!!Monstrous contains examples of:

* CallARabbitASmeerp: Humans live in herds and children are younglings. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] somewhat because the story isn't being told by a human, but by something that hunts humans, so he has a little bit of a different view of them
* CurbStompBattle: Suel versus the humans. [[{{Main/Understatement}} The humans don't do very well]]
* EmotionEater: Suel feeds on fear and can sense how strong the various emotions are in those around him
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Suel does not approve of deliberately withholding food from a youngling that's obviously starving
* TemptingFate: [[TheNameless The Boisterous Male]] brags about how he'd like to give Suel a taste of his spear [[spoiler: just before Suel decides to attack him, break his spear in half and destroy his mind]]
