History NightmareFuel / StarcraftIIHeartOfTheSwarm

* Arcturus Mengsk seems to have stepped into full-on nightmare fuel mode. [[spoiler: He bombs civilians, blows up his own prison ship and the men on it... oh ''and he is working with Narud to'' '''''create hybrids!''''']] At least ''Wings Of Liberty'' was ambiguous about the whole thing..
** Much of that may be a direct result of Mengsk's VillainousBreakdown, which was triggered by Raynor's discrediting gambit. He just doesn't bother concealing his villainous nature anymore, and lots of people ended up killed as a result. Clearly, people are afraid of him now.

* Kerrigan [[spoiler:basically making the Protoss live a ''Film/{{Alien}}'' remake using Lassara as the host.]]
* [[spoiler:Infested Stukov]] has glowing eyes and is missing a huge chunk of his face. He doesn't even seem to notice.
* Narud, full stop. [[spoiler:Kerrigan's fight with him involves him hiding in the shadow, gloating about how Amon is back already. When he finally reveals himself, he shapeshifts into Raynor, then into human Sarah to play with her emotions. And when she finally slays him, he keeps gloating, while going from RedEyesTakeWarning to BlackEyesOfEvil, using his EvilSoundsDeep voice while still in Kerrigan's form. [[NothingIsScarier And in the end, we never really see his true form]].]]
** [[spoiler: We do in ''Legacy of the Void''. It's Xel-naga, and its true form is... unsettling.]]

** When Kerrigan brings up the Primal zerg to him, Abathur will be ''so'' [[BerserkButton pissed]] he actually [[NotSoStoic breaks]] his CreepyMonotone.

* Heart of the Swarm gives us a good look at just how grotesque and sinister the Zerg can be. From weaponized parasites the size of a man’s torso, to subterranean tentacles that eat their prey, the Zerg have taken every disquieting feature of [[BodyHorror body horror]], refined it, and honed into something deadly.
