* HoistByHisOwnPetard: A heroic example. Shrinking Rae's attempt to return to her normal size inside Komodo Dragon's body backfires horribly because he's [[SuperToughness too durable for her to burst out of]], leading her to [[FoldSpindleMutilation seemingly get crushed to death by his innards]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Rex, and likely the audience, expect Shrinking Rae to easily bust right out of Komodo Dragon with her SizeShifting powers, invoking KillItThroughItsStomach. Unfortunately, Komodo's [[SuperToughness durable]] and Rae [[RequiredSecondaryPowers is not]]. Rae ''can't'' break through his body even from the inside, resulting in her getting [[FoldSpindleMutilation crushed from inside of him]].

** While Black Samson [[LockedOutOfTheLoop thought he came to a breakthrough about it]], everybody else knew that Shapesmith was a Martian basically from the moment he got there. Besides his [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial obvious lack of humanity]], he just so happened to act as a replacement to Martian Man who was known to have his shapeshifting powers thanks to being a Martian. Put two and two together, and...

* WhatTheHellHero: When Cecil reveals that he preserved Donald's brain, placed it into a cyborg body, and had his memories of dying in the explosion removed, Donald calls him out on doing this without his knowledge and consent, as well as [[LockedOutOfTheLoop keeping him in the dark about it]].

* ItOnlyWorksOnce:
** Shrinking Rae kills Salamander by jumping inside his eye and expanding inside his skull. When she tries the same trick on Komodo, he snatches and swallows her instead. There, he is able to crush her inside him with his SuperToughness when she tries expanding.
** After having such good results eating Rae, Komodo tries a similar tactic chomping Rex's hand off even with an explosive pellet in it, but this time he's not durable enough to avoid YourHeadAsplode.



** Similarly, while Rae has the ability to KillItThroughItsStomach via her size changing, that hinges on her target being weak enough to not handle an entire person suddenly pushing against the walls of their body. Komodo's insides prove to be far too durable for her, and so she ends up crushed inside him while he's unaffected.

Shrinking Rae is confirmed to have survived in the next episode, changed the trope examples to match this.


* BondOneLiner: PlayedForHorror. To confirm Shrinking Rae's death from the crushing muscles of attempting to expand inside his body, Komodo Dragon says "yum..." for how delicious it was to kill her in his stomach.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: After spending most of the show being treated as a joke, the Lizard League gets to show just how deadly they can be in the right circumstances. With only Rex Splode, Shrinking Rae, and Dupli-Kate to fight them while the team's heavy hitters are off in outer space, the Lizard League's battle with the heroes ends in a blood bath on both sides, with Komodo Dragon killing Shrinking Rae, possibly killing Dupli-Kate, and biting off Rex's hand before dying to the latter's explosive. By the time battle is over, Rex is the only one standing and left at the mercy of King Lizard.
* PopGoesTheHuman: Subverted. Shrinking Rae attempts to expand inside Komodo Dragon after he swallows her, but he's tough enough that he's able to overpower her growth and crush her to death inside him.

* LogicalWeakness: Dupli-Kate can spin off a clone to avoid death, but she needs to have free movement to spawn one. Komodo catches her before she can create a replacement and his massive grip around her waist blocks her powers. Although she manages to struggle free just long enough to get one clone out, he grabs that one too and smashes the pair into a gory mess before either can make a third.
