Bizarre Alien Biology
 Scavengers' Reign / int_1161fb48
comment
Bizarre Alien Biology: There are massive sea creatures that keep their eggs hidden inside some special tube during storms, bird-like creatures who use panels on their heads to fry their prey, psychic creatures that hypnotize thralls to get food, plants that create copies of their prey to propogate themselves, and much more, which is not surprising for a completely alien planet.

Genetic Memory
 Scavengers' Reign / int_2933bdf5
comment
Kamen directly upsets the balance of the ecosystem on Vesta when the Hollow manages to brainwash him, allowing it to gain access to prey it could never have killed on its own and grow to massive size. This culminates in the finale, when the Hollow attacks the resurrected Levi, and tries to use its black goop to psychically connect with Levi and overpower her. This backfires as Levi and the yellow mold give the Hollow a mind blast full of the Genetic Memory of their planet, reducing it back to the size of an infant.

Can't Live Without You: The parasite that Sam is infected with latches onto his heart, and Ursula determines that trying to pull it off would likely kill him. Though Ursula holds out hope that the Demeter's medical facilities can remove it safely, Sam ultimately chooses to pull it off himself before it can completely take over his mind, causing him to bleed to death.

Bad Black Barf: The telepathic creatures hunt by feeding a black substance to other creatures, which brainwashes them into gathering food for them. They normally do this with small, amoeba-like creatures to get them to gather berries, but the Hollow hits the jackpot when it finds Kamen, who is able to kill much larger prey, allowing it to grow well beyond the size its kind normally do.

Flower Motifs: A white flower can be seen throughout the show, often blooming where something's died. Midway through the season there's a scene that shows a compilation of them, backtracking through the whole journey to that point. Late in the season it's revealed to be the source of the yellow mold that kick-started Levi's sentience. Barry finds one on the Demeter and puts in in the shuttle with the cargo, causing Alien Kudzu to render it inoperable after Kris uses the shuttle to escape Vesta on her own.

Bittersweet Ending: Kris takes off in the only escape shuttle, stranding everyone else on Vesta, but the Hollow has been defeated and many of the remaining crew members were able to be rescued from cryosleep. A Time Skip shows that the survivors have started to build a thriving society in the ship's wreckage with the help of the resurrected Levi, while Kris experiences Laser-Guided Karma as Alien Kudzu overwhelms the shuttle. However, Sam, Terence, and countless other survivors are dead, and there's no indication of any rescue coming to Vesta any time soon.

Gainax Ending: Combined with a Sequel Hook. After the Time Skip in episode 12, the escape shuttle is shown getting picked up by a mysterious ship crewed by masked cultists, who discover that the shuttle has somehow been almost totally consumed by Alien Kudzu. The cultists find Kris barely alive in the hold, and then turn around to discover one of the miniature organic Levis from Vesta greeting them. Exactly what any of this means is wildly up for interpretation unless we get a second season.

Hive Mind: Downplayed but present. Levi seemed to be in contact with it through the yellow mold in his processor, and it acts to rebuild him using several separate species. Anything and anyone who dies on Vesta gets a pale white-blue flower, and miniature Levi's grow in pods at the roots, while light flows from the flower. Then there's the psychic "attack" in the climax where Levi shows the Hollow the totality of Vesta's evolution and regresses it to an infant.

Healing Factor: The telepathic creatures evidently have it. During Azi's brief fight with the one that absorbed Kamen, she manages to cut a massive gash into its side with her glaive, only for it to reseal the wound after a few seconds.

Upsetting the Balance
 Scavengers' Reign / int_a7ee485b
comment
Upsetting the Balance: Kamen directly upsets the balance of the ecosystem on Vesta when the Hollow manages to brainwash him, allowing it to gain access to prey it could never have killed on its own and grow to massive size. This culminates in the finale, when the Hollow attacks the resurrected Levi, and tries to use its black goop to psychically connect with Levi and overpower her. This backfires as Levi and the yellow mold give the Hollow a mind blast full of the Genetic Memory of their planet, reducing it back to the size of an infant. More broadly, the human survivors are shown to give an edge to the native life that they wouldn't have otherwise. The parasite, for example, lucks out when it infests a survivor that can build more complex habitats and strategically infect other lifeforms.

Story Breadcrumbs
 Scavengers' Reign / int_afbf2c80
comment
Story Breadcrumbs: Each episode provides tiny bits of backstory as to how the survivors wound up on the planet. A coolant leak on the ship made it impossible to reach their original destination with their cargo intact, and Kamen diverted the ship's course to correct for it, passing by an unstable sun in the process. The ship was hit by a solar flare as it passed over Vesta, resulting in the crash.

It's All About Me
 Scavengers' Reign / int_bb18a227
comment
It's All About Me: A lot of Kamen's troubles, both in his personal life and aboard the Demeter, stem from this. Romantically, his fiance Fiona previously broke up with him due to him never having time for her, and he convinces her to take a job on the Demeter as a way to advance her career and fix their relationship. Things repeat and break down in the ship, with her moving out of their shared quarters. Once the cargo he's in charge shows signs it will degrade before reaching their destination, he asks Sam for help by changing the ships course. When Sam brusquely refuses, Kamen secretly changes the course and dooms everyone.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Kamen and the Hollow communicate via visions where it uses memories of Kamen and Fiona. Towards thee end of the series, the Hollow finds Fiona's corpse and sleeps next to it. After that point the Hallucination of Fiona is entirely new, not a memory, and confronts Kamen with his moral failings, prompting him to finally want to leave the inside of the creature.

From Nobody to Nightmare: Kamen's efforts to feed the Hollow go from collecting fruit to killing other local animals. It goes from herbivore to carnivore and giving it an ample food source allows the Hollow to grow to massive size, and decide all other humans are dangerous and goes about killing them.

Kill and Replace: The pod plants use their tentacles to take the blood sample of passing animals, while also injecting them with a paralytic. The blood sample is used to create a facsimile of the targeted animal, which buries its paralyzed double and infiltrates the herd. It then explodes among them, its acidic flesh killing the entire herd and using them to spawn a new batch of pods.
