2* The amount and speed that Thundera is destroyed by the Lizards' military power. Lion-O lampshades this, saying his dream has become his nightmare.
3* Mumm-Ra's, well, everything. Special mention to his pointed teeth.
4* Mumm-Ra's [[spoiler: torture and imprisonment of Jaga.]] Not something you'd want to experience judging by his reactions.
5* Panthro [[spoiler:[[HandicappedBadass losing his arms]] [[RevengeBeforeReason to push Grune into the Astral plane]]]] can be a little disturbing if you're not prepared for it. Then again, [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Panthro plays it off very well.]]
6* Kaynar and Addicus. Thinking back to Jackalman and Monkian (respectively) in the 80's version, they were bumbling fools and not the least bit threatening. On the other hand Kaynar and Addicus are physically imposing and competent fighters, but as if that was not enough, Kaynar is a [[AxCrazy giggling, sadistic, psychotic serial killer]], and Addicus is not only a killer himself, he also [[ImAHumanitarian enjoys preying on other sentients]].
7** Addicus's introduction should get special mention. He's seen hanging by a rope from a cliff as a tribe of birds have sentenced him for death, for unknown (though pretty easily guessed) reasons. He is offered a [[PrisonersLastMeal last meal]], but when he says, essentially, that he wants to ''eat'' the birds, it's skipped, the rope is cut, and he's sent plummeting to his doom...until Slithe's flying ship hovers up to the cliff, Addicus standing unrestrained on board. Addicus says "I believe I am owed a last meal..."...at which point we get a far shot of the bird village and are treated to the sound of many birds [[GoryDiscretionShot screaming in agony]].
8* Lion-O's surprisingly graphic [[spoiler: death by drowning in "The Trials Of Lion-O."]]
9* The Tiger Clan [[spoiler:being killed and cursed with undeath by the Ancient Spirits of Evil. Lion-O and Tygra spent most of the episode in a literal ghost town.]]
10* The [[WildTake faces]] that the man with the "nervous disposition" makes in "Recipe for Disaster" if only because [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment they come out of nowhere.]]
11* In "Soul Sever", [[spoiler:Tygra gets his soul torn out]] and the result is a soul devouring robotic horror. Foreshadowed by Tygra who comments that the scenario was "...The stuff of nightmares."
