Cat Smile has been renamed to Playful Cat Smile. Moving examples that have enough context for the new trope.


* TheGadfly: Lampshaded; when Wammawink gets mad at him for telling Horse about the Shamans, he says that telling him not to do things makes him want to do them more. He also sports a CatSmile and smugly fans himself after telling her she pulled a Jeffica.

* AncientEvil: It's left vague how long it was since he had been imprisoned in the VoidBetweenTheWorlds, but he had all of the hallmarks of one. He's an EldritchAbomination who's functionally unkillable, its presence having left a permanent mark in the Human World in the form of a ForeverWar with his minotaur army and has since been remembered in the form of a nursery-rhyme describing him as a Boogeyman-type figure. [[spoiler:The "ancient" part is subverted when his true origin as the Elktaur is revealed, meaning that he isn't particularly old at all.]]

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Downplayed as Wammawink isn't the biggest idiot of the herd, more that she is just not very serious and prone to playing around. However, when the chips are down Wammawink is easily the most powerful of the main characters and quite capable of taking on even the biggest threats to her herd.

However, when the chips are down Wammawink is easily the most powerful of the main characters and quite capable of taking on even the biggest threats to her herd.



* HiddenDepths: She was once in training to become a Shaman, but quit when the training became "too much". She is also absolutely obsessed with Merdudes.
* LastOfHisKind:[[spoiler:Given she was the sole survivor when her village was destroyed and the only other alpacataurs we see are in the elktaur's flashback before said massacre, this is strongly implied.]]

to:

* HeroicLineage: There's a lot more alpacataurs in the Woman's war mural than any other species. Wammawink is like them.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Throughout the series Wammawink has generally been patient of her herd's idiosyncrasies, and the only time we really see her get angry is when they're put in danger. However, in Episode 10 after [[spoiler:the mysterious woman has supposedly left with the key, making it impossible to see Horse again]] she snaps at Glendale for always stealing useless stuff (after being offered a jacket she doesn't need because of her wool), everyone else looks stunned by her reaction.

* ShadowArchetype: With many of Horse’s character flaws taken to an extreme. Horse showed some BloodKnight tendencies and reminisced about crushing skulls underfoot. Becky Apples, by contrast, is something closer to a SpreeKiller than she is to a warhorse. Horse, while well-intentioned, was often inventive and dismissive towards others in her single-minded quest to reunite with Rider. Becky Apples completely disregarded Rider’s goals and intentions, treating their entire mission together as an excuse to stalk the shadows and slaughter minotaurs; abandoning Rider entirely when the opportunity presents itself.

* SelfMadeOrphan: LighterAndSofter version; during her song as a child, she refers to not having a dad or mom before belching, implying that she put them in her portal tummy (later confirmed by WordOfGod). This doesn't actually put them in any harm (and was probably intended to protect them), but it does leave them stuck among all her stolen junk, and Glendale seems to have forgotten about them.

[[spoiler: Her long, straight mane and tail are the first things to turn fluffy as part of this gradual Forced Transformation into a cuter form more befitting Centaurworld. This freaks Horse out since she's scared her rider won't recognize her when they reunite, but her friends think it's wonderful]].

* IncrediblyLamePun: Makes plenty of these, much to Horse's chagrin.
* JokeOfTheButt: Much of his humor is built around this, which is [[JustifiedTrope justified]] considering he is attached to another character's butt. In fact, his IAmSong is titled "Butt of the Joke," though there aren't actually many butt jokes in the song itself, just IncrediblyLamePuns.

* BodyHorror: Not only is he clearly beaten up and malnourished after spending 10 years in a small room, when he started using the magic to make Minotaurs, it melted away his skin and fur until only his skull was visible and his horns and body ended up being horribly deformed, eventually transforming him into the horror known as The Nowhere King.
