Line 43:
* [[Ascended to Carnivorism]]: Apparently Rumbles smell and taste just like fresh, sweet hay to horses, who will eagerly eat them. Sam the horse consumes a Rumble prisoner while the Adventurers aren't looking, eating him skin, fur, bones and all.
* [[Asexuality]]: Borribles start off as prepubescent children {{spoiler|(with one very notable exception)}}, so there's little to no sexuality -- at least in the adult sense -- in them to start with. And once they Borrible, there's pretty much no difference whatsover between male and female; after all, Borribles don't reproduce sexually. (Despite this, it's pretty obvious that Knocker feels ''some'' kind of attraction toward Chalotte in the first book. There is also some evidence of 70s-vintage sexism among Borribles as well.)
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: What every Borrible hopes to earn. At the end of the first book, Chalotte posthumously designates {{spoiler|Knocker's second name}} as [[The Magnificent|"Burnthand"]], and everyone agrees it's this trope. {{spoiler|Except Knocker himself, who isn't actually dead; when he learns what he was dubbed, he thinks of it as a reminder of one of the most foolish things he ever did.}}
* [[Badass]]: The Adventurers, of course, especially ''after'' they get out of Rumbledom, to the point of becoming culture heroes and {{spoiler|the specific targets of an entire special police squad}}.
** {{spoiler|Spiff, once he stirs out of his house in ''The Borribles Go For Broke''.}}
