10 Unhinged Video Game Characters That Would've Made Perfect Villains

5. Conker (Conker's Bad Fur Day)

Don€™t let his appearance fool you, Conker the anthropomorphic squirrel is a belligerent alcoholic with a tendency to urinate in public. Armed to the teeth with a shotgun, throwing knives, a machine gun and his own foul mouth, Conker€™s goal is very simple: get home to his buxom girlfriend Berri before he€™s turned into a table leg. This may surprise a few people but despite his bad language and usage of drugs and alcohol, Conker is part of the same universe as Donkey Kong. That's right, Conker was a playable character in the 1997 kart racer Diddy Kong Racing. It was an early iteration of the character long before Rare turned him into a depraved boozer, but it does means that Conker and Donkey Kong exist in the same shared universe. Though Nintendo would never allow it, can you imagine a game in which the innocent and naïve trio of Donkey, Diddy and Dixie had to put an end to the intoxicated mayhem being caused by everyone€™s favourite degenerate squirrel? It€™s something that would never happen of course, but that won€™t stop me from dreaming.
