* AlienHair: A Fobott'r has a crest of similar shape and consistency to a human mohawk, but it's really a collection of symbiotes that help regulate temperature and the chemical balance of the blood and nervous system.

* DelusionsOfLocalGrandeur: Frank Hannibal from the Credomar [[SpaceStation space habitat]] is the anchor chief of the station's news network, and as such has an overinflated ego, naturally expects to need no introduction and thinks himself the voice of the people. Mostly he just goes out of his way to insult and then [[HeroWithBadPublicity demonize the Toughs in the news]] [[EvilIsPetty after they don't give him the respect he thinks he's due]], making their job to distribute food and other necessities more difficult than it already was. [[AIIsACrapshoot LOTA]] is quick to put him in his place after [[ThirdPersonPerson LOTA]] takes over as King of Credomar.

* ExtremelyColdCase: Bunni discovers that one of her patients, an immortal with brain damage, had his brain modified by his enemies in order to suppress his ProudWarriorRace nature that rendered him incapable of living peacefully under any circumstances. While bringing his memories (but not the violent programming) back, she notes that this is like resuscitating a murder victim, and wonders if the murderers should be prosecuted. Petey points out that it happened ''eleven million years ago''. Yes, all the murderers are still alive, but the axe has been buried, the hole subducted, and half the continent became magma.

* AntiVillain: On the flip side, the Toughs do some nasty stuff regardless of paranoia, but we cheer for them anyway, because the current bad guys are usually nastier and deserve the pwning that's headed their way.
