31 terrifying monsters and enemies from video games

6. Gears of War 3 – Lambent Humans or Formers

Gears of War 3 was full of Lambent creations that morphed the common locust enemy into something more dangerous and powerful. It wasn’t until later in the Gears 3 campaign when we find out Lambent can infect humans which makes for a scary encounter along with a  memorable mission. Lambent Humans or Formers were victims of the lambent virus which started in the city of Mercy.

Unlike other lambent infected locust, formers attack in large masses due to being weaker while alone. Their weakness is not to be underestimated as players can easily be swarmed if not careful. The best way to dispatch these ghouls is to use a fast firing weapon such as the lancer or retro lancer. Aim for the head, and it will do massive damage almost completely disintegrating them.

7. Far Cry 4 – Pagan Min

At first glance, it would be easy to look over Far Cry 4′s protagonist as the average dictator who the player is up against, but if you look deeper into Pagan Min, then you will find a psychopath many would be too terrified to meet. In just the first scene with Min, we see his ferociousness with one of his own men. He instructed his men to stop the bus rather than shoot it and just for that, the commander is stabbed furiously with just a pen.

As he stabs his commander, he is screaming that he had one job. Just this act alone shows that Min is not to be messed with. And then, to turn back to the player and give them a hug is outright insane. He apologizes for the shooting and acts if everything is just fine. Pagan Min is an absolute maniac that I would be hesitant to talk to or interact with.
