Favorite cannon fodder enemies

[The Steel Ninja]

Lizardmen. Because not only are they ridiculous looking, they are often some of the most pathetic enemies in the game, and they're fun to beat up. Oh, and they never seem to learn, probably thanks to their incredibly minimal intelligence. I can almost imagine them going, "OH FUCK WE'RE THE GENERIC LOW-LEVEL BAD GUY SET AGAIN? WE NEED NEW AGENTS"

Can't think of any lizardmen from any game, but I personally love killing the grunts from Halo, especially with "Grunt Birthday Party" skull turned on.

 

[GyroCaptain]

Gears of War: WretchesHeeeeeeall no.
The Dead Rising zombies?

Shit, you're right, I was forgetting.

 

[The Steel Ninja]

Soul Calibur + half the RPGs in existence

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

I too enjoy slaughtering the Grunts

 

[Trace2010]

Goombas...


Lots and lots of Goombas!!

 

[DiZomniac]

Goblins in any RPG ever made.

Also, zombies. Endless zombies.

 

[MBurner 93]

Grunts in Halo. I just love killing the little fuggers with Grunt Birthday Party and the IWHBYD skull.

 

[A.A.K]

those things you jump on, the moving turd with teeth in the original mario games.... aww ye...lol
and also the unholy priest templar things from Painkiller that charge at you with a halberd.

 

[42manZ]

Innocent bystanders in GTA.

 

[Avatar Roku]

Goombas...


Lots and lots of Goombas!!

Yep, gotta go with the classics.

I always feel sorry about killing the Grunts. I prefer the Jackals, they're always fun to kill.

 

[fluffymcnuter54]

the good people of megaton (not with bomb either, killing spree)

 

[Crash486]

I wonder if I'm the only person who doesn't like killing endless waves of "grunt" characters. I actually enjoyed Shadow of the Colossus immensly if for no other reason than the fact(and there were actually plenty of other reasons) there are no grunts to deal with. You simply ride from one boss fight to the next.

Grunt mobs serve for nothing more than to slow down the pacing of a game and act as filler for in between bossfights. Haven't you ever been playing a game and thought to yourself "ah man, now I have to kill all of these things too?" I know I have.

Zelda, Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Theres a crap load of them in Lineage 2 aswell!

My favourites are the polygon team in Smash Brothers.

 

[Sergeant M. Fudgey]

Civil Protection. Even though I'm Combine all the way; that flat-lining is to die for or rather, to have them die for.

 

[Arcyde]

Grunts

 

[Hakushi]

I always like to bash kobolds

 

[the_tramp]

Zombieman/Shotgun guy/Chaingunner from DooM games + Rocket Launcher.

 

[Pumpkin_Eater]

Left 4 Dead zombies. You can mow them down by the dozens and they splatter blood all over the screen if you get up close before blowing their heads off.
