10 Unfair Video Game Enemies That Made You Rage Quit

7. Malboro - Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy XV
Square Enix

One of the most popular unfair enemies on this list, Malboro is infamous amongst Final Fantasy fans, and has shown up in a bunch of the games to keep his legacy as the ultimate bringer of pain alive.

Ask any fan, and they'll tell you just how much they loath this monster's 'bad breath' move, which can inflict multiple status effects on the player's party. Consequently, before the fight has properly even begun, you can find yourself on the back foot, with your party sent berserk, poisoned, confused, or any other effect that essentially means you have to wrestle with your own team before you can even think about taking on Malboro properly.

This lethal unpredictability is what makes battles so frustrating, and taking on this disease of an enemy never gets less annoying.
