* AngstWhatAngst: Nell displays very few signs of the mental trauma you'd expect from someone who went through the hell she witnessed. None of her friends' horrific deaths triggers more than some cursory introspection on her part before she's right back to joking, flirting and business as usual. Most of the other protagonists act similarly. It becomes particularly bad when they [[spoiler:encounter the hendropods, with everyone pretty much instantly dropping all caution and fear in favor of trusting and socializing with an obviously highly intelligent species they know absolutely nothing about, on an island where everything else so far was trying to kill them horribly]].

He drips with contempt for humanity, and when faced with the incredibly deadly Henders life forms, he sees the opportunity to advance his plans. [[spoiler: He leaves his fellow scientists to die on Henders' Island, does everything he can to eliminate the intelligent and gentle Hendropods, and indisputably crosses the MoralEventHorizon when he releases five Henders Rats onto the ship with the intention of unleashing them on an unprepared humanity. The guy's as close to an OmnicidalManiac as a normal human villain can get. ]]

** In Pandemonium, [[spoiler: Kuzu is a far more sympathetic villain than Thatcher Redmond ever was, but by the time he's become convinced humanity needs to be wiped out with Henders fauna so he and his fellow Sels can inherit the Earth, he's well over the line of no return.]]
