* YouDontLookLikeYou: Some monster designs are modeled closely around the film versions, while others take far more artistic license: Countess Zaleska looks completely different to her actress Gloria Holden, while the Man Made Monster is much more evil-looking than the unfortunate schmuck played by Lon Chaney Jr. In some cases, the original designs are available as unlockable costumes.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In their source material, Gwynplaine and the Mole Men were tragic characters. The Mole Men were abused, forcibly mutated, and enslaved, making their anger understandable. Gwynplaine is a completely good character who is one of the most noble characters in his story despite his grotesque appearance. Their bios play them up as more monstrous - Gwynplaine is implied to be murderous while the Mole People's backstory as slaves isn't mentioned.
