Well, in FF IV (at least in the DS version) there is a sandworm you may encounter early in the game that is way overpowered at that point.
Also, Iron Knuckles from Ocarina of Time was terrifying with Link as a child. It really creeps me out when an enemy just sit there and you know it is powerful and you have to wake it up if you want to advance in the game.

How have Deathclaws not been mentioned yet?
Everyone's, and I mean EVERYONE'S, first thought when these pop up on screen is "FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!"
Seriously, fuck those guys.
The gorillas and the mummies from the original Tomb Raider. I DARE you not to shit yourself whenever you encounter those fucks!
Unless of course you have a headset that allows you to pinpoint their exact location through sound. It makes the game easier, but also kind of ruins the effect they're supposed to have.IBlackKiteI said:
OT: I don't know why this popped into my head, but I HATED fighting super battle droids in Republic Commando. Those bastards were tough.
It has to be the sewer monster from the really old point and click adventrue game "Escape from Horrorland". Shees... can't remember how many times I jumped when I rounded a corner and looked into its eye.
Also, first time I played RE4... the chainsaw dude really... just would not .... die...

the hunter from Dead space.
anytime its around and chasing you, its as terrifying as hell, mostly because its impossible to kill the fucker.

god those bloodsuckers from shadow of Chernobyl! cos 1st time i saw one was when i went to that whole abandoned village of em, verge of darkness, cornered in a basement gun fixated on the trapdoor down hearing like 4-5 of em in the room above, waiting till dawn to have a fighting chance, and i forgot to quick-save for a while so id backtrack a shitload of time if i didn't fight em. thank god i had a shitload of grenades at the time 
The Welder from Yahtzee's Chzo Mythos series. He is the scariest 16 bit character ever. http://lparchive.org/The-Chzo-Mythos/Update%2016/6-capture_23032010_010747_copy.png
Truely evil knights from Harry Potter 1&2 on the PS1. I've never since been as scared of an enemy.
They work by running up to you, clanking horribly, and won't stop chasing you untill they get close enough to swing their axe at you, and that's the only time they are vunerable.
So you are forced to have them almost kill you just to defeat them.
And I was seven.

those creepy babies from dead space that have those 3 tentacles coming out of their back really most of the stuff from dead space was pretty scary.(looking forward to getting dead space 2)
There is only one enemy I consistently run away from in the Final Fantasy series. I'll bet most of you can guess which recurring enemy it is in two guesses. Here's a picture:
He may be so damn cute but depending on the game, a stab by its knife will deal 90% damage, 9999 damage, or automatically kill you. It also has some pretty decent HP and defense in most FF games, meaning it's difficult to kill.
Terrifying looking? Not in the least. But I do run almost every time rather than fight so that does say something about the fear this thing puts into me.
And I am not alone here. Here's a picture from DeviantArt that about sums it up:
