Do you have innate fear of certain types of monsters in games?

I have an innate fear of ATST!

I've seen lots of monsters in games since DOOM in 1995. It seems that I shouldn't have any special fear of certain types of them. But there are two kinds of monsters in FPS history that unable to be not feared for me. They are: 1, Zombie in Thief series; 2, ATST/ATAT in JK2!

The reasons are weird.

Thief zombie is a pretty clumsy monster. And probably the slowest monster in FPS games. As soon as you turn around a corner and they don't see you, they just forget everything about you and return to their privacy. But it is a well-made monster. They are so vivid that I almost can smell their rotten flesh, and feel their jealousy of the dead and hatred of the living.

My JK2 ATST fear may be a result of my painstaking effort of saving the prisoners. I played JK2 at Jedi Knight difficulty until trying to save the prisoners from two ATSTs in artus_topside for a whole afternoon. I finally succeeded by accidentally disabling an ATST, with enough time left to deal with the second one. I still remember the first time of that saving prisoners objective. When I destroyed the first ATST and wiped out all troopers on the roof of that garage thing, I happily thought the objective complete, when suddenly another ATST walked out of the garage. And I heard the prisoners dying scream, while frantically pressing my left mouse button only to find ammo running out! Then the blood-red failure messege turned up!

Hm, I'm not afraid of any enemy in a game, but there are a lot of monsters which I really hate!
The JKII-ATST is one of them...

For a while I had nightmares of those Green sand creatures from Commander Keen 4.

More like how old are you.  Was a while ago, putz.

on artus topside, use those ground turret guns to blast the atst's to shreds!
