Line 96:
* [[Create Your Own Villain]]: Most of the many villains of Zoofights would have never existed if it weren't for the Loser's League insisting on reanimating and upgrading defeated fighters. In fact, only two of the eight monsters that could have possibly been serious threats were going to show up whether the tournament happened or not - {{spoiler|From Hell and Seanet}}.
* [[Creepy Child]]: Lilly Limbcake from Zoofights 3.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Croctopus.
* [[Cult]]: {{spoiler|Elohim}} has at least one devoted follower.
** The Walrus hails from post-apocalyptic New Zealand, where crazed druids worship the walrus character from the arcade game "New Zealand Story".
Line 124:
** Zoofights 4 - {{spoiler|Shaolin Monkey, Wrasslopod, Once Were Walrus, The Penguin, Raptorcycle, Wolfbike, Cheetahbike, and Dogbike team up to face Elohim. Subverted hilariously when Ned Killy responds to Dred Zeppelin's peace offering with a steel girder to the face.}}
** Zoofights 5 - {{spoiler|Ro-Boto Cop and Sega Gorillesis Mk II become friends and form a tag team.}}
* [[
* [[
* [[
* [[
* [[Messy Pig]]: Porky Punisher
* [[
** {{spoiler|Elohim}} may also qualify.
** In Zoofights 5, Dreadnautilus. Granted, he's a nautilus and so not that squishy, but still.
* [[
* [[
* [[
* [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]: Entrant 12 in Zoofights 3 had the official name of {{spoiler|"A MOTHERFUCKING '''MARTIAN'''"}}. Which, really, is rather to the point.
* [[Eye Beams]]: Hippos with Lasers for Eyes, Star Truck.
Line 143:
** Zoofights 5 - {{spoiler|Hero character Dreadnautilus is corrupted by Seanet and goes rogue.}}
** Zoofights 6 - {{spoiler|Sawz of the Mangolin' Pangolins, after being eaten by and merging together with a hippo is seeking vengance on his brothers, who he blames for the aforementioned death}}.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: {{spoiler|Ro-Boto Cop.}}
* [[Funny Animal]]: The Walrus, Barbarrimundi.
* [[Gargle Blaster]]: These are the specialty of Gezora, the Zoofights bartender. In fact, there are more Gargle Blasters than ordinary drinks.
Line 165:
* [[Horny Vikings]]: {{spoiler|Odinkaru}}
* [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice]]: Oh, The Huge Manatee vs. the Tapogres, {{spoiler|Gravatee vs. From Hell}}
* [[In Medias Res]] [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|Bitches]]: For [http://zoofights.squarespace.com/storage/zoofights6/ll-fight-2/1%20larger.jpg HWAAD vs. Cold Warlrus].
* [[Joke Character]]: Wolfbike, A Cat With One Leg, Bikebike, A Jar of Frog Piss
** In an interview about Zoofights 5, Major Failure gives a few hints of upcoming fighters. One of the creations he names is {{spoiler|a psychic onion}}, which promptly started much joking and hypothesizing among the readers. However, {{spoiler|once actually revealed, The European Onion proved to be no joke at all}}.
Line 194:
* [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]]: {{spoiler|Final Mantisy ends up saving the world from the wrathful bear-horse thing that is Mental Ben and Nightmare. Her reward? A hoof to the everywhere by Muhammut Kali.}}
** {{spoiler|Seen again in the very next fight, when Monster Truck II's attempt to play fair is taken advantage of by Hardcore Prawn.}}
* [[Off
** In Zoofights 6, {{spoiler|Muhammut Kali switches back and forth between having an elephant head and a mammoth head. (He's supposed to have the mammoth head, due to an injection of mammoth genes.}}
* [[Off With His Head]]: {{spoiler|Old Bitey's victory over Tunguska}} ends with this in Zoofights 4.
Line 201:
* [[Ominous Crack]]: Zoofights 3 - the grand entrance of {{spoiler|From Hell}}.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Zoofights 5 - The Sturgeon General and The Snapture are considerably more intelligent and aware than the other 14 competitors. While The Snapture can read, write, and speak (rare for a Zoofighter), and the Sturgeon General is very calculating and resourceful, the other competitors are handicapped to various degrees by things like extreme hatred, deep patriotism, brainwashing and conditioning, insanity, dumb radio operators, low mental capacity, and copious ammounts of alcohol.
