Many of these charactersare deeply disturbing, often in their own unique way. However, some characters have left a bigger mark on players than others. These are thecreepiest characters inResident Evil Village.

He also plans to use Rose as a weapon against Mother Miranda, much to Ethan’s disapproval. While Heisenberg’s appearance isn’t necessarily the creepiest inResident Evil Village, he certainly has somedark motivesthat make him much more disturbing.
7Salvatore Moreau

After being infected by the Cadou parasite, he underwent a dramatic transformation that caused him to develop a hunchback covered intumor-like growths.

Hisobsession with Mother Mirandais incredibly creepy andpretty pathetic at times. To prove himself to her, he began experimenting on the villagers, and accidentally turned them into Lycans. Salvatore is unfortunately hideous, and his constant vomiting doesn’t help his case. He’s certainly an uncomfortable character to be around inResident Evil Village.
6Mother Miranda
Mother Miranda is the main villain inResident Evil Village. Hermotive is incredibly creepy- she kidnaps Ethan Winters' child, Rose, to use as a vessel for her deceased daughter, Eva. Mother Miranda is a particularly sinister individual, havingkidnapped the Four Lordsand laterexperimenting on themfor her gains.
Despite these experiments, and the remarkable abilities the Four Lords gained, she deemed them a failure, and unfit for her purposes. Overall, Mother Miranda is acold and calculating individual, with some creepy plans.
5Lady Dimitrescu
Lady Dimitrescu is certainly beloved by the gaming community, and her character design is a big reason for that. Debuting inResident Evil Village, Dimitrescu is intimidatingly huge, standing at 9 feet, 6 inches tall. Shetowers over Ethan, making the player feel incredibly small and powerless around her.

Not only that, but some notes in the basement of her castle reveal some of themacabre goings-onthat she has been conducting. Lady Dimitrescu would regularly send off her staff to be killed in her dungeons so that she could drain their blood for her sustenance. Regardless of how much her fans love her, Lady Dimitrescu is adeeply disturbing character.
4Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela
Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela are the adopted daughters of Lady Dimitrescu. The daughters all show signs of being sadists, as they clearly take muchpleasure in tormentingand killing their victims.
Their bodies arecomposed of flies, and they seemingly possess the ability to effortlessly shift between their human and swarm forms. Blood serves as their primary source of sustenance, and they appear to takegreat pleasure at the prospectof toying with yet another victim. The combination of their blood-stained appearance, supernatural abilities, and disturbing behavior makes the Dimitrescu sisters undeniably creepy characters.
3Donna Beneviento & Angie
There’s nothing much creepier than old dolls, and Donna Beneviento loves them. Throughout the game, she typically appears dressed in black attire, hiding her face, and often interacts with other characters through herunnerving doll, Angie. After Mother Miranda implanted her with the Cadou parasite,Donna acquired the powerto release a mind-altering chemical, which was capable of inducing intense and aggressive hallucinations.
Ethan Winters becomes a target of these hallucinations, as Benevientotorments himwith dolls that bear a striking resemblance to his dead wife, Mia. Without a doubt, Donna Beneviento is one of the most unsettling characters inResident Evil Village.

The Varcolac has adisturbingly uncanny appearance, similar to a creepy old puppet, with its huge, gaping mouth and piercing eyes. Players will either have to find a way to sneak past the skulking beast, or fight it head-on - once they gather the courage to leave the house they were cornered into.
1The Baby
MostResident Evil Villageplayers will remember their experience in the Beneviento House very well, and that’s probably thanks to the giant baby they will encounter there. Thishorrifying apparitionwill hunt down players, making haunting gargling and giggling noises throughout the pursuit.
With no weapons, the player has no choice but to hide from this monster, unless they want to be swallowed whole by its gaping mouth. A source of nightmares for many players, the baby is undoubtedly the creepiest character inResident Evil Village.
