* TimeLimitBoss: [[spoiler: Aquila's boss battle is a lot more dire than most since they need to be defeated quickly in order to prevent Excalibur from launching. You have 240 seconds (''4 real-time '''uninterrupted''' minutes'') to do it or it's automatically GameOver. Aquila outright says that since they have no battle experience, they can't hope to defeat Verm's group; they just need to buy enough time for the weapon to fire.]]

* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: Mention is made of "Muswolves," but they're implied to just be a myth. "Ghosts and muswolves" is a Rodentian idiom that seems to basically mean "that sounds like superstitious nonsense."

However, ghosts ''are'' seen at a few points in the story, and Vinium's new champion gladiator is said to be a muswolf... [[spoiler:but it's just {{kayfabe}}]].

* VoiceOfTheLegion: Most Titans speak in a large, jagged font, befitting their nature as terrifying monsters to mousekind. Some of them are able to affect a less intimidating voice, like Diego when speaking to his friend Leo, or [[spoiler:Lamia until her HorrorHunger kicks in]]. At the end of the game, [[spoiler:Verm speaks in such a font when he tells the fallen Yellow God to "RUN."]]

* SuperweaponSurprise: Averted. [[spoiler:The royal court of Murida is aware of the threat the Yellow God poses, and is prepared to defeat it by dropping "Excalibur" on it: an unexploded, salvaged World War 2-era bomb from the Blitz. The problem is that while this would certainly kill the Yellow God, it would also obliterate half of Murida, killing tens of thousands of rodents -- and for King James and Aquila, this is the ''point''. The party therefore has to sabotage Excalibur to prevent it from being launched, and defeat the Yellow God the hard way.]]

Misuse (the Trope is for when something feared in a live-action story is played by a scary but harmless creature, not when an otherwise harmless creature is genuinely a threat in a specific context).


* TerrifyingPetStoreRat: The "titan" Tiger is a regular, well-fed orange housecat. Unfortunately, you are ''mice''.

* HazmatSuit: [[spoiler:The Yellow God of Death is, in actuality, just an ordinary human exterminator in a protective yellow suit so he isn't exposed to the DeadlyGas he uses for his job.]]



* LifeOrLimbDecision: [[spoiler:With Lance killed by the Yellow God]], Verm decides to cut his own tail to get out of the mouse trap and escape.



* ThePowerOfFriendship: The [[spoiler:Yellow God as the FinalBoss can grab a character and attempt to subject them to Lance's fate in the prologue by repeatedly crushing them... but this time round, you have allies and dealing enough damage (including bleed damage) to the hand that grabbed them will release the character, saving them]].



* SeeminglyHopelessBossFight: The final battle against [[spoiler:the Yellow God has Verm's party attacking the boss' feet, which have ??? HP each and damaging them doesn't put a dent in their health bar. Verm fortunately decides that the strategy isn't working and they need to get higher, causing the party to fight the boss' much more vulnerable hands]].

* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Plaguemaster Aquila]] crossed this long before the game's events, when [[spoiler:they read a book that detailed the irreparable destruction wreaked on the environment by humankind. It was this that convinced them that the both the human and rodent worlds were beyond salvation]].



* TimeLimitBoss: [[spoiler:The battle against Plaguemaster Aquila has a four-minute time limit before they launch Excalibur, killing a huge portion of Rodentia.]]

* CassandraTruth: When Verm and Lance first fight past the bandits blocking the way to Heaven, the bandit leader uses his final breaths to tell them that it's been taken over by a Yellow God of Death. Lance tells Verm to disregard the warning as the final ramblings of a villain that wants them to suffer, but it soon turns out to have been completely honest.
