* [[Adventure Narrator Syndrome]]: Miette says, "I can't do that!" if you keep clicking in the wrong places in the video game adaptation. And it could happen a lot too.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Krank suffers everything his victims do in his failed experiments, is pathetically incapable of understanding why even his kindest acts only frighten the children, is shown to suffer horribly from Uncle Irvin's verbal abuse, and is hinted to be the result of some other [[Big Bad]]'s hideous and twisted experiment himself. Even at his worst, his condition is so pitiable, it's heartbreaking.
