* The old Blood Plague Incident, where a glitch caused an area-specific plague to get out into the rest of the world, infecting and pretty much instantly killing lower levels. Some cities were quarantined, some players, reportedly, went into a [[Social Darwinist]] fervor or decided to play bioterrorist and got infected themselves and spread the disease to low levels just [[For the Evulz]]. |

* Stitches <The Gift From the Embalmer> in Duskwood. A level 35 Elite Boss Abomination that walks the road in Duskwood, and if left alone will eventually assault the town of Darkshire. And there's no real warning that he's coming (unless you're the one who just reached the last step of the quest chain that summons him, or were lucky enough to not be questing (and in Darkshire) when his appearance begins). So you could be coming down the road from completing a quest in the Graveyard, pause for a brief moment because you wanted to look at your map, and then... wham, he's right behind you. |

* The notorious Children of Goldshire. The sheer horror is arguably amplified by the fact that - contrary to the other examples mentioned here - Goldshire is supposed to be a friendly and peaceful place, where you certainly don't expect to run into any bone-chilling evil presence. |
|||
** Fortunately, thanks to the ridiculously high amount of cybering that goes in Goldshire, the Children are pretty much ignored. |
|||
*** Fortunately, or is that part of their plan...? |
|||
*** Read ''The Tribulations of a Megalomaniac Warlock'' for a [[Nightmare Retardant]] for those children. The writer proposes a perfectly rational, and rather fun explanation for their behavior =P |
|||
** At certain times of the day in their room, you'll hear a voice clip saying something threatening, usually "You will die." It's in the exact same voice as C'thun. |
|||
** A few Abominations can sort of avoid this, at least as far as personality goes. The ones that are given dialogue can possibly qualify as a weird form of [[Ugly Cute]], mostly since they tend to come off as incredibly childlike and some as borderline innocent. The best example is Gory in the Western Plaguelands, who stays with the Alliance farmers and helps out on the farm and says that that's all he's ever wanted to do. |
|||
* The silithid hives in Tanaris & Un'Goro, which look like insect hives covered in goo & crawling with bugs. |
