Whats the creepiest monster in a video game?

[escalade]

My vote would have to go to the Flood Carrier from the Halo Games. They just look creepy with thier fat heads and the way they slowly chase you.

We've had a similar thread before, and my answer is still this guy:

Evans, the tentacle-raping penis demon from the end of Breath of Fire 2.

Evans when he is a Jesus look a like, DethEvn when he turns into that thing.

As for creepy monster, I go with Pyramid Head. He had sex with mannequins for god sake

Sorry, but he is really the creepiest boss/monster I've yet to encounter in any game. Wolfenstein 3d still gives me nightmares :\

[Slainchild]

Probably those really fast zombie spider headcrabs from Half Life 2. :s

[escalade]

also, one of the monsters that
used kept me up at night was the Cacodemon from Doom

[Slainchild]

Actually maybe the houdini splicers from Bioshock, with you not knowing where they will re-appear.

Best game ever.

:edit: Except for the sequel...

[Kantham]

I'm not quite sure. But the huge alien mother in Turok 2 (I think) with the long whip-fingers was something to be afraid of back then.

Other than that, the brown tentacle creatures (Yeah I know you like Bob) with the eye out of water in Star Wars: Shadow of the empire. They freaked me out really bad. Made me not want to go underneath until they were all dead. And if went there with one still alive, I flipped out.

I was 8 or so during all this.
Recently? The pianist in Limbo of the lost ending. Seriously. What. The. ****.

[Touki]

I agree with theabyss, the hybrids in ss2 where creepy, they could sneek up on you or you'd only hear them search, going "we hear you, ruuun" etc.

[Trynant]

I think Pyramid head deserves an honorable mention at the very least.

Be afraid. Be, seriously afraid.

[NeoNite]

Those aliens from avp were kinda creepy. The first couple of times they'd come running at you at high speeds through those silent, long corridors....
I loved it!

The trites from doom3. Man, what annoying bastards they are.

(the cyberdemon looks silly, btw)

The Darkness. Its appearance, behaviour, voice (superb voice acting btw) and generally just the way it uses its host body makes it probably the most creepy creature I've seen in a video game.

[BobTheBeheader]

http://www.xcomufo.com/usopaedia/pics/big/shot0072.png

Probably this bastard from X-Com: Terror from the Deep (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-COM:_Terror_from_the_Deep)

****ing scary as hell when they start taking over your troops minds. That entire game is just too damn creepy.

[Sirius]

The Cherub from Doom3:

I also thought the cloned supersoldiers were kinda creepy when their telepathic link were cut off and they just stood there like puppets without a puppeteer.

[Twisted Metal]

This obscure PSX game called PO'ed featured walking asses that would shoot meatballs at you.

Although in this picture it looks like there's a penis in the butt-hole. :con:

Goatse monster?

[Agent_5]

Most of the guys from quake (http://www.denken.com/dzone/q1article005.htm) - the zombies, scrags, ogres, shamblers, fiends... just about everybody except the enforcers and rottweilers. The enemies from SS2 were freaky also and I hated it how they talked which made it even worse. Octobrains from dn3d - the sounds they made just made it worse. I guess being 8-12 when I played most of these games didn't help either. I was a sissy now and I guess I still kinda am today, though none of the recent games have made me scared like those games did - except for the beginning of the avp2 marine campaign, the antartica level in nolf2 and bits of doom3.

I hope you realize they completely redid it because of how not scary and creepy it was because of how ridiculously stupid and perverted it looks as if it's catering to 13 year old gamers. ;)

In fact that's pretty much porn your posting, because it's definitely not a scary monster. :lol:

Okay, actually you're right, that is creepy if you consider it from that point of view.

[Trynant]

Welcome to post #21

All I see from Al is a blank post...so what's going on there?

