I haven't made a thread in a long time, but I often have ideas for them that would work here on the escapist. Most of the time I either forget about them or realise they aren't as interesting as I originally thought. But I like this idea so here it is.

What is the best first enemy that appears in any video game you've played?
As in the very first one you have to fight or confront?

Try to add pictures if you can. To give a sense of how cool the enemy is.
And to avoid spoilers, please don't mention any boss fights that would spoil the story if it takes place in a sequel where said boss appeared in the previous game, or at least spoiler tag it.

I guess I would go for the first two-headed monsters from Hexen. They look as badass as most bosses do in a lot of modern games, I'm sure if they were rendered in modern day graphics, they could be pretty terrifying too. And they are the basic enemy throughout the whole game, and never do the ever seem to get any easier to kill.

Definitely the Dark Souls Asylum Demon.


This game lets you know what you are in for right from the start. You aren't even armed when this bad boy turns up!

Butch from Fallout 3.


I love giving bullies what-for. I also like that you can help him by saving his mom and even team up later in the game. Forgiveness and bygones...

The first think I thought of was the first nobody from Kingdom Hearts 2

Having to fight Dante as a first enemy in Devil May Cry 4 was pretty cool.

Ahhh, good old butch!

However, when i returned to the vault there was a terrible misshap involving a Shotgun, and some of his body parts may have detatched. A Little.

Now, The turranic raiders. Can never forget them as my proper first bad-guy.

Not sure why, but I like the Yukata and straw hat wearing zombies from Devil Summoner.

I loved this fight! It was an awesome intro to the battle system, and the characters! When reading your question this is what came to mind:

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance! Started off with a Snowball fight at the main characters school before he was sucked into Ivalice through a book! It was great!
