Shivans FTW!

Grues. I guess that makes me a bit old, but they were really scary when I was a kid.

[Commander Zane]

That list has very little in it.
Quake's fiends and shamblers. Especially in the mission packs where you have packs of shamblers teleporting around you.

[MatthTheGeek]

I know one monster that is a few thousand helluvas more scarry than everything mentioned in that article.

It hides in a mysterious nebula in a Pegasus.

Mustn't forget the Chryssalid, either. The Grue is all well and good, but you never actually see it (though you do get eaten by it). The Cryssalid, however. Oh man... just knowing one of those might be around would instantly put me into a "Nuke it from orbit" frame of mind.

The water demon in Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

[Marcov]

Whatever it is, it will be a leggy sort of spider/arachnid. I've got a terrible arachnophobia for those things.

Pyramid Head in the article probably ranks as top 2. I've NEVER played that game, but the mere sight and description of it makes me already imagine it, and nothing is quite scarier than a monster whose face is unidentifiable.

Crysalids, as in X-Com's Crysalids, as in I dont care where you are on the ****ing map give it every burst round you have, just kill it, dead, now, I dont care that you have a rocket launcher and it is 4 squares away from you, DDDDIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.  They really should have included a flame thrower for those things, cook it inside that damned armoured shell.  They made the demo hell.

about the article I had to lol at the shivan picture.

also what about Duke Nuckem 3D's octobrains?

SKAARJ !

sure they are tough suckers to kill at times but tbh even in the first game they were only scary in that time when a corridor goes dark and you are locked in with one early on.  UT killed the scariness of the Skaarj and by the time Unreal 2 came around they were mass baddies even the big ones were at most minor boss prestige

[T-LoW]

The goddamn shark from Banjo & Kazooie! Always hated that bastard!

EDIT:

There is that sonofa*****!



Scared me to death when I fell into the water

[PsychoLandlord]

Chryssalids. Never had anything in a strategy game actually frighten me, except for those little ****ers.

Yeah, ******s.

Alma.

There's a Chryssalid behind you. It wants you to vote.

[Luis Dias]

True story: The only monster in any games to which I had recurrent nightmares were the ghosts from pacman.


Pyramid head is laughable. All tremble in fear for the pacman ghost!

[BlueFlames]

There's a Chryssalid behind you. It wants you to vote.

No, he wants to impregnate your face by way of a gaping claw-stab wound.  He's just doing you the courtesy of letting you live long enough to vote for him.

[SpardaSon21]

Alma.

This, a thousand times this.  The creepiest little girl ever, and I can't help but feel sorry for her after all she suffered.

[Asteroth]

This, a thousand times this.  The creepiest little girl ever, and I can't help but feel sorry for her after all she suffered.

The "creepy little girl" thing has been done too many times to be actually scary anymore.

[SpardaSon21]

Have you played the original F.E.A.R.?  If not, then don't tell me Alma isn't scary.
