Most Cliché Enemies

[The Blackangel]

We all know them. Over and over in multiple games we see them. From genre to genre, system to system, game to game. Something that was old when it was new. What is the most cliché enemy that you encounter in gaming? To me it's hands down skeletons, with zombies in a solid second place. I don't even want to try to count the amount of games I've encountered both or either of these in. But can't game developers think of something original? A small tweak on it doesn't count. It's still a skeleton. It's still a zombie.

The moment I read the title of this post, I thought "zombies and skeletons." I'll also add spiders to the bunch.

I think you would laugh at the enemies in serious sam. Nothing changed for 4 part of the games.

Raiders, bandits, etc. They’re all over fallout and ES.

I think typical trolls and elves are there for most of the blizzard games.
