Death of a Child | |
| A Tropical Horror / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Death of a Child: The loss that most emotionally-affects Thompson is that of the fourteen-year-old youngest apprentice seaman, "Joky". | |

Multipurpose Tongue | |
| A Tropical Horror / int_2ab837ce | comment |
Multipurpose Tongue: The monster's tongue serves it as tentacle, claw and probe. | |

Barrier-Busting Blow | |
| A Tropical Horror / int_3d1f2cae | comment |
Barrier-Busting Blow: The climax is precipitated when the monster smashes its bladed tongue through the after-port of the steel wheelhouse in which Thompson and Joky are sheltering. | |

The Cabin Boy | |
| A Tropical Horror / int_419c05af | comment |
The Cabin Boy: "Joky" is technically an apprentice seaman rather than a cabin boy, but as the youngest person aboard the Glen Doon (at age 14) he fills that character role among her crew. | |

Improvised Weapon | |
| A Tropical Horror / int_4de1a4f7 | comment |
Improvised Weapon: The axe Thompson uses to maim the monster is a hatchet from a carpenter's toolchest. This was not designed as a weapon, but rather a tool; it serves well enough, though. | |

Tentacled Terror | |
| A Tropical Horror / int_7b7f0141 | comment |
Tentacled Terror: The monster is vaguely mollusk-like, but of some unknown class: it is propelled by a long flat tail, has an immense vaguely slug-like body with a long neck ending in its head, sporting "little pig-eyes," a huge mouth (big enough to swallow a man whole) equipped with a long and very rapid bladed tongue-tentacle. | |

It's Personal | |
| A Tropical Horror / int_a0db7803 | comment |
It's Personal: Thompson loses all fear and cuts off the monster's tongue-tentacle when it kills Joky. Justified , as the victim had already been established as his good friend. | |

Insistent Terminology | |
| A Tropical Horror / int_e563bf09 | comment |
Insistent Terminology: Thompson keeps calling the monster a "sea serpent," even though it looks only vaguely like one. Then again, he's a sailor, not a marine biologist. | |
