20 Most Terrifying Video Game Enemies Of The Decade

Like FromSoftware's other Soulsborne titles, Elden Ring is full of creatively horrific enemies. From the mechanical Virgin Abductors that can swallow players whole to the spidery Fingercreepers that wait in ambush, this title constantly walks the line between fantasy and horror.

The Shadow Of The Erdtree expansion was likewise brimming with even more enemies that were just as terrifying as they were dangerous. The scariest of them all were unequivocally The Aging Untouchables, which are found within the eerie Abyssal Woods.

The game lets players know that there's something deeply wrong with this area as soon as they arrive. Not only does trusty steed Torrent become too frightened to be summoned, but the developers also leave foreboding messages instructing players to stay out of sight and avoid combat.

These warnings are there for good reason. Players must carefully sneak by these patrolling cosmic terrors. If detected, they'll immediately race towards players while inflicting fatal Madness build-up. If they catch players, they'll unleash a devastating grab attack that can take them out in a single hit.

While it's possible to kill these freakish foes by parrying their grab attacks, they instil more panic than any other FromSoftware enemy.
