* FlawedPrototype: Not everything the Designers work are viable especially when the team get caught up in their own particular biases such as Saturn and his unicorn or Pluto and her mandragora. These animals wouldn't survive on Earth but they do get retained in Heaven which isn't so subject to physicsl law. Even viable animals may get tweaked at a later date which leads to new subspecies. Finally one recurring flawed prototype is an alcoholic teddy bear that the team kept around as it could be used as a base for several other animal ideas.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: The biggest reason the Designers aren't considered to be all that human is they've been known to pull out various powers. While creating an animal usually requires a sketchpad, the Designers can often alter an animal with a thought or gesture such as Pluto making a shrimp so large it crushed her under foot. The Designers have often done shape changing on themselves and some have even showed superhuman strength (Neptune once knocked a falling boulder away by kicking it in midair). That said, due to RuleOfFunny, the Designers often get their asses kicked when they have to subdue a loose animal.

* PandaingToTheAudience: In chapter 14/episode 4, Neptune creates the giant panda, which is instantly approved by God. However, the panda's design is accidentally mixed up with a starfish (or the rejected xenomorph design, in the Manga), turning it brainless and making it act like a zombie, along with having a bunch of tiny bouncing panda-balls be formed from its easily plucked fur.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: The various designers in the Heavenly Creative Agency, alongside all of their relatives, are quite obviously not angels, but the fact they work and live in Heaven strongly implies they aren't human either, even though biologically they're pretty similar.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: The various designers in the Heavenly Creative Agency, alongside all of their relatives, are quite obviously not angels, but the fact they work and live in Heaven strongly implies they aren't human either, even though biologically they're pretty similar. In Volume 2 of the US edition, in the aftermath of the Horseshoe Bat arc, the Designers actually get categorized as Animal 29 and designer is described as a general term for the creatures (they're not referred to as humans) that work in the field of design. The main attribute of a designer is how they're subject to mediocre client requests, so many of their results are disappointments.

* AnythingThatMoves: A (possibly) non-sexual variation. Yo and Ko, the twins from the Plant Department need a "fresh face" to inspire them and requests someone from the Animal Department to transfer to theirs. They do this by seducing everyone, calling them "princesses" (even the guys) and spouting cheesy one-liners to flirt with them. They later remark that they consider "anything that moves on its own" to be an animal and are unable to distinguish between the various types, and they end up taking the degenerate teddy bear that Mercury and Jupiter made in the previous chapter to create a "worthless animal" from.

* DivineDelegation: God ''was'' going to make all the animals, but got lazy and decided to outsource the work to the main cast. Later chapters show that there are separate teams that design plants as well, but we rarely see them. Hell is also developed independently, though it seems more like a theme park than a place of torment.

* MixAndMatchCritters: Alluded in chapter 51 when Jupiter and Mercury gets an order to create a chimera, or "an animal that has unique traits from other species". They use a slot machine to get random animal combinations, and got: a griffin with a duck head instead of an eagle, a shark-koi combination (which is basically just a shark that's [[HungryMenace always hungry]] because it has no stomach), and a sea lion-camel-mole hybrid, which are all considered duds. After tinkering too much with the machine, the designer duo eventually combines the three chimeras they have to create the platypus.
