10 Most Awesome Video Game Enemies

8. Imp (Doom)

One of the first enemies you come across in the stupidly entertaining horror FPS Doom 3, the Imp emerges from a ball of fire and if you're not quick on your feet, will make short work of you. With a bulky appearance, and boasting between 10 and 12 eyes, the Imps look totally fugly, but that's not all; upon arriving from Hell onto Mars, they then let out a loud screech before lunging forward and attempting to rend you to pieces with their giant claws. The Imp can also hurl fireballs at you which cause considerable damage, so it's advisable to get the shotgun out and start pumping away immediately. What makes the Imp so great is that it's an unexpectedly tough enemy to hurl at you right at the start of a game, and one that gets you used to what is to come throughout Doom 3. Basically, if you can get used to Imps appearing out of nowhere, climbing walls and diving out of dark holes, then you'll be able to take on pretty much anything else the game has to offer.
