* AnimalisticAbomination: Demonic birds appear early in the comic.
* AnimalMotifs:
** The butcher demon is a pig man, fitting with a mix of his profession and his utterly depraved personality.
** His intended victim, meanwhile, is a sheep demon, a form that denotes innocence and kindness, making her more sympathetic to the audience.



** On a more symbolic level, Alastor, a ''deer'' demon, likes to eat venison, the meat of a ''deer''.
* MonsterFangirl: A group of women from the Cannibal Colony are among the few people who ''don't'' run for the hills when they see Alastor, instead fawning over him when he walks by.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Played with. Alastor torments an ''actual'' waiter for fun early in the comic, but later throws a coin to a saxophonist on the street with no apparent ulterior motive.



* PetTheDog:
** Subverted with Alastor's fangirls in the Cannibal Colony. He greets them politely and asks them to say hello to Rosie for him... then throws one of them his hat to get her friends angry.
** Played straight with the saxophonist, who Alastor gives money with no ulterior motive behind it.
** Played with regarding the sheep demon he saves. He rescues her from being raped due to [[EvenEvilHasStandards being disgusted by such an act]], but the way he does it is so horrifying that the poor demon is left huddled in terror at the sight.



* {{Troll}}: Alastor. One of his first scenes is ordering deviled eggs at a restaurant, then throwing them to some nearby birds and prompting them to attack the waiter. Later, he does smaller examples, such as throwing his hat to one of his cannibal admirers to rile up her friends.
