The heroes are chased to a river which they barely cross, the chasing monsters suddenly stop as if they fear water. Then chasing boss arrives, it's a hooded figure on a black horse. It shrieks with high pitched sharp noise, and also has a weird mouth, the hood covers the rest of the face, then with the shout it reveals peculiar dental characteristics.
Also the hero lady is similar to Arwen.
I guess the people need to be fed what they got used to. Familiar tropes gives familiar feelings toward the new product.
This reminds me: in the first episode the figure of the mysterious hooded man who stepped into the inn very much reminded me of Aragorn.
