{{tropelist}}
* [[Badass Native]]: Moon
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: Moon
Line 21:
* [[Mighty Whitey]]: Deconstructed, since Moon is a halfbreed Cheyenne. Further deconstructed since he accidentally starts an epidemic of the common cold, killing them all.
* [[Mushroom Samba]]: Moon gets a lot of tropes.
* [[Naked
* [[National Geographic Nudity]]
* [[Native American Mythology]] and all associated (or at least Sioux and Cheyenne) tropes.
Line 27:
* [[No One Could Have Survived That]]: Moon
* [[Nude Nature Dance]]: Played with, though the film version is definitely not fanservice, since it's Kathy Bates {{spoiler|and her character's basically gone nuts}}.
* [[Rape
* [[Shaggy Dog Story]]: Moon wants to help the Niaruna, but in the end, he gives them the flu, which kills them.
* [[Shotacon]]: When Randy's wife says "What if one of those things lays a hand on Billy?", Randy simply replies "He might like it."
