enemies in non-horror games that fucking scared you shitless

I would get scared when I'd collect all the hearts and their eyes opened.

For some reason the spiderbot enemies in Deus Ex made me uncomfortable. I think it's part their metallic crawling sounds and part how fast they were moving. Whenever I heard them crawling around, I'd often just go out of my way to find a different route to avoid them.

i never understood why people feared him so much?
he was "whatever" when i played it back then.
>b-but his noises and growling sounds he made while chasing you
i don't know, didn't faze me much

If you see it, it's already too late for you

>>716339124 (OP)
You already posted it. That fucking yeti was terrifying when I was a kid. I literally could not get myself to play that game.

>>716339124 (OP)

wampa stompa but also the assassin droids in Droidworks that you can't ever fight

>>716339124 (OP)
was it even possible to kill this thing? i tried blasting it so many times but it would never die

I dread dark bramble every time

>>716339124 (OP)

It's just THAT one part, not the enemy itself.

>>716341663

>>716341663
classic

>>716341663

Not a scary game or enemy in anyway but I was looting fishers shack in new vegas and the whole time a lakelurk was just standing in front of the door and it made me jump out of my fucking seat because I only noticed it when I was leaving

>>716341365
these niggas have AI bullshit that know where you can't see and will only move on tiles you don't have vision on, somehow
they shouldn't know but they do
they try to never end their turn in a tile you can see too so they won't attack unless they have the TU to run away and hide
they become retarded once you get sentinel armor though, they run away from you instead of attacking unless you stand right next to them, so they know they can run away
scary enemy though because of this they tend to just appear out of nowhere or you can find them just standing two tiles behind you, watching you

>>716339124 (OP)
for me it was the sewer monsters in the same game

>>716341849
it just had a shitton of health

>>716343791
It was his shack, bro.

>>716344308
That was terrifying but somehow I managed to get through it easier than the wampas

>>716344308
this guy was terrifying too, what the fuck was up with that game having so many unsettling things?
Same shit for the AT-ST

>>716341694
the toy store was very scary, weirdly great atmosphere

This motherfucker scared the hell out of me and still does

>>716341849
Absolutely atrocious health pool. Your best bet is luring them toward each other and letting them fight to the death while you grab whatever loot is behind the bars.

>>716340614
unrelated but I think the Venom boss fight from this game contributed to me being gay, that licking grab attack he does stirred things in my child brain

i was NOT having a good time against this shit when i was in 3rd grade. i still remember all this shit vividly years later. kek.

the last on foot level also had some robots or something that weirded me out also.

>>716344308
I hope Nightdive remasters this game and the Rogue Squadron series.

>>716345185
AT-ST being literally the first boss in the game really sold you on the idea that this game did not fuck around.

>>716345435

>>716345289
>just put a scary fish in the water to make those kids shit their pants, haha, that will teach them for swimming around the ocean without a care in the world

The sudden "music" from the beeping 486 PC speaker that would come on each time he appeared startled the hell out of me.

Running into this freak during a random encounter

This, from Zelda 2. I watched my dad play and leaping down a pit scared the SHIT out of me; it was a combination of the sudden loud sound and unexpected visual with a wounded-sprite Link, I thought it was some death scene. Weirdly got over it in like a month tops though because I wanted to play so much.

It is literally the easiest and shortest level in the game but as a dumb kid I refused to do this mission and always skipped it

as someone who has a phobia for dark or deep water...walking down to some huge, dark, murky, abandoned lake to fight a fucking giant water snake was NOT the kind of vibe i wanted.

>>716348264
the only unsettling one for me was this guy here

>>716345671
They did this but didn't bother teaching kids about things like rip currents.

boos, but really just in SMB3. i just got reminded of the CYOA books though.

>>716339124 (OP)
For those that played this game, describe the sound these things made.

>>716348746
nearly dying to a rip tide as a kid was pretty awesome, made me love swimming even more knowing "water can just randomly channel in a way that drags you screaming to the briny deeps"

>>716345671
Fuck it, I'm STILL scared of instakill vore fish in games.

>>716339879

I played modded and these things needed explosive attacks.

>>716339539
same, emulating it on my dreamcast

>>716347123
Yeah, this one was pretty unsettling for kid me too. Something about wide eyes and gaping maws with plenty of sharp teeth evoke some primal fear within me.

>>716348814

I'm completely serious, a goddamn Minecraft spider terrified me. Nothing else in that game phases me, just the damn spider. I already had a problem with spiders before playing it, but its those damn sounds they make that make it so much worse.

