11. Nemesis (Resident Evil 3: Nemesis)
Hopefully when you read the word 'Nemesis' you're not marred by the horrendous costume present in the second Resident Evil movie, and instead it's the walking tower of meat-with-a-face that pursued you relentlessly in the third main instalment. Connoting that idea we've all experienced in some far-off childhood nightmare of a creature of unknown intentions pursuing you through the night, in-game Nemesis was such an unstoppable force that the more time you spent exploring Raccoon City the more chance he had of randomly sprouting out the scenery to gnash your ankles off.
That first appearance though - with him appearing seemingly out of nowhere just to grab hold of series' regular Brad Vickers and ventilate the back of his head with a giant tentacle - is the moment we all realised we'd bitten off more than we could chew thinking our amassed caché of green herbs was going to get us through in one piece.
