Fantasy Counterpart Culture: High Norland, in which House of Many Ways is set, is quite Switzerland-like-with the rolling, snowy mountains and meadows, the cuckoo clocks/sleds, tiny impish creatures, and all.Worse they can absorb magic, so being planted in a wizard leads to them being nearly indestructible, unless you're a fire demon. As it turns out, the mysterious disease infecting the hero's uncle is that he's been attacked and "impregnated" by a lubbock. *shivers* You give birth to purple-eyed Always Chaotic Evil Half Human Hybrids creatures called lubbockin. If you're male, then you'll have the mercy of dying.
Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong: How lubbocks reproduce, paralysing and attacking their victims to laying their eggs in them. Still, it drives Sophie mad, more understandable given tat it's Howl in a disguise. 
Elmuh Fudd Syndwome: Twinkle, being a toddler, understandably has quite the overbearing lisp. Deliberately Cute Child: Twinkle, who is actually Howl in magical disguise, its in part an act to draw attention to himself and not his "playmate" Morgan. Offspring between a lubbock (an evil, magical creature that can change its size and is purple with the body of a man, fuzzy wings and the grotesque head of an insect, which either tears people apart or lays its eggs inside them depending on the season) and a female human are distinguishable often only by their purple eyes and violent tempers. 
Color-Coded Eyes: Purple eyes have very dark connotations here. Category Traitor: Rollo the kobolb is accused of this by Timmins for taking bribes from the Lubbock. "Yes, but I want to help you with the books!"
