20 Video Game Enemies Designed To RUIN Your Day

Easily the most iconic and infamous enemy from the Fallout series, Deathclaws are one of the few enemies on this list who really live up to their name. 

The Deathclaws are hulking behemoths created by the US Government in an attempt to create supersoldiers via genetic engineering. The result is a truly monstrous creation that will stop at nothing to kill you. 

Hyper aggressive, huge in stature, and capable of dealing truly horrendous amounts of damage with a single swipe of their claws, they're truly intimidating when you first come across them. They're typically relegated to high-level areas, which means that you should encounter them when you're at a level adequate enough to fend them off, but so many players will recount stories of wandering from the beaten path, only to find themselves being torn apart by a Deathclaw that they couldn't escape from. 

Once they spot you, they will hunt you down and you'd best hope that you've got something strong enough to whittle away at their large health-pools. Fallout 4 gave us the opportunity to hop into some power armour to fight them head-on and whilst still terrifying, it was so very satisfying being able to go toe-to-toe with them.
