What is the most common Japanese word to use when referring to any kind of
enemy in a video game. I know the word モンスター is common for non-human enemies,
but is there just a general term for any kind of enemy? Thank you

What word is used for an enemy in a Video Game?
As far as I know, the most general term for an opponent or enemy is 敵【てき】.
This applies to enemies in games, as well.

Native speaker here. 敵{てき}キャラ might be what you are looking for. You could use
敵 if you wanted to but that word is so general that it is used in a war in
real life as well. 敵 just does not give off the fun feeling that 敵キャラ and
モンスター do for the player.
