Monsters have been a part of art for as long as it has existed, such as the dragon in spoken tales. As life progressed, the creation of even more monsters took over all forms of media. Video Games take monsters and go mad in what they choose to design, with some of them being based on concepts from the past while others are unique to themselves.
Several of these monsters have brought fear into the eyes of players. This is either because the monster was too scary to witness or way too powerful that merely going up against it would be enough to make someone tremble in fear.
10 Deathclaws -- Fallout Series
What originally started as a companion in Fallout 2 soon turned into one of the most feared monsters in all the Fallout series. Quite often, when players go against one of these beasts, they will be taken out very quickly.
The scariest part of the Deathclaw is that they continue to get stronger as the series goes on. Fallout 4 has the Mythic Deathclaw, which is the most powerful one in the series. This monster brought fear, as most of the time, even the weaker ones would kill unsuspecting players in a single shot.
9 Ludwig, The Accursed -- Bloodborne
Ludwig, The Accursed in Bloodborne, is an enemy that personifies madness in all of his being. A lot of the time, his dialogue resembles soldiers who have passed beneath him, along with the screams of a tormented beast. He then switches to a much nobler-sounding man once he grabs the sword. It's off-putting in a disturbingly creepy way.
This boss is difficult to beat but also scary to look at for the entire duration of the fight.
8 Abominations -- Warcraft Series
Abominations are part of the Undead army in the Warcraft series. This is a cool monster design that took the Frankenstein concept and formed it into something a lot more messy and grotesque than what is given in the original Frankenstein. Abominations look like a Hodge podge of body parts.
These monsters look like they were bred for war and are seen as guards predominantly in World of Warcraft. They wield up to three weapons and are overall interesting monsters.
7 Cowman -- The Forest
The Cowman is someone that'll scare almost everyone who's playing The Forest. It can ram the players at extremely fast speeds, instantly killing them if they are not careful about it. The mutant also has an insane amount of health that players have to put up with, and its regular blows do huge damage.
On top of its ability, the mutant is terrifying to look at as it acts like a rhino, is called the Cowman, yet looks like a chicken. It's an extremely malformed being that's threatening in every way.
6 Xenomorph - Alien Isolation
Alien Isolation might have been a little too long, but the game still had one of the best monsters in the video game world: the Xenomorph. This monster will make players want to be as silent as possible and understand to spot it at all times because one wrong move would lead to death.
The Xenomorph has plenty of ways in which it can kill the player,s and some lead to moments where players will feel a jump scare on par with what they'd feel at a haunted house.
5 Pregnant Necromorph -- Dead Space Series
The Pregnant Necromorphs in the Dead Space series are infected humans that are comprised of only one person. The appearance of this monster is spine-chilling as the arms are actually connected to its side, and the claws are ripping out of the monster's shoulders. The gelatinous belly is also very unsightly.
Pregnant Necromorphs might not even be pregnant from what the game states and are mainly composed of people who happen to have more fatty tissue.
4 Twin Victims -- Silent Hill 4: The Room
Silent Hill 4: The Room takes making babies creepy to a whole other level. The Twin Victims are huge conjoined twins that look deceased due to their pale skin. They walk around on their giant arms and have tattered robes to accompany them, giving them a disturbing appearance.
Outside their appearance, they fight with a relentless attitude and deal big attacks on the game's main character, Henry.
3 Laura -- The Evil Within
Laura in The Evil Within is one scary monster as she walks on her hands and feet and has a second pair of arms that come out of her back. She moves fairly slowly but can move from corpse to corpse, bursting with blood when she rips out of them. She is persistent in her chase of the player throughout the game and appears as a primary antagonist of the first title.
She's an enemy that players need to be very careful with, or they will be killed by her in an instant. So, they need to be constantly on the move when facing her.
2 Chris Walker -- Outlast
Chris Walker from Outlast is a Former Marine that fought in Afghanistan. As his life went on, he went insane and started killing people left and right. In the game, he has completely lost it, and his bloodlust has taken over him. Chris Walker will chase down the player until he kills or loses him.
He is the strongest of the Variants in the first Outlast game. Everything about Chris Walker seems off as he is also one of the most monstrous looking of all the Variants in the Outlast series.
1 Jack -- Resident Evil: Biohazard
Jack in Resident Evil: Biohazard is a monster that was made to be completely feared. During the initial part of Biohazard, there is a big question of whether Jack will ever actually be killable. Anytime Jack goes down, he comes back more powerful with something more deadly up his sleeve.
Jack likes to trap the players in tight spaces, so going up against him when players are not initially used to the controls is an absolutely horrifying experience.
