10 Coolest Henchman in a Game

10. Grunts Halo

The Grunts in Halo just add the right amount of humour with the right amount of technique that you want in a smaller enemy, they will attack you straight on, alert everyone that you're there, grab a turret and cause you all sorts of trouble, Scream and they will often trap you with a grenade where you either have to lunge in at tonnes of enemies or take a grenade to your spartan crotch.

They add a lot of single player value to gamers especially in Halo Combat Evolved, AKA Halo 1. You can find them asleep, and you can either surpass them and deal with them later, or you have to wake a whole bunch up and really make the game that much more interesting. The Grunts are something I thought should have been playable characters in the Multi-Player.

9. Skullwalltulas-Zelda games

I hear a lot of people complain about the Skullwalltulas in Zelda Ocarina of Time and Twighlight Princess, but for those of you who do, imagine the game without them. They own the first little bit of your time in Zelda games and they pose a real threat that if you think about it, they aren't too bad, but as easy as they are, the rewards are great, but they will ultimately punish you if you mess up with bad timing, or pressing the wrong button combination. Usually people get through them if they've played many Zelda games, and they grow a custom to these undead spiders.

8. Troll Witch Doctor-Warcrarft

These guys could not be ignored on the henchman list. they are so useful, so funny and lets face it, sooo cool. you start of with them and they respond to you clicking on them saying "who called for the docta". They fight with the orcs and whether that makes sense or not they are great units.

Troll headhunters are their inferior who are goofy but not necessarily funny.

Troll Witch doctors are good mixed units with Melee which in warcraft the orcs are based on melee with a few exeptions. The "doctas" are trained in the Spirit Lodge, and share the lodge with Shaman, which I don't understand because Shaman are so uptight, my goodness. No they just take their job more seriously.

Anyway, they are helpful, and maybe under-used, though not under-loved.

7. Combine-Half Life

No you dont combine these enemies it's pronounced like "calm-byn" with of course the silent E.

These guys are, unlike warcraft, always your enemy. They are chasing after you, Gordon Freeman, for whatever crazy plans they have to kill you, you are putting halt to their plans for the destruction of mankind.

Boy do they have that scare appeal. Nothing is more thrilling than sitting down and fighting freaky guys in gas masks. Perhaps the masks add the lack of Identity or lack of knowlege you have of them that will send chills up your spine.

The game is fast pased when you want it to be, but you can't hide behind cover for long when dealing with the Combine troops. The cool concept that the game has is the four enemys. the Zombies, the Combine, the ant lions and the ressistance. You'll run into zombies fighting ant lions or ant lions fighting combine or combine fighting zombies, and you can use them against eachother (not with in-game instructions, but you wild imaginations) and maybe leave one alive to fight and hold off the stronger force to help you indirectly. the Combine are really an awsome sort, if you get to know them.

6. Cops-Grand Theft Auto

Yes the Games of Grand theft auto you can go around completing missions and satisfying your inner soul, or you can go around killing random innocent civillians, and when the police arrive to beat you with rather hard batons, you have to kill them for your own survival.

The police are the funniest concept of an enemy, just because they walk around in their nice blue suits and all serious, but really it's just a game and the polie are portrayed as jerks, payoffs and if not they will hold shotguns at you and shoot to kill. You have the choice of fooling around and trying to get your stars up to fight stronger forms of authority, you go through like I said police with thier batons, then hand guns, then rangers with shotguns, then helicopters with heavy guns and after that you will fight the swat and then the Army.

The cops need some credit, when there's 30 of them at once, they might just catch you.

5. Chainsaw Ganados-Resident Evil

The Scariest type of person is the person with a chainsaw, but these guys aren't even people, they are infected with a virus causing them to do saddlers will. Dr. Salvador however, is the leader of the Chainsaw Ganado, supposedly the richest guy in town. You can't help but freak out about these guys and with your friends you will have some, "remember the chainsaw guy?" moments.

These guys surpass illuminati, and Prisoners in my books, because they do one hit kills with the chainsaw and in a trapped room they are more lethal than any other enemy.

4. Koopas-Super Mario

Yeah Koopas are awesome, you know it!

Koopas brainwashed by their evil master Bowser to search and Derstroy Super Mario at all Costs. Sure it doesn't seem like it all the time but the koopas are evil, and Bowser has obviously captured princess peach and they should at least slow Mario down shouldn't they.

No they aren't the scariest, or the funniest, but they have a place in everyones heart in gaming, they are priceless and really in the old games they are quite stupid. The AI has always been thick skulled, but the game actually puts that into the originlity and puts the Ai (which doesn't realize that it will fall off a cliff if it walks any further) in perfect places to put the challenge on you, and even when games were side scrolling narrow and you couldn't rome, Super Mario gave you all sorts of choices to make during the game.

3. Stormtroopers-Star Wars Games

Have you ever dreamed about force pushing a stormtrooper into a wall 50 feet away?

Stormtroopers take all the beating in the starwars movies, and games, so I think they deserve third.

They have that look about them that you could just throw them down a cliff, sorry if that scares anyone. They are the kick the cat syndrome of the games, you get mad or your character does, well why not rip apart a storm trooper for no charge.

I really look forward to the new Star Wars game coming to stores 08 or 09 call Star Wars: the Force Unleashed because they really take a beating in it.

2. Terrorists-Metal Gear Solid

They don't see you coming, hopefully, but they might hear a noise, ask if anyone saw something (in your general direction), or they might see you and send every one of their comrades after you, but you're solid snake, you can handle them right? well the answer is that you can't get away with being caught through the whole game without dying, but you can get through it without dying if you have those special stealthy skills that few have.

The henchmen in all stealth games cause tension, but in the king of stealth games they are the most comical, tense, and difficult to get around.

1.Croc-Donkey Kong

Lead by King K. Rool, the seemingly unbeatable army of crocodiles?

Yes Donkey Cong was a hit on the NES and brought it's own series on the SNES where Donkey Knog was the good guy and he fights against the Crocs. the games are memorable in every ascpect and really should be made in the next gen on Wii. too bad that the game is not but it is such a hard thing to get your head around. Donkey Kong 64 was a great game but then again country 1,3 and 3 are way better, but I don't know how much you agree that the Crocs from DK are the best Henchmen, but they showed everyone that AI could be smart and still be equally vulnerable.
