10 Intimidating Video Game Characters We're Glad Were On Our Side!

9. Itward - Fran Bow

If you looked at a screenshot of Itward with zero other context given to you other than the fact that he's in Fran Bow, you'd probably presume that he's one of the villains of the game. And this isn't a totally unfair guess, as he is a seven foot tall skeleton with vaguely sinister looking yellow cat eyes.

But this is an incorrect guess, as Itward is actually one of the nicest characters you'll meet in the entire game by a significant margin. He's polite, he's undeniably intelligent - making a flying ship - and cares deeply for Fran herself. It's suggested that he has tried to help all of the children in Oswald Asylum, even after some of them decided to hate and blame him for bad events in their life because of his ominous appearance.

It's a huge solace that Itward is a sort of patron saint for wayward souls like Fran, because there are enough foreboding entities in the game without adding a skeletal man in a top hat to the mix.
