• Ascended Extra: The weapon salesmen? Yeah, his name's Dave.
• Awesome but Impractical: The Sword, which generally does 1 damage to any decent Krawl.
• Bag of Spilling: yeah, all the stuff you got in the first game, say buh-bye. You even lose Aldous and Tindera for crying out loud! And the anchient ship too.
• Battle in the Rain: Rallen's first fight with the Spectrobes. Sadly, it's only raining in the outside world.
• Big Bad: Krux, a fallen Spectrobes master
• Big Damn Heroes: Tindera at the end of Portals
• Bishounen Line: the high Krawl
• Catch Phrase: Iku Ze!
