* InterspeciesFriendship: Moza (human) and Pogoshi (Captain), for one. The latter is also implied to be friends with the also-human Iani. In general, the three non-Paucadian humanoid species seem to coexist quite amicably.



* RubberForeheadAliens: Of the four humanoid species depicted in the comic, three of them are remarkably similar to humans, namely: humans, proper; the Captains, who have large, wrinkly heads; and the Abadai, whose main difference is being very small. [[StarfishAliens Paucadians]], on the other hand...



* StarfishLanguage: Paucadian is an in-universe example. Iani suggests that it is fundamentally impossible to translate.

Added DiffLines:

* GrumpyOldMan: Downplayed with Iani. Though he is cranky (in Pogoshi's words, "curmudgeonly"), this stems moreso from his genuine passion for philosophy and literature rather than any standard "bitter old man" tendencies.
