*** Of special note is the fact that the Void Eater's megadestructive nature renders it capable of ''killing everything in the nest'' -- up to and including the TrueFinalBoss, should you ever be unlucky enough to face both it and the Void Eater at the same time.
** Amalgams... just Amalgams. They can eat other glooples, can [[AsteroidsMonster split into more Amalgalms if they're hit or get too large]], and take a lot more hits than one would expect. They also remain in the battle even if chased offscreen, unlike other glooples.
** Grinders could be considered one as well. Made out of living rock, these guys need to be subjected to an explosion, a collision with a solid object (another Grinder, a Gray, or an Instant Wall; Sharps don't count), or a puddle of acid to weaken the outer coating, and then you have to hit the damn thing five times before it gives up and dies. It's also the largest gloople short of the final boss. [[spoiler:The Razor Glaive can break the shell in one hit, and kill it with two more.]]

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: This is the Gray's main form of attack. However, it's [[TacticalSuicideBoss unable to harden its body while doing so]], allowing you a chance to damage it.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: [[spoiler:The Razor Glaive; it does triple the damage, has superior reach, and can do several things that the Splatmaster3000 can't (such as batting away Horrors and weakening Grinders.) However, it's quite heavy, so wielding it slows you down a bit.]]
** As mentioned above, many enemies (like enemies that generally take more than one hit to kill) become laughably easy if you have the [[spoiler:Razor Glaive. Its reach is even larger than the Splatmaster 3000, which means you can probably kill enemies with dangerous close range attacks, such as [[BossInMookClothing Void Eaters]].]]
*** On the other hand, in order to get aforementioned InfinityPlusOneSword, [[spoiler:you have to beat the monstrous Razor Queen in single combat. The Razor Queen is a ludicrously huge, mutated Queen that's five times tougher and has an annoying habit of being vulnerable only in front -- which is also where its huge claws are.]]

* KungFuProofMook: Sharps. As soon as these guys sense danger, they turn into an invulnerable ball of spikes. Once their perceived threat is gone, they switch back to their original form, where you can kill them in one hit. 
** You can deflect Sharps while their spikes are out, and the game even recommends knocking them out of the screen in order to get rid of them; however, because of the way you swing your sword, you tend to knock it away in a curved path rather than a straight line, which makes getting it off the screen a rather challenging task. Oh, and it's entirely possible to [[YetAnotherStupidDeath "deflect" a Sharp right into your face]].
** Grinders cannot be initially harmed in any way due to their extremely hard rocky exterior, until you soften/crack them via Meltie Acid, grenades, a Torchie explosion, another Grinder crashing into it, tossing an Instant Wall in its path, having it collide with a hardened Gray, or luring them into a Void Eater's shockwave/disintegration range. (Amusingly, the Grinder is perfectly capable of flattening a Void Eater even after being nailed with its shockwave or kill-beam, though it will just bounce off of a Gray.)
*** Easier if you have the [[spoiler:[[InfinityPlusOneSword Razor Glaive]], since the first hit cracks it and it only takes three hits after that]]. The recoil from the first hit might give other enemies a chance to kill you, though (if the Grinder doesn't just roll right over you, that is.)
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: The Queen is the ''only'' gloople that's red in color '''and''' has gold claws. [[BossFight Uh oh]]...

to:

* KungFuProofMook:
** Grays harden to block your attacks, and are only vulnerable when attacking. The same is true of Horrors, except they can attack while defending and are only vulnerable when using a specific attack.
** Sharps. As soon as these guys sense danger, they turn into an invulnerable ball of spikes. Once their perceived threat is gone, they switch back to their original form, where you can kill them in one hit. You can deflect Sharps while their spikes are out, and the game even recommends knocking them out of the screen in order to get rid of them; however, because of the way you swing your sword, you tend to knock it away in a curved path rather than a straight line, which makes getting it off the screen a rather challenging task. Oh, and it's entirely possible to [[YetAnotherStupidDeath "deflect" a Sharp right into your face]]. [[spoiler:The Razor Glaive can kill them with the spikes out.]]
** Grinders are even tougher. Not only are they immune to the sword, trying it won't change their course and stuns you briefly, potentially letting them run you over. They have to be soften/cracked via Meltie Acid, grenades, a Torchie explosion, another Grinder crashing into it, tossing an Instant Wall in its path, having it collide with a hardened Gray, or luring them into a Void Eater's shockwave/disintegration range in order to harm them. (Amusingly, the Grinder is perfectly capable of flattening a Void Eater even after being nailed with its shockwave or kill-beam, though it will just bounce off of a Gray.) [[spoiler:Even the Razor Glaive, though it can crack their shell, isn't strong enough to prevent you from being stunned.
** Queens [[spoiler:and the Razor Queen]] are only vulnerable to attack when attacking, and will otherwise block your attacks with their own sword-limbs (or dodge).
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: The Queen is the ''only'' Gloople that's red in color '''and''' has gold claws. [[BossFight Uh oh]]...

* OneHitPointWonder: LOTS of lethal stuff in this game. Although getting "bumped" cannot kill you, pretty much anything else will. Getting lit on fire will not kill you instantly, but you will die if you don't put it out on time.
** Reactive armour will allow you to become a ''two'' hit point wonder. Meltie Acid, Grinders, and Void Eater rays will still instantly kill you, though.
*** The reactive armour also (somewhat) protects you from certain attacks without being destroyed in the process, such as Gray's spike and [[spoiler:Razor Queen's spikes it shoots at you (But not those spikey balls).]]
* PersonalSpaceInvader: The clutters, if you don't have armor. They slow you down unless you shake them off.
* RuleOfThree: Some of the tougher glooples take three hits to die instead of one, such as Oozles, Fuzzles, and Grays.
* ScoringPoints: For each Gloople you splat, you earn "bounty"; this bounty is multiplied if you splat several glooples in one swing.
* SetAMookToKillAMook: Sorta... Grinders and Sharps will chase after the player while destroying most weaker glooples in sight, so you can use them to your advantage to clear the way of GoddamnedBats like Biters.

to:

* OneHitPointWonder: By default, getting hit by any attack will instantly kill you. Although getting "bumped" cannot kill you, it can leave you open to something that will. Fire is also not immediately lethal, but you better hope there's a Frostie or a Stickie to douse the flames.
** Reactive armour upgrades you to a ''two'' hit point wonder, making it so that any lethal attack causes an explosion to wipe out the attacker and anything else nearby. It also guards you against attacks that would normally be lethal, namely projectile attacks. Meltie Acid, Grinders, and Void Eater rays will still instantly kill you, though.
* ThePenIsMightier: Parodied. As the game points out, there is no pen, and the sword is [[{{BFS}} really big]].
* PersonalSpaceInvader: The clutters, if you don't have the environmental armor. They slow you down unless you shake them off.
* RuleOfThree: Some of the tougher Glooples take three hits to die instead of one, such as Oozles, Fuzzles, and Grays.
* ScoringPoints: For each Gloople you splat, you earn "bounty"; this bounty is multiplied by how many Glooples were killed in that swing.
* SetAMookToKillAMook: Sorta... Grinders and Sharps will chase after the player while destroying most weaker Glooples in sight, so you can use them to your advantage to clear the way of GoddamnedBats like Biters.
