* CowardlyLion: The two-headed crow warns Sasha about the Citadel's dangers and is terrified of it... but it shows up to help her solve a puzzle that would have otherwise left her trapped, despite this providing no benefit toward it whatsoever.



* CreepyGood: The Stranger is an unsettling cloaked figure with an EyelessFace, coral-like antlers, [[ScaryTeeth sharp teeth]], and utters a [[HellIsThatNoise low groan like a death rattle]] when speaking. However, he is the one to give Sasha her sword and appears whenever she returns home to give her cryptic advice that is meant to steer her toward a better path in facing her grief.
** The two-headed crow is a ToothyBird that doubts Sasha's quest from the beginning and is interested in feeding on her corpse once she inevitably dies. As Sasha preserves ton her journey, the crow softens up to her and gives her tips on how to progress, even directly aiding her in the Citadel later on.



** [[spoiler: The Cryptolith, the hideous demon that slaughtered the mountain village and trapped Sasha's father in crystal.]]
** [[spoiler: The [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragon.]] It has a truly nightmarish design with two mouths stacked on top of each other, eight eyes with one resting inside its mouth, and a set of various powers including the ability to summon ghostly hands to attack.]]

* [[HeWhoFightsMonsters She Who Fights Monsters]]: Taken rather literally, consuming monster parts makes Sasha into one

** This is also heavily implied to be the path that [[spoiler:the Wanderer]] took after [[spoiler:losing her lover]] in order to bury her grief.


Added DiffLines:

* TheWormThatWalks: The Crow Golem, a hulking monstrosity composed of several crows [[spoiler:around a much larger bird as its core]], that Sasha faces as the first boss.


Added DiffLines:

* VacuumMouth: The Cryptolith does this, inhaling its minions periodically from the sidelines in order to heal and take their buffs for itself.

* DeathOfAChild: [[spoiler:Sasha's little brother is dead before she can reach him. And judging by the... coral-like things going in and out of his body, he didn't meet a pleasant end.]]

*BigBad: [[spoiler:The dragon seems to be this as it seems to be the master of the world.]]



* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler:Sasha's severed arm. It looks like a tie-dye in perpetual motion, provides a serious buff to Sasha's attacks, and can overpower her if she overuses the boost. The final boss can induce that last part, forcing Sasha to cut it off, at which point the boss eats it and mutates into its final form.]]

* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler:Sasha's EldritchAbomination:
** Suffice to say the strange world Sasha and her family winds up in is populated by such creatures. Each enemy is more bizarre or nightmarish than the last in terms of design and this especially goes for the bosses:
** The crow leader which has three eyes and whose minions have mouths for heads and combine to form an imposing golem
