The world of video games does not fall short of creepy, sinister, and disgusting-looking creatures. From demons, monsters, deformed humans, and the most macabre creatures you can ever think of - these videogame characters will keep you up at night even if you have subdued them in their games.
To keep the spirit of spooky season burning and howling, we will be rounding up ten of the scariest videogame characters that have popped up from our screens so far.
Let's start off with number 10!
#10. The Matriarch (The Evil Within)
The Matriarch is the game's final boss and one of The Evil Within's most terrifying enemies. She is a monstrous, horrifying, disfigured creature with boils all over her body. But most importantly, she is hard to beat in the game, which makes her extra creepy!
#9. Big Mother (GTFO)
The host body of Big Mothers has a split skull and rows of pointed teeth around its collar and is severely disfigured. It has additional appendages and large strengthened protrusions on its thorax to shield it from gunfire. The spinal cord of the monster likewise appears to be external to its body.
This monster acts as a final boss for certain Rundowns, and with its horrifying image, players can't help but defeat it as fast as they can before it haunts them completely.
#8. Laura (The Evil Within)
There is nothing more frightening than a girl in a hellish spider form!
Laura is the disturbing version of a young girl deformed with huge clawed limbs. Her story tells us that she is but a mere innocent girl that was burned alive until she transformed into this hideous and monstrous figure.
This is definitely not the type of girl you would want to meet while you are on your way home at night.
#7. Valtiel (Silent Hill 3)
Some Silent Hill fans say that Valtiel is like the Pyramid Head without the helmet, and once he comes crawling into your screen, you might want to run away from his demonic figure!
The Seal of Metatron is affixed to both of Valtiel's shoulders, and she has a startlingly human appearance. She also has a leathery face that appears to have been sewn together and a matching butcher's apron.
The jolting movements of its head, evoking images from the horror film Jacob's Ladder from the 1990s, are particularly terrifying. In fact, Ladder is credited for inspiring the entire Silent Hill video game.
#6. Lisa Trevor (Resident Evil)
Researchers at Umbrella Corporation imprisoned and experimented on Lisa Trevor, resulting in the victim's horrendous mutilation.
Her mask, composed of human faces, is one of the most horrifying video game visions we wish would not appear in our dreams tonight!
#5. Twin Victims (Silent Hill 4)
These terrifying creatures are from Silent Hill 4: The Room and can be found in the Water Prison's panopticon.
It is particularly unnerving to see the Twin Victims' young features with their calm expressions juxtaposed with their enormous arms. But what makes them even creepier is their ominous noises, which is something you don't want to hear.
#4. Broken Neck Woman (Fatal Frame)
As her name implies, this monster has a broken neck that has been brutally bent at an abnormal angle.
She has a blank stare that can send chills down to your bones. What makes her even scarier, though, is the fact that she died after falling from Heaven Bridge, with her neck suffering severely from the fall. This woman is one of the creepiest video game characters we have seen. have seen.
#3. The Baby (Resident Evil Village)
Babies are supposed to be cute, but this one is something you surely want to run away from! This creature has nightmares written all over its face.
The Baby is a minor antagonist in Resident Evil Village. It was designed as a macabre humanoid creature that tries to eat the main protagonist of the game.
#2. The Human Reaper (Mass Effect 2)
When Mass Effect 2 featured the Collectors, a species under the control of the fearsome Reapers who were abducting humanity from various colonies across the galaxy, it marked the game's foray into the horror theme instead of its usual sci-fi tones.
This is one of the deadliest monsters in video games in terms of appearance. Its size and demeanor are absolutely nasty, violent, and horrifying to witness.
#1. Pyramid Head (Silent Hill 2)
Even with a mask on, this creature can still wreak terrors on Silent Hill fans, and it has become an iconic horror character since it was introduced in the franchise's second installment.
But even though the Pyramid Head may not appear as grotesque as Valtiel, this character's undertones are simply too much to comprehend as it appears to be both violent and sexual. He is by far the most disturbing video game character out there. Hence, he takes the number one spot!
