Favorite specific enemy in a game.

I'm not talking about different types of enemies which together form a group or army. I'm talking about a single type of adversary be it a boss or just a regular thing that simply must die.

Mine would be the headcrab in the Half-Life series. Out of all the aliens in that game I think the headcrab is the most believable. Over the course of the game you saw how they were born, how they eat, and how how they spawn their offspring. And the headcrab behaves like it should. An animal that doesn't want to kill you just for the sake of killing you. They view you like anyone else, prey. They act like they don't really care if you live or die. They just want to survive.

I would have to say the Replica Soldiers from F.E.A.R.

They are so smart and their radio chatter is awesome.

A Zombie, there easy to defeat because they have no brain :PPS360Fanboy

Hehe, Zombies are my favorite thing to kill, that's for sure.

Though, I think my favorite enemy was this wolverine type thing in Resident Evil 4, it was called a Garrador, it was the typical "I'm a big beast but I'm hard to kill, I'm blind, and I use my hearing, but there's a weak on my back" kind of boss fight, yet it is way more intense because they aren't really bosses or minibosses, they ended up just becoming like, a regular enemy, but anyway, I'll spare the details and just say that I liked them because they really put your hairs on end, seeing those things made my heart skip a beat cuz when you saw how they killed you (first it charges and shoves it's claws into your face, then it lifts you up and gives you a nice jab in the gut, and then twists, then the "you are dead" screen pops up, as if you didn't know already.), you had a great reason to be scared.

That was actually the first enemy to make me feel scared in a game. There was also this other boss in that game that scared the crap out of me, I don't know what it was called, but you had to knock down these liquid nitrogen tanks to freeze it, and then shoot it till it shatters, if anyone remembers that please tell me what that thing was called, cuz that was a crazy boss fight.

Hmmm, I always thought those flying robot exoskeletons in R-type were cool. And that huge robot in Turrican that kept saying "Make my day". The grunts in Halo are fun as well.

Old ladies with their walkers in Saint's Row.

Seriously physics is one of the best improvements to sandbox games... creaming an old lady with your car and watching her walker spin on one wheel in the streets behind you is amazing.

That and there was this Assassin mission where i was looking for thisguy jogging in a speedo for about 3 hours... I think the hit called for me to use my knife and I was never so happy to run up and stab someone 40 times before.

This guy (FFXII)

Badass.

Half Life - The Special Forces commandos: Intelligent, Ruthless, Quick, and Organized... I haven't come across many games till date where the bad guys kept me on my toes as much as them.

Also, some of the bosses in Okami... very cool indeed!
