Succubus
Morrigan
Series: Darkstalkers/Vampire
You knew Morrigan was going to make the list of our favorite video game monsters. As the female face of GI's favorite neglected fighting game series Vampire/Darkstalkers and modern Capcom fighting games, Morrigan has grown on us since the early days of Vampire. She may not have advanced in her wardrobe since the series debut but know that she remains as interesting as ever. We'd love to see her in a modern setting.

OTHER MONSTERS
O
Mummy
Anakaris
Series: Darkstalkers/Vampire
The pharaoh has been around since the first Vampire game hit the scene in 1994 and he's here to stay. He's quirky yet cool, especially if you have an interest in mummies and ancient Egyptian practices.

Merman
Aulbath/Rikuo
Series: Darkstalkers/Vampire
The merman with the plan to save his clan, Rikuo is a favorite and a top-tier choice in quite a few of the Vampire series entries. He's interesting visually and has a lot going for him in terms of backstory. The king of mermen and his lot are a good interpretation of the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Other monsters well-known in folklore and fiction include mermen, ghosts, succubi and mummies. A variety of these creatures are spread out in video games, but you can find the best variety in games such as Castlevania and the Vampire/Darkstalkers series. There is a rogue's gallery of fiends in both games' boss fights beyond those already mentioned here. See our top picks later in this issue's Retro Game Corner.
