- Complete Monster: Many of the Masters. They program their slaves to howl and shriek with pain when beaten, for their enjoyment.
- Harsher in Hindsight: It's bad enough when we learn that Eloise's reward for wining the contest is to serve the Tripods in their City. It's even worse when we learn that she serves them as a stuffed specimen.
- Serial Numbers Filed Off: The Tripods are inspired by the fighting machines from The War of the Worlds, as is the appearance of the Masters as giant tentacled heads.