* [[
* [[Popularity Power]]: Responsible for a few Crack Defeats.
* [[Precision F
* [[Product Placement]]: If all goes well Zoofights IV will have [[Care Bears]] vs. [[My Little Pony]] in round 2 and Coke vs. Pepsi in the Losers League. What can I say, it's [[The Eighties]].
* [[Promoted Fanboy]]: You like Zoofights? You can draw? Well then come aboard - Major Failure's always looking for a helping hand. One good example is the user Empty Sandwich. He works with clay, and made models of some of the fighters in Zoofights 3 and 4. Come Zoofights 5 he now contributes directly to the fights, with his modeling work appearing in Croctopus vs. Pride and Prejudice, Sting Kong vs. Barbarrimundi, Great Leap Forward vs. The Snapture, and {{spoiler|Captain Croctopus vs. Sturgeongrad}}
* [[Punny Name]]: Oh the Huge Manatee is probably the [[So Bad
** Snake Preview of Zoofights 5 is also pretty punny. Zoofights just relishes silly names.
** Let's not forget '''A GORILLION DOLLARS'''!
Line 216:
* [[Reveal Shot]]: Zoofights 6 - {{spoiler|In the final, Vighneshvara and Armour Dio are shown in a close-up shot pummeling each other. Then the next picture pulls back the view to reveal that [[Magnificent Bastard|they are unknowingly being surrounded by]] [[Actually a Doombot|six lobster-controlled mechs.]]}}
* [[Rock Beats Laser]]: Zoofights 5 - {{spoiler|Great Leap Forward vs. The Snapture}}
* [[Role Playing Game]]: The voters have included several [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctors]], [[Fan Nickname|"Sad]] [[The Road|Aragorn"]], [[Steampunk]] [[Theodore Roosevelt]], [[Lucifer (Comic Book)|Lucifer]], [[Escape From New York|Snake]] [[Escape From LA|Plissken]], [[The Dark Crystal|Aughra]], (irradiated) Marie Curie, (mutated) [[Niccolo Machiavelli|Machiavelli]], [[Freud Was Right|Sigmund Freud]], the [[Robot Monster]], the cockroach from ''[[Wall E]]'', Alexander the Great, Kim Jong-Il (who was oddly silent during Great Leap Forward's round), [[Star Trek (Franchise)|Capt. Kirk]], [[There Will Be Blood|Daniel Plainview]], [[Deadwood|Al Swearingen]] (co-bartended with Gezora in Zoofights 4), [[The Sopranos|Paulie Walnuts]], [[Transmetropolitan|Spider Jerusalem]], [[Preacher (Comic Book)|The Saint of Killers]] (who almost got into a fight with one of the more nihilistic Doctors), [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Dr. Robotnik]], [[Event Horizon|Dr. Weir]], [[Futurama|Scruffy the Janitor]], Elohim's [[The Pope|Pope]] (Benedict XVI -- no 'shopping necessary!), [[The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension|Buckaroo Banzai]], [[Time Travel|Time]] [[Santa Claus|Santa]] and his pal [[Back to The Future|Doc Brown]], an African warlord, an [[Blade Runner|eye doctor]], countless videogame and comicbook characters, random (photos of) real people, quite a few original characters, and several [http://www.keiththompsonart.com/pages/slaver.html Keith Thompson] characters. Oh, [[My Friends and Zoidberg|and]] Tim Buckley<ref> I'm surprised that with all the Keith Thompson characters no one used [http://www.keiththompsonart.com/pages/necromancer.html this ingenious lady] as Lilah/Brittany</ref>. However, there's a rule that the role-playing shouldn't get too out of hand least it get in the way of the actual fighting, which apparently happened in one of the earlier rounds [[Old Shame|to everyone's detriment]].
* [[Rule of Cool]]: The entire series, really. There's a train with a bison attached to it, for crying out loud.
* [[Running Gag]]: '''GEZORA DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHISPERING.'''
Line 225:
* [[Sensory Abuse]]: A video was posted to Youtube during Zoofights 4 purporting to be a look inside the mind of The Walrus. It was extremely loud and disorienting in there.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: {{spoiler|The Zoofights VI sign in the Zoofights V finale}}
* [[Shell
* [[Shoddy Knockoff Product]]: The WCW (World Creature Wars).
* [[Shout Out]]: [[Star Wars]] and the Sega Genesis are favorites.
