History WesternAnimation / Wakfu

Not to be confused with [[ImageBoards Waifu]], WokFu or WaifFu.

''Wakfu'' is a 2008 French cartoon by Ankama Animation set within the world of an MMORPG of the same name, which is set 1000 years after the production company's other MMO, ''{{Dofus}}''. The whole show is completely kid-friendly, since the target audience is [[AnimationAgeGhetto 8-10 years old]], but tons of jokes are aimed [[ParentalBonus directly at older audiences]] and [[PeripheryDemographic fans of the game]], is full of FanService, and the plot itself [[CerebusSyndrome matures]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids enormously]].

''Wakfu'' is considered a [[SeriesFranchise "cross-media"]], consisting of the animation, the [=MMOG=], and a trading card game. However, the animation has generated four other [[SpinOff Spin-Offs]] by itself: a series of shorts called ''Mini-Wakfu'', which supplies some useful [[AllThereInTheManual background information]] on the two games (''{{Dofus}}'' and ''Wakfu''); a browser-based MMORPG, ''Wakfu: The Guardians'', which uses the same engine as ''{{Dofus}}'' and allows the player to "replay" the episodes of the series through small dungeons, with characters similar in appearance and powers to [[TheHero Yugo]]; a series of graphic novels titled ''Wakfu Heroes''; and a BeatEmUp called ''Island of Wakfu'' for the XboxLiveArcade that acts as a {{Prequel}} for the series.

''Wakfu'' is considered a [[SeriesFranchise "cross-media"]], consisting of the animation, the [=MMOG=] (still locked in [[DevelopmentHell beta]]), and a trading card game. However, the animation has generated four other [[SpinOff Spin-Offs]] by itself: a series of shorts called ''Mini-Wakfu'', which supplies some useful [[AllThereInTheManual background information]] on the two games (''{{Dofus}}'' and ''Wakfu''); a browser-based MMORPG, ''Wakfu: The Guardians'', which uses the same engine as ''{{Dofus}}'' and allows the player to "replay" the episodes of the series through small dungeons, with characters similar in appearance and powers to [[TheHero Yugo]]; a series of graphic novels titled ''Wakfu Heroes''; and a BeatEmUp called ''Island of Wakfu'' for the XboxLiveArcade that acts as a {{Prequel}} for the series.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: All four ugly princesses, to Sadlygrove, in episode 4.
* AbnormalAmmo
** Evangelyne's arrows can ''create rain'' if shot at a cloud.
** The Black Raven has the ability to shoot ''[[RuleOfCool bird eggs that hatch in mid-air and become Raven Rounds]]''. And that's [[JustifiedTrope pretty much par for the course]] -- shooting ravens is actually a power of the Black Raven's race/class from the game (Osamodas' Whip): the spell "[[http://dofuswiki.wikia.com/wiki/Crow_%28spell%29 Crow]]" (in ''{{Dofus}}'') and "Cry of the Crow" (in ''Wakfu'').
* {{Acrofatic}}
** The Dragon-Pig
** The Mmmmmmmmmporpg
* ActionBomb: The Noxines. Nox tries to take out Grougaloragran with a swarm of them exploding with wakfu when close enough to the dragon.
* ActorAllusion: In episode 14 of season 2, [[PunnyName Shanon Stone]] gets [[BasicInstinct interrogated and changes the position of her legs to which we only see the shocked reaction]] of Ruel, Sadlygrove and Yugo.
* AdiposeRex: King Sheran Sharm
* AdorableEvilMinions: Both Nox and Rushu have some pretty cute {{Mooks}}.
* AfroAsskicker: Ruel's grandmother, who has a head of white hair bigger than she is.
* AgonyOfTheFeet
** In episode 22, Sadlygrove (suffering from a heat stroke) is wary of the mirages he's been seeing, so he gives one a good kick (barefoot) -- only that one wasn't a mirage.
** Shortly happens to Yugo in season 2 episode 1, from a gerbil's bite.
** In season 2 episode 5, [[spoiler:Sadlygrove]] gets bitten by the [[spoiler:Evangelyne]] pig.
** Ruel gets his foot stomped by his grandmother in season 2 episode 7.
* AirborneMook: The Noxines
* AirGuitar: The Brak'n'Boyz, the rock group cheering for the Brak'n'Black during the Brâkmarian Gobbowl match.
* AlienInvasion: Revealed to be [[spoiler:the reason why the Eliatropes had to leave their world]] in season 2 episode 6.
* AllJustADream: [[spoiler:A big chunk of episode 20.]] [[MindScrew Thank.]] [[NightmareFuel Crâ.]]
* AllThereInTheManual: The series is based off of a Tactical MMORPG by the same name, which is in turn based off an ''older'' Tactical MMORPG called ''{{Dofus}}''.
* AllWebbedUp: Happens to the heroes in episode 13, thanks to Grufon possessing an arachne.
* AlwaysABiggerFish: Spoofed and {{exaggerated|Trope}} in season 2 episode 21. A monster pursuing the girls is replaced by a bigger one not once, but ''four'' times in short succession.
* {{Ambadassador}}: Master Joris
* AmplifierArtifact
** The Eliacube. Nox planned to use it to boost his time-manipulation powers and travel back 200 years. [[spoiler:And when Yugo gets his hands on the Cube in episode 26, it boosts his usual portal power, teleporting the whole Giant Clock mecha to Mt. Zinit.]] The prequel episode "Noximilien" reveals that [[spoiler:Nox had no particular talent for magic before he found the Eliacube]].
** Also, Igôle's collar.
* AmusementPark: The Trool Faire.
* AmusingInjuries: Regularly.
** Amalia gets a lump and a black eye before the first Gobbowl match. And ends up in a full-body cast after the second.
** Yugo, Sadlygrove, Evangelyne and Amalia after they stepped into Ruel's shovel trap in episode 9.
* AncientAstronauts: [[spoiler:The Eliatropes]], as we learn in season 2 episode 6. [[spoiler:It turns out that Mount Zinit is actually a space ship.]]
* {{Angrish}}
** Amalia in episode 8.
** Kriss Krass is reduced to this toward Jay at the end of the Bontarian Gobbowl match.
* AngryDance
** The Bullies in episode 5 shortly performs a Haka-like dance before the big fight.
** So do the Sadida warriors in episode 19.
* AngryGuardDog: Ruel's house has one. Doesn't look like much... until [[{{Sizeshifter}} it grows]].
* AnimalEaredHeadband
** Yugo's hat resembles this.
** All the cheerleaders (including Eva and Amalia) in the Bontarian Gobbowl arc wear bunny-eared headbands.
* TheAnimeOfTheGame: A Western Animation example, though the ''Wakfu'' universe is technically cross-media. Subverted somewhat in that the game is not released yet (though it was originally supposed to be released in early 2009, before the series started), and in fact is, after a couple of open betas, [[DevelopmentHell entering closed beta for the fourth time for yet more retooling]]. The game is also explicitly set a decade or so before the series. (Yugo's adoptive father Alibert is one of the few [=NPCs=] in the game, and Yugo is upstairs in his house as an infant.)
* {{Animesque}}: With some {{Fanservice}} thrown in for good measure.
* AnnoyingArrows: Averted; the arrows made of pure light that Evangelyne and other Crâ shoot are quite deadly. It's a shame about [[ATeamFiring their aim]].
* AnotherDimension: The World of Rushu.
* AntiMagic: A special device with mobile eyes can nullify magic powers. One is seen in the prison of the Justice Knight, and another in the catch arena of the Trool Faire.
* {{Arcadia}}: Amakna, Emelka and the outer boundaries of Bonta.
* TheArcher: The Crâ class, including Evangelyne.
* AristocratsAreEvil
** The Brâkmarian nobles. [[spoiler:They were planning to use The Mmmmmmmmmporpg as a weapon against Bonta.]]
** Remington's nemesis, Ush Galesh, who is, in addition to being one of wealthiest individuals in Bonta, is an insatiably sadistic murderer and just happens to be [[spoiler:the son of Ecaflip, and therefore a demigod.]]
* AnArmAndALeg: Qilby, who lost his left arm.
* ArmorPiercingSlap: Evangelyne's favorite hand-to-hand attack.
* ArtifactOfAttraction / ArtifactOfDoom: The Eliacube. [[spoiler:In "Noximilien", it induces unhealthy obsession in Igôle, then with Nox, leading to paranoia and delusions of grandeur. The loss of his family is more the last straw pushing him over the edge after a long descent than a real trigger for his madness. Whether the artifact can really talk to Nox or the Xelor is just hearing voices is left unclear, but the latter is more likely.]]\\\
No wonder [[spoiler:Yugo is ''extremely wary'' of using the Cube at the beginning of season 2, even in order to discover the fate of his people, fearing that he could become like Nox]].
