7HorrifyingTheHorror in FanWorks.
8----
9[[AC:{{Crossover}}s]]
10* ''Fanfic/AllForLuz'': One side-effect of Luz's Quirk-stealing ability is that she ''also'' gains black, shadowy vestiges shaped like the original holders, that include echoes of their personalities. These are incomplete so long as the person Luz stole the Quirk from is still alive. Both she and Shigaraki are unnerved by their existence.
11* ''Fanfic/AmazingFantasy'' (''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' & ''ComicBook/SpiderMan''): Natalie Essex reminisces about when her "brother" Nathaniel's experiments horrified Josef Mengele, all while she's busy humming and vivisecting people.
12* ''Fanfic/TheChaoticMasters'': Constantine has dealt with all sorts of horrifying monstrosities, and Circe has been imprisoned in Tartarus, both of them being TheDreaded to others in the magical community… and both are still thoroughly creeped out by [[WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie Lumalee's]] cheerful nihilism.
13* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'':
14** After their encounter in Paris, it's revealed that [[OmnicidalManiac Gravemoss]] is left ''terrified'' of [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Harry Dresden]] (or, as the LemonyNarrator puts it, joined the "scared-of-Harry-Dresden" club).
15** The Phoenix has this effect on pretty much everything evil and horrifying -- even the proverbially indestructible Darkhold seems to shiver in genuine fear when it senses a mere ''flicker'' of Phoenix fire. Of course, this fear isn't just limited to the bad guys, and for very good reason.
16** Magneto scares more or less everyone witless, including the aforementioned Harry Dresden -- who tries to hide behind Wanda when Magneto looks like he's weighing him up. Since Wanda's 5'6' at best, and Dresden is ''nearly seven feet tall'', he fails miserably. Since his first on-screen appearance in chapter 77 is heralded by a geomagnetic storm, Northern Lights style auroras, before he crumples [[spoiler: HYDRA's]] vibranium hulled helicarrier like a tin can, his first major appearance in the sequel has him crippling [[spoiler: the Winter Guard]] in less than two minutes and taking out [[PersonOfMassDestruction the Red Son]] [[spoiler: a.k.a. a BrainwashedAndCrazy Harry]] with one figurative hand behind his back, combined with a reputation as a mostly reformed ex mutant supremacist terrorist, you can kind of see why.
17** Harry Potter himself has shades of this, although unusually for this trope, it's less about what he is ''now'' and more about what he will become. While he starts out as little more than a moderately talented [[IndyPloy quick thinking]] 13-year-old SquishyWizard, a mixture of training and rapid development of his powers [[HadToBeSharp (partly thanks to his circumstances)]] make him first a GlassCannon, then, by Book II, a fully fledged PersonOfMassDestruction. And the fact is that once he grows into his full powers, he'll be a FlyingBrick, a monstrously powerful [[PsychicPowers psychic]] and a wizard trained by people like Albus Dumbledore, Loki, and [[spoiler:Doctor Strange]] to boot. And that's not even counting his skills in stealth and espionage, thanks to Bucky, Natasha, and [[spoiler:the Red Room]]. Oh, and he's the firstborn son of the Crown Prince of Asgard, meaning that he's got a potentially huge amount of political power and influence to bring to bear (if he ever wanted to use it). This is a large part of why quite a few villains are after him in Books 1 and 2: They want to kill him before he can ''really'' become a threat.
18** Nathaniel Essex horrified the Nazis, even creeping out those at freaking Auschwitz.
19* [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Alucard]] admits in ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/152954/3/daughter-of-darkness/family-night Daughter of Darkness]]'' that [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]] freaks him out... and turns him on.
