History Recap / WhatWeDoInTheShadowsS1E3WerewolfFeud

* MagicalNativeAmerican: Discussed. Nadja asks the werewolves if they're Indian, and they blame ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' (where the wolf shapeshifters were Quileute) for this misconception. One of them ''is'' Native American, but that has nothing to do with being a werewolf. It's not an ethnic thing.

* HedgeTrimmer: Laszlo seems to have a passion and talent for hedge-trimming, trimming bushes into the likeness of Anubis, a chimera, a bunny, and (speaking of bushes) recreations of vaginas he is intimately familiar with (including Mary Ann Nichols, Nadja, Nancy Reagan, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick his own mother]]). The bunny is his favorite.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: In wolf form, they look like huge, anthropomorphic wolves that can walk on their hind legs. They display typical animal behaviour, even in human form, like marking their territory with urine. They have the classic weakness to silver. While the full moon is usually required for them to transform, at least one of them can actively trigger his transformation even without the full moon by simply imagining the full moon being there (he has a vivid imagination), catching the vampires by surprise.

* WizardDuel: After hours, Colin Robinson and Evie do a face-off, trying to out-drain each other. After a dramatic face-off, they decide that they would be more effective if they worked together.

* FiveTokenBand: The Staten Island Werewolf Support Group is composed of an Indian, a Native American, an African-American, a Caribbean-Canadian (a Saskatoonian, specifically) and [[TokenWhite a Caucasian]].

* GuileHero: When picking a weapon to fight a nine foot tall pissed of werewolf on a roof, Nandor picks a squeaky dog toy, gets the wolf's attention, and then throws it off the roof making the wolf jump after it. The toy was [[CrazyPrepared already in Nandor's stash of weapons]] prepared for him by Guillermo, suggesting that [[BatmanGambit he may have done this before.]]

* NotAMorningPerson: Inverted. Colin Robinson identifies as a morning person, annoying his roommates being his "cup of coffee".
* PetTheDog: The vampires leave the werewolves to "lick their wounds" (figuratively) after the fight and genuinely sympathize with their loss.
* ShownTheirWork: Just as the term "energy vampire" used for Colin is a RealLife (if somewhat overwrought) term people use for interacting with someone somewhere on the antisocial personality disorder spectrum (someone who enjoys deliberately wasting your time or pissing you off), "emotional vampire" is a term for someone who (like Evie) intentionally generates emotional conflict to "feed" on other people's reactions of pity and distress, a trait associated with other cluster B personality disorders (usually histrionic or borderline personality disorder).
* SkinWalker: During their stalemate, Nadja throws jabs at them by [[Film/{{Twilight}} asking if they are all Indians]]. They all take offense to that, [[InsistentTerminology though one comments that he is Indian because his father is from India]], while another actually ''is'' Native American, who insists that the fact that he is a werewolf is a coincidence.

** Arjan does not have the healing abilities he claims to have.

* FailedAttemptAtDrama: When the vampires make it to the TruceZone, they try and make a badass entrance, but they are five minutes early, so no one is there to see it.

* TheWoobie: Evie is a ''weaponized'' Woobie, able to drain energy from people's pity and sympathy no matter how obviously fake her sob stories are.

* WizardDuel: After hours, Colin Robinson and Evie do a face-off, trying to out-drain each other. After a dramatic face-off, they decide that they would be more effective if they worked together.

* BiTheWay: Nadja is familiar with Laszlo's sister's vulva.

* EmotionEater: Evie is an emotional vampire (a type of energy vampire). While Colin feeds on energy by being obnoxiously invasive and boring, Evie feeds on pity by [[DramaQueen being emotionally clingy and making scenes in public about her personal life]].

* NewMeat: Colin likes going after new coworkers because the job (and Colin himself) has not sucked the life from them yet.
* NotAMorningPerson: Inverted. Colin identifies as a morning person, annoying his roommates being his "cup of coffee".

The bunny is his favorite.
* {{Irony}}: On her first date with Colin, Eviee tells the waiter that she suffers from Munchausen syndrome by proxy as a means of feeding off of him. One of her primary methods of milking pity from her coworkers is by claiming that her non-existent relatives (siblings, parents, grandparents, cat, etc.) have some horrible illness or condition, which is what Munchausen syndrome by proxy is.

* CosmopolitanCouncil: The Statin Island Werewolf Support-Group is composed of an Indian, a Native American, an African-American, a Caribbean-Canadian, a Saskatoonian and [[TokenWhite a Caucasian]].
