Metallic Footsteps + creepy background music + not knowing where it is sometimes + 1-3 shot deaths depending on where you are in the game = Terrifying. I played the part where you drop in on it in the purple green plant area at night without noticing that it was a part with this nightmare of an enemy.

5 Sans - Undertale Sans or Sans the Skeleton is a character in the 2015 RPG Undertale created by Toby Fox. He is a lazy, pun-loving skeleton who is a supporting protagonist in the "pacifist" and "neutral" routes of Undertale, and a heroic antagonist/final boss of the "genocide" route. He is known for his incredibly difficult boss fight, bad puns, and the phrases "geeetttt dunked on!!!" and "you're gonna have a bad time." He is also named after the font "comic sans." Known for also being Ness from the Mother series. (known as Earthbound in Western territories.)
6 Handsome Jack - Borderlands 2
7 Spoiled Rotten - Wario Land 4
8 Drawcia - Kirby: Canvas Curse

Candle Cove, is that you?

10 Mr. Zsasz - Batman: Arkham Asylum
The Contenders
11 Herobrine - Minecraft Herobrine (Pronounced HEH-roh-bryn) is the subject of a community-made creepypasta. He is one of the major community icons of Minecraft, yet Herobrine has not been present in any version of Minecraft. The first story and image ever posted about Herobrine, as well as the Brocraft stream, are regarded as canonical. Things posted after these two events are considered fan-made adaptations and variations.
12 The Neighbor- Hello Neighbor
13 Sora - Kingdom Hearts
14 Axel - Kingdom Hearts
15 Simba - Kingdom Hearts Simba is a fictional character who appears in Disney's The Lion King franchise. Introduced in Walt Disney Animation's 32nd animated feature film The Lion King (1994), the character subsequently appears in its sequels The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998) and The Lion King 1½ (2004).

I swear to god, TLK characters should never be in a video game, let alone the KH series as a whole are terrible.

16 Xemnas - Kingdom Hearts

I never understood the whole fan hype of Organization 13 and other Kingdom Hearts villains. They're nothing but worthless pieces of garbage that have no hearts, no emotion and no soul, thus the characters all deserve to die.

17 Professor Pyg - Batman: Arkham Knight
18 Little Sister - Bioshock
19 Cathy Pillar - Um Jammer Lammy
20 Man-Bat - Batman: Arkham Knight
21 King Boo - Luigi's Mansion
