What are some of the worst enemies in RPGs? I'm talking about the ones you hate to encounter because they fuck your shit up so bad. All RPGs welcome, turn-based, ARPGs, FPS like Fallout/Borderlands.
What enemies cause you to rage when you have to deal with them, if any?

The Black Death, a zombie pallet swap from Diablo are notorious for permanently draining your hp with your attacks.

ambush reinforcements in any fire emblem, particularly awakening lunatic and 3H Maddening, though divine pulse helps

Zombies and their family in Final Fantasy 1. First enemy in any RPG that I can remember actually wincing when I'd run in to a pack of nine because they'd stunlock my entire party. I had two fighters and two red mages, all of them had terrible evasion, so it was always a race to kill a bunch before I couldn't move again.Honorable mention to Sorcerers who had deathtouch, but they come much later and somehow despite being worse, aren't as terrifying because they're less common and appear in smaller packs. Also, you have life magic before you find them.

Anything that damages your armor when they hit you or damage your weapon when you hit them

Enemies with cheap gimmicks that ignore the established game mechanics, predominantly found as bosses.Enemies that outright cheat.

I'm curious, are there any vidya that do Rust Monsters properly?

These faggots, with their "reflact damage" ability.
I mean, how does it even work? I can understand an ability to reflect magical attacks back on the caster, but if you literally hit these bitches with a sword you injure yourself. It's plai retardation.Also, this:

Malboros always feel cheap. Either you know they're coming and are prepared or it's game over.

SMT2 is a horrible game in no small part due to maneaters/Bodyconians.
They are like 10 or more levels above you, magic doesnt work and special attacks do nothing.
Then game doesn't have enough mag to have a party so you are likely running with no team.

I'm eternally traumatized by the enemies in the final zone of DQ2. The golden batboons and also the fire fuckers. Seriously it was such bullshit.
Roguelikes in general tend to always have a couple of game ending stand out enemies.

Nothing makes me sweat like encountering cockatrice or basilisk. Petrification is often a status effect that often destroys parties, and those two often love to use it in most games they're in.
