10 Creepiest Video Game Boss Designs

8. Gaping Dragon - Dark Souls

Yeah, this is the first but of course not the last time a Soulsborne boss will appear on this list. Honestly I could easily make a whole list and then some out of Soulsborne bosses, but we’re trying to give some other games a look in.

Personally, gaping is just not an adjective I need before the word dragon, but when you see this guy it checks out. Allegedly he used to be a regular dragon but then got real hungry for a real long time and now he’s… well, this. He’s essentially all legs, claws, bones, wings, and teeth. And way too many hit points. For that extra ick factor you can also cut off his tail. Lovely.
