Go To

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are turned OFF. You have been warned!


  • Episode 1, where Zeha meets a big hooded guy that in hindsight, is a Beom, who asks our hero if he would like to learn about how his parents died.
    • Later, Zeha goes to the mountain, but then suddenly wakes up in a hospital three days later with no memory of what happened on Inwang Mountain. A detective tells him that everyone on the mountain there except Zeha died.
    • Then the detective shows Zeha an image of dozens of people mauled to death, the first Beom attack in the series. They are NOT. SCREWING. AROUND.
    • Episode 2 Quite terrifyingly reveals what DID happen on Inwang mountain. Zeha met a Beom claiming to be his father's friend. He earned Zeha's trust just before tricking him into opening the Beom gate and killing everyone, as well as kicking off the main conflict.
  • In Episode 3, Zeha tries to hunt Beom with nothing but a gun, but the Beom has a power that influences and screws with his senses. He nearly gets killed, but thankfully, a professional group known as the Tiger Butterfly show up to save him... Only to take the Beom head for themselves and beat him when he protests.
  • Episode 4 is filled with loads of paranoia fuel. Just imagine your loved ones lying to you about staying home and then them all dying to monsters as a result.
  • Episode 5 shows how the Beom Bosses are just as careless to their underlings as the humans. It also displays Bulti's true power beyond belief. He doesn't just stop a bullet, he catches it with his teeth and shatters it with a bite, without even thinking much of it!
  • Episode 8 shows how truly wicked the Butterfly are. They once again decide to take Zeha's Beom heads even though he clearly killed them (this time after Zeha and company saved their lives), then try to kill Zeha this time. Seongjin truly looks like it's getting to him. When Dogeon shows up just in time to save him, they have Zeha at gunpoint and are about to pull the trigger.
  • Episode 10 is another display of Bulti's sadism. He hates all humans, even beyond what noble demons like Hupo insist on doing – he not only wants humans to see them suffer, he fully enjoys causing them pain. We get to see him try to slowly burn a poor kid alive before Hupo intervenes to put the boy out of his misery by decapitating him.
    • In the same episode, Bulti and Maro meet a mysterious hooded man that's strong enough to pin down TWO HIGH-GRADE BEOM. AGAINST THE FLOOR. He's clearly not human, but he's not Beom, so what is he? And what the hell was the deal he offered to make with the two? They accepted it, that we know for sure.
  • Seongjin wants to wipe the CHAKHO off the face of the earth by any means necessary, as seen in Episode 11.
  • When Dogeon is discussing the strange attack pattern of the Beom, a shot of ants eating butterflies can be seen in one panel.
  • The Beom happily attack a school. The teachers are clearly trying to be brave, but they know that they're totally helpless. Zeha clears the lot easily just in the nick of time, thankfully.
  • The reveal in Episode 12 that the Beom are not just killing humans now, but taking them to a prison and using them as livestock.
    • One of the prisoners begs to be spared. Bulti's response?
    Bulti: All I want from you are nothing but you screams and pain.
    • And just after that:
    Bulti: [When talking about the prison] It's the best. I can do whatever I want with the humans! It's been a good few hundreds of years since I enjoyed myself this much!
    • The introduction of a prisoner especially prepared for Zahu. He's endured all sorts of torture and is on the brink of dying, yet still seems to keep on living through sheer will. This guy, as we find out, is Hosu.
  • Cein spending three days inside a Beom's stomach. Also counts as Nausea Fuel, but it's not detailed on too much. He only gets out through luck, by finding the magic Beom brow. And he knows it, as he spends days later having constant pangs anxiety, unable to believe he's still alive.
  • Zahu desperately feeding Hosu with his own blood. The results... are beyond unexpected. Hosu begins screaming in burning pain and his eyes suddenly turn red, then he kills and eats Zahu.
    • What's possibly worse is that despite having no control over his ensuing rampage, Hosu is fully aware of Zahu's act of kindness and the horrible thing Hosu just did.
  • Episode 22 and its twofer of a reveal. The apartment store hide-out was entrusted to the Beom by the mysterious figure we saw in Episode 10, who's none other than Hwanwoong, the chairman of Yisal Group himself. Yes, the guy in charge of the financial rewards to Beom hunters. And he's not human himself either - he might not even be a Beom, as he proves invulnerable to Beom-specialized bullets.
    • We find this out because an unfortunate Commissioner General went back to the Yisal meeting room after forgetting his phone, and witnessed a creature that doesn't resemble human or Beom - a huge white, eyeless beast with sharp teeth, a humanoid torso and alien spikes and wings note  - chomp on a human body. After Hwanwoong appears and reveals himself to the Commissioner, he lets this beast (which he calls his "child") devour the guy on the spot.
    • His speech to the terrifed Commissioner after the latter (who still doesn't know about his true nature) warns him about a monster nearby, as the creature notices the General and slowly approaches him with blood still dripping from its mouth and teeth.
