Glandus High
In General
- Academy of Evil: Yeah, the school definitely has a lot of villains running around.
- Apathetic Teacher: An even worse case than Hexside's teaching staff started out as, since none of the teachers give a damn about their students' well-being.
- Ascended Extra: The school as a whole (not just Bria, Gavin, Angmar and Prof. Blanc, but rather everyone connected to it) plays a much more active role in antagonizing their rival school.
- Ax-Crazy: Emily, Nina and Tito can become emotionally volatile under certain circumstances; Emily and Tito when they give into their anger and Nina when in her beast form.
- Big Bad Ensemble: The students become a much more major villainous force in Book 2. Actually, the students have been a threat since the very beginning, many of them being involved in the muggings-turned-kidnappings and actively targeting Luz, which led to her fighting them herself with ease. It gets to the point that their strongest student, Emily Tricks, declares war on Hexside as revenge for conquering them in the past and building their school over Glandus' remains.
- Co-Dragons: The Top Students all work as such, reporting to Emily who works with McScream and The Boss to accomplish their goals.
- Evil Teacher: Glandus is apparently full of these. If you'll look down below...
- Fate Worse than Death: Instead of being killed during the school war or arrested by the Emperor's Coven when it ends like Cooker, all of Glandus' teachers are turned into paintings by Ms. Traveler.
- Named by the Adaptation: The principal of the school who McScream replaced that appeared in "Eda's Requiem" was known as "Principal Acne".
- Sadist Teacher: One example of this and the previously mentioned Evil Teacher trope is the school's coach physically abusing his students. Another is a teacher engaging in knife fights with a student.
- The Social Darwinist: The school maintains its canon "survival of the fittest/strong rules over weak" mindset that's based off the Emperor's Coven, and students work hard to assert dominance.
- Sucky School: The principal is a sadist who records the suffering of his students, teachers and students getting into knife fights isn't treated as out of the ordinary, expelled students are literally fired out of a cannon, the teachers are allowed to physically abuse their students because they are given "special disciplinary privileges", and the strong are encouraged to bully those weaker than them.
- Teens Are Monsters: With how these kids act? Yeah, no contest.
- Terrible Trio: The Juniors, consisting of Nina, Tito and Cain, are the top 3 students of their year and in each of their tracks and have proven to be massive threats.
Staff
Principal McScream
Principal Mephistopholes McScream
The latest principal of Glandus High and a former actor hoping to take advantage of his new position to make a comeback.- Evil Principal: McScream easily embodies this given his personality, his motives, the fact that he's wotking for the Tarot Guild.

- Killed Offscreen: The Boss has Lupe kill him and dispose his body in the Boiling Sea between "What is it Good For?" and "After the War".

- Narcissist: We are talking about a Chris McLean parody: naturally, he tends to put himself first.
- Obviously Evil: Principal McScream has red skin, black horns, and he is named after the demon Mephisto. He's not hard to figure out.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Principal McScream clearly has a high opinion of himself, but hardly anyone has ever even heard of him, much to his irritation.
- Tyrant Takes the Helm: He replaced Principal Acne in the position, not revealing what happened to him.
