* DidntThinkThisThrough: His strategy of stagnating the game to hold off the End Times crisis events in ''Space Game Pains'' was doomed on multiple levels. First of all because Boy had already used Jump Drive tech which is one of the triggers, second because the game is set up so the BugWar crisis fires by default if the others aren't triggered instead of having a trigger of it's own. By depressing everyone's economies all he did was make them less able to deal with it.

* StatusQuoIsGod: Actively enforces this in the ''Stellaris'' special, where he keeps the galaxy stagnant to prevent any player from getting to a point to trigger the [[FinalBoss endgame crisis]]. Also delivers an [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall almost fourth-wall breaking speech]] on why it is better to do this and keep the setting open for many potential stories rather than risk advancing (and eventually end) it.

* FauxAffablyEvil: In Special 7, he speaks with superficial politeness, but when he gets called out on his actions, he begins raving. Later, after Crises wrecked his species, and Eldad calls him out, he speaks venomously.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: The Swarmlord at Macragge had only a single appearance in the series proper defeating Marneus Calgar in a throwaway gag. BEHEMOTH reveal that led Calgar to do whatever made the Ultramarines the ParodySue-level {{Comically Invincible Hero}}es they are at present, enabling the abduction and redemption of Magnus the Red and thus the Emperors plan to reform the Imperium that is the driving force of the series.

* BigBad: Of Special 7.

-->Salutations, other species! I am known as "the Trustworthy", AKA "the Reliable", AKA "the Undecieving", AKA "the Very Nice Creature That Wants To Trade With you"!

* GoKartingWithBowser: According to Tzeentch, he plays children's card games with Tzeentch, the Laughing God, and the Emperor regularly.

* KnightOfCerebus: The BEHEMOTH spinoff is DarkerAndEdgier thanks to them being it's {{Big Bad}}s.

* ItCanThink: Invokes this on other Tyrandis by its presence, who go from mindless beasts to capable of tactics like [[FakingTheDead faking death]]. The Swarmlord also proves smart enough to use StraightForTheCommander and FlawExploration (singling out Calgar knowing [[HonorBeforeReason he's too prideful to deny fighting it one-on-one rather than use all available forces to kill it]]).
