* Dolf taking over the country in a Nazi like dictatorship, causing Alfred and his friends to flee to a neighbouring country.

* In the final episode, as a final revenge on Alfred, Dolf escapes from prison and tooks Winnie as hostage. He even threatens to ''shoot her'' in front of Professor Paljas. Later Dolf reveals his evil plan to Winnie; he tells Alfred that they are in desert and he has to bring the ransom there. But the real thing is that Dolf and Winnie are still in the country and the desert-ploy is just that Alfred would ''die'' in there!

** Dolf's dream is really unnerving.

* In the final episode, as a final revenge on Alfred, Dolf escapes from prison and tooks Winnie as hostage. He even threatens to ''shoot her'' in front of Professor Paljas.

* Dolf's dream in final episode is at least unnerving.

* The very second episode is already traumatic. After getting acquainted with Alfred's parents, and seeing them raise a family only to be driven from their home, they and Alfred's baby brothers and sisters are all killed by a speeding car. The vehicle arrives, they look up to see the flash lights and then- wham!- they're simply gone. Alfred only managed to survive because he had wandered off by himself again.

* Dolf taking over the country in a Nazi like dictatorship, causing Alfred and his friends to flee to a neighbouring country.
** The first episode in the arc (22) is particularly chilling in it's simplicity.

* During a demonstration of a scale model of his fully-automated fishing boat, Hannibal uses it to catch one of the fishes in K. Rokodil's aquarium, who is then promptly processed and canned by the boat's inner workings. Eerily reminiscent of that scene in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' with Judge Doom and the shoe.
* During an expedition in the jungle, Alfred and the others are captured by some angry natives who decide to cook them into soup. Alfred is picked to go first and promptly lowered into a cauldron of boiling water for several minutes as he cries out in pain. When he is finally released, he's even turned completely red! Fortunately, he recovers not long after, but it's still disturbing to watch.

* When Dolf is running for the presidency of Great Waterland, Lispel goes to meet him at night and tries to blackmail him after finding out about his illicit activities. Just as Lispel thinks he's gonna get handsomely rewarded, Dolf pulls out a gun, and with [[RedEyesTakeWarning crazy red eyes]] declares "You're going to die" before opening fire. An amazingly dark scene straight out of a gangster flick.

* The Evil Genie of Darkness. Up until that point in the series, Alfred had only faced things like schoolyard bullies and foreign spies, making this guy an especially intimidating OutsideContextVillain thanks to his omnipotent powers and his tendency to eat whoever is foolish enough to release him from his bottle.

* The two-parter about two countries at war over their differing religions features a pretty intense scene of warfare, with infantry, tanks, and airplanes all going up against each other, and punctuated with a massive bomb exploding. [[BloodlessCarnage Nobody dies onscreen]], but the implications are clear that hundreds of animals lose their lives in the battle.

* Alfred and his friends visiting the Royal Castle on Alfred's birthday. Grabby the magpie steals the crown jewel during a tour, prompting Alfred to be accused of stealing it and then thrown into jail, where he spends a night alone in the castle, and is even told that his trial the next day will likely end with his own execution. Keep in mind that Alfred is just 1 year old at this point. The worst part is that his adoptive father, Henk, isn't informed about this and worries himself all that time.

* Alfred travelling to a country where black ducks are oppressed by white geese. Disturbing when you're a kid, especially disturbing when you get older and realize this is a reference to South Africa's apartheid policy, which at the time this series aired (1989), was still in effect.

* Alfred and Dolf, trapped at the bottom a well somewhere in a lonely snowy landscape. To make matters worse, Scratchnail discovers them and tries to get at them so he can eat them.

* * In the sixth episode, Alfred and his school friends join in a triathlon. Since Dolf wants his buddy Hannes to win no matter what, he slips him some pills he lifted from the pharmacy to give him a tremendous energy boost. Unfortunately, as the pills were meant for elephants, they have some serious side-effects, and by the end, as Hannes stands triumphantly on the podium after winning the race, he suddenly begins to swell up to the size of an elephant, complete with his beak growing as long as an elephant's trunk.

* The hungry squid that tries to eat Alfred and on their way to the South Pole. His crazy eyes, deep voice, and NaughtyTentacles don't help matters.

* The opening sequence always featured a strange BigLippedAlligatorMoment, where Alfred is travelling by elephant. Suddenly he is lifted from the carriage by a huge black claw. In a brief flash moment you see a horrible skeletonlike creature who zaps him away! The worst part? It happened every time in the opening sequence, though the creature itself was never shown, nor explained in ANY of the episodes!

** While they are in the well, Dolf taunts Alfred for being raised by a mole, and says that in the Middle Ages, Alfred would've been banish out of town for being different. [[ImagineSpot Alfred's imagination then runs wild]], as he envisions himself in a medieval court with his personal teacher (with a truly awful NightmareFace) sentencing him to be banished. The dream sequence goes further with Alfred being yelled at by the townsfolk and then literally thrown out behind the city walls. And there he stands, alone, with no friends at all.
* Alfred and his class visiting the Royal Castle for a school trip. One of Alfred's friends is a magpie and thus steals the crown jewel. Alfred is held suspect and then thrown inside jail, where he spends a night alone in the castle, and is even told that his trial the next day will likely end with his own execution. Keep in mind that Alfred is just 1 year old at this point. The worst part is that his adoptive father, Henk, isn't informed about this and worries himself all that time.

* Alfred and Dolph trapped inside a well somewhere in a lonely snowy landscape. To make matters worse a large cat discovers them and tries to get to them below...

* There was an episode where Alfred and the children in his school attend a sporting event. Dolph gives one of the kids some medicins to make him stronger. Unfortunately he doesn't know that this medicin is actually made for elephants. The kid beats Alfred in the final race, but as they are waiting to receive their gold medals he doesn't feel so well. Suddenly the side effects kick in! The kid's body swells up and his nose starts to grow like an elephant's trunk. This seriously creeped this troper out when he was small.
