History YMMV / MinesOfDragonMountain

* NightmareFuel: The captured Grundel [[spoiler: commits suicide by biting off his own tongue, swallowing it, [[CrossingTheLineTwice and then breaks his own jaw shut so his interrogators cannot stop him from choking to death.]] Wow.]] And of course it's described step-by-step in [[SarcasmMode such wonderful detail.]]

** [[spoiler: Granodiorite's]] death at the hands of [[spoiler: Tirac]] definitely counts, this troper would rather not describe in detail what that poor Grundel goes through, it may also be considered a tearjerker moment.

* UglyCute: Worker Grundels. They are constantly described as massive green skinned trolls with long teeth, scary claws and terrible body odor (but only when upset). They are also incredibly polite, kind and just downright innocent. They seem to be [[UpToEleven nicer than ponies!]]

* CompleteMonster: Tirac from the G1 special "Rescue at Midnight Castle" is likewise reimagined as an ancient demon who [[EmotionEater feeds on negative emotions]] such as hate and despair. He started a war on Equestria half a million years ago in order to feed on those emotions on a global scale, a war that wiped out several species, leveled ''continents'', and killed most of Equestria's gods, before he was [[SealedEvilInACan sealed away]]. In the present, he [[spoiler: [[TheCorrupter corrupts]] and [[DemonicPossession possesses]] Gabbro, turning him into a KnightTemplar]], before attempting to fully escape his prison by [[spoiler: wiping out a city and feeding on the pain of the deaths of thousands (if not more)]]. And that's not even counting the murders, tortures, and other sick stuff he does [[ForTheEvulz purely for the sheer joy of it]]. Also, giving him bonus points for both shows; first, it's revealed that he's also [[spoiler: [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E8TheImpossiblePlanet The]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E9TheSatanPit Beast]]]], and then the epilogue reveals that he's [[spoiler: ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E1TheReturnOfHarmonyPart1 Discord's]]'' [[TheManBehindTheMan master]]]].

* CompleteMonster: Shock and Thunder. They are selfish, brutal and have absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. In any other Verse they would only look like petty and generic thugs, but in Equestria they are seen as reprehensible because they are ''ponies''. However, [[spoiler: even Rainbow Dash felt sorry for them after they were horribly murdered by the Grundels]].
** How can you mention Shock and Thunder and forget [[spoiler: Tirac]]?
*** Considering that ''[[spoiler:Discord]]'' is his second in command, '''[[FridgeHorror what does that tell you]]'''?

* FauxAffablyEvil: When he's not [[{{Angrish}} roaring]] [[MoodSwinger with inexpressible rage]] [[spoiler: Tirac]] certainly seems to be a jolly individual; [[EvilLaugh giggling manically]], ChewingTheScenery, [[LargeHam capering about like a vaudeville villain]], [[BreadEggsMilkSquick plotting to torture the entire universe to death, forcing someone to peel off their own face, butchering dozens of innocent Unwitting Pawns, etc...]]
