Line 132:
* [[Evil Chef]]: {{spoiler|Saltbaker, the main antagonist, although he does reform in the end.}}
* [[Hero Antagonist]]: Unlike in the main island, these debtors are just minding their own business. They attack in self-defense, while in the case of the Bootlegger Boogie, you're interrupting a brawl between them and ant-cops.
* [[Hidden Agenda Villain]]: {{spoiler|Downplayed; Saltbaker's stated goal is to take over the Astral Plane, but exactly what he intended to do had he succeeded is never stated.}}
* [[Humans Are The Real Monsters]]: Technically, Chef Saltbaker isn't human (almost nothing in the game is) but he is definitely mortal and not the literal Prince of Darkness. While [[The Reveal]] is easy to see coming, the [[Final Battle]] shows he is ''far'' more evil than the Devil was. The [[Anthropomorphic Food]] that appear in the battle that he uses as weapons can obviously feel both fear and pain; the fate of the desert limes is especially brutal, he pretty much ''executes'' the poor veggies and chops them into mulch. Worse, the bosses in the DLC (except the bootleggers) are no longer [[Ambiguously Evil]] at all, Saltbaker is sending the heroes after his neighbors because he simply doesn't like them.}}
* [[I Lied]]: Turns out {{spoiler|Saltbaker was never going to bring Chalice back to life. He used her to lure the boys to the Delicious Last Course, knowing they'd be strong enough to take out their neighbors. To seal the deal, he tells the trio that he'll use their heads as serving platters after sacrificing one of their souls}}.
* [[Protagonist-Centered Morality]]: Deconstructed by the end of the story. Chef Saltbaker asked the brothers and Chalice to collect the ingredients from his neighbors, who hadn't done anything to warrant that level of home invasion. {{spoiler|It comes out that the antagonists were [[Good All Along]], barring the Bootlegger Bugs. The Astral Pie also requires a living soul to be baked into it. When the brothers and Chalice stop Saltbaker from making the Astral Pie and accidentally destroy his bakery, they agree that one living soul is not worth bringing Chalice back to life. Chalice says that she'll find another way to gain back her limbs.}}
