Rowan of Rin
- The spirits/illusions in the swamp. So lifelike that even the most hardy and sensible person can be fooled by them, causing them to run into sucking mud and be killed.
- A lot of the things the group run into would terrify anyone, even if they weren't phobic. The first obstacle the group encounters is a forest full of enormous spiders that they have to run through. Then there's swimming through an icy-cold underground lake with no light, and spending at least a day and a night crawling through a tiny, cramped tunnel with no light and no way to know where you're going or which way is up.
Rowan and the Travellers
- The Unrin trees.
- What nearly happens to Rin.
Rowan and the Keeper of the Crystal
Rowan and the Zebak
Rowan of the Bukshah
- Neel's death. Being eaten alive by Ice Creepers is not the best way to go.
