** More than one Sith Lord in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' and its sequel. Darth Malak wears not exactly a mask, but a metal prosthetic plate thingy covering his lack of a jaw. Darth Revan wore an abstract/blank mask that emphasizes his mysterious anonymity. Darth Nihilus has a creepy, vaguely skull-like mask that gives him an inhuman look, which is befitting of Nihilus' nature, as he really ''isn't'' human anymore. He is, more or less, a living black hole in The Force whose life essence is bound to his mask.

* The protagonists in ''VideoGame/ArmyOfTwo'' [[http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/image/article/861/861645/armytwo_guide_1206398818.jpg both wear masks]] -- ostensibly this is to offer head protection, but the designs (a snarling skull and a blank face with no features) are pure RuleOfCool. Incidentally, there are airsoft masks based on both designs and, in case of cheaper, unpainted Chinese versions of Salem's mask (left one) people can attest to the discomforting effect felt when faced with a featureless face and [[BlackEyesOfEvil no visible eyes]].
* ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed:''
** Several of the ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood'' multiplayer characters wear masks, such as [[AnAxeToGrind the Executioner]], [[DeadlyDoctor the Doctor]] [[RuleOfThree and]] [[MonsterClown the Harlequin]].
** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedOrigins'' gives us the Order of the Ancients, the Egyptian equivalent of the Templars with their members wearing masks representing which temples they work for while also serving as the puppet masters behind the scenes.
** ''Videogame/AssassinsCreedOdyssey'' has the Cult of Kosmos, who are essentially the Order of the Ancients of Ancient Greece. Like them, their members also wear masks to indicate their membership.
* ''VideoGame/{{Ato}}'': Due to [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals the setting of the game]], Malevolent Masked Animals might be more accurate. That said, the villains of the game are a mysterious group of masked animals who have kidnapped [[PlayerCharacter the warrior]]'s baby.
* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta 2}}'' introduces a new character acting as TheRival for Bayonetta, a [[LightIsNotGood Lumen Sage]] wearing a mask that resembles [[ThePowerOfTheSun the Sun]]. Given that he is intent on the [[WouldHurtAChild death]] of [[MouthyKid Loki]] and fights almost exactly like Bayonetta, using light-themed versions of her moves, he fits this trope to a T. [[spoiler: ...[[SubvertedTrope or not]]. He actually has [[{{Revenge}} his reasons]] for wanting to kill Loki ([[FrameUp he thinks]] that he [[YouKilledMyFather killed his lover]]), and even then this is because he was a pawn of [[BigBad Loptr]]]].
* Sammy Lawrence from ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'' wears a mask made from a cut-out of Bendy. Considering that Bendy was originally a cartoon demon and is now an EldritchAbomination, this qualifies as a monster mask. Sammy is also Bendy's so-called prophet.
* The Splicers from ''VideoGame/BioShock'' and ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' often wear Venetian masks. Possibly justified, as it's stated in Audio-Logs that everything really went to hell in Rapture on New Year's Day. It also helps cover up their ugly deformities from excessive plasmid use and abuse.
** ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' has the Zealots of the Lady, the Columbian Soldiers, and the Vox Populi rebels. The Zealots of the Lady wear what is effectively a UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan robe mixed with Freemason medals so they hide their faces in pointy hoods. The Columbian forces have several masks: women have porcelain masks or metal masks in the shape of Lady Liberty with glowing eyes, and for men, it can be a full face mask or a half-face mask.

* Relius Clover of ''VideoGame/BlazBlue''. A man who sought perfection in everything, a man who turned his family except his son to automatons without conscience, and [[ManOfWealthAndTaste a man who likes opera very much]].
* ''VideoGame/BodyBlows'': Puppet, one of several extraterrestrial fighters introduced in ''Body Blows Galactic'', wears a Venetian style mask that has a similar appearance to those worn by real-life {{Plague Doctor}}s (though in his case, the beak of the mask is stubby). Considering that the planet he resides on is called "Miasma" (after the Miasma theory of infection for which the plague doctor suits were thought to be able to protect against), it's likely no coincidence.
* Most human enemies in ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' are masked or otherwise outfitted with face-concealing equipment unless they're named (and sometimes even then). In general, you fight two main categories of human enemies. The first are Bandits, who use a haphazard mixture of whatever's available, although some have unique properties -- most notably, Goliaths enter a melee-focused rage state and start attacking everything nearby when their crude metal helmets are shot off. The second are Hyperion troopers, who favour a CyberCyclops look on their dedicated military and a welding mask for their Engineers. BigBad Handsome Jack wears a mask based on his own features, [[spoiler:to conceal the scars]]. Among the player characters, two of them are usually or always masked -- cold, merciless assassin [=Zer0=], and violently unhinged psycho (that's literally his class) Krieg, who are two of the least ethical people even among the Vault Hunters.
* Oscar from ''VideoGame/BrinkOfConsciousnessDorianGraySyndrome'' is a malevolent masked MagnificentBastard.
