History CreepyChild / VideoGames

* Nugget from ''VideoGame/{{Kindergarten}}'' is mostly just a relatively benign {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, but he has his moments. He has the protagonist poison the resident BarbaricBully to death for throwing food at Nugget during lunch, has dug a hole in the sandbox so deep that you'll die if you jump into it without the proper precautions, and he [[spoiler:knowingly summons the apocalypse]] in the secret endings for both the first and [[VideoGame/Kindergarten2 second]] games.

* Gary from VideoGame/{{Bully}} is a tad old, but he fits pretty well in a more comedic sense. Sure, he's a sociopath, but he just loves being a sociopath so much that you can't help but laugh with him. Well, [[spoiler:until he's caused the entire school to become a warzone and strips you of all your allies. Because A) he's crazy and B) he knows you're a threat.]] But still, he's so fun when off his medication.

%%** Several Fairy Tale Girl trainers in ''Videogame/PokemonXAndY'' come off this way. The pre-battle sprite makes it even worse.

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'':

* The character simply called "the boy" in the ''[[VideoGame/GadgetPastAsFuture Gadget]]'' series. This perpetually expressionless child appears at the start of the game to switch briefcases with the player character and frequently reappears for the rest of the story, where he's shown to be able to appear and disappear anywhere and float through the air. Some characters who have been exposed to the brainwashing machine "Sensorama" have also seen the boy, calling into question if he's even real or if he's just an illusion. Only two entries in the ''Gadget'' series offer some definitive explanation for ''what'' he is: the spin-off novel ''The Third Force'', which has him be [[spoiler: a part of the series' AppliedPhlebotinum, Xenium, taking on a human-shaped form,]] and ''Invention, Travel, and Adventure'', which alternatively reveals that he's actually [[spoiler: your handler, Theodore Slowslop, secretly watching over you to make sure you complete your objective.]]

* From ''[[VideoGame/NintendoWars Advance Wars: Days of Ruin]]'', we would like to introduce Penny, whose interests include explosions, and... actually, mostly just explosions. Don't worry, Penny likes you. Unfortunately, Penny has a tendency to do what Mr. Bear says, and Mr. Bear HATES YOU!

* Samantha Maxis from ''VideoGame/NaziZombies''. There's a reason she's called the Demonic Announcer, or according to [[BreakingTheFourthWall Tank]], "Devil-Voice!" Then there's her laugh when you get the Teddy Bear from the Mystery Box.

* ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'':

* The character simply called "the boy" in the ''[[VideoGame/GadgetPastAsFuture Gadget]]'' series.

* [[BlackMagicianGirl Lymle]] of ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheLastHope''. Mostly due to her CreepyMonotone and doll-like face invoking the UncannyValley. Although she has a good reason for being like this: [[spoiler:She once accidentally sent herself to Hell with her symbology and it broke her completely.]]

** Dogen is a friendly kid, but he is [[AmbiguousDisorder a little odd]] and has no problem blowing up a group of squirrels who he thinks are telling him that he'll kill everyone.

** There's a villager's daughter in danger of possession in a basement in Honnleath.
** Arl Eamon's son Connor, who ''is'' possessed, is as creepy as they come.

* ''VideoGame/DigimonSurvive'' has Haru and Miyuki, a pair of mysterious young siblings assisting the group with surviving [[TrappedInAnotherWorld the Digital World]]. Miyuki is an EmotionlessGirl who speaks only a few words at a time, with her slightly-less-emotionless younger brother Haru doing most of the talking for them. They weren't always like this, as the story begins with the two and their {{mons}} fighting ''something'' in the FogOfDoom and Miyuki apparently CameBackWrong.

::: : And she is right. In ''Twilight Princess'', set about 100 years after ''Ocarina of Time'', you are trained in sword techniques by the Hero's Shade, the embodiment of ''[=OoT=]''-Link's regrets. The shape of the Shade? A Stalfos.

* About half of the cast from ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' probably counts, since we're talking about a game that's set in a [[AcademyOfAdventure summer camp for psychics]]. Special mention to Crystal and Clem, who are incredibly enthusiastic about [[spoiler:their suicide pact]]. This trope also comes into play when you talk to any camper [[spoiler: who doesn't have his or her brain]].

* About half of the cast from ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' probably counts, since we're talking about a game that's set in a [[AcademyOfAdventure summer camp for psychics]]. Dogan [[SubvertedTrope seems like the most notable]] [[TheWoobie ...but he's just so adorable]]. Special mention to the StepfordSmiler pair, who are incredibly enthusiastic about [[spoiler:their suicide pact]]. This trope also comes into play when you talk to any camper [[spoiler: who doesn't have his or her brain]].
