* FriendOrIdolDecision: In "Krumm Gets Ahead", Krumm gets a prosthetic head to hold his eyes so that he has better use of his arms, but this causes problems, between both his newfound vanity for it and it interfering with the scares that he, Ickis, and Oblina are assigned to. Near the end of the episode, Ickis and Oblina get trapped in a car full of tin cans that's about to get crushed in a compactor. When Krumm comes to save them, he loses his prosthetic head, which is in danger of being crushed by a car suspended above it. Krumm has to choose between saving his friends or saving his prosthetic head, and inevitably ends up doing the former.

In "I Heard the Snorch Call My Name", he's fitted with an electronic voice box that allows him to speak normally, revealing himself to be [[FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome a smart and sensitive creature]]. Unfortunately, [[StatusQuoIsGod it doesn't last]] and he's quite downcast when he returns to normal.

* ItsASmallRide: In "Monsters are Fun", the carnival has the eponymous ride with cute-looking monsters singing "''We're the cutest monsters you've ever seen. We are joyful and jolly and never mean.''" Outraged at the ways the monsters (including himself) are depicted, The Gromble assigns Krumm and Oblina to scare the humans on the ride. Jealous that he wasn't chosen for the assignment, Ickis scares the humans instead. It turns out that the humans liked being scared and the barker takes advantage of this so that the humans will pay more to ride it.

* NecessaryEvil: Monsters ''have'' to scare humans in order to keep existing, because if humans don't believe in them they'll cease to exist. While there are bad and genuinely evil monsters out there, and monsters can take pride out of the scares they perform, the need to scare humans comes from a matter of survival and not a means to do harm.

Cue the main trio [[HereWeGoAgain having to do their assignment over]], including getting stuck in a suitcase going through the baggage carousel again.