* ''VideoGame/BugFables'' has the Leafbug tribe in the [[BubblegloopSwamp Wild Swamplands]]. They all wear leaf masks, and they're a warrior tribe who attack all outsiders on sight.
* ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' has the Raincoat Cult. Aside from [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the obvious]], they all go around in Green Goblin-esque masks.
* ''VideoGame/DeadSecret'' has the Woodcutter wearing a Japanese Noh mask and is a killer, who will also attack Patricia, if she is caught. Subverted with the spirit seen wearing the Japanese Oni mask, who is not a threat and usually appears as a way to give wordless clues.
* The Assassins from ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'' wear masks. The masks are those of the Whalers and are in no short supply in the city of Dunwall.
** Corvo's mask counts as one on a high chaos playthrough. But good or evil, the steampunk grim-reaper visage is so shocking that civilians will go into a terror-filled panic if they see you.
* ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'' features the villainous group known as the Agito, with each member having their own unique masks and proving themselves to be in one way or another a deadly force that menaces those that they despise. Their masks are an iconic part of their design, with some of their main drops being their mask fragments and in [[HarderThanHard Legend difficulty]], a generic evil-looking mask symbolizes the Berserk condition they have. The masks themselves are stated to [[spoiler: amplify their emotions, fueling their madness and desire to inflict harm on their opposers even more, with Valyx who was made to wear one proving to be much more aggressive and vicious when wearing one compared to his usual stoic nature otherwise.]] The one exception that doesn't wear a mask is their leader, [[spoiler: Nedrick.]]
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
** In the ActionAdventure spin-off game ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsAdventuresRedguard Redguard]]'', the lower half of [[TheDragon Dram's]] face is always hidden under his mask.
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'':
*** All three [[BigBad Big Bads]] of the game and its two expansions wear full-face masks into their respective [[BossFight Boss Fights]].
*** All three (four, including the Mask of Clavicus Vile) variants of the [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Daedric]] helmet are shaped like scary faces.
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'':
*** Cultists of the [[ReligionOfEvil Mythic]] [[ApocalypseCult Dawn]] will summon special sets of Daedric armor with human-face-shaped masks before combat.
*** The Gray Cowl is a gift of the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Prince]] [[TheSacredDarkness Nocturnal]] which can make its wearer an uncatchable criminal. It is also ''cursed'', and removing the curse is a major part of the ThievesGuild questline.
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'':
*** Most of the named [[SinisterMinister Dragon Priests]] were given powerfully enchanted masks as symbols of authority. Their cruelty and malevolence was second only to the dragons themselves. They serve as powerful [[MiniBoss Mini-Bosses]] throughout the game.
*** [[BigBad Miraak]] and his cultists in the ''Dragonborn'' DLC all wear similar masks.
*** In fact, the only named Dragon Priest who ''doesn't'' wear a mask is Vahlok the Jailer, who defeated Miraak long ago and is said to be a ''good'' ruler in the legends of the [[NobleSavage Skaal]].
* ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce EXTRAPOWER Attack of Darkforce]]'': Both the Yami Clan and Tarantula's common foot soldiers wear masks over their faces. At least in the case of Tarantula, there's presumably a face under them.
* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' [[CannibalClan The White Glove Society.]] wear masks that cover the lower part of their face. Their leader believes the masks give them a "mysterious allure" but all it does is make them creepier in the eyes of others.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has Legate Gaius van Baelsar and his lieutenants, all of whom wear magitek-empowered suits of armor with face-concealing masks. [[spoiler:The [[GreaterScopeEvil Ascians]] also wear masks that cover the top halves of their faces.]]
* The Death Knight and the Flame Emperor in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' wear masks that conceal their faces and disguise their voices. [[spoiler:The Death Knight's case is a ZigZaggingTrope: in his initial appearances (as Jeritza), he wears a white DominoMask that only covers half his face, and he isn't suspected of being the Death Knight until he kidnaps Flayn midway through Part I. In Part II, he ditches both masks on the Crimson Flower route but keeps the Death Knight mask on all others. The Flame Emperor (Edelgard) goes maskless much earlier: during the Holy Tomb raid, she either has it [[DramaticUnmask forcibly removed]] (if the player chose the Blue Lions or Golden Deer), or simply stops wearing it after admitting to being the Flame Emperor (if the player chose the Black Eagles).]]
* In ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear Xrd'', the Conclave is a massively powerful governmental force that controls most of the world and is run by a trio of mask-wearing individuals [[GovernmentConspiracy with a vested interest in wiping out humanity]].
* [[NoNameGiven Jacket]] of ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami'' wears a variety of creepy animal masks before each mission. These masks give perks such as making unarmed punches lethal, walking faster, or starting a mission already equipped with a weapon. [[spoiler: Later on you find out there's an ''organization'' of the animal masked killers...]]
* In ''[[https://youtu.be/ReUH5rbrJ60 Kung Fu Chivalry]]'', the third boss wears a metal Greek drama-style mask [[TheBlank with eye slits but no other facial features]].
