- The Norwegians are killed, and the Thing-dog is taken into the American camp.
- Thing-dog assimilates people when they're alone, exploiting individuals and isolation.
- Thing uses aggressive mimicry to induce paranoia, setting the Americans against one another.

- Author who wrote the original story (called: Who Goes There?) was openly racist, it was written in 1938 before the lead-up to WW2.
