History NightmareFuel / RenegadePeptuck

* When Kane showed up at the end of chapter five, [[HellYesMoment the fanbase was roaring their approval]], anticipating that the Tiberian Saga's favorite {{Chessmaster}}, DarkMessiah, and all around MagnificentBastard would start playing everyone like a piano. And then, in the very next chapter, after doing ''just that'' to the entire Citadel Council chamber, with Shepard tailing him after he makes a discreet exit. In the ensuing conversation, Kane says three little words that made the fanbase's collective hearts stop beating: "I don't know."

* From Chapter 14, we have Shepard's Tacitus-induced nightmares/visions. A lot of people dying [[CruelAndUnusualDeath horrible deaths]] at the hands of the Scrin, the Reapers, and even [[spoiler: by a Prothean's hand.]] Also? [[spoiler: [[OhCrap The Collectors have begun their assault on humanity early.]]]]

** The Scrin have apparently gone to work on the husks in the same way the Geth did in the original game. Instead of a n electrical blast, they're now armed with energy cannons on their arms, and their hands are ''four foot long blades.''

* [[StarfishAliens The Scrin]]. [[WordOfGod Peptuck has said]] that he wanted to make it clear just how terrifyingly powerful they are compared with everyone else, and [[PuntuatedForEmphasis IT. IS. WORKING.]]

* [[StarfishAliens The Scrin]]. Peptuck is doing everything he can to make them ''absolutely terrifying'', and [[PuntuatedForEmphasis IT. IS. WORKING.]]
** Buzzers. Everything about the Buzzers. They swarm you en masse, break into your armor, and then chop anything organic they find [[LudicrousGibs into soup.]] In ''seconds.'' Shepard herself is completely terrified of these things, and [[ScarsAreForever with good reason]]. Her dream in "Ghosts" takes their nightmarishness to even greater heights, because she gets attacked by a swarm of them and, unlike in real life, ''doesn't die''. [[AndIMustScream She's just lying there, getting sliced to pieces bit by bit by the swarm while the vision progresses]].

* These three words from Kane: "I don't know." If ''Kane'' doesn't know something, then we're in serious trouble.
* The Scrin, as a whole, are absolutely terrifying, especially the [[EliteMook Ravagers.]] [[NighInvulnerable Shepard pumped an entire clip of grenades into]] ''[[NighInvulnerable one,]]'' [[ImplacableMan and it still just kept coming.]] *shudder*
** The really scary thing about the Scrin? They ''have a sense of humor''.
* The Battlemind. Unrelenting, and nearly unstoppable (to the point where an entire belt clip of sonic grenades - the Scrin's Kryptonite - detonating on top of it merely stuns it) and armed with a weapon that lets it tear apart walls and vehicles and infantry squads with casual ease. And on top of that? As noted above, ''it has a sense of humor''.
