* SenseFreak: They revel in torture and pain because they view these sensations as continually thrilling and variable rather than pleasures they consider static and boring.



* WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver: Their designs trade the classic Cenobite black leather for exposed muscle and pale, pale skin on most of them, creating red-and-white humanoid terrors.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:While it's implied the Gasp would have taken Trevor anyway after Riley silently chooses him as a sacrifice, she cements it by stabbing him in the gut]]. With what [[EvilAllAlong he did]], it's hard not to feel like it's deserved.
