I’ve never had one. The creepiest would go to many characters. Here are a few examples

Gigyas, The metal Shark from Banjo Kazzoie, The Carnage and Doc Ock hybrid from Spider-Man (2000), Scarecrow from Arkham Series, Tails Doll from Sonic

And if these count

Ben Drowned and Sonic. EXE

The patriots in MGS2. That ending dialogue between Otacon and Snake creeped me out bad.

If it’s the remake yeah I can see that. Though in my case it started to become less scary so much as me just wanting him to fuck off and leave me alone already

Who is this? It looks like an evil latte art swirl

That being said the one the scares me even as an adult is the RE Village Baby.

Primal fear.

Outside of horror or survival genre games, the flying eel in Shadow of the Colossus was terrifying to fight at first.

Creepy? Zero/Zero-Two from Kirby. Giant floating eyes of darkness that bleed when you hit them in a game series that's otherwise sparkles and rainbows.

Scary? Jeff from Half-Life Alyx. A mutated abomination that will chase down any noises it hears in its vicinity and will instantly kill you if it catches you. Seeing as how the game is in VR, getting close to Jeff is downright terrifying.

watching an Earthbound let's play when I was a kid is probably what made me get so invested in JRPGs. It's just crazy knowing that no matter which one you pick up, no matter how cutesy or unassuming the cover and story may be, chances are, there's something horrific at the end.

There is a looney tunes Taz game for the Nintendo DS, where you have to use the touchscreen to spin a ball to make him move, one of the bosses in that game is a giant metal dog thing that chases you down while making these disgusting chomping sounds, then it runs into lava and becomes more and more disfigured and corrupt until it finally melts, but that actually still appears in my nightmares so many years later

It's a tie between Dead Hand from Ocarina of Time and The Mad Piano from Mario 64.

Dead Hand was creepy as hell, but you could beat it.

The Mad Piano was terrifying as this relentless, immortal beast that came completely out of nowhere.

P.T. I consider the entire game itself the villain. It’s the scariest I’ve ever been in a game.

Man when I figured out that on a weirdly subconscious level, unless your “in the know” some people literally can’t say La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo and casually say La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo without even realising they aren’t saying La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo at all, it really put into perspective how much power the La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo had in the later stages of the MGS series.

Spoilers for pretty much every main zelda game

​

>!Majora (from Majora's mask) is really fucking spooky. The more you think about what exactly it is the scarier it gets. !<

>!Like, every other main antagonist in the franchise has a pretty clean cut origin and motive. Ganon's an evil god reborn into the flesh of man, Zant is an extra demensional being from the twilight zone and Ghirahim is the servent and sword spirit to the evil god. Just to name a few.!<

>!But Majora? It's just a freaky, horribly possesed and terrifyingly powerful mask. It's only clear goal is "destroy literally everything" and despite it's horrific motives, the only personality traits it ever really shows is ones of a child. Doing funny dances, taunting people and once you finally get to the final area, the personification of Majora is just a lonely child sitting under a tree who seemingly views itself as the hero of the world and link as the villain.!<

>!Majora is just as much of an anigma as everything else in that game and I think it was the perfect antagonist for it.!<

The Darkness from Fable 3. Given that it's not a horror game and quite a lot of stuff in the series is played for laughs, it takes a very serious turn.

Sir Walter was a soldier who fought in past battles, advised the past and present Kings, led the Old Guard, trained the Prince/Princess to fight and risked execution to help them raise up a resistance against the tyrannical monarch. He did all of that while making jokes and seeing the lighter side of every situation. Upon meeting the Darkness in Aurora, this brave man is left a gibbering mess, temporarily blinded and terrified by what he witnessed in that cave.

It might not be a great game overall, but that part of the story hits very hard in my opinion.

stealthkoopa t1_j6jq40p wrote

honestly, the cacodemons from doom used to give me nightmares. The OG cacodemons with those big toothy grins. The ones from the newer doom games are much less intimidating

Probably not the best game for an 8 year old

Played it cuz it was free and it's one of like 2 games I've gotten near 100%, it's a complete blast on Infamous, and I've never bothered to get the walk away ending because the final driving mission is one of, if not my favorite mission in any game

It definitely helped that I was utterly infatuated with the story since I did the bosses in the best possible order for story imo on my first run (faith, jacob, john from start to end)

The necromorphs from dead space and the clickers from the last of us are up there especially when these fuckers sneak behind you and make you panic. The necromorphs are guilty of this more than the clickers though.

I've never played Earthbound, but this thing is nightmare fuel.

The soundtrack alone is beyond unsettling. Idk what it is about older games with more midi/lowfi music, but it's so much creepier than anything modern. I guess it just sounds more alien and distorted compared to recognizable instruments.

Plus the very concept of the guy, no physical form, and during the final phase he's the entire background with no foreground sprite like all other enemies, and it forms the outline of fetuses to symbolize how he's regressed mentally in his insanity.
