Line 1:
{{trope}}
* '''Basic Trope''': Only one human in the cast.
* '''Straight''': In the RPG Tales Of Troperia, [[The Hero|Hiro]] the [[Heroes Prefer Swords|Sword Master]] is the [[Token Human|only human]] in the [[Five -Man Band]] of [[Fully -Dressed Cartoon Animal|Fully Dressed Cartoon Animals]] - [[The Smart Guy|Roger]] the Black Mage is a [[King of Beasts]], [[The Chick|Claudia]] is a [[Big Badass Bird of Prey]], [[The Big Guy|Marcy]] the [[Bare -Fisted Monk]] with [[Status Buff]] skills is a [[Big Badass Wolf]], and [[The Lancer|Dennis]] the [[Knight in Shining Armour]] and [[Barrier Warrior]] is a [[Cool Horse]].
* '''Exaggerated''': There ''are'' no other humans - Hiro may or may not be a [[Last of His Kind]].
* '''Justified''': [[Old Master]] [[The Mentor|Hitoshi]] seeks out the five descendants of the five [[Precursor Heroes]] - who were a [[Five -Token Band]] as well, so naturally this group would be.
* '''Inverted''': [[Token Non -Human]].
* '''Subverted''': Hiro ''is'' the only human in the work and the team - until a load of [[Guest Star Party Member]] [[Sixth Ranger]] wannabes join and more humans are introduced on Disc 3.
* '''Double Subverted''': They're all the type of [[Guest Star Party Member]] who dies.
* '''Deconstructed''': Hiro secretly cries himself to sleep every night - all of his kind are dead, including his friends and family.
* '''Reconstructed''': After the team's adventures together, Hitoshi admits that [[HotImprobable SkittySpecies On Wailord ActionCompatibility]] produces viable children, therefore his kind still exists within other species, which cheers Hiro up.
* '''Parodied''': The group arrive at a town, and the villagers all stare at them before saying this:
{{quote| Wow, what is it?<br />
I think it's called a human. }}
* '''[[Zig Zagged]]''': Hiro is the only main party member to be a human, but then there's all the [[Sixth Ranger]] types. They're all [[Guest Star Party Member|guest star party members]] though, and they die before the end of the story. Then Hitoshi reveals that other animals are part human, and the last [[Sixth Ranger]]'s death leads them to a city filled with humans.
Line 16:
* '''Defied''': Hitoshi points them towards a city of humans right off the bat.
* '''Averted''': There are other humans in the setting.
* '''Enforced''': "Hmm, every work seems to choose either humans or furries... let's give 'em a [[Lions and Tigers Andand Humans, Oh My!]] world!"
* '''Invoked''': [[Path of Inspiration|Ki]][[Religion of Evil|ng]] [[The Pope|Pao]][[Big Bad|lo]] knows that a human will defeat him because of a visit from [[God]], so he kills all the humans - except [[Moses in Thethe BullrushesBulrushes|Hiro]].
* '''Discussed''': "Please tell me he's not the only one left." "I'm afraid so."
