Nightmare Fuel / Les Légendaires

Despite the major humor in the series, Les Légendaires include a large amount of Nightmare Fuel.

• The entire concept of the Jovenia incident as a whole gets more and more horrifying the longer you think about it. The fact that the entire population of the world is reduced to a child form invites a lot of Troubling Unchildlike Behavior of course, but there's also the fact that Not Growing Up Sucks and while everyone's is The Ageless and cannot die of old age, they are also prebubescent and cannot have children. Simply put, the Jovenia effect is just a very drawn out apocalypse.
• Gryf's hallucination of Elysio having an especially scary Slasher Smile (coupled with Red Eyes, Take Warning) before leaving him fall from a cliff. bonus point due to it being some kind of nightmare.
• Halan's soldiers' fate in Book 5; when the Legendaries and Halan arrive in the camp, all they can find are empty clothes. They are then attacked by Chaos Shades. They fight them, destroy them... and then Danael reveals Chaos Shades actually are humans transformed through Darkhellion stingers, implying those they just killed were the soldiers.
• Gryf's expression when in Chakounia state can be quite frightening.
• Anathos' No-Holds-Barred Beatdown of the Legendaries in Book 10: he reincarnates in Danael, stabs Jadina, scars Gryf all over his body, pierce Shimy's eyes with a Flaming Sword and cut off Razzia's arm. In a series that until then mostly relied on Bloodless Carnage, this scene is incredibly violent and graphic.
  • And then it goes From Bad to Worse when he defeats and murders Darkhell and Elysio, kills the Guardian, turns the whole Island into the Castlewar and uses it to NukeTheDog by killing a whole city with one shot.
• The victims of Anathos' plague in Book 11. Large amount of Body Horror involved.
• Similarly, Dark-Jadina's hinted Mind Rape of Tenebris. All we get to see from it is Dark-Jadina licking her lips while wondering how though Tenebris' spirit is. Later, when Jadina arrives, she is shown a broken and heavily injured Tenebris. God knows what they did to her.
• Anathos' execution of Dark-Jadina: after failing, she goes to him begging him to forgive her. Anathos states he forgives her, and the two seems to share a moment... then Anathos cold-blooded bow her head off.
• Kasino's death in Book 13: when first shown, it's from the Legendaries' point of view, who see Jadina impaling him on her bare hand and sucking his blood on her thumb. It's later revealed it was actually Tenebris doing it and their vision of Jadina was because of Abyss' illusion.
• The discovery of Jadina's dead body in the final panel of Book 13.
• Jadina, being sentenced to death, gets a visit from her father who, believing her to be an impostor, wishes her to rot in hell before leaving. This causes her to have a huge Heroic BSoD and screaming of dispair. Cut to Vangelis apparently hearing the scream and pointing out how beautiful of a day it is.
• Abyss' Villainous Breakdown is quite disturbing on many level, especially the way he suddenly turns out to be a cruel homicidal sociopath when he was so nice at the beginning. His attitude with Tenebris and his apparent death only makes it worst.
  • Also, consider the fact that, according to Tenebris, he killed Vangelis before taking over his body. Abyss wasn't just doing a Dead Person Impersonation; He was going around using someone's corpse as a disguise.
• Book 15 open with Skroa and new villain Sheyba attacking and savagely mauling a whole monastary to get their hands on their idol's heart. Her Dragon Razorcat savagely slaughters the monks on her order, and is then seen eating them.
• Amy's reaction to seeing Skroa again after all those years; That is all.
• Danael's theory about Anathos being able to spy on them through Shimy counts as full-on Paranoia Fuel.
• The Chiridans routinely abduct innocent people and place souls inside them, and getting a new body is basically envisioned the same as putting on a new outfit. Yes, the Chiridans treat living, breathing people like clothing to show off. But it gets worse when Shimy informs us that not only are the people still present in their bodies despite being possesed, they are conscious the entire time but are unable to do or say anything.