* ArtificialLimbs: [[spoiler:Qilby fusing with the Eliacube as a replacement arm.]]
* ArtShift
** Can be seen in episode 14, when the tribe's old chief, Botan Ficus, tells his story. The flashback is in a primitive/tribal art form.
** Also, a minor one in episode 12 ("Gobbowl Hell 3"), with an artist making a very stylized painting of the heroes.
** During the brawl in episode 19, there's a few shots who clearly mimics the style of ''StreetFighter IV'' art.
** The specials, like ''The Legend of Ogrest'', are in a different art style than the main series.
* AsteroidsMonster: Mocked during the season 1 TitleSequence, with Yugo jumping onto some sort of gelatinous cube monster who splits into many smaller, cutesy-looking cubes.
* AtArmsLength: [[spoiler:Sadlygrove does this to Eva]] while she's trying to retrieve her diary, in season 2 episode 6.
* AttackReflector: Yugo's portals can be used to this end.
* AuraVision: Dragons do this; it's how Grougaloragran chose Alibert to be Yugo's adoptive father. [[spoiler:Eliatropes can do it, too.]]
* AuthorAvatar: Xav the Baker is inspired by the character designer of the series, Xavier Houssin. Xav's wife and children are also inspired by his own family.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking
** Sadida king Sheran Sharm;
** Prince Armand;
** Master Joris, "ambassador" of the Bontarian king.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Kabrok and his [[CatGirl Ecaflip]] wife, Miranda.
* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:Kabrok and Miranda]], as seen during season 1's end credits.
* BackToBackBadasses: Evangelyne and Remington in "Rubilaxia".
* BadassCape
** Vampyro. ''His cape flaps dramatically all by itself''.
** Sadlygrove's scarf also seems to function as one when he is trying to act dramatic. This being Sadlygrove, that is quite often.
** Remington Smisse
* BadassCreed:
-->'''Smisse Monde:''' If it moves, kill it! If it shines, plunder it!
* BadassGrandpa
** Ruel might be old, but he is suggested to being the strongest of the Brotherhood.
** His grandmother as well.
** Grougaloragran, for being [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld at least 1,000 years old]].
* BadassNickname
** Spoofed with "The Black Raven" (see below).
** The Masked Gobbowler, a.k.a. [[spoiler:Maude]].
* BadBoss
** Nox wastes his minions for the slightest objections or speaking at the wrong time.
** Rushu terrifies even the major Shushus. He's seen using minor ones as projectiles, and incinerates a bunch of his minions just because they're in the way and he's in a hurry.
* BadGuyBar: To some extent every bar in Brâkmar. Though you have to make a reservation before starting a BarBrawl.
* BadMoonRising: In season 2 episode 5, the moon shortly appears to have a pig's face on it, [[spoiler:as a warning of the Dragon-Pig's ire]].
* BagOfHolding
** Ruel's Havresac, which is big enough on the inside to contain a [[HammerspaceHideaway portable house]].
** Remington has a Shushu Havresac.
* BaguetteBeatdown: The "Breadnought" in episode 8.
* BalefulPolymorph
** In episode 4, the four Ugly Princesses are victims of this, thanks to a curse from the god Osamodas. Also applies to [[TheFrogPrince the princes turned into frogs]].
** Grany Smisse was permanently changed into a bow-meow (think housecat) sometime in the backstory of season 2. He still retains the power of speech, though.
** In season 2 episode 5, [[spoiler:Amalia, Evangelyne and Yugo are all changed into cute piglets by a magic trap, leaving Sadlygrove to save the day]].
* BalloonBelly
** Yugo at the end of episode 6.
** Az in season 2 episode 1, after feasting on Alibert's food, almost triples his size.
* BandageBabe
** Princess Erpel from the fourth episode is (intentionally) the FanDisservice type.
** Xelors who aren't cursed with ugly also apply to this trope.
* BandageMummy: Amalia ends up in a full-body cast in season 2 episode 12.
* BarBrawl: In episode 10 of season 2.
* BarehandedBladeBlock: Grougaloragran can do this, but of course, he ''is'' a dragon.
* BareYourMidriff
** Amalia
** All the cheerleaders (including Eva) during the Bontarian Gobbowl arc.
** [[spoiler:Male Evangelyne]] during the Brâkmarian Gobbowl arc.
** Elaine
* BaseOnWheels: Not perfect examples, but having shades of this:
** Nox's clock base
** Rubilaxia
* BashBrothers
** Yugo and Adamaï.
** Remington and Grany Smisse, [[spoiler:until the latter got... "bow-meow-fied"]].
* BattleAura
** The final scene in episode 12 gave one to all of the Gobbowl players.
** Also Yugo and Nox in episode 25 after using the Eliacube.
* BattleCouple: After much dancing around the issue, [[spoiler:Sadlygrove and Evangelyne]] finally upgrade to this in episode 25 of season 1.
* BattleDiscretionShot: Sometimes.
** In season 1 episode 6, the battle against the ghouls inside the inn. Note that the heroes are also [[ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction busy getting dressed while brawling]], so this gives them a little privacy.
** In season 2 episode 5, [[spoiler:Sadlygrove's fight against the {{Golem}} MidBoss]] is only shown through its image on the map fissuring.
** In season 2 episode 7, the start of the fight inside the gondola. RuleOfFunny more than anything else here, to point out that the air pirates are no match against the heroes.
** Most of the BarBrawl in season 2 episode 10.
* BattleInTheRain: The final battle in episode 26, with Adamaï and Yugo versus Nox, happens in the rain at Mt. Zinit. It is used to great visual effect when [[spoiler:Nox stops time, and the raindrops first stop falling, hang in the air... and then rise upward when he reverses time]].
* BeamOfEnlightenment
* BeamOWar: Between Yugo and the Voice Thief in season 2 episode 14.
* BeardOfEvil: Remington Smisse
* TheBeastmaster: The Osamodas class.
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Anathar with his red/black Shukrute portals instead of Yugo's blue/white Wakfu portals. He is even able to surpass the two-simultaneous-portal limitation.
* BellyMouth: Anathar
* BeQuietNudge: After Sadlygrove starts to blurt out that [[spoiler:he'd already seen Evangelyne naked]], Eva, while denying, casually chokes him with an arm around his neck to stop him from adding a word.
* BerserkButton
** Don't mention Armand's bad breath to his face.
** [[spoiler:Rubilax threatening to turn Evangelyne into a ghoul]] is what provokes Sadlygrove's UnstoppableRage in episode 22. In fact, almost every time Grovy's CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass comes out, it's in response to Eva being in danger ([[{{WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous}} or being hit on]]).
** Don't call The Mmmmmmmmmporpg by his [[EmbarrassingFirstName birth name]]. No, seriously, don't. Unless, well, you want ''the whole town razed''.
* BeyondTheImpossible: Nox's whole plan of [[spoiler:traveling back in time]], something which even the god of time, Xelor himself, can't do.
* {{BFS}}
** Rubilax in full combat mode;
** The Black Raven's huge sword-lance hybrid;
** Remington's sword Shushu;
** Bourlof the Butcher
* BigBad
** The first season introduced [[AntiVillain Nox]] the Xelor, a magic-powered [[PunkPunk Clockwork]] "Time Magic" user.
** Season two gives us [[OmnicidalManiac Rushu]], the [[EvilOverlord ruler]] of the [[CardCarryingVillain Shushu]], but it now seems like [[spoiler:Qilby, after [[TheReveal showing his]] [[IncrediblyLamePun true colors]]]] has taken the spot.
* BigDamnHeroes
** In episode 24, when Sadlygrove frees Evangelyne from Deserboss' TentacleRope.
** Ruel and his DrillTank in episode 25. [[spoiler:Though he manages to save Evangelyne, he's too late to save Sadlygrove.]]
* BigNo
** Adamaï at the end of episode 16.
** Nox in the season 1 finale.
* BigShadowLittleCreature: Moon's entrance in episode 14.
* BigShutUp
** Mandale the Bullies chieftain, twice in episode 5.
** King Sheran Sharm in episode 24, when both Amalia & Armand and Canar & Renate are bickering loudly at the same time.
** Remington Smisse, whenever his half-dozen Shushus get too chatty.
-->'''Remington:''' SILENCE, SHUSHUS! Can't hear myself killing, here!
