Most evil enemies in a game?

[Grim Monk]

Not sure if qualifying, but...

"Is this the Payne residence?"

 

[Dwemer Puzzle Box]

These fucking things:

Also, not necessarily an enemy, but the main character in Mask of the Betrayer can do some ridiculously evil shit:

Spoiler

consume humanoids, betray and consume your companions to get their essence, skin alive a werewolf, torture, burn and consume spirits of the forest, send young barbarians, lost family and a teenage girl to be eaten by mountain cannibals, consume Myrkul (!), murder whole family of half-celestials.

 

[SmartCheetah]

Maybe not faced uber-directly, but yeah. Allied Mastercomputer was a freaking scary and evil thing. It murdered whole mankind except 5 people, just to make them suffer.

 

[octavius]

Anything that drains levels or stats permanently. There is no viler crime than that.

[Alex]

Well, I think Might and Magic 2 had some encounters with the most evil enemies.

 

[Zed]

 

[Gakkone]

Fucking wolves in Gothic III.

 

[wwsd]

Mike Newell. In one of my Football Manager games, in which I had made Tottenham perennial title contenders, he eventually became manager of Chelsea, and they constantly won the title and kicked my arse.

 

[Delterius]

You missed one Zed

 

[kaizoku]

No shit.


I remember the first time I met that bastard, he stormed like an angry bull and I end up dead before I could blink.

However, there is another character that surpasses it. It still gives me creeps these days.

As for 'annoying' evil, anything in any game that stunlocks you until death when you make even the slightest mistake. I hate those fuckers.

The "lion" colossus in Shadow of the Colossus likes to do that if you fall into the sand area in front of his cave, and you probably will at least once since you have to fool him into falling there first and quickly follow him to jump on his back. He also scares away your horse so can't grab onto it to escape, instead you have to watch him pummel your flailing body for five minutes.

On that note, this fucker as well

Spoiler

His electric bolts are so fast and make such a huge splash that you can't dodge them on foot. So you have to keep riding the horse at all times, while you keep the turtle on sight and try to coax the thing into moving on top of one of the geysers, so the jet will hit its underside and raise one side of its body, so you can shoot an arrow at the bottom of its feet...that is, unless you got too far while dodging the bolts, which means it'll return to normal position and probably move away from the geyser.

Bah, more Tzimisce in video games and this topic would be pretty much pointless thanks to their (most beautiful!) sickfuckery:

[Trojan_generic]

The black wolverine-looking monster in Arx Fatalis.

Plot spoiler:

Spoiler

The fact that you could not kill him by "normal" means was a really evil thing to do.

 

[Declinator]

 

[Kouvo]

Spoiler

 

[Lyric Suite]

Liches in Daggerfall appearing in low level dungeons because the randomization was fuck. Just, fuck you, game.

 

[Infinitron]

The asshole who shows up whenever this music starts playing:

Spoiler

(I felt kind of bad when I realized that he had actually been torching the bad guys before you killed him)

 

[Commissar Draco]

Doesn't matter cause you and your party were bad guys in Blackguards.

you can get siding with Khorne while being a sorcerer; Azariah Kyras I name you a Traitor.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

The missions with no forest giants available

Hope you like restarting them missions bro as we will kill 3/4 of your best troop with that one shot that will hit exactly in the goddamn middle of their formation.

 

[deuxhero]

Eric Sparrow


He doesn't kill anyone, he doesn't kidnap your girlfriend, he doesn't threaten to destory the world, he's just an asshole who steals credit for your accomplishments and leaves you to take the blame for his stupidity. Him getting punched in the face on NG+ is satisfying.

Related: the mayor from Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. He's just an obnoxious prick who belittles his saviors on a regular basis.
