10 Video Game Villains Who Actually Killed The Hero

Rather than restricting you to a single character, Until Dawn has you controlling multiple protagonists, with its story jumping back and forth between their different, yet equally-terrifying experiences atop Blackwood Mountain.

And because of this approach - combined with the fact that your decisions can lead to different narrative outcomes - it's actually possible for every single hero to be dead by the end of the game.

And the villains responsible for most of that bloodshed are the Wendigos, pale and disfigured creatures who love to consume human flesh. Depending on how you play, you could be treated to one of many scenes of Wendigos killing the heroes, from Sam getting impaled through the stomach with a Wendigo's spindly arm, to one of them pulling off Chris' head - a particularly gruesome scene.

The Wendigos are pretty frightening because they can't be reasoned with or controlled (and they're bloody hard to kill to boot), making them an appropriately nightmarish villain for Until Dawn's take on a teen slasher story.
