8 Powerful Video Game Enemies That Became Weak Playable Characters

5. Terry - Dragon Quest 6

If ever there was a name to put fear in the hearts of your enemies, Terry ain't it.

Seriously it's up there with the main baddie from Psychic Force being the deadly and terrifying KEITH (he was so close to being on this list as well thanks to his shocking unlock downgrade).

However, Terry etches out Kieth for the simple fact that by the time players get to add him to their party in Dragon Quest 6, the only good thing about his arrival is the weapon he carries, which makes for a rather awkward moment where you simply take the Sword Of Ramias off of him and then bench him for the rest of the game.

It's a real shame as well because when he's fulfilling the role of a secondary antagonist, Terry is a bit of a badass! Thanks to making a pact with the true evil of the game, when you get to face him head on it's a rather challenging boss battle, and when combined with his ability to be just one step ahead of you in several key moments of the story, kinda makes you feel like the NPC to his story!

Unfortunately, that chapter is closed hard when you unlock his now depowered form, as while he has one class maxed out, by this point in time your party has mastered multiple classes making Terry into a bit of a dud.
