The Devil - Cuphead Released back in 2017, Cuphead is a classic
run and gun action game heavily focused on boss battles.
What makes this game unique is that it's inspired by cartoons of the 1930s; ie. traditional
hand drawn cel animation, watercolor backgrounds and original jazz recordings.
Anyway, the main antagonist of Cuphead is The Devil himself.
Yup, that’s right.
The Devil is the primary reason Cuphead must embark on a dangerous journey in order to
keep his soul -- which results in Cuphead having to confront The Devil in an epic boss
battle.
Throughout the game, The Devil watches Cuphead while he’s on his journey -- and during
your battle against this hellish creature, he will take on multiple forms during his
attacks.
You have been warned.
Trust no one.
4.
Mundus Mundus is the main antagonist and final boss
in Devil May Cry -- a hack and slash video game published by Capcom and released back
in 2001 for the PlayStation 2.
The game centres on Dante, a demon hunter who uses his business to seek revenge on demons
after losing his brother and mother.
Back to Mundus though -- he is known as the Prince of Darkness, and is a devil prince
who ruled the Demon World two thousand years ago, overthrowing the previous ruler of the
Demon World and threatening the human world.
During his battle with Dante, his appearance takes on the form of a gigantic living statue
of an ageing, muscular, bearded man with enormous feathered wings, resembling figures such as
Zeus.
Additionally, Mundus often appears as three glowing orbs arcing with energy.
He is depicted as the epitome of evil within the Devil May Cry universe.
He has no compassion and with act without regard.
Essentially, this dude is straight up evil -- and your battle against him will be challenging
to say the least.
3.
Cyberdemon Released back in 1993, The Doom franchise
is a series of first-person shooting games, focusing on the exploits of an unnamed space
marine operating under the auspices of the Union Aerospace Corporations, who fights hordes
of demons as well as the undead.
Now, Cyberdemon was released in the very first Doom game, and also appeared in several other
games, including the Doom sequels, Doom RPG, and Wolfenstein RPG.
Cyberdemon is described as being a “half unfeeling machine, half raging horned devil.
This walking nightmare has a rocket launcher for an arm and will definitely reach out and
touch you.”
-- Chills.
Now, in the very first Doom, Cyberdemon is the toughest boss you will come across, with
4,000 hit points, which is equivalent of 40 direct rocket hits.
That’s a lot.
Cyberdemon also returns in Doom II: Hell on Earth, where he is depicted on the cover art
and the title screen.
2.
Pyramid Head First introduced back in 2001 in Silent Hill
2, Pyramid Head, also known as “Red Pyramid Thing” is a fictional character from the
series and also the main antagonist -- who stalks James Sunderland, the primary character,
who comes to Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his dead wife.
Pyramid Head ultimately represents James’ wish to be punished for the death of his wife
-- with the game, particularly the second, utilizing psychology and symbolism.
The designer of Silent Hill 2’s monsters, stated that he created Pyramid Head because
he wanted a monster with a hidden face.
What makes him even more terrifying is that his head is concealed by a large triangular
helmet, almost like a cone.
He lacks a voice, and his appearance seems to represent the town’s past as a place
of execution.
So, do you want to go up against this faceless demon?
1.
Calamity Ganon The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was
released back in 2017, and is the nineteenth installment in the Legend of Zelda series.
The game takes place after the events of Ocarina of Time and occurs in the most recent age,
long after any of the previous episodes.
Calamity Ganon is the main antagonist and penultimate boss of Breath of the Wild, and
is found at the Hyrule Castle.
According to the Zelda wiki, he is the incomplete form that Ganon assumed when he was interrupted
while trying to reincarnate himself.
Nightmare.
He first emerged in the distant past, but was ultimately defeated by an army of mechanical
Guardians and four massive mechanical constructs called the Divine Beasts.
Now, his appearances is initially that of a boar-shaped specter made of Malice, and
possessing an enormous mouth, tusks, and glowing yellow eyes.
However, in the penultimate battle against Link, Calamity Ganon appears mindless, and
it’s heavily implied to be the result of his attempted resurrection.
In his Dark Beast Ganon form, Calamity Ganon is bestial and driven entirely by hatred and
malice.
Essentially this dude is pure evil, and you do not want to come across him in a dark,
damp cave.
Well, there we have it!
