* YouNoTakeCandle: While some Kaiju can speak fluent English, those who have spent most or all of their lives in isolation, like Electrogor, talk in broken sentences. Whoofy speaks like this, perhaps due to his AmbiguousDisorder. Cannon noted in the Deluxe Edition trade that the language barrier between kaiju and humans became more cumbersome than it was worth and he phased it out in time.

-->'''Kang''':Never had a chance. And now he's dead and done hurting people. We can at least give him a burial.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Warden Jae-Yoon Kang is clearly feared by every monster in the prison, and for good reason. However, as stern and brutal as he can be, he is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure in comparison to his superior, Dr. Nobuko Matsumoto, who believes that the only good Kaiju is a dead Kaiju.

* DatingWhatDaddyHates: A more justified example than most.

Ultimately, [[spoiler:Electrogor helps Dr. Zhang out from under a toppled building during a chaotic moment, carrying her back to Torgax and relative safety]].

Added DiffLines:

* HadToComeToPrisonToBeACrook: Played with. Electogor was arrested for chewing on power cables, and a flashback early in Season One features him attacking a Team G.R.E.A.T. patrol boat, seemingly in retaliation for an incident where Torgax was injured by a whaling ship. In his annotations, Zander Cannon asserts that Electrogor isn't necessarily innocent of any crimes, but that he had a reason to commit them. By the end of the season, Electrogor [[spoiler: has attacked Warden Kang, assaulted The Creature of Devil's Creek (his cellmate) in response to being approached by the Cryptids to shank Ape-Whale, allows Gupta to sell the uranium pods growing out of his back, and aided in his own escape from Kaijumax]].

* AdultFear: Goat tells Electrogor that while he was in prison his daughter has undoubtably grown up from the child he remembers her as being, and has probably figured out the easiest way to support herself and her little brother is by selling her body. Electrogor refuses to believe his sweet little girl would do such things, and he's horrified to find out that the truth is almost even worse.
