8 Video Games That Cut Truly Terrifying Enemies

8. The Flood Juggernaut - Halo 2

We all remember that moment. That trouser-browning moment in which air escaped our lungs at such volume and intensity it was like all of the world's screams had been condensed into one being. That moment, when Halo players were introduced to The Flood.

Nobody saw this twist coming, after all the game had been marketed heavily as a sci-fi shooter focusing on the war between Humanity and The Covenant, making the appearance of a third faction midway through the title a true shock. Making matters worse was the fact that the design and end goal of The Flood was truly grim, namely that it wanted to infest all of known life in the galaxy.

The flood came in all shapes and sizes, from bloated figures that exploded when downed, to tiny parasites that charged you en mass, but hidden in the game files of Halo 2 sits another even more horrifying version called The Flood Juggernaut.

This hulking creature was nearly twice the size of Master Chief and could one-shot the player with its huge spiked tentacles, meaning that it would have been an utter fear factory to confront. Due to time constraints, the Juggernaut was cut, and I think we can all count our lucky stars we don't have to come toe to tentacle with this monster.
