Did you really think you could defeat me? With that little peashooter? This farce ends here! This is where a villain, or Anti-Hero, will have an enemy at their mercy and instead of immediately shooting them, they'll slowly walk towards them. This is for no other reason other than to impress into the would-be victim that they are completely at their mercy. So much so that there is no reason to hurry since there is nothing their victim can do that would so much as hinder them. Another reason a villain or Anti-Hero will engage in this behavior is to savor the moment as long as they can. This is intended to increase their scare factor or evilness. Very rarely will the question of Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? cause this to backfire as this is intended to develop their character and establish them as a villain or anti-hero. It can also be combined with Smoke Shield or Out of the Inferno for maximum impact if they've been hit with something explosive. A common characteristic of Westerns and generally used to show who has the upper hand in a gunfight. If this trope is invoked (or worse, Unflinching Walk) it is very likely you have an Implacable Man on your hands. Compare The Slow Walk, Team Power Walk and Menacing Stroll. |

Goss Harag in Monster Hunter are likened to boogeymen who stalk and eat children, and are based on a youkai of a similar nature. In actual gameplay, if one manages to stun you while one of its arms are frozen into a sword, it will slowly drag the blade along the ground to savor the moment before it slashes at you again. | |

In Tom and Jerry there is an episode where Tom mixes up a concoction in order to stop Jerry from drinking his milk, but the drink instead makes Jerry huge and strong, and of course Jerry does this trope to great effect along with some sweet music. | |

This was how Master Xehanort was introduced in the Secret Ending of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, later adapted into the climax of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. The scene has him trudging veeery slowly through the deserts of the Keyblade Graveyard toward the protagonists. Once he stops walking, things go rapidly downhill for the good guys. | |

No Country for Old Men: Anton Chigurh does this quite a bit. With a limp that shows off just how determined he really is. As long as he isn't facing certain death, Anton always moves at the same, slow pace. It's implied that he had to run to escape a retaliation from Moss, but it's offscreen.note Which is ironic when you consider that if Anton had ran to the scene of the crash, he would have found Moss before he had the chance to get to cover. He also tends to hold his shotgun in one hand, pointed down to his feet as he walks. It's a small touch, but it's totally badass when the shot is of his feet and the muzzle of a silencer. | |

FEAR: In the first game, you find yourself in a hallway and Alma comes out of fucking nowhere and invokes this trope while setting the room ON FIRE! And pretty much every other time you see her throughout the series she invokes this trope, only towards the end does she start averting it. With very good reason. | |

World of Warcraft: The Black Knight at the end of the Trial of the Champion plays this trope. He flies in on a griffon, kills the arena herald with a flick of his wrist, and walks towards the players. He even says, "This farce ends, here!" Even more so, the Lich King in the Halls of Reflection, who easily kills anyone who gets too close, and the only way you survive is via a an Airship doing a Gunship Rescue, blowing the cave exit up in his face. |

Gamzee Makara from Homestuck does this when he's advancing toward Equius after shooting him in the leg with an arrow. It's absolutely terrifying. During the events of [S] Cascade, Jack Noir's only mode of transportation besides teleporting is an Ominous Walk, which he uses to great effect as he advances on WK, WQ, and AR. For bonus points, the scene in which the diseased Lotus Time Capsule blooms has him emerge from it in a pose that makes it look almost as if he had just Ominous Walked into the room. |

Kamen Rider BLACK: Main antagonist Shadow Moon is a master of this. The first episode he shows up he is given a special metallic sound effect everytime he moves. This remains later in the series toned down a little due to his body being that of a cyborg. In Episode 36, Kotaro has a dream of chasing Nobuhiko and ends up having an encounter with Shadow Moon not without being chased by the metallic sound first just to make things more scary. | |

Hyperion of Supreme Power did this to a government base. He could have simply flown up to the building right away, but instead he just strolled to the building while getting fired at by soldiers and missiles. The soldiers were hurt or killed by only the bullets that bounced off of Hyperion. The base general lampshades this, saying that Hyperion is only walking in to send a message. |

Resident Evil: Resident Evil 4: Oddly enough enemies will run at you until they get within a certain distance then they will start ominously walking towards you for no reason. However, the Regenerators/Iron Maidens play this trope totally straight. The earlier games in the series have Tyrants (Super Soldiers and Implacable Men). They love to slowly walk toward you while you shoot at them. And then they sprint. Mr. X from Resident Evil 2 is stuck in power-walk mode, but it doesn't make him any less scary. The Remake takes it even further, upgrading a scripted enemy only encountered in the B scenario to a relentless stalker that methodically pursues the player throughout the Police Station. The sound of his footsteps echoing from another room as he searches for you is utterly terrifying. What makes it even worse is that while the player can absolutely outrun him, his appearance coincides with Lickers spawning all over the station. Walk slowly to elude the Lickers, and you risk being caught by Mr. X. Run to stay ahead of him, and you risk being mauled by a Licker in the process. Good luck. Lady Dimetrescu in Resident Evil Village never moves faster than a stroll but being a giantess with razor claws means that she can take chunks out of Ethan if she gets close enough. |

