=== Tropes used in ''[[Holy Beast Online]]'' include: ===
* [[All Deserts Have Cacti]]: Many maps have cacti or mushrooms on them. They're usually small, but it doesn't stop your character from getting stuck on them. And then there are Wrigglons, which are cactus-like monsters that wear bowties.
* [[All in Aa Row]]: With the option to "Track" other players, this can occur.
* [[Allegedly Free Game]]: Some items you can't obtain without purchasing them in the Item Mall (which takes real money to purchase from), though they're sometimes given out in events.
* [[Amazing Technicolor Wildlife]]
Line 16:
* [[Artificial Stupidity]]: While most monsters automatically work their way around obstacles like fences or rocks, sometimes they just flounder about while you hit them with long-ranged attacks. Averted with some bosses: they either run away when their HP is low or call on other monsters to help.
* [[Battle Aura]]: Each animal has an aura that is unique to them based on their clan's element when using berserk.
* [[Big Creepy -Crawlies]]: The main "antagonists" of this game are the Insect Clan. There are tons of different types of insects, and generally, they get bigger as you go further in the game. The smallest of them is about waist-high.
* [[Bizarro Fiction]]: The Bizarro monsters themselves.
* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]: Healers. Already [[Squishy Wizard|squishy as a mage]], they don't get very good magic attack power until after level 30. From there, however, it's easy to handle monsters several levels higher as long as you have potions.
** Also don't expect to win at [[PvP]] unless you're fighting a Warrior who forgot how to use Shatter.
* [[Breakable Weapons]]
* [[Call a Rabbit Aa Smeerp|Call A Rabbit A "Marla"]]
* [[Call a Smeerp Aa Rabbit]]: Berserker Insects.
* [[Camera Screw]]: The camera isn't fixed, technically, but that doesn't stop it from happening. Watch in horror as you turn your camera right when a lag occurs, the command gets stuck, and everything starts turning every which way by the slightest movement of the mouse. Fortunately, you can fix it easily with a right click. Just hope that you're not in danger when this happens.
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: You can punch ''bears'' to death.
Line 37:
** On a related note, there is an Eldritch Spirit Tower early on in the game.
* [[Emote Animation]]
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Samurai]]: The samurai costumes. Their stats are on par with HQ armor.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Cows]]: Taurus clan.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Monkeys]]: Monkey clan.
* [[Cute Kitten]]: Tiger clan.
* [[Precious Puppies]]: Dog clan.
* [[Everything's Worse Withwith Bears]]: The teddies. They make this horrifying crashing noise when they hit you, but they die in an amusing fashion.
* [[Experience Points]]: Taken for granted at low levels.
* [[Experience Booster]]: Also taken for granted at low levels.
Line 58:
* [[Gotta Kill Em All]]: If it's not another player, you kill it. End of story. Unless you're in [[PvP]], then the players are fair game as well as the monsters there.
* [[Gradual Regeneration]]: Your health slowly regains on its own.
* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language]]: Not counting the language of the players themselves, but anything with writing on it is in undecipherable runes. Halos, however, are {{{[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]} Japanese characters.}}
* [[Hit Points]]: Warriors have enough to share.
* [[Hub Level]]: Holy Beast Castle is the hub of hubs.
Line 83:
* [[Piggyback Cute]]: The tiger player in the first chapter of the Holy Beast Kidz web comic does this to a dragon player, who apparently doesn't like it. [[Ship Tease|Guess what?]]
** [[Book Ends|Done again]] in the final chapter, where our once newbie players finally reach the beautiful Waterdragon Castle and obtain their 3rd forms, this time with [[Love Triangle|an extra passenger]].
* [[Player -Generated Economy]]: Best way to make money? Farm some good stuff and set up shop in Market.
* [[Pretty Butterflies]]: Completely averted. Butterflies in this game are usually something to hide from.
* [[Rainbow Pimp Gear]]: Lower leveled players are most subject to this, but higher levels are no exception. There is a point where you can neither afford nor find your level armor at the merchants. That means you have to farm your own armor from monsters, and it can result in a mismatched array of colors.
* [[Randomly Drops]]
* [[Room Full of Crazy]]: More like caves.
* [[Sand Worm]]: The Geds, though apparently not just limited to sand, as there are some coming out of stones in towers. There's also a pet that is quite obvious it came from a volcano, which as long as it is out, will follow you [[Convection, Schmonvection|ANY]][[Like a Fish Takes Toto Water|WHERE]].
* [[Scenery Porn]]: While there are several maps out there that can be bland, [[Field of Blades|torn up here and there from apparent battle]], or the breeding grounds of the resident [[Big Creepy -Crawlies|killer insects]], there are just as many that can be beautiful enough to not even care about [[Empty Room Psych|how pointless it is to explore them]].
** Examples include [http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/Baby_Cougar/hbo_20110819025535.jpg this], [http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/Baby_Cougar/hbo_20110819025425.jpg this], [http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/Baby_Cougar/hbo_20110816054123.jpg this], [http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/Baby_Cougar/hbo_20110813222803.jpg this], and [http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/Baby_Cougar/hbo_20110729212128.jpg this].
** [[Scenery Gorn]]: Several of the maps after Tiger Star Hill feature this. Holes with green fumes, insect hives, bones of dead giant praying mantises, spirits of the dead doing you harm, and an atmosphere of grey everywhere you look. Even the Fortress of Peace, which turns out to be quite the opposite.
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]: Boss boxes.
* [[Shapeshifting]]: From level 3 upward, you can change between beast form and human form.
* [[Skill Point Reset]]
Line 99:
* [[Sound of No Damage]]: DODGE! DODGE! MISS!
* [[Space Compression]]: Most notable examples would be towers, especially Seraphim Tower. They look small outside, but are actually quite large inside.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Many players use alt+ codes to write certain characters in their name, thereby avoiding random friend invites, group invites, and [[P Ms]].
* [[Spiteful AI]]: Some monsters in some areas, even if they're the non-aggressive ones, will gang up on you and attack in a group if you attack one of them. The first horrifying example is Small Demonblades, and it only gets worse from there.
* [[Super Not-Drowning Skills]]: There are several maps in this game completely under large lakes.