* ''VideoGame/TheLastDoor'' has a yet-unidentified cabal of creepy people in yellow robes wearing expressive white masks that reveal themselves to the protagonist.
* ''[[VideoGame/GanbareGoemon The Legend of the Mystical Ninja]]'' has armies of {{mooks}} wearing ''kyōgen'' and ''otafuku'' masks.
* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends:''
** [[TheDividual Kindred]] consists of two individuals, both masked. [[TheStoic Lamb]] wears a full face mask in the shape of a wolf, making her appear completely emotionless to fit her personality. [[TheBrute Wolf,]] largely resembling an actual wolf, wears a half-mask which covers the upper part of his face, partially because his jaws extend far out from underneath and partially to emphasize his hunger and gluttony.
** [[TheSociopath Jhin]] wears ''two'' masks: one with a plain black leather covering obscuring his entire body and an ornately carved ivory mask on top of it. He acts as a covert assassin for a shadowy cabal, so it would make sense for him to hide his identity, and many of his voice lines reference his killings as being the only true way to express himself.

* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' has a boss and some mooks which you must remove a mask from before you can hit them.
** Lots of different masks appear in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' in the Happy Mask Shop in Hyrule Castle Market.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' game is all about masks. There are three masks that can change you into a Zora, Goron, and a Deku Scrub, as well as a whole inventory of masks that you collect and you can wear them, using some of the powers that the masks have. Also at the Carnival Of Time, all the townspeople wear masks as part of a tradition. Then there's the [[EvilMask evil Majora's Mask]] that you must defeat.
** ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' has Young Link's intro invoke the trope, by having him play his ocarina ominously and then swing around his oversized Kokiri Sword while wearing his Keaton Mask... except it falls off midway through.
* The Pigmasks in ''VideoGame/Mother3.'' Their general is also specifically known as the Masked Man, but his isn't a pig mask.
* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' has characters who wear masks and are extremely dangerous, including:
** Destroyman, a wannabe superhero wish a masked costume, deadly gadgets, and a twisted mind.
** Letz Shake, a Singaporean rock star with a mask covering his mouth and an Earthquake Maker superweapon.
** Harvey Moiseiwitsch Volodarrskii, a stage magician with deadly tricks and a mask covering the left side of his face like Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera.
** Dark Star, a [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] {{expy}} with a [[{{BFS}} massive]] dragon-bladed beam katana.
** Matt Helms, a PsychopathicManchild wearing a creepy cartoon mask and wielding a combination axe[=/=]flamethrower.
** Badman, the {{Deuteragonist}} of ''VideoGame/TravisStrikesAgainNoMoreHeroes'', a vengeful mask-wearing bat-wielding beer-swilling assassin.
* [[LoliconAndShotacon Yōko]] of ''[[VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}} Onmyōji]]'' wears a fox mask, indicating his [[FauxAffablyEvil deceptive]] nature. He even [[LampshadeHanging points this out]].
-->'''Yōko:''' A masked man can't be trusted, can he?
* The bank robbers of ''VideoGame/PAYDAYTheHeist'' all wear creepy clown masks.
** The sequel ''VideoGame/{{PAYDAY 2}}'' sports more heisters with more standard clown masks, and an enormous amount of unlockable and customizable masks, among them more clowns, animals, Santas, pop-culture references, a PlagueDoctor, and lots of original masks.
* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
** Each shadow in ''VideoGame/Persona3'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4'' wears a mask that [=IDs=] it with one of the [[TarotMotifs major Arcana]]. The word ''persona'' itself literally means "mask."
** Aside from the Shadows, several character-specific Personas from throughout the series wear additional masks to hide their own inhuman facial features.
** ''VideoGame/Persona2'' has the Masked Circle, an evil cult whose masks are revealed to be [[spoiler: twisted parodies of the [[Franchise/PowerRangers Power Ranger]]-esque ''[[ShowWithinAShow Phoenix Ranger Featherman R]]'' masks worn by the main characters when they were children]]. Another example is ''Eternal Punishment''[='s=] version of JOKER, a serial killer who wears a BrownBagMask with a creepy SlasherSmile drawn on it.
** ''VideoGame/Persona5'': Many [[TheHeartless Shadows]] take the form of humans with the various arcana masks in place of a face in dungeons. Once battle starts [[ChestBurster they burst apart and change into demonic forms]].
* The Armada from ''VideoGame/{{Pirate101}}'' all wear white Venetian-style masks. The higher ranked ones have black and gold trim except for Deacon, he wears a solid white Batu. Since they are all clockworks, there is nothing underneath but machinery.
* The resident villain team of ''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'', Team Break, lack a full uniform like the others, instead appearing as regular trainer classes wearing a two-tone DominoMask.
* The Masked Gentleman from ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheMiracleMask''. His sole intent is to destroy the city of Monte d'Or, using all the supernatural abilities the [[MaskOfPower Mask of Chaos]] gives him. [[spoiler:The mask is a fake, his abilities are fake, but the malevolence is real and a fake mask is still a mask, so he still counts.]]
