Made worse when later [[spoiler: Christina is killed, but is possibly alive, as she screams from in the grave]] even though she was the killer, he didn't know that and he saw her as a daughter.
* KillTheCutie: Several times, but [[spoiler: Letha]] stands out as the most prominent example.
* KissingCousins: Implied in the novel and the show. [[spoiler:Until it's revealed that Roman and Letha are [[BrotherSisterIncest half-siblings]] and that Roman is the father of Letha's baby]].

** Shelley [[spoiler:seems to reference Mary Shelley, since Shelley the child is a Frankenstein's Monster-like resurrection/creation of Olivia's dead daughter.]]
** The last name Rumancek translates to "Chamomile". There's a particular kind of chamomile known as Roman Chamomile. This implies that there's some sort of familial relationship between the Rumancek and Godfrey families. [[spoiler:It's confirmed in the novel that Roman's mother Olivia gave birth to a child that was given to the Rumanceks to raise.]]
** Letha is in Greek mythology, [[spoiler: "The river of forgetfulness, one of the five rivers in Hades." and "A condition of forgetfulness; oblivion."]]
** GOD-frey, just as Norman's wife says, "Godfreys get what they want" when asked how she and Norman got together.

* MercyKill: [[spoiler:Pryce is forced to suffocate Dr. Chasseur after Olivia broke her neck and skinned her alive]].

* MindManipulation: Roman can't read minds, but he can implant suggestions and make people forget recent events.
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Shelley is treated like shit by the kids at school but is as kind as she is quiet.
* MrFanservice: A big audience of the show comes for the eye-candy that [[http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/25100000/Landon-Liboiron-landon-ryan-liboiron-25182831-2560-1918.jpg Landon Liboiron]] and [[http://www.gp.se/image_processor/1.332497.1268746184!/image/2901166507.jpg_gen/derivatives/full/2901166507.jpg?maxWidth=620 Bill Skarsgård]] provide as Peter and Roman, respectively.
* MyBelovedSmother: Olivia's on the completely disturbing end of the scale.
* MysticalPregnancy: Letha. Miranda doesn't get pregnant, but being around baby Nadia causes her to lactate.
* NightmareFetishist: Christina. [[spoiler: She likened the sensation of a transformation arising to an orgasm and turned herself into a werewolf so she could "have experiences."]]
* NippleAndDimed: Hugely averted.
* NoBisexuals: Jury's out with Destiny; she's more than happy to have sex with anyone as long as there's cash involved, but she seemed to really enjoy her time with [[spoiler: Chasseur]]. She gets a new boyfriend in Andre in the second season.
* NoPreggerSex: Averted when [[spoiler: Peter and Letha]] hook up.
* OfCorsetsSexy: Norman once tightened Olivia's corset after a routine hookup.
* OddFriendship: Roman and Peter.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Olivia was a child a ''very'' long time ago.
* OnlySaneMan: Peter.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Peter's grandfather was the [[MagicalSeventhSon seventh son of a seventh son]], meaning Peter is a werewolf [[Analysis/OurWerewolvesAreDifferent through heredity]].
** [[spoiler:Christina became a werewolf by choice and through drinking water from Peter's paw print.]]

* RustproofBlood: Played absurdly straight.
* ScareChord: Used early and often.
* ScarilyCompetentTracker: Chasseur.
* SelfHarm: Roman is shown cutting himself with a razor blade several times. In his case, it probably starts because he likes blood.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: The way Shelley's emails seem. In this case it is unlikely that the character is trying to show off or be perceived as unusually smart, rather she's taking full advantage of the medium of writing to communicate in a way that is normally impossible for her because of her muteness. As such, it's not annoying from a character standpoint, but still comes across as the writers trying too hard to make her seem intelligent and sophisticated.

* TongueTrauma: [[spoiler: Roman bites Olivia's tongue out]]!
* TransformationSequence: Werewolves have extremely gruesome ones.

* TheAlcoholic: Chasseur had been so before and gotten sober, but the stress of the vargulf's attacks had driven her back to her old ways.

* BloodLust: Both Roman and Olivia seems to have this.
* BloodMagic: [[spoiler: The cat's unfortunate fate.]]
* BodyHorror: A large part of Peter's transformation scene.

* BuryYourGays: The very first person to die in the TV series is [[spoiler: a teenage girl who is on her way to a liaison with her female
* CaliforniaDoubling: the novel is set in Pennsylvania, USA. The show is filmed in Ontario, Canada.
* ConspicuousCGI: Transformation scenes and Shelley's eye.
* ConvenientComa: Roman is in one for a few episodes. It also occurs in the novel.
* CoolCar: J.R.'s and later Roman's car.
* CoordinatedClothes: While the Sworn girls don't wear the exact same outfits, they usually have the same theme with color variations.

* {{Foil}}: The Rumanceks and the Godfreys, both mothers and sons.
* FriendlessBackground: Neither Roman nor Peter had friends before they met each other.
* FunctionalAddict: Olivia uses some sort of drug in the form of eye-drops and is fine unless she doesn't have them. Roman smokes, drinks, snorts cocaine, self-mutilates and still manages to make it through the day until he flies off the handle and ends up in a coma.
* GoryDiscretionShot: Most of the deaths happen off screen, or are shot in such a way so that we don't see things.

** [[spoiler:Not only Juliette. When showing the murder of Juliette, it clearly states there were more than one. "Juliette and many like her came, all of them disappointments." There were more babies, and more murders, until she had the child with the caul.]]
** [[spoiler:Even Peter's cat wasn't safe from death. He's forced to kill his pet in order to speak to his dead grandfather for advice on how to kill the vargulf.]]

** [[spoiler: Olivia]] in the second season finale.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: From Christina]] to Chief Tom Sworn, when both [[spoiler: Alexa and Alyssa]] are both mutilated/murdered horribly by the vargulf, considering Chief Tom Sworn was always so kind to the murderer.
