* MoralityPet: Lizardman is easily one of the more well adjusted characters (or at least down to earth) characters at Slackwyrm Keep, and easily the one Ferragus seems to care the most about. When Lizardman was almost killed by a demon, Ferragus response was to ''punch a hole through the demon's chest''. The fact that Lizardman is the keep's head chef [[ThroughHisStomach might have something to do with it]].

* AfterTheEnd: According to the official site, the comic takes place in a "dystopian fantasy future, many thousands of years from now on an earth not unlike our own." Modern tech and the like can still be found throughout the land (Ferragus has a smartphone he refers to as a "magic mirror", and Lizardman has his own fighter jet), but has largely been usurped by magic. What exactly caused the regression and raise of magic has remained unexplained.

* HatesEveryoneEqually: Ferragus just does not like humans in general, regardless of race, gender, orientation or whatever factors. There are only a ''very'' few humans he tolerates being around, and even then it's clear his patience for them is rather short. Subverted when it comes to most non-human races, which Ferragus is more okay with being around, and he seems to have a soft spot for animals, especially if they've been wronged by humans.

** While the comic is no stranger to [[BlackComedy crass humor]], the earliest comics were ''especially'' so. Sex jokes were a lot more frequent, and the humor could reach downright ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' levels. While the comic still has a fair bit of dark jokes later on, these would be greatly toned down by comparison.
** Ferragus was surprisingly a ''lot'' more active in the early parts of the comic despite the name sake of the comic, with his laziness largely boiling down to wanting to sleep unless he's actively getting paid or rewarded in some way to do a job. Later in the comic he wouldn't even do such things even if he was being rewarded.
** His relationship with his sister Gretch was far more civil, with Gretch even offering Ferragus life advice and willing to loan him (if begrudgingly) some of her horde if he really needed it. Quite the far cry from later on in the comic where she would downright despise her brother and make multiple attempts on his life.
