the kryll and lambent wretches from gears 1.

kryll: OK then you've got wings made of razor blades, I'll stay away from you.. oh wait.. i have to run THROUGH you...

lambents: right so you're just like normal wretches but all glowy? *chainsaw* HOLY CRAP YOU EXPLODE!?!

There shall only be one TRUE answer. Ladies and Gentlemen: PYRAMID HEAD!

He's big, he has a giant sword, his hobbies include murder, rape, and beethoven, and HIS HEAD IS SHAPED LIKE A FUCKING PYRAMID!!!

hell yes, this guy scared the crap out of me in SH2

 

[LazyArtist]

The incredibly fast invisible ninja enemies from the original F.E.A.R

Crawling around the walls and roof, fading in and out of visibility and being FUCKING FAST!!! The first time I saw these things I went paranoid and became incredibly trigger happy

[Super_Nintendo_Chalmers]

These guys from Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee.

Spoiler

They honestly scared the hell out of me when I got the game, although I was about 4.
To this day they still scare the pants off of me.

Uninvited. Scarlett O'Hara. If you don't know what I'm talking about, good

Would you believe the scariest monster I ever saw was in a Spiderman game?

Laugh it up, if you will, but it was one of the first PC games I owned. I'd gone through the usual menagerie of Spidey villains, Venom (who deserves honorable mention for making me panic as he fights you while slowly drowning M.J,) Mysterio, Rhino, Scorpion, what have you. Nothing terribly out of place.

During the end part of the game, you fought Doc Ock, which was neat, and Carnage, which was fairly creepy.

Then the game gave Doc Ock Carnage's symbiote.

Spoiler

The one, and only, Monster Ock appearance.
Indestructible, smashes through anything, and chases you through an exploding base for 6 levels. Oh, yeah, that scream? He'll make it every time he catches you

And that's the scariest monster I ever saw in video games.

Oh my God, I know exactly what you mean! I was terrified of Monster Ock as a kid.

 

[headphonegirl]

The boss monsters in monster hunter, they themselves aren't scary, its just that they appear from nowhere

 

[Azaradel]

From Diablo.
If you've played it, you know what I'm talking about

Spoiler

The Butcher!

That evil bastard used to haunt my dreams when I was younger.

Though I still found this guy scarier.

The internet seems to have forgotten about King Leoric.
I was hoping to find a more dramatic picture of him *sulk*

I believe my thought process went something like this;

"Ok, the Butcher is scary as shit, but I'll still kill him."

"Oh, this is where I have to go to kill King Leor---"
"The warmth of life has entered my tomb. Prepare yourself, mortal, to serve my Master for eternity!"

*finds a bed to hide under*

Spoiler: Stay away from the ones that cry I saw one RIP apart ten people

Why did you click? It said to stay away. You're only alive now because this isn't Expert.

Also, I'm surprised no one's mentioned the sounds a Half-Life 2 zombie makes.

Spoiler: No, no, no! AAaaaaaaaaaa, whyyyy? Help, God help, help me!

The witch isn't scary to me i actually think she is quite hot..
No about what was scary to me hmmmm....Well does the t-rex from the lost world on the ps1 count?...and the carntosaurus that was scary when you were a small compy...
Anyway guys it is not all your opinions of what is scary and what is not but if it scared YOU not the other person...
Also the big sister from bioshock 2.

 

[Tony2077]

Alma from F.E.A.R if that counts.

she's not scary just really messed up

She reminds me too much of something from The Ring/Grudge, so I wasn't too impressed with her.

i don't find horror movies scary they are just either gorefests or have crappy endings or both i know of a few good horror movies

 

[Kurokami]

The title says it all. Which monster out of all the games you have played had the number one crap your pants scary monster in your eyes? Like the type of creature that makes that game unplayable in the dark? Soemthing tells me we'll probably recieve a few Silent Hill monsters. Also add pictures if you can, but please add spoilers to the image to save space on the thread.

I really disliked Deathclaws and Yao-Gui in Fallout 3 because they always snuck up on you and scared the crap out of me.

Spoiler

Top: The Deathclaw.

Bottom: The Yau-Gui.

This may strike people as strange but I think it would have to be the Tonberry from FF8. They slowly advance on you and the first time I've fought them I was poorly Junctioned and low level so I did horribly against them.

Another thing was a rat from Oblivion which jumped me from half a cave away.

Anyway these aren't actually the scariest monsters in games, rather the scariest monster moments I've had.

 

[ExileNZ]

The cybernetic midwives from System Shock 2. Between their tinny voices and those whining servo-motors (and their unfortunate tendancy to appear behind me) they scared the living crap out of me and remain the only monster from that game I actually dread.

People who played as a grunt instead of a psi-op probably don't have this problem (laser rapier + legs = easy kill), but then the game was never scary enough as a grunt.

"I'll tear out your spiiiiine!"

EDIT: Actually, Shodan from SS1, too. In SS2 she was just arrogant, but in the first one she genuinely creeped me out. Her "Who ARE you?" speech deprived me of sleep (not helped by the fact that in SS1 she's just plain uglier).

 

[omega 616]

Chainsaw zombie's from RE 4, those guys scare the crap out of me. And in RE 5 the phsycos get back up randomly

Bag heads? As I call them.

On topic. I think

Spoiler: Hunters

http://www.residenteviluncut.com/newre3hunter.gif
They mightn't look like much but they can one hit you if your anything less than perfect health

or

Spoiler: Reapers

These are a pain to kill sometimes!

 

[steampunk42]

the chickens from ocorina of time...you cant kill them...you cant run from them...they will never stop coming...ARRRGGGHH!

 

[Nemu]

There shall only be one TRUE answer. Ladies and Gentlemen: PYRAMID HEAD!

He's big, he has a giant sword, his hobbies include murder, rape, and beethoven, and HIS HEAD IS SHAPED LIKE A FUCKING PYRAMID!!!

As many have posted before, Pyramid Head is also my fave scary monster. God, I hate myself for "loving" that character, but he is scary and badass all at once. ><!

In fact, this thread may make me whip out my old ava of him...

i used to dread that whole game but now I'm desensitized or grown up i don't know
