* Butch Cavendish in general. The guy is just freaking terrifying. Tonto has good reason to think he's a Wendigo demon.
** The FreezeFrameBonus of Butch [[spoiler:eating Dan Reid's heart being reflected in John's eye]].
* Tonto himself, since the filmmakers apparently thought that Creator/JohnnyDepp should look like [[EnemyMime the world's most primitive street mime]]. [[UncannyValleyMakeup Worse yet, his makeup is so thickly caked that it never comes off during the 19th-century portion of the story. Not even after Tonto's been underwater.]]
* One of John's visions ends with a flickering shot of Butch, face covered in blood, just after [[spoiler:eating Dan's heart]]. For a very, ''very'' brief second, he's replaced by John ''in the same position with the same blood on his face, [[SlasherSmile grinning]] in the exact same way''. And it's never explained!
** It could be something to do with John's SurvivorGuilt over not being able to save his brother/causing his brother's death, or a warning that John's thirst for vengeance threatens to make him just as bad as Butch if he's not careful.
* The [[MonstrousCannibalism canniba]][[AscendedToCarnivorism listic]] [[HairRaisingHare rabbits]].
** And [[{{Wendigo}} all that's implied]] with that, since Butch is said to have "the power to throw nature out of balance."
