Adam850: I thought (by the title) that this was going to be about chestbursters.


Cosmetor: This trope of monsters that look like collectable items, such as mimics, should be separated from actual items that hurt you if you collect them, like the poison mushroom.

Tanto: It's all the same crap. "Hazard that looks like good stuff" isn't a broad enough concept to encompass more than one trope.

Cosmetor: Even with their similar nature, they are significantly different in concept, and I think they're different enough to warrant a split. Just look at how many different tropes on Villains there are.

Prfnoff: This very split was done a while back. A few examples were transferred to Poison Mushroom.


Masami Phoenix: I get why the reference to chestbursters and to Gag Boobs, but I don't get how this is connected/could be mistaken for Strangled by the Red String.

Tanto: It's a Harry Potter reference, evidently. Although I agree that it's a little too narrow for this page.

WonSab Very narrow. About one page in book six, maybe two.
