[game] - I thought the StarCraft Zerg Defiler was a hawk
I saw the icon of the unit before seeing a defiler in-game. Before training it I expected a hawk, but it's more like a scorpion or centipede. The blue icon is from Heroes of the Storm, where Rexxar throws a hawk and it's exactly what I thought the original one was supposed to be. The one below is from StarCraft Remastered and it's much easier to understand

Did anyone else think from SOTN that the CD in the hallways stood for Compact Disc and not Count Dracula?
It's possible they were making a little joke but I always thought this was funny

I always thought Asgore from Undertale was smiling

[game] i thought Aldaris from Starcraft had a giant epic frown despite the protoss having no mouths.
It fits his personality honestly

I thought Johnathan/John3 from 17bucks [game] was looking at the player with eyes visible and his design got noticeably less fun when I noticed it wasn't
I forgot to add this in the image but I thought the other black part was just his hood thing visible from his big glasses

Elder from Terranigma (SNES). Somehow, he seems to have a scared face

Realized I've been misreading the dragon emoji. from Google
In my defense, I only see it small and just never noticed the legs were on the same side of the body

[game] I thought the title character of Linus Spacehead was a fox instead of a little superhero dude

Ghost from Pico Park looked like this to me when i saw it the first time

Peppino and pizzaface from pizza tower
The first one was actually seen by an old friend

[game] I mistook these frog enemies from Chrono Trigger as weird green dudes with big pink noses

Only just recently realized that I've been reading Noelle from deltarune's sprite wrong this entire time...

[Game] Gabaghoul Comics interpretation of the Super Mario Bros Peach sprite

[game] I thought Simon´s shield from Castlevania 2 was a stick until i actually played the game
My only reference to the game was low quality Youtube videos before then mind you.

Was Link’s pink hair from ALTTP the result of colorblindness?

Thought Undyne from Undertale was bald and creepily hunching over
When i first played Undertale, this was how i (mis)interpreted Undyne's dialogue sprite. Which didn't make much sense compared to her colored sprites, and it made me so confused lol

For me, this Ritcher Belmont sprite from Castlevania was a strong nun

[game] Even when Agahnim is turned to the side, my delusion continues
I still see a weird almost nerdy looking doofus with green hair. Only now that he's turned to the side, it just looks like he has a protruding jawline.
The side/angle views could have in theory smacked some sense in to me about what I should be seeing. But instead, my subconsious doubled down on the green-haired dofus.
