Iconic Common Game Enemies

[ZeroDotZero]

We've seen lots of of iconic enemies in Games, whether they be bosses, like Dr. Robotnik or big bruisers like Big Daddies provided to give a challenge.

However, what's the most iconic pushover enemy you've ever faced. The stuff that litters the levels of platformers, or the goons who run into a stream of bullets in FPSes.

For me, it's Space Invaders, I mean, who doesn't know the Space Invaders?

Edit: Some people seem to have missed the point, these aren't cliche enemies, I mean iconic common in-game enemies, like Splicers in Bioshock, or Badniks in Sonic.

Goombas. With their angry little faces and squishy bodies that just asks to be flattened...

Mine is the Nazis and Zombies and whatever gamers rag on about these days.

The Jawas in Super Star Wars for the SNES that flew horizontally off the screen with a "who-tee-dee" after just one blast.

The Hard Hats from Mega Man.

All of the normal soldiers who didn't even look alien and fired single shots at you in the early levels of the Contra games.

The bugs in the original Metroid.

The Octorocks in Zelda.

Mettaurs.
...
Not only do they have invulnerable helmets, they prove Wiley is too stupid to use that invulnerable substance on anything else.

The teacher, guide, life long best friend that trains you, brings you up, fights along side and then betrays you.

So mine would be the double-crosser, usually a finnal boss.
