10 Most INFURIATING Enemies In Horror Video Games

7. Imps - Rule Of Rose (2006)

Dead Space Remake
Sony Computer Entertainment

In survival horror cult gem Rule Of Rose, 19-year-old orphan Jennifer inexplicably awakens in an airship run by malevolent young girls who call themselves the Red Crayon Aristocrat Club after she’s ambushed by them at the start of the game. Taken into the hierarchal group as the lowest ranking member, Jennifer spends each level completing tasks for each of the other members to find gifts for them.

Being a survival horror game, though, exploring the airship in search for these items isn’t made easy thanks to the army of imps that roam the narrow hallways.

The only enemy in the game except bosses, these child-sized critters wear ghoulish animal masks and wield weapons that range from brooms to knives. They're extremely aggressive and will attack the orphan protagonist on sight.

Especially dangerous in large numbers, getting swarmed by these foes can quickly spell game over. However, what makes them obnoxiously infuriating enough to be featured on this list is that hitting them is made almost impossible thanks to this game’s infamously terrible controls.

It’s best to stay as far away as possible from these enemies when spotted – even if that means taking a long detour to your destination.
