* Fred and Oleander [[spoiler: robbing Arizona]] is an in-universe explanation for how the player can have the same cosmetics throughout the game's story mode. And since Arizona's chapter as a playable character is finished, the player doesn't need to "get back" any of the items; we won't be using those cosmetics for that specific character anymore so the whole thing is not a problem. This explanation doesn't work for Velvet, though, who's the second playable protagonist immediately after. But since she's rich, this could be (lazily) handwaved by saying that she coincidentally already had those same items on her to begin with.

* Oleander and Cashmere, that is if you take the shipteasing moments seriously, at first seems [[StrangledByTheRedString like a forced pairing that makes no sense]]; Oleander doesn't really pass as the type to have affection for any ungulate. However, most other creatures we've seen her interact with so far either shunned her (like her clan did for 13 years) or fight her. Cashmere not only does neither of these things, but openly flirts with her. It's conceivable that because of all this Oleander ''might'' [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe have a soft spot for one of the few ungulates who's not antagonistic to her.]] Admittedly, this one might be contradicted as the story goes on.

* The longma are dragon/horse hybrids, and while they are technically omnivorous they abstain from eating meat as a matter of pride and honor. This raises two questions:
** How - and more importantly ''why'' - would dragons and horses do the deed?

** Have any dishonorable longma indulged in carnivorism, and what would be the punishment for doing so if The Hold has been sealed for ages?

* Pom is accompanied by a pack of dogs, and dogs in general are said to be an important part of sheep society. But dogs are carnivores, so how do they get fed? Do the sheep feed non-sapient animals to them? Can they produce vegetarian dog food that can still fully nourish dogs? The dogs are said to be predators in the backstory, so anything is possible.

* The horror behind the idea that the characters are fighting to maintain a status quo in which predator species are hugely deficient is a massive case of this for everyone who didn't fail ecology. Many prey species adapt to predation by birthing huge numbers of young, and now the inhabitants of Foenum have no predators and are experiencing the boosts in child survival and lifespan that come from civilized living. This world will likely soon face mass overcrowding, resources shortages and constant plagues.
