Tropes:

  • Anything but That!: When Courtney reveals to Pugsley that he acquired Temeluchus' ability to cast spells in addition to speaking and walking, he begins to say "Abracadabra", only to be stopped by Courtney citing this trope. Apparently it would leave impossible-to-remove stains.
  • Art Shift: When Norma confronts her fears, the art style changes to softer and more distorted images.
  • Emotion Eater: Harm Many feeds on people's fear, making them live out their worst fears in order to do so.
  • Fun with Homophones: It turns out that Harmony's name is actually Harm Many.
  • Sensory Overload: While everyone else seems to enjoy the exercises, Norma is shown to quickly get overwhelmed due to her hypersensitivity to outside stimuli, much to her embarrassment. This makes her a primary target for Harm-Many. In the end, however, Harm-Many is defeated because it turns out that Norma has so much anxiety inside her that Harm-Many explodes trying to consume it.
  • Shout-Out:
  • Too Spicy For Yog Sogoth: Norma's fears are too much for Harm Many; he gets so overwhelmed that he explodes.
  • "What Do They Fear?" Episode: We learn about some of the character's fears when Harm Many forces them to face them:
    • Badyah is scared of hamsters.
    • Pugsley is scared of vacuum cleaners, and of Temeluchus taking control of him again.
    • Barney is scared of his parents letting his transphobic grandmother berate him.
    • Logan is scared of his laptop's battery running out of power and having nowhere to charge it.
    • Courtney is scared of being unable to go to the Lower Planes.
    • Norma is scared of everyday life, which proves to be too much for the demon and causes him to explode.

Overloaded Fear

When trying to feed off the fears of Norma, Harm Many find that it's too much for him to handle because her normal, every day life IS the thing she fears most.