    A monster? That's a bit harsh. They're human, too. Rather, aren't you more of a monster? Not only are you humans insolent, but you're also selfish and hypocritical. [The creature approaches him, and he pets it.] We, however, don't have those digusting emotions in us. I think we're closer to the ideal human qualities you all like to speak of. What are your thoughts on that, commissioner? [The Commissioner tries to shoot him, to no avail.] My child. Time to eat.
    • The apartment store hideout was not just a prison, either. This episode confirms that, as seen in the previous episode, it also serves as what Hwanwoong calls a "hatching room" for these new type of creatures. And he isn't miffed on the slightest about the building collapsing, since he can make another anytime...
  • Episode 23 puts a lot of developments in.
    • First of all, Seongjin sees the CHAKHO escape the hideout, finally loses his temper, and shoots Zeha in the gut out of rage and jealousy, in front of everyone. Thankfully, Zeha heals due to the power of the Beom within him, Seonjin is kicked out and arrested, and the Tiger Butterfly's reputation goes downhill from there.
      • The moment of the shooting. The Chakho were just getting out of the building and finally letting their guard down after the battle, and the Tiger Butterfly was supposed to turn around and go home. When it happens, there's a moment of panic where bystanders scream and everyone tries to see who did it and check on the others, before Zeha slowly realizes the blood dripping on the floor is coming from him and loses consciousness.
    • Zeha confesses about having opened the gate and tells everyone about it. The rest of the CHAKHO seems to be okay with it (or is at least processing it)... except for Hosu, who leaps out from behind the curtain next to Zeha's bed to strangle him.
      • Hosu's eyes while he berates and screams at Zeha, with his face shadowed and his irises gaining a golden glow, makes him reminiscent of a Beom and so unlike the person he's based on.
  • The ending of Episode 28. The creatures Hwanwoong calls his children have now acquired human forms, but we learn this through showing them (some still with no eyes, some with a single eye, all white in hair, skin and clothes and eyes glowing red) eating human remains. One who has just learned to speak and looks like a young teenage girl, innocently offers him a bite of the human arm she's holding with a smile. There are bloodstains all over her clothes and her mouth.
    • The passing reveal from Maro that humans were made to bleed to death in the Yisal apartment store prison under request of Hwanwoong, which presumably helped give birth to these children.
      • On top of that, their realization (if you, the reader, hadn't realized by then) that Hwanwoong is not even really working for them because he also made the hunter app.
  • In episode 29, we finally see Hwanwoong's children in action, and it's not pretty.
    • The first one is an eyeless girl who fights with deadly threads that can cut through Beom like butter, to the astonishment of Ogyeop - that's not the bad part. The bad part is that she's the poster child of Ambiguous Innocence - smiling, blushing and acting excited at it all as she dismembers Beom and notes that Beom can walk seven steps after being decapitated.
    • When Hupo wounds her (meaning he takes a chunk off the side of her face and neck, by the way), she childishly despairs at her supposedly being lied to about the Beom's weakness by Hwanwoong and starts repeating she doesn't want to die... And transforms, her mouth going agape and revealing sharp bloody teeth, letting out a curdling scream that has humans and Beom alike covering their ears.
    • This is followed by Hupo and Ogyeop getting ambushed by a group of Hwanwoong's children, who end up tearing one of Hupo's arms off.
  • Zeha's reaction to meeting Hupo again. From the close-up on his eye when he turns to him, it's like a switch has been turned from the kind guy we've met so far to someone consumed by cold rage.
  • Jigwi can control blood. We see a group of Tiger Butterfly hunters entering the Beom base, only for them to start floating, revealing they're being controlled like puppets. The hunters can only barely cry for help, blood pouring out of their eyes, nose and mouth, before exploding in a splash of blood. Then, the massive puddle in the floor bubbles up, levitates, and stabs several Beom nearby. Only then does Jigwi reveal herself to the Beom, a placid smile on her face. Pyori survives out of sheer luck, hiding among the piles of bodies of Beom left by Jigwi.
  • In a regular office, a worker suddenly hears a "thud". He turns to the sound, and sees the subtle mark of a hand on the wall. However, his boss calls him to get ready for a meeting, so he turns away and leaves it. Then we find out the wall works like a one-way mirror, with a man begging for help to the people in the office from the other side, other hand marks on the glass visible around him. The man despairs as he doesn't understand why no one is responding to him, as one of Hwanwoong's children approaches him from behind. While the people in the office continue talking about meetings and files, the man is dragged away by Hwanwoong's child along rows of giant eggs in the walls, and cries about not wanting to die. As he screams off-screen, we see how one of the semi-transluscent eggs starts filling up with blood through some tubes. Among the completely-red eggs, one of them cracks.
    • The scene then cuts to a meeting room in the Yisal Group building. High-ranking officials happily praise Hwanwoong for his work on the Hunter app, which has vastly reduced human casualties. One official turns to Hwanwoong. The latter's sneer lands squarely in the Slasher Smile category.
