In Changeling it was "Banality". Basically the forces of 'normality'. Things like 'working a 9-to-5 job' and anything related to 'being a normal person' instead of 'being a faerie lord'. Extremely banal things included cold iron, polyester, broccoli, income tax....

Ah yes!  And that reminds me of a quote from my quotefile which, dammit, would have let me answer the question completely:

Changelings are creatures of Glamour, which is magic derived from the human creative impulse; they abhor Banality, which, as my wife puts it, is the impulse that drives you to buy a Volvo.

Back to the topic at hand, though...  I think the idea we should strive for is something on the order of a snippet I once saw about alien invaders arriving at Marvel!Earth and getting some of their advance intelligence a little too late; it was something along the lines of "This planet has repelled Galactus several times in the past ten years?  RETREAT!"
