9	* ''VideoGame/AmericanMcGeesAlice'': In the sequel, ''VideoGame/AliceMadnessReturns'', [[spoiler:the [[GodSaveUsfromtheQueen Queen of Hearts]] now looks like a creepy little girl with [[CombatTentacles tentacles for legs]]. She's designed after Alice herself as a child, to boot.]]
10	%%** The Insane Children. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
11	%%** Alice herself too, maybe. She's definitely creepy, but whether she qualifies as a [[VagueAge child or teenager]] is hard to tell.
12	* Lieselotte Achenbach from ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart''. Wanted criminal in another dimension, and carries around a legless puppet with her sister's spirit trapped inside. And she's only [[EnfanteTerrible ten years old]]. Nope... nothing creepy about that at ''all''.
13	* In ''VideoGame/ArxFatalis'', there is only one child in the only city explored in the game. There's nothing special about her appearance or clothes, but she has this soft-spoken voice which, when combined with outdated graphics (expressionless, pixelated facial features), simply makes your skin crawl.
14	%%* As a playable character, Beatrix from ''VideoGame/{{Battleborn}}'' was designed specifically as such, which is most evident in a number of her disturbing taunts. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
15	* The Little Sisters from ''VideoGame/BioShock1'' are little girls of about five to six years' age who have been turned into living depositories for ADAM, the game's genetic AppliedPhlebotinum. Their bodyguards, the hulking and homicidally protective Big Daddies, are scary enough, but a pallid little girl with a syringe on her arm who takes a childishly cavalier approach to sucking vital fluids out of dead bodies is on a whole 'nother level of horrifying. The worst part, though, is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UUEg4L4jNQ how lifelike they are]] if you stop to watch, especially considering that you're expected to kill their bodyguards for powerups and have the option to kill them for more.
16	-->'''Little Sister:''' Look, Mr. Bubbles, an angel! I can see light coming from his belly! Wait a minute... He's still breathing. It's all right. I know he'll be an angel soon...
17	:: : Despite their creepy appearance and backstories though, their behaviour is somewhat the same as that of a normal child, taking into account their mental conditioning. The creep factor is significantly reduced for ''VideoGame/BioShock2''... because ''you're'' one of their bodyguards. Through his eyes, they're adorable.
18	* Tiny Tina in ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'' is a 13-year-old girl who has some... interesting qualities to her character. When you're first introduced to her, you see her playing a more violent version of "Pop Goes the Weasel" with a bandit by blowing him up with explosives. She later on asks you to fetch a "friend" of hers, who turns out to be a baby version of the monstrous insects you fought in the region, in order to get ready for her tea party. She then asks you to fetch the guest of honor, who is a bandit named Flesh-Stick. She straps the bandit to a chair, has you smack him, and then tortures him to the point where the bandit ''begs'' for the pain to stop, only for Tiny Tina to respond by electrocuting him to death. Her demeanor throughout the whole game has her talking dirty as if she was 30-year-old while still doing little kid things like having tea parties, which adds to the weirdness factor. Considering that the world of Pandora [[CrapsackWorld isn't exactly friendly]], the kid definitely went through some rough times to be what she is today. In fact, you find an audio log in the Wildlife Exploitation Preserve indicating that [[spoiler:she was ForcedToWatch her parents get tortured to death during Hyperion's slag experimentation, and was only able to escape with a hand grenade they helped her smuggle in]].
19	* Pale Luna from ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'' is an emotionless little girl who can turn into an EldritchAbomination through unknown means. She isn't evil though, and it's said that she sought the power in order to help her friends.
20	* 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.
21	* Samantha Maxis from ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyZombies''. 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.
22	* The killer from the SurvivalHorror game ''VideoGame/CampSunshine'' is in adult form in the main game, but in flashbacks you see parts of his childhood, where he was a very creepy child indeed. Somewhat {{subverted\|Trope}}, though, as besides him [[spoiler:being possessed by spirits beyond his control]], he was [[spoiler:actually a rather gentle child, even though he had a deformed appearance]].
23	%%* ''VideoGame/Castlevania64'' tried this with [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Malus]], but they weren't subtle enough to fit into the trope. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
24	* In ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', the young boy Janus and his cat Alfador are randomly encountered by the party in Enhasa. Upon meeting him as a stranger, Janus abruptly and unsettlingly prophesies, "The black wind howls. One of you will shortly perish." Later, [[spoiler:Crono dies trying to protect his friends and Schala from Lavos, fulfilling Janus's prophecy]]. The creepy effect gets kicked up a notch if you realize that [[spoiler:the [[ArcWords black wind]] he mentions is actually the sound heard when traveling through time, and he grows up to be Magus, the primary antagonist until this point]].
