00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're taking a look at 10 Frightening Bosses We've Encountered

00:11in Games That Weren't Horror or Horrored Adjacent.

00:28Ancient Sirehound, Pikmin 4 Aside from the Dandori battles, Pikmin 4 evokes

00:44much of the peaceful, calming moods of previous games.

00:47Some boss battles will spike your stress levels a bit, but the real terror comes in the form

00:51of one giant poppo known as the Ancient Sirehound.

00:56Despite his shaggy dog appearance, the Sirehound's piercing red eyes indicate a more violent

01:01demeanor is about to unfold.

01:03The beastly canine utilizes some fierce elemental attacks and will give you little time to react

01:08and counter his abilities.

01:10Hope you've refined your Dandori skills enough.

01:17The Crawler, Fable 3

01:26Not to get too real, but we've all been through at least one situation where someone

01:30you knew becomes a completely different person.

01:32That's exactly why fighting the Crawler was way more terrifying than it seems on the

01:36surface.

01:37Not only do you have moments where the Crawler is saying horrible things in Walter's voice,

01:42but you also hear Walter's cries for help as you're trying to defend yourself from

01:46his possessed attacks.

01:47It honestly makes Fable 3's final moments kind of emotional, albeit a little uncomfortable.

01:55Shadow Teddy, Persona 4

02:09There was already something off about Teddy when we first met him in the Midnight Channel.

02:13Though he is a good egg, his shadow counterpart may as well be a demon straight out of hell,

02:19or Five Nights at Freddy's.

02:20In addition to the hateful things he says, Shadow Teddy has a traumatizing appearance

02:24with his shattered face, hollow stare, and roaring.

02:28Even after emerging from this battle okay, this darker version of Teddy has forever burned

02:32itself into our minds.

02:39Jacques, Spyro the Dragon

02:45When we first played Spyro, we thought Nasty Gnorc would probably be the most terrifying

02:49boss in the game.

02:50Nah, he's dumb and pathetic.

02:53Dr. Shemp is scarier than him.

02:55But Jacques is the boss that has effectively managed to live rent-free in our heads since

03:001998.

03:01The whole clown schtick was bad enough, did he really need to have a creepy smile and

03:06sharp teeth too?

03:08Maybe it's the PS1's visuals that are making him scarier than he actually is.

03:12Nope, we take it back, Jacques is just as frightening in the remake.

03:19Mimi, Super Paper Mario

03:27If body horror and spiders aren't your speed, then you might want to look away for this

03:32one.

03:33The Paper Mario games have taken some creepy turns in other entries, but nothing disturbed

03:38us more than Mimi.

03:40Until the boss fight against her, Mimi has put on this troublesome little girl persona.

03:45But when she finally decides to try and stop Mario once and for all, everything turns garish

03:50quick.

03:51Only way this could have gotten worse is if she started skittering around at top speed.

03:55For some of us, that head turn was enough to turn the Wii off for a few hours.

04:00Or maybe a few days.

04:07Monster Ock, Spider-Man

04:18When playing a Spider-Man game, one would imagine the scariest possible thing would

04:22be Venom, or maybe Carnage.

04:25No, as soon as you see something like Monster Ock, nothing in Spidey history will ever come

04:31this close to being nightmare fuel.

04:34We know this is just Carnage with Doc Ock's body and tentacles, but the NOISES this thing

04:40makes is haunting.

04:43What's worse is that you have very little breathing room to run away from him, and none

04:46of the barricades do anything to hinder him.

04:49Yeah, this was enough to keep us up at night when we were kids.

04:57Queen Vanessa, A Hat in Time

05:07Though Shadow Teddy managed to instill fear with his chilling gaze, A Hat in Time takes

05:11that stare a step further with Queen Vanessa.

05:15As you explore the manor, Queen Vanessa's ghostly shadow will stalk the halls and rooms,

05:20searching for you as you attempt to escape.

05:22It isn't enough to just avoid whatever room she's in, some interactions will alert her

05:27and cause her to head straight for the room you're hiding in.

05:30Your only means of defense is to hide or run away.

05:33Either way, this whole section was a complete left turn for A Hat in Time's overall cute

05:39and lighthearted nature.

05:45Vortex Queen, Echo the Dolphin

05:48Oh look at this game, with its cute dolphin and pretty ocean graphics, this should be

05:57a fun game to play.

05:59That's what you all thought back in your cozy Sega Genesis days, wasn't it?

06:03You poor naive fools, the lot of you.

06:07Echo the Dolphin hides a sinister and menacing boss fight that feels like it was ripped straight

06:12out of a Ridley Scott movie.

06:14Look at the Vortex Queen without Echo in the frame.

06:17Tell us, what part of this monstrosity says that this would be perfect for a game about

06:23a cute dolphin saving his home?

06:26We can wait, pause the video, I'll look for your arguments in the comments.

06:36Giygas, Earthbound

06:42If you have ever heard of Earthbound, you almost immediately think of the popular fan

06:46theory about Giygas being an unborn fetus because of the background during his boss

06:50fight.

06:51Thing is, that isn't exactly the reason why he's so terrifying.

06:54Be afraid of the Rorschach test on display all you want, but the real terror is in how

06:59Giygas doesn't exactly have a character model.

07:02The repeated tile pattern on display sort of indicates he's practically an alien entity

07:07more than anything else, a being greater than anything beyond our comprehension, a truly

07:13unexpected sight in a game about kids fighting dogs, robots, and sentient semi-trucks.

07:26Every Villain in the Franchise, Kirby Series

07:29We're not quite sure what Masahiro Sakurai and his successors have been smoking, but

07:39Every single Kirby game ends with some of the most disturbing boss fights imaginable.

07:45Since 1992, every single Kirby game has ended with a literal nightmare with villains like

07:51Marks, Zero, Dark Nebula, Void Termina, and many, many, many more.

07:58For a cutesy franchise such as this, these final bosses have often taken the franchise

08:02into a sudden, more twisted direction.

08:05Admittedly, it does help every Kirby game stand on its own in presentation and impact,

08:10so maybe going this hard is for the best?

08:20What's the scariest boss you've faced in a non-horror game?

08:23Did it make our list?
