Cazador were only annoying 'cause there was a nest of them directly north of the starting town in New Vegas.
Later in the game they're cake.

Oh please, only half of those are annoying.
How about any of the anti-combo enemies from DMC3? The Bloodgoyles, The Fallen, or those misty purple motherfuckers.
The Birds from Ninja Gaiden.
Red Arremer from the Ghost n Goblins series.

Right? Everyone is Goodsprings says don't go north, if you go north there are a bunch of warning signs and road signs saying 'GIANT FUCKING BUGS!'Ravinoff said:
And like everyone I thought I was too big for my shoes, tried to shoot them at range, and was turned to mince instantly. And then I went South.
I mean for fucks sake, even Yahtzee talks about dying to giant killer flies in his ZP video.
Fallout 4's suicidal super mutants. When I hear that beep beep beep, I always freak out if my critical meter is full or not, then despair when a headshot only takes off a sliver.
Hell even in early game they're not that bad. Just VATS their wings or use some dynamite... and if you have the Ultimate Edition you get a god-damn Grenade Launcher right from the start. Easy pickings.Silentpony said:
Now Legion/NCR assassins. THOSE guys are a pain in the arse. Frequent spawns, follow you even when you're stealthed, high damage outputs, scale with your level so they get super resilient... waaaay more annoying than Cazadores. Plus because of how they spawn if you fast-travel too much you can have 3+ squads hunting you down.
Maybe he's successfully bleached them from his mind - lord knows I've certainly tried to.Aetrion said:

Those guys are assholes, but you know what really gets me in FO4? Baby Mirelurks.008Zulu said:
Those irritating little bastards are just going to nip at your heels like some stupid crab based version of a chihuahua, being impossible to hit with gunfire outside of VATS and not really worth wasting ammo on, so you end up whirling round in a circle flailing wildly with your melee weapon until the suicidally stupid little fuckers are all dead.
They're shit, they're not a threat or a challenge, they are literally just there as an annoyance. Fuckin dumbass crab woodlouse things. Hate 'em.
Eh, most of those are just a certain type of challenge. Annoying to me is something that either takes too long, comes too often or has to be defeated in tedious way. You know, something that makes the general experience worse, like those bloody ghosts in Metroid Prime.
I'm also going to mention Cliffracers. Bloody things often come out of nowhere and start pecking at my head.
In fact the only on this list I'd consider genuinely annoying is Zubat. The rest are either from games I haven't played, didn't get far enough to encounter (wheel skeleton), or found more of a challenge than an annoyance. I mean from the brief time I played WoW, I found the Murlocs only showed up in specific areas so they were easy to avoid and were quite easy to kill.

Ninja Gaiden for Xbox had the Ghost Fish. Those things swarmed at you and latched onto you and drained your life slowly, but if you get enough of them on you they drain your life alarmingly quickly. They weren't a big deal as long as you had a fast weapon, but they could get out of hand very easily. Also you had to button mash to get them off. That's annoying in and of itself.
I knew the Medusa heads would be on this list, and I was not disappointed.
Here's an annoying video game enemy: the Boos from the old side-scrolling Super Mario games. I couldn't kill them with jumping on their heads or fireballs, but when I was able to punch them to death in Mario 64, it felt Soooooooo good.

Or you could use a divine weapon.
But, this reminded me, now that Dark Souls is done, we never will get that Giant Bonewheel Boss. :'(
