10 Video Game Characters Who Became Villains By Accident

10. Hannah And The Miners - Until Dawn

The main antagonists of Until Dawn are wendigos, flesh-hungry monsters who hunt the main cast during their stay at the mountain lodge.

The reason why wendigos exist in the area remains a mystery until the very end of the game, but when you discover the truth, you realize that the monsters are unfortunate victims of circumstance.

Towards the end of the game, you find out that wendigos are humans who were cursed to transform into monsters due to consuming human flesh.

At first glance, this might seem like a fitting end for someone who eats other people, but as you delve into the mystery further, you realize that most of the wendigos on the mountain are miners who had to resort to cannibalism due to being trapped below earth.

Moreover, one of the wendigos turns out to be Hannah, the friend of the survivors, who presumably dies in the game’s intro after falling off a cliff.

In reality, Hannah survived the fall but ended up trapped in the mines, forced to eat her own sister’s body in order to survive.

Considering Hannah’s fall happened because of a prank her friends’ pulled on her, maybe the true villains were the people you've been trying to save all along.
