11 Terrifyingly Iconic Horror Video Game Characters

5. Chainsaw Ganado (Resident Evil 4)

17 Whilst the chainsaw-wielding Ganado received something of a cameo in Resident Evil 5 by way of a burlap-sack wearing enemy chasing you down that games African village setting, most will remember the instant heart-pumping moment they first heard the chainsaw roar into life right beside them in Resi 4. Whilst not receiving an adequate title outside of variations on €˜Chainsaw Man€™, this original version of the character still did wear a burlap-sack, and showed up in a variety of situations throughout the game, the most intense of which being when four of them show up at once, forcing you to utilise the games then-revolutionary shooting mechanics to take them all on. You didn€™t succeed first time though, no one did. Instead another €˜gamers memory€™ is watching protagonist Leon Kennedy€™s head get stuck on the rusty blade, before popping off and rolling across the floor accompanied by the vintage Resident Evil €˜Game Over€™ screen.