** Rushu is fond of doing this to assert his authority.
* {{Birdcaged}}: Elaine in episode 19 of season 2.
* {{Bizarrchitecture}}
** Nox's Giant Clock Mecha is a mindbending clockwork nightmare, as much from the outside than from the inside.
** The cursed castle of the ugly princesses is quite weird too.
** Many of the decrepit buildings in Rubilaxia qualify, as well.
* BizarreAndImprobableBallistics: Evangelyne's arrows, sometimes. Notably the homing frost arrow in episode 24.
* BizarreSexualDimorphism: Male Sadidas have their faces entirely covered in green hair (even the young ones); females are more human-looking.
* BlankWhiteEyes: This is pretty much the visual cue to possession, since it happens to anyone who loses control of themselves:
** The mind-controlled Sadidas in episode 24.
** [[spoiler:Amalia, who was "friendly"-possessed by the Tree of Life,]] in episode 25.
** [[spoiler:Amalia and Ruel, when their shadows are stolen by Shadofang,]] in season 2 episodes 3 & 4.
* BlessedWithSuck: Sadlygrove's sword is the prison for a demon. While it makes it a potent weapon, it can in turn possess him if he lets his guard down.
* BlindfoldedVision: Yugo in episode 21, but only temporarily.
* BlindingBangs: Princess Lela's cursed form; Chamberlain Thickdruft and a few other Sadidas.
* BlingOfWar: The Justice Knight's armor and weapons are made out of gold.
* BlobMonster
** The Dripples ("Flaqueux") in episode 5 are Blob People.
** An authentic BlobMonster appears in episode 7 from a broken potion flask.
* BloodSport: Gobbowl
* ABloodyMess: In episode 13, to fit with the overall horror-spoof theme, Sadlygrove spreads red berry juice everywhere.
* BodyCountCompetition: [[spoiler:Sadlygrove and Rubilax]] have an impromptu one in season 2 episode 9. Problem is, [[spoiler:Sadlygrove can't count]].
* BondVillainStupidity: Rushu. Wanting to play games with the heroes [[spoiler:gives them a chance to escape, although Remington and Grany don't quite make it]].
* BountyHunter: Alibert and Ruel's previous occupation. It's when Alibert decided to quit because he was too soft-hearted that Grougaloragran left baby Yugo in his care.
* BowelBreakingBricks: In season 2 episode 21, Encre Noire the octopus captain squirts a puddle of ink underneath him at the sight of a tidal wave about to engulf his ship.
* [[ABoyAndHisX A Boy and His Tofu]]: Yugo & Az
* BreakTheCutie
** Oh Crâ, episode 19. [[spoiler:Sadlygrove, possessed by Rubilax, proceeds to crush both forearm and bow of LoveInterest Evangelyne in one grasp. The tears of physical and emotional pain she show afterwards are enough to cause a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment in Sadlygrove, who is arguably also made a broken cutie.]]
** And again in episode 25. [[spoiler:Eva just can't catch a break.]]
** She was ''this close'' to being even more broken when [[spoiler:Amalia became a tree]]. It was averted that time, thank Crâ, but poor Eva seems like a CosmicPlaything...
* BreathWeapon
** Grougaloragran has an extremely versatile and powerful fire breath that he uses liberally in either dragon or humanoid form.
** Adamaï can also do it, though with far less power.
* BrickJoke: The ending credits sequence of season 2's episode 8 features the same tied-up bandits from the previous episode.
* BridalCarry: Sadlygrove with Evangelyne, shortly on their first encounter, then [[spoiler:inside Eva's dream]] in episode 20, and in episode 24 [[spoiler:after he saves her from Deserboss]].
* BringIt: Sadlygrove to the Sadida warriors in episode 19.
* BrokenPedestal: Yugo is initially in awe of the Justice Knights, but once he finds out how callous and hypocritical they are, and that even career criminals like Remington Smisse are capable of noble acts, he isn't quite as taken with them as he once was.
* BubblePipe: Shanon Stone owns one with a cigarette-holder look.
* BulletTime
** Ruel dodging [=McDeek=]'s energy blast in episode 9.
** About any important action in the Brâkmarian Gobbowl match, thanks to Slo-Mo the Xelor referee.
* BurningRubber: The Mmmmmmmmmporpg leaves a trail of fire behind him whenever he uses his SuperSpeed.
* BusmansVocabulary: Quite frequent.
** Amalia uses metaphors and expressions based on plants all the time. Later episodes show us that most [[PlantPeople Sadidas]] do this.
** Likewise, Ruel's speech often alludes to money or wealth (and shovels).
** Minor characters are also on it; Xav the Baker and his father Ratafouine are constantly referencing bread and baking.
** Even Nox isn't above making regular clocks or time-related quips.
* TheButcher: Bourlof ("le dépeceur" in the original French).
* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: [[spoiler:Rubilax and Grany]]'s eyes are still visible from inside Anathar's belly.
* CableCarActionSequence: The air pirates attacking the gondola transporting the heroes in season 2 episode 7.
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Piwis (birds), Tofu (other birds), Gobballs (sheep), Bow-meows (cats), Wabbits (rabbits)...
* CallBack
** Several Call Backs in Season 2 Episode 2-3 to Season 1 Episode 6, with the return of Vampyro's castle and his ghouls.
** Season 1 Episode 9: "I don't like clicks..." Season 2 Episode 5: "I really don't like clicks..."
* {{Calvinball}}: Gobbowl. It seems pretty straightforward at first... but rules get thrown out the window about halfway through. In Bonta, a totem pole rises out of the ground and inflicts some effect [[AudienceParticipation chosen by the audience]] on the field, just for fun. And in Gobbowl, cheating is part of the sport.
* TheCameo: Tons and tons. We can split them up in to types:
** Internal cameos, which show characters from previous (or future) episodes out of context. For example, you can see two of the princesses from episode 4 in the crowd in episode 10.
*** Goultard's mother is in the background in episode 3, heaving a heavy basket exactly like her initial appearance in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfpQV8-68XM a previous Ankama short film]].
*** [[spoiler:Ogrest, the monster that started the troubled age of ''Wakfu'' all by himself,]] makes a brief appearance in episode 26. You'd have to know the universe's backstory to understand what he's doing there, or even ''who'' he is, since it's not explained in the episode.
** External cameos, which display some of the author's tastes in anime and series. Frequently in the background or in a crowd.
*** {{Anime/Naruto}}
*** [[{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}} Fry and Bender]]
*** [[Anime/UFORoboGrendizer Goldorak]]
*** [[Manga/DragonBall Kuririn and Master Roshi]]
*** [[StreetFighter Akuma]]
*** [[Manga/OnePiece Monkey D. Luffy]]
*** [[{{Manga/Bleach}} Ichigo Kurosaki]]
* CameraAbuse: Ankama seems to like this way of PaintingTheFourthWall.
** Jactance fogging the "camera lens" in season 1 episode 12.
** Season 2 episode 2 also has raindrops or mud visibly splashing the "lens".
** And in season 2 episode 7, the "camera" is broken by a cannon projectile!
* CampGay: Canar and Renate don't even ''try'' to be subtle about it. Renate himself is named after the ''fabulous'' Renato from the film/musical ''LaCageAuxFolles''.
* CantLiveWithoutYou: The Tree of Life holds the lifeforce of the whole Sadida people. [[spoiler:Which means that when it is drained of all wakfu in episode 26, everyone of them turn into inert stumps, including Amalia.]]
* TheCape: Justice Knight
* CapitalCity: Bonta
* CaptainMorganPose: Sadlygrove after becoming Wabbit king in episode 15 of season 2.
* CaptainObvious: Sadlygrove. Lampshaded in season 2 episode 10.
* CardCarryingVillain: Rushu, and most of the Shushus.
* CarpetOfVirility: [[spoiler:Male Evangelyne and Amalia]] during the Brâkmarian Gobbowl arc.
* CatapultNightmare
** Poor Sadlygrove has one at the beginning of episode 22.
** Adamaï also has one in episode 24, after receiving a dream warning from the Tree of Life.
* CatchPhrase
-->'''Yugo:''' Cool!
* CatGirl: Kabrok's wife who is an Ecaflip, and by extension all Ecaflips.
* CaughtInASnare: The net version in episode 5 -- self-inflicted on Amalia and Evangelyne.
* CaughtTheHeartOnHisSleeve: Eva does a variation of this in episode 25 with Sadlygrove's ScarfOfAsskicking.
