* ''[[Warrior Cats]]'', despite generally being listed in the children's section of most bookstores, [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not for Kids?|is not really meant for kids]], as stated by [[Word of God]] from [[Erin Hunter]]. This really comes through in the (multiple) sections of the books featuring [[High -Pressure Blood]], most notably Tigerstar {{spoiler|getting ripped open and writhing in agony as he bleeds to death ''[[Cruel and Unusual Death|nine times in a row]]''}}, {{spoiler|Brightheart and Swiftpaw}} being brutally mauled by a pack of dogs, Sharptooth slaughtering and eating Tribe cats, Firestar's nine lives ceremony, and every battle involving Lionblaze. [[Nightmare Fuel]] just doesn't always cover it.
* The Bonehill. ''The. Freaking. Bonehill.'' Does anyone blame Firestar for freezing in terror when he sees the thing? Not to mention the scene that follows...
** Also note that The Bonehill in Firestar's dream apparantly had some cat bones in it. Now think about that for a second, where did they get them? They couldn't have raided the graves of long-dead cats because they don't mark where they bury other cats, and if they were buried underground, they would have turned brown, and the book described them as "sun-bleached". I can only think of one answer: ''[[Fridge Logic|cannibalism]]''.
*** Bodies left above ground will be eaten by other animals, like ants and various birds. It's not much more pleasant, of course.
* ''[[Nightmare Dreams|"Before there is peace, blood will spill blood and the lake will run red..."]]'' Out of all the [[Nightmare Dreams]] in the series, this one is probably the most bloody and traumatizing, and ''it keeps repeating itself''.
* The nightmares Tigerstar sends Lionblaze of {{spoiler|himself slaughtering Heathertail}} over, and over again during ''Power of Three''. One features a river running with her blood, and in another he {{spoiler|slices open her throat and [[High -Pressure Blood|blood comes pouring out until he is completely drenched in it]]}}. In another one, it sounds almost like he ''tore her open''.
* Rock. Just... Rock. He's a hideous bald cat with bulging blind eyes and curled up, untrimmed claws. Not to mention the fact that he oversees a test which involves navigating through a complex underground maze in complete darkness. Oh yeah, and if it rains, the tunnels flood and you drown. Good luck.
** Recently, he has revealled that he is doomed to live forever, [[And I Must Scream|aware of every bad thing that will happen, but completely powerless to change things]].
