* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Killed by Dippler in a DuelToTheDeath in revenge for the murdered Log-a-Log. Dippler notes to the dying Fenno that if he were doing this trope properly, he should have fatally stabbed Fenno in the back.
* RightBehindMe: While a captive of Mokkan's, when the fox goes off scouting, Fenno tries to encourage the rats holding him captive to [[TheMutiny mutiny]] and mocks them for their superstitious fear of the Marlfox brood, disparaging the foxes in the process. Then Mokkan [[WalkInChimeIn having snuck up behind Fenno without being seen]], makes a wise crack at the shrew's expense before pummelling Fenno for amusement.
