10 Biggest Jump-Scares In Non-Horror Video Games

10. Lurker Shark - Jak And Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

I know what you're thinking. How can ANYONE find Jak and Daxter scary? Just look at the cutesy graphics. It's not exactly Dead Space, is it? That goes double for the original, since Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy really leaned into the cartoony vibe.

But the second you took a dip in the water, it became a horror show. After spending a couple of seconds in the ocean, a lurker shark appears out of thin air and begins hunting you. If you don't get back on dry land quickly, this monstrosity will gulp you down in one go.

Now, insta-kill fishies are nothing new in video games - let's not forget about Big Bertha in Super Mario Bros. 3. - but the lurker shark is far more spine-chilling. Not only does he come out of nowhere, he's indestructible. So long as you are in the water, he's always on your tail. And if you think you're safe from this behemoth while in shallow water, you're in for a rude awakening. The only way to avoid being turned into fish food is to stay out of the water entirely.
