Episode 1 (Dingle Dangle)
- Parker sees what they think is their fellow Agents being turned into victims of Dingle Dangle, heads unraveling into ribbons as they're suspended in midair. However, once Parker actually enters the room to suppress Dingle Dangle, it's revealed that it was all a hallucination the Abnormality induced in them; Dingle Dangle had already set into Parker by that point, its ribbon-like roots burrowing so deeply into them that Catt has to cheerfully perform a Mercy Kill.
Episode 2- 3 (My Sweet Home)
- Due to the stress of their work, Narae falls into the trap of My Sweet Home and gives in to its request to open its door, which leads to the Agent being absorbed into the Home. The result is very disturbing, with their body being so improbably twisted within the home that their limbs protrude from the openings at angles nauseating to consider the human body being forced into. Even one of their eyes have displaced so that it's staring out the peephole.
- If that isn't enough, the human component is capable of stretching their neck out from the window hole in a manner akin to a turtle's, as well as unhinging their jaw like a reptile.
Episode 4- 5 (White Lake)
- When White Lake uses its gift to take control of Kookie, their mouth becomes deformed. Their lips nearly fusing together, with only small gaps in their face creating the impression of an unsettling grin. At one point, the sword they'll come to wield forces its way out of their throat and through one of the gaps.
Episode 6 (Variations)
- The Penitent Girl Abnormality mentioned in this episode has the ability to possess employees and force them to cut off their own feet while causing them to bleed from their eyes and mouth. At one point, the corpse of one of her victims is shown to be sporting an unsettling grin, complete with wide open eyes.
Episode 7 (Red Queen)
- The Red Queen is a terrifying Abnormality if only because of how unpredictable she is. It's difficult to tell what kind of work she'll accept, and if even one mistake is made in work with her, she'll immediately behead the offender without so much as a single sign of warning.
Episode 10- 15 (The Road Home, Scaredy Cat)
- The nameless Agent who accidentally performed Instinct Work on The Road Home ended up having a firsthand experience with her yellow brick road. Waves of yellow bricks are hurled at them, crushing the Agent underneath the sheer weight and number until they're left a bloody, broken, and buried mess of a corpse.
- The Road Home's sole attack after breaching is to drop a house in a random location anywhere in the facility, and with no way to know where it could possibly land. As shown by the Info Department members seen, all you can really do is run to duck and cover wherever you can, and hope that you're not unlucky enough to be wherever it's set to land.
- Scaredy Cat is an unstoppable juggernaut of an Abnormality. Once turned into its monstrous form, absolutely nothing can stop its rampage. So long as even one of its companions still stands, it will withstand any wound right up to being split in half, and then just keep on going like nothing has happened. In other words, no matter how many times it's cut down, it'll just keep reviving and continue ripping and tearing through everyone it can reach, and it won't stop until all its "friends" have been defeated.
Episode 16- 21 (Hookah Caterpillar)
- Manual gives a brief view of footage from the day of Hookah Caterpillar's first breach. This footage shows the employees pounding on the door, begging for the Manager to save them as they slowly succumb to the Caterpillar's smoke. This is all accompanied by Manual clearly smirking in the dark, completely uncaring of the employees' gruesome fates.
- The Hookah Caterpillar's second breach shows exactly why it's such a terrifying foe to face. The moment it's free, it begins spewing out clouds of teal smoke that causes Pale Damage and spreads nearly everywhere in the facility. There are few places to hide where it can't reach, and even high level E.G.O. meant specifically to mitigate its damage have a limited shelf life before they too lose their effectiveness as protection. And the effects of the smoke itself are downright gruesome, with those exposed to it coughing up and leaking black sludge from every open orifice on their face, and having their veins darken to a blackish purple with enough exposure; Not even protective gas masks are capable of blocking it out completely.
Episode 22 (Bottle of Tears)
- Catt describes the event of two of their senior losing their marbles at once. It started with one of them snapping and slamming their own face into the floor repeatedly until they start bleeding, then when another Agent runs to try and subdue them, they also lose it. Afterwards, the two proceeded to run around the halls for hours until they were finally able to be stopped. And after all was said and done, neither could remember a thing, and they were sent right back to work.
- Catt's tipping point for their own breakdown was seeing their most admired senior lose it. They started beating their fellow agents with reckless abandon, sporting a Slasher Smile while pummeling peoples faces into mush with their bare hands. The only way anyone could safely stop them at that point was shooting them in the head.
