- The armadillo, Roadkill, at the beginning. He's flattened in half, and yet he lives!
- Rango's nightmare. The desert yucca with a face of nightmares, cacti transforming into rattlesnake tails as Rango runs through the desert, coming across a gigantic Mr. Timms swimming in the air, who looks at Rango and says, "Where are your friends now, amigo?" A storm comes out of nowhere and starts flooding the entire area as Rango struggles to swim. He wakes up from the nightmare as the pipe he was sleeping in is flooded with wastewater and washes him out.
- Rattlesnake Jake. If there is any creature that benefits the film's realistic visuals, it's this feared outlaw. He's massive compared to every other townsfolk, his glowing eyes are demonic, and the voice of Bill Nighy is enough to chill even the bravest souls. That's not going into the fact he has a Gatling gun for a rattle tail, oversized fangs laced with venom, and powerful coils that squeeze you to death.
- Then there's fact that Rattlesnake Jake has the reputation of The Grim Reaper who drags unfortunate souls to Hell, which he claims to be his residence. While the film does show how tall tales and myths can arise from lies or misunderstandings as showcased by Rango's stories, one cannot help but wonder if Jake is exaggerating or telling the truth.Ms. Beans: Go to hell!
Jake: Where do you think I come from? Look into my eyes. I wanna see you die. - Even if he's technically on the heroes' side, due to Tortoise John betraying him, Rattlesnake Jake's exit from the film is bone-chilling.Jake: [eerily calm] What was that you said? [starts shaking his gun-rattle] Pretty soon, no-one will believe you even existed. [hisses, coils Tortoise John up, and drags him screaming out of town]