25	* ''VideoGame/CliveBarkersUndying'': All of the Covenant children once they were cursed. A particular mention goes to Lizbeth, who bit her nanny and licked her lips afterward.
26	* ''VideoGame/CliveBarkersJericho'':
27	** The Child Crusaders. These creatures are the malevolent spirits of young children forced to march in a crusade, only to be horribly slaughtered. After the Breach is opened in that timeline, the evil of the Firstborn transforms the children's souls into vicious, hateful ghouls, harbouring great anger towards the adults who let them die. They appear as floating, sharp-toothed, pale-skinned creatures with their lower torso missing and their intestines hanging out. They also have no hands, and use the shredded tendons of their arms to attack. They also make very creepy moaning and shrieking sounds, and their disembodied crying can be heard before the Jericho Squad encounters them.
28	** The form of [[spoiler:the Firstborn]] could also qualify. Here you have an [[spoiler:evil, all-powerful, godlike creature who despises humanity, and it takes the form of a small, naked child with glowing white eyes and a distorted voice made up of several male and female voices speaking at once]].
29	* ''[[VideoGame/ClockTower1995 Clock Tower: The First Fear]]'' has Bobby, a ten-year-old with giant scissors who chases the main character around trying to kill her. His face is grey and badly deformed. And there's also his giant, purple, severely deformed brother Dan.
30	* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3'' has Yuriko Omega, a young woman sporting GirlishPigtails & SailorFuku implied to be [[{{Joshikousei}} of high school age]] with PsychicPowers. She was a TragicVillain who was kidnapped and experimented on by the [[JapanTakesOverTheWorld Empire of the Rising Sun]], with the resulting trauma turning her into a somewhat emotionally unstable WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds. Ironically, in spite of all this she's [[CrapsackWorld one of the more mentally balanced characters in the game]] between the bloodthirsty shogun, morally bankrupt Allies and MegaCorp Futuretech.
31	* The ghosts from ''VideoGame/CorpseParty''. Specifically [[spoiler:the Girl in Red, Sachiko Shinozaki, who murdered three other children in Heavenly Host and then let an innocent man take the fall]]. Their spirits were what [[spoiler:created the spirit world of Heavenly Host and]] trapped many others there to be killed as well. Not to mention the reveal of [[spoiler:Sachiko as the murderer is through the eyes of one of her victims... and you realize that she's giggling and essentially experimenting on each victim to see what stabbing them in what place will do. Sachiko is the definition of Creepy Child.]]
32	* While most of the children in ''VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls'' qualify, [[spoiler:Monaca really takes the cake, and not because of any supernatural influence. All she wants to do is create the successor to [[BigBad Junko Enoshima]], and although her original plan doesn't work, she still succeeds in the end.]]
33	* ''VideoGame/DantesInferno'' has the Unbaptized Babies, who also qualify as {{Undead Child}}ren. They move like real toddlers, as a toddler was brought in specifically to do motion capture for them.
34	* ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'': Rudy remarks that Kris used to be "the creepy kid next door," but is now "the creepy kid right in front of me." Although it's clearly just a friendly joke, Kris clearly has a reputation for creepiness in general, to the point where nobody even seems to notice that they've been possessed by the player. In fact, the end of Chapter 1 shows them breaking free of the player's control [[spoiler: and proceeding to begin lurching around like a zombie, before pulling out a knife and smiling at the camera, revealing their eyes to be solid red.]] At the start of Chapter 2 we see the aftermath of the cutscene... [[spoiler: they ate all the pie despite their mother explicitly asking them not to do that. This implies that their creepiness is harmless, though Chapter 2's ending subverts this again with them slashing the car's tires and then opening a Dark Fountain.]]
35	* Nearly every child in ''Franchise/DragonAge'' is creepy, though in a couple of cases one suspects the creepiness was unintentional.
36	** There's a creepy child standing around reciting a creepy poem in a CreepyMonotone in the Haven graveyard.
37	** There's a villager's daughter in danger of DemonicPossession in a basement in Honnleath.
38	** Arl Eamon's son Connor, who ''is'' possessed, is as creepy as they come. Although if the player saves him he grows out of it by the time of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition''.
39	** And then there are the singing ghost children in the Alienage orphanage ("But I'm dying, Ser Willem, Ser Willem, in pain").
40	* ''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. [[spoiler:TheReveal is that Miyuki [[EmptyShell had her soul stolen]] by the BigBad [[TheAgeless 50 years ago]], [[TheyLookLikeUsNow and Haru was her Renamon in disguise]] with the ''real'' Haru being TheProfessor.]]
