Treasure Map: Lubber finds one to Arabella Drummond's treasure in the beginning of Pirateology, but with a vital piece missing, it's basically useless. The piece Lubber recovers before his death from the marooned member of Drummond's crew is stored in the hidden cache of the journal's last envelope, and the coded message reveals the treasure to be hidden in the northwest corner of the Krakatoa Island which was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1883. In October 2012, it was reported that Carlos Saldanha, the director of the Ice Age and Rio films, was developing for 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios an animated feature film based on Alienology: The Complete Book of Extraterrestrials.

Humans Are Special: In Alienology, the only living creatures in the galaxy that can nullify S.L.I.M.E. are intelligent humans. Irony: Several historical figures throughout history in the series are implied to have been vampires. Despite all his brutality and sheer depravity, Vlad the Impaler was not one of them. Arbitrary Skepticism: In Monsterology, Ernest Drake denies the existence of the minotaur and the Mongolian death worm despite accepting the existence of griffins, centaurs and gorgons. Throughout the books, he also expresses skepticism on the subject of dinosaurs, which he describes as "rather improbable creatures", although he accepts their former existence in Monsterology. Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: John Oro, the one writing in the margins of Mythology, was familiar enough with the legend of Midas to know what power he was gifted with, but not the disastrous results that power gave him. The Greys: One of the most prominent races in Alienology. Their entire homeworld has been converted to city, they are capable of speech but prefer telepathy, and they eat only nutritional powder mixed with water.Books introduce us to new worlds, exciting characters and possibilities that ignite our imagination. Whether it’s a dangerous Thriller that gets your heart racing, or a quirky debut with a distinct voice you just can’t put down; a great book can whisk you away somewhere new and stay with you for a lifetime.
Artistic License – Paleontology: Justified In-Universe in Dinosaurology, with the inaccuracies that may appear being Hand Waved as either the results of editing or perhaps mistakes made by the fictional author. However, it doesn't excuse that amont other things, many of the sauropods have elephantine feet and the Deinonychus are sparsely-feathered. Science Is Wrong: Merlin claims so in Wizardology, but it’s an interesting variant—the sciences he’s familiar with are alchemy and astrology. One of his criticisms of alchemy is even that lead and gold are base elements and cannot be broken down or transmuted in anything less than a molecular level, something any chemistry scientist would know. Giants are only mentioned in passing, being sapient beings and thus not really a subject for a zoology work, but the one shown resembles a well-dressed British gentleman in every respect other than being over twice the height of a lamppost. Giants are also described as aggressive, but easily outwitted.

It's explained that dragons' fire breath is generated by a form of combustible venom. Except venom is a protein, which doesn't burn. It also doesn't explain how the Frost Dragon is able to breathe ice. Western dragons are split between three subspecies — the common European kind (which in artwork is shown as either the usual quadrupeds or as theropod-like bipeds), which live in mountain caves and hoard gold and gems; the smaller gargouilles, adapted for life as arboreal ambush predators but equally at home perching on high buildings; and the arctic dragons, always shown as quadrupeds, who migrate yearly between the North and South poles and breathe ice. Summon Treasure Cards allow you to add different mobs to your monstrodomes, or allow you to summon them in battle as a minion. While in battle, if you happen to be facing a monster you have an Expel Treasure Card for, you can use this card to get them out of the battle. Overwhelmed from battling by yourself? This can be a helpful tool! Your Inner Monstrologist The book describes how a four-legged dragon with wings could evolve via Darwin's theory of genetic mutation. This is inaccurate on two levels. One, there is no known way for a tetrapod to evolve an extra pair of limbs, and two, Darwin never discovered genetic mutation. Talk Like a Pirate: There's a little booklet in Pirateology that lists and defines common pirate lingo.
Magic Wand: There is a section of Wizardology that details these among other wizard tools, claiming that the type of magic a wand is good for depends on what sort of wood you use. All of the dragons are classified in the genus Draco. This is a real genus, and it is occupied by several species of gliding lizard from southeast Asia. Because the dragons in the books are look nothing like that lizard, they cannot be members of that genus.Monsterology: Fabulous Lives of the Creepy, the Revolting, and the Undead is the most fun anyone can have with some of the nastiest creatures ever imagined! Who can resist morsels like the fact that “Drakul” means “son of the dragon” in Romanian, that the first Golem may have been Enkidu, who appeared in the ancient Epic of Gilgamesh, and that Frankenstein’s Monster was first inspired by Mary Shelley’s nightmare?
