* DaylightHorror: One of the show's earliest and most intense moments: the Gobblewonker ([[spoiler:even if it's ultimately a robot]]) is played more like a wild animal or dragon than a standard "horror" monster, and the ensuing chase makes clear it doesn't give a ''damn'' about sunlight, open spaces, or other witnesses being just a stone's throw away.

* CaveBehindTheFalls: Becomes relevant when Dipper frantically flips through the Journals mid-chase and thinks there might be a cave behind a waterfall. Mabel calls back, "''Might'' be?!" before, wanting for other options, they shoot through it and true enough, there's a cave that brings them beyond the monster's reach.

Daylight Horror is no longer a trope, don't link it anywhere.


* DaylightHorror: The Gobblewonker is the show's first and probably biggest example (last episode's Gnomes being a borderline case, assembling at sunset and all). In a setting where most nasties (even Bill) prefer showing their faces at night, and the handful that don't verge more on UrbanFantasy than outright horror, this thing has absolutely ''no'' problem making our heroes run for their lives in mid-afternoon, through a crowded public area to boot.
