Everything I want to mention has been mentioned, except:

The banshee things in Mass Effect 3. Legit scary enemies in a non horror game.

Just admit it, you'd like to get that close to them for a kiss. Sexy beasts.

As for me, i hate those fast screaming zombies in Half-Life 2. Maybe me go "nope" when they first showed up in Ravenholm.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Fucking Malboros in Final Fantasy's VIII and X. They are easy as hell and not a threat in IX, XII, and any other ones they're in.

 

[Son Of D]

Nightmare Creatures on the PS1 freaked me out as a kid.

 

[BLUElightCory]

Esp the last one. With high enough insight you can hear them singing.

Ugh the singing. So creepy.

 

[Son Of D]

Forgot about these two. They're bosses, but I think they're still good examples. Both from Tomb Raider 1.

The T-Rex:

The... whatever this thing is:

 

[III-V]

Yeah, I always quit this game

 

[D1renegade]

The giant

Spoiler

abhorrent brain

in the Nightmare of Mensis in Bloodborne.

Jesus Christ, I couldn't even look at the thing while I was trying to kill it.

 

[Artex]

Lisa from P.T.

Yeah fuck that game. First time I saw the girl I closed the fucking game immediately.

 

[HammerFace]

The Bloodborne enemies that do this in the Chalice Dungeons.

What is this from? I must know.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Cazadors, Fallout: New Vegas.

GOOD FUCKING LORD NO

I had one of these fuckheads spawn right in front of me leaving the Zion General Store in Honest Hearts, gave me a better scare then any horror movie.

 

[Easy_D]

So glad I never played this game as a child. The levels leading up to the fight are nightmare fuel. Music being especially creepy

 

[devonodev]

Wall Masters in Zelda OoT freaked me out as a kid, once that shadow appeared I was out of there.

 

[Rurunaki]

What is this from? I must know.

Movie called Mama

 

[Skii]

So true!

What movie is that, though? I'd love to watch it.

What is this from? I must know.

Mama.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Lisa Trevor, easily

 

[ieptbarakat]

Thought Amnesia would be posted already.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Spoiler

Ruvik appearances in Evil Within

:

...the nopest.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

So true!

What movie is that, though? I'd love to watch it.

The gif is scarier than the movie

 

[squidyj]

That was a mistake, now he'll never get it back

 

[Elitist1945]

TLOU

 

[Ionic]

First encounter with a Controller, ran all the out of Agroprom underground to find a bazooka or something.

This is a good one. I had absolutely no idea what was happening to my vision when I saw the first one. Despite him pulling my vision towards him, I lost track of my orientation and couldn't find him for awhile. However, the big scary beast in STALKER will always be the iconic Bloodsucker for me. Hearing one yell always made me frantically look around for any trace of those bright eyes.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Cazadors, Fallout: New Vegas.

But yeah P.T. too

 

[Bornstellar]

Alien from Alien: Isolation.

My progress in that game has been... slow.

 

[Buburibon]

Mama.

Thanks!

The gif is scarier than the movie

Haha, that's a shame. There's just something terribly nostalgic about that gif. It reminds me of a time long ago, when my 7-year-old self would sleep with the lights on for a couple nights after seeing something like that on TV.

 

[abstract alien]

In the Chalice Dungeons in Bloodborne. If you clear a mini-boss in a room, sometimes when you go back, there'll be a flea/bloodlicker waiting for you in the darkness. The first time it happens is terrifying/disturbing.

I seriously questioned myself when this happened. That was on the level of Eternal Darkness turning down the volume on my tv.

 

[Lazaro]

TLOU

Love dem Naughty Dog animations.

I met my fate at that location too.

 

[whyreggielie]

I dreaded every single Regenerator from RE 4.

This guy:

And this one from Zombi U, the noises it was making did not sound like a Zombie at all.

 

[Dunkley]

This guy:

He was great in the sense though that he actually made you use the camera stick to look where he is going.

 

[TheInternetNomad]

those guys from bloodborne

Yup, one of the few enemies that actually creeped me out. reminds me of a mixture of Sadako from the Ring, and Lisa from P.T.

 

[duck_sauce]

Resident Evil.....Nemesis.
I remember running away from that thing, mumbling "nonononono please no".

