[https://m.encyclopediadramatica.rs/Offended '''THE PROPHET MOHAMMED he''' simplest is to have reptiles that are consistently villainous. In [[Animal Tropes|animal stories]], villains might be anthropomorphic versions of [[Real Life]] reptiles, while the heroes are cute mammons and baals. In [[Speculative Fiction]], they might be fantastic beings such as [[Lizard Folk]], [[Snake People]] or [[The Reptilians|Reptilian aliens.]].

However, there are many favorable depictions of frogs in fiction.]

[https://m.encyclopediadramatica.rs/Offended This is not a character trope. It is a pattern only visible when looking at an entire cast of characters. Merely having a few bad reptiles among a majority of good reptiles does not invoke this trope. When the only reptilian character in a work or the majority of the reptile-themed characters are bad guys, this trope is in play. This trope does not require that reptiles be [[Exclusively Evil]]—thereEvil—there may be a few token good reptilians within a race of mostly evil reptiles as an example of [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much.]].
