** The plot itself can give birth to umpteen, but in-game dialogue mentions an all-time great: that the Lady Of Pain, mysterious and godlike ruler of Sigil, who can banish lawbreakers to endless, eternal mazes (or just kill them by casting a shadow made of thousands of magical blades) for crimes like murder, treason or daring to worship her, is actually six giant squirrels wearing a cloak, a ring of levitation and an illusion spell.
** A popular fan one is that the Nameless One's original incarnation is Zerthimon. Despite the fact that the Nameless One appears as a human male, albeit covered in scars (not only on screen, but characters who bring up the Nameless One's appearance also describe him this way), and the game's creators have [[Word of God|outright said]] that, while they don't *know* who he was, they '''do''' *know* who he was not, and he was '''not''' Zerthimon.

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Yeah, yeah, we ''know'' that "Vrischika" is Sanskrit for "scorpion"... but is there ''anyone'' who isn't going to think of ''[[Homestuck]]'' when they read that these days?
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: The Practical Incarnation. Holy crap the Practical Incarnation.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: There's a chance it will be crossed in the story's narrative. You have several opportunities to cross it yourself. Some past incarnations ({{spoiler|Especially the Practical Incarnation, and [[Noodle Incident|apparently]] your first incarnation}}) crossed it already.
