History NightmareFuel / DragonHunters

This fantasy franchise is one of the rare examples where dragons are absolutely not [[{{Disneyfication}} romanticized by the plot]] and cause serious and obvious harm to people and animals ([[TruerToTheText with some exceptions]]), sometimes in a nightmarish way, and most of them [[OurDragonsAreDifferent look nothing like traditional winged firebreathing reptiles]] and comes across as more like disturbing mutants . You can also see the dark sides of human nature here, which worsen in extreme situations. Also [[KarmicDeath not all of the characters who reveal their souls to the audience]] [[JustDesserts survive after their finest hour]]. The show tries to talk about it in a calm tone, but without coddling a young audience, following the example of the adventure movies of the 80s from different countries, which also inspired the creators of the show.

* The behavior of the Dogtalites at the climax of the episode ''Isle of Mist'', [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters revealing their true nature]], leads to eerie reflections.

* The [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath consequences of how Ulrich the Toothless kills the unfortunate dragon with his bare hands]] in ''Farewell, Lian-Chu'' can be briefly described as {{Gorn}}, which is extremely atypical for an animated series designed for a family audience. The reaction of the villagers to the handiwork of their "savior" can be described as slightly disappointed and this suggests that such a thing on the streets is just an annoying routine.

* The Shadow dragon in ''Dragon in the Hearth''. Not helped by the fact that the heroes, at one point, stumble in a room which is highly implied to contain the frozen remains of his last victims.

** In light of this, Gwizdo's boasting in the movie about ''They took about a whole weekto clear the village'' from his practice no longer sounds like an exaggeration.

* In "For a Few Veggies More", Gwizdo tries to kill Chief Big Beard, who is putting his plan in jeopardy by going along with his and Lian-Chu's mission to hunt themselves (They're disguised as their own bounty hunters). The extreme closeup and the look of murderous rage in Gwizdo's eyes shows that ''he means business''. Fortunately, Lian-Chu stops him short of pushing him off the ''St. George'', and Gwizdo grudgingly keeps steering.

* The World Gobbler in the movie itself, a giant and terrifying skeleton dragon that wakes up and destroys anything in its path in every 20 seasons and its size is almost as bigger than Franchise/{{Godzilla}}!
** its first appearance is at the beginning of the film when it Destroys Lian-chu's Village only his Glowing yellow eyes appear in the smoke (As provided as the Page Image).
*** The Music doesn't help either.
* The [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath horrible death of the oldest prince Granion de Bismuth]] in Lord Arnold's castle almost at the beginning of the movie. Poor knight turns into the ashes inside his armor, while walking to the dinner table ands stays conscious even up to his noisy vanishing!

** The skinny bounty hunter's death in the dragon's jaws at the end of the same episode (that guy was an experienced and dexterous killer, but still couldn't save himself from a slug-like predator). Gwizdo doesn't look surprised by the remains of the badly ripped clothing between the sharp dragon teeth, which may mean that the little guy has already witnessed several violent deaths in his hunter practice, and this is why he constantly hides his worries behind his signature dark humor (and both official comics books that tell about the earlier career misadventures of heroes expressively confirm this fact!).
