Likewise, Savage's rampage on Devaron sees him slaughter clone troopers and Jedi with a spear, but none of them are shown to bleed.

** Savage's first line is warning his much-weaker brother not to draw attention to himself, showing his fraternal tendencies.
** The first thing Savage does after his transformation is to try to strangle Ventress on sight, showing his newfound brutality and violent temperament.

* GoryDiscretionShot: The blow that kills Master Halsey is entirely offscreen.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: After he manages to floor Master Halsey, Savage kills him with a brutal stab through the chest.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Both Ventress and the corrupted Savage display contempt for Feral's weakness, which may be cruel (she's been slaughtering Nightbrothers for half the episode and he's strangling his brother as he says it), but they're both right that Feral is a pathetic excuse for a warrior who wouldn't have survived the trials without Savage's help.

* MusclesAreMeaningless: Zigzagged; Ventress is much skinnier than any of the Nightbrothers she fights, but she's much stronger than any of them, but after Savage's transformation into a hulking behemoth, he's much stronger than she is and barely notices when she slaps him across the face.
* NoSell:
** When the transformed Savage initially hesitates to kill Feral as commanded, Ventress slaps him across the face to reinforce the order; Savage, who was previously knocked around like a ragdoll by Ventress, barely seems to notice the blow, not even blinking.
** One lucky clone trooper hits Savage square in the chest with a blaster bolt. Savage feels the hit, but doesn't even break his stride before he starts slaughtering the troopers.
