These assholes from RE4. Pretty easy to deal with once you know how but the sounds they make and the way they move is just unsettling as all hell.



Honorable mention for these dudes as well because I think everyone has watched some kind of iteration of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and thought to themselves at some point 'these people are loving useless, I could totally take that guy. Look at how dumb he is!' but when this rear end in a top hat comes running at you with a chainsaw you promptly poo poo yourself and die in the most brutal of ways.

RE4 was so great for its time, I remember the first time I saw somebody playing it on gamecube and I was like "What loving game is THAT?" :stonk:

To me though when it comes to ridiculous sickass monsters in RE4, these guys were the most memorable:

You guys certainly came close, what with the Resident Evil and the LISA. What you didn't do was put them together, when you get Lisa Trevor.



That's right, she is wearing a mask out of human faces! Why? Well (spoiler for really old game at this point, but meh) when her dad finished the mansion, good ol' Umbrella thought 'hey, we have some test subjects right here, let's see what happens if we give viruses to the daughter?!', as evil scientists are wont to do. So, every time they come up with a new virus, into Lisa it goes! T-virus, G-virus (synthesised from her), Nemesis, you name it, they tried it out on her. So, completely hopelessly insane, she wanders around the estate, occasionally turning up to scare the poo poo out of you with her moans, the clinking of chains the only warning before she turns up. Oh, and she's invincible. Sorry.

Don't forget his ability to insta-perma kill your party members by biting their heads off. Or this happy fellow, who you find sitting alone in the desert surrounded by piles of meat.

The sort of rusty squeal they make when they finally die was always music to my ears.

The image doesn't really capture the full creepiness of this motherfucker unless it's accompanied by the music that plays and sound effects that he makes during the fight, and the abruptness of his appearance. He's seriously a creepy goddamn dude. I blinded him and set him on fire and kept him that way until he finally died.

Yeah, for all the boss monsters, it is your regular head popping Las Plagas that are really cool for how they disrupt the normal gameplay. For the most part you are just plugging normal looking dudes in the head, then boom, giant tentacle thing run RUN!

Then you get the ones where the parasite pops off and chases you. Fun times.

Contra was my first thought:

Also, the final boss of the first game being a giant heart was so loving wacked-out and creepy as a kid. The actual fight is pretty easy, but goddamn. They way it palpitates faster and faster as you do more damage to it is also pretty sick in both senses of the word.

Legion was my second thought. I finally played SotN a decade or so after it came out and seeing that still made me say "Holy poo poo that's hosed up and awesome."

drat. The way when their head popped and that centipede came out, instead of the slow lumbering, their pace quickens and the make a beeline straight for you while that thing wiggles all over the place. Gave me the shivers the first time I saw that.

I had heard that Gynoug had some gross stuff like that but I never checked it out. Gonna have to fix that. Shooter games with that body horror type stuff has always been interesting to me. There's another game that recently was Greenlit on Steam called Super Cyborg with the same aesthetics.

The pursuer in dark souls 2 is pretty good but not because of what he looks like, he's just a floating dude in armor.



But I like him because he shows up three times I think in a regular playthrough, and every time he does he wrecks your poo poo. He's just a regular tanky dude with a sword but he moves surprisingly fast and has some moves that will just wreck you in one shot if you're not careful. The first time he shows up he completely outclasses you and basically wipes the floor with you, he's the first "boss" in a sense except he doesn't actually have a boss door, he just happens as you're going through the first area. Then he never shows up again until later in that area where he's a regular (still tough) boss.

Then the third time he just teleports into an area you already cleared, and proceeds to kick seven kinds of poo poo out of you once again when you're not expecting it.

Not the most inventive boss, but some of the best boss placement in any game I've played recently.

Edit: Also his preferred mode of transport is being airdropped in by a giant eagle which is pretty metal.

Yeah, the first time you see the Pursuer, you just climb up onto a large raised platform that some dick fire bomb thrower is on, and off in the distance you see a giant bird carrying something, no cutscene or anything, you might even miss it trying to get the fire bomb guy. Then he floats on over and slashes you with his giant sword. If you run off the platform like a coward, I think he just kind of makes a portal in the ground and descends, and then you have to wait until the actual boss fight. And each fight takes place in increasingly cramped quarters.

Yeah, lots of shooters use that aesthetic, especially great when they save it up for the end so things go from spaceships and lasers to blood n guts near the end.

While it's not a fightable enemy, props to Fetus of God in Darkstalkers:
