Video game protagonists aren't always smiley-faced elves in white tights and jovial plumbers. In fact, sometimes game heroes look even more menacing than their own arch enemies. Without further ado, read on as we explore the twelve most sinister-looking main characters in games.
What he looks like:
Pale skin is either a sign of albinism or that you're some sort of unnatural fiend sent from the depths of hell to wreak havoc on those who have pigment in their skin. And due to Alucard's blood-sucking fangs, one would likely guess that he's the latter.
Who he really is:
Unfortunately for Castlevania's Alucard, he is not a fiend sent to eradicate humans, meaning he is most likely the world's first and only albino vampire with a heart of gold. Hopefully he's also the last.
What he looks like:
Remember when Sonic the Hedgehog was the video game mascot with the most 'tude? Well, in today's gaming market Sonic's brash demeanor is hardly edgy, so in order to make hedgehogs relevant again Shadow was given sharp teeth, a gun, and a black coat of hair. Evil overkill?
Who he really is:
In reality, Shadow hates to see adorable woodland creatures get turned into terrible killing machines as much as the next hedgehog, so while he was once a rival to that other speedy mammal, he now fights with him for good.

They really are a creepy bunch. At least they are truly good guys, not bad guys doing bad things that you're expected to admire (like GTA).
