Nightmare Fuel / Creature of Havoc

Go To

  • If the Creature decides to ask Quimmel Bone to heal him from a headache, the skeleton will make him go to sleep... and he will have a nightmare where bony hands attack his chest with knives... turns out it was barely a nightmare: Quimmel Bone actually cut open his body and extracted his heart, which is his last vision before he dies! Possibly one of the most chilling moments of the book.
  • Basically ANY of the death scenes in this book can be considered nightmare fuel. To list a few, you can be devoured by a sentient slime monster, killed by a living shadow, drowned in toxic water, get skewered by a spike trap, have your organs harvested, be chopped up and served for dinner, fall into an endless void, be trapped inside a room until you starve to death, and as mentioned above, have your heart removed by a living skeleton. And in true Fighting Fantasy style, the book doesn't shy away from describing these gruesome deaths in very intimate detail.
