NighInvulnerable, breathes in a lot of air to compensate for how little there is on Mars, sucks out all the fluids from human bodies by Osmosis and is full of alien bacteria that can make a leukemia-like effect on the human body and makes claw strikes very dangerous.

** Gino is found half-dead in an air vent, but the monster is also there and attacks his would-be rescuer Jack. Bob is furious that they left his brother behind, but when Jack says there was nothing that could be done, Bob says he doesn't blame anyone for the decision--he just hates the fact that it was made.
** Calder breaks his leg and has to be left behind by Carruthers, but when a delirious Van Heusen accuses him of having left Calder behind as bait for the monster so he could escape, Calder (still alive but trapped in another part of the ship) gets on the intercom to defend his action. Bob is later killed trying to rescue Calder because he was reluctant to leave him behind.

* RecycledInSpace: Inverted trope. The story has so many similarities to Scott's "Alien" that some people say this is a possible prototype to it. There are plenty of differences (well-armed government astronaut crew on this film vs ActionSurvivor "space truckers" on the other film, for example), but he concedes that there ''are'' similarities-although it could be both drawing from one of the first "spaceship crew trapped with murderous alien" stories, ''Literature/TheVoyageOfTheSpaceBeagle''.
