Beasts!

[Dragon]

Video Games often have certain unforgettable creatures, animals, or any form of beast that you either befriend, play as, or of course, have to kill! Whether that these beasts can talk, or not, perhaps we like them enough anyway to always leave them in our video gaming souls.

So the question here is, which video game animals/creatures/beasts leave the best impression on you, or in other words, which are your favourites? Er, pardon my wording on the question if it doesn't make sense, haha. But, I'll give you an example on a one of my favourites:

The Kongs, like Diddy kong and Dixie Kong! They've been some of my favourite animals in video gaming ever since playing their DKC games. Course my favourite is forever DKC2 and Tropical Freeze, they're always a great bunch of monkey and apes to play as, and they each have their own abilities like Diddy Kong can fly on his rocket barrel, and shoot peanut guns, while Dixie Kong can hover with her pigtails. Also they have the BEST opening theme if you've played Donkey Kong 64. Listen to it, if you haven't. :3

Prinnies, dood! What could be cooler than exploding penguins? I've never really used Prinnies in any Disgaea game, but I liked the small but important role that they play in the Disgaea series, and the cameos they make in other Nippon Ichi games. They even got their own spinoff games. There's something extremely satisfying about chucking one Prinny and causing a chain reaction in others nearby.

...and let us not forget Pringer X, Pringer Z, and Prinny Baal. Oh yes.

Does anyone remember...

BAKI'S?!

Very nifty creatures from Drawn to Life, that wore adorable little hats and were kinda deadly as you progressed forward with the game. Sure, they look cute, but give them half the chance and they'll bombard you with baki bombs! >:(

Definitely my favourite little wee beasties.

Oh yeah, Raposa are cool!

Oh my god, Drawn to Life was one of my favorite games growing up. Thanks for bringing me down memory lane, mate.

Oracle of Ages was my first ever Zelda game, I fondly remember a winged bear mount called Moosh

This lovable chicken.

The first creature that made me smile profusely was Torchic and Blaziken is what made me stay.

I've got a few

Spoiler:

Panzerhund (Wolfenstein: The New Order)

These things always managed to make me jump when they inevitably came out of nowhere and ended up just inches from splitting your skull in their huge jaws. Not technically animals, but close enough.

Spoiler:

Frostbite Spiders (Skyrim)

I'm not afraid of even the biggest spiders in real life, but these things always manage to make a dungeon a few hundred times less pleasant for me. Especially with that weird almost clanking noise they made as they moved.

Spoiler:

Turtles (Crysis)

Best weapon in the game, 11/10

I remember a few, but the ones that captured my heart and still have a special place in it are these little guys from Overlord:

Spoiler:

I still remember the first time I tried this game, at a friend's house. I kept dying because I was too busy watching these guys doing stupid things.

There's also the broodmother from Dragon Age: Origins (I'll let you guys google that if you don't know it) because I loved the whole quest and the story behind the birth of the broodmother.

Also, Chocobos. I love Final Fantasy too much to forget Chocobos.
