10 Truly Disturbing Fates Hidden In Video Games

As most people play through Metal Gear Solid and not the entire Metal Gear series, some games are never picked up by many who would consider themselves fans of the franchise. This is half a blessing and half a shame, as it means they never witness Marionette Owl, arguably the creepiest character in the whole franchise.

Having witnessed his best friend's body after she'd been brutally murdered as a child, The Spectre Killer became decidedly unhinged, having continual nightmares about the event for years afterwards. Eventually, this would lead to him becoming a serial killer himself - but not just any kind of serial killer, because garden variety homicides are apparently too mundane for the Metal Gear series.

The Marionette Owl gets his name from his custom-crafted "marionettes", which are made via human corpses, transformed into Bunraku dolls. As if this wasn't creepy enough, he specifically kills those he loves and makes them into the puppets - which is not what anyone means when they say that having hobbies is important.
