Opening this up to the forum; what is your least favourite monster in Resident Evil? Can be either because they are an absolute nightmare to deal with or they may just have a strange design that doesn't look right to you.

Or for whatever other reason!

I've never been keen on the Uroboros monsters from Resident Evil 5; I get that in context they're supposed to look like an uncontrolled writhing mass, but from a boss point of view a blob of tentacles with obvious looking weak points isn't the most creative choice.

There's a human body in there somewhere, I swear!
 
It's been a long while since I've played Code: Veronica, but I seem to recall the Sweepers being pretty lethal..?

..to be honest I've not been a fan of the "mutations" since they appeared in Resident Evil 4 with the Las Plagas after removing the head of a zombie.. It felt a bit of a cheap tactic to increase the difficulty to me. The leeches in Resident Evil Zero weren't much better, mind you.
 
The Crow I find most annoying and it's my least favourite. I find them as annoying as Keese in Zelda.

That said they are good at what they do and when they come for you I find them harder to dodge than Zombies, sometimes. :v

I guess calling them my least favourite when they're doing a good job sometimes of actually attacking me probably isn't fair on them, after all they can at times in my opinion provide a good challenge, though sometimes in certain areas they're really easy to outrun and avoid. Also in Spencer Mansion when you're doing the portrait room puzzle and they're all sitting there quietly... just waiting for you to mess it up. :oops:
 
Uroboros gets my vote too. I never liked those monsters, they just seem so... uninspired.
 
I have a new found hatred of Hunters, particularly in the original remake after one killed me during an attempted no-save playthrough! 🤬😂

Even on Easy mode with Jill, you're dead after just 2-3 attacks. It doesn't help that they're lightning fast and can jump toward you either, it just adds that extra element of unpredictability in trying to deal with them and especially if there's more than one.
 
With the recent remakes being the freshest entries in my mind, my vote goes to Lickers - you're supposed to be quiet around them since they can't see, yet it seems that I'm never quiet enough and they always catch me rapid... So I just try bomb it past them when I see them now :D
