No dogs die, there are a few dogs in the comics who are in battle scenes but turn out fine. Demoman has one line about a dog implying that something bad might happen to them. Nothing comes of it, though.

In one comic, a dove is violently thrown to the floor and implied to be dead for a moment before coming back to life. A minor character--a monkey--dies offscreen in a rocketship explosion.

The Arachno-Arsonist and Terror-antula cosmetic items both feature spider imagery (the former of which turns a character into a giant spider), but are only available during Halloween or community maps that have Full Moon activated. The Creepy Crawly and Violet Vermin crates also have spiders on them.

The Spy has the ability to turn completely invisible, this allows Spy to get behind the enemy team for a surprise attack. If you play classes that get tunnel vision easily (I.E. Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, and Sniper) you are at constant risk of a Spy getting you, meaning that he could be watching you waiting for the perfect time to strike.

In the Mann Vs Machine mode, getting between the tank and a solid object (e.g the wooden spike barrier in Rottenburg) kills you to prevent you from getting stuck in a wall.

Technically? There are some models that turn your character into a zombie, or disfigure you (a zipper that opens a character's head and reveals their skull, multiple cosmetics that reveal the brain, etc) but nothing is very egregious or frightening; they tend to be more cartoony

The Engineer has a prosthetic arm, though it is usually covered by rubber gloves and can only be seen if you or other players equip the Gunslinger weapon. In the comics, The Soldier's girlfriend Zhanna attempts to dislocate her thumb to escape a pair of handcuffs, and resorts to cutting the whole hand off instead.

No, however the phrase “flame-retardant” is used by the Soldier and Engineer when they get a domination kill against a Pyro— on a surface level this just looks like a reference to the character’s flame resistant suit but there are blatantly ableist domination lines directed at Pyro which makes me think that “flame-retardant” line is wordplay of the R slur.

The Demoman makes various jokes about the wives of the enemy team, some of which are sexual, but it has not been confirmed whether any of the characters are/were married. The Spy is having an affair with The Scout's mother, however, and this is stated multiple times in the game, cinematics and comics.

Some maps have ghosts that can stun the player's character if they get close. Pyro has a cosmetic that allows his head to become transparent, as well as cosmetics for ghostly figures that appear behind the classes.

While The Demoman is not directly possessed, his eye socket is haunted (stated by The Medic in the comics). This leads to various eye-related mishaps during Scream Fortress.
Some lore suggests The Bombinomicon possessed The Demoman's missing eye when he was a child.

In a voiceline for one of the earlier updates, Miss Pauling is recorded giving an assignment to the player as Spy proves he "can teach someone to play the piano in a month using an electric collar." Miss Pauling can be heard yipping as well as electric zaps being heard.

In Meet the Soldier, during a scene where the aforementioned character is running into battle, shakey cam is used for a short period. This is to simulate a character from the comic (The Director) desperately following behind to capture the footage.

The Spy can turn completely invisible which allows him to sneak behind enemy lines and take out people from behind. This allows players to stalk their opponents and wait for the perfect time to strike. In the community there are a group of people who get a specific loadout and will just sit in the corner of maps and watch the game unfold. These people are not dangerous and are just goofing around. There is a trolling method done by some people where they will use the Cloak and Dagger, a type of cloak the Spy can use, and say voice lines to get a reaction from the player who can't see them.

In the comics, there is a mention of non-consensual use of an implanted baboon uterus in the body of an enemy to keep him at bay, it takes place off-screen, is described graphically, and we see the baby baboon after, but they are OK. (The baboon is OK, not the man who gave birth to them. He does not die due to the birth, it is due to injuries.)

I don't know if this counts or not, but one Line from the spy has him say "Here lies scout, he ran fast and died a virgin". I still don't know if this count since Scout isn't Asexual or Aromantic. (I'm new to the term "aphobia")

The Pyro's gender is not known by anyone, and various jokes are made regarding the uncertainty. An example of this is during the English subtitles of Meet the Pyro, where The Scout uses male pronouns but the subtitles use female ones at the same time ("He's not here, is she?")

Being underwater too long will make you choke, dealing 5 damage every second coming out of the water will recover 10 health so at least stay for 2 seconds before coming out to still have all of your health when you start choking.

No nuclear explosions, but the payload maps are based around escorting a giant bomb along tracks and ultimately detonating it.
