20 Most Terrifying Video Game Enemies Of The Decade

The Resident Evil series is brimming with some of the most fearsome stalker enemies ever created. As profoundly menacing as Mr X, the Baker family, and the monstrous baby were, none of them compare to The Girl from Resident Evil Requiem.

A gigantic deformed creature with an appetite for human flesh, this enemy torments new protagonist Grace Ashcroft when she wakes up in the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Centre. Arming players with only a lighter and a handful of small bottles to use as distractions, Requiem throws them straight into the deep end as they sneak around the dark hallways, listening out for The Girl's shambling movements while  praying she doesn't drop down from the ceiling in front of them.

Although players are left completely defenceless against this enemy, they can escape into the safety of the light when spotted. However, even the bright Safe Rooms won't provide protection forever. The lights will eventually go out, triggering a heart-racing chase as players desperately try to flee the area.

This whole sequence sets the tone for the level of intense terror players can expect going forward. As traumatic as this encounter is, this enemy only gets more formidable from here.
