The elite squad within Frieza's henchmen, compromised by the strongest of his men and those with unique abilities.
Whether it be Mario vs. Bowser, Jedi vs. Sith, Link vs. Ganon, or Elves vs. Orcs, the forces of good are in an eternal battle with the hordes of evil.
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.
This concept involves a character of the hero archetype that at some point in the storyline, turns against the forces of good and becomes evil or is revealed to have done this in secret at some point in the past.

The Locust Horde are the main enemies in Gears of War with multiple types to crush the COG military. It is unknown whether the Locust are truly indigenous to Sera, but it is known that they will die for control of Sera.
The Lucent Brood or the Lucent Hive is a Hive sect found within the Court of Savathûn. Uniquely among the Hive, the Lucent Brood have been gifted with the powers of the Light and are capable of raising some of their members from the dead as Hive Lightbearers through the use of their own Ghosts.
The concept of affecting the universe through supernatural methods, breaking the fundamental laws of science.
Games that feature an antagonist--someone who opposes the game's protagonist--that is a man.
Misanthropy is the hatred and fear of human beings and humanity in general.
The Morphs are a race of shapeshifting reptilian humanoids that have infiltrated human society and influenced it's governments and colonies. After being defeated by Conrad B. Hart, 50 years later, They have enslaved most of humanity and fight a war with the Mandragore resistance. They are also responsible for the extinction of an alien race simply known as the ancients. They are the main antagonistic force of Flashback and it's sequel, Fade to Black.
Genetically evolved humans, animals or aliens.

Poes are ghost-like enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. They often look different in the various games they appear in, but they are always depicted as floating spectral creatures carrying a lamp.
