** Good GOD, [[spoiler:the Crawler]]. Massacred [[spoiler:damn near all of Aurora]], drove [[spoiler:Logan]] insane after killing his army, [[MindRape assaults and almost destroys]] [[spoiler:Walter]] and then tries doing the same to you, succeeding to a lesser degree. It will then kill most of Albion unless you can fund the army needed to drive it off, and even if you do it [[spoiler:possesses Walter]], forcing you to kill him in order to give it the KarmicDeath it deserves.
*** The YMMV part comes in, of course, as to whether or not you think that CompleteMonster can apply to [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]] or not.
** Reaver isn't getting much better on this front either.

CompleteMonster: The Crawler is pure death and destruction. If you don't need more convincing, when you first encounter it with Walter, [[spoiler: it [[MindRape assaults and almost destroys]] [[spoiler:Walter]] mind rapes Walter]] and then tries doing the same to you, succeeding you]]. After it forces [[spoiler: Walter to relive a lesser degree. It will then kill most traumatising time in a cave]] it is revealed that it [[spoiler: massacred the residents of Aurora and taunted the survivors]]. Then after it attacks Albion unless you can fund the army needed to drive [[spoiler: it off, and even will massacre 6.5 million if you do it [[spoiler:possesses Walter]], haven't donated enough gold]] and [[spoiler: and then possesses Walter, forcing you to kill him in order to give it the KarmicDeath it deserves.

** Reaver isn't getting much better on
creatures would operate with BlueAndOrangeMorality and be exempt from this front either.as a result. However, the Crawler takes glee in this (or at least its perception of morality is not properly explored) and qualifies.

** Somewhat justified by the fact that it's implied that [[spoiler:the Crawler cannot harm people directly beyond corrupting them with darkness -- it takes over Walter's body and sends its "children" after you because it ''can't'' do anything else personally. And it's also implied that it took centuries for the Crawler to amass the force necessary to assault Albion]].

* GoodBadBugs: In ''III'', when the Hero has sex, it doesn't stop other [=NPCs=] from playing their standard interaction dialogue if they wander in the room. Having your child demand a toy or your wife coo "Oooooh, nice doggie!" during sex is absolutely hilarious.
** Your son screeching "I want to come, too!" shortly after your wife's first moan during the blackout can be... somewhat disturbing.
** Subverted with a bug that occurs when you place your family at the castle before the invasion. In each throne room appearance, the crowd is pulled from various NPC models across the castle (including your wife), and these models are "killed" after each scene to remove them from that room. Following this bug, at a random interval, a text message displays saying, "[[WhamLine After the untimely sudden death of your wife, your child was placed in the Bowerstone orphanage]]." Note this message goes by incredibly fast, during a black background saving screen. Unless you quit without saving immediately, the specific character builds of your wife and child are effectively erased from the game FOREVER.
