* FemmeFatale: [[spoiler: The woman that Poseidon has feelings for.]]
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: A major theme. The existance of the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology greek gods']] depend on the belief of men. But then in 1859, when UsefulNotes/CharlesDarwin published a book titled, "The Origin of Species", man's belief in the gods have dwindled to the point where even Hades and Zeus, both finding no reason to live on, have perished. Poseidon, however, lives on the belief of animals, [[LastofHisKind therefore possibly making him the last living greek god.]]
* GrandRomanticGesture: Poseidon pulls this off towards the woman he loves shortly after hearing that she's engaged. He caused the oceans to shake, a twister to appear, caused multiple sea creatures to appear with him standing on the tallest one. The setup was so glorious that the kraken thought for sure it would work.
-->'''Poseidon:''' And wherefore do not you consider this day an invitation to rule the ocean? And leave forever the earth's decay to take the hand that put it in motion?

* BigBad: Mothman, as seen in the cover art.
* BloodlessCarnage: Many examples, both played straight and subverted.
** Subverted, when Bigfoot Bill punches a guard in the face, the latter's tooth comes out along with some blood.
** More or less subverted. Poseidon grabs a human scientist by the coat, shapeshifts his head into a shark head, [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath and straight-up chomps the scientist in half and spews out a lot of blood!]] Of course, the worst parts were all shown with red silhouettes in a black background, [[NotHelpingYourCase but then again,]] [[CaptainObvious blood is red too.]]
*** Shortly afterward, however, Poseidon is conveniently shown to have ''no'' bloodstains on him.
**Mothman bites a guard in the arm, yet no blood is shown.
**Mothman grabs a bird and ''eats its head off'', yet, all we see is just feathers falling out of the former's mouth, and the decapitated bird body.
**A subversion: [[spoiler: Mothman's]] death sequence shows him disintegrating into skeletal parts and red stuff that's either his blood, guts, or both. [[spoiler: All of his remains gets sucked into the [[{{Hellgate}} gates of Hades.]]]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Mothman has the ability to look into the future and foresees a "terrible" gate that will be built [[ThePowerOfFriendship by friendship.]] However, because he does not understand the concept of friendship, he cannot see where and when it will happen. He is especially perplexed by the fact the Bigfoot Bill is friends with Agent Beckner, of all people, [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters or species for that matter.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Bigfoot Bill counts as one. Despite his [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold mostly-friendly nature]], he can be at times very harsh towards the other cryptos.
** While Bigfoot Bill tries to escape the Crypto-guards, he encounters a slime creature who greets him. Bill immediately grabs the slime creature and pastes it onto one of the guard's face, blinding him.
**When a [[ItMakesSenseInContext pair of walking pants]] walks up and asks Bill and his friends if he could join in on their game, Bill outright rejects him because... [[FantasticRacism he's a pair of pants, and they're animals.]] The pants then runs away crying, [[WhatTheHellHero and Bill's friends call him out for his bigotry.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler: At the end, it is revealed that the Chupacabra secretly works for Poseidon.]] [[spoiler: This was foreshadowed a few times when Chupa cheered for Poseidon for helping all the cryptos escape the Crypto-zone, and not to mention that Poseidon somehow knows Chupa's name.]]
* TheCameo: On page 80, [[spoiler: VideoGame/EarthwormJim]] can be seen among the escaping cryptos. Though he is only seen from the back.
* OneWingedAngel:
** A non-villainous example. [[spoiler: Bigfoot Bill, along with the Kraken,]] invoke the power of Hades by [[spoiler: simultaneously]] saying "Shemok Hemagog". and turn into a larger, a much more terrifying monster known as [[spoiler: Kraken Bill]]
* WouldHurtAChild:
** One example is played for laughs. When Bigfoot Bill sees a kid nearby, the Kraken attached to him says, "Can I eat it?"
** The next example is played more seriously. Mothman scours the city looking to absorb fear from one person, and he swoops in and kidnaps Georgia Lee, that same aforementioned kid that Bigfoot Bill befriended not too long ago.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Downplayed. The general who runs the Crypto-zone berates Beckner for not using the brain scrambler on Bigfoot Bill when he had the chance, which inadvertently caused all the cryptos to break free from the Crypto-zone and wreak havoc in Los Angeles. The general then immediately fires Beckner as a result.

Do not look for thy brothers, for they shall not enter the halls of Olympus again. Do fear parting with thy finger, for therein lies the power of the Kraken, and we all are bound to his coils."