41	* Sally from ''VideoGame/DragonFable''. She's a cute little six-year-old with blond pigtails... and she plays with the ears, eyes and hearts of zombies. For fun. After the boss is destroyed in the Necropolis Quest, Sally finds the now-abandoned subterranean university-city of necromancers, death knights, and the undead, and claims it as her playhouse. She even creates a cross between a Skeleton and a gingerbread man for the main character to try out for fun. [[http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=15262632 Meet the Gingerdead Man]].
42	%%* Manah swings between this and EnfanteTerrible in ''VideoGame/{{Drakengard}}''. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
43	* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' has Babette, a member of the [[MurderInc Dark Brotherhood]] who is actually a 300-year-old vampire who uses her looks to lull targets into a false sense of security.
44	* The banshee from ''VideoGame/FableII'' attacks by sending "ankle-biters", shadow monsters that look like creepy children with swords and knives, after you.
45	%%* The Indigo Child in ''VideoGame/{{Fahrenheit}}''/''Indigo Prophecy''. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
46	* ''VideoGame/Fallout3'':
47	** Sally from the "Mothership Zeta" add-on. She's a young alien captive who has been held in since before the nuclear war. She [[AirVentPassageway crawls around the air vents]] giving you information and opening doors for you. She knows way too much, and you can see her OneWingedAngel form coming from a mile away... except it never comes. She doesn't even try to backstab you, she is a fully dedicated ally. That said, she also seems very nonchalant about the very evident death of her family and most of the world.
48	** Betty from the "Tranquility Lane" quest. She's the avatar of the sinister Stanislaus Braun in a twisted simulation of the [[TheFifties 50s-esque]] world of pre-war 2077, who has spent decades torturing, tormenting, and toying with the other inhabitants.
49	* The ''VideoGame/FatalFrame'' series has many examples, one of them being Ayako from ''VideoGame/FatalFrameMaskOfTheLunarEclipse''. She's as cute as a button, but there's a ''very good'' reason she was in that mental institution.
50	%%** The child version of Kirie in ''VideoGame/FatalFrameI'', [[spoiler:despite not being a hostile ghost]]. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
51	%%** The Kiryu Twins in ''VideoGame/FatalFrameII''.
52	%%** The Handmaidens in ''VideoGame/FatalFrameIII''.
53	* Alma Wade isn't the villain of a video game named ''[[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon F.E.A.R.]]'' for nothing. Every single time she appears is so creepy that it'll make you scream and jump. And you can't shoot her, since she's a ghost. And it gets worse when she grows up...
54	* Bahamut's Fayth from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''. It's just... the mysterious way he speaks to Tidus, the fact that his eyes are always covered, the fact that he's one of the few characters in the game who actually understand ''everything'', the fact of how incredibly creepy his version of the praying song sounds, due to him being such a small child, the fact that his battle-form is ''a giant, civilization-obliterating dragon-something-hybrid-beast''... This child must've given some people serious nightmares.
55	* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
56	** Henry from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' is an older teenager, but in his DarkAndTroubledPast ([[spoiler:which included him being shunned by everyone in his town, then going on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge when his OnlyFriend (a wolf) was slain by his townspeople]]), he fits here very well. Luckily, after he becomes a member of Chrom's Shepherds, [[CharacterDevelopment interacting with other people normally starts doing him some good]].
57	** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', the BigBad of the game is a ''very'' creepy-looking LittleMissBadass named Princess Veronica, who summons heroes and villains to fight the protagonists Alfonse and Sharena. She's all but stated to be more of a deeply-wounded DarkMagicalGirl, however.
58	* The title character and protagonist of ''VideoGame/FranBow'' acts as a decidedly non-villainous example. She's not evil, but some of her actions and observations are just unnerving. Other child characters in the mental institution where the game starts are the same.
59	* 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]].
60	* [[spoiler:Kamila]] in ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'' acts like a wholesome, happy little girl until [[spoiler:she's possessed by Yomiel and smacks Lynne around with an uzi. Even her character sprite is different, with her hair down to hide her eyes in shadow.]]
61	* ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire'':
62	** One of these ''follows you around'', going by the name of Wild Flower. Although her actions and attitudes aren't creepy per se, one has to wonder what the design team was smoking when they designed her. The fact that she's [[spoiler:the already-dead host of Spirit Guardian Chai Ka and his [[EvilTwin "Other"]]]] certainly doesn't help matters any either.
