10 Terrifying Characters From Non-Horror Video Games

Dark Gaia was the evil force at the core of the world who was released by Dr. Eggman when he blew apart the globe's continents in the opening to Sonic Unleashed. Kept at bay by his nemesis Light Gaia, DG chips away at people's moods, keeps them from sleeping and litters the world with his evil minions.

Whilst his evil presence is felt and seen throughout the game, it's at his boss battle in the game's finale where his true awe is really ramped up to truly jaw-dropping levels. A huge creature made up of thin long limbs, black skin and sharp claws, you'll soon be wondering what happened to the generally lighthearted and comedic figures of Doctor Eggman and Metal Sonic battles from earlier games.

Dark Gaia's second form is even more terrifying however, stretching his face out, letting out a huge roar and sprouting a huge eye in the middle of his face that players have to aim straight for as the fight rolls on. Turning into Super Sonic, there's a truly scary POV shot of Dark Gaia's huge size to enjoy, before players are forced to begin dodging his incoming boulders and surge towards the game's finale.
