* CatsAreMean: Averted with the snake cats, who are among the very few friendly creatures in the game.



* KilledOffForReal: All of the monsters in the game; they will never respawn after being defeated.



* OurMonstersAreWeird: As was the case in ''Middens'', just about every creature encountered in the game. Trying to actually describe most of the monsters will probably just give you a migraine.
