* AdaptationalUgliness: Downplayed. Way before he was depicted in a card, ''Literature/TheThran'' described him as a TallDarkAndHandsome man with a wiry build, tanned skin and thick black hair, who would effortlessly catch Rebbec's gaze with his looks alone. His Thran Physician version, while not ugly, shows him as pale and with a cold expression, giving away his insanity much more easily.

He does this by jamming a Powerstone into Dyfed's head when she gets distracted from witnessing the horrors of the Phyrexian's creation, leading to her being disrupted to the point where she's trapped between living and dead.
* DirtyCommunists: According to a citation in ''Literature/TheThran'' the author praises the inspiration for having survived "[[UsefulNotes/JosefStalin a real life Yawgmoth]]", and his take on Phyrexia is noted as being uniform unlike the vibrant and diverse Dominaria. Ironically, some of his nastier traits (like his entitlement towards Rebbec and obsession with eugenicism) have become more and more associated with extreme alt-right and libertarian positions.

Ironically, some of his nastier traits (like his entitlement towards Rebbec and obsession with eugenicism) have become more and more associated with extreme alt-right and libertarian positions. Ultimately, it's safe to assume that a place like Phyrexia is too far removed from human politics, and the comparison never went beyond ''The Thran''.

* EvilIsPetty: Apparently, becoming a machine god with a whole plane to himself wasn't enough for him to stop fuming about Rebbec rejecting him. The whole Invasion is like a cosmic-sized tantrum on his side.

** To the unnamed planeswalker who created the plane that would become Phyrexia. They both are wielders of black mana, although Yawgmoth never became a planeswalker. The plane creator would often assume the shape of a dragon and died at the very core of his creation for unknown (probably natural) causes, while Yawgmoth ends up taking a multitude of forms and dies outside Phyrexia after being targeted by the Legacy weapons. The planeswalker's name is unknown, while Yawgmoth's name is very much famous but rarely spoken outright.
* MysteriousPast: Nothing is known about him before his exile, apart from his profession and him siding with the republican faction during the civil war.
* ThePhilosopher: To him, phyresis isn't just a medical concept but a vision of life as a whole. During ''The Thran'', he sometimes reflects about it with Rebbec, considering that all things are born out of conflict and renewal, including the Empire.

** She emerges as the ultimate leader of New Phyrexia and yet she's the Praetor with the most humanlike figure.
* {{Pride}}: Although at first she seems able to combine it with actual political and military skills, in the end she lets it take over herself, leading to her downfall.
* PurpleIsPowerful: In the sense of purple as the expensive reddish hue that was used for the garments of Roman and later Byzantine emperors. Her sash fits her position as Mother of the Machines pretty well.
* SatanicArchetype: Combined with Demiurge. She's a prideful being associated with light who proves to be a selfish FalseProphet, promises power to those who forsake their own soul and is extremely able when it comes to lies and manipulation. If you consider that Phyrexia drew inspiration from ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'', she also commits the worst sin possible, that is treason (both against her own faction and her own original creator, since she ultimately condemns Yawgmoth's work to oblivion with her own selfishness).
