Create your own video game enemy.

[Vrex360]

Okay, this is a wierd one and I'll grant that the title was pretty vague so.....
There are a lot of video game enemies out there but I'm not talking about enemies that EXIST. Rather enemies that do NOT exist but that you wish did because it would make the game that much more fun. That much cooler, you know?
I'll give an example here, I was a fan of the movie Pitch Black and therefore there is nothing I'd like more than to see a Riddick game where those flying alien monsters show up. They could double as ground and sky enemies that you can strtegically force to the ground and use light to kill them. It would be sweet.

I have other examples that are a little more inventive but for now that's an example. I might come up with something better later.

So how about you, if you could make an enemy you'd really like to encounter in a video game what would it look like and how would the player go about killing it? this can be for any genre that has enemies, shooters, hack n' slashes, RTS's, RPG's anything like that.

Is that an existing game enemy, because that doesn't count. This is a thread about making your own game enemy. I should probably fix the title.

Hmm, some really scary worm type thing. I don't mean sand worms from the FF's, I mean really scary tunnel monsters that can open up the ground and try to eat you if you don't get out the way quickly enough. I'd like to see a game with one of these.

Forests where the vegetation itself tries to eat you. Have a game where you can go anywhere, but go too far off the path and the monsters get worse and worse as the forest thickens and sooner or later you're either going to be dead or running as fast as possible in the opposite direction of the deep woods! Killer trees would be fun. Grass that swallows you is another. I've always liked the idea of poison ivy that actively tries to kill you (yes I am a glutton for punishment in games. I'm the guy who, when fighting six supermutants on very hard and given a choice of a minigun, hunting rifle and assault rifle, and a pistol, goes with the baseball bat.)

Besides killer forests... cannibals with power armour in fallout 3, grunts struggling to use elite-sized jet-packs (for fun), some kind of rain monster emulates rain but is in fact a very small monster that will eat you slowly... I'd be a real bastard if I was a game designer wouldn't I?

edit: noticed my spelling mistake on "vegetation"

Good chance those will be in Dante's Inferno. The book features humans turned into bushes and trees. And since every human punished in one of the rings of hell (in the book) has been converted into a more, well, aggresive form, in the game so far..

Ah, ah, ok. I get it now.
I'm not so sure what to post now...

some kind of magician that uses magic created by harming himself (whipping and cutting himself) his health deteriates as he uses magic but is almost impossible to actually hit as he can summon defences like a giant hand made of blood by slitting his wrist, you have to deliver the finishing blow yourself but it's all about triking him and getting behind his defenses.

I could definitely see that being done in a Silent Hill game.

Like the things that came out of the ground and attacked you when you were in your rover in Mass Effect?

My ideal videogame monster is a series of spiders that get progressively more difficult to defeat, and you can tell how powerful they are by their colour.

I would make a 4 dimentional beast that is extremely hard to kill without a decent strategy and use of in-game resources. You would have goggles which see in the fourth dimension but you can't see the monster in the third dimension. The only way to beat it would be to figure out how it manifests in the third and the fourth dimension and make a connection whit it's behaviour.

God wouldn't that be a hideous enemy. I presume for a survival horror and that it attacks you with loud obnoxious statements.

A handsome hero with visions of Manifest Destiny on his mind and the approval of the masses and maybe even the blessings of a god in his favor may be one of the worst enemies you can face. Even if you can defeat him, everyone from his land will hate you for defending yourself and your land, spurring them into seeking revenge on you and everyone you know for as long as it takes to vanquish your nation and culture and demonize your memory.

Play GoW2. It has the BEST LEVEL EVER. you are eaten by a fucking HUGE worm and you get to go through its digestive system, and I have no idea how this works, but the GoW devs are certainly not doctors. you go out the intestines and find its heart. Also, it has, like, three hearts. But you have a chainsaw. I wonder how you kill it?

PLAY GOW2. THAT LEVEL FUCKING ROCKS.


On Topic: id make ZP a Videogame boss. it would be awesome.
