* [[The Berserker]]: {{spoiler|Gregor and Ripred are both "ragers" -- a person with highly developed warrior skills, a natural-born killer.}}
* [[Big Bad]]: Pearlpelt, or {{spoiler|the Bane. Literally.}}
* [[Black and Gray Morality]]: verging on [[Grey and Gray Morality]] before {{spoiler|[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|the systematic extermination of the nibblers.]] Even afterward individual rats on the Bane's side are portrayed in a sympathetic light.}}
* [[Blessed With Suck]]: Everyone in this series has some sort of tragic past.
** More specifically, Twitchtip the 'scent seer' whose sense of smell is so accurate that she can smell secrets -- not a fast track to the popular crowd. Also {{spoiler|Gregor as a rager, which means he has to pay special attention whenever he fights so he doesn't kill anyone. Great fun.}}
Line 72:
* [[Hyper Awareness]]: Gregor can sense his own urine just by using echolocation.
* [[I Can Still Fight]]: The fifth book has everyone doing this.

Line 97:
* [[Waif Prophet]]: Nerissa.
* [[War Is Hell]]: Gregor realizes this is true for both the Underland and Overland {{spoiler|in the ending chapter.}}
* [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]]: Gregor seems to love mocking Luxa's stiff conduct and all that. Has some pretty funny moments.
* [[What the Hell Townspeople]]: The Regalians still scorn Gregor even though {{spoiler|he's saved their lives multiple times.}}
** {{spoiler|The ending of Book Five has Gregor tell off what amounts to the ENTIRE Underland. The Bane's dead and the humans and rats are ready to live together peacefully. Luxa then announces that the rats are being sent to live in the most hostile region of the Underland. Ripred isn't amused, and both sides are ready to go to war right then and there. Gregor tells all of them off not just for being so stupid after both sides have been devastated, but also for Ripred having come all this way with them and Luxa treating him like dirt.}}
* [[Wham Line]]: That encoded message in ''Gregor and the Code of Claw''? It says {{spoiler|Twitchtip died in pit.}} Also, the entirety of Luxa's {{spoiler|declaration of war against the gnawers.}}
* [[White
