Bosses are enemies that fight you at the end of a level or at a significant point in the story.
The Cobra Unit was a legendary team of soldiers that were assembled by The Boss in 1942 to combat the Axis Powers. They are the primary antagonists in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Their call signs are all emotions that they best personify when in battle.
The ability for the player to become unseen, from basic camouflage to fully vanishing from sight.
An invisible enemy is an antagonist that cannot be seen under normal circumstances. Sometimes these enemies are only temporarily invisible or can be made visible somehow.
It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto a building, a platform, or a skull, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
Elite and specially trained/equipped military troops and law enforcement tasked with carrying out specific and dangerous/sensitive objectives beyond the remit of regular military personnel. Many games feature special forces operators or units as protagonists or enemies.
An alliance of nations who opposed the Axis powers in World War II. They included the USA, the United Kingdom, the USSR, France, and many others.
A secret organization formed after World War I by the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in the United States, the Soviet Union and China.
A group of villains, each with a different characteristic and ability (or gimmick) that insist on fighting the protagonist one at a time. They may have ridden together, but they never die together.
Experienced soldiers that often feature as mentor characters.
The ability to walk on water. Sometimes depending on a character's speed (IE slowing down will result in them sinking).
Lasting from 1939 to 1945, The second World War was a conflict between the Allies and the Axis. It was the most devastating conflict in human history.