>>716348978
I had something similar happen to me is why I mention it. I still love swimming but it was a close call

trap was scary

>>716342038
I don't find dark bramble scary but I think the ocean world is strangely terrifying for some reason
I think the water levels in R&C1 and Jak 1 have given me a genuine fear of the ocean and I didn't really realize that until recently

>>716348507
I hear some people were pretty freaked out by the Cheep Cheep jumping over the course. I was always more unsettled by the course itself. Endless ocean, air is nothing but darkness, a lone and empty ruin, and of course the boardwalk itself, all in the middle of nowhere.

>>716339124 (OP)
The SA-X

>>716350417
if it wasn't for my dad I might have died, the last thing I saw before going under screaming was him running like a freight train to leap in after me, I think I loved swimming so much at that point my kid brain went "okay cool that was training to be able to survive it next time"

>>716339124 (OP)

>>716339124 (OP)
Everything scared me when I was a kid, thats why I stayed inside and played video games all day

I can't be the only one

>>716350968
idk about quake 2 i owned the game but never had a computer that could run it

>>716339124 (OP)
A different wampa, but holy fuck it gave 5 year old me nightmares. The fucker descends down on the screen and when he freezes you with his breath he will stop attacking for a moment just to laugh at you.

Get the fuck off of me oh god
>Kill everyone in the room, ruining my no kill run

these guys in Duke Nukem 3D

>>716351196
so thats ice breath? and not chin testicles.

>>716351296
Forgot pic

>>716346196
These were legit the scariest enemies in the 2d zeldas. Nothing was as scary as getting through a long ass dungeon almost about to open a boss door and find yourself getting snatched and put back to the beginning of the dungeon.

*dum dum* *dum dum*

>>716339124 (OP)
What game is that?

>>716345289
>>716345671
>>716346675
Allow me to contribute to this pattern of enemies with this fella.

>>716351573

>>716342038
>Losing control of your ship and getting swallowed by the sun
>Sand entrapment and entombment level
>Planet falling apart into a black hole that teleports you to its remnants in the pitch-blackness of space
>Giant's Deep and Dark Bramble as a whole
>Trying to land on the comet
>Quantum Moon mindfuckery
>The entirety of the DLC
You're telling me this isn't a horror game? The only part that wasn't legitimately scary was the starter fucking planet.

>>716339124 (OP)
>*chain rustling sounds in your path*

I had nightmares of this thing for years.

>>716354375
What did Master Yosho ever do to you.

>>716345185
>what the fuck was up with that game having so many unsettling things?
I think it was shit controls making everything feel very scary because you could barely control your character

I can’t find a pic but there was this really creepy thing in SOTN when you entered this room and I think sat down. And it would either be a good version and sit with you or it was a bad version that killed you with spikes. That thing always creeped me out as an adult and it has creepy music playing too

>>716351328
Oh yeah, they were really unsettling. And that weird noise they made. I hated this shit. Overall I have to say I thought dn3d was scarier to me than doom I think despite doom being more gloomy

>>716350325
based autistic anon, but for me it's the squid and it's erratic movement

>*rapes you*

No idea why.

>>716348542
look, he's smiling :)

Nothing frightens me.

>>716339124 (OP)
Juggernauts in GTA Online. They are introduced as dangerous enemies that need a team of high-level randoms that are wielding miniguns to beat.
Then you are alone in the dark with one of your weaker weapons because you need your flashlight to be able to see anything.

>>716341694
fucking spookaboos were freaky

>>716340942
I'm pretty sure leviathans from atlantis is what gave me a fear of open water.

>>716348746
>>716348978
One pulled me out too. I got insanely lucky the friend that got pulled out with me knew the strategy to zig-zag back.

>>716343791
lakelurks are pretty scary. I would play NV with a headshot mod that made most head injuries instantly fatal so I hated these fucking things because they could brain you with their stupid sound wave attack from miles away.
What the fuck are they even supposed to be? Mutated fishmen or something??

Lots of fishes here. For me, it's the HL1 Ichthyosaur.

>>716364803
https://youtu.be/bUphpZ5kpHA

spooked me until I realized it wont attack you

>>716344308
These things are the reason I never finished the game on N64. It took more than twenty years before I played it on an emulator, skipped this level and finished it.

>>716364613
I always assumed it was based on something like Swamp Monster (left) or Gill-Man (right) from old movies or legends.

>>716339124 (OP)
Not really an enemy but in one of the Shrek games for PC in a forest section there was a shadowy figure that would "look around" from behind a tree at me and disappear behind it after a couple seconds. After that happened 3 times I ALT F4'd and never played it again it creeped younger me out so bad
The sad part is I can't find any mention of this happening on other forums

The zombie bots from Metal Arms.

