Line 28:
* [[Bee People]] - the mention of a Queen Hive on the card backs implies this with the Sectoids.
* [[Body Horror]] - it's probably not an issue for the Biomecha ([[Squick|and possibly the Unnaturals]]), but as part of the game, all the races are able to exchange limbs and other body parts WITH EACH OTHER.
* [[BraininaBrain In A Jar]] - {{spoiler|the Biomecha.}}
* [[Bug War]] - heavily implied with the Neo-Sapiens and Sectoids. What with one race dressed like [[Starship Troopers]] and all.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]] - Literally. Each side of the die has TWO numbers rather than one, and they're shaded in black and white, so you're expected to call out 'black attack' or 'white attack' before you roll. Narmtastic, but it does Nerf the Game Breaking potential.
Line 38:
* [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul]] - {{spoiler|Implied with the Biomecha.}}
* [[Elemental Punch]] - all the Hyperfuries, Hyper Guardian of the Neo-Sapiens, Runeslayer of the Arcasters.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Monkeys]] - the Thunder Shaman of the Meta-Beasts is a gorilla.
* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]] - Parodied in the Unnaturals' racial info:
{{quote| DISLIKES: Fuzzy Happy Bunnies.}}
* [[Fantastic Racism]] - the Neo-Sapien society believes that the other races are either rumors, terrorists, or [[Bug War|an infestation]].
* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: The Hyperfuries.
** [[Playing With Fire]] - Inferno Fury.
** [[An Ice Person]] - Cryo Katana.
** [[Psycho Electro]] - Shock Berserker.
* [[FrankensteinsFrankenstein's Monster]] - Franken Punker of the Unnaturals.
* [[Fur Against Fang]] - The Moon Stalker/Hemo Goblin 2-pack.
* [[Game System]]
Line 62:
* [[Monster Mash]] - Moon Stalker looks like a werewolf. Hemo Goblin looks like a vampire. And then there's Franken Punker mentioned above, and...
* [[Mummy]] - Crypt Curse of the Unnaturals.
* [[NamesName's the Same]] - Neo-Sapiens. The ones in [[Exo Squad]] were genetically engineered to be superior to humans while looking nothing like them - the ones in Xevoz look very human indeed, implying that they're also superior, but by evolving naturally. Possible hint at [[After the End]] setting.
** There's a Razor Claw in ''Transformers'' (but written as Razorclaw), and he's [[Mega Neko|a lion instead of a panther.]]
** An even bigger stretch would be Shadow Blade, also the name of Morrigan's Dragon Punch in ''Darkstalkers''.
Line 72:
** Counting the Franken Punker as a zombie, it's possible to make a ''literal'' ninja pirate zombie robot.
* [[Obvious Rule Patch]] - Introduced halfway down the line, the Drain Attack allows you to ''add'' a part to your opponent's figure, with the effect of removing one part of the opponent with each turn. The only solution - roll for a recovery point and use it up to remove the Drain Attack instead of restoring a body part.
* [[One -Gender Race]] - The reason why the fandom is ''already sick and tired'' of fanart for female Xevoz.
** Could be averted though; It's possible that all races except the Hyperfuries have genders (and with the Biomecha and Unnaturals, they might have been female at ''some'' point....)
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]] - Actually, apart from being man-high and more humanoid, Firedrake of the Reptosaurs is pretty standard dragon.
Line 117:
** [[Katanas Are Just Better]] - Shadow Blade, Infil-Traitor and the aptly-named Cryo Katana.
** [[Knife Nut]] - Alpha Rangers carry huge combat knives.
** [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]] - Iron Spectre has an impressively large tower shield.
** [[Revolvers Are Just Better]] - Quick Slinger has four, two of which are [[Hand Cannon|larger than his torso.]]
** [[Wolverine Claws]] - Nearly all the figures carry the same iron-knuckle weapon. Razor Claw has claws on his hands and a clawed fist weapon at the same time. Shadow Blade also has a unique knuckle weapon. Crypt Curse has twin fist-blades.
*** Infil-Traitor has bladed fingers by default.
* [[What Measure Is a Non -Human?]] - The Biomecha are considered as their own race {{spoiler|despite being Neo-Sapiens with mechanical parts replacing their bodies. Preda Crawler doesn't even hide this, as his Neo-Sapien torso and head are clearly visible.}}
* [[Winged Humanoid]] - Storm Wing of the Meta-Beasts, [[Somewhere an Ornithologist Is Crying|which has wings, legs and arms.]] [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Chickens|And an optional chicken head.]]
** Hemo Goblin even has a second set of decorative 'formal evening' wings. Tomb Wraith had wings added [[Palette Swap|during the recoloring process.]]
* [[Zerg Rush]] - implied with the Sectoids. There's only two kinds available, but the card back stating "warning: might swarm when attack" seems to indicate large numbers of each in existence.