Anyways I feel like I want to rescind my previous statement. Pyramid head wasn't nearly as creepy as the town Silent Hill itself. And you'd be ****ting yourself if you think that town wasn't alive. And out to get you.

no matter what, whenever i play HL2 series, those guys ALWAYS give me the scares. Even though u know where they are, they still scare the **** outta ya.

[Zxanphorian]

Relative to my age at the time, the Skaarj hybrids of the original Unreal Tournament. They always gave me the creeps in CTF-Orbital, especially the one with the bullet hole in the skull. :(

[Firefly]

the girl from F.E.A.R when you climb down the ladder especially. And the copter scene

[Vitamin-Carrot]

yeah i would have to agree ... alma from f.e.a.r ... played it with the lights off and the surround all the way up while my missus at the time was watching .... lol she such a sissy girl

[Mister_Prophet]

...You'd hear them. You wouldn't see them. Crawling, just out of your peripheral vision. In the shadows. Down there, in the basement. Boney legs crawling on metal. Your motion tracker was useless; you'd throw flares and maybe squirt some napalm in an erratic manner toward the white bleep. But more often than not, it would not be there. Then you'd hear it. The silence. It stopped moving. And before you knew what was going on...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v418/Mister_Prophet/avpfacehugger3.jpg

ARRHGHGHGHGHRHRHHHH!!!!!

AvP's, and to a lesser extent, AvP2's facehuggers. If you don't find them before its too late, game over man. Game over.

[NeoNite]

Yeah, those facehuggers in avp were quite the surprise. First time one got me I nearly jumped out of my chair. It was fantastic!

[Renegade Retard]

Dude in the circle. Scared the jeebus out of me...

On many, many seperate occasions I blew myself up with grenades in a blind panic to try to hit those crawling bastards. Actually, 95% of my time playing AvP was spent in blind panic, but the huggies were especially terrifying.

This game was seriously ****ing TWISTED in enemy designs. End of story. Dogs that stand on human hands, Impaled enemies attacking you... it's a seriously kickass RPG. Very dark and adult.

[Continuum]

The baby boss in Parasite eve was kind of a surprise, then when it changed, then changed again that was a bit of a surprise.

[unbecoming]

Doom3,Prey,and Painkiller had some pretty freaky creatures.U gotta play those thru at least once.(preferably secluded,dark,and quiet in those early morning hours)

Oh man, I know exactly what you mean. I'd have my pulse gun out, combing the ground and suddenly I'd see it scuttle by...and I'd totally freak and press the wrong firing mode, launching a grenade right into the ground not far from my nuts. I did this more times than I can count. But that's not as funny as one time when I was in a corner, waiting to see one of them move around somewhere, when suddenly my screen just went "FACE'D!" and I slide my wrist violently, punching one of my speakers off the desk.

I'm not someone who gets unnerved easily in video games. But I hate facehuggers.

yeh Painkiller the first level in the exp pack. the psychotic children in the asylum. they are seriously freaky

[Armagon917]

At the beginning of Out of This World where you have no idea whats going on and you're thrust into this alternate universe or dimension. One of the coolest games ever and in that context this thing creeped me out the most.
http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/1171/polygontm3.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
This was the thing you had to run from while jumping over the black slugs with deadly spikes and make it to a rope to swing around him while its chasing you. Haven't experienced that frantic fear since. Awesome game. While DOOM3 and other games offer visually more terrifying creatures I think that in this context this one wins. IMO

Hah, I think I did that too at one point actually. A friend of mine has a similar reaction to Doom 3's spider things, and I was like, "Yeah, you haven't played AvP have you."

I remember one time I'd read a recommendation that the flamethrower was the best way of dealing with facehuggers (riiiight...), and I ended up backpedalling and getting chased through half of the Vaults by the tiny mofo. I ended up getting ganged up on and eaten by five aliens, and I still didn't manage to hit the facehugger.

If you manage to set them on fire, they can't FACE you, actually. When I figured that out, the flamethrower was my best friend in Facehugger lairs. I don't know if that applied to AVP2 though.
