** Zona's joke about cooking a dinosaur (which she had just killed for attacking Mentl and herself) because it TastesLikeChicken anyway is HilariousInHindsight since, as modern science postulates, birds are the actual living descendants of dinosaurs...

* MisplacedWildlife: The otherworldly setting has a lot of standard animals like cats and horses... and then, some critters clearly resembling the fauna of prehistoric Earth (from dinosaur-like reptiles - including a T-Rex like thing called "Gontharg" - to a creature appearing very much like a well-known Permian synapsid [[UsefulNotes/StockDinosaursNonDinosaurs Dimetrodon]]). However, per the WordOfGod found in a comment [[https://barbarianprincess.com/comic/light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel-page-1031/ here]], the "misplacement" was justified, as these are the remnants of experiments by ancient Erogenian wizards who created these animals, revived them from fossils or brought them over from other dimensions. Most of them died out after the fall of that civilization (Shuach-worshipping, need we add). A few survived and sort of became invasive species that adapted and out-competed the local species in their niche.

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: The Big Bad's {{Mook}}s are a race of AlwaysChaoticEvil LizardFolk called the Urtt. In a bit of ArtisticLicenseBiology though, they can crossbreed with humans (better not to think that this is likely, more often than not, a result of rape), even though such children more often than not end up stillborn. Given the backstory of Urtts as the creations of ancient Erogenians, their reptilian-ness might be only outward, after all.

In a bit of ArtisticLicenseBiology though, they can crossbreed with humans (better not to think that this is likely, more often than not, almost always a result of rape), even though such children more often than not end up stillborn.

Urtts are also shown to have [[DomesticatedDinosaurs dinosaur sidekicks]] (see MisplacedWildlife above), using them as attack beasts.



* WorldOfMuscleMen / WorldOfBuxom: At least the Erogenians are. It is explained in-universe by [[spoiler: Kor Lachnis, Shuach's priest surviving from ancient times]], that the ancestors of Erogenians have engaged in genetic engineering that resulted not only in the creation of Urtts, ogres and other creatures, but also in the "improvement of their own seed", making them stronger, longer living, resistant to disease... and yes, their women being consistently beautiful (and in most cases, also very capable of fighting).