* The Butcher from ''VideoGame/PurgatoryRPGMaker'' is an AxCrazy SerialKiller who wears a WhiteMaskOfDoom.
* In ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'', the Van der Linde gang will wear bandannas masking their faces when committing robberies and various crimes, of course. In a case of SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome, the game will probably treat it as a PaperThinDisguise if the player doesn't make the necessary steps of changing his other clothes too.
* In ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', the [[EliteMooks Umbrella Secret Service]] all wear [[GasMaskMooks gas masks]] to hide their identities and to protect from the hazardous conditions where they are deployed. The most infamous member, HUNK, has only ever come [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/residentevil/images/b/ba/Hunkc.png/revision/latest?cb=20110408010542 this close]] to showing his face (unless you count his alternate costume in the unreleased non-canon ''Outbreak File #3'' which looks [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/residentevil/images/d/db/HunkA.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111014154351 considerably different]]). There's also the unnamed [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/residentevil/images/9/9e/UTCommander.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111128145034 UT Commander]] that commands the [[HumanoidAbomination Under Takers]].
* The main villain of ''VideoGame/ReZeroStartingLifeInAnotherWorldTheProphecyOfTheThrone'' is Wolf, who literally refers to himself as "the Malevolent Masked Magician". He has various masks attached to his robe, which he uses to express different emotions.
* The Masked Man, BigBad of ''VideoGame/RuneFactoryOceans'', well... wears a mask. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Obviously.]]
* Thanatos of ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'' - for a 16-bit pixellated fellow he's shockingly eerie, too.
** His energy-sapped fanboys wear freaky full-faced masks too. [=NPCs=] comment on this, too, along the lines of: "What's with all those masked weirdoes in the ruins?"
** Thanatos's mask is echoed by the one worn by Hakuoro of ''VisualNovel/{{Utawarerumono}}'', incidentally. It really is the exact same mask writ animated, complete with the quirky little mark at the top of it.
** [[spoiler:Considering Thanatos was in dire need of a new host, plus his true nature as a lich, it may very well be that he isn't wearing a mask at all...]]
* Quite a few of the secret societies in ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'' are in the habit of wearing weird and disturbing masks: Illuminati employees wear gas masks -- as can the player character should you choose to join them; {{Oni}} almost always wear masks, with members of the [[TheLegionsOfHell Nine Houses]] dressing in traditional Noh masks or black wrappings, while members of the [[PrivateMilitaryContractors House-In-Exile]] wear gas masks to symbolize their allegiance to the Illuminati (except for their leader, who wears a golden MaskOfPower); and of course, the Rabbit Killer wears a massive cartoon rabbit mask. [[spoiler: And so do her twin sisters.]]
* In ''VideoGame/SniperEliteIII'', the main villain of the ''Save Churchill'' DLC is a famed German assassin who wears a metal mask to hide a facial disfigurement. He commands [[EliteMooks a crack squad of snipers]] who wear similar masks.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** More than one Sith Lord in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' and its sequel. Darth Malak wears not exactly a mask, but a metal prosthetic plate thingy covering his lack of a jaw. Darth Revan wore an abstract/blank mask that emphasizes his mysterious anonymity. Darth Nihilus has a creepy, vaguely skull-like mask that gives him an inhuman look, which is befitting of Nihilus' nature, as he really ''isn't'' human anymore. He is, more or less, a living black hole in The Force whose life essence is bound to his mask.
** Some Sith in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' carry on the tradition. Notable examples include Darth Malgus, who wears a Malak-style chin guard (like Malak's, it covers [[FrontlineGeneral an old war wound]]); Darth Marr, who favors an abstract Revan-style mask that suits his status as [[PragmaticVillainy an even-keeled figure not given to overt displays]]; and the Dread Masters, who wear [[BlingOfWar customized red-and-gold masks]] that emphasize their decadence and [[PowerBornOfMadness inhumanity]].
* From ''VideoGame/{{Syndicate}}'' (2012), apart from all the FacelessGoons, there's Agent Ramon, [[spoiler: the Twins]], and Miles yourself from a certain point of view.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Tyranny}}'', the Archon of Justice (and possibly other Archons) appears to wear a shiny metal mask covering his whole face. Considering the [[EvilOverlord kind of ruler]] he administers "justice" for, he probably qualifies as malevolent.
* The kidnapper in ''Videogame/WelcomeToTheGame'' is shown to be wearing a balaclava when he [[JumpScare greets you]].
* The thugs of the three Novigrad gangs in ''Videogame/TheWitcher3'' all cover their faces in various ways. Cleaver's and the King of Beggars' men wear gang-colored and patterned kerchiefs that cover their faces from the nose down, while Whoreson Junior's gang wears clown makeup and various masquerade masks.
* The Testaments of ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'' wear concealing robes, hoods, gloves, and blank face masks; in fact, before each individual {{Reveal}}, they're simply referred to by the color of their mask and robes (Black Testament, Red Testament, etc) -- this being the only way to tell them apart, other than their voices. At first, not so much malevolent as really, really mysterious, but later in the series, they're definitely antagonists. [[spoiler: Except for Albedo. He's TheMole.]]
