* BastardBoyfriend: To his college girlfriend, Jacqueline. The psychological damage he inflicted to her not only lowered her self esteem, but drove her to throw her life away so she'd one day become perfect for him.

* BastardBoyfriend: To his college girlfriend, Jacqueline. The psychological damage he inflicted to her not only lowered her self esteem, but drove her to throw her life away so she'd one day become perfect for him. The real kicker? It was all over her not liking ''eggs''.



* BitchInSheepsClothing: Has some occasional glimpses of a VERY unpleasant streak, most noteably related to his obsession with eggs.



** You really cant stress this enough, since the demons on the show are portrayed as virtually incapable of affection and love, even to their own families.



* BodyHorror: Being a living corpse, Randalls body is in a state of decay, and parts of him are often falling off or gets replaced. And then there's the time [[ItMakesSenseInContext he got turned into a giant flower]].



* BizarreAlienBiology: Despite looking human, wizards are apparently a separate species, as shown in the episode where its revealed that they lay an egg that will hatch into their successor.



* {{Satan}}: Kind of. While he is referred to as "the Devil", this appears to be a title for the current head of Satan's line.

Misuse. Adult Child (now One Of The Kids) isn\'t just a childish adult(which is Man Child). It\'s a usually immature adult that spends most of their time with children



* AdultChild: When he goes to his family's house for Samhain, he wears goofy pajamas and reads comic books with a flashlight at night.
** He's also ''ecstatic'' over the prospect of going to Summer Camp, to the point of forgetting the reason for being there in favor of carving a ([[HiddenDepths rather ornate]]) totem pole.
** He also can't poop away from home [[spoiler: due to abandonment issues.]]

Abusively Sexy Woman to Bastard Girlfriend per the Rape Tropes Special Efforts thread


* AbusivelySexyWoman



* [[BastardBoyfriend Bastard Girlfriend]]- She's pretty horrible to Mark most of the time, being half demon and hall. But the times she ''does'' open up to him and show him her human side, it's almost always a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.
