1''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpYloHajJNs The Northern Incident]]'' is a web animation created by [[Creator/MaxGilardi HotDiggedyDemon]]. A fisherman decides to stay in a shack up in the Yukon Territories for a few days alongside his dog King, but he's not alone...
2----
3!! The Northern Incident contains examples of:
4* BlackComedy: A short about a fisherman and his dog being stalked by a strange monster while being stranded in the woods? Terrifying. [[spoiler:The last-minute reveal that said monster are actually ''furries''? Darkly hilarious]].
5* CanineCompanion: Even with the monsters in the woods, the man has King to rely on. [[spoiler:It's finding him disemboweled that heralds the DownerEnding]].
6* ClosedCircle: Our protagonist could leave and evade his tormentors... if only his truck hadn't been stolen. And if the phone lines hadn't been cut.
7* DeathCryEcho: [[spoiler:After the fisherman is surrounded and grabbed by the furries, he lets out one as the screen [[SmashToBlack cuts to black]].]]
8* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:King is horribly slaughtered, and the fisherman himself is cornered to be presumably yiffed and/or killed.]]
9* EnemyEatsYourLunch: Man sets an uneaten sandwich on the side. He goes out to relieve himself in the woods. He returns to find that ''someone''... or ''something'' had took a bite out of it.
10* EmergingFromTheShadows: This, accompanied by a LightningReveal, is used at the very end to show TheReveal.
11* GuttedLikeAFish: The unfortunate fate of [[spoiler:King]].
12* ItCanThink: Whatever ''they'' are, ''they'' are smart enough to steal trucks and cut telephone wires.
13* LightningReveal: This, alongside the creatures EmergingFromTheShadows, is used at the very end to show TheReveal.
14* MinimalistCast: Just the fisherman, his dog, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick whatever it is that's lurking in the woods]].
15* NothingIsScarier: The shadow monsters are never seen in full until the final moments.
16* OminousKnocking: Repeatedly used - the fisherman hears a knock at the door, and opens it to find... [[NothingIsScarier nothing]].
17* TheReveal: The shadow monsters are [[spoiler:[[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furries.]]]]
18* SnowMeansDeath: The video is set in the Yukon Territories in the midst of heavy snowfall. [[spoiler:It ends with King and the fisherman's horrible demises at the paws of furries.]]
