The most heinously annoying enemies of all time

Also, I'd probably say the pyromancers and necromancers in Skyrim. Medusa heads in Castlvania = classically annoying.


For anyone wondering WTF a SKEEEE is, they're the Cliff Racers in Morrowind. I strongly suggest googling them, they're so bad it's mind boggling-ly hilarious to see them in action

Annoying enemies?
Kingdom Hearts: Those Healing Fuckers.

Ugh, Green Requiems are quite annoying, but not as annoying as the stupid Darkballs when they teleport all over the damn place. Also Kingdom Hearts Final Mix is worse because of these little bastards:

They are called Sniper Wilds and they were added into Final Mix. Basically if one sees you a million will show up and fire at you. You can kill them but you get no experience or items for it.
As for me I say Malboros from the Final Fantasy series. Seriously those evil little jerks cause so many negative status effects that you pretty much are screwed and get a game over because all of your party died.

Devlities from Spiral Knights

Spoiler: These gits

They leap halfway across the room if you so much as look at them too hard, attack fast enough that even if you start to block the moment you see them start to telegraph it they can still hit you most of the time and do Shadow Damage, which is probably the hardest damage to get resistance to, (relatively speaking.)

God help you if they have a Pit boss with them who forces them to work Overtime, whereupon they become extremely aggressive, even faster and can stun you on top of their usual debuffs.

Zubats and those stupid ghosts from final fantasy 7 you know, in the train yard, always hated those.

Kleer Ske-

Serious Sam: Those Skeletal fuckers.

...I think it's worth mentioning twice. Kleer Skeletons.

*cloppity cloppity cloppity*

It also ties in to the best weapon against them individually (and they do end up being spread out) is the slowest firing weapon in the game.

I've been stuck on Serious Sam many times, and most of those times, it has been down to those fuckers!

For me it's got to be the Flood in Halo...they're literally so annoying. Or possibly Egypt on Rome Total War, so overpowered. And most recently, Drow Ranger -_-

 

[Jimmy T. Malice]

I've recently returned to the Tomb of the Giants in Dark Souls for New Game Plus. I forgot how much I hate those Feral Skeletons. They deal heavy damage, they're unpredictable with their attacks and they often unleash a frenzy of attacks that'll either break your guard and kill you or (if you manage to roll away) knock you off a cliff because it's so dark.

 

[dimensional]

Almost any final boss from a fighting game does that count? if not the flood god I hated the flood no actually Ive got it it was definitely the ape lords on MTG (the old micropose one) there decks consisted of nothing but lightning bolts and mountains it seemed usually you had 10 life so first turn you lose three life second turn you lose 6 life next turn dont be surprised if you get zapped with 2 or 3 more of the buggers or a ball of lightning forgot that they had those as well.

 

[Wadders]

The fucking ape mutant things in Far Cry.

Trijens or Trojans or something? Whatever, they were infuriating. Tough as hell, fast and they made the most annoying growling sounds going. The ones with missile launchers on their hands were the worst, walking forward till they were right on top of you firing rockets at your face, grunting at you and refusing to die.

Maybe it's just because I was new to FPS games then, making them harder than they actually were. I just have memories of loosing my shit over them.

 

[lRookiel]

I'm sorry but no enemy is more annoying than the "Sticky fingered imp". This little bastard is from the Medievil games on the PS1. basically what happens is they run at you, steal the weapon you are currently holding then run and hide in a hole in the wall. You will never see your weapon again unless you buy it back at a ridiculous price, basically if you lose your sword to these fucking things you will most likely have to restart the level.

I loved Halo 3 to death but fuck these guys:

The sheer definition of "I won't fucking miss"

As for me I say Malboros from the Final Fantasy series. Seriously those evil little jerks cause so many negative status effects that you pretty much are screwed and get a game over because all of your party died.

I think you're forgetting someone...

Also, having just recently played Persona 4 Golden, I'll have to nominate all of the rare Hand monsters that give you a ton of Exp./Yen if you manage to kill them, but have ridiculously high defense to everything except Almighty Damage, love raising their Evasion rate so you don't land any attacks, and run away when they're low on health, get an extra attack, or if the battle has just run on a turn or two too long.

 

[AgentLampshade]

Seriously, these guys appear very rarely and when they do, they flee almost instantly. Add to that their through the roof defence meaning on the rare occasion you connect with one, it only ever does 1 point of damage.
The payoff is the very large amount of exp they give out.

 

[Aurora Firestorm]

Anything that heals. Just...no. Give it more HP; I don't care; just quit taking away my ability to plan the battle, dammit.

 

[Ledan]

Any enemy that is too fast to hit/blocks everything and enemies with flinch attacks that attack quickly.
Gothic 3 example: once a wolf or two attacked you, you were pretty much dead.

Trigens. I missed those in Far Cry 2, they were part of what made it awesome for me, gradually more difficult enemies, instead of the straight line difficulty curve of FC2. Here's hoping FC3 will be better on account of going back to the tropical island setting.

OT: The corpsers from Gears of War 3. Getting to wave 50 of Horde mode, and then 4 of these things spawn, no. Just no. And those damn kamikaze runners in Orcs must Die! 2.

 

[RedDeadFred]

Borderlands 2. EXP Loaders and Psycho Bombers.

Having one of those explode and kill you when it was the last enemy left is just infuriating.
