Tuff is repressed and scared of hurting people in his shark form. Possibly this is why he can't transform - because he doesn't want to want it. Being a good guy, Dragonfly won't stoop to MindControl here, but he can prod Tuff to relax.

[[WMG: Steller was "overlooked" because has too much EvilVirtues to be the Raven's herald]]
* He's more of an evil overlord material - he doesn't want to destroy the world, he wants to rule it, maybe even not too evilly, because that's counterproductive ("promised the world in exchange for his soul"). Steller is lawful to Snow's chaotic: he cares about efficiency and things going smoothly, while Snow only wants everything to burn in an amusing manner. So, while Snow's going to do evil [[ForTheEvulz anyway]], Steller might become a problem for the omnicidal spirit in the long run.

[[WMG: Raven's suicidal tendencies are caused by an interpretation of the prophecy.]]
* He is to choose "the one who made him" over the one he loves. At the moment he thinks it's about literally being made, and his literal creator is The Great Raven, but that doesn't necessarily mean betrayal. The Great Raven associates himself with death. Raven, desperate not to betray Credenza, may latch on this interpretation and decide he needs to choose death, to die (i.e. leave her) - that he's being called for a HeroicSacrifice.

* What did Dragonfly say?
-->'''Dragonfly''': Your heart is like a watch wound too tight. If you continue like this, you will most certainly break. What do you keep so desperately inside yourself, Tuff?

* And it makes sense that Olivia and Dragonfly would be able to have descendants at all; if Dragonfly and Olivia loved each other, and she built his body, it might have occurred to her to give him ... ''those'' parts.
