* SecretMessageWink: Jakob, raven pet of the witch Tyrannia, keeps winking at Maurizio, cat pet of the wizard Bubonic, to clue Maurizio in on the fact that both are sent from the Council of Animals and were told to keep an eye on their masters. Of course it goes straight over Maurizio's head, who is flummoxed as to why the strange bird is trying to act all chummy. Bubonic, though, is the one who asks what is wrong with Jacob, and not Maurizio.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The two villains lave each other with sickeningly sweet compliments that they both know are lies as they each wait for the chance to take the other out. In contrast, the good guys don't hide their mutual hatred and viciously assault each other almost immediately. This actually works out to their advantage, as it gets them both apologetic and ashamed enough to give working together a shit.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Tyrannia Vampirella, the second villain, is described as a Money Witch. Apparently, "unlike the witches of old", having this kind of power includes an immunity to fire. She also invoked this trope to get Beelzebub through college, by bribing the administrators.
