** There's also some examination of the HeroicNeutral trope. While Dregs doesn't go out of his way to harm anyone ([[CopHater besides police officers]]) [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold and is far from an outright terrible person]], his unwillingness to have a stronger stance on the City's current social climate or most subject matters makes him come across as rather flippant to the citizens' issues & the world around him, which isn't helped by the fact that [[PoorCommunicationKills he also has problems expressing or explaining himself]]. At the end of Season 1, [[spoiler: Flippers has him kill the AB-decoy of the City's president [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom without alerting him beforehand]], partially due to thinking Dregs wasn't his own person and could be easily manipulated.]]

* HumansAreBastards/HumansAreMorons: Though the individual reasons are varied, this is overall why the majority of monsters decide to move to Bestiary. [[spoiler: And we later find out [[GreatOffscreenWar they didn't have much of a choice]].]]

* AmbiguousSituation: It's established relatively early on that a "curse" or "disease" is spreading around, inflicting a strange ailment for over 24 hours, giving them an ability if they survive the ordeal. However, some characters (i.e. Klydus, the Bonehead family, the Chefs) seemingly have these abilities long before the current setting. Even more complicated is that [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Sartori]] seems to have ''multiple''.

** As a combination of his own [[AntiHero flaws]], [[AmnesiacHero condition]], and the [[CrapsaccharineWorld environment around him]], Zyguss/"Mr. Dregs" hardly acts as a superhero. Though not to the point where he's a relentless villain, he'd rather just keep to himself. He very capable, but doesn't feel like he realistically could (or ''should'') resolve every situation, especially with how [[HatedByAll most monsters currently feel about him]]. As such, much of what he does is centered around his own self-interest, and is even okay with working with shady people for the sake of preservation.
