- Complete Monster: The Lizard King, once a chieftain of the lizard men of Fire Island, took over the island's penal colony and converts it into a slave camp, forcing hundreds of prisoners to toil away in the island's gold mines, resulting in their deaths. Eager to ensure his dominance, the Lizard King bonds with a powerful Gonchong to make himself invincible and immortal, and launches raids across numerous islands around Fire Island over the course of several years, abducting more slaves when his current batch runs out and leaving numerous coastal villages in ruins, as well as conducting inhumane experiments on prisoners and even his own lizard men servants to ensure total control over his subjects and his eternal dominance.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: Certain fans seem to have something of an obsession with Mungo, a character who gets killed off early in the book.
- They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: A commonly badly-received change in newer editions is the replacement of the cover art. The classic cover is commonly cited as one of the most awesome covers of the series, worthy of a metal band album cover. The new cover? The Lizard King looks like an awkward geek who can barely lift his sword, and is surprised playing with it in his basement.
