10 Bizarre Secret Alternate Costumes In Video Games

10. Onimusha: Warlords - Creepy Panda Suit

Wearing a big cuddly animal suit and being a samurai fighting demons go hand in hand so I guess it’s little wonder Capcom decided you needed to be able to dress up as a panda in Onimusha: Warlords.

Forewarning, there is an awful lot of Capcom on this list. What can I say, they just get our need for crazy costume options. In Onimusha: Warlords you step into the very cool shoes of samurai Samanosuke Akechi as he goes on a quest to save his cousin Princess Yuki from demons working alongside his enemy’s forces. The revenge story is tense so why not chill things out with a cosy panda suit... with a baby panda in its panda pouch relentlessly clapping?

This thing looks so creepy it may fit right in with the game’s atmosphere already. If it seems like your idea of a good time all you gotta do is play the game through once with 10 Flourite pieces in your possession and it’s panda killing time. Killing as a panda... time. You know what I mean.

The head part comes off but why would you want to deny your enemies that smiling face before their inevitable demise?
