Welcome to Amphibia.
So, anyone think they're going to be able to sleep after that terrifying experience?
—Marcy Wu, "The Sleepover To End All Sleepovers"
Being a show from one of the episode directors of Gravity Falls, which gave its audience nightmares from day one, it is no surprise this show has its share of scary moments too.
As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
General
- Anne and her human friends are stuck in a world where they're in constant danger from predators that eat amphibians. Judging by the way the predators look at Anne, they wouldn't mind eating humans as well. To quote A Bug's Life, "There's snakes and birds and bigger bugs out there!"
- And carnivorous plants, fish, mammals and lizards.
- And it's not just predatory bugs, birds, mammals, fish, reptiles and carnivorous plants she has to worry about; there are also amphibians that eat other amphibians as well.
- As Anne lampshades, scattered piles of bones are a near constant feature throughout the land.
- Harold in the Teen Girl in a Frog World short "Whack-a-Mole." At first he appears to be multiple, tiny star-nosed moles, something that's out-of-place in Amphibia, as stated above, but not scary. However, after Anne whacks several of the moles, Harold reveals himself, and he is not pretty. To wit, he's a giant mole-like creature with multiple tiny mole heads growing off of his body, including one of his nose-petals and where his claws should be.
