* A.B.A is a [[OurHomunculiAreDifferent homunculus]] who looks like she just barely checked out of a hospital after a major accident. She has CreepyShadowedUndereyes and is ''covered'' in bloody bandages, The "key" she wields is actually a cursed battle axe named Flament Nagel which she renamed Paracelsus, an EvilWeapon that brianwashes its wielders into becoming bloodthirsty berserkers that are forced to fight for eternity until they drop dead. Whenever Paracelsus is bathed in blood, it changes its shape into an outright demonic form, and A.B.A's demeanor suddenly changes, becoming violently unhinged and aggressive. Their Instant Kill even takes a page out of ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' and summons a doorway similar to the Gate of Truth that sucks the opponent into it, which Paracelsus then cuts cleanly in half.

*** Special mention to their Bonding and Dissolving move. A.B.A seems to [[CruelAndUnusualTorture ''inject'' most of Paracelsus' liquefied form into her opponent like a malformed syringe]], before harshly ripping him back out.

** Their return in ''-STRIVE-'' manages to really ramp up the creepy and pushes the boundaries of the UncannyValley. Something has happened to A.B.A's hair which has resulted in it as well as certain elements on her body and outfit changing color to a shade of teal. Given that she's a homunculus and that this is a real life phenomenon called copper oxidization, it's entirely possible that she's ''made'' of copper to an extent. By far the most terrifying parts of the pair's upgrade to three dimensions are their animations, especially Paracelsus's. All of their moves now border on DerangedAnimation, with Paracelsus constantly changing shape and A.B.A's facial expressions becoming more and more disturbing with each frame. Once A.B.A enters her Jealous Rage, she gets WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises and a SlasherSmile for the ages, while Paracelsus is suddenly covered in black ichor with a very unnerving expression making it look like he's sick and is about to vomit. Not to mention, the shape of the bladed portion, originally shaped like a key, has suddenly degraded into something unrecognizable, like it's been melted.

* In the ''Lightning the Argent'' novel, several villagers are violently killed with several parts of their bodies missing. Ky goes and investigates and meets a crippled girl named Marina. Due to circumstances, Marina accidentally drank the "miracle drug," Vitae, that Ky brought and it cured her disability. But when Solaria, a Commander Gear, sings, Marina's legs ''explode into anaconda-ish Gears that begin to eat her.'' Luckily, Ky is able to hack off the Gears (or her legs!) and carries the girl to Faust. However, others who drank the drug, which comprises the rest of the village, aren't so lucky as they are ''eaten alive by their own mutated body parts'', just like what happened to the earlier villagers.

* Testament's 1st ending in ''GGXX'' where Dizzy DIES. '''They murder Johnny, who did his best to protect Dizzy (since he considered her part of his crew) right in front of May''', and it's implied that they'll massacre the whole Jellyfish crew next before proceeding to commit genocide on the human race.

* The [[GreatOffscreenWar Crusades]] that took place prior to the events of ''The Missing Link''. Imagine a 100 year war against the worst {{Eldritch Abomination}}s you can ever imagine, with sizes ranging from that of a cow to that of ''[[{{Kaiju}} Rhode Island]]'' They don't have mercy, they don't get tired, they don't feel fear and they are specially designed by your fellow humans to kill you with fire, claws, teeth or poison. One of them could also be your loved one, just converted into a Human-type Gear and having lost all ability to reason. And before the Crusades, nations were already warring with each other using these monsters as weapons.