63	** That game also features a pair of ghostly children who drowned during the flooding of Old Tien's Landing. One of them tries to convince you to help her get revenge on the orphan master who left them to die.
64	* Nugget from ''VideoGame/{{Kindergarten\|2017}}'' 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.
65	* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' has its share of creepy kids:
66	** Roxas and Naminé don't look much more than fourteen, but they have this funny look about them -- possibly related to the fact that they're Nobodies.
67	** ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'' has Ienzo, who never says a word but just keeps staring... and staring... and staring... Because ''Birth By Sleep'' takes place before ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories Chain of Memories]]'', the audience already ''knows'' [[SmugSnake how]] [[MoralEventHorizon he's]] [[EvilOrphan going]] [[MasterOfIllusion to]] [[TheChessmaster turn]] [[CorruptionByAMinor out]].
68	* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': Kula Diamond starts as a very creepy and sheltered pre-teen girl who nonetheless has a good heart underneath all the [[AnIcePerson snow and ice powers]], but barely knows how the real world works due to her upbringing as a guinea pig and assassin for NESTS. She gets better, but she still retains some traces of the trope.
69	%%** [[spoiler:Bao]] is ''not'' one of these normally, but he briefly gives the vibes [[http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/neogeo/c/kof2k1psy.htm in his team's KOF 2001 ending]]. [[spoiler:Though to be fair, it looks like the villain Ron is behind it.]] (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample; Administrivia/WeblinksAreNotExamples)
70	* Annie from ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', in addition to looking rather creepy, can cast advanced magic and animate her toy bear to ravage enemies. Said murderous teddy bear is actually a ''real live demon bear'' that she's ensorcelled. [[FluffyTheTerrible His name is Tibbers.]]
71	* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
72	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' has the little Kokiri girl you meet in TheLostWoods as an adult[[note]]a.k.a. Fado, the first of three characters to bear the name[[/note]], right after the depressed man[[note]]a.k.a. Grog[[/note]] disappears. It's her utter deadpan and the fact that we never do get any further explanation. It gets worse due to FridgeHorror. It's a CrapsackWorld post-TimeSkip... and ''before'' the TimeSkip, this girl was ''perfectly normal'' and one of your friends. What happened to turn a normal kid into ''this''?
73	--->'''Girl:''' That guy isn't here anymore. Anybody who comes into the forest will be lost. Everybody will become a Stalfos. Everybody, Stalfos. So, he's not here anymore. Only his saw is left. Hee hee. [...] Heh heh heh. Are you going to be... too? Heh heh!
74	%%*** The Skull Kids. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
75	** Some of the creepiest children in the series are the ones [[spoiler:that are inside the moon]] from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', because they are ''wearing the masks of all the bosses you have killed''. Especially the child wearing Majora's Mask, which is sitting all alone under a tree, staring into space. This is all [[MindScrew completely unexplained]]. If you look closely while you're forking over your masks to them, you'll see that Link is backing away slightly each time. The questions they ask (recalling the story of the Skull Kid and the Four Giants) suggest that they're all part of the Skull Kid (Or more likely and much, ''much'' worse, [[PsychopathicManchild Majora itself]]), and some of the lines they say are pretty unnerving too:
76	--->'''Twinmold Child:''' Heh, heh... Thanks... You're nice. Umm... Can I ask... a question? Your true face... What kind of... face is it? I wonder... The face under the mask... Is that... your true face?\
77	'''Majora Child:''' ''[right before you fight it]'' Do you want to play with me? OK, let's play good guys and bad guys... I'll be the good guy, and you be the bad guy...
78	::: : The Moon Children all share a distinct semblance to the man who is easily the most terrifying and intimidating character in the whole series. Yes, that's right, it's [[spoiler: The Happy Mask Salesman. Capable of changing position without ever moving, scary when he finds out you didn't get his mask, oh, and when you fail and the moon destroys all of Termina? ''He still comes after you.'']]
79	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' has Malo. Perhaps the reason he becomes an insanely successful business entrepreneur (before the age of 8, on top of that) is because everyone does what he tells them to just to get away from his blank, soulless expression. The fact that his voice almost sounds like that of a grown man really doesn't help.
80	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass'' has the Cubus sisters, who look like little girls in hooded dresses and are scared of spiders... but are for some reason on an extremely creepy haunted ship. Their eyes (unlike Link and Linebeck) are black, with little dots of blue in the middle, and they seem extremely "off" [[spoiler:until the player's suspicions are confirmed and they turn into ghastly grinning flying demons]].
