* Ahuul witnesses Tyrantor's birth from a distance, and realizes instantly that by taking the kid out of the picture, he can achieve the ultimate revenge on Tyrantis.
* The Terror is revealed to have been converted into a cyborg monster known as the Thunderchild prototype, or as it is later known, [=MechaTyrantis=]. But when we first see it, it's in a state of complete and utter mental agony. The Terror feels as if he's in a nightmare from which there is no waking, and he can actually feel the places where his parts were replaced with robotic ones. And when Ludlow pilots him, he hears a secondary voice slowly overriding his own and taking over his very consciousness, and there's nothing he can do about it (for a while) except survive off of his hatred of Tyrantis. AndIMustScream has never applied so hard to a non-human.

* The monsters of Green Hell are extremely hostile to any and all intruders. Though Bobo is the exception, the other two, [[WickedWasps Chlorespa]] and [[SlayingMantis Mantiresia]], go on the attack as soon as possible. The worst part is that they're in fact being controlled by Dr. Murnau, who's using a special sound frequency machine to manipulate their actions. At one point for a demonstration, he summons them [[KickTheDog just to make them fight against each other.]]

* After Clark has a plane drop a nuclear bomb right on the Myrmidant colony mound, it summons something far worse. A giant black scorpion named Girtabane. One of its first actions is to grab an attacking Ajaxant, and rip it into three pieces.

** If one looks at her design, they'll notice just how similar its NightmareFace is to [[Film/TheBlackScorpion the infamous b-movie monster its based on.]] The only saving grace here is that it doesn't have human-like eyes on top of that.

* The way J.C. Clark is able to make almost everyone he initially comes across reel in fear. He's outright called someone who looks like a new-age personification of death, and he's enough to make even General Sherman cower for a time. Even Lerna thinks that he's killed plenty of people in the past just by looking at him. Much later, we learn that there are plenty of other reasons to be wary of him.

* [[WorldWreckingWave The Superquake of 54.]] For one thing, it was triggered by nuclear testing, which means that it's our fault. But more than that, this thing spread across every land mass neighboring the pacific ocean and shook it to its core. It's measured as having a magnitude of '''9.6''', maybe even greater. To give you an idea, that's almost more than the Valdivia Earthquake of 1960, the biggest earthquake in our time. This one led to the deaths of around 4,000 people, and practically reshaped everywhere it touched. And on top of everything, THIS is what triggers [[FromBadToWorse the kaiju crisis.]]
