12 Most Bizarre Boss Battles In Video Game History
9. Titanic Toddler - Zombies Ate My Neighbors
As you'd expect from a game of this name, Zombies At My Neighbors pits you against all manner of creatures you'll recognise from all your favourite horror movies; a classic assortment of vampires, werewolves, Cthulhu-esque squid creatures and, er, giant diapered toddlers. That's right, a recurrent boss of this game is a colossal deceptively speedy baby that tries to stomp you and squirt you using its human-sized milk bottle. To be fair, despite catching you completely off-guard with its sheer strangeness, it is easily the most horrifying thing in the game and so kind of fits into this horror-themed shooter. Just think about how awful babies are, then expand that by 100. You also know for a fact that if a baby was 20 times your size and able to walk, then it wouldn't hesitate to try and crush you, just out of infantile curiosity. The weird yet catchy offbeat music, interspersed with a child-like 'Uh-oh' at regular intervals, puts you into a strange trance for the duration of the bizarre encounter. When you snap out of it, there's a good chance you'll be questioning whether the whole battle actually happened, or whether it was just a bad dream symbolising your innate fear of children. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_efPyO-AsM
