good article GR but i think you should of added the centaur from fallout cause its one of the creatures that makes you go "what the hell is that... is it human!"

Where's the monsters from The Suffering? They are pretty freaky too. Some of them more than the ones in the list.

For best effects, read in a David Attenborough-style voice...

Excellent article by the way...

Where the heck is the Brood Mother from Dragon Age: Origins... if that thing isn't freaky... I don't know what is?

Regenerators... scary shit right there. My friends and I would scream, and keep screaming, until we finally killed whatever one was chasing us.

DMC had some pretty interesting creatures, like the 'nobodies'.

Actually, Resi 4 had a lot of good horrifying creatures. Salazar's right hand, the Beserkers, and especially 'It'.

@Xplosive: I agree, Centaurs are way freakier than Ghouls.

umm.. in my opinion it seemed like towards the end, you guys drifted away from the professional motif you were aiming for at the beginning of the feature. It was still a good and funny feature, but you lost some of the humor and scientific vocabulary along the way

I believe the Leapers tail would be used much like a spider-monkey's since its not very well adept for attacking. Grasping onto poles and other such protrusions in the destroyed confines of the Ishimura.

no fallout 3 centaurs?!?!

Wow. I just wanted to say that this is a really good, really well-researched article. Matt clearly knows his biology.
