IronArcturus: Any kind of boss or enemy that randomly disappears/reappears (warps).
skeletonbow: This! Those
ninja assassin chicks from Half-life. Ugh, they're sooooo annoying. I actually abandoned my game of Opposing Force part way through after getting bored of them.
I'll leave
this... ;)
About the topic, I'll saw which ones annoy me the most.
- "Vendor trash" Pokémon which can't be one-shotted because of an ability such as Sturdy (Geodude, Roggenrola, etc.) or a move such as Protect (Pelipper). Or Pokémon which inflict status ailments just by making contact with them (like those with Static or Effect Spore). Or those which encounter rate is ridiculously high (Zubat, Tentacool, I'm looking at you).
- Cazadors in Fallout New Vegas. Really. I remember a run where I loathed them the most, as I rolled a character who used light armor and hand to hand combat. Poison and broken armor were something common.
- Basilisks in Dark Souls. I remember the first time I encountered them. I went head on to them and they exhaled their nasty breath. And my curse resistance was low, so I was cursed. Argh. And curse is a nasty ailment in Dark Souls.
- Marlboro in Final Fantasy X. When I first encountered them they were tough and their breath was awful. My party got confused and slaughtered each other. Nasty.
- Those spirits in Diablo II which drained all your mana. Elite mobs which exploded in a frost nova too.
- Barnacles in Half-Live. First time I encountered them in the Uplink demo I thought it was a climbing rope. I died and I still can't get over it. :(
