Also this motherfucker:

Good grief that game had some nightmare fuel

They made an even worse one in Super Mario Odyssey.

Somebody on the various Mario dev teams must be terrified of eels and wants to share his phobia with the rest of us.

Have to agree with the Eel from Mario 64, it was also very unexpected for the title.

Also the Zombies in Zelda OoT had me as a kid. They seemed okay from a distance but when they daze you with their stare, than latch onto you as seen below was bloody terrifying.

Damn right, from their blood-curdling screams to the way they froze you in place as they slowly advanced, the Redeads were scary as hell to me as a kid too. Although being school kids we soon turned their latching onto link and biting him animation into a "lol he's bonking link" joke which made them somewhat more a subject of raucous preteen laughter.

These enemies in Yoshi's Crafted World

Quite a few from the Tomb Raider series, including:

TR2 - the Mummies / Atlanteans are fast, unpredictable and made freaky noises. Then of course the big fella in the last level

TR2 - the big spiders drop down / appear from the dark without warning. Can't forget the dragon either.

TR3 - the dogs always seemed to appear in tight areas, again without warning. And Willard is a bit of an abomination.


Also, not an enemy per se, but that voice that used to say 'get out' in Donkey Kong 64 in that ice cavern level was pretty unnerving.

Half the ennemies in Earthbound could apply, but Gygas during the final battle (including the path to him) and the tent in Treep coming to unlife take the cake.

Certain machines, but mostly Terminators. The whole endoskeleton theme gives me Goosebumps.

Would you recommend Terminator Resistance? I've been looking for a good Terminator game since T3 for the PS2 xD

Back on topic...

SA-X from Metroid Fusion

This motherfucker from Twilight Princess

Calcabrina, from FF IV:

Most definitely. It's probably the best Terminator game I've played in a very, very long time. It feels like a fan letter to Terminator fans and contains refs from the first 2 movies (like seeing a human model of Robert Patrick in t he game, aka the T-1000 actor). It plays like an FPS, but has an RPG style tech tree and crafting for weapons/gear. Very atmospheric scenes too (like the eerie fog in night time zones).

They even recreated the underground bunker from the first movie, right down to the two guards and guard dogs at the entrance door (and the dune buggy too, as well as the TV for a fireplace).

This game is what Fallout 4 should have been.

Metroid Fusion might as well be a survival horror game thanks to SA-X. >.<

From the beginning up to a certain point it really seems like one... in the sense that you are absolutely powerless against it/her and the only thing you can do is escape and survive until your next encounter xD
