The roach is a notoriously indestructible insect found in many societies. It is also found in video games.
A situation where the player-controlled character loses their life immediately. The quickness of that demise is often a stark departure from the balance of power, and sometimes the rules, established by the developers during the rest of the game.
Some substance, organic or other wise that alters perfectly normal creatures into something else. Often times the agent in question is some form of virus or parasite.
Genetically evolved humans, animals or aliens.
Oversized pests such as rats or bugs are often used as low level enemies in role playing games. They can be found in most any Western RPG, especially ones that use the Dungeons and Dragons rule set.
In Resident Evil 5, Uroboros is an adaptation of the Las Plagas parasite.
A visual obstruction is an extra layer added to the player's viewpoint. Most common in first person games to add to the notion that you are looking through a character's eyes. Obstructions include blood, water and ice crystals.