20* In ''[[https://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-31245/DWduck+The+Doctor+s+Faith+Healing.htm The Doctor's Faith Healing]]'', when the Doctor realises he's in a club full of vampires, he gets up on stage at the Bronze to deliver the following;
21-->"Is everyone having a good time?" ''(Vampires cheer)'' "Glad to hear it... Because I want to let you know that while I'm in town, this will probably be the last time any of you vampire half-breeds have any fun at all. I'm guessing that most of you have never heard of me, but I suggest that you go find something really old and really evil. When you do, ask it one simple question. Ask it 'When you have nightmares, what do you dream about?' I guarantee everyone of them will tell you the same thing...ME!"
22* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5571816/22/Win-Some-Lose-Some Dog of War]]'', the Kyuubi is completely horrified by the actions of Angron, Primarch of the World Eaters. So much so that while explaining what's to Naruto that his body is being changed into something more like Angron's, he warns Naruto that he will kill them both should he head down that man's path. Kyuubi later shows Angron's memories to Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Shizune so they can both help Naruto keep from being like him and to prepare for the worst should he do so anyway.
23* ''Fanfic/TheDragonAndTheButterflyWhiteout'': While Dagur tends to act more of a wise-guy to Drago than anyone else, even he knows when to shut-up around him.
24* In ''[[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-19569-7/Chilord+Echoes+of+the+Fallen.htm Echoes of the Fallen]]'', Xander uses [[ComicBook/{{Magneto}} Magneto's]] memories to intimidate (or more accurately terrify) Angelus. Later, when Angel returns from Hell, he flees the moment he sees Xander.
25* ''Fanfic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'' (''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' & ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}''): Calisto is one of the co-wardens of [[TheAlcatraz Cavigor]], a Shapeshifter with an incredibly powerful [[PantheraAwesome tiger]] form which makes him one of the most dangerous fighters in the story. Yet when he realizes that Drago has escaped from his prison cell, he's left terrified.
26* In ''Fanfic/HarryAndTheShipgirls'', the Dementors of Harry Potter canon literally got scared shitless by [[PublicDomainArtifact Muramasa-no-Kagotsuruhe, the Sword of Hopelessness]], who is arguably even scarier than they are.
27* [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Xander]] and his "tenants" in ''[[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-21632-71/dogbertcarroll+Flickering+lights.htm Hotel California]]'' leave the Goa'uld possessing him so terrified that it begs [[Franchise/StargateVerse SG1]] to get it out of Xander.
28* ''Fanfic/IfWishesWerePonies'' (''Literature/HarryPotter'' & ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''): Accidentally happens -- the Cutie Mark Crusaders, after only spending less than a WEEK at Hogwarts [[spoiler:Scootaloo accidentally informs Professor Binns that he's been dead all this time and allowing him to go on his [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence Last Great Adventure]] because of it. After Professor [=McGonagall=] puts up a rule into effect to prevent further accidental exorcisms of Ghosts from the School, Twilight sends them a book about Ghosts; and they use it [[BackFromTheDead to bring Moaning Myrtle back to life]].]] Peeves the Poltergeist rightfully avoids the CMC afterwards, completely terrified of what they might do to '''''HIM'''''!
29* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomverse'':
30** ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail''
31*** [[Characters/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrailChloeCerise Chloe Cerise]] is a well-known NightmareFetishist into demons and gory fates. But seeing a glimpse of Henry and Walter's abomination forms makes her terrified.
32*** Likewise, [[Characters/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrailGraceMonroe Grace Monroe]], leader of the Apex, is shown to not be afraid of anything...until she also sees Henry and Walter's abomination forms. Walter's is so grotesque that the narration describes it as Grace running for her life.
33** ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainKnightOfTheOrangeLily'': Alex Shepherd is not seen as this in the slightest...until he becomes the juggernaut known as Pyramid Head. To state how horrifying Pyramid Head is, you know how in ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS'', Specter is known to be a sadistic monster with a NightmareFace so terrifying that it's currently the image of the VRAINS ''Nightmare Fuel'' page? When Pyramid Head learns that Specter kicked his denizen partner out of a window, the monster decides it's time to give him a taste of his own medicine. [[NothingIsScarier We're never really shown]] what it is, but apparently it's so horrible that when Paul London gets thrown into his torture cell by Pyramid Head hours later, Specter has been redued to a mumbling NervousWreck ''afraid of his own reflection''.
