A Scottish goblin that soaks its cap in the blood of its victims.
A ferocious vampire sect revelling in their monstrous nature, at war with basically everyone.
A sacrifice is the act of offering something (item, health, creature, blood, etc.) to a higher power or a greater good. In games, this often guarantees some sort of favor in return.
Often found in either very violent games, or games taking place in or around water, Screen Splatter is a visual representation of blood, water, strawberry jam, or other liquids temporarily obscuring the player's field of vision.
One who murders three or more people within a relatively short time span.
Strategic dismemberment allows players to separate an enemy's limbs from its body without killing it, disabling limb-specific functions.
Modification of the body for grave medical purposes or otherwise.
Popularized by franchises such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill, these games typically involve a strong implication of danger, vulnerable protagonists, and disturbing monsters.
An aesthetic sub-genre of fantasy, focusing on brutal barbarians and arcane wizardly magic.
Games that suggest players take a break from playing. This is a common feature in Nintendo games.
The yakuza are Japanese organized crime syndicates. Members are often identified by their elaborate tattoos.
Anguish of body or mind. Can be used by authority figures to extract sensitive information that would not be given under normal circumstances.
Blood mages, the most feared and mysterious of all vampire clans.
Incredibly grotesque, but incredibly useful.
Vampires are undead, nocturnal creatures that subsist on blood. They have superhuman powers and are sometimes able to shape-shift. They are weak against sunlight, foreign objects stuck in and left in their hearts, decapitation and sometimes holy water and crosses.
Humans aligned with Chaos, they are one of the chief minions of the four Daemon gods in Warhammer Fantasy and Age of Sigmar, each one being larger, stronger, and deadlier than a mere mortal.
The blood stains or visible bullet holes/knife slashes on a character models body.
Zombies, more accurately called the walking dead, are reanimated corpses who feed on the living, and have become a ubiquitous video game enemy. They often move slowly, but can be deadly in large numbers, which is unfortunately how they tend to travel. Shotgun time!
