* VerbThis: [[spoiler: When he uses the Fight-O-Plankton's flamethrowers to torch the stump of the arm he just cut off, he shouts "Regenerate from ''this!''

* AntiVillain: Even though he [[spoiler:lead Sandy to the Patrick Cult, it's made clear that he did purely so that the Patricks would spare him.]] In fact, [[spoiler:at the start of Season 3, he feels tremendously guilty about his actions and heads back to fight the Tortured One with a HumongousMecha, complete with RedemptionEqualsDeath.]]

* AssimilationPlot: Their ultimate goal. Step One: Grow an army of Patrick clones [[AsteroidsMonster from Patrick's body]]. Step Two: Have each clone consume as many denizens of Bikini Bottom as it can. Step Three: Have each satiated and fully-grown clone travel beneath the Krusty Krab to merge with The Tortured One until every clone has joined into one {{Kaiju}}-sized starfish. Step Four: Finish off the Bikini Bottomites, then divide into more Kaiju-sized starfishes and continue consuming. Rinse and repeat until all life has been eaten as the Tortured One was once eaten.

* NoSympathy: When [[spoiler:Pearl expresses a desire to avenge her father's death]] at Patrick's hands, Sandy coldly replies that [[spoiler:Mr. Krabs]] got what he deserved.

* SpottingTheThread: In the comic's epilogue, Patrick says all the death and destruction wouldn't have happened if he never ate that undercooked Krabby Patty. [[spoiler:If he hadn't done that, he wouldn't have linked with The Tortured One and helped rampage through the city]]. That gets Sandy thinking because, as the only good fry cook at the Krusty Krab, [=SpongeBob=] takes extreme care when cooking Krabby Patties and would never undercook one. [[spoiler:Unless he knowingly did so]].

* NotQuiteBackToNormal: In the epilogue, [[spoiler:Squidward is mostly back to his normal appearance but he is still taller and quite muscular, in addition to having visible syphons.]]

* AdaptationalAbomination: [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants In the original show]], Patrick, as well as other starfishes in general, are pictured as cartoony and anthropomorphic. In Bikini Bottom Horror, however, their realistic design of their OneWingedAngel forms being based on real starfish biology makes the Patrick clones look more like {{Animalistic Abomination}}s here.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Patrick is the central antagonist of the webcomic, as he's on a mission to get revenge on Mr. Krabs for using starfish meat from Patrick's own tortured clone as Krabby Patties. He's more of a TragicVillain however, considering he assimilated all the pain and despair his clone felt all the time he spent being used as a living food supply.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Mr. Krabs is far worse in this version of the show, [[spoiler:as he imprisoned a clone of Patrick to harvest its limbs to use as a limitless source of Krabby Patty meat.]]

* FailedASpotCheck: [[spoiler:His entire business ran on keeping The Tortured One's meat harvesting a secret from the public, but he never suspected that any of his employees would find out and plan to do something about it behind his back. Though for Krabs, this is somewhat justified, as Squidward probably never cared enough to try to find out anything, and [=SpongeBob=] was too loyal to question his boss. Doesn't change the fact that Krabs never built a countermeasure to stop [=SpongeBob=] from finding out, concocting an evil scheme to get rid of Krabs, and feeding Patrick an undercooked Krabby Patty. But then again, foresight was never exactly old Harold's strong point, anyway. If it was, he would've survived Patrick's rampage.]]

* {{Greed}}: While Mr Krabs was always greedy in the original show and it made him do some questionable things, in this comic, his obsession with money lead him down a road that's downright horrific. Unless you consider [[spoiler:chopping off the arm of your employee's friend to have a neverending supply of meat a normal thing to happen because of greed]].
* KarmicDeath: For [[spoiler:cutting off Patrick's limb and using the subsequent clone as meat for Krabby Patties, Mr. Krabs is subjected to a slow and excruciatingly agonizing death that he ''knows he can't prevent'' via being force-fed a raw patty that grows into a Patrick inside him before bursting out.]] [[spoiler:Further adding to the karma is that Mr. Krabs, in a sense, betrayed Patrick by amputating him (presumably without consent), and leaving him with just three limbs out of his sheer hunger for money. Indirect as it was, Mr. Krabs' demise at the wrathful Patrick clones' hands was an intentional, clear result of [=SpongeBob's=] plan to take over Bikini Bottom by unleashing the Tortured One behind Eugene's back, meaning Mr. Krabs in turn was betrayed by [=SpongeBob=], and unlike what the crustaceous cheapskate did to the sea star, it was to his death.]]

