Decap Attack was a comic strip loosely based on the video game, published in the U.K.'s Sonic the Comic, written and drawn by Nigel Kitching.

• Affectionate Parody: Of monster archetypes.
• Aloof Big Brother: Chuck's "big brother" is fellow monster, Boris. However, Boris quickly grew bored with life at the castle and went off to become a film star.
• Ascended Extra: Head. In the game he was merely an optional item for Chuck (with no indication of being an actual character), while the comic turns him into a comedic foil of sorts.
• Chaotic Neutral: Best describes Professor Stein.
• Daddy's Little Villain: The Thin Controller - Max D. Cap's daughter - qualifies as this. She's smitten with Prof. Stein, who doesn't reciprocate due to...well, she's a demon.
• Dem Bones: Head, the talking skull.
• Expy: Max D. Cap is basically Satan, albeit quite genial in nature. Professor Stein should be obvious.
• Fifth Ranger: Kevin of the TPC (that's Transylvanian Pest Control). He only ever appears to tackle the dreaded pumpkin menace.
• Fire and Brimstone Hell: Hell is like this. No one seems to mind.
  • The trains even run on time!
• Funetik Aksent: Stein's German accent portrayed like this.
  • It's also fake; he's really from Cardiff.
• Gang of Bullies: Stein was plagued by one during his school days. However, he eventually got his revenge and the experience put him on the path to Mad Science.
• Gosh Dang It to Heck: At the end of the day, regardless of the monstrous nature of its cast, it's a comic for kids.
  • The word "Hell" was used on a few occassions. Granted it was because the cast were literally in Hell.
• Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Igor. The "heroic" part is up for debate.
• Hurricane of Puns
• I Just Want to Be Normal: Chuck. Or he wants a normal life, anyway.
• Improbable Weapon User: Due to an accident during his creation, Chuck's head is imbedded in his torso. He can attack people by extending it outwards to headbutt them with all the force of a truck.
  • Or, failing that, he can hurl chuck Head.
• Informed Attribute: Max is described by the Professor as being one of the most evil beings alive, as he borrowed the Professor's lawnmower and never returned it.
• Lightning Can Do Anything: Especially bring monsters - and other crimes against nature - to life.
• Mad Scientist: Prof. Stein, obviously. He enjoys his work.
• Monster Mash
• Nightmare Fuel: DER PUMPLEKINS.
  • Chuck is visited by a dentist in one issue. It was not pleasant.
  • The Loan Sharks.
• No Name Given: The Thin Controller.
• Our Zombies Are Different: Some people call Chuck a zombie, others peg him as a mummy. Regardless he doesn't hunger for human flesh...in fact, he's quite fond of cheese.
• Periphery Hatedom: In universe example. Chuck kept a bunny rabbit, who wrote cutesy stories about himself, locked in a tower so he wouldn't read any more. This backfired, when Chuck finally released him he'd used the time to write hundreds more.
• Punch Clock Villain: The demons of Hell.
• Shout-Out: Many.
• Sickly Neurotic Geek: Head is this. Sort of.
• Smug Snake: Igor.
• Suddenly Voiced: The "Pumplekin" pumpkins, which are silent in their first appearance and snarky gits in their second.
• Take That: Against Milton Keynes. Huh.
• The Igor: An unorthodox depiction of an Igor.
• Token Evil Teammate: Igor, Stein's lab assistant, constantly tries to kill Chuck and generally just insults everyone.
• Treasure Is Bigger in Fiction: "B" coins are unusually large.
• Unstoppable Rage: Chuck, while normally a nice guy, can descend into this if you're not careful.
• With Friends Like These...
• A Worldwide Punomenon: Lots of them. See Punny Name above.
• You Gotta Have Green Hair: Professor Stein. It's dyed.