>hidden around the level as piles of scrap
>make a distinctive sound when they reform even if you can't see where they are
>sprint right at you
>melee attack that can push you around
>after you kill them the first time they sit still for a bit and then reform again
>come in groups so as you kill some of them you aren't sure if they'll reform or not

>>716345386
Nah your dad just molested you.

the voice lines

>>716341694
For me it was Reptar in the Rugrats in Paris game. I was scared of him screaming.

>>716339124 (OP)
I hated replaying episodes 2 and 3 because of these fuckers.

>>716339124 (OP)
>release him and his buddy and run back to the hangar
>ten minutes later he trundles out of the fog like the terminator after killing every stormtrooper he ccould get his hands on
The cave wampa scared me even more.

I don't have an image but I remember an educational game where you could be inside the human body and the arteries. I was scared shitless when you entered the heart. Something about the cavernous nothing just made me alt f4 so fast.

>>716367617
Thanks bro.
Made my heart skip a beat.

>>716339124 (OP)
I tried to make my parents play this part for me, and the part later on that desert planet with the one in the cave. Fucking nightmare fuel.

>>716361797
I came here to post this. That fucking yeti scared the shit out of my when I was a child

>>716341694
flashback wow

>>716345256
it was a liminal space

>>716366173
>Big eyed and huge garbage eater

Why did they think this was appropriate for kids

>>716367794
Context? That just looks rad as hell.

>>716368025
How did you even pass the robot boss fight? That shit was even worse.

>>716348902
AWOOOOOOGA OH BABY BIG MAAAAMAAAAA!!! YEAH!!!!

>>716351018
Walk in freezers were invented for a reason.

Toby Fox was cooking here

>>716341663
It's for you

Every enemy in any "die in one hit" game fucking terrified kid me.
>Demonic hellspawn in Doom? eh whatever
>Goofy cartoon aliens in Commander Keen? AIIIIEEEEE

>>716339124 (OP)
I was like 8 years old.
Dragon Warrior was my first RPG.
Not much the enemies, but the combination of the dark enemies and the music.

Imagine playing this game alone late at night at the basement game room.

>>716345549
holy fuck the sound of that thing stomping freaked me the fuck out.

>>716363607
the majoras mask eel fucked me up.

it extended right into the camera

>>716367870
>the very next level in the canyons
>they throw a sand wampa at you

>>716346675
stopped being scary once I realized you can kill him

I would only travel through Hyrule Field at night for years because of this fucking thing.

>>716339124 (OP)
Holy shit. This is an early memory that I haven't thought about in at least a decade. I remember this fucker chasing me and I got so scared I ended up crying and turning off the console. Ahaha, I think I'd rented it and I don't recall if I played it any further.

This fucking thing creeped me out as a kid, especially when you lose to it and it laughs.

>>716340614
>>716340849
>>716346920
Didn't scare me one bit, just pissed me off because I'd always lose

>Sneaks behind you
>Oneshots you
>Takes all the cash
>Can bearly walk from disfigurement
>While screaming this directly to your ear: youtu.be/VCmnfIaLlbc&t=1m52s

This cocksucker

When I was a kid, large death walls that came at you from the left side of the screen that insta killed you spooked me more than any monster, you just want to play the game and then there's this asshole. Kid Chameleon did the same shit.

came to post this its always sea shit for me. Clanker from Banjo as well

>>716350832
played this recently and the robots have insane reaction time. Unless you know where they are they can usually land a shot or two. Gave up on first map with those things, it just felt unfair

>>716351063
i had a lot of fun playing the Quake 2 remaster on switch with gyro aim

>>716339124 (OP)
Not an enemy, but fuck this place.

>>716367794

I won't lie, I went into Pikmin 4 completely blind so when I saw this it actually did make me shart and fart on sight.

>>716339124 (OP)
A lot of enemies from classic Tomb Raider but especially those weird zombies from TR3 and the yetis from TR2 Gold

>>716367505
An oddly specific projection. Do you have something to share, anon?

>>716367383
Plus after they start chasing you they always know where you are, so they are relentlessly after you until they're proper dead

>>716350325
Seriously? They're like, the weakest enemy in the game. And so passive and cute for half the day.
I think the Warden is a lot worse. Creepers too, since they literally attack through jumpscares

>>716339124 (OP)
pac man ghost'¨s

>>716339124 (OP)
the sand one was worse, not to mention the dionagas/boss in the sewer level
