Alright, me and my friends got into a long discussion about games and the enemies we encounter in them.So we sat down and we each named our favourite foes and why we liked them. i chose the Flood. They're just so adaptable, and pretty scary.(try playing the level "The library" at 1 am on legendary) I also just appreciate how just one infection form can spell the end of an area and how they were able to push a species to a galactic scale apocalyptic suicide. So if you have a favourite enemy in a video game, tell me what it is and why you like 'em. Also, any video game adversary humour is welcome.

Metroids.

So tough only a missle launcher will harm them (at least in some of the games) and they can drain your health extremely fast, plus, all the evoluton forms are pretty cool.

Also one of the most annoying enemies ever.

Sindri

The Iron Maiden off Resident Evil 4. *Shudders*
I remember my first time fighting one of them, You could blow off his arms and he would just regrow them. If he got closed you were Fethed as he would do this mad attack similar to an actual Iron Maiden, he would lift you off the floor and impale you on his spikes. Scary stuff!

Virgil, from Devil May Cry 3. Although, he is a playible character in the deluxe edition...

I'll go retro and pick Bowser.

I see your Bowser and raise you Dr. Robotnik.

The flood scary? Go get me a bloodsucker jaw and we'll talk scary.

I'll counter your Robotnik with Dr. Wiley. On topic though my vote goes to Alma from F.E.A.R. Not so much because of her character design but you'd about soil yourself with the stuff she brought with her or what she would do.

Ill pull the obscure card and say Giygas from Earthbound from the sheer freaky atmospherics of the whole fight.
Anyone who's ever played Earthbound knows exactly what I'm talking about.

I am leaning towards Kefka.

Or maybe a Grue. . .

Double post

You sir, are a connoisseur. My hat is off to you.

I can't decide between Sephiroth and Eggplant Wizard.

The grunts from Half-Life and the clones from F.E.A.R.

Wow. Double post barrage XD.

Cops in GTA. Nothing quite as fun as blasting one of those guys at short range with a shotgun and seeing how far they fly.

I was also going to say bowser. In Mario 64 where you have to spin him round by the tail.

I'll say that white line that prevents you from scoring in PONG, now that's adaptability. No matter where I hit the white square, the other white line stops it, its like he's programmed to counter me or something.

My most favorite eh? Hmmm. The Butcher. Diablo, Baal, Mephisto, and my most favorite of all time! The Agency!

Fallout 1-2 Deathclaws, cause your about to gak yourself when you find out it has about twice the amount of action points as you, by seeing it run across almost a full screen to tear you a new one, in one turn.

Cool stuff guys.

The witch looking chick from FF8, Dr Robotnik.

And while not a total Enemy. Grey Fox from MGS1 was pretty badass.

Hunters in halo 1, cause even a grunt was harder to kill xD

The flood for one.

And Kraid. And prettymuch all of the other metroid bosses.

And the EDF from Red Faction: Guerilla

Dagoth Ur

My mind keeps going back to half life, but I can't pick a single best out of them...wavering between vortigaunts and headcrabs

My mind is stuck on Valve games. The Combines from Half-Life and GlaDos from Portal.

And all the enemies in Halo 1, for providing me with the much needed targets for my handgun.

What about Raam from the first gears of war...I broke a controller and a window in frustration trying to give him the smack down! Damn Kryll!

This series has been my favorite since I was 9 years of age. Maybe this is what helped me become who I am today, or watching silent hill since I was 4?
