare inducing.

It's hard to make a list like this because it lumps ALL genres of horror in. Most of these enemies are purely of the "cat scare" variety. They freak you out because they pop out of nowhere and shriek. Hunters, Crimson Heads, pretty much every horror creature form any FPS, especialy love this, but then the Silent Hill creatures love to pull this as well, but usually, they just spawn after you go through a door that had a safe hall a moment before.

As for real scares, those Regenerators and Iron Maidens from RE4 had the stuff to make you wet your pants, even though you knew where they were and that they were slow as crap. The RE1 remake zombies were effective thanks largely to their ability to kill you in a 1 on 1 every time. A few Silent Hill creatures liked to pull this trick as well, and Deathclaws will ruin you if you aren't prepared, and they'll ruin you even if you are prepared and they are standing on the other side of a town.

2D scary stuffs (such as Irem bio bosses) are scarier than anything at the list above.

Know Irem? They are behind the creations of R-Type and X-Multiply. Not forgetting the giant living statue with fleshy innards in In the Hunt.

X-Multiply is full of scary shit as fuck.

Ok, who in the world had the idea of using a KNIFE against the Iron Maiden from RE4!?

What? No (semi-?)invisible bastards off F.E.A.R. on the list?

Dead Space..

Those ghosts from Fatal Frame are more scary shit than all of the list.

Where is the sun of doom from Mario 3?
I totally freaked out when it first moved.

where´s Phanto?

Deathclaws scary? They weren't even scarier than the demons in Doom 3.

Nothing from Doom 3 here. What has the world come to...

Giygas from Earthbound is scarier than anything in this list.

Where are the Flood from Halo one? Or the wallhands from LoZ?

Crimson Zombie made it instead of the hunters? Or any of the G & Veronica Viruses? Morpheus from dead aim was one of the most terrifying experiences I've ever had. You'd have thought Kojima designed that first encounter after he ejected himself.

Vincent from SH3 or Your mother(no joke here) from SH0rigins should have been there. No broken neck from Fatal Frame? Or at least Sae from Crimson Butterfly :/

Why no Boks?

where's pyramid head?

Killing Floor's "Flesh Pounder" deserves to be on the top 3.....

man, i shit my pants everytime i remember my first encounter against iron man

No STALKER creatures? Not even a Bloodsucker?

This list is invalid.

If the witch looked anything how fans draw her I'd actually put her higher on this list XD.

So where's Doom 3, Quake 4 monstahs?

Isn't Bio Shock the spiritual successor to System Shock? Does that count?

I thought of Pyramid Head as soon as I read the topic.

Sad.. the scariest monster for me are modded Hunger from Morrowind.. To see those long legged devil runs toward you in the dark then paralyzing you while beating you silly is enough to give you nightmare >.<

quake 4, teleporting maiden. wtf, teleport in your face .... WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!

You know, as a kid I've always been terrified of the redeads in OoT, but an enemy from that game which terrified me even more is that one thing you have to fight before you get the lens of truth. Deadhand, I think its name was?

The scariest video game enemies are bears IMO.

deathclaw and witch shouldnt be there. there should be fatal frame ghosts the rest are pretty justified

All of D2's bosses should be on there.

redead? hahahhahahaha ah well considering to Link is half GAY elf, maybe.

I still get nightmares of the Iron Maiden, Took me a month to beat RE4 just because I was scared shitless of that beast. I'm over it though, if you played enough horror games it won't hit you as hard anymore. Suffering was a great scary game too

Spot on about the System Shock absences. I will never forget those ever so friendly suicide bomber robots.

"Sir? May I help you?"

"OH GOD! KILL IT! KILL IT! KILL IT!"

How about Fatal Frame ghosts?? like the blinding woman and the tatoo priestess??

I'm suprised that the crimson head is in but no NEMESIS?! that one almost made me wet my pants when he comes out from nowhere!

epic loss! no giygas, SOTN beelzebub, or even drac's true form! epic loss! epic loss!

TVTROPES's High Octane Nightmare Fuel series is over 9000 times scarier!

What, no Evil Otto? You babies!

The witch is not scary at all..

No wallmasters?

Haaa I Love it how Zelda not only makes it to Top 10 Ways to Die in a video game but also to scariest Enemies! Yay Zelda! XD

I'm throwing my votes to the ghosts from Fatal Frame, the ghosts from Silent Hill 4, and everything in Siren. Those three scared me the most I think. Don't necessarily agree with spider splicers or slashers. Didn't have a problem with either. Some of the enemies from the first Condemned game frightened me too. Just walking along... arrghh! *thwack* pipe upside the head. Then they'd proceed to shake the fuck out of you. At which point you may kiss your ass goodbye because you weren't able to see shit.

Personally I think Dr. Salvador should be on the list, but maybe deranged human beings don't count...
