Creepiest enemies in non-horror games?
- Thread starter Magic-Man
- Start date
Ah yes! I remember being a small little boy rushing down the slopes.. the lingering feeling of dread and excitement - the fact that at any time that mf would come and swallow me whole..
The Flood in Halo is the reason the game got a M for mature rating back in the day, pretty scary.
Broodmothers in Dragon Age are pretty damn horrific.
Worse that...
The one you fight was actually a Dwarf once... Like... how in the fuck.
What an easy winner. Souls games are littered with this horrifying shit.
Jumped out of my seat when I saw this mob. Possibly had an audible gasp as the air involuntarily left my body. Not this mobtype, but this exact mob, because it's exact location is seared into my mind. I walked past it once or twice before I even saw the fucking thing. That made the entire encounter about a million times worse.
The Skulltula's in Twilight Princess, at least they freaked me out more when I was younger. I think it's just the realistic art style of the game because they never really bothered me in the other games. That, and the way they just scurry towards you with those giant legs.
I guess this counts because Fallout 3 wasn't a horror game (but perhaps its dlc Point Lookout leaned a little into the genre - not for me I don't think). Out of context they look quite silly, but when you are traveling at night and you see these swampfolk dancing around a bonfire, clapping and laughing, it gets eerie.
I let Maria make visceral attacks on me because that counts as first base.
As a kid I was terrified from zombies. So when I play Metroid Prime 2 and this was the first enemy I stoped playing for 2 years.
Also from Metroid, the Sa-X in Fusion, hearing the footsteeps was terrifying.

I find the human broodmother from DAO Awakening is even more creepier...
Yeah I mean sure it's an action game but the whole premise is litteraly cosmic horror with a few old school monsters sprinkled on top.
The Dopefish.
You cannot kill it. You cannot outrun it. You cannot dodge it. It will rush at you and eat something. Your only hope is to surround yourself with enough sacrificial fish that the something it eats is not you.
The well of wishes awaits in the crypt of decay.
The space angler fish from outer wilds. Seriously, fuck dark bramble with these guys chasing you.
Quiet now, quiet now, easy does IT , nearly there
*bump*
OH JESUS OH NO.
For some reason Snacker in Banjo always terrified me.
Rare designs during the N64 were a weird mix of cute and creepy.
Mad Jack from DK64
Weldar from Banjo Tooie
YuuuupThe space angler fish from outer wilds. Seriously, fuck dark bramble with these guys chasing you.
No, since Bloodborne is a horror game, and OP asked for non horror games.
Doesn't help that they're immune to everything but your pea shooter weapon.
Reaper Leviathans in Subnautica
Well, looks like I'm never playing Subnautica.
best answer. I'm serious too!
Is this a stealth humblebrag? lol.The invisible water monster in Amnesia. It was so hard getting through this part on my first playthrough.
I'm pretty sure the reason why I have mild hydropohbia is cause of 3d platformers scaring the shit outta me when I'm in the water.
Mario 64 eels
ratchet and clank fish that eat you if you are in the water for too long.
Same with jak and daxter.
banjo having clanker and the shark in the beach level.
it's also why I absolutely lose my shit when I'm being chased by enemies in games.
Gear's berzerker or the tank in l4D make me scream my ass off.
For shame that no one mentioned X-Com yet.
Nothing instills fear like the notice you get of a Chrysalid Mission. For those few moments, the game changes from being a tactical srpg to survival horror.
That mission in the fishing village was the most stressful mission in the game.
that slurping sound is haunting.
Corpse Creeper from Hollow Knight
Probably turrets
Yup, I had actual nightmares as a kid from this. Carnage and Venom were creepy enough and then the game hits you with this.
