The scariest enemy ever? Wolves from Penumbra: Overture. In most games, even the most terrifying enemy is just another bullet receptacle. In Penumbra, you can't do shit, and that was a truly scary feeling.
I cheated and turned up the contrast, then I proceeded to beat one to death with a barrel, but yea they are kind of creepy

The poison headcrabs from Half Life 2. I remember playing in one area of Ravenholm, I was up on top of a building, I saw a poison zombie down below, and before I could react, he threw one of those little bastards at me. Landing right in front of me. I found myself pausing the game and screaming in terror.

Looking back though, those things could be killed with a single swing from the crowbar. And yet back than, I wasted shotgun shells and grenades just so I wouldn't have to deal with them face to face. They were that terrifying.

Back when I was little, I also got freaked out by the Wolfos in the N64 Zelda games. Something about a wolf suddenly popping out of the ground howling didn't sit well for me back than for some reason.

I don't mean "scariest looking" or "jumped from a vent". I mean "eitherfightthisorsetselfonfire-fuckitwhere'sthegasoline". Enemies that make you sit on the edge of your seat because you don't want to encounter it.

Mine is the poison headcrab from Halflife 2. The prospect of losing nearly all of my health from one bite made me turn my speakers all the way up so I could hear the evil hissing.
The Regenerators from Resident Evil 4. One of my friends never got past them. Also, Bad Girl from No More Heroes. She kicked my ass so many times, I ultimately had to pull out the iTunes and the beer and settle in for about 2 hours. She had an instant kill and a few other moves that if you didn't react perfectly, you were very quickly doomed.

I'm not a big fan of swimming in open water, so "Thunder Ripple", the 7th Colossus, always terrified me.

Just to be different, I'm going to say The Dahaka from Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.

This badass dude will come crashing through a wall at any time and start hunting you down. The closer he gets the more the color gets washed out. If he gets close enough he will fucking absorb you. To get away you need to do death defying jumps across pits and running on walls etc.
YES! Oh my god, I live in fear of the Dahaka whenever I play Warrior Within. it's not just the running and death-defying acrobatics you need to do. it's that you do them WHILE he destroys the fucking area as he chases you, he can teleport, and if you don't do each consecutive move first time, you WILL die.

and he never stops, never rests. he will not stop hunting you, until you are DEAD!

Hehe yeah, but there is one good thing about him! His personal soundtrack is I Stand Alone instrumental version, :)
And some other instrumental songs from Godsmack.

Also: Nightkin in Fallout New Vegas. particularly the ones in the basement of the missile launch place (forgot the name).

You can barely see them, but you hear their footsteps constantly. Not to mention all the times you turn round and BOOM! Uncloaked one with a massive hammer!

Plus I was a Sniper! My only way of combatting them was to run backwards, but that inevitably led me into corners (where I was destroyed by the one chasing me) or into other cloaked ones.

Every boss from Demon's Souls.
This game is confusing. I want to play it all the time, but when I finally fight my way to a boss fight, I'm literally shivering with anticipation and fear of having to go back to the start of the level.

Fucking Voldo! Scariest game character ever. Once had a dream that he did that he just stood there and Michael Jackson moonwalked all night long....

Honorable Mention: Those exploding babies from Dead Space 2. I know they're easy to kill, but them coupled with the creepy nursery music scared me shitless.

Sitting there for an hour crying 'go away' at the darkness.
