Gray Eyes is now a disambig per the appearance trope thread and is being dewicked.

*ArmorPiercingQuestion: In Panzen's entry, Winston points out the fact that his desire to work behind the scenes isn't really useful for getting more positive exposure for his species.

*PlayingWithFire: In his entry, Panzen sets Umozozi and Josefina alight.

** '''Ian [thinking]:''' Combat wasn't decided by having a nice chat about feelings and motivations.



* WhatYouAreInTheDark: A rather literal example in Panzen's round: alone in the dark, except Ian, he has to decide to leave her to, if not die, potentially lie there helpless in the dark with the creepy voices around her. [[spoiler: He doesn't.]]

*WallCrawl: Panzen can't quite do this thanks to the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RealityEnsues laws of physics]], but he combines it with something similar to LeParkour - his geckolike feet and sharp claws make him able to get to high or otherwise unreachable places in a similar manner.
