- Complete Monster: Shgshthx, aka Reaver, is a sadistic Ancient of the Ethereal Realm who proves to be the evilest of his kind. Crossing over to Earth to punish the Fluidics who dared to escape the Ancient's tyranny, Shgshthx possess Jessica Weatherby and becomes the Fluidic killer, using Jessica's salt elemental powers to murder numerous Fluidics, intending to set an example to all the others still under the Ancient's control. Even while not possessing her, Shgshthx torments Jessica online while posing as her friend, sarcastically giving detailed confessions of the murders just to increase her suffering. Using his Mind Control powers to frame Dr. Diablerie for his crimes, Shgshthx climaxes by permanently taking control of Jessica—leaving her brain-dead—and trapping a large crowd of Fluidics between himself and the sea, intending to massacre them all. Purely to drag out everyone's suffering, Shgshthx forces Alison Arkin into partaking in a twisted game first, with him intending to massacre the Fluidics regardless of her answers.
- Fridge Brilliance: Why does the British public like the Fluidics so much and accepts them so openly? Because they really hate "causing a fuss", which Yahtzee describes as a defining trait of the British.
- Values Dissonance: The book features many Political Overcorrectness jokes, which can be rather alienating for more political correct types of people.