Silent Hill 2's Pyramid Head, unarguably. The laboured walk caused by his huge, metal helmet (and sometimes Great Knife) makes him infinitely scarier, because what does it matter how slow or fast he goes? You're dead either way. | |

Sognic: Mall-tiverse of Madness: Deconstructed in episode 3. In Sognic's nightmare, he sees a possessed-looking Ammy amble towards him creepily. However, Sognic points out that he's the fastest hedgehog in the world (and Ammy even said so just a few seconds prior), so he is able to run away with ease. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: At one point during Season 2, Azula pummels Aang into near-unconsciousness on top of The Drill and then ominously marches towards him while she readies a fire attack to presumably finish him off. Similarly, in the finale, Ozai confidently strolls towards Aang after breaking through the protective shell he had created, only to discover that he has accidentally unblocked Aang's Seventh Chakra, allowing him to enter the Avatar State. Asskicking ensues. |

Even animals do this in Archer, particularly the episode "Disheartening Situation" in which a bunch of Komodo dragons slowly tighten their surrounding against Pam, Krieger, Lana and Cyril. They take so long to do any harm to them that Archer and Ray have enough time to drive all the way from civilization straight to the very very exact spot they all are in the middle of the jungle at night to save them in a slow-ass car which Archer and Ray know for a fact is slow, even though earlier it still takes them hours to fly there. It is immediately lampshaded later that Archer is just "lucky" to find them. It all happens in his dream, after all. | |

Chicago P.D.: In the Season 5 episode Home, Voight walks with an eerie calmness straight towards a gun-toting child trafficker, and his only response to the latter threatening to shoot him is to draw his sidearm and shoot him straight through the head. He then keeps walking to go after the head of the ring and give them one hell of a beatdown. | |

Eddie Gluskin and The Twins from Outlast are unique from the other enemies in that they never run in their pursuit of the player, only walk. They have edges that balance things out, however. The player only encounters Gluskin when their leg is broken, so despite walking, Gluskin's stroll is actually faster than the player's hobble. And The Twins are dead silent, even their footsteps, so they don't need speed to get the jump on you. | |

From: It's noted that the creatures never move faster than a brisk walk. In this case, it's pretty justified — as Kenny notes while in a Heroic BSoD following his father's death, since they're all stuck in a Closed Circle with limited means of protecting themselves, the creatures don't need to be too fast to eventually catch their prey. | |

In the mainline Devil May Cry series, this is a gameplay mechanic with Vergil in his playable iterations from the Special Edition of 4 onwards, where one of the ways to raise his "Concentration" Gauge is to avoid running and instead walk slowly towards enemies by locking-on to them (that or Flash Step to them). | |

Final Fantasy has the Tonberry, a recurring monster that looks like a little lizard with beady eyes and a dolphin tail dressed in robes and carrying a lantern in one hand and a chef's knife in the other. In the games with Turn-Based Combat, it tends to spend its turns slowly walking towards your party. In the more action-oriented games, it similarly just tends to slowly walk in your direction. If you don't manage to kill it before it reaches you, well... Tonberries have gained a meta reputation as The Dreaded among Final Fantasy players for very good reasons. | |

In The Book of Boba Fett, the sixth episode is named after this trope, "From the Desert Comes a Stranger". At the climax of the episode, Cobb Vanth notices a figure walking towards Freetown from the desert, and sensing trouble, orders the townspeople to get indoors. The figure becomes clearer, having a large distinctive hat... and upon the third shot of him, the breathing tubes, belt buckle, and blue skin make it frighteningly clear that Cad Bane, the most notorious bounty hunter of the last several decades, is strolling into town in an Ennio Morricone Pastiche, ready to seek retribution for Vanth's defiance against the Pyke Syndicate. He also does one when he walks out of town after shooting Vanth and his deputy, showing how calm and unbothered he is by his work and how utterly in control he and the Pykes are. | |

Dragon Ball Z: Cell usually walks calmly towards whoever his target is, safe in the knowledge that their fear will cause them to trap themselves, though he also occasionally suddenly breaks out of the walk to do a surprise rush at his opponents. Gohan returns the favor after Cell provokes him into achieving his Super Saiyan 2 form, much to Cell's dismay. Frieza was a big fan of this as well, which explains why Cell also did this, since he was partially made from Frieza's genes. |

Kingdom Hearts: This was how Master Xehanort was introduced in the Secret Ending of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, later adapted into the climax of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. The scene has him trudging veeery slowly through the deserts of the Keyblade Graveyard toward the protagonists. Once he stops walking, things go rapidly downhill for the good guys. It's also how his apprentice Vanitas first appeared in the video, joining Xehanort halfway through. Mix that with his dark outfit and feature-concealing helmet, and they serve as a good warning sign for how bad the situation is for Aqua, Terra and Ven. Xehanort employs it again in Kingdom Hearts III, twice this time. Once upon confronting the Guardians of Light at the Keyblade Graveyard, shortly before he and his henchmen unleash a horde of the forces of darkness upon them, and once more at the crossroads when he and his Seekers confront the Guardians for the start of the second Keyblade War. |
