Aside from bosses, what's your least favorite creature to come across?
For me, it'd have to be either Moneyes (those one-eyed squids that keep coming out of their nest) or those darn starfish in the Veil.
-
The red wall-squid things that fire homing bolts for the first half of the game, easily.
As for overall.. either the ultimate nautilus (not the boss, the big ones you find later on), or the mutant ceiling crab things in the Body, or the purple poisonous frogmen.
Oh, the weird floating blob thing with the tons of little black protection fish are annoying, too. I just swim past them now :(.
Why do you hate one eyes? They are a great source of eyes AND eggs!
-
I died to them a lot early on...
But yeah, now that they're essentially a cake factory to me, I don't mind 'em quite as much.
Also, if you eat the nest in Beast form, you shoot Moneyes. Very nice.
-
The "weird floating blob thing with the tons of little black protection fish" was a piece of cake if you just ate the fish first.
I would agree with the stars though.
-
thirded for the starfish. However they also get my vote for coolest enemy design. I mean, ninja starfish? Nothing beats that (besides the bosses, as well as the turtles with removable shells whose arses get set on fire...) The mini-nautilus are pretty annoying too. Also, is there any difference between the orange starfish and the odd pink one?
-
Starfish are easy, just sick your pet pirahna on them.
-
do you think the starfish were inspired by the ones in sonic 2? they are very similar in the dormant-on-the-background-until-approached idea.

actually, from the names that they have for the starfish (look in the mods thread), I'd say they were based on a certain pokemon (and no its not pikachu).
at least from the description given, it sounds like those are the ones you are talking about. I think there are only two starfish enemies anyways.
Speaking of pokemon, does anybody think those blue blobs that crawl around on the walls (one of the earliest enemies you will encounter) shooting purple beacons at you, look like one of those pokemon? Tentacruel I think, or the smaller form, not sure which one it was. When I first saw those, I thought hey, doesn't that thing look a bit like a pokemon?
oh yea, to stay on topic here. I don't really have a most hated enemy yet since I haven't gotten that far. However I do have an annoying entity. You know that big black grouper type fish near your home? that guy is always trying to steal food drops. At least if it accidentially eats you, you get spat right out basically unhurt. Although I did manage to do something funny to him. When I was getting that song plant (or song bulb, or whatever), I went above the plant to make sure I get at least one or both of its drops, well, right on cue that guy tries to snap them up, but I was pretty quick and had gotten at least one or both, causing him to go back and forth in a frenzy for a minute or two trying to get the drop, and eventually gave up.
BTW, if you do some singing near him, his eyes will light up to the color of the song. I don't know if there are any songs that affect him though.
-
I don't mean the design, I mean the way they attack.
Obviously they were inspired by Staryu, they look just like them haha!
And yeah, the blue wallsquid things do look like Tentacools. They even have the pink forehead gem things.
-
You know what I hate? Those invisible octopus things. They ain't hard, but boy, do I leap ten feet into the air everytime one gets me! They shit me right up. :(

do you mean the one that is a bit southeast of your home?
Also, I've since edited my previous post while others had posted, lol.
