%%* EatenAlive
* EldritchAbomination: Previous versions of the story have skirted this trope with the Mist being home to alien animals which, despite their gruesome biology, behave largely as any other animals would. Whatever is in this version of the Mist seems much more difficult to comprehend and have a more complicated agenda.

%%* CombatTentacles
%%* CoolOldLady

* PoorCommunicationKills: Eva and [[spoiler:the undercover soldier find the radio.

* RedShirt: When Eve is about to enter a Mist-shrouded area to reach an emergency radio and a background extra volunteers to accompany her, you can imagine how it's going to end. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope And you would be wrong]] because the man is actually a soldier with knowledge of what is happening. When he evades Eve's questions while trying to communicate with his base a scuffle ensues between them and she is forced to shoot him in self-defense.]]
