Concept »
A night of ghost, ghouls, costumes, and candy. Some video games are based around this holiday, while others simply pay it respect with special levels or characters that embody the spirit of All Hallows' Eve.
Zombified Hazmat members, wearing suits to protect against radioactive material. These guys appear in Left 4 Dead 2.
Henchmen are the loyal grunts caught in between the player and the main antagonist. Without them every game would be nothing more than a boss battle.
The Hive are an ancient alien race in the Destiny universe. They are guided by a religious principle known as the Sword Logic, a doctrine which instructs the Hive to destroy all other civilizations in order to feed the Worms that dwell within them.
Undead enemies in the Fable series. Susceptible to fire and melee weaponry. They also can survive having their head shot off.
Honen are the living skeletons of Torion.
One of the two main factions in the world of Azeroth. The counter part to the Alliance, and led by Warchief Garrosh Hellscream.
"Horde" is a type of multiplayer game mode in which players battle co-operatively against increasingly difficult waves of computer-controlled enemies.
A moderately powerful specimen with a flame thrower as a left arm
Whether a character never ages or is invincible, immortality represents the inability to die. Sometimes this is a blessing, sometimes it is a curse. Either way it usually makes for an interesting game mechanic.
An enemy faction in Warframe. Once humanoids of various races, they have been twisted and deformed by the Technocyte virus, and share a collective consciousness.
These powerful ghouls patrol the Plane of Hate with the ability to Harm Touch the first person to draw their attention.
Hopping Chinese vampires that suck life force.
These once noble monks have been reanimated by Innoruuk to help protect his realm, the Plane of Hate.
They're kleers. They're skeletons. They're faster than you and they have a nasty habit of lunging towards you. They're also big fans of tossing projectiles at you, so don't think that you can snipe them without moving an inch.
An organization of Death Knights, freed from the grasp of the Lich King who regrouped to defeat him.
A lich is a powerful sorcerer who became undead through a magical ritual they cast on themselves. Usually lichdom is achieved to extend their "lives" or give themselves more power. They can control vast hordes of undead.
A process by which one player/creature's health points are transferred to another, particularly via a spell, technique or item.
The concept of affecting the universe through supernatural methods, breaking the fundamental laws of science.
Nameless and disposable characters, who follow commands from whoever they see as their leader or boss.
When monsters in a game can turn on each other after an accidental injury and fight to the death instead of focusing on the player, or when some of the player's enemies also hate each other, and will attack each other on sight.
Drenched in muck, these zombies crawl around all fours, making them difficult to spot. When struck by one, a survivor's screen will be splattered with a muddy effect, hampering a players view.
Mummies are lumbering undead corpses wrapped in bandages. They are often associated with ancient Egypt and may have magical powers or be immortal.
Genetically evolved humans, animals or aliens.
Sauron's most terrible servants. The Nine were once mortal men who one by one succumbed to the power of the One Ring.
A common concept used in World War II games, where the limited knowledge of everything the Nazis did helps create an alternative history.
Nazi Zombies are a combination of two of gaming's main bad guys, Nazis and Zombies.
The Necris are the technologically-resurrected undead race of the Unreal universe.
Necromancers are spell casters who specializes in conjuring and controlling the undead.
Magic or divination involving the dead and departed. One that practices necromancy is generally referred to as a necromancer.
