** {{Averted|Trope}} with The Fox and the Cat. As Pinocchio, The Fox and the Cat are all punished at different stages of the book for their varying levels of wickedness, and the good characters (e.g. Geppetto, the Fairy, the Talking Cricket, and sometimes Pinocchio as well) tend to be miraculously rewarded in the most unlikely ways, it may be a safe assumption that the villains of the book (none of which get any comeuppance except for the Fox and the Cat) are headed for trouble as well.

* MassTransformation: All the boys including Pinocchio were having fun in the Land of Toys, until a few months later when they all get turned into donkeys. The Land of Toys has a law that whenever everybody slacks off, they get turned into donkeys as a result. The coachman had waited patiently for the boys to get turned into donkeys so he could sell them as slaves.

* GreenAndMean: The Green Fisherman, a ghastly [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation green skinned]] and green haired fellow with a big appetite for fish who catches Pinocchio from the sea and attempts to fry him believing that he's some sort of rare fish, even though Pinocchio tells him he's not and begs for his life. He also responds aggressively when Alidoro comes to his cave hoping to get a fried morsel. Thankfully TheDogBitesBack upon noticing Pinocchio in peril.
