Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Scavengers are portrayed as evil and dishonorable.
* '''Straight''': In the work "The Adventures of Leo the Lion", vultures are the primary antagonists.
* '''Exaggerated''': Every scavenging species is portrayed as AlwaysChaoticEvil. Odd, considering [[FridgeLogic lions have also been known to scavenge on occasion...]]
* '''Downplayed''':
** The vultures are only secondary antagonists.
** Calling them "scum" is certainly a stretch, but they aren't necessarily "good" either.
* '''Justified''': There's some kind of FantasticRacism or AnimalJingoism between scavengers and non-scavengers in the work.
* '''Inverted''': Scavengers are portrayed as heroes.
* '''Subverted''': Leo meets a vulture that he becomes friends with.
* '''Double Subverted''': The vulture [[TheMole betrays him]].
* '''Parodied''': A lioness tells her cub, "Hunt well, or you'll end up like him" while pointing to a vulture eating a carcass, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything in a similar manner to how parents in real life sometimes tell the same things to their children regarding garbagemen]].
* '''Zig-Zagged''':
** The vulture that betrayed him then has a HeelFaceTurn and genuinely changes for the better.
** Some scavengers in the work are dishonorable, but some aren't.
* '''Averted''':
** There are no scavengers in the work.
** Scavengers are relatively decent characters.
* '''Enforced''': A form of GoodAnimalsEvilAnimals: "If the heroes are already predatory species, how do we [[ViewersAreMorons let the audience know]] which ones are the bad guys?" "Make the bad guys scavengers."
* '''Lampshaded''': "Vultures sure are mean, aren't they?"
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': The scavengers decide to become nicer characters.
* '''Discussed''': "When did we start treating scavengers so badly?"
* '''Conversed''': "I almost never see the scavenger cast as the hero. Why is that?"
* '''Implied''': A character mentions interacting with unpleasant scavengers.
* '''Deconstructed''': Scavengers are ostracized by the rest of the characters in the work, causing the friendly ones to feel [[FantasticRacism discriminated against]].
* '''Reconstructed''': However, over time scavengers become more welcomed in society.