 

[KDR_11k]

Machine gun turret, Pay Day 2. Wish the AI knew to NOPE away from the damn things.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Chozo Ghosts from tbe first Metroid Prime. I used to take massive detours to avoid rooms where they would spawn.

Secondly the laughing bloodstained kimono woman from Project Zero/Fatal Frame II. She really scared me when I played the remake last month.

One of the upgrades makes the Chozo Ghosts fairly easy, I think it was the super missile. One super, one regular and they go down.

 

[Vibranium]

Lisa Trevor, easily

Yeah being in the caverns trying to solve a puzzle with her around was really scary. People like to shit on RE's writing and say it's only good for B movie stuff but Lisa and the rest of the Trevors' story was great. Proof that the series can do serious well.

 

[Vibranium]

Resident Evil.....Nemesis.
I remember running away from that thing, mumbling "nonononono please no".

"STARS"

Me in RE3: "Oh god, not you again, go away Nemesis, no wrong corner, ahhh!"

 

[littleworm]

Cazadors (F:NV)

Spiders (Skyrim)

Giant Slaughterfish (Oblivion)

Spiderbug (Metro Last Light)

[nicanica]

Machine gun turret, Pay Day 2. Wish the AI knew to NOPE away from the damn things.

Genuine unique response.

Those things ruin my day

 

[DeadlyParasite]

Almost every goddamn enemy in Fallout 3/New Vegas. Feral Ghouls = nope, death claws = nope, and cazadores = nope. But mostly feral ghouls because you enter those tunnels and you can hear them but you don't see them until they jump at you with their melted faces from behind.

 

[Sesha]

Wretch from Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs

It still exists...no chance you have a friend who knows a guy?

edit: oh, and yeah, fuck Konami.


My answer: Like Likes in Zelda 1. They EAT your shield. And they're always in a room with bubbles that make you unable to use your sword for a few seconds. Fuck the fucking fuckers!

I'm aware, but sadly I don't think anyone I know has it downloaded. So yeah, fuck Konami.

 

[Kaversmed]

 

[toastyToast]

And, worst of them all, the #1 most awful NOPE enemy of the game:

This guy is fucking terrifying especially if you start making fetid/defiled/rotted chalices going up against this dude is a death sentence. Even with full health he's a hard time.

The crazy hair dudes are trivial to parry.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

a non-horror one, the Illusionists from Helldivers:

...bonus points for turning NOPE into YEP against your will..

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Bloodsuckers in STALKER fucked my shit up jesus christ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Vi-iWR31W9A

 

[SinShep]

Despite all the Bloodborne posts already made, the only enemy that actually made me freak out are the Black Widows in Mergo's Loft.

It's something to do with their fast animations that I just find completely unsettling.

 

[TheCarrotKiller]

Bloaters in TLoU freaked me out, especially in that

Spoiler

hotel basement

Yup, as a coward just the scared me away from PT. However I had to finish TLOU, but the bloaters or clickers in general, ugh.. Shivering. Only could finished the location you mention with no sound, full lights and some other music next to me, that particularly is the main reason that I have yet to replay the game!

 

[MrBadger]

I about peed when I saw this. Fuck this game.

Oh he's not that scary

 

[lazyguy]

I don't really know why but when I played Gears 3 horde with friends when the boss round came and it were bezerkers I screamed bloody murder and I am not the screaming kind of guy.
Maybe it's what I always wanted to see in movies. Like when someone like Michael Myers walk slowly in a long halway but suddenly break out in a sprint. that's what I liked about Masky in Marble Hornets.

 

[GoonerTRON]

Dead Space Babies

 

[mcz117chief]

I was always wondering about this. Why do people say "Nope!" ? I don't get it. I never heard a person who was scared say "nope" in my life. They usually get startled or say some kind of profanity. When did this start and how common is it ?

 

[WITHE1982]

Another shout out to Lisa Trevor. Her back story is also really tragic.

I'd go for the regenerator in Dead Space 1

Also enemies from Project Zero/Fatal Frame

 

[Resident Evil King]

Slurpers in Silent Hill 3 - mostly due to the horrible (and quite loud) noise emanating from any room they're in. Plus they grab you and basically rape you every time you get near them. They just feel like one of the "ickiest" creatures in the whole SH universe to me, like whatever they are supposed to symbolize is gross as fuck.

I can't find a video on youtube that does justice to the sound otherwise I'd post one.
