* AssholeVictim: One [[DomesticAbuse abusive husband]] mistreats Grandmother Beetroot while she's disguised as his wife; she retaliates by [[ImAHumanitarian eating him alive]]. Given how he had been beating his wife and forcing her to do impossible chores before that, it's hard to feel sorry for him.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While she's normally nothing but kind, even towards some {{Jerkass}}es, she does end up killing and eating an abuser when she's pushed too far.
* CoolOldLady: The titular character may look {{creepy|good}}, but is a very nice and kind soul who gives little stick-dolls to children in exchange for beets (her TrademarkFavoriteFood), and will gladly help you out with whatever problems you may have, even if her methods may seem sinister at first (such as giving a man [[EyeScream a tincture that burned his eyes]] to help him see his wife's beauty; only his wife's apron could wipe away the tincture and stop the burning, causing the man to quickly realize that he married a wonderful woman). That said, you should BewareTheNiceOnes, as [[DomesticAbuse one abusive husband]] found out when Granny Beets used her magic to disguise herself as his wife; after one demeaning comment too many, [[ImAHumanitarian he got himself devoured]], [[AssholeVictim though he certainly deserved it]].
* TheDreaded: Grandmother Beetroot is dreaded by abusers. Abuse victims pick up on this and start planting beets in their garden in hopes of attracting her to their place; this usually causes the abuser to quickly clean up their act.
* EyeScream: One man who Grandmother Beetroot helps thinks his wife is ugly, and asks her for help. She gives him a tincture which burns his eyes, claiming that if he used up the whole bottle he would see how beautiful his wife is. The only thing that stopped the burning was his wife wiping away the tincture with her apron; this caused the man to quickly realize that his wife's kindness and devotion are worth much more than external beauty.
* FunnyAnimal: Grandmother Beetroot is a humanoid borzoi, a breed of dog also known as Russian Wolfhound, which is known for its long snout.
* ThirdOptionLoveInterest: One girl comes to Grandmother Beetroot asking for help choosing between two suitors, one handsome and the other rich. The girl is [[{{Animorphism}} turned into a small dog]] and the two suitors are tasked with taking care of it. The suitors both treat the dog like crap before abandoning it to a stable girl, when she kisses the dog, it turns back into a girl, and the two get married.
