No. 4806
It's kind of childish and stupid, but there was one level of Spyro the Dragon that always creeped me out. It was at night and everything was sort of like an island in the sky - you would fall off the edge into nothing. There was an elf guy that would prance about in circles. He wouldn't attack you, and you couldn't kill him - he'd just go in circles, lighting a lamp and then putting the flame back out, making a noise like jingling bells. If you headbutted him he would automatically turn into the lamp, and it looked kind of like origami, seeing different parts of him rearrange themselves into a brass and flame contraption. But it was all on a timer, and he would turn back into himself after a few seconds.
He would dance in areas were there were small, yellow one-eyed puppies. They would tilt their head and pant happily at you. You'd move closer, going aww cyclops dog, and then Mr. Jingles on his little self-timer would put out the flame. UUUOOORRAAAAAAAGGGHHHH the puppy turns into this giant, hideous, mottled beast like twenty feet tall and invincible. When Jingles lit up his flame again, it would turn back into a little puppy and you could kill it. Of course you could also headbutt Jingles into a lamp and the beast would automatically turn back into a pup.
I was always scared to turn off my bedroom light after playing through that level, and I wouldn't let the dog sleep in my room anymore. I wish I could find a picture of those two. If I remember right there were also transforming cats, but they were kinda dark and stayed in the shadows, you couldn't see any horrific detail on them.
