Line 127:
** [[The Dragon]]: Not indicative of what that trope is at all, but it is one of the most linked tropes on the site. (Its usage in this context also predates the site.)
** [[One-Winged Angel]]: A Trope of Legend. The name is a reference to Sephiroth's theme song from ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''.<ref>(Despite the fact that he had seven wings).</ref> It's not obvious by the title it's about a villain transforming. It resisted a attempt to give it a more descriptive name largely because of its large number of [[Wick]]s and this trope.
** [[Underground Monkey]]: ''"It's a monkey, but it lives underground"'' is hardly a good way to imply ''"video game developers create a whole family of mooks by adding little modifications to a mook, hence getting a lot of enemy-variety cheaper"''. This trope stayed under the radar for too long, and since basically ALL''all'' video game use it, it's been linked by lots and lots of articles. Most tropers believe the abysmal amount of work required to change the name of this trope is just not worth it.
** [[Roger Rabbit Effect]]: ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'' is not the first movie to blend animation and live-action, but it's one of the most well-known, so its name remains.
** [[Epileptic Trees]]: This term probably wondoesn't make any sense at all for people who have never seen ''[[Lost]]'', but it isn't likely to get a name change anytime soon.