34* Xander in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1866354/11/Jedi-Harris Jedi Harris]]'' leaves a wraith (which feeds on negative emotions) in utter terror by not feeling any negative emotions at all. It's actually destroyed by him confronting it without feeling fear.
35* In ''Fanfic/JusticeSocietyOfJapan'', [[ComicBook/DoomPatrol Mister Nobody]] completely freaks out when he tries to possess [[spoiler:Shirley]].
36* ''Fanfic/AKnightsTaleAsInquisitor'' (''Franchise/DragonAge'' & ''Franchise/FateSeries''): While in Arturia's mind in order to perform an GrandTheftMe on her, [[spoiler: the Envy Demon ends up causing her dragon side to come to the forefront. This encounter is so overwhelming and traumatizing to Envy that it wants to ''vomit'']].
37* ''Fanfic/ALoudAmongDemons'' (''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' & ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse''): Lincoln Loud manages to scare the crap out of Asmodeus (the demon king of lust and ruler of the lust ring) by forcing his way into the demon's mind and subjecting him of a horrific hallucination of Fizzarolli being burned to ashes and what is implied to be Lincoln's true demonic form. The experience left Asmodeus so traumatized that he instinctively trembled out of fear when Lincoln walks by, sensing the same presence that dragged him into the nightmarescape.
38* Ben in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13339453/17/Miraculous-Hero-Time Miraculous: Hero Time]]'' manages to horrify Zombizou, Hawkmoth, Marinette, and even ''Tikki'' by showing them Ghostfreak's true form.
39* ''Fanfic/TheMLPLoops:'' Pinkie Pie, starting from very early on when she sends [[Franchise/MassEffect Sovereign]] running on sight. Mainly because she's a Warp Goddess who got that job by ''eating'' Slaanesh. Conversely, if something manages to scare Pinkie Pie, that's '''Bad'''. Such as the Smooze, where Pinkie's only response is to run.
40-->'''Narration:''' Some monsters could be laughed at. The Smooze just laughed back.
41* ''Fanfic/{{Outcry}}'': Leviathan was freaked the hell out by the monster [[spoiler:Taylor]] became and tried to flee. Keyword being ''tried''.
42** Nashandra was poking Taylor's soul fragment and threatening to crush it right up until Nadalia made it clear she would ''end'' her if she didn't cut it out right then and there.
43* ''Fanfic/StarshipsDontGoIndoors'' Has a [[MechanicalAbomination Reaper]] meet the [[OmnicidalManiac Bydo]].
44-->'''Reaper:''' '''ABOMINATION.'''
45* In ''Fanfic/TakamachiNanohaOf2814'', Tsukuyomi breaking into Arkham to spend Christmas with her father [[spoiler:the Joker]] so horrifies the rest of the inmates (apart from Harley, who had no previous experience with her) that they fall to their knees and start praying... to Batman.
46* ''Fanfic/TaylorVarga'' (''Anime/LunaVarga'' & ''Literature/{{Worm}}''): the [[EldritchAbomination Endbringers]] are so scared of [[StoryBreakerPower Taylor Hebert]] that the thought of her being even a stone's throw away is enough to make them just nope out of whatever they're doing and go hide on the exact opposite side of the planet.
47* In ''Fanfic/TwentyYearsLate'', when a [[VideoGame/XCOMEnemyWithin Sectoid]] attempts to mind-probe a [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 Combine Elite]]-turned-[=MEC=], it starts ''screaming''. And it doesn't stop screaming in horror until its field commander pulls it aside and kills the mutilated cyborg it was trying to probe with a plasma cannon.
48* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8933408/18/Wizard-Runemaster Wizard Runemaster]]'' (''Literature/HarryPotter'' & ''Videogame/WorldOfWarcraft''): Harry Potter became a boogeyman for the Burning Legion after he not only survived their attempted assassinations but also constantly ran suicide missions against them and succeeding, including infiltrating their bases and butchering everyone there.
49
50[[AC:''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'']]
51* ''Fanfic/AMothToAFlame''
52** Despite being the one pressuring her to do so in the first place, King Andrias admits that he found [[TheDragon Marcy's]] erratic MotiveRant hard to watch.
53** After Marcy is out of her coma, King Andrias is cautious around the girl's [[SanitySlippage shaky and unhinged demeanor]].
54
55[[AC:''Franchise/{{Buffyverse}}'']]
56* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6446195/1/It-s-a-stretch It's a Stretch]]'', Xander's plan for taking out the guards at a concentration camp (since they can't change the past), namely blowing the whole place sky high, causes Angelus to quickly reassure Xander that he's an opportunity killer and not a racist.
57
58[[AC:''Manga/DeathNote'']]
59* In ''FanFic/ACharmedLife'' the Shinigami Sidoh is utterly terrified by Ryuk's "pet human".
60* In ''WebVideo/DeathNoteTheAbridgedSeriesKpts4tv'' Light literally scares the crap out of {{Shinigami}}.
61-->'''Light:''' ''[with [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] GlowingEyesOfDoom]'' [[{{Yandere}} I loved you, L]], and you smashed my heart into a million pieces. [[UnrequitedLoveLastsForever I will never love again]].\
62'''Ryuk:''' Light, uh... you're scaring me.\
63'''Light:''' Oh, Ryuk, I haven't even ''begun'' to scare you yet! ''[EvilLaugh]''
64* In the [[AlternateUniverseFic AU]] ''Fanfic/TheFacelessDisguiseOfCarnivorism'' this happens thanks to [[ForTheEvulz Ryuk's boredom.]] Ryuk takes to telling horror stories that give the little {{Shinigami}} nightmares. [[spoiler:Stories of a legendary human hero and Godslayer named [[NamedLikeMyName "Light Yagami". It was just the name of some random human Ryuk once saw but never got around to killing]]. So now just the name "Light Yagami" strikes fear among the Shinigami and so when a real human shows up with that name, ''they surrender en masse''.]]
65
66[[AC:''Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon'']]
67* In ''Fanfic/HopeForTheHeartless'', the [[WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron Horned King]] is a ruthless warlord lich and a WalkingWasteland whom [[TheDreaded about everyone fears instinctively]]. However, after he's released from [[SoulJar the Black Cauldron]] for his only chance to earn his freedom, he remains haunted by the torment he endured in the Cauldron at the hands of [[EvilerThanThou his former master Arawn]], the Death Lord of Annuvin.
68
69[[AC:''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'']]
70* ''Webcomic/WhatIfIKnowTooManyReasonsICanBeStrong'': Tanjiro terrifies every demon he encounters, including even [[MonsterProgenitor Muzan]] and the Twelve Kizuki. More often than not, it is mostly PlayedForLaughs.
71
72[[AC:''Franchise/DragonAge'']]
73* ''Fanfic/WalkingInCircles'': When Solas has been taken into the Ostwick Circle and has to go through Harrowing, within the Fade, a rage demon looks at him, he looks back and the demon just backs away without a single word.
74

76* ''Fanfic/RemnantInferisDOOM'' (''VideoGame/Doom2016'' & ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''): The creatures of [[{{WebAnimation/RWBY}} Grimm]], as per canon, are animalistic abominations drawn to negative emotion like fear and rage. They outright show hesitance at the thought of facing the Doom Slayer, which stuns Winter Schnee, who thought such was impossible. Much later, Salem takes a peek into the Slayer's mind in an attempt to manipulate him, and is ''terrified beyond words'' at what she sees.
