* MoralEventHorizon: Sarris crosses it when we first find out that he's a ''very'' real villain, and it's revealed that the genocide against the Thermians is not only real, but it's got no motivation apart from ForTheEvulz.
* NightmareFuel: Sarris deliberately suffocating the Thermians.
** A few UglyCute mook creatures ripping one of their ranks to shreds, which is almost immediately followed by a native beast being the victim of a teleportation gone horribly wrong, turning inside out and then [[StuffBlowingUp ''exploding'']].

* CompleteMonster: Unsurprisingly, Sarris, the genocidal warlord with a penchant for ColdBloodedTorture, ticks off all five of this trope's criteria with considerable aplomb.

* CompleteMonster: Unsurprisingly, Sarris, the genocidal The Galactic warlord with Sarris could be considered a penchant for ColdBloodedTorture, ticks off all five complete monster, [[VileVillainSaccharineShow especially by comedy film standards]]. For no discernible reason, he attempts complete genocide of the peaceful Thermians. He doesn't do this trope's criteria with considerable aplomb.just through brute force, but also through lies and promises of mercy, when the Thermians don't even understand the CONCEPT of deception or lies. And then, when he decides to execute the remainder of the Thermians by destroying the ship ("Far too simple a death for them, isn't it?"), he decides that it would be far more fitting for them to slowly suffocate as the air was pumped out of the ship. There's also his torture of the Thermians' last captain before Mathesar: she told Sarris everything she knew about the ship and the Omega-13 and begged him to kill her. His response? "When I grow tired of the noises you make, you shall die." ''And'' [[DisproportionateRetribution what happened to the shield tech who didn't get the shields up fast enough for Sarris's liking]]. CompleteMonster? Without a doubt.

** Also, Shepherd is fighting Gorignak (the rock monster), and remarks that he "doesn't have any weak points." The line becomes especially ironic when Gorignak later makes a kind-of reappearance in MetroidPrime, where its revealed that it does have a weakness (using the thermal visor to locate the weak phazon ore, expose it with firepower, and then finishing it off with firepower while using the combat visor.
