**Temperantia is also rather tame, and unlike Fortitudo never really gets all too visually horrifying, but his sheer size and the storms he creates would leave ''anyone'' unlucky enough to get on his bad side shivering with fear.

The entire fight is just horrible from a visual standpoint, and even worse, he's described as being the virtue closest to hell; yes, this thing is ''genuinely a step away from being an actual demon''.
**Sapientia is definitely the least terrifying visually, going more for spectacle, but the sheer size of it is fairly intimidating.
**And worst of all; none of them fear death. Sapientia even ''laughs'' as he's dragged to hell.

* Many of the ways Bayonetta sacrifices angels to her demonic summons are equal parts cool and equal parts horrifying. Many are torn apart or crushed into fleshy bits before being dragged off to Hell. Bayonetta herself seems to greatly enjoy watching them suffer, and considering all the [[KickTheSonOfABitch grief they've caused her it's no surprise.]]
