** [[spoiler:This is subverted when you first meet Sven in the settlement in Chapter 3, when he locks you into his house and forces you to do an ancient trial, which failing will result in death. The trial involves you choosing which straw doll is made my a true master of his craft. It is then revealed that this was only a joke by Sven, as he just wanted you ask you which of the straw dolls was prettier]].

!!''Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard'' provides examples of:
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Invoked by Finn when he asks Gwen for information.
-->'''Finn:''' Gwen, listen. Machines invade the land, animals have disappeared, my family has been taken somewhere, AND my clubmoss sandwich fell on its coated side today. So I would REALLY appreciate any little bit of information.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: The magpies really, really like shiny things. Showing one of the magpie guards [[spoiler:a pearl]] will cause him to drop whatever he's doing and fly over to Finn, allowing him to get [[spoiler:the announcer's horn]].
* FantasticRacism: Velehill's wolf population has been forcibly confined to the "wolf district", where they've been forced to remain for centuries by the nation's various kings. They're also the scapegoats for the latest string of disappearances and chaos. Most of the local townsfolk admit they've never actually ''met'' a wolf, but they still believe the nasty stories about them that they heard from their ancestors.
* HonestJohnsDealership: The ferret in town, who tries to sell Finn some (fairly useful) junk. He goes as far as to try to sell Finn a tissue when he mentions his family's missing.
* TooDumbToLive: Finn can be killed by [[spoiler:the robot in the Mole Mines]] if he makes multiple attempts to approach it, ''after'' being given several dialogue prompts to back out of it.
* WorldOfFunnyAnimals: The kingdom of Velehill is entirely populated by a variety of anthropomorphic animals. They come in a variety of shapes: while most mammals are bipedal and act mostly like humans, birds are much closer to their real-life counterparts, and sheep are still quadrupedal.
