Favorite Video Games Enemies
Post the video game enemies you had the best time fighting. Mine would have to be:
This guy, from Shadow of the Colossus. It contained one of the most awesome gaming moments I've ever witnessed when the whole thing did a barrel roll and I fell off, only to be snatched out of the air by one of it's wings.
One of these guys scared the ever living shit out of me in Condemned 2 during one of my favorite levels. Not only because of the atmosphere and surprise, like most enemies in the game, but because having this guy grab you and attempt to stab you with a syringe is freakin' scary in it's own right.
Another notable enemy from Condemned 2 is the serial killer in the snowy cottage place, but I won't spoil that.
In my opinion, the best chapter in Half Life 2 was Anticitizen One, where you fought all those Striders. In fact, my favorite enemies in that game were the Striders. Fighting and killing them was just so exciting and satisfying.
The Carthaginians in Rome: Total War. You could freak out their elephants causing them to rampage through friendly troops. 'Nuff said.
Hrmph, none of my images are working... Wait, there we go.

It has to be hitler, because he's just such a jerk.
He's a hero in my eyes!
Pokey and Gigas of Earthbound.
I'd say those two are my favorite, but Pokey is my real personal favorite. Why? Because the fat little bastard harasses you the entire game, then runs away in the end. You fight him along with Gigas, but while you defeat Gigas, Pokey gets away, and you're left hoping for a sequel for another chance to kick his ass.
also the arachno-spiders from Doom.
He is a boss in one of the Super Robot Wars games. And the only way to beat it is by using the power of love :P
From the Lunar games (SegaCD and remakes on Playstation)
I hate him, I love him, I dig that he's a huge ABBA fan...
I dressed up as a Pacghost for a Superheroes and Villains costume party. Needless to say I was the most villainous there.
Mother Brain always scared the crap out of me and I liked that fight... and the creepy music in the back.
1: It cannot be described in words due to how alien and odd the creature is.
2: If a mortal person either destroyed or glimpsed it for even a second, they would most likely go insane and/or die (Ness and co. were an exception due to the fact that they were robots, so they don't fall under that criteria)
3: There is obviously no escape from this thing once you encounter it
4: It is invincible to just about everything in the known universe (except love)
5: It has such untold power that it is able to spread it's influence on any weak minded living thing with incredible ease (Giygas' followers could be considered as Earthbound's version of cultists that are present in many Lovecraft stories)
Sorry if I got carried away and wrote a diatribe about Giygas, but I felt like this had to be said.
Edit: Also, the splicers disguised as statues are really damn freaky, like in that recent episode of Dr. Who.
Shadow of the Colossus has to have the best bad guys of all. I think "The Vulture" (the other flying type you fight above water) is the best just because of the speed you feel. I only recently found out that it has a one hit kill attack (if you hit it but don't grab onto it).
The Zerg, in my opinion, go unmatched.
There was a bunch of buildup to this fight, and the twist was great too. The Lavos fight at the end of the game was pretty epic, and all of the character's personal battles near the end of the game were sweet as well.
