Week #2: Favorite First Encounters
Ahh, yes; the humble first enemy of the game. Usually nothing more than helpless cannon fodder, but also the first spark of your campaign of mass destruction. While many people do not do much to even so much as acknowledge these simple peons, they almost always serve the important purpose of teaching you the basics of how to take down enemies in their respective games; such as Mario's Goombas teaching you that you can defeat enemies by jumping on them.
So this week's question is, what Top Ten "first enemy of the game(s?)" (not sure how to pluralize that correctly) do you consider your favorite or most memorable? Is it the classic goomba? The traditional RPG slime monsters? Or maybe something a little less common? And why do you like them?
(This list is for minor enemies ONLY; games that start with a "boss" fight do not count (for example, the original Paper Mario pitting you against Bowser first), although you can count enemies that appear after such bosses).
By the way! If you missed out on the previous week's list, you can still feel free to post your picks for that too if you wish.
P.S. Would you guys mind numbering your picks in the future? Not a big deal, but sometimes it's difficult to tell if you're counting down to your top favorite or listing your favorite first.
