10 Evil Horror Video Game Villains You Couldn’t Wait To Kill
1. Piggsy - Manhunt
Oh boy...
For those who thought Lionel Starkweather was a bit much, the most absurd of his seemingly countless henchmen is here to crank it up a notch.
So who exactly is Piggsy? Well, he’s an eccentric chap who loves chainsaws and homicide. He’s also not big on that whole clothes thing bar the skinned pig head he wears over his face. Essentially, if Leatherface and Ugly Naked Guy from Friends got into that fusion machine from The Fly, this is the stomach-churning result one would have to deal with.
In a game bloated with sadism, cruelty and depravity, this oddity takes the cake, giving the game an unseemly, icky vibe whenever he shows up. An ace performer in Starkweather’s snuff flicks, Piggsy lives in the director’s attic, munching on the remains of his countless victims.
Even the other crooks and goons involved in Starkweather’s snuff empire seem genuinely scared and appalled by Piggsy’s antics.
Fortunately for players, this animalistic fiend’s kryptonite is steel grates, which just happen to be on hand during his boss fight. One can’t help but feel relief upon finally getting rid of this demented villain. One also can’t help but wonder what the hell was going on in the Rockstar writers’ room the day Piggsy was conceived.
