Is there a specific enemy type or monster you like in vidya? personally I always like fighting werewolves, they look cool and are usually super aggressive and fast. Usually I hate killing dogs in vidya but werewolves are fun to kill.
Skeletons are also pretty cool but they are as common as bats in games.

I can't imagine you've played many old video games. A fate worse then death in most cases of a vidya game that does it that I'm aware of does not involve showcasing any torture, if torture is the fate then it is implied to have happened but is generally not shown.

He's right, even adventure games with no horror themes would have at least one game over which was essentially you starving to death or drowning. Completely alone. And text adventures would gleefully explain your untimely demise, some would just straight up send you to hell. I think there is that one Ultima game where you play the bad guy where you have to go through hell and you can fail where it describes what being in hell feels like. If that kind of stuff turns you off then there is a huge swathe of games which are essentially unplayable for him.

Zombies, genre itself is a guilty pleasure but few games do them right. Dead Rising makes them harmless for an individual bases. But as when you start fighting crowds it gets overwhelming and at lower level you feel a sense of dread and powerlessness. The classic zombie. Dead Space, more like alien/zombie hybrids but very interesting nonetheless. They are creepy and unique, most of what i think of em have already been said in the thread. Everyone the game shared a bit how their biology worked it intrested the shit out of me, was like candy. Left 4 Dead, fast easy to kill, and in crowds by yourself was very overwelming (unless you where at a chokepoint) unless you where with your team. Game is fairly scary by yourself because at any moment you could be overwelmed.
Also like games with shadowy enemies, Heartless from Kingdom Hearts does this fairly well. Like the dusks to, when i first played the second games they seemed so mysterious and orderly(?). Alot of jap games make enemies similar to Dusks. Also like enemies where they are fuggable especially if you can make them your ally somehow

The SMT franchise has some of my favorite monster designs. I'm a sucker for mythical creatures, spiritual beings, forgotten deities; it's the coolest shit. Kaneko's interpretations of the various sources he pulls from always feel spot on. A lot of them are human in form, which is cool because it fits the narrative of the games (Gods would be in the image of man after all), but they all have distinct silhouettes and personalities. Above all I think the human aspect of the designs are important because the aesthetic they give is always "off" in some way. They're some kind of perverse, holy, unsettling, robotic, wild, or demonic take on what the human form. It's all good stuff, really. I'd like to become a drawfag to make cool monster designs like this one day.

There's loot rats in Warhammer End Times that drop healing items, bombs and die that increaces your chance of better loot when the level is complete.
Makes the entire team rush to kill it for the loot, makes the game more challenging because it's directing attention away from other enemies, and more rewarding/punishing if you fuck up.
Honestly it's a great addition and I can't for the life of me understand why L4D wouldn't have such a feature.

Personally I like everything horror-connected. I love skeletons, werewolves, vampires and fucked up abominations. Not only in horror games but in horror-themed games as well. I wish there were more fun horror-themed games. I would really want to play something light hearted and maybe comedic in tone but involving ghosts, werewolves as wolf girls prefferably, cute girl vampires and more games that focus on monster hunters like Bloodborne.
Also, fuck why aren't there more Gothic Horror-inspired games? Prefferably with spooky ghosts and unexplained Poe-esque situations rather than werewolves and vampires which are cool too though.

Fighting them can't be heavily scripted shit like God of War or unsatisfying shit combat on MMOs.

Highly agressive mostly gas mask/helmet wearing faceless soldiers who actually use tactics against the player and describe the firefight as it happens IRL with radio distorted voices and military jargon.
HECU/Replicas from Half Life/F.E.A.R come to mind, Prototype could have done this and yet didn't which dissapointed me greatly.

I like monsters that are iconic to the series, aesthetically pleasing in some way and fit their environment. Monsters from Mario Bro. or early Sonic games come to mind. Final Fantasy, Shin Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest series is a perfect example of this comfortable iconography. I also like monsters that draw faithfully inspiration from an assortment of real mythology such as Yōkai. I often prefer cute aesthetics but its not essential.

I love fighting enemies that are very similar to the MC in terms of moveset, race and appearance, and that are very strong, skillful and do cuhrayzee kewl shit. It's incredibly fun to fight these.
What I mean in examples:
Shadow Link from Ocarina of Time that motherfucker who jumps on your sword after you attempt to thrust, making you wide open
Jetstream Sam from MGR throws you around bare-handed with superior judo skills, even attempts to stop your sword with his palms
Artorias from DS a pretty radical Guts rip-off jumping around with a bit large sword and spraying weird corrupted liquids
Vergil from DMC3 not the most memorable boss gameplay-wise, but it was fun fighting him
Also I like enemies that are big, brutishly strong, agile, preferably not goofy-looking and are really hard and enjoyable to kill, like:
Kalameet and Red Wyvern from DS1
That giant weird eyeball from Dragon's Dogma DLC and the Dragons from vanilla
Giant MTs from ps1-ps2 Armored Core games
