* The way the Avimetrus dies onscreen in “Young at Heart” is gruesome, continually sucking its own youth and then turn from young and healthy into old and decrepit over and over before it explodes, covering Jake and Hailey in its guts. Doubles as dodging the radar for graphic death.

* It's subtle and easy to miss, but in "Act 4, Scene 15", Spud is on his laptop, helping Jake find the Huntsclan's tomb. He then tells Jake he found something on an urban myth website; a photographer went into a cave on the outer edge of Central Park, and was never seen again. [[NeverFoundTheBody All that was found]] was his camera… with ''a photo of the Huntsclan insignia'' on it. It's strongly implied that the Huntsclan [[KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade murdered this poor man who was unlucky enough to stumble upon their tomb, just to keep it hidden]].

* Rose’s state during “The Love Cruise” after Jake shot her with Cupids’ arrow. She knows all of Jakes secrets at this point and is capable of exploiting them, if she’d decided to lay low and avoid detection, she could’ve done more damage to his family and the magical community, than only slaying him.

** The Kelpie’s ''[[HellIsThatNoise shriek]]''. It’s like the roar of a wild animal and the scream of a young child overlapping one another...

** The Krylock Demon from the same episode is bad enough all on its own, but its venom truly takes the cake. If it’s injected directly into a body, the result is almost instantaneous death, and that is the pleasant effect. When consumed, the venom instead mutates the victim and turns them into human-Krylock hybrids which become so savage that they will attack anyone, including relatives, with stinger tail, scorpion claws, xenomorph tongues or acid-spit.

* The Huntsclan’s activities are a veritable factory of this and loads of ParanoiaFuel. Their murderous tendencies and genocidal aspirations aside, their other activities are downright creepy. They have eavestropped on peoples’ phone calls since at least the 80’s, have people stationed in hospitals to acquire new members from amongst the newborn children whom they yank of their parent's arms and have bases spread across the globe, filled to the brim with weapons. It's deeply disconcerting to think of how much they knew about regular people, how much hurt they caused and could potentially cause on a global scale.
** The Huntsclan Academy. Simply arriving to the school says it all: Students are forced through a training scenario which not only includes the danger of being torn apart by animals, flamethrowers and a DrillSergeantNasty that uses a whip and verbal smackdowns to drive the students through the obstacle course, all while the new students are to recite the purpose of the Huntsclan: Destroy all magical creatures. The academy has a large arena for watching any misbehaving students fight a Kraken, most likely to the death. And then there is the students themselves, an army of [[TykeBomb tykebombs]] whom consider casual socializing to a be discussion on how best to remove dragonblood from clothes, while more serious stuff like infighting amongst the students can break out over anything from who to take to the prom to rumors (with the teachers as collateral damage). The chances of multiple deaths of students suddenly seem mind-blowingly high.

** Not to mention this is one of the few villains who was able to not only defeat Jake, but his grandfather as well by turning them to stone! If his friends hadn't been able to defeat the gorgons, the heros of this show would be stone statues.

* As deserved as it was, the destruction of the Huntsclan, where all members are hoisted into the air, kicking and screaming, by their glowing [[BirthmarkOfDestiny Birthmarks of Destiny]] and zapped out of existence. It could almost be considered merciful that The Huntsman himself was unconscious when meeting the same fate.

* The Kelpie. It’s the [=#2=] Threat to the Magical Community for a ''reason''. Once it bites its target, it slowly drains their essence, absorbing their powers, and leaves only a lifeless husk as it [[KillAndReplace kills and replaces]] them to get close to even ''more'' victims. So, basically, it's a SerialKiller. Who's targeting the teenage protagonist. And it almost gets Lao Shi.
** And to add a bit of FridgeHorror; the Kelpie had been on the loose for a ''year'' before Jake even knew about it. Who knows how many victims it feasted on during that time…

* According to WordOfGod, the creators planned to have TechnicalPacifist Dragon and CoolTeacher Sun Park fight on top of a volcano with [[TheCutie Rose]] in the episode ''Homecoming'', [[SparedByAdaptation which would have resulted in Sun's death at Rose's hands,]] however the scene was cut for being too dark. Considering how dark the series could already get, [[NothingIsScarier one could only shutter at how dark the death scene of one of the series' most kindest characters might have been for the creators to deem it excessive.]]