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Mutilating the Tortured One to get meat for his Krabby Patties drove the Patrick clone to kill other people with [=SpongeBob=] insufficiently cooking one such meal for the original Patrick on purpose to ensure the carnage happened]]. That being said, [[spoiler:Krabs very likely did not know that their was a possibility of the Tortured One finding any means of retaliating, let alone his prized star frycook betraying him in such a horrible way. In fact, he was just as blindsided by the starfish attack as Sandy was.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Not to the same degree as [[spoiler:[=SpongeBob=]]], but as evidenced by the majority of his entry being whited out, this version of Eugene Harold Krabs is quite difficult to talk about in the comic's context, as some rather--to a hugely game-changing degree--shocking and insanely disturbing details regarding the main conflict will come up before long with him.

* AdaptationalVillainy: The ending reveals that [=SpongeBob=] undercooked a Krabby Patty on purpose, knowing full well that The Tortured One was being used as Krabby Patty meat and that Patrick would assimilate its traumas and go on a rampage. As it turns out, he was the real mastermind who manipulated everyone to get rid of Krabs and Plankton and allow him to TakeOverTheCity, establishing him as a sociopath unlike in canon. However, as AmbiguousSituation below notes, it's unclear whether this was his plan all along, or whether it was revenge on Mr. Krabs for his treatment of his best friend that [[GoneHorriblyRight spiraled out of control.]]

* AmbiguousSituation: [=SpongeBob’s=] reasons for serving Patrick the undercooked patty and his actions afterwards are never fully explained or justified, leaving it unclear if he really planned all this or if he’s just trying to make up for all the death and destruction he inadvertently caused. He has no interest in explaining himself to Sandy and wants nobody else to learn about his role in causing the events of the story. He does at least [[LonelyAtTheTop look sad]] when Sandy decides to leave him.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: [=SpongeBob=] apparently concocted a horrible plan that would do away with Krabs and Plankton and let him come out on top as an apparent hero.

* MonsterWhale: [[spoiler:Pearl thinks that she could have taken the Tortured One. Considering just how large sperm whales are, she's probably right.]]

The sponge himself, who is devoured by the Tortured One at the beginning of the comic.

* AccompliceByInaction: The entirety of his character. He is aware of the horrible treatment that the Patrick clone receives, but does nothing to assist him. He then allows Patrick to receive the memories of the clone, driving him insane. After which he fakes his death, allowing Patrick to rampage across the city, only reemerging after Mr. Krabs and Plankton have been killed. Saving the survivors may seem heroic, but he only does so to make himself the unquestioned ruler.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: [=SpongeBob=] concocted a horrible plan that would do away with Krabs and Plankton and let him come out on top as an apparent hero.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: We know he gave Patrick an undercooked patty on purpose, and he likely knew Patrick would assimilate the Tortured One's memories, but beyond that, his motivations and morality are largely a mystery. It's not even clear if taking over Bikini Bottom was his ultimate goal in the first place.

* AntiVillain: Even though he [[spoiler:lead Sandy to the Patrick Cult, it’s made clear that he did purely so that the Patricks would spare him.]] In fact, [[spoiler:at the start of Season 3, he is tremendously guilty at his actions and heads back to fight the Tortured One with a HumongousMecha, complete with RedemptionEqualsDeath.]]

* BigBadEnsemble: He is the main threat to Bikini Bottom as he aims to devour everyone in it as revenge for being used to make Krabby Patties, but [[spoiler:[=SpongeBob=] himself]] is using him to TakeOverTheCity.

* [[spoiler:DiesWideOpen]]: [[spoiler:His eyes remain open after his limbs are torn off and a Patrick bursts from his body.]]

* SuperSenses: Plankton (being, well, a planktonic copepod) has the ability to see individual cells in close detail. [[spoiler: looking at a Patrick who was holding a candle and got a drop of molten wax on his own arm, Plankton noticed that a Patrick's cells cannot regenerate if they're damaged by heat.]]

* HumungousMecha: Her mind can be uploaded into the Fight-O-Plankton.

* AmbiguousSituation: [=SpongeBob’s=] reasons for serving Patrick the undercooked patty and his actions afterwards are never fully explained or justified, leaving it unclear if he really planned all this or if he’s just making the best of a bad situation. He has no interest in explaining himself to Sandy and wants nobody else to learn about his role in causing the events of the story. He does at least [[LonelyAtTheTop look sad]] when Sandy decides to leave him.

* CreepyGood: Subverted. [=SpongeBob=] assumes a titanic, monstrous form to fight the Tortured One, but is still portrayed as heroic... until the epilogue, where it's revealed that he instigated the conflict all along.

* HiddenAgendaVillain: It's unclear precisely what his motives are for taking over Bikini Bottom or what he has in store for the town next.

* CloningBlues: The Tortured One is actually a clone of Patrick that was harvested by Mr. Krabs when he sawed off one of Patrick's limbs. The Tortured One was fed growth hormones and attached to a machine that cut off parts of his own flesh to use as an endless supply of Krabby Patty meat.

* CloningBlues: They are clones of Patrick, who assimilated the trauma of The Tortured One and was driven mad with rage.
