Added DiffLines:

* Book VIII's introduction video starts off relatively tame in featuring off the new hero Ratatoskr seeing a picture of Alfonse and meeting the Order of Heroes, but when they greet her, she starts ''crying'' and hugs Alfonse which confuses everyone present (a very bad sign). Later into the video, Hræsvelgr and Níðhöggr each antagonize the heroes as per the norm with Níðhöggr targeting Veronica with a form of poisoning after having seen a picture of her earlier, making it abundantly clear that the Askrans and Emblian royals are actively being singled out and hunted down by malevolent forces rather than getting caught up in some realm-wide conflict, but the worst part comes at the end of the video; we see Henriette's picture within an empty room and watch as it promptly '''burns'''. That does not paint a pretty picture of Henriette's potential fate, marking her as a target—yet another Fire Emblem protagonist parent likely to die before the game's end after she and her children already lost Gustav way back in Book III (and with Henriette herself already having been targeted for assassination once before). One can only hope that she ends up averting the ignoble fate that so many other parents in the series seem to be unable to escape from.

Added DiffLines:

** Her combat art (attack, special, and damaged) manages to up the scare factor: Whereas other units' combat arts tend to face the enemy they are attacking, Ginnungagap does the same, with one noticeable difference: [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou She's constantly looking at the player]]. No matter what she does, she never keeps her eye off of you, almost as if telling the player "you're next".

Even a more lighthearted crossover such as ''Fire Emblem Heroes'' can induce terror into the hearts of many fans with surprisingly creepy or outright horrifying moments.

* Embla's [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/feheroes_gamepedia_en/images/b/be/Embla_God_of_Closure_TransformMap_Mini_Unit_Idle.png/ beast]] [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/feheroes_gamepedia_en/images/2/2d/Embla_God_of_Closure_Transform_Mini_Unit_Ready.png/ form]] is significantly different from those of her retainer Elm and the generic bat enemies. While transformed, she hardly resembles a conventional animal; she maintains a vaguely humanoid form, and even keeps her long, unkempt hair. Everything else about the transformation is monstrous: bat's feet with blood-red claws; huge, hulking hands adorned with sharp-looking, golden finger armor; massive, somewhat holed wings that may be even bigger than her body, and a single, bloodshot eye with a red pupil. That eye is not in her head where one might think it'd be, but in her ''abdomen.'' Embla has no eye(s) in her head while she is transformed.

* Many ''Fire Emblem'' villains tend to be hideous and/or menacing in their physical appearance, but not ''bizarre'' to say the least, with even the likes of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones Fomortiis]] looking like a standard beast. And then there's '''[[EldritchAbomination Ginnungagap]]''', the ruler of nothingness and the ArcVillain of the "Nihility & Dream" Tempest Trials series (pictured above), whose appearance alone could give the old design of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Duma]] a run for its money. Ginnungagap is a HumanoidAbomination with a CelestialBody, with galaxy-patterned skin, no discernable facial features, and tentacles ''everywhere''; on her lower body, her armor, and even her hair. Even worse, her "face" only has ''one eye'', which makes her head resemble that of a [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Mogall]]. Her bizarre NonStandardCharacterDesign resembles '''''something from a CosmicHorrorStory that would make H.P. Lovecraft blush''''' rather than a ''Fire Emblem'' character, which all adds to just how inhuman and alien she really is.



* Fallen Female Byleth is already unsettling due to how cold, demanding and violent Sothis is, but her appearance in Forging Bonds is even more so. Remember, in this scenario this is supposed to be the mainline Byleth from ''Three Houses'', not the Byleth consumed by grief in the ''Three Hopes'' routes where Shez kills Jeralt. As such, her relationship with Sothis is ''far'' more cordial and respectful then it was portrayed as in ''Hopes'', but when an enemy ambush forces Sothis to take direct control of Byleth, she suddenly becomes ruthlessly pragmatic, accusing Sharena of luring her into a trap and threatening to execute her before being calmed down.

* Many ''Fire Emblem'' main villains thus far can be hideous and menacing in their physical appearance, but not ''bizarre'' to say the least, with even the likes of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones Fomortiis]] looking like a standard beast. However, this definitely changed after the reveal of '''[[EldritchAbomination Ginnungagap]]''', the ruler of nothingness and the ArcVillain of the "Nihility & Dream" Tempest Trials series, whose appearance could give the old design of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Duma]] a run for its money. Ginnungagap is a HumanoidAbomination combined with CelestialBody, with galaxy-patterned skin, no discernable facial features, and tentacle armor forming her lower body and hair. Even worse, her "face" only has '''one eye''' which makes her head resemble a [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Mogall]], depicting her appearance as inhuman and alien as possible. Her bizarre NonStandardCharacterDesign resembles '''''something from a CosmicHorrorStory''''' more than a usual ''Fire Emblem'' design.
