* OwlBeDamned: Subverted in that owls are on all sides, but the villains (especially Nyra) play the creepy owl factor for all it's worth.
** Hagsfiends. They're first mentioned as evil owl ghosts, and then, in books nine through eleven, it turns out that they're an actual species, but have since died out [[spoiler: aside from the Dragon Owls]]. It's even implied that an owl can turn into a hagsfiend if they are extremely evil, [[spoiler: which is implied to be the fate of Nyra.]]

** [[spoiler: Orlando was a Dragon Owl who did nothing all day but preen excessively. Then, his ideals changed drastically. He would put up with frivolous luxury no longer- he would purge himself of "vanities", from his own feathers to important books and scholars. He changed his name to "The Striga", and fled to the Great Ga'Hoole tree. From there, he managed to corrupt Coryn, plunging Ga'Hoole into despair, and burned books and owls all over the Hoolian world.]]

[[spoiler: Orlando was a Dragon Owl who did nothing all day but preen excessively. He then escaped by plucking his overly long feathers. After saving Soren's daughter, Bell, he brought her to Ga'Hoole. He used his heroism to his advantage and spread his idealisms throughout the Tree, and managed to corrupt Coryn, thus plunging Ga'Hoole into a state of despair. He had gathered an army of owls he had corrupted, and was going to burn both books and owls to show his power if the Guardians and the Greenowls of Ambala hadn't pulled a BigDamnHeroes.]]

* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler: Under all of the [[TastesLikeDiabetes sweet talking]], Aunt Finny is quite sadistic.

* ImAHumanitarian: Well, the owl version. [[spoiler: Some of St. Aggie's troops end up eating Digger's brother]].
