10 Video Game Villains That Don't Say A Word

While not technically villains - as they have no villainous motives - the Big Daddies can make for a frightening foe if you mess with their Little Sister charges.

They were once just men, put through a gruesome process to create the perfect bodyguards for the Little Sisters - young girls put through an equally horrific transformation. Together, the two lumber and prance (respectively) through Rapture, harvesting precious ADAM from dead bodies.

When provoked, the Big Daddies come at you like a linebacker, crashing through anything in their path just to stab you with a drill the size of a fourth grader. They live up to their name, being nearly unstoppable without the use of clever traps and ambushes.

While far from "quiet" (what with all the smashing of things and people), the Big Daddies are, by design, completely mute aside from guttural groaning. As you discover during one of the game's most interminable moments of overstaying its welcome, the process of becoming a Big Daddy involves both the shredding and removal of one's vocal chords. Considering that, and so much more, their Hulkish rage is easily justified.
