* '''The Cutlister'''
** Habitat Cutlist, vulnerable tropes with a low number of wicks.
** Function: Euthanisation. Unlike the Repairman, who prefers to fix tropes, the Cutlister lives to destroy them. This is not just any troper who realises a trope is useless (those are generally Repairmen) -- the Cutlister seems to take a certain amount of joy in consigning tropes to the scrapheap, even totally legitimate ones. Vigilant Trope Creators and Repairmen can generally put an end to any trope-murder-sprees, but often just ending up suggested for the Cut List makes any trope an endangered species. The Cutlister is usually also a [[Single-Issue Wonk]], and targets tropes that hit their Berserk Button. If unchecked, they can direct the culture of All The Tropes, since they believe that by repeating "This Type Of Trope Is Bad!" long enough, people will start to agree. Thankfully, Cutlisters are rare, and easily spotted by Troper Police. They also cannot simply cut pages on All The Tropes without the adminsmods noticing... and reverting the cuts where necessary.
** Favourite Tropes: Hard to tell.
** Natural Enemy: Trope Creators. Creators and Cutlisters represent the alpha and omega of tropes, respectively.
Line 226:
** Habitat: [[Trope Workshop]]
** Function: Popping up in comments and informing the Trope Creator that their fledgling page is extremely similar to an existing trope that it, in actual fact, bears no resemblance to whatsoever. Not to be confused with people who know what they are talking about! Known by their trademark cry "We already have this!". Sometimes willing to spend days or even weeks arguing about it, often long after the trope has actually been launched.
** Favourite Tropes: Only those that are already in existence and well established