* CensorSteam: The ShowerScene in episode 22.
* CerebusSyndrome: The show starts off as very fun and colourful, and even the tragic BreakTheCutie moment in episode 19 is created by somewhat silly circumstances (namely [[spoiler:Sadlygrove insulting Armand's halitosis, and Armand [[WhipItGood spanking him repeatedly]] with a vine whip]]). But once you hit episode 24, Ankama takes all of your silly expectations of an innocent Saturday-morning kid's cartoon and utterly shatters them by delivering the darkest, most tense, and most heart-breaking season finale French animation has ever seen.
* ChainedByFashion: Anathar, after escaping from the Justice Knight's prison, keeps the enormous manacles and chains around his huge wrists.
* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: Just before the Bontarian Gobbowl match, at the doors of the stadium, Ruel's team players get outfitted -- which is okay since the gear is mostly put above their regular clothes. But Amalia and Eva also get to change into cheerleader outfits at the same time, while in the previous scene they were [[LimitedWardrobe dressed as usual]]. [[FridgeLogic When (and where) did they do that?]]
* CheekyMouth
* ChestInsignia: "J" for the Justice Knight.
* ClaspYourHandsIfYouDeceive: Done by the Justice Knight.
* ClickHello: Remington does this to Evangelyne in season 2 episode 2.
* {{Cliffhanger}}: An infamous one at the end of episode 15, which acted as a mid-season break while Ankama and France 3 worked on finishing future episodes and scheduling. Not knowing what would happen to the heroes who were [[spoiler:caught in dragon's breath]], and knowing that the answer was only going to come ''six or seven months'' later was quite annoying.
* ClockPunk: Not applicable to the whole setting, but frequent examples show up.
** Nox's creations are all based on intricate clockwork design, from his GiantMecha Watch, to his {{Clockwork Creature}}s like Razortime.
** The cable-car manned by Ruel's grandmother.
** The home base of the Justice Knight and his Justice Train.
* ClockworkCreature: The Noxines; Razortime
* CloseCallHaircut: Done with the hair on Yugo's hat during his fight with Nox.
* ClothingDamage
** Grougaloragran's humanoid form during the fight against Nox's puppets.
** Nox's armor takes quite a beating in the same episode, revealing his Xelor wrappings.
* CollapsingLair
** [[spoiler:Nox's clock]] in the final episode of season 1.
** [[spoiler:Rubilaxia]] in season 2 episode 4.
* ColorCharacter: The Black Raven
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Wakfu glows in different ranges of turquoise while Stasis glows in ranges of purple.
* CombatCommentator: The brothers Jactance (the Bontarian) and Tendinite (the Brâkmarian).
* CombatSadomasochist: The Sacrier class, including Kriss Krass.
* CombatTentacles
** Grougaloragran as a GiantSquid makes heavy use of them.
** Anathar can conjure pitch-black tentacles directly from Rushu's dimension through portals. They're agressive enough that they even seize their summoner if he gets too close.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint
** In episode 1, while Rubilax destroys Alibert's inn.
-->'''Yugo:''' Dad, customers are leaving without having paid.
** In episode 4 with the volcano inside the castle.
-->'''Yugo:''' What is a volcano doing here?\\
'''Amalia:''' Well, they have to warm this huge place somehow.
** In episode 13, Eva is kidnapped in front of Yugo and Amalia, and Amalia becomes completely upset because Eva's hair is messy.
* CompanionCube: The Eliacube, which is regarded as sentient by Nox. Whether it really is or not has been left unclear.
* ConspicuousCG: The Golems in episodes 8 and 23.
* ConsultingMisterPuppet: Sybannak talking to a small rock.
* ContemplativeBoss: Nox at the end of episode 24. He also does this for a big part of the battle in episode 17, [[spoiler:not even caring about Grougaloragran, who he lets his puppets take care of]].
* ContinuityCameo: Despite being placed a thousand years later, the series continuously makes references to the original ''{{Dofus}}'' game and universe.
** The most obvious example would be the animated trees in episode 2: the episode references a story from one of the ''Dofus'' comics, ''Le Chêne Mou''.
** [[spoiler:Goultard]], a major character of the ''{{Dofus}}'' comic, makes an appearance in episode 22.
** [[spoiler:Ogrest]], an important background character of the ''Wakfu'' game, makes a brief appearance in episode 26.
** ''Wakfu'' is also big on cross-media. Most places from the series can be found in the SpinOff MMORPG, ''The Guardians''.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: Brâkmar is built on volcanic ground, with lava rivers flowing below several parts of the town, which should make the whole city too hot to be liveable. The Gobbowl Stadium itself is above a lava lake.
* CoolTrain: Property of the Justice Knight.
* CosmopolitanCouncil: The Council of the Twelve, which consists out of the leaders and nobles of the twelve races. [[AndZoidberg And the Prince of Brâkmar.]]
* CouchGag: Yugo flies towards the episode's antagonist at the end of each TitleSequence of season 1. For episodes not centered on Yugo, it's Sadlygrove who jumps towards the antagonist.
* CoupDeGrace: Narrowly averted in episode 26; [[spoiler:Yugo wanted to finish off Nox but was distracted by Ogrest's roar]].
* CrackingUp
** Nox's head tilt in episode 26.
** Also done by The Mmmmmmmmmporpg with his neck.
* CrazyPrepared: Pandiego de la Vega in episode 13 of season 2.
* CreativeClosingCredits: The credits of each episode have a small scene acted out by a character or characters from that episode alongside them. The first four episodes are simply the main characters [[BreakingTheFourthWall introducing themselves]], but the following episodes all have little skits attached.
* CreepySouvenir: [[spoiler:Qilby's collection of various animals from all the planets the Eliatropes harvested.]]
* CrossingTheDesert
** Yugo in episode 21.
** Sadlygrove in episode 22.
* CryCute: Evangelyne ([[{{Tsundere}} who else?]]) has [[http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e397/I_am_Latia/WHYSOMOEEVA2.jpg two]] [[http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e397/I_am_Latia/EvaCriesandsodoIcopy.gif moments]] in the season 1 Finale.
* {{Cult}}: The Cult of Ogrest.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Evangelyne in high heels, in episode 4. [[spoiler:Which gives you a hint that it's not really her when she's dancing in heels]] at the beginning of episode 22.
* CuteLittleFangs: Amalia; Evangelyne; Sadlygrove; Yugo...
* CuteMonsterGirl: The Sram class fits the trope to a T.
* CuteShotaroBoy: Of all people, Ruel when he was a child.
* CyberCyclops: The Noxines; Razortime
* CypherLanguage
** Draconic runes are a cypher for French; the code is in the series' art book.
** The Brâkmarien alphabet.
* DarkestHour: The season 1 finale.
* DarkSkinnedRedhead: [[spoiler:Sadlygrove after his makeover.]]
* DeadlyDodging: Another use of Yugo's portals, by going through them or having the enemy going through them. A good fighting tactic against Igôle in episode 21, [[spoiler:which finally results in the beast going down a chasm. This only slowed it for a while, though]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Evangelyne; Ruel
* DeathCourse
** The treasure room security in episode 9.
** The Dragon-Pig's lair in season 2 episode 5.
* DeathGlare: Ruel's grandmother will give you one if you ever say the word "borrow". Or "discount". Or "refund". Or... well, any suggestion you could pay less than her tariff.
* DelayedCausality
** Sadlygrove's sword slashes often go according to this, but they split stuff immediately just as often according to {{Rule of Drama}}. For example in episode 20, when he [[spoiler:slices up the arthropod monster in Evangelyne's dream]].
** Also, the snow sculptures sliced in halves by Ruel in episode 17.
** Remington's boomerang has this effect on buildings.
* DemonicPossession: Shushu guardians technically exist to ''prevent'' this from happening, but Sadlygrove is not very good at it, and has been possessed by Rubilax on more than one occasion.
** In episode 6 [[spoiler:Vampyro is revealed to be Shushu guardian Wagnar, corrupted by Shadofang]].
** Rubilax has also possessed [[spoiler:Amalia's vegetal doll]] in episode 7.
** In episode 25, [[spoiler:Rubilax possesses Sadlygrove once more, but left him in control, since the possession was consensual this time]].
** Grany Smisse has this happen to him on purpose in season 2.
** In season 2 episode 2, we learn that [[spoiler:Rubilax had taken complete control of Sadlygrove's human body, leaving Sadlygrove trapped inside of Rubilax's sword]]. This is remedied a few episodes later.
