Line 27:
* [[Inspector Javert]]: An utterly unsympathetic version is found in Inspector Sussworth, to whom the Borribles' very existence is in defiance of his social and political vision of the world.
* [[Like Reality Unless Noted]]: The world is very clearly 1970s Earth -- except for the immortal elfin children and the intelligent rodents each maintaining their own civilizations in the cracks and crevices of human civilization.
* [[Neat Freak]]: Inspector Sussworth.
* [[Not Growing Up Sucks]]: Averted vigorously. As far as Borribles are concerned, growing up is basically ''death''.
* [[Parody]]: The trilogy prominently features a major parody recognizable only to the British: The Rumbles are a ''vicious'' parody of ''[[The Wombles (Animation)|The Wombles]]''.
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
* [[Run Away Hide Away]]: Borrible society provides many examples of the Type 3 variety; some are long-established, others are temporary squats. Perhaps the most permanent (and impressive) example are the Wendle tunnels under the neighborhood of Wandsworth.
* [[The Runaway]]: Every Borrible starts out as a runaway child before metamorphosing.
* [[Terrified of Germs]]: Inspector Sussworth.
* [[The Unmasqued World]]: Authorities know of the existence of Borribles and establish special police squads to deal with them. Rumbles own automobiles and drive them in the street in broad daylight.
* [[Urban Fantasy]]
