10 Opening Bosses That Totally Ruined Video Games

6. That Horrible Trypophobia Fish Whale Thing - Final Fantasy X

OK, I looked it up and it's actually called Geosgaeno, but that doesn't even come close to rescuing it from the deepest most suppressed parts of my psyche. I was 14 when Final Fantasy X was first released and, for reasons I couldn't quite understand, the sight of this thing nearly made me hurl.

If you're sitting there with absolutely no idea what the problem is then good for you, but turns out teenage me had trypophobia which is a very, very weird psychological disgust at the sight of many, numerous, tiny holes. For whatever reason, this big snake fish beach ball thing set it right off. Something about its weird see-through cage stomach and, especially, the double slits at the side of its mouth. Honestly man, it's horrible, get it off my screen.

I battled on through like the brave soldier I am but, after that, I dreaded returning to Final Fantasy X for fear that the next great monster or boss would also have some sort of design quirk that would make me wretch. You might just think this is a bad story about me being a fanny and, well, yes, it is, but it still ruined the entire game for me, this.
