Line 20:
** The very first line of the entire series: "Wind howled through the night, carrying a scent that would change the world."
** The description of Eragon {{spoiler|post his transformation at the Agaeti Bloedhren}} as "more beautiful than a man, more rugged than an elf" is somewhat overdone.
** The High Priest of Helgrind, who has no arms or legs, reminded some readers of the Black Knight from ''[[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]''. Durza, [[Big Bad|Galbatorix's]] [[The Dragon|dragon]] in Book I, is described as having pale white skin and red hair. Like [https://web.archive.org/web/20140519034843/http://www.raw-living-food-success.com/images/Ronald-McDonald.jpg a certain fast food mascot.]
** The [[Film of the Book]] gives us Galbatorix's infamous line:
{{quote|'''Galbatorix''': I suffer without my stone. Do not. Prolong. My suffering.}}
* <nowiki>[[Moral Event Horizon]]</nowiki>: Galbatorix decapitating Vrael, who was willing to forgive him for what he had done.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Everything about [[Abandoned Area|Vroengard]]. The place is implied to be ''radioactive''. Burrow grubs, those disgusting carnivorous maggots which Galbatorix uses to torture Nasuada, originated there. It's also populated by giant man-eating snails that move as fast as a running human.
** Vroengard basically ''is'' radioactive, seeing as it was annihilated by a [[Fantastic Nuke]] (you can replace any mention of 'magic' when the contamination is mentioned with 'radition' very easily). What's worse is that those man-eating snails were on Vroengard ''before'' said [[Fantastic Nuke]]. ''They survived the equivalent of a nuclear explosion and the resulting fallout''.
