* ''Fanfic/BreatheInBreatheOut:'' [[spoiler: The Vine Nomu, aka High-End Zero.]] While the fic follows the'' My Hero Academia'' canon as closely as possible, considering the number of divergences on it, the trope namer is introduced on [[WhamEpisode Chapter 31.]] [[spoiler: Izuku, Momo, Yui, Miruko and Ryukyu head to raid a possible human trafficking operation. There they find the High-End Zero, and this becomes one of the closest calls for the students since the USJ. It takes Nejire, the current wielder of One for All here, to kill the thing before it can finish off the heroes and students. WordOfGod commented that if a a High-End was able to almost to kill Endeavor in canon, there is no way two heroes and couple of students would stand a chance against it, even if it was a FlawedPrototype.]]

* Even though ''[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/11249784/ Phineas and Ferb Visit Jurassic World!]]'' is a LighterAndSofter take on the film, the ''Indominus rex'' is still played quite seriously. Things immediately turn dark the moment she shows up, and everyone in the cast labels her as TheDreaded upon encountering her. Even Perry the Platypus finds her terrifying.

* ''Fanfic/CindersAndAshesTheChroniclesOfKamenRiderDante'' has Magane as one. While she is one in [[Anime/ReCreators her anime]], this fanfic has her take her role and runs with it. Her cameo signals the shift to a darker and more serious tone, with the following scenes featuring her as a major threat, to the point where her first encounter with Hoshi brings with it [[spoiler:his brief FaceHeelTurn]]. While an honorable mention goes to Vega for bringing the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Kaizo-Majin]] into the world and Malacoda [[spoiler:for almost killing Hoshi's sister]], Magane is the one who, directly or indirectly, is responsible for the more reprehensible Kaizo-Majin that managed to score more kills than the Kaizo-Majin that Vega makes.

* Despite its cynical tone, ''Fanfic/MiraculousThePhoenixRises'' prides itself on its BlackComedy throughout the main characters' goofy hijinks. However, when any mention is made of the [[HateSink motherfucker who framed Morgan for stalking]], all of that vanishes.

** The group of mercenaries who [[spoiler:have staged the Indominus’ ambush on Brunet’s platoon and murdered Gareth Turner, Mei Tian and Patience Bellamy,]] darkens the story’s atmosphere even more. When the grey guards discovers that [[spoiler:this group of mercenaries is actually InGen’s black ops team, things escalate and a war break out on the island between InGen and the Grey Guard.]]

** All that above pales in comparison to the dark, inescapable horror that is [[UndeadAbomination Darth Nihilus]]. Whereas even Cinder had her humorous moments, ''nothing'' about Nihilus is ever PlayedForLaughs. He's an insidious OmnicidalManiac whose [[TheCorrupter corruptive influence on Jaune]] is one-hundred percent PlayedForDrama as it drives a wedge between Jaune and his friends while pushing him ever closer to a FaceHeelTurn. Nihilus' inclusion in the plot is directly responsible for the fic being DarkerAndEdgier than its source material, with chapters featuring Nihilus as a POV character being the darkest in the entire story. [[spoiler:Once he [[DemonicPossession possesses Jaune's body]] and takes an active role as the BigBad, the story dives headfirst into the CerebusSyndrome with CharactersDroppingLikeFlies as over a dozen heroes and villains alike are KilledOfForReal by Nihilus' rampage.]]

** While not without drama, the story starts out fairly lighthearted and is about a [[Franchise/StarWars Force-sensitive]] teenage boy learning to master his powers as he settles in at his new school. That all changes with the introduction of the terentatek--a homicidal alien beast mutated by the Dark Side and hellbent on tearing Jaune apart limb from limb. For Teams JNPR and RWBY, the terentatek is the first serious threat they've encountered that outclasses them in almost every way and who Jaune's Force powers ''don't work on''. The battle between the heroes and the terentatek is noticeably BloodierAndGorier than any fight preceding it with limbs being broken, a teenager getting disemboweled, and the main protagonist almost dying in a pool of his own blood. If it wasn't for a last-minute GunshipRescue, the entire main cast would've died then and there. In addition, the terentatek's debut marks the start of Jaune's ProtagonistJourneyToVillain as he [[SlowlySlippingIntoEvil slowly becomes corrupted by the Dark Side]] in later chapters.

** While not without drama, the story is initially lighthearted and is about a teenage boy learning to control his new powers at his combat school. That all changes once the terentatek comes along. It's a nigh-unstoppable alien monster mutated by the Dark Side and makes all the protagonists' previous struggles seem trivial by comparison. For the heroes, the terentatek is the first serious threat they've faced that outclasses them in almost every way. In fact, the creature comes the closest out of any villain to actually ''killing'' Jaune. The battle against the terentatek is noticeably BloodierAndGorier than any of the fic's previous fights with Pyrrha nearly being impaled, Yang's arm getting broken, and Jaune having his intestines ripped out and nearly dying from blood loss. If it wasn't for a [[DeusExMachina last-minute]] GunshipRescue, the entire main cast would be dead. In addition, the terentatek's debut marks the start of Jaune's ProtagonistJourneyToVillain as he starts drawing power from the Dark Side and becomes more [[TookALevelInJerkass temperamental and abrasive]] in the chapters that follow.

For Teams JNPR and RWBY, the terentatek is the first villain they've faced that outclasses them in almost every way. In fact, the creature comes the closest out of any villain to actually ''killing'' Jaune. The battle with the terentatek is noticeably BloodierAndGorier than any fight scene preceding it and includes the first instance of {{Gorn}} in a story that had previously been tame with its violence.

** While not without drama, the story is fairly lighthearted at first and focuses on Jaune slowly getting used to being Force-sensitive as he trains to be a hero at his new school. That all changes once the terentatek comes along. It's a nigh-unstoppable monster mutated by the Dark Side and far more dangerous than any [[TheUsualAdversaries Grimm]]. It's the first serious threat that the protagonists face and comes the closest out of any villain to actually ''killing'' Jaune. The scene where the creature attacks includes the first instance of {{Gorn}} in a story that had previously been tame with its violence.