* In ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'', if Yan-chan joins the Drama club, she gets access to mask she can use to conceal her identity when she kills someone. However, ItOnlyWorksOnce; if witnesses note the murderer was wearing a mask, the headmaster will ban them from school grounds. Also, if Senpai witnesses her murder someone while wearing a mask, he'll rip it off her and expose her.
----
* ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed:''
** Several of the ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood'' multiplayer characters wear masks, such as [[AnAxeToGrind the Executioner]], [[DeadlyDoctor the Doctor]] [[RuleOfThree and]] [[MonsterClown the Harlequin]].
** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedOrigins'' gives us the Order of the Ancients, the Egyptian equivalent of the Templars with their members wearing masks representing which temples they work for while also serving as the puppet masters behind the scenes.
** ''Videogame/AssassinsCreedOdyssey'' has the Cult of Kosmos, who are essentially the Order of the Ancients of Ancient Greece. Like them, their members also wear masks to indicate their membership.
* ''VideoGame/{{Ato}}'': Due to [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals the setting of the game]], Malevolent Masked Animals might be more accurate. That said, the villains of the game are a mysterious group of masked animals who have kidnapped [[PlayerCharacter the warrior]]'s baby.
* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta 2}}'' introduces a new character acting as TheRival for Bayonetta, a [[LightIsNotGood Lumen Sage]] wearing a mask that resembles [[ThePowerOfTheSun the Sun]]. Given that he is intent on the [[WouldHurtAChild death]] of [[MouthyKid Loki]] and fights almost exactly like Bayonetta, using light-themed versions of her moves, he fits this trope to a T. [[spoiler: ...[[SubvertedTrope or not]]. He actually has [[{{Revenge}} his reasons]] for wanting to kill Loki ([[FrameUp he thinks]] that he [[YouKilledMyFather killed his lover]]), and even then this is because he was a pawn of [[BigBad Loptr]]]].
* Sammy Lawrence from ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'' wears a mask made from a cut-out of Bendy. Considering that Bendy was originally a cartoon demon and is now an EldritchAbomination, this qualifies as a monster mask. Sammy is also Bendy's so-called prophet.
* The Splicers from ''VideoGame/BioShock'' and ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' often wear Venetian masks. Possibly justified, as it's stated in Audio-Logs that everything really went to hell in Rapture on New Year's Day. It also helps cover up their ugly deformities from excessive plasmid use and abuse.
** ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' has the Zealots of the Lady, the Columbian Soldiers, and the Vox Populi rebels. The Zealots of the Lady wear what is effectively a UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan robe mixed with Freemason medals so they hide their faces in pointy hoods. The Columbian forces have several masks: women have porcelain masks or metal masks in the shape of Lady Liberty with glowing eyes, and for men, it can be a full face mask or a half-face mask. Vox Populi wear simpler but no less creepy masks ranging from simple bandannas to porcelain masks and hoods with eyes that glow. The {{DLC}} ''Burial at Sea'' have the splicers, who wear papier-mâché masks, masks made out of mannequin faces, or the masks used at the New Year's Masquerade, again to hide their growing deformities from [=ADAM=] abuse.
* Relius Clover of ''VideoGame/BlazBlue''. A man who sought perfection in everything, a man who turned his family except his son to automatons without conscience, and [[ManOfWealthAndTaste a man who likes opera very much]].
* ''VideoGame/BodyBlows'': Puppet, one of several extraterrestrial fighters introduced in ''Body Blows Galactic'', wears a Venetian style mask that has a similar appearance to those worn by real-life {{Plague Doctor}}s (though in his case, the beak of the mask is stubby). Considering that the planet he resides on is called "Miasma" (after the Miasma theory of infection for which the plague doctor suits were thought to be able to protect against), it's likely no coincidence.
* Most human enemies in ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' are masked or otherwise outfitted with face-concealing equipment unless they're named (and sometimes even then). In general, you fight two main categories of human enemies. The first are Bandits, who use a haphazard mixture of whatever's available, although some have unique properties -- most notably, Goliaths enter a melee-focused rage state and start attacking everything nearby when their crude metal helmets are shot off. The second are Hyperion troopers, who favour a CyberCyclops look on their dedicated military and a welding mask for their Engineers. BigBad Handsome Jack wears a mask based on his own features, [[spoiler:to conceal the scars]]. Among the player characters, two of them are usually or always masked -- cold, merciless assassin [=Zer0=], and violently unhinged psycho (that's literally his class) Krieg, who are two of the least ethical people even among the Vault Hunters.
* Oscar from ''VideoGame/BrinkOfConsciousnessDorianGraySyndrome'' is a malevolent masked MagnificentBastard.
* ''VideoGame/BugFables'' has the Leafbug tribe in the [[BubblegloopSwamp Wild Swamplands]]. They all wear leaf masks, and they're a warrior tribe who attack all outsiders on sight.
* ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' has the Raincoat Cult. Aside from [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the obvious]], they all go around in Green Goblin-esque masks.
* ''VideoGame/DeadSecret'' has the Woodcutter wearing a Japanese Noh mask and is a killer, who will also attack Patricia, if she is caught. Subverted with the spirit seen wearing the Japanese Oni mask, who is not a threat and usually appears as a way to give wordless clues.
* The Assassins from ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'' wear masks. The masks are those of the Whalers and are in no short supply in the city of Dunwall.
** Corvo's mask counts as one on a high chaos playthrough. But good or evil, the steampunk grim-reaper visage is so shocking that civilians will go into a terror-filled panic if they see you.
* ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'' features the villainous group known as the Agito, with each member having their own unique masks and proving themselves to be in one way or another a deadly force that menaces those that they despise. Their masks are an iconic part of their design, with some of their main drops being their mask fragments and in [[HarderThanHard Legend difficulty]], a generic evil-looking mask symbolizes the Berserk condition they have. The masks themselves are stated to [[spoiler: amplify their emotions, fueling their madness and desire to inflict harm on their opposers even more, with Valyx who was made to wear one proving to be much more aggressive and vicious when wearing one compared to his usual stoic nature otherwise.]] The one exception that doesn't wear a mask is their leader, [[spoiler: Nedrick.]]
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
** In the ActionAdventure spin-off game ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsAdventuresRedguard Redguard]]'', the lower half of [[TheDragon Dram's]] face is always hidden under his mask.
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'':
*** All three [[BigBad Big Bads]] of the game and its two expansions wear full-face masks into their respective [[BossFight Boss Fights]].
*** All three (four, including the Mask of Clavicus Vile) variants of the [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Daedric]] helmet are shaped like scary faces.
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'':
*** Cultists of the [[ReligionOfEvil Mythic]] [[ApocalypseCult Dawn]] will summon special sets of Daedric armor with human-face-shaped masks before combat.
*** The Gray Cowl is a gift of the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Prince]] [[TheSacredDarkness Nocturnal]] which can make its wearer an uncatchable criminal. It is also ''cursed'', and removing the curse is a major part of the ThievesGuild questline.
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'':
*** Most of the named [[SinisterMinister Dragon Priests]] were given powerfully enchanted masks as symbols of authority. Their cruelty and malevolence was second only to the dragons themselves. They serve as powerful [[MiniBoss Mini-Bosses]] throughout the game.
*** [[BigBad Miraak]] and his cultists in the ''Dragonborn'' DLC all wear similar masks.
*** In fact, the only named Dragon Priest who ''doesn't'' wear a mask is Vahlok the Jailer, who defeated Miraak long ago and is said to be a ''good'' ruler in the legends of the [[NobleSavage Skaal]].
* ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce EXTRAPOWER Attack of Darkforce]]'': Both the Yami Clan and Tarantula's common foot soldiers wear masks over their faces. At least in the case of Tarantula, there's presumably a face under them.
* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' [[CannibalClan The White Glove Society.]] wear masks that cover the lower part of their face. Their leader believes the masks give them a "mysterious allure" but all it does is make them creepier in the eyes of others.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has Legate Gaius van Baelsar and his lieutenants, all of whom wear magitek-empowered suits of armor with face-concealing masks. [[spoiler:The [[GreaterScopeEvil Ascians]] also wear masks that cover the top halves of their faces.]]
* The Death Knight and the Flame Emperor in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' wear masks that conceal their faces and disguise their voices. [[spoiler:The Death Knight's case is a ZigZaggingTrope: in his initial appearances (as Jeritza), he wears a white DominoMask that only covers half his face, and he isn't suspected of being the Death Knight until he kidnaps Flayn midway through Part I. In Part II, he ditches both masks on the Crimson Flower route but keeps the Death Knight mask on all others. The Flame Emperor (Edelgard) goes maskless much earlier: during the Holy Tomb raid, she either has it [[DramaticUnmask forcibly removed]] (if the player chose the Blue Lions or Golden Deer), or simply stops wearing it after admitting to being the Flame Emperor (if the player chose the Black Eagles).]]
* In ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear Xrd'', the Conclave is a massively powerful governmental force that controls most of the world and is run by a trio of mask-wearing individuals [[GovernmentConspiracy with a vested interest in wiping out humanity]].
* [[NoNameGiven Jacket]] of ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami'' wears a variety of creepy animal masks before each mission. These masks give perks such as making unarmed punches lethal, walking faster, or starting a mission already equipped with a weapon. [[spoiler: Later on you find out there's an ''organization'' of the animal masked killers...]]
* In ''[[https://youtu.be/ReUH5rbrJ60 Kung Fu Chivalry]]'', the third boss wears a metal Greek drama-style mask [[TheBlank with eye slits but no other facial features]].
* ''VideoGame/TheLastDoor'' has a yet-unidentified cabal of creepy people in yellow robes wearing expressive white masks that reveal themselves to the protagonist.
