* [[Mad Scientist]]: The Phaelites and the Meethlites, but the Hebbleskin Gang and Insila Murtillo (Ploribus' mother) in particular. The only reason that Centhuens, Centhuen Prototypes, Milthuens, Milthuen Prototypes, AI-possessed homocidal maniacs, werewolves, and other types of monster are even possible. That, and Zeran Holes.

*** The IKEA Stuff Pack, which came out in late 2008, [[You Are Too Late|was of little use]].
* [[Bury Your Gays|Bury Your Lesbians]]: Claire Rauscher, who jumps out a window to escape Musaran, and breaks her neck. While she [[Depraved Homosexual|did little harm to anyone]] in the story, Musaran [[For the Evulz|is nevertheless intent on killing her]]. For her, [[Failure Is the Only Option]].
