* BizarreAlienBiology: Gukuy are initially puzzled by a number of traits the humans exhibit, examples being [[BizarreAlienLocomotion the way they move]] and manipulate objects (Gukuy see it as unusually fast and difficult to understand), the means by which humans convey emotion (Gukuy change colours of their mantles to do this, with certain colours indicating certain emotions and initially mistake humans' skin colour as their expression, leading to some misunderstandings) and the fact that all males and females appear to be fertile (Gukuy have four sexes: sterile females, Mothers, sterile males and Truemales).

* BodyguardingABadass: Among the tribes that allow fertile females to take to the field, being part of the 8-strong group assigned to prevent her being flanked and force the enemy into position to be flattened by her is seen as being a high-honor/high-risk position.



* MightyGlacier: ''Any'' Battlemother, but Guo in particular. Mothers are a lot larger, slower, and stronger than females, but Guo is exceptionally large and powerful even for a mother. Their lack of speed requires special battle tactics to keep the enemy corraled so the Battlemother can crush them.

* CoversAlwaysLie: The book cover is intentionally misleading in that it makes it appear that Gukuy are the strange demons that humans are fighting, and that a Battlemother we can presume is Guo is the titular Mother of Demons. In actuality, it is humans who are considered demons by the Gukuy and their leader Indira Toledo thus referred to as the Mother of Demons. Also while there is a brief tense moment later in the book, Guo and her tribe only encounter humans by the end and are eventually allied with them.