** Anathar was the Shushu possessing [[spoiler:the Justice Knight's father]].
* DemonLordsAndArchdevils
** Rushu the Lord of Shushus;
** Osamodas, who, while being technically regarded as a god, is just a very powerful demon.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment:
-->'''The Justice Knight:''' Justice calls for[[LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand ...]] Justice!\\\
'''Jactance:''' This is literally '''literal'''!!
* DepthDeception
** Played with in episode 14 with Moon's entrance, with shadows and a close-up obfuscating temporarily the fact that the monkey isn't quite the expected size.
** Also when Rubilax [[spoiler:is freed from the sword]] in episode 22; it isn't immediately obvious that [[spoiler:he's half Sadlygrove's height. He doesn't stay that size for long, though]].
* DespairEventHorizon
** In episode 25, when [[spoiler:Sadlygrove dies]]. Everything from Eva's reaction, to the fact that even Rubilax is visibly saddened by it combines to create an utterly crushing moment. And as if to defy the very idea of a DespairEventHorizon, it proceeds to [[ItGotWorse get worse]].
** Arguably [[spoiler:Nox]] manages to cross it twice. The first time [[spoiler:when he finds out his wife and children are dead, which causes the entire events of the first season,]] and the second [[spoiler:when he finds out that despite all the effort he went through to go back in time to prevent said deaths, that ultimately his plan was impossible and that all the people he killed will not only stay dead but that all his effort was for nothing. This drives him to kill himself]].
* DestructiveSaviour: It seems that every time our FiveManBand tries to save a village from invaders, they level at least half of it in the fight anyway.
* DetectEvil: Grougaloragran can see auras and detect evil. Unfortunately, the heroes accidentally spurs the ancient dragon to attack by [[spoiler:travelling with a [[SealedEvilInACan Shushu]]]].
* {{Determinator}}
** Sadlygrove. He seems to have gotten this from his mentor, [[spoiler:Goultard]].
** Also, Nox, in an obsessive, highly demented sort of way.
* DeusExMachina: Twice in episode 25. First when [[spoiler:Ruel saves Eva and Amalia from Razortime by crushing his arm with his DrillTank out of nowhere]], and second when [[spoiler:Master Joris saves now the three of them from Nox's creation by destroying it with a single hit]]. Both were conveniently too late to prevent [[spoiler:the death of everyone's favorite IdiotHero]].
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Grany Smisse is used as a diversion to distract Rushu.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Episode 25 has [[spoiler:Sadlygrove dying in Evangelyne's arms]].
* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Remington and Grany]] in episode 3 of season 2.
* DistractingDisambiguation: While fighting a villain named "[[ShapedLikeItself The Black Raven]]", Yugo makes the point that ''all'' ravens are black. The team then immediately drops what they're doing in order to work on a better name for him.
* DistressedDamsel
** Parodied in episode 4, with Sadlygrove lured into the cursed castle by a promise of Damsels in Distress... to [[DistressedDude end up in the role]], captured by the Ugly Princesses.
** This happens more often to Evangelyne than Amalia. Even lampshaded in episode 18:
-->'''Amalia:''' Why is she always the one getting kidnapped? ''I'm'' the princess!
* DistressedDude
** Sadlygrove in season 1 episode 4, "Miss Ugly".
** Yugo in season 2 episode 4, [[spoiler:"Sadlygrove's Return"]].
** Ruel in season 2 episode 5, "The Dragon-Pig".
* DivineIntervention: Spoofed in episode 16 when Ruel asks Enutrof himself for a miracle to [[spoiler:avoid being eaten by Grougaloragran]], promising to "double his offerings" if his prayer is answered. This results in [[spoiler:Enutrof manifesting with a ray of light to tell Ruel that "Two times zero still equals zero"]].
* DoesNotLikeShoes
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In the episode "Cleophee", Sadlygrove tries to use Rubilax in the ring (by making him grow bigger). After a couple of failed attempts, he adds "I'm sorry, this is the first time this has happened to me."
** Amalia is most usually barefoot (except during both Gobbowl arcs, in the polar region in episodes 17-18, or when dressed in full princess regalia).
** Sadlygrove seems to have lost his shoes sometime after episode 22.
* TheDollEpisode: Nox shows his talent for mechanical {{puppet shows}} in the bonus episode, but that was just the precursor to his puppet shows recreating [[spoiler:his family life before he found the Eliacube]] in episode 24. Logically it should be touching that he's made a puppet show to remind him of that, but it's just [[NightmareFuel really, really creepy]].
* DoNotTauntCthulhu: In season 2 episode 9, [[spoiler:Sadlygrove]] quickly learns that lacking respect for Rushu is suicidal.
* DoomedHometown: Emelka. Within the first episode, it's wrecked by a monstrous possessed berserker and attacked by vengeful forest spirits that turn many inhabitants into plants. Sure, they got better, but then they're paid a visit by a crazy time mage right afterwards...
* DoorstopBaby: Yugo
* DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler:Sadlygrove by Rubilax instead of entering Heaven]], as seen in season 2 episode 4.
* TheDragon: Anathar, to Rushu.
* DramaticGunCock: A very shotgun-esque one by the bamboo squirt guns in episode 13 of season 2.
* DramaticThunder
* DramaticUnmask
** The Black Raven tries one, but the [[FailedAttemptAtDrama drama fails a bit]] from the helmet being shortly stuck.
** The Masked Gobbowler has a straighter example.
* DramaticWind: Lampshaded in episode 6.
-->'''Yugo:''' Look at his cape! It's moving by itself!
* DrillTank: Ruel has one that he uses in episode 25.
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Nox]] in the credits of episode 26. After realizing that [[spoiler:the Eliacube won't let him travel 200 years back in time and he has no way of seeing his family again]], he simply lies down and dies next to [[spoiler:their gravestones]]. Of course, [[spoiler:he was long dead anyway, only kept alive by the power of the Eliacube. His body turns to dust and blows away, leaving only his armour and bandages behind]].
* DrunkenBoxing: Pandawas
* DubNameChange: The German dub renames the entire FiveManBand.
** Yugo -- Yago (This one's justified in that "Yugo" is considered offensive slang in Germany.)
** Tristepin Percedal -- Tristamax Percidral
** Evangelyne -- Angelya
** Amalia -- Amaya
** Ruel Stroud -- Ruel Struut
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Qilby
* DumbMuscle: The Iop class, including Sadlygrove.
* DungeonCrawling: A few of the heroes' adventures. The Dragon-Pig's lair in season 2 episode 5 hangs a lampshade on the whole thing, with a map alluding of the traps to come, and a few meta references to online [=RPGs=].
* DynamicEntry
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Debatable. On the one hand the overall tone of the season 1 ending fits with this trope, on the other hand [[spoiler:the heroes don't actually earn the ending themselves. The villain does succeed in defeating them, but his actual plan fails simply because it never would have worked in the first place, regardless of what the heroes did]].
* TheEasyWayOrTheHardWay: Remington Smisse, on his first confrontation with Evangelyne. With rhymes to boot.
* EenieMeenieMinyMoai: A fox version thereof in episode 15 of season 2.
* EggMacGuffin
** [[spoiler:Grougaloragran]]'s dofus in the second half of season 1.
** [[spoiler:It hatches]] in season 2 episode 6, passing the baton to Shinonome's dofus for the rest of the second season.
* Egopolis: Rubilaxia.
* ElementalPowers: Yugo and Nox use space and time, respectively, and the Sadidas control plants (the Chinese element wood). On the minor characters' side, Vampyro (or rather [[spoiler:Shadofang]]) can control darkness/shadows, and (if you really want to stretch the definition of "element") Chouquette can control pastries.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: The Mmmmmmmmmporpg's true name is [[spoiler:Marylin]]. It's also his BerserkButton.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Sir Sadlygrove Percedal has a real name much cooler than his nickname, which is either "Grovy" or "Dally" depending on if you subscribe to fansubs or the official English translation. It's even worse in the original French: Sadlygrove's name is originally Tristepin (an almost literal translation), and his nickname is "Pinpin". His master, [[spoiler:Goultard]], calls him "Pipoun". Guess you can't go lower than that for a fearsome warrior.
* EmpathicEnvironment
* EmpathyDollShot: In the village devastated by Rubilaxia.
* EnemyMine: Evangelyne and Remington Smisse against [[spoiler:Rubilax's ghouls]] in "Rubilaxia".
