Hunters (Halo)
The Halo series has a history of fantastic enemies. Elites are brutal and intelligent, while Brutes will fly off the handle and charge at a moment’s notice. Even Grunts have a special place in Halo’s universe. But every time one of the massive, shield-bearing Hunters shows up in a Halo game, it’s hard not to want to throw your controller at the wall.
Built like tanks with a shield on one arm and an alien grenade launcher on the other, Hunters will deflect anything that Master Chief throws at them. The best way to defeat them is to get behind them, but even that is difficult to do when one swat of a Hunters’ arm will send Master Chief flying. Hunters, like a lot of shielded enemies, delay the battle until you get frustrated and impatient enough to charge them. They are built to annoy you. The only thing that makes the Hunters more frustrating is the fact that they are essentially a swarm of worms inside a suit of armor. That’s right. The thing that’s been kicking your butt? It’s just a bunch of worms.
