  • Complete Monster: Jay Hoop literally by the time of the novel and Rebecca Frisk in The Skinner; also, the Prador are pretty much an entire species of these. So are the Jain.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Many... Practically a requirement to join the cast...
    • Mr. Crane is a walking Crowning Moment of Awesome with an aura buff that causes these to happen in his presence.
    • A teenage Outlinker (a species of human so flimsy that they can only survive in zero gravity), wiping out a platoon of baseline human soldiers.
    • Jack Ketch's battle against four of his own attack ship offspring.
    • The final fight against the Erebus' fleet/hivemind/swarm.
  • Evil Is Cool: Straight or Averted, some YMMV here, as while a lot of the evil characters have some cool elements, generally these are overshadowed by other things, such as Body Horror, incest, stupidity and being Complete Monsters.
  • Evil Is Sexy: Subverted in all cases, except possibly for Arian Pelter, possibly.