* EnergyBall
** Razortime fire balls of "Pure Stasis". It's the most deadly weapon the heroes have faced so far.
** Adamaï can also shoot small wakfu balls ([[EpilepticTrees though they're the same color as Stasis]]), notably in his fight against Igôle.[[invoked]]
* EpisodeTitleCard: With the start of season 2.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The "Female Captain".
* EveryoneMeetsEveryone: The first two episodes.
* EverythingsBetterWithChocolate: [=McDeek=] is defeated by chocolate.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses
** Amalia, who is also a RebelliousPrincess.
** Episode 4 is packed with both real and fake ones.
* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench: Devons-nous en dire plus ?
* EvilLaugh
** Nox has an especially demented one.
** ''Evangelyne'' does an honorable attempt in episode 13.
** Lampshaded in season 2 episode 3 when Remington berates Grany for copying his laugh.
* EvilPlan: While its evilness is [[GreyAndGrayMorality arguable]], Nox's plan is to drain the wakfu of more or less everything in order to [[spoiler:turn back the wheels of time to before his family died]].
* EvilWeapon
** Rubilax; see SealedEvilInACan.
** Season 2 episodes 2-3 are loaded with weapon Shushus of every kind.
* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: Evangelyne against Remington in season 2 episode 2 -- her light arrows didn't miss, she was aiming at crashing a house on him. Same thing with [[spoiler:her recall arrow, as she wasn't aiming it at Rubilax like he'd thought]].
* ExpansionPackPast: Ruel, who was among other things a Gobbowl star and a rockstar.
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: The Sadida children in season 2 episode 6, about [[spoiler:the Ginger Warrior, savior of their people]].
* ExpressiveHair: Sadlygrove's ShonenHair, sometimes, like when it flops at the sight of [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Ruel's giant guard dog]].
* ExpressiveMask
** Smisse Monde and his pirates;
** Remington Smisse;
** The air pirates in season 2;
** Justice Knight
* {{Eyedscreen}}
* EyesOfGold
** Qilby
** Elaine
* FacePalm
** Sadlygrove often inspires this to his friends, usually accompanied by them calling him a "[[{{Baka}} Iop brain]]". Eva goes for the [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Wakfu_Facepalm_9735.jpg two-handed facepalm]] in episode 19 when Grovy gets himself into a duel with Prince Armand.
** Jay the Iop also spurs Kriss Krass to facepalm during the Bontarian Gobbowl match.
** Rushu facepalms when he thinks Anathar has just crushed his precious Eliatrope prisoner.
* FacelessEye: Rubilax, as well as many other Shushus imprisoned in items.
* FacialCompositeFailure: The poster of Nox's minions done by Renate in episode 24 results in [[spoiler:Yugo and Adamaï being fired upon by Crâ border guards]].
* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:Ruel in episode 22 of season 2.]]
* FailedAttemptAtDrama: Sadlygrove is a repeat offender.
** One of the most drawn-out example is certainly during the Bontarian Gobbowl arc, after the start of the second quarter-time. Grovy seizes the ball to everyone's surprise and runs, along with a very uplifiting music, dramatic echo of Ruel's earlier psych-up speech and SplitScreenReaction of everybody else... and he scores! Except it is revealed after a few seconds of shocked silence that [[spoiler:he scored against his team. Cue the public rolling in laughter, and his teammates barely preventing Ruel from strangling Sadlygrove.]]
* {{Fainting}}
** This can happen to Ruel when he has no choice but to spend his money.
** Slo-Mo the Brâkmarian referee faints twice at the sight of women actually playing Gobbowl.
** Elaine faints after Evangelyne and Cléophée "delicately" propel their boat down a cliff.
* FanDisservice
** Ruel's "ugly princess" disguise in season 1 episode 4. As well as the real Ugly Princesses in general.
** Sadlygrove's ImagineSpot of [[spoiler:a gender-bent Eva in very feminine and sexy clothes in season 2 episode 11]].
* {{Fanservice}}: Some notable instances:
** Episode 4: SheCleansUpNicely, ModestyTowel, FootFocus, MaleGaze, and ImpossiblyLowNeckline.
** Episode 6: GoGoEnslavement, SexyBack...
** The girls as Cheerleaders in the Bontarian Gobbowl arc.
** Episode 22: MatingDance, ShowerScene, ShirtlessScene...
* FanserviceExtra: Many, ''many'' background characters.
** Chochanna, the baking contestant from episode 8.
** The Red Gobballs' Eniripsas (healers), as well as {{the Cheerleader}}s, PitGirls and some female spectators during the Bontarian Gobbowl arc.
** In season 2 episode 11, an extra who had been gender-bent by a magic potion suddenly returns to her female form... topless.
* FantasticNuke: Grand-scale wakfu explosions.
* FantasticScience
** The "magical science" of the Eliatropes.
** Also how Nox studies time magic.
* FantasyCharacterClasses
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Pandala is a mix somewhere between China and Japan.
* FantasyPantheon: The twelve gods of [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment the World of Twelve]].
* FarmBoy: Yugo being raised by Alibert, the owner of the local inn and mayor of the peaceful, rural Emelka.
* FastballSpecial
** Ruel propels Yugo toward the MonsterOfTheWeek at the end of every season 1 TitleSequence (save a few with Sadlygrove).
** Rushu and Anathar plain and simply use minor Shushus as projectiles -- while keeping count of their scores.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Rubilax
* FictionalSport: Gobbowl -- but apparently no longer as Ankama has held a real-life tournament.
* FinaleCredits: Episode 26's credits show most of the secondary characters [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue and what they've become]]. ''[[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Awwwww.]]'' [[spoiler:Except for Nox, who turns into dust on top of his family's grave.]]
* FindTheCure: Episode 7.
* FingerlessGloves: Part of Evangelyne's season 2 outfit.
* FingerTwiddling
* FireBalls: Bound to show up when Grougaloragran fights in humanoid form.
* FiveManBand
** Yugo is TheHero;
** Sir Sadlygrove Percedal is TheBigGuy (and also TheDitz and the IdiotHero);
** Ruel Stroud is the CoolOldGuy with shades of TheSmartGuy;
** Evangelyne is TheLancer;
** Amalia is TheChick;
** And then there's Az the Tofu, a small bird-thing that can only be the TeamPet.
** By that proxy, [[spoiler:Adamaï]] is TheSixthRanger in season 1, and [[spoiler:Cléophée]] in season 2.
* FlamingSword: Bourlof the Butcher
* {{Flashback}}
** How the Ugly Princesses received their curse in episode 4.
** Botan Ficus telling the backstory of the Kaniboules in episode 14.
** Sadlygrove talking about his past adventures over [[spoiler:Goultard's tomb]] in episode 22.
** Qilby narrating [[spoiler:the backstory of the Eliatropes and dragons]] in season 2 episode 6.
** Ruel remembering his childhood in season 2 episode 7.
* FlashbackEffects: Various.
** Mostly by using ArtShift, as with Botan Ficus or Quilby's flashbacks.
** The scenes illustrating the Ugly Princesses' story are surrounded by FlowerMotifs.
** The ones from Sadlygrove in episode 22 use the same naïve and SuperDeformed style than ''Mini-Wakfu''.
** Ruel's flashback in season 2 episode 7 is [[DeliberatelyMonochrome desaturated]], and with the sound and quality of a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_8_mm_film Super 8 film]].
* FloatingContinent: The landscape of Rushu's World is mainly constitued of floating landmasses.
* FloatingInABubble: Yugo and Az in episode 15.
* FlowerInHerHair: Amalia. It stays alive due to her Sadida powers, as seen when it begins to wilt in episode 7 after she has been poisoned. As if not enough, she sometimes adds another flower on the opposite side.
* FluffyCloudHeaven: Parts of Incarnam.
* FluffyTamer: Lotie the Osamodas (the little girl from episode 23).
* {{Flynning}}: Intentionally used during the pirate assault in episode 18, as a parody of swashbuckling movies.
* FogFeet
** [=McDeek=] the Genie, in his true form, has a long trail of purple smoke instead of legs.
** Rushu, lords of the Shushus, is a special case: his lower body is replaced by searing flames.
* FollowTheBouncingBall: The opening of episode 14 of season 2 has this -- with a Tofu, fittingly.
* FoodPorn: The show sometimes delves into this, with for example Yugo's blanquette or the feast at the end of the Bontarian Gobbowl arc. And then there's the whole of episode 8 and its bakery contest; even its MonsterOfTheWeek can make you salivate.
* FootFocus
** Amalia is constantly barefoot, [[http://animefeet.blogspot.com/2009/11/spellcaster-feet-part-1-amalia-wakfu.html and close-ups are common]].
