[[folder:The Chessverse as a whole]]
* The fact that this universe exists. One fic, which inspired a second fic, which led to a crossover between the fics...which led to the creation of the several fics, all set in the same universe, that we know of.

[[folder:Griffin the Griffin]]
* Griffin, just shortly after arriving in Equestria, ''kills a black dragon.'' And then he rips off one of its scales and ''makes a sword from it.'' Keep in mind he's just arrived and has yet to assemble his army or arsenal.
* Griffin and Gilda casually come up with the idea to form an army and free the slave griffins and ponies from the Diamond Dogs. Less than a year later, they've assembled this army, become famous pirates, saved several lives, and formed a new island colony. All this started from two lowly griffins with no resources aside from their brains and what they found.
* The fight with Ember the Dragon. The second one, specifically, even if it ends badly for Griffin.

[[folder:From Nobody to Knightmare]]
* Just the sheer idea of Knightmare defeating his foes through, basically, dancing.
* Also the fact that he beat Queen Chrysalis, his ruler, when his type of Changeling is supposed to be for nothing other than essentially being a sex toy.

[[folder:To Err is Equine]]
* The Dusk of Ice and Fire. All of it.
** Arrell's BigDamnHeroes moment, by plunging into battle with a gigantic chunk of ice. "I found a lake in the forest. This is what I did with it."
* Arrell's arrival in Equestria begins with him waking up, only to be attacked by a manticore. He fights it off by ''accidentally'' hitting it with a [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim FUS RO DAH!]]
* Everything Arrell does after Asylum is kidnapped. He [[ICanStillFight works through his sickness]], [[FightingYourFriend turns against the others when they try to stop him]], and [[BadassBoast tells the Rancid Windigoes directly that he's going to stop them]].
* "'''[[BadassBoast Lord Frostfiend. Rancid Windigoes. Meet your greatest obstacle.]] The Master Chief of Equestria...Arrell Ragnarok.'''"
