* PassiveAggressiveKombat: When Count Fenring attends Feyd-Rautha's birthday celebration and arena duel, he keeps letting loose a string of comments which ''almost'' sound like insults, but are not direct enough to call out, such as calling Feyd a "''precise'' young man" with a pause and emphasis as though he's struggling to think of a compliment. It drives Feyd nuts, and makes the Baron nervous since he knows Fenring would slaughter Feyd if the latter challenged him.

* AdaptedOut: A variant. The Baron's scheme to pull a TheStarscream on the Emperor usually gets changed from him planning to send Feyd to kill Rabban and recruit the Fremen as an army to defeat the Sardaukar to something more simplistic. In the 2000 miniseries he deliberately lets Rabban disrupt Spice production with his victimisation of the Fremen to lure the Emperor away from Kaitain to Arrakis, presumably to have him assassinated. In the Villeneuve version, he intends to use his complicity in the plan to destroy House Atreides to blackmail the Emperor into wedding Irulan to Feyd, thereby placing a Harkonnen on the Golden Throne, and the Lynch version ommits the Baron's imperial ambitions entirely.

This doesn't seem like it fits with the description. The Bene Gesserit are not aliens, and the religions inspired by them are not due to humans treating advanced beings as gods, but the B.G. deliberately creating myths.

* KillMeNowOrForeverStayYourHand: Atreides Mentat Thufir Hawat is captured and enslaved by the Harkonnens during their ouster of the Atreides and is administered a perpetual poison, the antidote to which he receives from the Harkonnens and must take on a regular basis in order to survive. Near the end of ''Dune'', when Paul overthrows the Emperor and confronts the conspirators, the Harkonnen offer Thufir a permanent antidote in exchange for assassinating Paul, who willingly offers his life to Thufir in recognition of his years of loyal service to House Atreides. Unable to bring himself to kill the heir to House Atreides, Thufir instead commits suicide.

* NukeEm: Almost all of the Great Houses keep stockpiles of "atomics" as a tool of last resort. However, under the "Great Convention", the rules of house warfare, the use of nuclear weapons against humans is grounds for [[EarthShatteringKaboom planetary annihilation]]. Of course it helps in the context of the novel that humanity's eggs are in many, many baskets. In the climax, Paul blows a hole in the Shield Wall with one, arguing he is targeting a terrain feature, not people. Gurney Halleck notes that that's a rather fine point; Paul's response is that the Guild ships in orbit will take any point to avoid having to destroy Arrakis.
