Line 57:
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: Malicia's storytelling aunts are this to the Brothers Grimm.
* [[Do Not Go Gentle]] / [[Don't Fear the Reaper]]: Darktan manages to combine both of these tropes in his [[Rousing Speech]] to the rats: death in itself is not something to be feared, but the [[Anthropomorphic Personification|Bone Rat]] will only pass you over if you can look him in the eyes. Given that it's the Disc, he's likely not speaking figuratively.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: The Amazing Maurice and Hishis Educated Rodents (and their scam) were first mentioned in ''[[Reaper Man]]'', although most people reading it assumed Maurice was a human conman who trained rats.
* [[Fake Ultimate Hero]]: The Piper.
* [[Fat and Skinny]]: The rat catchers. Lampshaded by Malicia, who assumes that since they're the bumbling villains, there's a [[Man Behind the Man]].
