Weekend Question: Which videogame enemy could you beat in a fight?

[PCG Jody]

I ask the PCG staff a regular Weekend Question and post the answers on the site. If you'd like to throw in an answer here, I'll squeeze the best into the finished article!

This week's question is: Which videogame enemy could you beat in a fight? No cheating, who do you reckon you could take one-on-one? Imps from Doom seem like they could be beaten by anyone who knows how to strafe, right? What about Bob the Goldfish from Earthworm Jim, he's just a fish, yeah? Let us know.

Location: Candlekeep
Enemy: rats
Reward: handsome (5 gold pieces)
Quest log: A glorious battle unlike any this world has ever seen

Ok who am I kidding, I would probably be dead even before the tutorial section.

@OsaX Nymloth I'm with you on the rats. I can beat a rat. At least I think I can. The last two times I saw a rat it was quickly and systematically hunted and killed by my pets before I could confront it.

I think I could definitely take your run-of-the-mill zombie. I'm pretty sure they move slower than I do. Wait. It was a zombie that killed me. Scratch that. I can't take a zombie. Then again that particular zombie wasn't a run-of-mill zombie. So yeah, I'll stick with my answer of run-of-the-mill zombie.

Whoever it was that said I couldn't use "run-of-the-mill" three times in one paragraph owes me $5.

South Park: Fractured but Whole. I can beat those sixth graders! (As long as they come at me one at a time. And, if one of them tries doing that little balloon trick, I'm calling the cops.)

@I Will Haunt You , you only used "run-of-mill" once. The other two times you used "run-of-the-mill." No $5 for you!

@Zloth Gah! Beaten by a typo! (But a typo no more, TY)

I bet I could take a covenant grunt from Halo. Turkey sized spaziods practically kill themselves running in a panic at the first sight of green. I've probably killed one already on Saint Patricks and didn't even know it.

The Council has verbal combat, where you are thrown into a smackdown and have to exploit your opponent's weaknesses in a turn-based battle. I'm confident I could defeat George Washington and Napoleon Bonaparte in a verbal fight now that I know their immunities and vulnerabilities.

I could easily beat the treasure goblins from Diablo 3 to a pulp

 

[I Will Haunt You]

@Frindis I don't think I could catch them.

 

[Frindis]

@I Will Haunt You The first time I encountered a map with countless of them, I ended up hitting so many of them, but not really killing more than 2-3. It was a slap to the face seeing all the portals open and close, but a fun experience nevertheless as it was my first massive treasure goblin encounter.
