* AlwaysChaoticEvil: The Mangaboos are highly xenophobic and willing to execute outsiders for petty reasons. In Chapter 6, Dorothy states she doesn't like them, the Wizard then mentions they're cold-blooded, and Zeb says [[TheHeartless they have no hearts]], and thus, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood cannot feel love]].
