* ''[[Fallen London]]'':
** Sorrow Spiders are common fauna in London, but they are basically just [[Giant Spider]]s. The Spider Council is… different. Described in the narrative as “an abominable monster like an amalgamation of several large sorrow-spiders” the regular sorrow spiders graft the eyes of their victims onto this thing as part of the process to hatch more of them. The fact that it speaks [[Surprisingly Good English]] is even more unsettling.
** In [[The City Narrows| Spite]], cats (whom you can nab to collect Cryptic Clues) are [[Cats Are Snarkers|sassy]], [[Cats Are Magic|magic]], and [[Cats Are Mean|often mean]], and [[Talking Animal| most of them can talk]]. Black Cats, however, seem to stand out. Again, the narrative betrays their true nature, "You didn't know cats came in this particular black. It's as if someone's cut a hole in a shadow and filled it with ink.” Failing to catch one makes your character wonder if it was even there at all; successfully catching one is an eerie experience that seems more like the cat has caught you, and the reward is an Appalling Secret and a Tale of Terror (both of which are items in the same category of Cryptic Clues but more valuable). It seems these cats are minions of the Dutchess, [[Humanoid Abomination| who is herself something of an abomination.]]
** '''[[Pure Evil| THE]] [[Bigger Bad| OVERGOAT!]]'''
{{quote|Spawn of a Master and a feather-gartered-demon at the Feast of the Exceptional Rose! Guardian of the Bazaar's deepest cellar! It consumes smoke and defecates flame! It rises like flies and walks on the cavern roof! It ate the tongue of the King with a Hundred Hearts! It can only be tamed by the child who has one green eye and one blue! In its roar is heard the voice of the Old God of the Cavern! In its heart burns the fire of the first candle!
