Basic Trope: They're great with any living thing - except humans.
- Straight:
- First type: Alice is a sweet-natured girl who can talk to - and understand - animals and plant life as if they were human, but when it comes to interacting with people of her own species, she panics.
- Second type: Bob is a savage hunter in the jungle who's learned to live off the fat of the land, but is distrustful of humans.
- Exaggerated:
- First type: Alice can communicate with anything living, but passes out when a human being so much as looks her way.
- Second type: Bob is a Hunter of His Own Kind.
- Justified:
- First type: Alice spent so much time learning how to talk to animals that she didn't learn to talk to humans.
- Second type: Bob has some past hurt in his life.
- Inverted: Animals Hate Him
- Subverted:
- First type: The companions run into Alice, who they expect to be very sheltered. She greets them warmly and helps them out with no trouble at all.
- Second type: The gruff hunter greets the intruders with reasonable, if not extreme, warmth.
- Double Subverted:
- First type: ...in order to get them to quickly be on their way and not try to convert her.
- Second type: ...But only because he knows if they're going to try something, it won't be if he's on guard.
- Parodied:
- First type: The naive Alice goes on a rant about various social injustices that either never existed, barely existed, or have since been fixed.
- Second type: Bob turned his back on humanity because of a very minor misunderstanding that could have easily been resolved.
- Deconstructed: What Is This Thing You Call Love?
- Reconstructed: ???
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: Both types get along well with other people.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: Go away! Me not get along very well with other two-legs.
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
