History Literature / MythAdventures

* UnicornsPreferVirgins: In ''Another Fine Myth'', Skeeve is the only one in the group that does not elicit a negative reaction from a unicorn, which gets him some teasing. This point is brought back in ''Sweet Myth-tery Of Life'', where Buttercup the unicorn acts unsociable towards [[spoiler:Skeeve after he blacks out drunk on a date with a [[AnythingThatMoves vampire]]]].

* BareYourMidriff: Massha is determined to prove that one doesn't need a slim waist to bare one's midriff. The other characters (privately) disagree.
** Luanna's bare-midriff outfit in ''Myth-ing Persons''. Spyder's goth/biker/school-uniform look in "Myth-Adventurers".

* MeaningfulName: Most races' names (Klahd, Jahk, Trollop, Wuhs) qualify as this, directly or by way of IncrediblyLamePun.
** The personal names of Ghords in ''Myth-Fortunes'' are Meaningful Incredibly Lame Puns, like "Lol-Kit" for a young female obsessed with glyphing (= social media) or "Thoth-Ful" for a wise man.

* DeathGlare: Skeeve delivers a frighteningly intense one to everyone present when [[spoiler: Gleep is shot]] in ''Something M.Y.T.H. Inc.''

* InterspeciesRomance: All over the place:Tanda and Aahz had a thing going (and technically the human men she's with periodically too; she's a Trollop, remember), Guido has the hots for Pookie, various Deveels leer at Bunny, etc, etc, etc. No one seems to take any issue with it.

* {{Ley Line}}s: These are necessary for the casting of any magic whatsoever. Become major plot points in ''Another Fine Myth'' (when Aahz and Skeeve find Isstvan by tracing one), ''Myth-ing Persons'' (when Limbo's weak lines hamper Skeeve's power), ''Myth-ion Improbable'' (in which blocking one is necessary to disrupt a major spell), and ''Myth-Fits'' (in which Winslow's lines are depleted and Maire's are dangerously-overpowered).

* DemonDevilDistinction: "Demon" is a contraction of "dimension traveler", and refers to any being who travels to other dimensions. Deveels, a true species of beings, are a red-skinned, goat-legged Proud Merchant Race, whose travels mean that they're usually demons as well.
Imps come from a dimension adjacent to the deveel home dimension and resemble them, save for their lighter skin and extreme gullibility that hampers their attempts to imitate their mercantile cousins.

* DemomnDevilDistinction: "Demon" is a contraction of "dimension traveler", and refers to any being who travels to other dimensions. Deveels, a true species of beings, are a red-skinned, goat-legged Proud Merchant Race, whose travels mean that they're usually demons as well.

* AlienLunch: Although Pervects can eat most foods, their own cuisine is so disgusting to other species that the Pervect Ten threaten to feed some to the Wuhses as an interrogation technique. The fact that many of the ingredients are ''alive and crawling'' when served only compounds the nauseating effect of a Pervish meal's stench.
** Inverted with the Pervect girls in ''Class Dis-Mythed'', who are completely grossed out at the prospect of eating Klahdish food ''because'' it's dead.

* BlandNameProduct: The Golden Crescent Inn in the Bazaar at Deva is just [=McDonald's=], although it gets used like a fantasy tavern to discuss information and recruit adventurers. Despite being essentially in Hell, there's nothing unusual about it, but nobody likes the food, not even franchise owner Gus.

** Fans picked up the madness and ran with it. You can find TabletopGame/HoylesRulesOfDragonPoker on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

* EverythingsBetterWithCows: Inverted in ''Myth-Ion Improbable'', in which [[spoiler: the cows are vampires]]. In ''Class Dis-Mythed'', one of the Pervect girls adopts a cow disguise when told to look like one of the locals.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Guido and Nunzio, who come to work for Skeeve as part of his new partnership with the Mob.

* GeniusBruiser: Chumley is a rather highly educated troll, but goes by the workname of Big Crunch, mainly because most available jobs require dumb muscle instead of smart muscle.
** Guido and Nunzio also count, but not quite as much. See BigGuy above.

** Not entirely. The Djinni explains to Skeeve [[spoiler: (but only AFTER he had already technically fulfilled his contractual obligation and was about to leave at Skeeve's insistance) that he had been deliberately underselling his abilities so that Skeeve would be more impressed when he finally DID perform his single service.]] He gives Skeeve a Self Reliance {{Aesop}} Speech before leaving.

* ShownTheirWork: Asprin dealt with writer's block by doing research. On the negative side, this sometimes led to the {{Author Filibuster}}s mentioned above.
