* {{Rule of Cool}}

* PillarOfLight: Manifested to shut down someone that breaks a covenant with them. (spoiler: [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0407.html here]])

->''"[[TheQuietOne ...]]"''

Marduk is supposedly the leader of the Western pantheon (equivalent to Odin or the defunct Zeus in this regard). He has to date played no role and had no line in the comic. He can be seen in Lord Shojo's tale about the making of the World and the origins of the Snarl.

* TheQuietOne

'''Lee:''' [[BatmanGambit Everything is coming together quite nicely.]]\\
'''Cedrik:''' [[GambitRoulette Yes, we've certainly thrown our chips in the pot now, haven't we?]]

* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: The bloodshed of his followers allowed him to transcend his mortality and become a god.

* BiggerBad: An odd example, as the the Dragon to the regular BigBad works for him, and The Dark One's plan is what drives much of the story.

* EvilOverlooker: In [[http://www.giantitp.com/Images/PostersTogetherBig.jpg this poster]].

* NumberOfTheBeast: Subverted with their adress, which is "9 Hells Plaza, Lower Planes 00999".

->''"RRAWWR!!"''

* {{Magnificent Bastard}}s: The deal they made with Vaarsuvius not only compromised him and got Xykon off his ass and back to conquering, but [[spoiler:''[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0842.html wiped out]] the entire [[MeaningfulName Draketooth]] family'', leaving the second-to-last gate '''completely unguarded.''']] About the only good thing that came of it was giving the Azurites a new homeland, and they'll still be still out of action for the foreseeable future.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: [[spoiler:It doesn't understand the concept of killing]]

'''Cedrik:''' [[XanatosRoulette Yes, we've certainly thrown our chips in the pot now, haven't we?]]

* XanatosGambit: The [[DealWithTheDevil Deal with a Mortal]] they made is just the ''start'' of it, apparently. Could probably be a XanatosRoulette altogether, since they admitted themselves that they couldn't control all aspects of their plan.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Durkon is a LawfulGood cleric of Thor, a (presumably) ChaoticGood deity. This shouldn't be possible based on core ''D&D'' rules. (Clerics can only be a 'step' away. So a cleric of Thor would need to be ChaoticGood, ChaoticNeutral, or NeutralGood.) Although [[WordOfGod Word of the Giant]] states that ''[=OotS=]'' Thor is distinct from both Nordic Thor and ''D&D'' Thor, so his alignment might not be ChaoticGood at all.

* GlowingEyes: Yellow, orange and purple -- with some debate about which color belong to which fiend.