** Evangelyne has some moments, too (doing cartwheels in episode 4, fighting in nightgown in episode 6...).
* {{Foreshadowing}}
** After episode 25, you will not be able to rewatch the "Gobbowl Hell" arc with anything approaching the same frame of mind. The phrase [[spoiler:"I'm entering into the legend!"]] takes on a whole different meaning.
** [[spoiler:Sadlygrove also mentions his high opinion of a heroic death in Eva's dream]] in episode 20. He does it again during his rallying speech in episode 25.
** There is possible foreshadowing for the end of season 1 as early as episode 2. [[spoiler:He tells Yugo "I shall repay my debt, even at the price of my life."]]
** Yugo's talk with Amalia in episode 13:
-->'''Yugo:''' I love the stars. Sometimes it feels like my real home is somewhere up there.
** [[spoiler:Adamaï]] has been featured in the opening credits since the very beginning.
* ForTheEvulz
** This is the standard motivation for [[CardCarryingVillain Shushus]].
** Remington Smisse sure likes to be a backstabbing dick for the sake of being a backstabbing dick. Even though every act of pointless villainy he commits ends poorly for him.
* FourFingeredHands
** Vampyro's ghouls have four fingers... but when they go back to humans, they get a normal five-fingered hands.
** Ditto with Sadlygrove, when he lets Rubilax possess him.
** And Adamaï while in humanoid form.
* FreezeFrameBonus
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Amalia
* TheFrogPrince: In episode 4. Though it's inverted in that [[spoiler:the princes only become frogs after they have kissed the cursed princesses without being sincere]].
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Nox. From a debt-ridden clockmaker to a destroyer of whole civilizations.
* FrothyMugsOfWater: Aktator the Pandawa is said to have fallen in a barrel of bamboo "milk" when little. In ''{{Dofus}}'', Pandawas actually gain their strength by drinking bamboo ''alcohol''.
* FullMoonSilhouette: Both Evangelyne and Remington is season 2 episode 3.
* FunbagAirbag: Amalia and Evangelyne seem to have some little animals doing this to them...

* FuroScene: Happens in "The Voice Thief" (season 2 episode 14) with Amalia and Eva.
* FusionDance: Ruel's grandmother and her Dhreller can merge before a fight.

* GeneHunting: The most part of the first season revolves around Yugo searching for his origin.

* GenderBlenderName: [[spoiler:Marylin, a.k.a. The Mmmmmmmmmporpg.]]
* GenreSavvy: [[spoiler:Sadlygrove]] in the Dragon-Pig's lair. Because he usually is the ButtMonkey, no-one listens to him. [[BalefulPolymorph Which is a mistake.]]
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Has [[{{Radar/Wakfu}} its own page]].
* GhibliHills: The Forbidden Forest next to Emelka. Honestly, the Polters are even reminiscent of the {{Nature Spirit}}s from ''Anime/PrincessMononoke''.
* TheGhost: The king of Bonta.
* GiantSquid: Grougaloragran's chosen form to restrict the access to Oma Island.
* GigglingVillain: [[spoiler:Qilby]].
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: The Brâkmarian prosecutor.
* TheGlassesComeOff: [[spoiler:Qilby]].
* AGlassInTheHand
** Xav the Baker crushes a loaf of bread in anger in episode 8.
** Rushu crushes his cup at the beginning of the "Rush".
* GlobalCurrency: Kamas.

* GoldTooth: ''All'' of [=McDeek=]'s teeth after he starts absorbing Ruel's treasure.
* {{Golem}}: Several; some are ImprovisedGolems (see below). For the more permanent ones:
** A ''Bread'' Golem in episode 8.
** A Stone Golem in episode 23. [[spoiler:Who keeps picking a new head, with a new power, each time one is destroyed.]]
** Another golem is described as the MidBoss of the Dragon-Pig's lair in season 2 episode 5.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: While normal Xelors sport a white/grey/blue color theme, Nox himself (and his minions) has a dark grey/black/brown one.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Yugo's boxers sport a pair of Tofus.
* GoshHornet: Elaine steps onto a hive and the typical running and jumping into a nearby pond ensues in episode 21 of season 2.
* GrandTheftMe
** What Shadofang plans with Evangelyne's body in "Vampyro".
** [[spoiler:What Rubilax manages to do with Sadlygrove]] pre-season 2.
* GratuitousEnglish
** Every other word that comes out of Yugo's mouth is "[[CatchPhrase cool]]", though it's more of a French colloquialism than intentionally gratuitous English.
** "[[ZergRush Le Rush]]" in the Shushu world.
* TheGreatFlood: Ogrest's Chaos.
* GreenAroundTheGills: Sadlygrove whenever he's aboard a boat.
* GreenThumb: The Sadida people.
* GroinAttack
** Very narrowly avoided in episode 16, when a big stalactite falls right between Sadlygrove's legs -- which Rubilax finds uproariously funny.
** [[spoiler:Rubilax himself, in Sadlygrove's body,]] gets kicked by Evangelyne below the belt line in season 2 episode 3.
** Also happens to Ruel in episode 16 of season 2 by a bratty Iop child.
* GroupHug: One happens in season 2 episode 3 when Yugo, Amalia, and Ruel find out that [[spoiler:Sadlygrove is still alive... except it's quickly subverted, since the body is still inhabited by Rubilax]].
* GrowlingGut
** Yugo in episode 6.
** Yugo, Ruel and [[spoiler:Sadlygrove]] in season 2 episode 5, lengthily, to the point Amalia complains.
* GunsAkimbo: Remington Smisse's dual Shushu pistols.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Evangelyne and Amalia primarily attack from a range, while Ruel, Yugo and Sadlygrove favor more close combat.
* HammerspaceHideaway: Ruel's Havresac.
* HandBehindHead: Yugo does this in episode 6.
* HandOrObjectUnderwear: In season 2 episode 11, the gender-bent FanserviceExtra trying to sneak in the stadium covers her chest with an arm when the potion stops having effect. Later, [[spoiler:the same thing happens to a topless Amalia, who grabs a gobbowl shield to hide herself]].
* HappilyAdopted
** Yugo, by Alibert.
** Elaine.
* HarmonyVersusDiscipline: The concepts of Wakfu (life, creation, nature) and Stasis (death, destruction, machines).
* HartmanHips: Oh, [[MemeticMutation dem hips]]...
* HatDamage: Yugo's hat takes quite the beatdown in episode 26.
* HaveYouSeenMyGod: Besides the [[FantasyPantheon 12 main gods]] there is also the goddess Eliatrope who apparently vanished along with the Eliatropes.
* HeadPet
** Az, sometimes.
** Some Sadidas have whole bird nests in their hair.
* HeartSymbol: Seen occasionally floating around Sadlygrove when he looks at Evangelyne.
* HenpeckedHusband: Kabrok
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Sadlygrove]] in episode 25.
%% HeyItsThatVoice is trivia, and already in the Trivia tab.
* HoldUpYourScore: Sadlygrove in episode 4, when he's judging the beauty... ahem, ugly pageant.
* HoldYourHippogriffs: For any Earth-based expression using an animal, it is replaced with a species from the world of ''Wakfu'' -- though the name used is always close enough to keep the meaning readily understandable. And it's not just animals: the first spoken line in the entire series is roughly, "What the bwork?"
* HollywoodMirage: Happens to Sadlygrove in episode 22.
* {{Homage}}
** Episode 5; the title can be translated as "The Magnificent Five", which is an obvious reference to the 1960s western ''TheMagnificentSeven''. The episode itself is about the FiveManBand [[TrainingThePeacefulVillagers teaching a village how to protect themselves]] from pillagers, which mirrors the plot of the film.
** A good chunk of episode 14 is a homage to ''KingKong'', complete with CannibalTribe, DistressedDamsel, BeautyAndTheBeast and [[EverythingIsBetterWithMonkeys Monkeys]]. Only the monkey's size is not really the same.
* HomeBase: The Justice Knight's hideout.
* HopelessSuitor: Armand toward Evangelyne, who has absolutely no interest in the prince and considers him an egotistical dick with pig breath.
* HopeSpot
** A minor one in episode 24. For a little while it looks like the Sadidas might be able to defeat Nox's minions before they can construct a portal to bring in his giant clockwork-spider doom-fortress. Unfortunately [[spoiler:it's all a distraction. The horde of minions aren't even building a portal, they're just there to keep the Sadidas occupied while one of Nox's other minions mind-controls a group of Sadidas into building a portal for him (working them to death in the process). The good guys don't realize this until it activates]].
