10 Video Game Villains Who Didn't Show Up Until The End

Perfect Dark concludes with protagonist Joanna Dark being dropped onto the homeworld of the reptilian alien race known as the Skedars, at which point players catch their first glimpse of the game's final boss - the Skedar Leader.

Despite how tough an opponent the King of the Skedar is, the game doesn't even bother to give the giant creature a cool or interesting name, instead introducing it in the final level of the game with virtually zero fanfare.

Though for most of Perfect Dark the primary antagonist is actually Mr. Blonde - a holographic disguise assumed by Skedar agents in order to pose as humans - he conveniently disappears in the final stretch, at which point the Skedar Leader is subbed in, because reasons.

It's a neat enough boss fight and plenty tough to boot, but didn't we deserve a little more than the last-minute inclusion of an anonymous, steroid-pumped alien King?
