* AdaptationNameChange: In lieu of their canon names being unrevealed as of the project's creation, the Weather Duo go by Partley and Cloudi here.



* ArtShift: Camellia invokes this with some of her attacks, which are Photoshop-mashed images that each represent different core memories Kris recorded with her while growing up.



* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Downplayed with W.D. Gaster. He genuinely means well in his experiments and interactions with the world, but as a foreigner to the world both existentially and locally, his means to said ends often take unorthodox or genuinely harmful forms.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Gonner. Compared even to other evil characters like Tenna and King, he's a heartless monster who only really lives to cause misery for other people and eat them up when he gets bored of them.



* PlayingCardMotifs: Since King and Lancer have Spades for eyes, and Queen's visor is somewhat Heart-shaped, the rulers of Chapters 3 and 5 continue the trend. Ann and Tenna both have angular shadows over their eyes to represent the Diamond suit, and Minister, Londe, and Dirk are all three-eyed to represent the Club suit (albeit Dirk's hasn't grown in yet).

VC!Deltarune, or Deltarune Alternate Chapters, is a fangame that is being developed by Vision Crew, attempting to make a set of alternate chapters for the game based on predictions from Chapters 1 and 2. Originally started as a relatively small-scale Soundcloud page taking after the Spamton Sweepstakes' Chapter 3 teases, its creator, R.V Pine, eventually developed it into a fully-fledged alternate take of what a full Deltarune might look like.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Downplayed with W.D. Gaster. He genuinely means well in his experiments and interactions with the world, but as a foreigner to the world both existentially and locally, his means to said ends often take unorthodox or genuinely harmful forms.



* CanonCharacterAllAlong:
** Camellia is the Darkner of Toriel's handheld camcorder that, in {{VideoGame/Undertale}}'s world, was used to create the family VHS tapes in the True Lab.
** Likewise, Hex is a full expansion of the unused "Redacted" NPC from the same game, with the original sprite's long white body being interpreted as a mass of hair-like tendrils.
* ChessMotifs: Expanded on from Deltarune itself, much like the PlayingCardMotifs.
** Tenna and Ann are the two Rooks.
** Minister and Dirk are the two Bishops.
** The Chasers are the eight Pawns.
** The Roaring Knight is still the Knight, but they're not the only one - the Holy Knight makes himself known in Chapter 5, accounting for there being two Knights in a set of chess pieces.



* EldritchAbomination:
** Downplayed with the Minister - he's capable of exaggerating his appearance and altering the environment around him, but he isn't as powerful as he was in his prime.
** Played fully straight with his pet Hycrisik, a distant blood relatives of the Titans themselves. It getting its hands on a Lightner's SOUL is powerful enough to bring about a "stony prison" akin to the Roaring, and its boss form's appearance is often depicted as a monstrous, multi-armed version of Asriel's God of Hyperdeath form from Undertale.
** The Chasers, abstract Darkners that embody vaguer concepts such as trauma and nightmares as opposed to singular objects.
** The FRIEND, a shape-shifting creature foreign to Deltarune's world that somehow corrupts anything it gets near.
** The Titans as a whole count as this, but special mention goes to Rosage, the Darkner embodiment of the Grand Fountain that fuels Castle Town's existence.
* EvilAllAlong: Tenna acts hospitable to Kris and co. when they first enter the Homeworld, but eventually he reveals his true colors as a manipulator who's cheated his way to the top and screwed everyone else over for his own gain.



* PlayingCardMotifs: Since King and Lancer have Spades for eyes, and Queen's visor is somewhat Heart-shaped, the rulers of Chapters 3 and 5 continue the trend. Ann and Tenna both have triangular shadows over their eyes to represent the Diamond suit, and Minister, Londe, and Dirk are all three-eyed to represent the Club suit (albiet Dirk's hasn't grown in yet).

to:

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Chapter 6, which breaks up the pre-existing party and chapter progression entirely in favor of a SurvivalHorror-based journey through the Bunker with Dess Holiday and a previously-created Vessel for the SOUL.
* TheGhost: Downplayed with Mike. In the main story to Chapter 3, most mentions of him are in the context of his former role as the leader of the Homeworld, and what happened after Tenna showed up and ran him out - if you do Camellia's superboss quest, however, he comes out of hiding to help with pacifying her and joins Castle Town after the fact.
* GoodAngelBadAngel: Crucibel and Rithix, a Chapter 5 DualBoss modelled after this concept.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Mantlekeeper's alias of "Phantasia" is considered this in-universe, with narration groaning that it's just her making a reference to the movie {{WesternAnimation/Fantasia}}.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Ralsei and Rosage, with the implication being that Ralsei himself is a Titan like his father.
* TheMafia: Alley Tom and his Shadowmen, who Tenna bribed into forcing his competition out.
* PlagueDoctor: Eska is a Darkner of the stereotypical beaked mask often worn by plague doctors, though her role in the story itself is more akin to that of a warrior opposing the Minister.
* PlayingCardMotifs: Since King and Lancer have Spades for eyes, and Queen's visor is somewhat Heart-shaped, the rulers of Chapters 3 and 5 continue the trend. Ann and Tenna both have triangular angular shadows over their eyes to represent the Diamond suit, and Minister, Londe, and Dirk are all three-eyed to represent the Club suit (albiet (albeit Dirk's hasn't grown in yet).



** Chapter 5 is unique in that it has TWO superbosses in a singular quest - Mantlekeeper, and Hycrisik.

* SinisterMinster: The Minister, natch.
