There are many kinds of dragon-like monsters, but they are all a) not technically dragons and b) strictly non-sapient. There's one quite funny quest where you're contracted to kill a 'dragon', it turns out to be basically an overgrown lizard, and if you correct the townspeople they don't give you your reward.

In the main game there are bug monsters which resemble crabs more than anything. The expansion pack Hearts of Stone however heavily features arachnomorphs. These are some of the most unpleasant giant spiders I have ever encountered in a video game, and if you are an arachnophobe I would give this expansion pack a miss.

There is a character who was tortured and is an enemy during a Cat School Scavenger Hunt quest (Spoilers: The character is Kiyan/Mad Kiyan). This character is also potentially possessed although this is never confirmed. Also the process is which Witchers are created can be compared to torture (specifically the trial of the grasses). There are also other instances.

In one quest, multiple bodies are found who have been tortured. Their eyes were removed and coals were placed in the sockets while they were still alive. In another quest, a character removes his own eye. You do not see either of these things happen, but you see some damage to the eyes. There may also be other examples.

While not really possession, there is a scene where a character is temporarily brought back from the dead using magic and forced to give information to the protagonists. It is quite disturbing but fortunately not shown for too long. Also, in the quest ‘Possession’ Udalryk is possessed by a Hym.

SPOILERS AHEAD
- Around the beggining of the game Geralt fights some people in an inn. At the end of the scene, you can see a man tu* from behind. You can hear the sounds but no v* is shown.
- Drunk NPCs tend to v*, especially during the night and in cities. They make r* sounds and sometimes the v* is shown, but it doesn't look realistic.
- Monsters called rotfiends make g* noises before they die. I think drowners make similar noises too.
- Uma v*s on Yennefer during the Trial of The Grasses. You can see the characters cleaning it up from the floor and off her dress afterwards.
Heart of Stone expanison:
- when you enter Shani's clinic/home, there will be ill NPCs v*ing.
- at the wedding there will be a lot of NPCs v*ing with (unrealistic) visuals shown for some reason, so be aware, mute the game when you're walking around if you want to.
- if you decide to give Shani alcohol during the wedding, she will v* during the... khm... boat scene.

While progressing through the story in Velen, if you choose to free the spirit that was imprisoned in the tree by the crones, someone will commit suicide in a story quest not long after that (you can search for specifics if you want). If you don’t want that to happen, you need to kill the spirit in the tree.
