Bloodless Carnage: In the opening scene, a group of lumberjacks are slaughtered by the monster. It's all done in the dark, we hear them die but see nothing, and is rather spooky... until the next morning when we see their bodies, completely untouched.

Affably Evil: Isley, almost to the point of being an Anti-Villain. He's genuinely nice and helpful to Rob and Maggie early on, only showing his nastier side when encountering the Indians. He seems to have turned a blind eye to pollution rather than explicitly ordered it, resulting in a last act Heel–Face Turn.

Bears Are Bad News: Katahdin is a giant mutant bear that earns its name after a mythological being of Native American folklore.
