The animals treat manmade objects completely casually, rarely even acknowledging them. Even Avas radio isn't commented on by anyone who meets her. The only reaction they have to the ruined city is in relation to the off screen carnage caused by the savage animals.

** In the final episode of the original run, and throughout most episodes of ''Fall'', Darius's [[GraveRobbing obsession with collecting skulls]] is something of a RunningGag. However, it only truly pays off in Episode 8: [[spoiler:it turns out Darius's skull obsession (and possibly fetish) is ''the only reason Shadowstone Park is still standing'', since his ongoing request to the Shadowstone's AI is causing it to spend 90% of its energy resources on mass-producing skulls for him, preventing it from fully waking up]].

* HumansAreBastards: [[spoiler:Present in the backstory, despite no humans appearing in the story proper: apparently the reason why the animals became uplifted was because humans refused to stop killing them for food even after their biology was altered to no longer require doing so. In a memory, Nil explains that they hope that giving animals the ability to communicate will cause humans to stop killing them; the AI responds by asking [[ArmorPiercingQuestion if humans have even stopped killing humans]], visibly giving Nil pause. It's even implied that humans are the ''only'' species not to have accepted a nonviolent lifestyle, since the speech in Episode 7 implies that even fully carnivorous species like lions and birds of prey have stopped hunting en masse.]]

** An even bigger one split across Episodes 7 and 8: [[spoiler:the Shadowstones are actually ships created by an alien race- one member of which is Nil- designed to bring peace across the universe by granting all other species their creators' ability to take sustenance from nonliving matter, thereby eliminating any need to kill to survive. However, after succeeding in doing so on many planets, the ships encountered trouble on Earth, where humans refused to change their behavior even as their biology was altered to no longer require predation. In an attempt to fix this, the aliens granted sapience to all of the animals, explaining their ability to talk in the series. However, the ships were somehow infected by the "evil Gaia" that opposes life; the only way to stop it from taking over was to discharge all of the Shadowstone's power, killing all of the crew aboard (thereby explaining how Nil died).]]
