10 Terrifying Characters From Non-Horror Video Games

The story of Herobrine is one of the most fabled and legendary in gaming history.

Minecraft is a charming and picturesque game built around exploration, harvesting, crafting and building with the materials from a rich and diverse world. Players then have the freedom of this world to play with, delving deep into the bowels of the Earth in search of treasures, loot and minerals that will help them level up their gear and build more awesome buildings. There are friendly NPC villagers and animals that can make for some good company, however there is also one character that every single Minecrafter lives in fear of: Herobrine.

The most infamous, mysteriously and virally sighted character (seriously, this guy has more sighting videos than Big Foot) from the game, Herobrine looks just like everybody's main man Steve in his green shirt and blue trousers. However he also possesses two bright white eyes that send chills down any player's spine if they're unfortunate enough to catch a glimpse of this evil miner. You could just be out and about in your mineshaft, the same one you go down every single day, and suddenly you see those white eyes in the corner of your screen staring at you.

Despite pleas and protests from the Mojang team that Herobrine has been removed from the game after every update, the strange sightings keep popping up and the legend of this cursed miner continues to haunt the game and its many petrified players...
