A popular Flash series, featured prominently on [http://www.newgrounds.com/ Newgrounds.com], ''Brackenwood'' tells the odd story of Bitey, a mysterious creature known as a Dashkin. Living in a forest, Bitey fills his day with picking on other creatures, which has a tendency to [[Laser -Guided Karma|come back to haunt him]]. Other creatures inhabit this strange land, like slow-witted elf-creature BingBong, Lemonee Wee the witch, and the easily angered Sasquatch-like Morrugs.
 
Created by Adam Phillips, AKA Chluaid, a former Disney animator, the series is famous for its absolutely [[Awesome Art|beautiful artwork]], which means new episodes of the series usually take a long while to come out. Also featured on [http://www.biteycastle.com/ Phillips' own Web site].

----
=== This work provides examples of: ===
 
* [[All There in the Manual]]: A lot more is revealed about the YuYus [http://www.biteycastle.com/content/yuyu.html here].
Line 26 ⟶ 25:
** [[Freudian Excuse]] / [[Jerkass Woobie]]: "Last of the Dashkin" explains that being an intelligent and emotional creature, alone in a world of simple animals, did a number on Bitey's psyche.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Bitey is a frequent offender.
* [[Laser -Guided Karma]]: Bitey rarely escapes an episode without some of this.
** He gets a good toss after beating up a Fatsack in his debut episode.
** After picking on a group of Prowlies, Bitey takes a drink from the stream... in which BingBong [[I Ate What?|just urinated]].
** Bitey gets whacked with a rock by the baby Morrug he was bullying in "Littlefoot".
** After his daily ritual of being a jerkass to the rest of the creatures, Bitey has extremely bad karma when he ends up in the middle of some of the creatures that he's bullied through the series in "Waterlollies"; however, the karma doesn't hit Bitey until he is forced to regurgitate all the waterlollies that he eats at the end of the episode.
Line 39 ⟶ 38:
* [[Mama Bear]]: Don't pick on the baby Morrug. Chances are his big angry mama isn't too far away.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Bitey is a super fast creature known as a ''Dash''kin.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: "Last of the Dashkin" differs from the previous episodes focused on mischievous humor and [[Laser -Guided Karma]]; it ventures into Bitey's surprisingly deep past and explains why he acts the way he does today in a more somber telling.
* [[Narrator]]: "Last of the Dashkin" breaks from the usual episode style, offering a narrator to explain Bitey's history, and why he acts the way he does.
* [[Parental Abandonment]] / [[Parental Substitute]]: After the event that wiped out the other Dashkin, Bitey was taken in by the Morrugs, but they abandoned him when they had a child of their own. It's heavily implied that this is what caused Bitey to become such a cruel and hateful person.
Line 58 ⟶ 57:
* [[Used to Be A Sweet Kid]]: Bitey, before he suffered from [[Parental Abandonment]] issues and loneliness.
* [[The Voiceless]]: Everyone, with the exception of the Auld Sage and possibly Lemonee Wee. [[Word of God]] is that Bitey ''can'' talk, he just doesn't have a lot to say when Brackenwood appears to have a grand total of three truly sentient creatures, himself included.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Bitey is afraid of spiders, as shown in "Littlefoot" and "Waterlollies".
