* AbortedArc - There's an entire page on the game wiki devoted to these.
* AdjectiveAnimalAlehouse - The [[AlliterativeName Dancing Destrier]] and the Hanging Corpse come to mind.

Added DiffLines:

* HalfHumanHybrid / NonHumanHumanoidHybrid- Nearly any race can mate with nearly any other... but their offspring will be sterile, preventing [[UnevenHybrid Uneven]] and {{Heinz Hybrid}}s.
* LovableCoward - Pilar, who is basically [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]] in vampire form.


Added DiffLines:

* MedievalEuropeanFantasy - The main setting of Hollow. Granted, there's nothing stopping you from making a character that hails from a FantasyCounterpartCulture of any realm of your choosing. The geography of the planet outside Lithrydel is vague for that very reason.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch / TokenHeroicOrc - You can find drow, vampires, orcs, and other "villainous" races on the side of good.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame
* OurVampiresAreDifferent - They can walk in sunlight and the typical anti-vampire tools like crosses and garlic have no effect. However, dragon's blood has [[PoisonIsAcid poisonous/corrosive properties]] to them.
* OutsideContextProblem - The invading Preklek force, a bunch of [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent reptilian]] aliens who ripped open a portal into Hollow... Twice.
* PettingZooPeople - The Feline race can range from LittleBitBeastly to full-on bipedal panthers, while Fermin are small humanoid rats.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Magocracy}} - The de facto leader of Xalious Village is the Archmage of the Mage's Guild, since that's where it's based, and no one has come along to try and change it (except Josleen, whose attempts were derailed by the summoning of an EldritchAbomination).