* ''[[VideoGame/GanbareGoemon The Legend of the Mystical Ninja]]'' has armies of {{mooks}} wearing ''kyōgen'' and ''otafuku'' masks.
* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends:''
** [[TheDividual Kindred]] consists of two individuals, both masked. [[TheStoic Lamb]] wears a full face mask in the shape of a wolf, making her appear completely emotionless to fit her personality. [[TheBrute Wolf,]] largely resembling an actual wolf, wears a half-mask which covers the upper part of his face, partially because his jaws extend far out from underneath and partially to emphasize his hunger and gluttony.
** [[TheSociopath Jhin]] wears ''two'' masks: one with a plain black leather covering obscuring his entire body and an ornately carved ivory mask on top of it. He acts as a covert assassin for a shadowy cabal, so it would make sense for him to hide his identity, and many of his voice lines reference his killings as being the only true way to express himself.
--> ''Only to the audience do I show my true face."''
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' has a boss and some mooks which you must remove a mask from before you can hit them.
** Lots of different masks appear in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' in the Happy Mask Shop in Hyrule Castle Market.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' game is all about masks. There are three masks that can change you into a Zora, Goron, and a Deku Scrub, as well as a whole inventory of masks that you collect and you can wear them, using some of the powers that the masks have. Also at the Carnival Of Time, all the townspeople wear masks as part of a tradition. Then there's the [[EvilMask evil Majora's Mask]] that you must defeat.
** ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' has Young Link's intro invoke the trope, by having him play his ocarina ominously and then swing around his oversized Kokiri Sword while wearing his Keaton Mask... except it falls off midway through.
* The Pigmasks in ''VideoGame/Mother3.'' Their general is also specifically known as the Masked Man, but his isn't a pig mask.
* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' has characters who wear masks and are extremely dangerous, including:
** Destroyman, a wannabe superhero wish a masked costume, deadly gadgets, and a twisted mind.
** Letz Shake, a Singaporean rock star with a mask covering his mouth and an Earthquake Maker superweapon.
** Harvey Moiseiwitsch Volodarrskii, a stage magician with deadly tricks and a mask covering the left side of his face like Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera.
** Dark Star, a [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] {{expy}} with a [[{{BFS}} massive]] dragon-bladed beam katana.
** Matt Helms, a PsychopathicManchild wearing a creepy cartoon mask and wielding a combination axe[=/=]flamethrower.
** Badman, the {{Deuteragonist}} of ''VideoGame/TravisStrikesAgainNoMoreHeroes'', a vengeful mask-wearing bat-wielding beer-swilling assassin.
* [[LoliconAndShotacon Yōko]] of ''[[VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}} Onmyōji]]'' wears a fox mask, indicating his [[FauxAffablyEvil deceptive]] nature. He even [[LampshadeHanging points this out]].
-->'''Yōko:''' A masked man can't be trusted, can he?
* The bank robbers of ''VideoGame/PAYDAYTheHeist'' all wear creepy clown masks.
** The sequel ''VideoGame/{{PAYDAY 2}}'' sports more heisters with more standard clown masks, and an enormous amount of unlockable and customizable masks, among them more clowns, animals, Santas, pop-culture references, a PlagueDoctor, and lots of original masks.
* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
** Each shadow in ''VideoGame/Persona3'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4'' wears a mask that [=IDs=] it with one of the [[TarotMotifs major Arcana]]. The word ''persona'' itself literally means "mask."
** Aside from the Shadows, several character-specific Personas from throughout the series wear additional masks to hide their own inhuman facial features.
** ''VideoGame/Persona2'' has the Masked Circle, an evil cult whose masks are revealed to be [[spoiler: twisted parodies of the [[Franchise/PowerRangers Power Ranger]]-esque ''[[ShowWithinAShow Phoenix Ranger Featherman R]]'' masks worn by the main characters when they were children]]. Another example is ''Eternal Punishment''[='s=] version of JOKER, a serial killer who wears a BrownBagMask with a creepy SlasherSmile drawn on it.
** ''VideoGame/Persona5'': Many [[TheHeartless Shadows]] take the form of humans with the various arcana masks in place of a face in dungeons. Once battle starts [[ChestBurster they burst apart and change into demonic forms]].
* The Armada from ''VideoGame/{{Pirate101}}'' all wear white Venetian-style masks. The higher ranked ones have black and gold trim except for Deacon, he wears a solid white Batu. Since they are all clockworks, there is nothing underneath but machinery.
* The resident villain team of ''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'', Team Break, lack a full uniform like the others, instead appearing as regular trainer classes wearing a two-tone DominoMask.
* The Masked Gentleman from ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheMiracleMask''. His sole intent is to destroy the city of Monte d'Or, using all the supernatural abilities the [[MaskOfPower Mask of Chaos]] gives him. [[spoiler:The mask is a fake, his abilities are fake, but the malevolence is real and a fake mask is still a mask, so he still counts.]]
* The Butcher from ''VideoGame/PurgatoryRPGMaker'' is an AxCrazy SerialKiller who wears a WhiteMaskOfDoom.
