Awesome NPCs

[Durxom]

Have you ever found just some random character/monster in a game, that was just so weird or random or something(ie. a monster with a minigun and turrets attached to it's head for no point) that it was awesome and just made the rest of the game for you?

My example is going to be the Prinnies from the Disgaea series, for 2 reasons:
1) Dood!!! , 2) They are penguins that hold the souls of sinners and explode when you throw them.

Spoiler: A Prinny

Edit: It can either be a secondary character, or just a random NPC found in-game.

 

[Deathkingo]

Chicago Ted from L4D. I am a rhymin' beast.

 

[Chimpaco]

i vote Slave collars in fallout 3. I know thats not an NPC but anybody you put them onto... Bam... Awsome

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Mr Saturn

 

[TaborMallory]

I always jump and click my heels whenever I find M'aiq The Liar.

M'aiq knows much; tells some. M'aiq knows many things others do not.

 

[Sassafrass]

Cpl. Dunn in MW2. And the runner guy from same game who forgets the callsign.

 

[Inco]

Claptrap from borderlands. He makes me crack up with his 'look im dancing!!' line.
Also, the end game thing was hilarious.

 

[GodsAndFishes]

I can't remember the name of the NPC (if she even had one) but her one line made the entire game.
"You wanna talk ta El Ray thas cool"

Cookie for anyone who guesses the game thats from.

 

[Gralian]

I can't believe no-one's mentioned Pyramid Head yet!

For me, it's the talking mudcrab merchant in morrorwind.
...Just how did it manage to get so much gold?

 

[ae86gamer]

Claptrap from Borderlands. He's great.

 

[Clown Crown]

Mine would be Cl4p TP (clap trap) from Borderlands. *party boy* "look im dancing im dancing!!!"

Ninja'd >_<

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

There is one NPC whom I hold as my favorite above all others and tend to quote when Oblivion is mentioned. The female Argonian follower of Sheogorath.
"Used to be a dog, got better though, not a better dog, i'm a terrible dog."

 

[Rand-m]

And, uh, Scooter from Borderlands. Funny guy.

Seconded, thirded and fourthed.

"He's an old buddy of mine, and by buddy, I mean sonuvabitch that ruined my momma's girl parts."

 

[Vrex360]

That NPC in the NES Zelda game 'Link to the past' who says:
"I am error."
That guy's awesome.

Okay seriously I gotta go with the Elites in Halo 2 (when you are the Arbiter) and in Halo 3, solely because they actually feel like useful allies who don't just get killed after a few hits. Having allies that also have energy sheilds equal to yours I just found a lot more fun.

 

[EnzoHonda]

I can't remember the name of the NPC (if she even had one) but her one line made the entire game.
"You wanna talk ta El Ray thas cool"

Cookie for anyone who guesses the game thats from.

Yeah, look at my avatar.

DX for the win.

 

[csonsntheabyss]

I'd have to say dev/null from Vampire The Masquerade: Redemption.
Basically a hacker that sputters nonsense in true Malkavian form.

 

[Argtee]

HK-47 from KOTOR

He's the best companion that you can get.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

That Argonian woman in the Shivering Isles for Oblivion.
The one who ran in circles all day yelling: "Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni", and then occasionally stopping and asking you for shoes or food. "Mmm an apple, nice and crunchy!"

It was a poisoned one.
Heh.
