Welcome to April Fools Month, fellow Otaku & Metalheads!
All throughout this month, I am dedicating each & every post to the forces of comedy & humor. Everything that’s getting put up will be funny in someway. As I was working on my Grim Reaper overview, I realized unintentionally that I was making something silly, so with that impulse in mind, I figured I’d make a brand new theme month. Today’s post is definitely goofy, but it’s also a little dirty & nasty at the same time. I think it’s a safe bet to say that when we play games, we come across plenty of enemies that leave us queezy. It’s even worse when a boss makes our stomach churn. Thinking about this, I compiled the list you see below. The top 5 bosses in all of video games that make us disgusted, sick, and downright nauseous. This is just my opinion, nothing more & nothing less. So grab your barf bucket & ginger ale, and take a look at the 5 nastiest bosses in all of video games. Let’s begin.
5) Spontaneous Bootay - South Park: The Fractured But Whole (Boss)
To be perfectly honest, I was considering leaving this behemoth of a boss off the list. Why? In comparison to the others on here, she not exactly overtly stomach churning.....just really disgusting. Now I have some girlfriends that are bigger in stature, and even I can’t deny in finding fuller women attractive, but with Bootay? She takes fat to another level! It a weird way she’s kind of mesmerizing in how her body jiggles & shakes whenever she moves, which in turn is what makes this fight funny, but at the same time it makes my skin crawl, and that one aspect of her gets the biggest stripper of the Peppermint Hippo onto this list.
4) The Butcher - Diablo 1 (Boss)
From a rather tame boss, we finally get to one of the truly nasty ones. I think it’s a safe bet to say that one of the most iconic bosses from Blizzard’s output in the 90s was the Diablo classic known as The Butcher. Emerging from his slaughterhouse filled with dozens upon dozens of mutilated townsfolk (And perhaps beyond), this rotund & horned demon is ready to carve up anything it happens to spot. Dressed in only a heavily stained butcher’s apron, he grips a cleaver that is unusually large, and stained with the blood of every victim he has slain, and let’s out the now iconic words “Ahhhhh, frest meat”. Even when you actually down this monster, his slaughterhouse will still stand until the end times, filled with an awful amount of charnel. The Butcher more than deserves his reputation as a deadly & disgusting boss.
3) Dead Space - Hive Mind (Boss)
Now we get to something that’s particularly unsavory.
Perhaps what makes the Hive Mind so particularly disgusting is the fact that you’re given little previews. Upon hearing about the existence of the brain on the Necromorphs, the wheels of your imagination kick into overdrive, as your mind is flooded with thoughts as to what it could be. Then, in the final level, you gaze upon the titanic form.....and it is quite horrific. Take every form of Necromorph you’ve seen up until this point, mash them all together, and you get the Hive Mind. To make things even more nasty, you first have to blast off some of it’s eyes. Then it grabs you in an attempt to eat you, and you’re hanging upside down while you’re blasting off it’s remaining eyes. Then, once you finally do, you have to go for it’s abominable heart. And all the while you’re battling this corpulent & titanic monstrosity, you have to gaze upon how terrifying it’s form is. Though the next 2 games would definitely have ugly & nasty bosses, it’s the Hive Mind that stands out over all the rest, and it’s the one that sticks in my head the most as well.
2) The Great Mighty Poo - Conker’s Bad Fur Day (Boss)
Much like Spontaneous Booty, The Great Mighty Poo is another example of a boss that’s definitely on the funny side. The biggest difference between a morbidly obese black stripper, and a animate pile of shit, is that......it’s a giant animated pile of shit! To be honest, the journey to reach this boss is just as bad, as Conker has to swim though pools of diarrhea, and walk through smelly muck to get to the Poo. Hell, you defeat The Great Mighty Poo by throwing toilet paper into his mouth, then having to reach a pull switch to flush him away. The only reason that The Great Mighty Poo is not at the number one is because in addition to being incredibly disgusting, he also happens to have a surprisingly good singing voice....and he makes me laugh.
(Side Note: Is it just me, or does the censoring in the remaster somehow make the encounter funnier?)
1) Orphan Of Kos - Bloodborne (Boss)
I don’t think any other boss could have made it here. Orphan Of Kos is the nastiest, disgusting, most revolting boss not only in Bloodborne, but in all of video gaming period. For starters, he’s not introduced in a normal matter (As normal for Bloodborne, that is). Instead, you happen to see the dead body of it’s mother on a decrepit beach front, it’s titanic form laid out for the player to see. After that, you’re taken over to a side of Kos, being slightly more bulgy than the rest. Then the bulge moves, and then you realize that you’re witnessing a birth.
But not to a beautiful baby boy mind you. After a moment, you see what is basically an old man get pushed out of an alien womb, complete with a horrific afterbirth. His body is covered in slime, and the placenta that kept it alive still firmly attached. It manages to get completely pushed out, and it’s first act is to standup, look at the grey sky, and proceed to cry. Even worse, the cry sound like that of an old man on his death bed, further etching in your mind just how disturbing this boss truly is.
Even worse, The Orphan Of Kos approaches you slowly at first, but then unleashes a surprising burst of speed, screaming at you like a lunatic. On top of that, it actually uses the placenta as a weapon, and will tear off pieces of it to use as a ranged weapon. As you’re hitting the orphan, some of the screams & howls sound like an old man in pain. Things take a turn for the exceptionally creepy when you get the orphan’s health down halfway, when it suddenly grows flapping leathery wings, and decides to two-hand it’s placenta in an even more furious attempt to kill you. Though I’ve never played Bloodborne, I can safely say that the Orphan Of Kos makes my stomach churn every time I watch the fight, and thus it gets the number one spot on this list.
So these were what I consider to be the top 5 most disgusting bosses in all of video gaming history. Everybody else will probably have their own list of the most disgusting video game bosses, but these are my top 5. Well, I’ve got my Wrestlemania 34 review next week, and afterwards April Fools Month continues onward. See you then!
