- Ethnic Scrappy: The Colombian natives, especially Keko. There's also a startlingly racist depiction in the Mexican farmhand that rescues Dyke after his beating.
- Moral Event Horizon: Dyke crosses this very early in the book...
- Narm Charm: Dyke's relationship with Slayer, where he says things like, "Good boy, Slayer. You're the biggest of them all and the only one with a red head." His outright refusal to keep anything to himself and constantly talking aloud to no one is pretty amusing, too.
- Squick: The whole book, but especially the aforementioned boob-ripping and baby-eating... and one scene wherein a woman is literally, uh "eaten out" by a mantis.
