* HornyDevils:
** The Inchoroi, the genocidal alien invaders who describe themselves as "the race of lovers".
** The Sranc are a horrifying subversion of this trope. They have the libido for it, but their appearance is extremely disturbing (hairless dog-like bodies with the extremely beautiful, bone-white faces of Nonmen), and "rape" is far too mild to describe what they'll do to you.

** Played straight: Kellhus learns the Gnosis, a school of magic based on logic, and promptly becomes [[TheOmnipotent even more godlike]] than he [[MessianicArchetype already was]]. Granted, the Gnosis is already regarded as being very powerful InUniverse, but Kellhus takes it [[UpToEleven Up To]] [[BeyondTheImpossible Fourteen]].[[note]]As his first great use of the Gnosis allows him to expand on a 'telephone' style spell to create a teleportation spell.[[/note]]

Added DiffLines:

* UncannyValley: Cleric. Like all Nonmen, he is tall and superhumanly beautiful, with marble-white skin. But there's something very "off" about him, which all characters note. His teeth are fused, his face has the same features as a Sranc, and his voice has the "tones of a deformed child woven into it."

cut trope


* MoralDissonance: Kellhus commits multiple atrocities for "the greater good", such as [[spoiler:sacrificing Serwë's life]] and [[spoiler:ordering the massacre of twenty thousand Kianene civilians]], not to mention his early betrayal of [[spoiler:Leweth]], who saved his life.