81	%%** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' offers the [[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_hdTMM9qaU Queen of the Fairies]]. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample; Administrivia/WeblinksAreNotExamples)
82	* ''VideoGame/LittleNightmares'': The main character of the game, Six, definitely qualifies. A tiny, malnourished girl in a yellow raincoat, she spends the game sneaking around the Maw, attempting to avoid being caught or eaten. Her hooded face and thin, pale form are unsettling enough, but then there's the subject of her [[HorrorHunger eating habits]]...
83	* Lucius of the game ''VideoGame/{{Lucius}}'', who is essentially [[Film/TheOmen Damien Thorn]] in all but name.
84	* ''Maze 5: Sinister Play'' has a foggy-eyed boy and girl in black Victorian clothing who SpeakInUnison and have RealityWarper abilities.
85	-->'''Boy/Girl:''' Humans are mere puppets for us.
86	* A unique example would be [[spoiler:Ridley]] from ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'', who first appears as an [[spoiler:adorable, fluffy chicken-rabbit-thing]]. He is seen again, simply staring at [[spoiler:Samus]] with the most frightening look ever. He is then seen once again after that [[spoiler:growling and consuming a corpse, only stopping to hiss at Samus]].
87	* The ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' mod ''Bone Kenning: Art of the Thanaturge'' has Lina, a little girl on the second floor of the Kavesk ale hall who's the only unrelated person in the village who isn't afraid of your character. She casually mentions wanting to use a voodoo doll on her mother and is friends with a hobgoblin which can be summoned by reciting a rather... [[IronicNurseryTune interesting]] rhyme:
88	-->Mother's hands at sunset\
89	To tuck us into bed\
90	Cobnell's hands at midnight\
91	And at cock-crow we're found dead
92	* ''VideoGame/NintendoWars'': From ''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!
93	* The titular ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}'' is an eternally depressed child who usually sports an empty, hollow expression on his face, and when he doesn't, [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/58/3c/05/583c054e1cde361485e2f44f068e8331.gif it's usually even worse]]. He is a PsychoKnifeNut and his skills include lovely abilities like freaking enemies out with his ThousandYardStare and [[BreakThemByTalking debuffing enemies by mocking or shunning them]]. To top it all off, he's actually [[spoiler:a mental construct created by Sunny to help him escape his past trauma, and once repression is no longer enough, Omori has no problem [[DrivenToSuicide stepping up his game]].]]
94	* ''VideoGame/Onmyoji2016'':
95	** Ushi-no-koku-mairi, who is stated to be a little girl in her in-game profile, but has voodoo-like powers and some rather disturbing lines.
96	---> '''Ushi-no-koku-mairi:''' [[PreAssKickingOneLiner Curses! Curses! I'll curse you! GYAHAHAHAHAHA!]]
97	** We also have the ''very'' [[BrokenBird mentally]] [[AxCrazy unstable]] Kurodōji, who always speaks in a hissing voice and [[LaughingMad cackles like a maniac]] as he chops up his enemies with his oversized SinisterScythe. The few adorable moments he has just ain't enough to balance out the creepiness.
98	* The arcade sleeper hit ''VideoGame/TheOutfoxies'' features the playable ''{{VideoGame/Ice Climber}}s''-esque siblings Danny and Demi. They giggle like small kids typically do when they run, even if they happen to be packing a machine gun or RPG at the time, and after they've murdered one of their fellow assassins the same giggling sample is played while one of them draws an indiscriminate green squiggly mark on the television set that displays their recently expired target. [[ItMakesSenseInContext It's much creepier in context.]]
99	* ''VideoGame/OverlordII'''s protagonist is the son of the Overlord of [[VideoGame/OverlordI the previous game]]. The beginning of the game will have you playing him as a child. Naturally, he is mostly [[TheFaceless faceless]] and quite malicious, particularly towards the kids that bully him in the beginning. Contrary to other examples of this trope, he looks quite scary and is given the all-too-appropriate nickname of Witch-Boy. Considering that ''VideoGame/{{Overlord}}'' tends to parody fantasy tropes and etc., the rather ObviouslyEvil look the Overlad has is deliberate.
100	* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
101	** The [[VideoGame/Persona1 first game]] has Aki, a girl in black who causes trouble everywhere she goes. [[spoiler:She's the personification of every negative emotion Maki has.]]
102	** ''VideoGame/Persona3'':
103	*** Pharos. Did we mention that he likes suddenly showing up in your room in the middle of the night? Because he does that. A lot. And the fact that he just wants to be best friends forever... ''isn't. Helping.'' In addition comes the fact that his Social Link is [[spoiler:the Death]] Arcana, in a game in which TarotMotifs are good clues to a character's nature.
