The first few encounters against Sa-X in "Metroid Fusion." You're weaker than you've ever been, and this thing donning your old suit is hunting you down because of what's in your DNA. The first two or three times you encounter it, it's hide or die. After a certain point, you encounter it and have to run, run for dear life, because the best your attacks can do even that close to the end of the game is stun the creature hunting after you. You run until you can reach a final hiding spot, and the Sa-X decides you've gotten away . . . for now. It isn't until even later into the game that you finally stand a chance--key word there being chance--at fighting it. Oh, did I mention it was just one Sa-X . . . out of a handful of them hellbent on destroying anything with Metroid DNA?

The SA-X from Metroid Fusion. You do find it at the end, mere minutes before the game is over, but all you can do for most of the game is hide and run away. It is remarkably scary for a sidescrolling platformer, especially one with such a small screen.

You are spared even the possibility of confronting the final boss in Thief 2: The Metal Age because Plot Reasons. You're sneaking a lot but then that's Thief in general for you.

No idea what the hell a sorcerer's stone was when I saw the one-sheet for the film until I saw the movie and figured out that they were actually talking about a philosopher's stone.... so why not just leave it at that?! The only reason American kids called it 'sorcerer's stone' is because some moron changed it for the U.S. market. If they'd left it philosopher's stone, kids over here would be calling it that, instead. Derp! "Stupidy, stupidy, stupidy!" - Tony Robinson, "Blackadder Goes Forth"

The Gorgons in Destiny fit this bill. I think they're one of the first enemies in the franchise to be able to just decide you don't exist anymore, but every other boss that does this will let you run around doing raid mechanics for a while first. The Gorgons will just kill you if they even find out you're there. EDIT: not as creepy as these, though.
