** De-Omisating the park, where the Draags release poison gas pellets all over the area to eradicate a wild human population to keep their numbers manageable. The humans are shown choking and dying on the gas in their dens. The Draags carrying out the task stalk slowly through the park with an almost robotic coldness.

* The opening sequence, with a terrified human mother carrying her baby and running for her life, as a large blue hand keeps blocking her path, pushing her, picking her up and putting her back down in a different place, and putting rocks and other obstacles in her way. Ultimately the woman dies; whether from injuries or fright is unclear. It’s only then that the viewer learns the identify of her tormenter: three Draag children that were simply amusing themselves by playing with the woman, in the same way a human child might play with an insect or a mouse. Not to mention how indifferent the children are to the woman's death, all one of them can do is remark it's a shame they can't play with her anymore.

* While escaping from the Draags' extermination of the park, Ter's tribe flees to a sidewalk where two Draags look down and remark about how, while domestic Oms are nice, feral Oms are disgusting pests. And they promptly decide to stomp them out like ants. The Oms, however, use their grappling hooks to pull one of them down and [[DeathByAThousandCuts stab him to death while he struggles.]] The Draag's friend is so aghast by this that he ends up running away - presumably to report what he just saw.
* After a Draag is murdered by Ter's tribe in a coordinated attack, the leaders of Ygam are understandably scared shitless. Not only do they report the death of one of their own, but the discovery of Om dens where stolen supplies were organized by their contents - ''[[ItCanThink without being opened.]]'' Instead of showing empathy for a race that has been proven to read their language and organize complex strategies, the Draags double down on their extermination efforts with new technologies, a moratorium on domestic Om breeding and increased de-omisation frequency.
** These technologies come in the form of drones. Namely those with death rays, those that are little more than sticky spheres that roll up and crush their victims, and vacuums that suck Oms onto ''razor sharp spikes.''
* The Oms' rockets land on the Fantastic Planet, discovering giant headless statues that waltz when Draag meditation spheres plant themselves on their necks. The Oms vaporize them out of panic and quickly learn that all of Draag civilization is ''powered by these things.'' The [[MindRape mental shock]] from their destruction leaves countless Draags wandering their cities in excruciating pain as even their technology relies on these statues to function. Eventually, the Draags have no choice but to admit they were in the wrong and build a second moon reserved just for Oms: ''Terra.''

** Meanwhile "domesticated" humans in gas masks that show only their sad eyes are being led around on leashes looking for their wild counterparts, adding yet another flavor of tragic horror to the whole affair. The horror of being forced to take part in the genocide of one's own race is palpable in their eyes.