104	*** [[AliceAllusion Alice]] is a recurring character. She happens to be a HumanoidAbomination with the mind of a young child, massive magical powers, and a disturbing lack of understanding on why, exactly, she ''shouldn't'' kill/eat/drain to death/feed to the darkness/necromantically revive people who want to be her friends. She has a lot of magical potential and is not averse to invoking NightOfTheLivingMooks as a valid tactic. All this while still retaining her innocence and LackOfEmpathy.
105	---->'''Alice:''' Won't you please... [[SignatureMove Die For Me]]?
106	* ''Phantasmat 5: Behind the Mask'' has Thomas, who wears a black Victorian boy's outfit, has a pale complexion and empty black eyes, and chants morbid rhymes in monotone.
107	* ''VideoGame/PityParty'': The protagonist claims that nobody came to the party because everyone thinks she's weird. She spends the game staring silently at the camera while creepy events unfold, and [[spoiler:reveals herself as a demon at the end]].
108	* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
109	** We're about 20 years too late to see it, but Cyrus from ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'' is implied by people who knew him then to have been [[OmnicidalManiac the same as he is as an adult]].
110	** In the Strange House in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'', a building where Ghost Pokémon reside, you also meet a ghost girl. You see her three times while exploring the place; the first two times, she mutters things about darkness and nightmares, and then vanishes. Then, when you find the Lunar Wing in one room, she talks to you, and asks you to give it to a Pokémon before disappearing. [[spoiler:The Pokémon you must give it to is Cresselia, who is found on the Marvelous Bridge; if you want to capture it then, you are able to try. You might also see the ghost girl on the bridge, but she vanishes forever if you succeed in capturing Cresslia.]]
111	** Allister in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Shield]]'' version is a young Ghost type specialist with a quiet, LimpAndLivid manner who's always hiding his face behind a creepy mask, which seems designed to resemble the ghost-type [[https://www.serebii.net/swordshield/pokemon/222-g.png Galarian Corsola]]. He's actually very shy, non-malicious, and even a bit adorable, but he can still be eerie.
112	%%** While a ManChild instead of an actual child, N from ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' is ''very'' much an example with his theme and actions. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
113	%%** Several Fairy Tale Girl trainers in ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' come off this way. The pre-battle sprite makes it even worse.
114	* [[spoiler:PARIAH]] from ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}''. And if the Web of Intrigue is anything to go by, [[spoiler:he's eternally a child, and can kill anything by ''touching them''.]]
115	* Some of the kids from ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' have creepy tendencies. This trope also comes into play when you talk to any camper who is missing their brain.
116	** Milka uses her invisibility powers to spy on people.
117	** Dogen is a friendly kid, but he is a little odd and has no problem blowing up a group of squirrels who he thinks are telling him that he'll kill everyone.
118	** Crystal and Clem are peppy to the point of obnoxiousness, but they're sometimes seen doing uncharacteristically creepy things like mixing poison into drinks or standing on the roof, commenting on how the others will "be sorry". [[spoiler:It's heavily implied the two are suicidal and were trying to kill themselves.]]
119	* The Xenoas from ''VideoGame/{{Requiem}}: Bloodymares'' are essentially a ''race'' of Creepy Children... who were eventually made playable. Childlike bodies, with some creepy physical traits, adult-like intelligence, and a usually-hidden disdain and hatred for all other races.
120	%%* ''VideoGame/{{Robopon}}'' reveals that Dr. Zero and Dr. Zeke were this as children in the second game. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
121	* ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'':
122	** The hero is routinely followed by a silent young boy and his apparent nanny. The boy stands silent with his creepy pallid skin, piercing gaze, and blonde locks, while his caregiver speaks for him. [[spoiler:That ain't no child, but a powerful fallen angel trying to groom the hero to be a Messiah for all demonkind to lead them in their battle against God.]] Nothing too complicated, really.
123	** Alice, the strangely out-of-place AliceAllusion who turns out to be one of the most terrifying spell casters in the game, capable of maxing out the magic stat with ease and casting the single most powerful dark-based 1-hit-kill spell possible.
124	%%* The ''Franchise/SilentHill'' series has practically an orphanage full of creepy children (and an actual orphanage is mentioned/visited in the third and fourth games): (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
125	%%** Cheryl (renamed "Sharon" in [[Film/SilentHill the movie]]) from ''VideoGame/SilentHill1''.
126	%%** Laura from ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'' has shades of this, though she's more bratty than creepy, and her creepyness is born more out of obliviousness than genuine hostility. Which isn't to say she isn't, she just isn't able to perceive the monsters.
