* In ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIII'':
** Any enemy with an M16. They can shred you apart and waste you in seconds before you can get a chance to react. Even if you have full armour and health, you can be killed in seconds if you're careless. Fortunately, the M16 is [[GameBreaker just as devastating]] when it's in ''your'' hands.
** [[spoiler:Mafia goons]] earn this distinction with flying colors once you have earned their eternal vendetta against you. They all have shotguns, and [[TheAllSeeingAI even if you're in a vehicle]], they'll immediately recognize you and open fire. Unless you're driving the [[MadeOfIron Rhino tank]], two or three solid shots will [[MadeOfExplodium end your drive]] in a blaze of hellfire. Additionally, if you're on foot, their shotgun blasts will likely [[ScrappyMechanic knock you down]] and prevent you from moving while they close the distance. They will probably knock you down again if the shots don't kill you. Simply put, after you [[spoiler:kill Salvatore]], you'll never be able to set foot in [[spoiler:the Saint Mark's district]] ever again. Hope you've taken care of those sidequests ''before'' you departed for Staunton Island.

* ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' has several, but the prize goes to the Supersoldiers. Pretty much all of Alex's abilities are melee, and the Supersoldiers shine at this. If you attack them too much, they'll go into a blocking state where they're invincible. Hit them in this state, and they'll break into a combo which can beat off nearly half your health. Because of the button-mashing nature of attacking, you have to pay very close attention not to do this. They also love to grab you, which, should you fail to counter it, will also cost you half your health (though if you're lucky, they might you a less painful move). They can even grab you in ''mid-air'', sometimes even in ''mid-kick'', and ground slam you for, you guessed it, half your health. They can follow you anywhere, see through your disguise, and detect you at range (they're walking virus detectors). They are impossible to grab, except during the block state, and even then you can only flip them over. They also cannot be consumed, period, so all that health you lost trying to kill them is rewarded with a pittance.
** The lesser spiders are the Hunters, especially in the early stages of the game. If struck too much, they turn invincible and go into an attack frenzy, which can very quickly take a lot of health if you don't run from them. They can run faster than you can fully upgraded, and have a tackle move that, if it doesn't knock you down on the first try, allows them to turn on a dime for a second attempt (which probably won't miss). Much like Supersoldiers, they aren't fooled by your disguise (not that any disguise would matter to them), and will ignore all other targets to chase Alex. They take several hits with anything to kill, and often come in groups of three or more. [[BossInMookClothing Leader Hunters]] up the ante by almost constantly being in the "invincible attack" state. You actually have to wait them out, attack, then rinse and repeat.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' (the next-gen version for the 360 and the PS3), not content with being a game of bad controls, bad cameras, BottomlessPits and game mechanics that seem designed to exploit these flaws to the max, ups the ante for The End Of The World, the final story level rush. Strange spheres with more than a passing resemblance to [[LordOfTheRings Sauron]] pop up all over the place. The purple ones act as black holes, sucking you towards them and causing instant death if you make contact with them. The orange ones throw boxes at you, often with pinpoint accuracy, causing you to lose your rings and stop momentarily—making you easier prey for the purple ones. How demonic and spidery is this? See [[http://www.viddler.com/explore/pokecapn/videos/46/ here]].

* In ''StarWars: TIEFighter'', the A-Wings. Here's a quote from GameFAQS: The A-wing was a nasty little foe and the hardest rebel starfighter you could come up against in the original TIE Fighter (sans expansion packs). For those not well-versed on their ''Star Wars'' lore, the A-wing is a Rebel interceptor, a fast, dagger-like ship armed with laser cannons and concussion missiles and with engines unmatched by anything in the Empire's basic arsenal. In TIE Fighter, these little monsters were blindingly fast and incredibly maneuverable, capable of outrunning and outflying every player ship until the TIE Advanced found its way into the storyline. This incredible speed, combined with its compact chassis, made the A-wing incredibly hard to destroy. Even the anti-starfighter concussion missiles, usually a guaranteed kill, were useless against the A-wings, which would nimbly evade the missiles until they self-destructed. Not only were the A-wings difficult to kill, they were also dangerous, as the concussion missiles THEY packed could shred your unshielded TIE faster than you can say, "I'm your father"!
