The '''Scrameustache''' is a [[Franco Belgian Comics|Belgian comic book]] by author Gos and his son Walt, published by Dupuis and later, by Glénat. It relates the adventures of the titular character, a [[Talking Animal|highly intelligent, genetically engineered animal]] with the features of both a cat and a monkey. He is often accompanied by Khéna, a teenager [[Human Aliens|human alienAlien]] abandoned on Earth after his parent's ship was sabotaged, and uncle George, the archaeologist who adopted Khéna.
 
Other recurring characters include the Galaxians, green aliens about the same size of Scrameustache and living on Khéna's home planet, Aktarka, the Ramouchas, mischievous bear-like creatures with electric powers, who subvert pretty much all the time the [[Everything's Worse with Bears]] trope, the [[Proud Warrior Race|Kromoks]], a (very) [[Lighter and Softer]] version of the [[Star Trek|Klingons]], and the Stixes, a race of scheming aliens.

{{tropelist}}
=== Includes examples of: ===
 
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Thorgull, a menacing robot warrior from outer space, can easily being disabled by hitting his on/off switch on his chest panel.
** Not exactly. This is the ''recharge mode'' switch. So hitting the switch only works if he is discharged. He was just stupid enough to use the last of his charge before this.
* [[Action Girl]]: Pilili, Brédiline.
Line 43:
* [[Did They or Didn't They?]]: Happens between a Galaxian and a Figueuleuse. Seriously, it's a kids' comic book.
* [[Distress Ball]]: Khéna needs rescuing from Scrameustache quite a lot, although there is one case where their roles are reversed.
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: Scrameustache, although he wears shoes during winter or in space.
** All the Kromoks.
* [[Doomsday Device]]: [[Human Aliens|The Sharbakan]] suffered from constant invasions from the [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent|Togons]] who originate from another continent. The Sharbakan eventually built a device which emit waves that destroy the Togons' cell structure. The wave is completely harmless to other living beings. There's subversion because the emitter is used purely for defense.
Line 97:
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Princess Iridia and Prince Triocca.
* [[Running Gag]]: The Galaxians show up unexpectedly, much to uncle George's dismay. Strangers swing-by for a visit and uncle George hides the Galaxians. The Galaxians mess up and are spotted. Uncle George makes up excuses to get rid of the visitors. Uncle George blow-up a fuse and spank the Galaxians.
* [[She Is's All Grown Up]]: {{spoiler|A very bizarre case. [[Everything's Better with Princesses|Princess Lila]] was a young girl when she met Khéna [[Time Travel|in the past]]. After [[The Great Flood|the destruction of Atlantis]], Lila's spaceship could not escape Earth and was buried under tons of rocks, while she remained [[Human Popsicle|in stasis]]. 12000 years later, our heroes found her, but some [[The Greys|meddling aliens]] revived her and [[Rapid Aging|sped up her age]]. Lila was grown into a beautiful adult woman, but was completely shocked to see her youth being robbed. This was done so Khéna's would not fall in love with her because of their age difference.}}
* [[Shock and Awe]]: The Ramouchas' innate ability.
* [[Shout-Out]]: In the latter books, [[Star Wars|the Force]] is mentioned and some characters use it. One even says verbatim "May the Force be with you".
Line 116:
* [[The Dragon]]: Falzar to Satic, his creator.
* [[Time Travel]]: Several stories.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: ''The Cheater'' who will become known as ''The Renegade''.
* [[Tractor Beam]]
* {{spoiler|[[Trapped in the Past]]: Khéna's parents. They adjusted to the Renaissance's era and had two children who are completely unaware of their [[Human Aliens|true origins.]]}}
