* PoweringVillainRealization: In "The Troll", a troll attacks the fortress of Baaaaa-halla. As the Baaaaa-hallans attack, Wander just curls up by the fireplace. Sylvia at first thinks he's just being lazy, but as it turns out, the troll is an EmotionEater; it taunts the Baaaaa-hallans, and their angry reactions [[MakeMyMonsterGrow make him bigger and stronger]]. When he gets to Wander and starts taunting him, Wander does nothing... and the troll starts shrinking. Sylvia sees this and realizes what Wander is doing, and convinces the Baaaaa-hallans to also ignore the troll, until it shrinks down to a few inches small.

* NoodleIncident: So why were Wander and Sylvia falling in the beginning? Well...
-->'''Sylvia:''' You don't have to say it. Shortcuts through asteroid fields? ''Not'' the best idea.



* PaperThinDisguise: Wander's bad guy disguise is just a simple mustache.
* SecretIdentityVocalShift: While Wander is pretending to be "Wild Wooly Wander", he deepens his voice by several decibels and fakes a slight rasp.



** What's more, one of the first times the troll grows in response to the reaction of someone he's just insulted, Wander smirks and rolls his eyes wryly, as though ''he'' [[GenreSavvy recognizes]] what not to do.

* PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep: The troll's voice gets gradually deeper the bigger he gets. When he shrinks, it gets high-pitched.



* SheatheYourSword: Turns out giving the troll attention and giving into his insult gives him more power that strength alone can't beat. But once the Baaal-Halla warriors realize this, they cease their attack and just ignore him. He loses power as a result till he's nothing but a tiny speck desperately shouting for attention.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BadassMoustache: Wander wears one while pretending to be tough.

-->'''Sylvia:''' Wait a flarpin' second. You're all a bunch of ''fakers'', aren't you?! Just like Wander was!



* GeniusDitz: Wander refuses to help the sheep fight the troll and instead lazes out in front of the fire. The audience at first thinks he's crazy (just as Sylvia points out), but it all changes once the troll comes upon him and Wander ignores him all the way through.
