* '''Played For Horror''': "Bloodgulper" is a XenomorphXerox. It's an implacable beast because it was designed to destroy and nothing else and kills truckloads of people in every scene it appears with lots of viciousness but no satisfaction because its primary goal (kill Alice) still has not been fulfilled.

** Alice and Bob try to figure out why the heck Bloodgulper is so obsessed with getting them, even performing life-risking stunts to bypass obstacles and refusing to eat other animals and the food they dumped to get yet another attempt to gnaw at the humans, and then they stumble on the discovery that Bloodgulper is [[ItCanThink extremely intelligent]] and equally sadistic. It is not going after easier prey because they don't scare like humans do, and the "life-risking stunts" is the beast indulging on whatever passes for a concept of the RuleOfCool in its mind. And trying to bore it or scare it off wouldn't work because that would make Bloodgulper switch reasons to hunt them down from "sport" to "[[ItsPersonal revenge]]" and become ''[[FromBadToWorse more]]'' obsessed with killing them.

* '''Played For Drama''': "Bloodgulper" is a drama about a runaway slave and the most vicious, determined dog in a slaver's hound group. As long as the dog appears implacable the poor man doesn't has any hope, [[AnimalNemesis so Bloodgulper turns into his greatest obstacle to clear]].

** Bloodgulper is [[JustAKid young and inexperienced,]] and they're only persistent because [[RealityEnsues they didn't realize they should just go for the jugular right away.]] Older adults soon arrive and drop off some prey they caught in five minutes, [[SubvertedTrope completely ignoring Bob and Alice.]]
