* [[Absent Aliens]]: Unless you count the Sandworms, and their [[Precursors|implied creators]]. Even then, the sentience was added after the fact, by Leto II.
Line 191 ⟶ 184:
* [[Creepy Uncle]]: The Baron, completely obsessed with his young nephew. Somehow worse that he considers him an adopted son.
* [[The Creon]]: The Bene-Geserit play this trope on an organizational scale. They do not believe that assuming direct control of the empire will be beneficial to them, and instead conduct extremely elaborate (millennia-spanning) schemes to remain advisors to the emperor while controlling the empire only from the shadows.
* [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: In one of the prequels, the Baron has his etiquette teacher drowned in raw sewage. The man had been trying to teach the Baron how to behave in polite society.
* [[Culture Clash]]: Played constantly throughout the novels, especially between the Atreides and the Fremen. Specific examples include the meeting between Leto and Stilgar, and Paul's accidental gift of "watercounters" to Chani.
