Every videogame franchise has a ton of generic enemies and while a majority of them aren't characters per say (in the way the pro/antagonists are) that still doesn't stop them from being memorable and stables of their series' in their own right, so if there are any generic enemies you like, feel free to talk about them here and give them some attention.
As for me, I have three that quickly come to my mind :
Jan (Madou Monogatari 2)
Having recently finally gotten into Madou Monogatari, I quickly jumped onto the Game Gear version of Madou 2 and while I already knew who Jan is, due to her appearing in three later Puyo Puyo spin offs, she still made quite the impression on me.
She is one of the first enemies you can encounter in the second major area of the game and makes her entry by just coming up from the ground, during battle she can either attack normaly, or take a turn to enlarge one of her hands, to attack you for more damage. I really liked figthing her, since the one turn she needs to ''charge'' her attack gives you a lot of options in how to proceed, compared to all of the enemies that came before her, which were more blatanly brute force. Plus I love her design, her Puyo Puyo Quest appearence shown above is actually one of my favorite character designs in the whole franchise.
Hoodlums (Rayman 3 )
These guys are hillarious, Rayman 3 in general is very wacky and comedy focused and these guys are the perfect representation of that.
When you don't battle them you can often see them slack off or do all kinds of goofy stuff, like at one point there actually two that fight over one gun, the real highlight thought are the bonus videos titled ''Wanna Kick Rayman'' which feature a single Hoodlum attempting to show of all kinds of ways to beat up Rayman, which always end up in wacky hijinx.
Shy Guy (Mario/Yoshi series)
These guys outside of being absolutely adorable (and often hilarious in the RPGs) are some of the most versatile enemies I have ever seen, I mean you have Spear Guys, Fly Guys, Pyro Guys and waaay too many more to count, they are a prime example that any old enemy can learn new tricks, especially given that they did nothing but move forward in Mario 2 and are now probably among the Mario mooks with the most sub species out there, especially since the likeds of Sniffits ans Bandits are based off of them and most importantly, they are just charming and lovable as all heck.
