* DreamLand: The Dreamtime.
* EmotionEater:
** Skinwalkers sustain themselves on the terror their actions produce.
* EvilIsBurningHot:
** In the nightmarish lairs of skinwalkers, there is a blazing, blood red bonfire that is impossible to extinguish without suffocating it with dirt outside the lair. This bonfire is also how skinwalkers can enter the material plane.
* EvilTaintedPlace:
** Wherever a skinwalker takes residence in the physical plane, the nearby area becomes uncanny and hostile-feeling.
* ExploringTheEvilLair:
** A human should never go into a skinwalker's lair without the proper equipment and people lest they want to become prey.
* FantasticNoir

* MagicalLand
* MarkedToDie:
** Even if somebody did escape a near-lethal encounter with a skinwalker, they are still marked with a spiritual taint that allows the skinwalker to easily find them through the Dreamtime next time. In short, those attacked by skinwalkers usually end up living on borrowed time.
* MushroomMan: Sprigs can be made of mushrooms

* OurMonstersAreDifferent:
** OurAngelsAreDifferent: Most of an angel’s body is made from inorganic materials except for their wings, which are formed from the energy of their soul.
** OurDemonsAreDifferent:
*** Qarinah can drain a person’s mana through physical touch or intimate acts, fitting seeing as their servants to Lilith the demon prince of lust.
*** [[AsianFoxSpirit Kitsune]] are different enough that they're not considered demons in the setting, and are actually a strain of [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolves]]
*** Lilitus are OtherwordlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous demons that embody domination.
** OurDragonsAreDifferent: While not fully fleshed out yet, the author has said they're a neutral force that maintains the mortal world.
** OurElvesAreDifferent: Dokkalfar are a race of elves that have historically had close ties to humans. It’s also easier for them to tell lies compared to other elves.
** OurGhostsAreDifferent: Ghosts are unaware of their surroundings, unless they absorb energy such as electricity or mana.
*** If a ghost and a shade (see OurSpiritsAreDifferent below) fuse together, they become an Ankou.
** OurSpiritsAreDifferent: Shades are specters that are born from and embody negative emotions.
** OurZombiesAreDifferent: Gravewalkers are the products of several shades inhabiting a corpse.

* PrimalFear:
** Judging by their many monstrous traits and behaviors like lurking in dark places, stalking humans, sometimes replacing them, and having animalistic teeth and claws, skinwalkers seem to have all the hallmarks of being based on the worst primeval fears.
