History NightmareFuel / StarFox

* The transformation of [[spoiler:Pigma Dengar]] into half-machine thanks to the Aparoids in ''Star Fox Assault''...truly a FateWorseThanDeath.
** [[spoiler:[[AxCrazy Pigma]]]] himself, period.

* A small one occurs in Area 6 and the lower Venom path with the calls you can answer. You answer, expecting it to be ROB 64 sending you supplies or lending you the ''Great Fox''[='=]s firepower, but instead it's '''Andross''', who then taunts you as you continue your mission. His text box is red instead of blue too, just to make his dialogue more menacing.

** The EscapeSequence. Explosions line the tunnels and you have to follow James out for a safe escape. Except he ''will'' boost away from you if you're too slow, and if you take a wrong turn, you'll fly into a cloud of explosions and ''die instantly''.

** After you kill Andross's brain, [[LoadBearingBoss the entire lair starts to collapse]], and Andross, in the most menacing tone, declares "If I go down, I'm TakingYouWithMe!" The screen fades to white, Fox ''screams'', and for several seconds there's...''nothing''. Not even music. Several seconds of complete inactivity, long enough to wonder "oh no, did Fox survive?" Thankfully the silence is broken by James's intervention soon enough.

** Moon Mountain Pass is also really unsettling, with it apparently being a second moon that crashed into Dinosaur Planet, having a bizarre alien-looking landscape, creepy as heck music and enemies, green fire and being where the [=SharpClaw=] Tribe originated from.

* Also in ''64'', whenever Fox is killed, one of his teammates cries out "NO!"... unless all of his wingmates are down, or he dies in the final Venom stage, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68fORFvlA4c where all you hear is Fox's screaming.]] He's truly alone...

* When you blow up Andross' face in ''Star Fox 64'', it turns into one of two things: a robot head (on easy route, see above) or a giant brain (on hard route). Both are terrifying.

* The Warp Zones in ''64'' are pretty damn freaky. They're psychedelic and weird and have all kinds of strange shapes floating through them...and if you crash your ship into any of them enough times, ''you die''.

* Leon Powalski himself

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsWH5z2uICc music]] for the Black Hole in the [[VideoGame/StarFox1 original]].

** This should not in any way suggest that his first form - a giant, disembodied head with hands - is not ''damn'' unsettling in its own right. Because it is.

* The Aparoids. They are able to possess not only machines, but organic life forms as well. It doesn't help that [[FateWorseThanDeath their victims are still aware]] [[AndIMustScream of what they are doing.]] They start out pretty tame: they're brightly colored and have a few funny-looking forms. Then in the later levels we see them assimilating ''everything''. More and more they resemble [[AmbiguousRobot techno-organic hybrids]] that just seem disturbing. Then there's what happens to [[spoiler:Pigma]]... not a well-liked character, but ''holy crap'', that is not a pleasant fate. And what he becomes has the following exchange in a deep, almost demonic voice:

** A HugeHolographicHead floating in space is pretty much routine in ''Star Fox'', but the one in the very first game may rank as the creepiest due to the untextured polygons and basic early 90s geometry combining for an UncannyValley effect. In addition, when taking the hardest path to this fight it will grow horns as a CosmeticAward.

* How can we forget about Vulcain? This... thing has 3... [[BuffySpeak things]] in its face. Are those goatees? Mandibles? Let's not forget it bleeds when you destroy an arm (it's technically lava, but still). Speaking of it's loss of arms, [[Determinator it still goes on without them]], and uses ITS LAVA BLOOD TO ATTACK YOU. And not to mention this monster's death. Its [[YourHeadASplode head pops off ]], with that same lava blood spurt, and then it sinks into the lava. Drowning and decapitation... [[SarcasmMode have fun sleeping tonight]]. Now Falco and Peppy's quotes make a whole lot of sense.

** As noted, he is the most formal Star Wolf member, but the most sadistic too. He likes to torture his victims. In Star Fox Assault, he is the assassin of the team. He is actually the most feared member of the team.
