* ReptilianConspiracy: Essentially used as a scapegoat by the government Kendarr represents, with any problems blamed on the aliens (that is, [[HumansThroughAlienEyes humans]] rather than the government). The aliens even have scaly skin and lizard-like eyes to emphasize this.

* AffectionateParody: Of ''Series/TheXFiles''
* Expy: Unsurprisingly, Durkani, Lyssa, and Kendarr are expies of Mulder, Scully, and the Cigarette-Smoking Man
* ReptilianConspiracy: Essentially used as a scapegoat by the government Kendarr represents, with any problems blamed on the aliens (that is, [[HumansThroughAlienEyes humans]] rather than the government. The aliens even have scaly skin and lizard-like eyes to emphasize this.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Kendarr claims that his species is inclined towards suspicion and scapegoating, and that even relatively minor failures in government have a tendency to result in civil wars. The fake conspiracy about humans secretly manipulating the government was intended to direct people's paranoia towards an outside entity, and according to him, after it was started about two hundred years ago there hasn't been a single war. [[UnreliableNarrator How reliable he is]] [[DownplayedTrope is unclear though]].
