* FateWorseThanDeath: As parasites, they prefer for their victims to stay alive as long as possible while their young feast on their flesh. Even [[LackOfEmpathy ''Mad'']] feels sympathy for those caught up in their swamp.
* KnightOfCerebus: Monsters before them could be intimidating and creepy, but the Mother Leeches using their venom on Cardinal and almost laying eggs in him kicked off a consistently darker tone for the rest of the series; taking things from action/adventure to pure horror.
* MamaBear: A dark example; they paralyze other creatures, including humans, for their children; and fight anybody who tries to stop them.
* TheParasite: Comes with being leeches.

A humanoid reptilian people who generally live in homogenous swamp communities in Laskmeer, though some individuals strike out to do business with other species.
----

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: They're not evil, but they can come across this way to humans because their culture lacks abstract concepts like dignity, honor etc. They value family, the survival of their species, pragmatism, and politeness. It's to the extent where it's actually diffict to be angry at a Clokken assassin, because you really know it's not personal.

Added DiffLines:

[[folder: Goblins]]

The native inhabitants of Laskmeer, driven away or into hiding by the Saama. Small green people who are regarded by historians as cruel, but whose folk beliefs influence the current culture.
----

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Deconstructed. Treated this way in in-universe histories and stories; they were apparently a culture based around cruelty who worshipped a God of Decay; and the Saamar were defending themselves from attacks when they slaughtered them. However, everyone from the peasants to the King of Laskmeer takes heed of their folk stories, and when we see a clan of them in Drathe's backstory they're superstitious but benign, and honor their end of a treaty with her village.
* HistoricalConflictCounterpart:
** Like Europeans and Native Americans, they were nearly wiped out by foreign settlers and villainized by history as savage aggressors, while their folklore was still held in high esteem by said settlers.
** Like Australians and Aboriginies, the settlers were forced (as a penal colony in Australia and as a people-group exile in Laskmeer) by a more powerful government than them to go to an island widely seen as wild and dangerous, where they had conflicts with the Natives that ended with said exiles gaining most political power.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: As a culture, they're demonized as another monster that the people of Laskmeer had to put down. It's implied that this is widely victors writing history.
* TheRemnant: After the genocide, a few tribes still exist on the island.

* MightyWhitey: While race relations aren't the same in Laskmeer as in our realm, his story in ''Useless Prince'' still fits; the wealthy son of a nobleman shows up to a group of poor, oppressed revolutionaries (mostly made up of [[FantasticRacism non-human races]]), and within a few days leads them to victory.
