* SaveTheVillain: Played with. When the Krakken is about to eat Jonas for stealing her eggs, Ripjaws intervenes in order to save his life. Jonas shrugs, as though wordlessly wondering why Ripjaws would bother saving him, to which he answers the question with an equally wordless ''punch'', letting Jonas know it wasn't entirely out of good will.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Shaw may be gruff and a little obsessed with hunting the Krakken. But when he discovers Ben has stowed away, although a bit annoyed, he's pretty lenient in letting Ben tag along. What's more, when interrogated by the bad guys about having somebody in company, Shaw lies about being alone in order to keep them from discovering Ben.

He claims it contained the crew's lunch, to which [=XLR8=] is dubious that "a few sandwiches" is worth getting killed by a sea monster. While PlayedForLaughs, it turns out Jonah was [[BlatantLies lying]]: the crate contains the Krakken's eggs.
