- Call-Back: When surrounded by adult ramacondas, Dawn is seen brandishing a pillow as her weapon.
- Companion Cube: Thunk finds a rock and confuses it for another egg. Though in The Stinger, it actually does hatch.

- Fluffy the Terrible: Eep and Dawn agree to name their baby ramaconda "Joy".

- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Eep's name candidates — Rageblade, Slaughter, Agony and Bloodstorm — are all meant to evoke this idea. She even reveals that "Bloodstorm" was what her parents would have named her if she was a boy.
- Never My Fault: When Dawn voices her concerns over putting Joy through a dangerous obstacle course, Guy sides with Dawn. When a close call makes Eep realize it's a bad idea, she gets irate with Guy and acts like it was his idea. Dawn even act offended at him too.