127	%%** To some extent, Heather from ''VideoGame/SilentHill3''. She might be too old, however.
128	%%** "Lil' Walter" from ''VideoGame/SilentHill4''.
129	%%** Alessa.
130	%%** The demon children "Mumblers" in the school level.
131	* [[BlackMagicianGirl Lymle]] of ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheLastHope''. Mostly due to her CreepyMonotone and doll-like face. 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.]]
132	* The Narrator from the ''{{VideoGame/Starsiege}}'' cutscenes. The major cutscenes in the game are narrated by a young girl with a British accent and an oddly extensive vocabulary. The opening of the game introduces her with an oddly echoing humming and the beginning of a schoolyard chant, followed by her singing: "Little Lord Peter, missing his liter while Hercy plays in the red. Down came the Glitches and burned us in ditches and we slept after eating our dead." Also, in one of the possible endings, she further narrates, [[spoiler:"It was only a question of time before the Cybrids captured the last human survivors. Now, we're all being systematically eliminated."]]
133	* Eresh of ''VideoGame/SuikodenV''. Being a [[SquishyWizard frail mage]] who is apparently [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld old enough]] to have known [[spoiler:[[FemmeFatale Jeane]] (way, way, ''way'') back in the day]] just isn't enough; she also has to talk about her body as [[GrandTheftMe "this shell"]], too.
134	* The Infernas in ''VideoGame/TheSuffering''. In human form, they're an immortal trio of eerie, smiling children that talk quite candidly about how they play with the souls of your dead children for all eternity. In monster form, they're charred corpses that giggle constantly as they soar towards you on a jetstream of fire.
135	* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': Jojora from ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'', a magical, levitating girl. She appears when you first enter Joke's End amidst some extremely creepy music and starts to taunt you. After a couple of more sightings, she says she's bringing a friend over to play... who turns out to be a hulk many times larger than she is, and the two attack you.
136	%%** Sue Pea and [[EnfantTerrible Chauncey]] from ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion''. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
137	* Soon after you finish the second mission in ''VideoGame/SurvivalCrisisZ'', you have a vision of a greenskinned girl wandering down a bloodstained hallway. This is probably meant to be the first clue that this isn't your typical ZombieApocalypse. [[spoiler:They appear for real in Episode 3. And they have knives.]]
138	* ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'': You only see him in a single brief flashback, but from Nephry's descriptions, Jade Curtiss from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' was ''definitely'' creepy when he was younger. Apparently he liked to experiment on small animals. [[spoiler:And himself. Frequently.]] Much more obvious in TheAnimeOfTheGame, in which he is ''terrifying''.
139	%%** ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'': Presea from when you first meet her up until you [[spoiler:make her a new Key Crest and free her from her Cruxis Crystal]]. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
140	* ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}'':
141	** [[SecretCircleOfSecrets The Keepers]] are a secret order of mysterious men and women who gather in dark places wearing black cloaks with hoods, so it is no surprise that the girl who translates the mystic words of the seer is also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhTDjCtAKRU&feature#t=53s creepy]]. In the ending of ''Deadly Shadows'', [[spoiler:she is revealed to be a monster that wears the skin of a girl it killed decades ago, and infiltrated the organization that worked to stop her]].
142	** Lauryl from ''VideoGame/ThiefDeadlyShadows''. Incredibly creepy voice (being voiced by frickin' ''[[VideoGame/SystemShock SHODAN]]'' helps) and prone to sending you jumping by butting in while you're almost cornered by the {{Body Horror}}s in her asylum "home". There's a also bottle of her still-warm blood in the cellar, despite the fact that she's been dead for years. Yet another reason why the Shalebridge Cradle is still probably the scariest level of all time. Oh, and she's on ''your'' side.
143	* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'':
144	** Flandre Scarlet is a 495-year-old vampire with the [[ImmortalImmaturity body and mind of a child]], as well as mental and emotional insecurities (read as "insane") to boot, who has the ability to destroy whatever she wants by bringing its "Eye" into her hand and then clenching it into a fist...
145	** There is also Mystia Lorelei, who [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs loves to sing. And loves to eat humans. And loves to sing about eating humans]]...
146	** Rumia normally wouldn't have classified for this trope, seeing as she's too moronically inept to be of any actual harm, but one must never forget that she ''is'' a [[ToServeMan maneating]] {{youkai}}.
147	* Sayo Samonji from ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'' has an obsession with revenge that definitely makes him this. This is due to his DarkAndTroubledPast, since (being the [[MoeAnthropomorphism personification of a real sword]]) he was stolen, used by robbers and killers, and finally used in a bloody murder that was fueled by revenge.
