Well... "tamed" is a strong concept here...
It depends... on which difficulty level?

The old man's dog in Castlevania IV.
He drops to his knees crying when you kill it. :~(

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
The colossi in SOTC. No other game comes close.
These dudes are literally chilling and as the character I go out of my way to murder them.
I was wrong the boss is actually a close second.

Not an enemy, but I shot a turtle in AC4 Black Flag. Intentionally I thought I could craft something out of it. Turns out you couldn't. My GF was shocked and upset I killed it, felt bad afterwards. Lol
Shadow of the Colossus
YES. D:

Agreed. The sort of wailing-moans they'd let out at death were depressing too.
no shit i nearly cried :*(
this
also, the entirety of shadow of the colossus
and sif from dark souls
edit: dammit how could i forget "press square" after "the boss" boss fight at the end of mgs3
Dragon God - Demon Souls...I mean he's a angry dude who wants nothing but your death, but yeah, when you pin him down with two harpoons and you need those last few hits to finish him off and he just sits there wincing in pain, I feel bad.
Though I think there is a game breaking bug that if you kill him as he kills you, you will be unable to finish the game as it won't register the kill and the final sequence won't be initiated by the maiden in black. So I guess he can potentially get some form of payback.
As others have said - Sif is pretty rough especially if its after you do the DLC.

Fuck you Secret of Mana.
After reading some fan theories... The moment is just as tragic, but now I understand why it had to be done, and it wasn't just to open the path to the Old One.
Astraea lost her way and turned from healing the people of the swamp to letting them worship her and throw their lives and fortunes at her. Notice how she sits on a massive heap of gold and treasures. Notice how the Depraved masses bow to her and receive nothing in return. She's far more sympathetic than the Old Monk or Allant, but she still abused her power.

All of the enemies in Metal Gear Solid 3...
Thanks alot, the Sorrow
This. Sometimes after their squad leader, an Elite, is killed they would run around in a panic, where I'd leave them alone. Poor little fellas, the cannon fodder of the Covenant.

Should have been a companion instead of an Enemy!

This will sound absurd but...
Almost everything in GTA games. I don't actually want to kill every damn person in my way or care about wiping out 100% of huge waves and groups of baddies. I don't want endless missions of "go here and kill 50 people who we're offering no explanation as to why they need killing" in formats that rarely offer any challenge. There's no way a hundred generic gang members should actually come defend some random abandoned house. I hated the tease that heists in V could be done wisely and cleanly with the first one but the others all require epic slaughters no matter what options you try to use.
Basically, human foes that are added into a game just for the sake of needing to kill them without any actual function or reason to it. Also, please keep in mind that feeling bad for doing it and enjoying some senseless violence from time to time are not mutually exclusive. I'm not saying it can't be fun if presented well but far too often it's just "kill a ton of people just 'cuz".