77
78[[AC:''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'']]
79* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'':
80** Remember the Skullcrawlers from ''Film/KongSkullIsland''? Vicious, bloodthirsty, HorrorHunger-mad beasties that'll take Kong in a fight without hesitation? Well, what's lurking around the abandoned Monarch outpost following the {{Artificial Zombie}}s' creation and [[spoiler:the disappearance of Ghidorah's severed head]] is so terrible, even Skullcrawlers flee in terror when it's near them; in Chapter 11.
81** As much of a BloodKnight with a fiery streak to his personality as Rodan is, he's given pause and almost unnerved when he sees from the sideline just how ferocious Monster X can get when enraged, in Chapter 13.
82
83[[AC:''Franchise/HarryPotter'']]
84* In ''Fanfic/TheAwakeningOfAMagus'', the Lightning Patronus some Magi can cast is TheDreaded for the Dementors and their leader... not only can it destroy them, but it deprives the collective of all the souls the destroyed Dementor had ever consumed.
85* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14034033/1/ For Love of Experimental Time Travel]]'': At one point, Neville idly wonders if he's the Boy-Who-Lived simply because Voldemort was too intimidated of going after Harry. Of course, by this point Harry as outright enslaved Voldemort's soul, so Neville's not so much wrong as simply not right.
86* In ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality'', Harry says "boo" and dementors flee in terror. This is because [[spoiler:he's discovered the true form of the Patronus spell, which ''destroys'' dementors instead of just driving them away.]]

97
98[[AC:''Anime/KillLaKill'']]
99* From ''Fanfic/MaimDeMaim'', ''what'' a twelve-year-old Nui did give even Ragyou -- her mother, the one that created her -- pause. To elaborated on what she did, [[spoiler:she ''skinned'' another girl alive]]. What she did also [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horrified herself]].
100
101[[AC:''Franchise/MarvelComics'']]
102* ''[[Fanfic/UltimateSleepwalker Ultimate Sleepwalker: The New Dreams]]'' features Psyko, an EvilCounterpart to Sleepwalker who terrifies even the other sadists and psychopaths who make up New York's supervillain population. This is because many of them have fallen victim to his mass {{Mind Rape}}s at one time or another and were forced to relive their worst nightmares over and over again while Psyko uses their bodies as PeoplePuppets.
103
104[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'']]
105* ''Fanfic/{{BURN THE WITCH|MiraculousLadybug}}'': While Plagg is the Kwami of Destruction, he's terrified by the murderous expression Adrien adopts upon [[InternalReveal learning just how much harm]] Lila was doing.

She overthrew her version of Celestia and doesn't bat an eye at anything... but is utterly creeped out and scared of Twilight Twilight, a sparkly vampire Twilight who thinks an underage filly is her soulmate.
114* ''Fanfic/CulturalArtifacts'' has the Big Guy. He grew up with World War II, he helped develop the Avro Arrow, he became more or less the equivalent of ''the'' badass -- and when his mind was under assault by Tirek, Discord, Nightmare, and a half a dozen others, he showed them things that had ''Discord'' begging Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the Mane Six to open fire and get him back to normal. Nightmare tried to invade his mind again. It didn't go well for her. [[spoiler: At least, [[HeelFaceTurn at first]].]]

126
127[[AC:''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'']]
128* In ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'', [[EvilPoacher Hunter J]] [[PsychoForHire is as ruthless and effective as a mercenary as she is in the Pokémon anime]], [[TheDreaded to the point she's feared even in the criminal underworld]]. However, when she's contacted by the Bloodline King's Emissary with a job, she makes it clear that she doesn't want anything to do with the man, and only accepts partly out of fear and partly because she needs the money. By the time she's done with it, [[INeedAFreakingDrink all she wants is to cope with some alcohol to forget the whole ordeal]].

135* In ''Fanfic/TheRavensPlan'' Robert Baratheon is a terror and a brutal man, but interrogating a Lancel Lannister plucked straight out of [[ChurchMilitant his time in the Faith Militant]] disturbed him so badly that he lost all drive to interrogate anyone else for some time.