Episode 23- 29 (The Servant of Wrath)
- Purin gives a firsthand description of what being directly assaulted by White Damage is like. After getting shot in the head with it, Purin collapses to the ground screaming for their mother while crying with a face full of agony. Them sharing what the experience was like is no better, as they describe the experience as being like their mind melting from being overwhelmed by voices and hallucinations.
- Employees caught up in the Servant of Wrath's rampage face the full brunt of her acid. Faces and flesh are melted to bone on contact, then the deceased's heads are ripped from their necks as their bodies are transformed into giant wooden dolls.
Episode 30- 34 (Titania, Nobody Is)
- Just when it looks like a time for the protagonists to settle in for the night, a panicking clerk tries to break their door down with an ax in a manner that brings to mind a psycho-killer movie.
- The real horror occurs when it's shown why the clerk was so desperate to get in, when some of Titania's fairies cause flowers to sprout from their eyes and chest, killing them in an instant.
- During their initial attempt to find out more info and escape, the group runs into another Agent they met during training, who reveals that when the fairies first breached, panicking people rushed out into the main containment area and started releasing the Abnormalities - an entire site breach has begun.
- Said Agent then promptly freaks out upon seeing the empty shell of Nobody Is and runs off in a blind panic, only to run into Titania who grants them "mercy" by transforming them into a flower. The sad part? That particular Agent could have easily slipped by Nobody Is's dormant form like Catt, Rose, and Taii did. In other words, their panic was for nothing.
- This arc introduces the concept of "E.G.O. Corrosion", a process in which an agent trying to wear E.G.O. that's too powerful for their level will be forcefully assimilated by their own outfit. And according to Catt, wearing it for long enough will turn the person into something not quite human and not quite Abnormality. Seems there's a reason there are limits on what E.G.O. a person is allowed to wear.
- Al's last stand might have bought the main trio the chance to escape, but Al is absorbed into Nobody Is, which adopts Al's appearance in its quest for an identity. Likely an awful, painful way to go, given how Nothing There(the Abnormality that Nobody Is is an Aberration of) SKINS its victims and wears them.
- As is lampshaded by Rose and Taii, the problem of Titania and Nobody Is is never properly dealt with. There are likely numerous Agents and Clerks still trapped in the depths of the caved-in facility, and the titular ALEPH-class Abnormalities were never properly suppressed despite being buried, meaning that there's always a chance they could dig their way out and wreak havoc on the surface. And this situation is never seen resolved on-panel, so there's no telling what sort of long-term consequences there could be for the site burial matter.
Episode 40- 42 (Piscine Mermaid)
- After the Piscine Mermaid breaches, Catt absolutely brutalizes it in the suppression process. By the time backup has arrived, all that's left is a barely-intact carcass; Heart ripped out, empty eye sockets after Catt scooped them out, and the body a mashed up mess of flesh and scales. Meanwhile, Catt stands in the midst of the carnage, doused with blood and gripping the disembodied heart in their hand.
Episode 43- 46 (Staining Rose)
- The Staining Rose is a downright terrifying Abnormality, simply for what its management entails. The Staining Rose requires exactly one Agent who meets the conditions required to manage it, and if those conditions aren't met, it will kill every last person in the facility by spreading a disease that makes people cough up rose petals until they die. Oh, and the employee set to work on the rose is essentially a sacrificial lamb who is 100% certain to die at the end. No wonder all the Department Heads were so terrified of it.
- While rushing to leave the meeting room, Taii trips and accidentally releases an infantile entitynote from an unopened containment crate. It's not a pretty sight, resembling a veiny, wart-covered fetus with exposed teeth, and covered in a green fluid that is likely Enkaphalin; Flower and Taii are both understandably freaked out by it.
- Taii and the others barely make it to the Staining Rose's containment unit in time, just before Rose meets their end. They're just serenely smiling, looking towards the others with blood pouring from their face as the Staining Rose comes into full bloom. And we don't even see how it killed them in the end.
Episode 48- 53 (A Party Everlasting)
- After the White Nights and Dark Days event ends, Taii makes their way back to their branch in total blackness all alone. They describe the Backstreets smelling of blood, the pain and agony having resumed after the Seed of Light went out, accompanied by a background visual resembling bloody viscerae. To top it all off, Taii claims it took them three days of walking to reach their workplace under those conditions.
- Adding to the above, Taii taking that long to reach O-5681 also means that those working at said branch, and who happened to be underground at the time, were also trapped for those three days. Not only enduring complete and total darkness and collapsing infrastructure, but also being surrounded by gradually breaching Abnormalities, as well as eventually facing the monster that is A Party Everlasting.
