History Literature / Wereworld

* DropTheHammer: The Behemoth's weapon of choice is a massive hammer.

* RatedMForManly: For a Young Adult fantasy novel it is about as manly as it can get, a '''''Welcome''''' relief from ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' and other books like it.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: There's Florimo, who is a Were-Tern. Terns aren't particularly well-known seabirds.

%%* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:Drew.]]

* {{Groin Attack}}: Becomes a running gag throughout the series, mostly with either Drew using one on the Ratlords or vice versa.

** [[spoiler: High Lord Oba the Werepanther, who saw humans as nothing more than slaves, is killed by the humans Bo Carver, Reuben Fry and Pick]]

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Vala the Serpent and Lord Ignus the werelizard.

* ActionGirl: Gretchen and [[spoiler:Whitley.]]

* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:Drew.]]

* SarcasticClapping: Leopold is quite fond of this.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Count Costa the Werevulture is usually seen with General Gorgo the Werehippo, until circumstances force them to fight away from each other.

* WhiteMage: Hector again.

* AffablyEvil: Count Vega.

* ALoadOfBull: There's Duke Brand the Werebull and the werebuffalos Stamm and Baron Overmeir.

* BadassNormal: Several humans - in fact, it's three humans who take out [[spoiler: Highlord Oda.]]

* BaldWoman: Lady Opal.

* DeadlyDecadentCourt: What we see of Leopold's allies in court seems to fit the bill. Their actions at a banquet in the first book are not described charitably.

''Wereworld'' is a series of fantasy novels by Curtis Jobling and published by Puffin Books UK.

* AGodAmI: Vala the Wereserpent is worshipped as a goddess by the Wyldermen, and she sure loves being worshipped as one.

** Darkheart the Wylderman wants revenge on Drew for killing his father Blacktooth (in self-defense).

* Heavy Hippo: General Gorgo the werehippo.

* WrittenByTheWinners: {{Discussed|Trope}} regarding King Wergar. The current king, Leopold, trumpets on about Wergar's warmongering and is what Drew has grown up to be. Starngely enough, even his former friends have a mixed opinion about the ex-king, although the general picture of him is that he saw the world as white & black; if you weren't his friend, you were his enemy. However, he was beloved by his ''own'' subjects. The trope is [[PlayingWithATrope played with]] regarding [[spoiler:Count Vega]]. Hector briefly refers to the trope, before the man himself appears and proves that he really is a jerk. ''Then'' he starts helping Drew and remains on his.

* ALoadOfBull: There's Duke Brand the Werebull and the werebuffalos Stamm and Baron Overmeir.

* TheDragon: Vankaskan and his brothers.

* HeinousHyena: Lady Hayfa, the Werehyena, who has fought against King Faisal for control of Omir for years.

* IGaveMyWord: The Hairless Ape.

* [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Children]]: This is how Bast keeps the werelords in check.

** [[spoiler: Vankaskan]] is treated as this in-universe, though [[spoiler: the sheer amount of BodyHorror may count]].

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:Duke Manfred outlives his youngest son Milo. Even worse, Duke Bergan outlives both his children.]]

* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Baba Korga is introduced in Book 2, but Trent finds out in Book 3 that she died months ago; the current one is an imposter.]]

* AnyoneCanDie: Book 1 isn't too bad, but Book 2 starts thinning the herd significantly, and thinning it ''fast''.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Count Vega. Sure, the first thing he does is [[spoiler:kidnap Drew and co.]], but he adopted Casper and looks after Hector in later books.
