Basically to me the most annoying enemies in games are when they throw a TON of "very small" enemies at you to soeak up all the damage and pester you.

Fuck these assholes forever. I get PTSD when ever I hear them squaking again.

Satyrs from God Of War Ascension. Coupled with the game's occasionally horrible camera angles, these asshole are really annoying on higher difficulties, especially when they get armor later on. They can literally tank all the damages Kratos is doing and attack at the same time.

Crystal lizards in Dark Souls 2. Killing these guys from point blank range is a hit or miss proposition and can be very frustrating.

Phantoms in ME3 mulltiplayer.

If you're an Asari...um, can't remember the class...the one with a force bubble, you can bubble Phantoms and kill them rather easily.

These are not so bad if you can land a backstab on them...if you can't they are annoying as hell.

Ehh... they're very weak against thrust attacks so stuff like Rifle Spear or Saw Spear or Reiterpallasch or Kirkhammer-Sword or Ludwig (both forms) can deal with them quite easily. Tonitrus makes short work of them as well.

They're annoying yeah, but all in all not too bad really.... I am more annoyed by the dogs and ravens in Bloodborne to be honest, hahaha (and the werewolves, especially the Upper Cathedral ones, ugh), and the..........

The Winter Lanterns in Bloodborne:

  • Guaranteed frenzy
  • High HP
  • Instant-death grab attack that is very hard to dodge.

Yay.

Yeah, these are annoying as hell. Not quite one-hit kill if you wear Frenzy resist clothing since you can mash buttons to make them release you faster if you get caught by their grab.

Makes a bloodtinge build where you can just shoot at them with Bone Ash Marrow-ed Evelyn/Hunter Pistol or Cannon shots very satisfying. These guys--or girls maybe--are worth spending the entire 12 Quicksilver Bullets to dispose, hahah.

1.000 times this! I hated this enemy more then any boss in this game. It's a pretty recent in my memory for obvious reasons, but I believe it easily reaches the top 3 of most annoying particular enemies overall, if I think deeply.

not even top 3 in bloodborne IMO.

1. WInter Lanterns. Frenzy asshole supergrab bullshit.
2. Bloodsucking Beasts. Fuck. You.
3. Rolly Polly Ollie / Dogs / Parasites

Miniblins from The Wind Waker. Not only are their sounds annoying after extended periods of exposure (sounded identical to my dog's toys), the number of times they caused me to fall off ledges, ladders, and other structures and forced me to restart my journey through the Forsaken Fortress is uncountable. Also, they're small enough that I feel bad killing them! Ugh.

I get shivers when I hear their war cry.

Of course I can't forget about these unhittable mothers from Empire at War

Those things were great and annoying, fly in, destroy all your fighters, and boost the fuck away before they take much damage. It made building any fighters completely pointless outside of the ones that come with the bigger capital ships.

And lastly, this son of a noob ! Most annoying "colossi" who is also super small so calling him a colossi is an insult to the other ones. And the worst thing about this....you actually fight him twice :((((((((((((((((((((( Least satisfying and the most boring and frustrating enemy in the game....twice...

You don't fight him twice, there are just two smaller similar Clossi in the same way a couple of bigger ones are similar. They aren't that hard, just fiddly if you miss the clues they give you to defeat them.


Pictures and words people, is the attack helicopter the annoying enemy? I'm no psychic.
 
Cactaurs are always fun to fight, worth if you can kill them but that is such a chore. And then they respond with a really hard hitting attack...ugh!

Edit: oh wow^
Came for the cliff racer.

The way the music would abruptly change despite no visible enemies on screen was always annoying. You'd just look up and, yep, cliff racer on your face.

It's Saints Row 2 and yes it's the helicopters.

They appear in the last few missions with the prompt in the pic. They're damn annoying because they 1 shot you (unless you're in a super specific vehicle) with homing missiles before you can even tell where they're coming from, and the missions that they appear in make you restart the damn mission from the start when you die (also only 1 mission actually gives you something that will let you handle them)

I love them though...!

I haven't played much Dota recently but I played a game last week where I was in a lane against Techies and Tiny, and it was brutal. Before the first creep waves had even met, Tiny had picked me up and threw me into a bunch of mines Techies had set up by the secret shop. This continued for most of the game.

Don't know if that's a thing now but it was very annoying.
 
playing through Secret of Evermore right now. Any flying enemies/small enemies because of the crappy hit detection. Combine that with quick respawns and i just run through most of the areas and spam alchemy.

Rhenoplos in Monster Hunter. One second you'll be wailing on a monster, the next BLAM! You're sent flying across the map.

Oh are you trying to take down that monster FUCK YOU I'M RHENOPLOS!

And those stupid little Konchu too.
Came in to post this. Soooo annoying.
