| 7 | ->'''The Control Voice''': Since the first living thing gazed upward through the darkness, Man has seldom been content merely to be born, to endure, and to die.

| 19 | * ReluctantMonster: Eck is a nice guy who just wants to go home, but unintentionally causes a lot of havoc (and one death) along the way. |
