Added DiffLines:

* BritishTeeth: His teeth are all yellow or brown, as well as crooked. He's also missing several teeth.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Gonk}}: His face is downright disgusting. His eyes are beady and too far apart. He has nostrils, but no nose. And his mouth is freakishly wide, and filled with BritishTeeth.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Tiger, Dragon, and Eagle are almost always in {{kayfabe}}, but Cobra breaks this by directly mocking Raz and referencing Edgar's high school days.

* VillainTeleportation: Dingo will do this to dodge anything Raz could throw at him. He'll conveniently forget he can do this when under the effects of Confusion.

to:

* VillainTeleportation: Dingo will do this to dodge Dingo, as a skilled matador, is very good at dodging and can teleport out of the way of anything Raz could tries to throw at him. He'll conveniently forget he can do this when under the effects of Confusion.

* EvilCounterpart: To the Librarian. Both are elements of a former Psychic Six member's mind who need to be dealt with because they're forcing their host into a bad coping mechanism out of belief that it's the only way to protect them. But while the Librarian just caused Cassie to isolate herself and is talked down after her boss fight, the Moth is causing Bob to self-destruct and is discarded as Bob realizes he doesn't need alcohol to deal with his trauma any more.



* HateSink: The Moth is a despicable character whose apparent redeeming quality is its protectiveness towards Bob -- but it is [[ToxicFriendInfluence far from a good guardian]]. Not only does its "protection" impede Bob's ability to form real connections and causes him to be trapped in his alcoholism, it actively hinders and hampers Raz's efforts to help Bob while speaking in a childish, irritating and ''extremely'' condescending tone at all times.

* DropTheHammer: They wield gavels about as big as themselves. Using TK to steal it from them is key to weakening them.


Added DiffLines:

* HumongousHeadedHammer: Judges wield a gavel taller than themselves, with a head large enough to potentially crush player character Raz beneath its head.

Added DiffLines:

* GlassCannon: They're incredibly easy to deal with if you focus on them with psi-blasts or telekinesis, but if they manage to hit you with their payloads, they can do multiple brains worth of damage to Raz.

* AllegoricalCharacter: She's Gloria's muse and inner sunshine, who refuses to come out because of the Phantom sabotaging every attempt she makes to perform on the stage. [[spoiler:Once Raz defeats Jasper, Bonita can finally perform without her inner critic stopping every attempt to move on and get better.]]

to:

* AllegoricalCharacter: She's She represents Gloria's muse ability to be happy and inner sunshine, who refuses to come out express herself. The reason Gloria's such a wreck in the present is because of the Phantom every time she tries to perform, something chases her off, returning Gloria to her depressed state.[[spoiler: Once Jasper Rolls is finally defeated, Bonita can perform onstage, allowing Gloria to finally enjoy life without her inner critic sabotaging every attempt she makes to perform on the stage. [[spoiler:Once Raz defeats Jasper, Bonita can finally perform without her inner critic stopping every attempt to move on and get better.on.]]



* YouKilledMyFather: She killed her sister Marona and her brother-in-law Lazlo Aquato, Augustus' parents and Razputin's paternal grandparents. Raz is horrified when he finds out the truth and tries to tell his family, but Ford stops him to protect Nona.

* YouKilledMyFather: She killed her sister Marona and her brother-in-law Lazlo Aquato, Augustus' parents and Razputin's paternal grandparents. Raz is horrified when he finds out the truth and tries to tell his family, but Ford stops him to protect Nona. Of course, this is one of the few crimes that actually ''weren't'' on purpose; Lucrecia had been intending to stop a protest by ''literally'' raining on their parade, but accidentally caused a nearby dam to break and flood the city.
* YourAnswerToEverything: KillItWithWater. This is actually quite literal, because Maligula is the personification of the part of the brain that answers with violence, without any conterbalancing forces to allow Lucrecia to ever choose any other solution to her problems.

Added DiffLines:

* NonActionBigBad: It isn't the final boss; that's Truheltia Memonstria. But it ''is'' the greatest threat in Bob's mind, because in stopping Truheltia Memonstria from being planted it's also keeping them ''alive'' and thus stopping Bob from moving on.

* TacticalSuicideBoss: Throwing her own bombs at her tentacles is how she's stunned and eventually defeated. This is likely invoked, as a gambling addiction is a risky and ultimately self-destructive behavior.

* TacticalSuicideBoss: Throwing her own bombs at her tentacles is how she's stunned and eventually defeated. This is likely invoked, as Of course, she ''is'' a gambling addiction addiction, so it makes sense that she's 'gambling' with her attacks. And just like how casinos are crafted to make sure you eventually lose more than you win, the more she attacks, the more likely it is that her bombs will make her lose the fight. And as the MookPromotion entry shows, she' essentially a risky really big Bad Idea, and ultimately self-destructive behavior.using an attack that can be thrown back at you ''is'' a really bad idea...


Added DiffLines:

* ControlFreak: The Librarian is, among other things, Cassie's desire to be in control of her surroundings. Normally this is a harmless desire to have her 'library' organized and quiet, but the trauma from fighting Maligula has led the Librarian to want to control Cassie's entire mind in order to keep her safe.

* AllegoricalCharacter: He is the ManchurianAgent within Boyd's mind, having been implanted there by Oleander to destroy all evidence of his and Loboto's EvilPlan. More specifically, he's a manifestation of Boyd's destructive impulses towards things that frighten or anger him, with Oleander brainwashing Boyd to create The Milkman from these impulses. Taking Boyd's family history into account, the Milkman might also serve as his idea of what would happen if his father (a real-life milkman) were to take revenge on his abusers.

Added DiffLines:

* FauxAffablyEvil: It acts caring to Bob and promises to protect him from his pas, but doesn't bother hiding its contempt to anyone else. And even to Bob itself, it's not a good thing because its smothering of all other parts of Bob's mind not only ruins his life in the real world, it prevents him from realizing that Truheltia Memonstria ''isn't'' an accurate representation of his old friends and thus fighting back.
