Scariest enemy's you have ever faced in a game?

[Metalbiogearsofduty]

resident evil = regenerators
silent hill = child zombies (but i've only played SH1 and shattered memories)
overall = polyps from call of cthulu

 

[Xero Scythe]

Big Sister, Bioshock 2. I heard the Little Sister say "Big Sister doesn't like you playing with me." I'm the kind of guy who reads Game Informer, so naturally, all I could think of was "Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!!!!!"

...And then I actually fought with her. I had my back to a corner, high-ish ceiling, and enough Firestorm Traps (My name) to make the freakin' Pillar of Fire in the Old Testament seem like a joke. then I saw her. I hit her my main gun and a steam turret, and she walked into all my traps. She just kept coming. At this point my thoughts were more along the lines of "F***, F***, F***, F***, F***!!!!!!" Finally, I nailed her with the drill charge. On Fire. She disappeared. I laughed, relieved. I walked away from the wall, my hands shaking. I thought, "Wow, I actually beat Big Sister!" Then I screamed like a girl in fear.

Big Sister's giant needle protruded from my Big Daddy throat.

Apparently she crawled on the ceiling, got behind me without me noticing, and performed an assassination that would have made Ezio proud.

I never harvested another Little Sister again after that.

[RobThePrezodent]

level 3 pidgey, boy that shit was scary.

 

[LordTarran]

Fatal Frame. All of them. Pick anything

 

[swolf]

Pyramid Head from Silent Hill. 'nuff said. End of conversation, I win. All right, others... probably be SKX from Condemned.

 

[NotAPie]

Teleporting Taken in Alan Wake on Nightmare difficulty.
I mean sure it's not scary when you know where he is but I was using headphones, it was dark I had fucking low heath and I couldn't keep track of the guy and I went into PANIC MODE.
Seriously as soon as he got in my way I screamed like a little *****.

 

[SkellgrimOrDave]

Polyps in call of cthulhu: Dark corners of the earth.

Killed some deep ones, such and such, ooh a door and a bit of jumping around... hey it's a bit wind-HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THAT OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD

 

[BossBax]

The most an enemy in a videogame has ever scared me was in when i first watched my older brother play through Half Life (the first that is). In the Blast Pit level you come across three or so hugea** Tentacles in said Blast Pit. The first sight of them, i.e. them smashing the controlroom window and tearing appart a sientist gave me nightmares for weeks.

today every kind of enemy that goes "in yo face" on me when i least expect it has a good chance of geving me a heart attack. and i mean ANY enemy!

 

[Yureina]

Any game where I have to fight a clone of myself.

A more serious answer would be any monster that I have to fight underwater. I don't like water and I don't like scary animals that live in water like sharks. So to have to fight something like that underwater just freaks me the hell out.

 

[Vhite]

Spoiler: I still have a nightmares

 

[freakonaleash]

Nemesis or the first time encountering the lickers in Resident Evil.

 

[MutetheDrunk]

the Legend of Zelda redeads, those things traumatized me as a child, though not so much now

 

[black orchid1]

The ones from Halo were scary?

Red eyed knights and Swamp giants from Demon's souls. Especially horrifying since they look scary and are super hard to deal with (For demon's souls standard) too.

Ok, they were not THAT scary, but you were not expecting to fight anything other then aliens, not a alien parasite that turns your allies and other enemy's into decayed monsters.

i understand what you mean, its more the concept of them that is scary than the thing you see in the game

my scariest has to be the necromorphs, i really hated seeing the faces of the poeple that have turned into monsters screaming at me

 

[tycho0042]

pyramid head, pure fear in humanoid form. SH2 was the first game that made me NOT want to proceed ahead since I saw what behind steel bars ahead of me.
Scissorman from Clock Tower(PS1) was the other villain that made me completely panic as it bared down to do uncomfortable things with large implements to my poor character

 

[LordMoose]

The sheer Atmosphere in Prenumbra. It was the only game that i was too scared to finish And i've played a lot of games, to the point where I dont like FEAR because its boring.

 

[Baradiel]

Although I've never "got" the whole thing with Half Life (so shoot me!) fast zombies in Ravenholm were pretty scary. The rattling they make as they climb the pipes...

Also, the patients in the Shalebridge Cradle. Even the name makes me feel spooked. It was a freaky place to begin with, and then the zombies that dont make a sound apart from the lights flickering and the way that THEY DONT DIE. Kudos to Looking Glass for making such a memorable level. and by memorable I mean NIGHTMARE INDUCING.

 

[Enigma6667]

Pyramid Head obviously.

The Witch in L4D and L4D2 is always bad news, whenever I'm playing. Because we all know that one of us will end up dead, and that one of us will be stupid enough to startle that *****, god damnit.

 

[mekose]

The first time I saw the rock worm in Penumbra: Overture. I walked down a dark hallway to some double doors. The doors began to creak and something started banging on the door, throwing dust everywhere. I expected it to be a dog or a zombie, but then a giant slimy gapping maw broke through the door. I yelled "HOLY SHIT!!!", I was so terrified I didn't even move out of the way and I was swallowed whole. All in all it was pant-shittingly terrific, the Penumbra series is by far my favorite game series. I recommend it to anyone.

Those exploding rabbits in Red Steel. They're just unnerving...
