10 Video Game Heroes With Surprisingly High Bodycounts

5. The Prince - Katamari Demacy

"Surely not", you might be thinking. Not the cute, weirdly shaped Prince of All Cosmos, of all people. Surely he wouldn't kill a soul in his quest to aide his father, right?

Well, think about it: the Prince rolls everything up. Starting off small, with things like coasters and traffic cones, as his katamari grows he sets his sights on bigger objects.

It seems weird that in such a kid-friendly game that this would be an odd thing to notice, but it's behind the colours that we realise what a tiny little murderer the 5cm tall little prince is.

Of course, you could do everything in your power to avoid rolling people up. There are enough objects to feed the katamari and help it grow. The problem is, it grows regardless, as you're eventually rolling up towns and even continents.

And what happens to the finished katamari? Why, it becomes a star, naturally. A ball of molten plasma in the sky.

So for all of your attempts to save lives from a gigantic ball of fate, it makes no odds in the end.
