* HandSignals: According to Ax, andalites used this method to communicate before proceeding with thought-speak.

* TakeAThirdOption: In ''The Offer'', on top of what they do in canon with what the Ellimist "provides", they accept his other offer…on the condition that the Animorphs remain to fight.

* TemptingFate: Marco discusses this when he heard Cassie drugged Jake/Temrash's sandwich with sedative. He said as he looked to the sky, “Oh, nothing. Just waiting for Tobias to come streaking across the sky screaming 'he's escaped!' That sort of thing always happens when somebody starts talking optimistically. No one streaked across the sky until ''lunch'', and it was ''Ax'' who did rather than Tobias, who had been held hostage.

* EmotionBomb: During one of Temrash's escape attempts, Cassie staggers him by emanating her negative emotions (he had beaned her with a rock moments ago). She considers the possible uses of this "thought-speak emotional blast" later on.

* NonPoweredCostumedHero: The Star Defenders. They first debuted in ''The Reaction'' when one of their number[[spoiler:, Melissa Chapman, alias Cat,]] rescued Rachel and Cassie from Controllers that almost spotted them.

* TheShrink: Johnson, the school counselor recommended by the school to Cassie in ''The Incubation''.

* StableTimeLoop: ''The Incubation'', just like ''The Forgotten'' in the original, is about resolving a Sario Rip. The twist is, the Animorphs now know it's coming thanks to Cassie convincing Jake to share his visions to the group, and they have to figure out how to make sure they survive it.
