20 Video Game Enemies Designed To RUIN Your Day

Video games are supposed to be fun right, right?

For many people, the perfect way to unwind after a long day at the office is to sink into the sofa, controller in hand and explore some mysterious new world and tackle the kind of challenges that can only be resolved with a sword and shield. 

So imagine the frustration when the calming oasis of the post-work gaming sesh is absolutely ruined by a common garden-variety enemy whose sole purpose is to ruin your day - which just so happens to be what this list is all about!

The enemies featured here today may not be the biggest, they may not be the strongest, but they're certainly the ones who might be responsible for the highest amount of controllers ending up embedded in TV screens. Be it through unfair status effects, overly high damage outputs or even being able to kill you in a single hit, these enemies will ensure that your blood pressure remains high whenever you're in a fifty-foot radius of them. 

So, find equip your best weapons, strap on your best armour and take a few deep breaths, because things are about to get infuriating. 

Chances are, you heard the signature screech of these annoying gits the second you saw the picture of them. 

Debuting all the way back in 1996, the Pokémon series became a near-instant global success with the now iconic Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow games capturing the hearts of millions of children worldwide. To this day, people still reminisce over their first journey across the Kanto region, although there's one collective memory that still boils the blood of many a Pokémon trainer.

Upon entering the caves of Mt. Moon, you'll almost immediately come across a Zubat. Then another, then another and then another. The caves are quite literally swarming with the things, and whilst they're not the strongest Pokemon out there, their large numbers, screechy entrance and overzealous use of Supersonic will soon have you contemplating which wall you'd like to redecorate with your Game Boy Colour. 

Supersonic is especially annoying as it has a fairly high-chance of confusing your Pokemon, which in turn can lead to them unintentionally attacking themselves, leaving Zubat to watch on in delight as it whittles away at your best Pokemon's health pool. 

Best to use some Repel for your next jaunt through the caves.
