* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The Curse of vampirism was created in a long-ago time as a twisted mockery of the powers and weaknesses of the priests of an Earth goddess (for instance, they drank blood freely given by volunteers as a symbol of the interconnectedness of living things, were harmed by wood because it was once-but-no-longer living, and by sunlight because being so closely aligned with the Earth strained their connection to other powers). Jason learns all this when his FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire is revealed to be not a Curseborn vampire but the actual last priest of the goddess.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Werewolves are [[VoluntaryShapeshifting voluntary shapeshifters]] capable of perfectly imitating other human forms, and have several other non-standard abilities. They're powerful enough that even "the Great Demons" wouldn't lightly defy the will of the Werewolf King Virigar. Also, they devour souls. The narrator's FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire friend tells him:
-->"Their strength is immense, their cunning formidable, and their ability to shift shape, though confined to a wolflike predator on the one hand, is unlimited in the human range; they can be anyone at all. They do not fear night or day, nor does the phase of the moon have any effect on them. They also have a talent similar to my own to charm and cloud other minds... There is nothing I have seen ... that I fear more than the Werewolf King."
