** MakeMeWannaShout: Several Bluocyte bosses, the blue Divibeast, and the Killer Cubivore once on his last leg (literally).

''Cubivore: Survival of the Fittest'' is a [[QuirkyWork very odd game]] released for the UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube in 2002, where you play as an animal who eats other animals in a law-of-the-jungle world. The game was originally developed for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 Disk Drive before shifting to the standard [=N64=] and finally the [=GameCube=], the reason for its low-res cubic art style (in fact, a leaked prototype of the [=N64=] build is virtually identical to the [=GameCube=] release barring the console logo and controller buttons). A Cubivore is basically an animal head with strategically positioned flaps of limbs called meat stuck to either its body or other meat flaps.

* GottaCatchEmAll: Collecting mutations is the driving game mechanic. [[spoiler: If you don't get one hundred mutations by the end of the bird lap, you're sent back to the pig lap for a second run until you get one hundred forms.]]

* WarriorPoet: Your character frequently composes poetry about killing, eating, and mating. [[spoiler: As you progress through the Bird Lap, your character gradually dispenses with the poetry and replaces the rhymes with screams of bloodlust.]]

The sister game to the popular ''VideoGame/{{Animal Crossing|2001}}'' (which was also first developed for the [=64DD=], but actually saw a Japan-only release for the standard [=N64=] before being ported to the [=GameCube=]), ''Cubivore'' never caught on like its counterpart. Plans for an official localization from Creator/{{Nintendo}} were dropped, leading Creator/{{Atlus}} to swoop in and localize it in their stead.

The primary mechanic of the game involved collecting combinations of colors, which allow the player's cubivore to mutate into different color-coded species with different abilities. These combinations start out as light or dark solid colors or mixed light and dark, but progress to "Rage" colors which require different mixing principles to form "Clash" species. The goal of the game is to obtain 100 different mutations and confront the Killer Cubivore to restore Wilderness and life to the world.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: When successfully pulling off an "Eat 'n Run", the eaten monster's head creates a fountain of blood. Eating also regularly results in the monster expelling blood. Yet the game still is rated E.
