Bizarre /vr/ enemy/monsters appreciation thread?

I feel like people generally never think much of a game's beastiary which is sad to me, usually a mascot enemy or some generic cool design get welk known and that's it. For me I feel like a game's beastiary is one of the best ways to flesh out the game world, I love when games have enemies who have no real gameplay purpose and just exist for flavor.

Big fan of all the wacky shit in FFVII. The mix of early 3d and bizarre localizations made its enemy roster more memorable then any character I feel like.

Never been a particularly big fan of FF but damn, IFFVII's monsters have always stuck with me in a way no other game's has. I don't know if it was due to the team still learning 3d but I love how they seemed to make the weirdest shit they could. Despite the serious tone of the main plot the enemies just feel absurd or have really neat details. Seeing a human head pop out of a Brainpod, realizing Yin and Yang's gimmick, and just seeing the "Unknown" enemies for the first time were memorable for me.

>thinking Hell House was the weirdest
You didn't play the game at all, then.

I find it hard to pick up jrpgs nowadays but I absolutely love FFVII and all the weird shit that makes up its monster catalog. I wish more games had a rogue gallery this fucking bizarre.

I'ma take the bait.
I'm not even a FF fag but FF7 has some sick battle models. Some overworld models are obviously going for some kind of chibi style, so they look kinda weird.

*VOMITS AGGRESSIVELY*
Yeah no shit it's going to look bad. The real-time elements stick out like a sore thumb against the pre-rendered backgrounds.
Emulate properly n00b.

I thought the models were pretty good given the quantity and the year of release.
