Trivia[]
- As seen in this episode, a Fusion Shot is sometimes weaker than an Megamorph (a megamorph ghoul, to be more specific) as seen when Rocky and Bludgeon went up against a Megamorph Aquafreak.
- When Trixie, Kord and Pronto fire a Polero, a Rammstone and an Armashelt in an attempt to defeat the Megamorph ghouls, the scene from Episode 30 is reused.
- This is the last episode where Twist appears.
Errors[]
- When a Crystalyd is being ghouled, it changes into a Dark Urchin, which is the ghouled form of Dirt Urchin instead.
- When Eli loads Rookie in the blaster, a slug tube pops out even though the blaster had no Slug Tube.
- Eli is seen wearing a goon's suit while riding his Mecha Beast away with Kord, Trixie, Pronto and Redhook. But in a cavern, he's wearing his regular suit again.
