Line 25:
* [[Cute Mute]]: The sloth creature.
* [[Deserted Island]]: The titular Island.
* [[Died in Your Arms Tonight]]: Not in the novel, only the 1932 film. {{spoiler|Lota
* [[Everything's Better with Monkeys]]: Moreau first experimented on a gorilla to produce his first Beast Man. Later on, Prendick meets an Ape Man.
* [[Evil Redhead]]: Wells repeatedly mentions the fact that Captain Davis, the drunken, abusive schooner captain, has red hair. Admittedly Davis isn't so much "evil" as he is just a bully, but the repeated mentions of his hair color brings him close to this trope.
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]: Moreau seeks to improve animals by making them more and more human, hoping to eventually make one fully human.
* [[First-Person Peripheral Narrator]]: Prendick.
* [[Four-Fingered Hands]]: The novel's ape-man is exceedingly proud that he averts this trope, unlike most of the other beastfolk.
* [[A God Am I]]: Moreau never outright says it, but the Beastmen certainly view him this way.
** Played straight in Island of Lost Souls: "Mr. Parker, do you know what it's like to feel like God?"
* [[Humanity Ensues]]: Subverted with the Beast Men; although they are transformed into anthropomorphic forms they gradually regress back into animalistic forms, despite Moreau's best efforts.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Moreau.
* [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter]]: Only in the movies.
