* {{Oni}}: The beasts are based on the demon-ogres of Japanese Folklore. Both draw from the depiction of technicolor-skinned ogres with tiger hide-made loin-cloths and kanabÅs in hand.
* RedOniBlueOni: They are literal embodiments of this trope. "Embodiment of 'A'" is red-skinned and a BloodKnight. "Embodiment of 'Um'", by contrast, is blue-skinned and TheStoic.
