Considering that the games take place in dream worlds, it should come as no surprise that they are loaded with this. Don't let the beautiful soundtracks, Scenery Porn, and Animesque protagonist fool you.

Examples with their own pages:


Empire of Dreams

  • The Final Boss. Holy crap, the final boss:
    • Klonoa and Huepow enter the castle to find Emperor Jillius, who gives them quite a Nightmare Face as he yells at them about how unfair his plight - specifically, his being unable to dream - is. A freaky-looking eyeball comes right the hell out of nowhere and attaches itself to his face. Klonoa proceeds to fight Jillius and the eyeball. The fight itself isn't so bad, but that cutscene before it was downright unnerving!
    • After destroying the eyeball, Jillius comes back to his senses, and despite being in immense pain, tells Klonoa that he wanted him to come back to the castle. Klonoa is confused, but then a dark figure approaches from behind - it's Bagoo, who reveals his plan to take over the world, and declares himself the King of Despair before giving this very chilling line:
    Bagoo:: I will turn all dreamers into monsters! And you're next!
    • While this is happening, Bagoo's shadow - complete with an Evil Laugh - rises up from the ground, towering over everyone and glaring at Klonoa - or maybe even the player - with Glowing Eyes of Doom!
    • Then there's the final battle itself. Bagoo transforms into an enormous, ghostly dragon/bird monster so detailed that it falls right into the Uncanny Valley! And after Klonoa defeats it, it turns into a horrifying dark cloud with tentacles and a Nightmare Face before finally fading away. Yikes.
