Gonarch, from Half-Life 1.Pros: The name must mean "monarch of gonads," based on its huge nutsac hanging down and the fact that it throws baby spiders at you.  Wicked tough to kill.  You have to fire surface-to-air missiles at its genitalia!Cons: Impossible to kill until you progress to a certain point in the level, making it feel a bit unfair.   ;  Weapon: Akikios Frying Pan(PSO)Pros: Highly effective killing utensil, made a particular ding on connectCons: Resulted in a few hecklings about Canadians running around with frying pansEnemy: Stalker(Resistance: Fall of Man)It(or the guys within) always seemed to know where you where and its weaponry could rip anything apart from you to airborn support!Weapon: Valentine(Soul Calibur)Pros: Good reach, Wicked CombosCons: Improper timing could result in an ass whooping ;  Easily, the bloodsucker from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.This is a video of the first time in the game where you encounter one:"> Creepy video Weapons:Claws (which they use for hit and run attacks)Tentacles which cause heavy bleedingA roar which chills even the most experienced stalker to the bonePros:Cloaking device (?!)Cons:Even when cloaked they make so much noise it sounds like they have asthema, you can track their movements by listening to their heavy panting.Bloodsuckers are always quite diseased which makes them even more horrible; they have chunks of flesh missing and some of them have a fungus growing on them; others are missing the top of their skulls.M.O:They roam around in underground areas and, when they decide to attack, they "cloak" and become invisible except for their eyes which glow eerily.After playing all 3 games to completion I've become quite adept at hunting bloodsuckers, but the first time I met it in that creepy underground tunnel system it killed me 3 times in a row.   ;  The Scorpitron from Wasteland:Pro: Instadeath for the unexperiencedCon: 16 colors   ;Quote:Original post by BeanDogGonarch, from Half-Life 1.Oooh - placing tripmines under someone's nutsack.
