20 Most Terrifying Enemies In Video Game History

7. The Variants - Outlast/Outlast: Whistleblower

A colorful group of inmates, this lot.

Variants are so called due to the entirely unpredictable effects of the experiments they've been subjected to which altered their physical appearance/minds in ways that could be called 'highly deteriorative' at the very least. They're a mostly psychotic pack of animals with interests ranging from good ol' fashioned murder and pyromania, to cannibalism and necrophilia.

Choosing the scariest of the group is like picking your favorite flavor of psychopath, there's really no safe answer. Personally speaking? It's the one-two punch of Dr. Richard Trager and Eddie "The Groom" Gluskin that really stuck with me.

Dr. Trager, a lunatic who fancies himself a surgeon, makes his intentions known the moment he casually slices off two of your fingers, and things go downhill from there. And The Groom, well... let's just say he's looking for the perfect bride, and he doesn't care how many men he has to carve up to make one.
