9 Incredible Video Game Bosses You Never Got To Fight
6. Dr. Loboto - Psychonauts
Doctor Caligosto Loboto is a mad ex-dentist who's hobbies include brain extraction and flaunting his knowledge of dental medicine.
Loboto forces his assistant, Sheegor, to bring him brains so that he can use them to pilot his death tanks - a noble, villainous goal.
He is the main villain throughout most of the game, and his eventual demise doesn’t quite fit with what we were expecting, but it does emphasise just how bizarre Loboto was, and Psychonauts as a whole.
Sheegor brings Loboto a brain, but it is in fact the brain of her beloved turtle, Mr. Pokeylope, who commandeers the death tank and knocks the Doctor off a cliff, with the equivalent effort of a sharp poke.
It’s a ridiculous, dramatic, over-the-top sequence that, although being fun to watch, is disappointingly out of your control.
We do get to give Pokeylope’s brain a little leg-up into the death tank, but as far as taking down the villain goes, it would have been great to be the one to kick Loboto right in the shins for all the trouble he’s caused.