148	* ''VideoGame/TuroveroTheCelestialTower'': On the tower's fourth floor, Leilia and Ruby come across a pale, traumatized little girl. While Ruby is initially suspicious of the girl, Leilia insists on helping her, both out of compassion and to keep her under watch until they determine her true motives. [[spoiler:Turns out, their initial suspicions were spot on -- the little girl is actually Mortia, a Guardian of Turovero who, along with her "big sister" Viveca, is trying to break the heroes' spirits and force them to leave the tower. To really cement her creepy status, her eyes turn pitch black just before her boss fight, and her weapons? VoodooDoll-like effigies of the protagonists, which she can twist and tear to cause damage.]]
149	* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'':
150	** [[spoiler:Chara]] is hinted to have been one when more is learned about them in [[spoiler:the video tapes in the True Lab and from Asriel at the end of the True Pacifist route, where we learn about their hatred of humans and their ThanatosGambit]]. Then at the end of the Genocide route, [[spoiler:we get to meet Chara. While most characters' text appears with an "accent sound", Chara's is completely silent, and while [[CheerfulChild smiling happily]], they tell you that the purpose behind their reincarnation is power, just before [[OmnicidalManiac destroying the world]] and only agreeing to restore it if you [[YourSoulIsMine sell them your soul]]]].
151	** Frisk also qualifies in the Genocide route, since [[EvilMakesYouMonstrous they no longer become recognisable as human]].
152	** [[spoiler: Asriel/Flowey]] counts for this trope as well. While [[spoiler:Asriel]] is normally as sweet and friendly as a kid could be, an untold time spent [[spoiler:without a soul and festering feelings of regret about having spared some humans' lives]] made him cruel and vindictive. The fact that the strongest words he ever uses are "idiot" and "stupid", as well as the motivation behind his antagonism being [[spoiler:his inability to let go of his "best friend" Chara]], ultimately make him still seem childish despite his frequent nightmarishness.
153	%%* All five of the Weaver children from ''VideoGame/{{Wick}}'', but especially Lillian, Tim, and Tom. (Administrivia/ZeroCotextExample)
154	* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'':
155	** The notorious Children of Goldshire are a group of six children who live in an upstairs room in one of the houses in Goldshire (an otherwise peaceful, low-level human settlement). They sometimes make trips to nearby Stormwind, ''except that they always form a group shaped like a pentagram'', and if you go upstairs to their room, the mellow tune suddenly gives way to ominous ambience. People have reported hearing strange voices in the room, and some players end up spooked to such a degree that they swear to never enter it again.
156	** Pamela Redpath, a ghostly girl in Eastern Plaguelands, although she's a lot more [[TearJerker depressing]] than creepy.
157	** A non-human example: Wrathion, the purified black dragon. In the ''Mists of Pandaria'' era, he was ''two years old'' and already well-known for being manipulative, and had players murder his remaining family, including his father Deathwing. His human form was a short human male, who looked like he was in his early teens. His dragon form was a tiny baby blackwhelp... the kind players spent the entire game farming for mini pets.
158	** Abby Lewis, a little girl wandering around a deserted village in the middle of a witch-hexed forest. She enlists your aid in gathering her toys for a "tea party", all the while being far too cheerful and upbeat for her spooky surroundings. Midway through the quest chain, she disappears as you start discovering the remains of the villagers, while hearing her voice making little rhymes about them. Finally the time comes for the tea party itself, which turns out to be a summoning ceremony for a creature you naturally have to fight off. Abby vanishes after that.
159	** In the [[BadFuture horrific vision of Stormwind]], the player can find orphans standing over the corpse of their matron in a pentagram shape like the above-mentioned Goldshire children, playing hackeysack with her skull and speaking in creepy rhymes. The shadow around them and the fact that the various forces and abominations don't react to their presence at all suggests that their youth made them no challenge for N'Zoth to corrupt.
160	* Albedo from ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'' was this when he was a kid. He was clingy towards his brothers, namely Rubedo, beat his other brothers up a lot [[note]]Though that was only because he thought they could regenerate like he could[[/note]], and was overall just an incredibly creepy child... which only got worse when he came into contact with U-DO and went insane.
161	* ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'': Ayano was like this as a child, due to not feeling emotions. She learned how to fake emotions to avoid bullying and make her father (who was obviously upset that she [[ItRunsInTheFamily took too much after her mother]]) happy, which, arguably, makes her ''creepier''. This extends to high school, where she feels her first emotions upon meeting Senpai and embraces her {{Yandere}} heritage.