* In ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'', the Van der Linde gang will wear bandannas masking their faces when committing robberies and various crimes, of course. In a case of SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome, the game will probably treat it as a PaperThinDisguise if the player doesn't make the necessary steps of changing his other clothes too.
* In ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', the [[EliteMooks Umbrella Secret Service]] all wear [[GasMaskMooks gas masks]] to hide their identities and to protect from the hazardous conditions where they are deployed. The most infamous member, HUNK, has only ever come [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/residentevil/images/b/ba/Hunkc.png/revision/latest?cb=20110408010542 this close]] to showing his face (unless you count his alternate costume in the unreleased non-canon ''Outbreak File #3'' which looks [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/residentevil/images/d/db/HunkA.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111014154351 considerably different]]). There's also the unnamed [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/residentevil/images/9/9e/UTCommander.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111128145034 UT Commander]] that commands the [[HumanoidAbomination Under Takers]].
* The main villain of ''VideoGame/ReZeroStartingLifeInAnotherWorldTheProphecyOfTheThrone'' is Wolf, who literally refers to himself as "the Malevolent Masked Magician". He has various masks attached to his robe, which he uses to express different emotions.
* The Masked Man, BigBad of ''VideoGame/RuneFactoryOceans'', well... wears a mask. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Obviously.]]
* Thanatos of ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'' - for a 16-bit pixellated fellow he's shockingly eerie, too.
** His energy-sapped fanboys wear freaky full-faced masks too. [=NPCs=] comment on this, too, along the lines of: "What's with all those masked weirdoes in the ruins?"
** Thanatos's mask is echoed by the one worn by Hakuoro of ''VisualNovel/{{Utawarerumono}}'', incidentally. It really is the exact same mask writ animated, complete with the quirky little mark at the top of it.
** [[spoiler:Considering Thanatos was in dire need of a new host, plus his true nature as a lich, it may very well be that he isn't wearing a mask at all...]]
* Quite a few of the secret societies in ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'' are in the habit of wearing weird and disturbing masks: Illuminati employees wear gas masks -- as can the player character should you choose to join them; {{Oni}} almost always wear masks, with members of the [[TheLegionsOfHell Nine Houses]] dressing in traditional Noh masks or black wrappings, while members of the [[PrivateMilitaryContractors House-In-Exile]] wear gas masks to symbolize their allegiance to the Illuminati (except for their leader, who wears a golden MaskOfPower); and of course, the Rabbit Killer wears a massive cartoon rabbit mask. [[spoiler: And so do her twin sisters.]]
* In ''VideoGame/SniperEliteIII'', the main villain of the ''Save Churchill'' DLC is a famed German assassin who wears a metal mask to hide a facial disfigurement. He commands [[EliteMooks a crack squad of snipers]] who wear similar masks.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** More than one Sith Lord in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' and its sequel. Darth Malak wears not exactly a mask, but a metal prosthetic plate thingy covering his lack of a jaw. Darth Revan wore an abstract/blank mask that emphasizes his mysterious anonymity. Darth Nihilus has a creepy, vaguely skull-like mask that gives him an inhuman look, which is befitting of Nihilus' nature, as he really ''isn't'' human anymore. He is, more or less, a living black hole in The Force whose life essence is bound to his mask.
** Some Sith in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' carry on the tradition. Notable examples include Darth Malgus, who wears a Malak-style chin guard (like Malak's, it covers [[FrontlineGeneral an old war wound]]); Darth Marr, who favors an abstract Revan-style mask that suits his status as [[PragmaticVillainy an even-keeled figure not given to overt displays]]; and the Dread Masters, who wear [[BlingOfWar customized red-and-gold masks]] that emphasize their decadence and [[PowerBornOfMadness inhumanity]].
* From ''VideoGame/{{Syndicate}}'' (2012), apart from all the FacelessGoons, there's Agent Ramon, [[spoiler: the Twins]], and Miles yourself from a certain point of view.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Tyranny}}'', the Archon of Justice (and possibly other Archons) appears to wear a shiny metal mask covering his whole face. Considering the [[EvilOverlord kind of ruler]] he administers "justice" for, he probably qualifies as malevolent.
* The kidnapper in ''Videogame/WelcomeToTheGame'' is shown to be wearing a balaclava when he [[JumpScare greets you]].
* The thugs of the three Novigrad gangs in ''Videogame/TheWitcher3'' all cover their faces in various ways. Cleaver's and the King of Beggars' men wear gang-colored and patterned kerchiefs that cover their faces from the nose down, while Whoreson Junior's gang wears clown makeup and various masquerade masks.
* The Testaments of ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'' wear concealing robes, hoods, gloves, and blank face masks; in fact, before each individual {{Reveal}}, they're simply referred to by the color of their mask and robes (Black Testament, Red Testament, etc) -- this being the only way to tell them apart, other than their voices. At first, not so much malevolent as really, really mysterious, but later in the series, they're definitely antagonists. [[spoiler: Except for Albedo. He's TheMole.]]
