* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Demons are all {{FallenAngel}}s. Catch, in particular, is short and squat, has scaly skin, cat eyes, and a forked tongue. He is [[NighInvulnerability practically indestructible]] can be affected by drugs but not poison and needs to [[IAmAHumanitarian eat people every couple of days or he gets cranky]]. When eating he triples in size and stops being InvisibleToNormals. Catch also comes with the perk of granting eternal youth.
* OurGeniesAreDifferent: Gian Hen Gian appears as an Arabic man that can only speak Arabic, but is understood by everyone regardless of whether they know Arabic or not. He claims that Djinn are the first people, that they were {{RealityWarper}}s whose powers made {{God}} jealous. They live in the netherworld.

* AndIMustScream: Catch is punished by being chained to a rock and having an eagle fly down and eat his liver every day. Brine lampshades the fact that it sounds a lot like Prometheus's punishment. Gian Hen Gian {{Hand Wave}}s this by saying that the"" Greeks were thieves, no better than Solomon"".
* AssholeVictim: Catch can't always be stopped from eating people, so Travis naturally tries to get him to eat pimps and drug dealers rather than say, babies and sweet old ladies.
