* DidntThinkThisThrough: When he first rounds up [[spoiler:most of]] the blue creatures, [[DitzyGenius Kermit]] goes to hide them somewhere in his house. When Evan asks him the next morning where he hid them, he replied his basement bathroom. Evan points out in shock that a bathroom contains plenty of sources of water, which the monsters consume to multiply. Kermit tried to counter this by saying that they’re in bags, only for Evan to snap at him that they’re in PLASTIC bags, which the now teethed monsters could chew out of in seconds.

* ButtMonkey: Evan, as usual. This whole story involves him getting one of the sleeves of his sweater pulled by Conan, getting bitten by one of Kermit's tarantulas, zapped by Kermit's electric fence, having his ear pulled by Conan until it swells, burning his lips after eating spaghetti spiked with hot sauce, and attacked by the Monster Blood creatures. [[spoiler: Not to mention about to be attacked by a gang of Conans at the end.]]

* AesopAmnesia: Let's face it. From what we read from the last two books of the saga, it would be rather redundant at this point to go on about how Andy ''still'' doesn't learn how dangerous the Monster Blood is when she decides to use some on Conan ''the second time '', especially since Evsn tells her the exact same reason ''why'' it's a bad idea as he did in the sequel.

* PuppyLove: Evan and Andy is the most obvious example in the series, with some blatant (adolescent-style) BelligerentSexualTension and for the most part behaving like a romantic pairing throughout the series, though never actually becoming an OfficialCouple.

--> ''Monster Blood'' subseries: [[Literature/{{Monster Blood}} I]] | [[Literature/{{Monster Blood II}} II]] | [[Literature/{{Monster Blood III}} III]] | '''IV'''

The last ''Monster Blood'' book in the original series of ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'', and also the final book in that entire run.

Andy has gotten her hands on some more Monster Blood! Sort of. This stuff is blue, and instead of growing, it reproduces. It also takes the form of slimy slugs with razor-sharp teeth. The plot is basically ''Film/{{Gremlins}}'' if Gizmo was also evil.

----

!!It provides examples of:

* AdoringThePests: Andy thinks the blue Monster Blood creature is cute and pets it. The creature ends up multiplying when it drinks water and soon the town is overrun with blue Monster Blood creatures. Making matters worse is the fact that while the first creature starts off as docile and friendly, the resulting creatures get aggressive as it multiplies. The more creatures pop up, the more aggressive they are.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Evan and Andy seem to have a kid version of this.
* BlobMonster: The blue Monster Blood is more animalistic than the gree stuff, but is still mostly slime.
* {{Bully}}: Conan's only purpose is to make Evan and Andy's lives miserable. [[spoiler:And in the end, there are two of him!]]
* GenderBlenderName: [[TomboyishName Andy]], [[DoNotCallMePaul whose real name is Andrea]].
* GreenIsGross: {{Averted| Trope}} - the Monster Blood is blue this time.
* IAmNotWeasel: The blue variant of Monster Blood actually turns out to be a genetics experiment GoneHorriblyWrong which the creator dumped inside an empty Monster Blood can when he couldn't find a proper container.
* NegativeContinuity: ''Monster Blood III''' ended with [[spoiler:Evan still shrinking]], but here he's perfectly fine. Perhaps Kermit managed to tweak his formula.
* PuppyLove: Evan and Andy is the most obvious example in the series, with some blatant (adolescent-style) BelligerentSexualTension and for the most part behaving like a romantic pairing throughout the series, though never actually becoming an OfficialCouple.
