->"Catch you with my ''death'' bag. You may think I have gone ''insane'', but I ''promise''. I ''will'' kill again!"

->"I too have been touched by the devilish one. Tattoo on the left shoulder... Oh, but when I saw the face of God... I was changed. I took the entire arm off."

->"Do you know who I am? I am the Arm. And I sound like this..."

* MultipleChoicePast: BOB has multiple origins that are all considered canon.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: They have their own strange code of ethics that make no sense on a human level.

* TheCorrupter: His speciality. He inhabits Leland and constantly nudges him into doing evil, despicable acts. In ''The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer'', he takes pride in having turned the young Laura to a self-destructive life of sex and drugs just so she could avoid being "pure" enough for him to want to rape.

** "You may think I've gone insane, but I swear. I! WILL! KILL! AGAIN!"

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:screwing around with the rules of the Black Lodge and its other inhabitants in order to stay in the mortal plane, it is very karmic that said inhabitants in turn successfully plot to put an end to him, courtesy of using Freddie Sykes as a proxy, and to make it even more karmic, he dies the same way Maddy was killed at his hand: [[KarmicDeath by being beaten to death.]]]]

* SymbioticPossession: [[spoiler: Unlike with Leland who he controlled mercilessly, BOB seems to have this kind of relationship with the Evil Dale Cooper doppelganger he created. They both share the same goal of collecting garmonbozia and work together to avoid being sucked back into the Black Lodge. BOB!Cooper does all of the physical work while BOB remains mostly dormant but influences Doppel Coop's physical appearance and helps maintain the Doppelganger's status as TheDreaded.]]

A being created from MIKE severing his arm to remove his Fire Walk With Me tattoo. Despite this, the Arm seems to be on the side of Cooper.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: He never overtly opposes Cooper and seems to want to stop BOB, but he's also a resident of the Black Lodge and there's a very sinister air to all of his scenes.
** He works with BOB in [[spoiler: killing Josie Packard and claiming her soul.]]

A mysterious godlike being who is instrumental in solving the Laura Palmer case.

* EvilSmellsBad: A sign of BOB's presence is an inexplicable smell of oil or gasoline.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The Woodsman that appears in Fire Walk With Me doesn't have the same ash black face as the rest of them, nor is he DeliberatelyMonochrome.

* TheReveal: In the finale, The Experiment is revealed [[spoiler: as Judy]].

* CrypticConversation: Less so than The Man From Another Place, giving one straightforward clue - "Without chemicals, [[YouKnowTheOne he]] points." Some of his dialogue indicates that he genuinely wants to make more sense, but his ability to do so is somehow limited by forces out of his control.
* GentleGiant: His speaking voice is pleasant, and he's dressed smartly. It's difficult to imagine him hurting a fly. That said, he is a creature of the Black Lodge, a world of pure evil... but is also clearly a major figure in the White Lodge whenever he appears in black and white, so his [[IncrediblyLamePun true colors]] are unknown.

* HeelFaithTurn: Long before the series, he saw the face of God. Although, considering where MIKE is from, "God" may be another Black Lodge entity.

* NonLinearCharacter: Let's just say that the concept of time doesn't appear to have quite the same meaning to the denizens of the Lodge as it does to humans. To them past, present, and future appear to be very bendable terms.

* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: Douglas Milford speculates that they are basically this (with some elements of CosmicHorrorStory) in ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'':
-->'''Douglas Milford:''' I believe that they are a multitude and that their true nature is singular and energetic, not physical, evolved in some way light-years beyond our ability to understand, and as a consequence our limited, linear sense of time means nothing to them.
