In the Chinese zodiac calendar, 2020 is the year of the rat. It started on January 25th, 2020 and ends on February 11th, 2021. One's Chinese zodiac identity can tell their fortune and identify personality traits that will make or break relationships.
With the PlayStation 5 on the approach, now's a better time than ever to look back at the greatest PlayStation villains. PlayStation villains have shaped the video game industry. Deep down, most of us have a little evil-doing in our hearts. You might share more in common with these characters than you think. Which PlayStation villain are you based on your Chinese zodiac?
12 Rat: David (The Last Of Us)
2020 is the year of the rat, and it's also the year of The Last of Us Part II. Looking back, we remember David as the main antagonist of the winter section of The Last of Us. His crimes include kidnapping, manipulation, torture, cannibalism, and more. His heinous acts are irrefutable evidence that he is one of the most dangerous villains in PlayStation history.
David is resourceful and cunning like a rat, but he lacks courage. He seizes the moment when it arises, even if his intentions are foul. If you were born in the year of the rat, you are David.
11 Ox: Zeus (God Of War)
King of the Olympian gods, Zeus, is the main antagonist of the God of War series. Kratos has feelings of disdain towards his father (revealed by Athena) for Zeus's betrayal. This twist continues to affect the plot of the recent God of War games.
The Zeus from God of War differs from the one in Greek mythology. Oxen spend too much time working, much like how Zeus controls Mount Olympus. He lives in a state of irrational suspicion and has a temperament like an ox. You are Zeus from God of War!
10 Tiger: Dr. Neo Cortex (Crash Bandicoot)
Dr. Neo Cortex is one of PlayStation's most diabolical and recognizable villains. Some tigers are stubborn, and there are others who have high confidence. Crash Bandicoot's Dr. Neo Cortex is somewhere in between.
He is stubborn in taking over the world, yet he is confident as a leader. Those who fall under the Chinese zodiac animal tiger never go back on what they say. Were you born in the year of the Tiger? You are Dr. Neo Cortex!
9 Rabbit: Norman Osborn (Spider-Man)
He didn't show his true colors in Spider-Man PlayStation 4 as the Green Goblin, yet the first installment did introduce him as a character. Both the Green Goblin and Norman Osborn are disliked in the Spider-Man universe.
Like the zodiac rabbit, Norman Osborn is gentle and wouldn't hurt a fly. The rabbit wants to escape reality but doesn't reveal its mind. You are Norman Osborn from Spider-Man!
8 Dragon: Rafe Adler (Uncharted 4: A Thief's End)
The dragon is unlike the other Chinese zodiac animals because it is fictional. The dragon represents power and intelligence. With leadership qualities, Rafe Adler from Uncharted 4: A Thief's End shows he is a dragon.
He betrays his friends Nathan and Samuel Drake because of his greed. Dragons represent many good things, but can also be aggressive and not open to criticism. If you were born in the year of the dragon, you are Rafe Adler!
7 Snake: Psycho Mantis (Metal Gear Solid)
Psycho Mantis was one of the leading members of FOXHOUND, who were involved in the hostile takeover of Shadow Moses Island. He is a recurring villain in the Metal Gear Solid franchise.
As the snake Chinese zodiac animal, Psycho Mantis is highly intelligent. He can read minds, which is why he constructed a gas mask to prevent thoughts from spreading into his head. Despite their intelligence, snakes like to work alone and say little. You are Psycho Mantis!
6 Horse: Vaas Montenegro (Far Cry 3)
Although Hoyt Volker is the main antagonist of Far Cry 3, his right-hand man Vaas Montenegro stood out in the game. Vaas became the leader of the Pirates, a group of criminals that came to the Rook Islands.
The horse Chinese zodiac animal can be self-centered, showing they aren't interested in helping others. We wouldn't exactly say that Vaas is intelligent, but he is crafty. Very animated and lively, Vaas is often seen in group settings. Were you born in the year of the horse? You are Vaas Montenegro!
5 Goat: Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII Remake)
This menacing figure from Final Fantasy 7 Remake was once the most powerful SOLDIER. After being an elusive character who may or may not have been a figment of Cloud's imagination, he finally appears and assassinates President Shinra.
The goat is mild-mannered and has a first-class appearance. While Sephiroth doesn't appear menacing, he is tough to the bone. Sephiroth wants everyone to see the world the way he does. Sephiroth's story is one of revenge. If you were born in the year of the goat, you are Sephiroth!
4 Monkey: Higgs Monaghan (Death Stranding)
Also known as the "Man in the Golden Mask," Higgs Monaghan is a fitting monkey. He is the master of manipulation but is also capable of being manipulated. His heinous acts show he doesn't use his talents for the right reasons.
Monkeys accept challenges and can be eccentric when completing them. After being seduced by Amelie, Higgs rose to power in Homo Demens, a group of militant separatists. Were you born in the year of the monkey? You are Higgs Monaghan from Death Stranding.
3 Rooster: Joker (Batman: The Telltale Series)
Before you pick apart this picture, cursing the skies because it isn't from the Batman: Arkham series, understand that Batman: The Telltale Series is a great point-and-click graphic adventure game. Play Batman: The Telltale Series and Batman: The Enemy Within to get the full story.
Joker's motives are unclear, other than wanting to bring madness to the people of Gotham City. Roosters are talkative and love the spotlight. Like a rooster, Joker loves to join social gatherings, even if he isn't invited. You are intelligent and manipulative. Is your Chinese zodiac animal the rooster? You are the Joker.
2 Dog: Micah Bell (Red Dead Redemption 2)
Micah Bell is wildly unpredictable in Red Dead Redemption 2. Like the dog Chinese zodiac animal, Micah can show loyalty to Dutch van der Linde, even if it was superficial.
The dog has a stubborn personality and isn't a good communicator. Even by outlaw standards, Micah is a dangerous person. He is a hitman, robber, informant, and gang leader throughout the Red Dead Redemption series. If you were born in the year of the dog, you are Micah Bell!
1 Pig: HADES (Horizon Zero Dawn)
The main antagonist of Horizon Zero Dawn, HADES, is an artificial intelligence that went rogue. As a robot, HADES works tirelessly to restart GAIA's terraforming of Earth during the 31st century.
Calm and collective, HADES is the pig Chinese zodiac animal. The pig is diligent and has superior concentration. Pigs are easily deceived since they don't fully understand human emotions. Evidently, robots can have zodiac animals. You are HADES from Horizon Zero Dawn!