** Far, far worse in the finale, when [[spoiler:Yugo, Adamaï, and Nox travel 20 minutes back in time. For a brief moment Yugo thinks that they might be able to prevent Sadlygrove's death, only to discover that they fell a few minutes short]].
* HornedHumanoid: Osamodas
* HorrifyingTheHorror
** Rubilax in full rampage mode stops dead on his tracks at the mere sight of [[spoiler:Goultard]] (and tries to ''inconspicuously slither away'' while in the body of a giant worm -- [[{{Funny/Wakfu}} hilarious]]).
** The giant Arachne in episode 21 of season 2.
* HorrorHunger: Subverted with "The Thursters" as they are a race of intangible ghouls who are cut off from ever touching what they treasure, stranding them in an eternal, lonely thirst.
* HorseArcher: Or rather, Dragoturkey Archer. Evangelyne is riding a dragoturkey the first time we see her wielding her bow. She's riding one again in episode 24 and in season 2 episode 2.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: The most common steed in this world is the dragoturkey ("dragodinde" in the original French). Also, some of these [[GiantFlyer large birds can fly]].
* HotMom
** Amalia's mother was quite the looker, [[spoiler:before the entire dying thing, anyway]].
** Let's not forget Helen, Xav's wife.
** And as seen at the end of the first season credits: [[spoiler:Miranda]].
* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: The backstory of the Dragon-Pig has him being the result of a romance between a dragon and a sow....
* HowDareYouDieOnMe: In episode 26:
-->[[spoiler:'''Evangelyne:''' You wanted to enter the legend? Just you wait I'm gonna put you in it!]]
* HufflepuffHouse: Sufokia.
* HumanHummingbird
** Done by some characters when about to fall, notably Evangelyne in episodes 4 and 20.
** Also Yugo starting to cook under the desert sun in episode 21.
* HurricaneKick: [[spoiler:Sadlygrove]] against the Dragon-Pig.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Some of the character entries on the ''Wakfu'' official website. The one for the Dragon-Pig is especially bad about it.
* HypocriticalHumor: Occasionally shows up.
** In season 1 episode 8, Evangelyne scolds Sadlygrove for his bad table manners... just before starting wolfing down herself.
** Season 2 episode 5 has the "IWarnedYou" example below.
* IAmWho: Yugo finding out he is the last of the Eliatropes [[spoiler:until Qilby appears. Also him being their reborn former king]].
* TheIgor: Igor, who speaks with a strong Eastern-European accent, clearly evokes this. He's not a hunchback, however, but a huge Shushu mirror.
* IgnoredEnemy: Happens to the Black Raven in episode 3, [[NonSequitur while our heroes discuss how (un)intimidating his name sounds, even coming up with alternative suggestions on their own]].
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Happens twice to Evangelyne, first with Vampyro [[spoiler:(who definitely wants her body, but for Shadofang to possess)]], and then with the pirate captain Smisse Monde.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight
** Evangelyne tries this on a Rubilax-possessed Sadlygrove in season 1 episode 19. However, he only starts regaining his senses [[spoiler:after crushing both Eva's arm and bow.]]
** Attempted by Amalia [[spoiler:on a monkeyfied Yugo]] in season 2 episode 21. Doesn't work much.
* IMeantToDoThat
** Sadlygrove, during the duel against Prince Armand.
** Kriss Krass, during the match against the Masked Gobbowler.
* ImOkay
** Given by Yugo several times in season 1 episode 21 after he constantly falls or runs into things.
** Amalia protests this in season 2 episode 12, after she's been put in a full-body cast and the two commentators basically start her obituary.
* {{Immortality}}
** Nox with a mix of types II and VII.
** The Council Eliatropes of type IV.
* TheImp: Grufon qualifies as the harmless kind while sealed in the map... but in episode 13 [[spoiler:he becomes the NotSoHarmless kind when he gets free and possesses an arachne]].
* ImportantHaircut
** Kriss at the end of episode 12.
** Evangelyne at the end of season 2's first episode.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Almost every character has his own improbable weapon.
** Ruel uses a shovel (and fake gold pieces) to fight.
** Amalia, like many Sadida, uses a veggie doll.
** The Black Raven uses a spear/sword which is [[{{BFS}} twice as big as him]].
** Xav the baker use a wooden baker plate.
** Goultard uses a broken sword tied to a chain.
** In "Vampyro", even the Tofu is used as a weapon!
** That's how it works in the original game, too. There's only a few exceptions, like swords and unarmed combat. There's even a class which is designed to fight with ''giant clockwork needles''!
** Nox's Clockwork Mecha [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom of Doom]] is at its simplest a giant ambulatory ''pocket watch.''
* ImprovisedGolems
** Rubilax's stone clones fit in this category.
** Adamaï summons a stone golem to fight in both episode 15 of the first season, and episode 1 of the second season.
* IndyEscape: In the Dragon-Pig's lair, as a staple of any TempleOfDoom. You can tell it's going to be this [[GenreSavvy from a glance at the map]] before it's even shown on screen.
* InertiaIsACruelMistress: Yugo's portals work this way, but given his ability to orient them any way he wishes, it's quite effective.
* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: Episode 6 of season 1, "Vampyro", looks similar to any other WackyWaysideTribe {{Filler}}, but it introduces several elements that will prove important by season 2, especially [[spoiler:Shadofang]].
* InstantIceJustAddCold
** Whenever Evangelyne uses an ice arrow, lots of ice form around the point of impact.
** Nausea encases Rubilax in ice with a magic potion in episode 7.
** [=McDeek=]'s freezing ray in episode 9.
** The classic comic-relief-encased-in-a-square-block-of-ice happens to Sadlygrove (and Rubilax) in episode 17 after falling in a frozen lake. Adamaï melts the ice with his fire breath.
* InsultBackfire: The Iop King uses the ongoing insult of his race being DumbMuscle to his favor towards helping Quilby, claiming that the Iops' brains are too small to consider treachery.
* InterspeciesAdoption: Elaine.
* InTheEndYouAreOnYourOwn: Yugo against Nox in the season finale [[spoiler:with Adamaï knocked out and the rest of the FiveManBand otherwise distracted, mostly because of Razortime]].
* IsometricProjection: The MMO.
* ItAlwaysRainsAtFunerals: In episode 22 of season 2. [[spoiler:It immediately stops once Ruel drops the act of playing dead.]]
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: Evangelyne in episode 7, when surrounded by an army of evil dolls.
* IWantThemAlive: Nox specifically orders Igôle to bring back Adamaï "without damaging him too much", since he wants to drain his wakfu. Thus [[JustifiedTrope explaining]] why Igôle would [[JustEatHim swallow whole]] the dragonet with no more damage than [[ShapeshifterModeLock locking his shapechange]].
* IWarnedYou: In season 2 episode 5, [[spoiler:Sadlygrove tries to warn Yugo, Amalia and Evangelyne of the dangers of the Dragon-Pig's lair, as he's the only one with experience in DungeonCrawling. They pay him no heed, used to ignore the IdiotHero... until the three are struck with a BalefulPolymorph]].
-->'''[[spoiler:Sadlygrove]]:''' [[LampshadeHanging I wouldn't want to play the "I warned you" card...]] ''(deep breath)'' '''[[HypocriticalHumor BUT I WARNED YOU!]]'''
* TheJailer: Justice Knight
* JawDrop
** Sadlygrove at the sight of his master, [[spoiler:Goultard]], vanquishing Rubilax in one blow.
** [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Wakfu_Facepalm_9735.jpg Amalia]], when Grovy gets himself into a duel by defying her brother Armand.
** Ruel in season 2 episode 8, after learning that [[spoiler:Sadlygrove had seen Evangelyne naked, and not in a dream]].
* JerkassGods: The Twelve in spades. Iop's carelessness resulted in the destruction of the last world he presided over; Xelor does nothing to stop his lieutenants from abusing their powers via tormenting mortals; Sadida fathered a child with one of his Dolls and proceeded to butcher his deformed offspring; Ecaflip's kid turned out completely rotten and corrupt; Osamodas has been known to curse anyone that insults him; and Pandawa became a goddess by intoxicating people into worshipping her. It says something when the Blood Goddess (Sacrier), God of Greed (Enutrof), and God of Thieves are the least malevolent and destructive of a pantheon.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Many of the points the Prince of Brâkmar makes during the Council of the Twelve, as the Eliacube and the Eliatropes are in fact quite dangerous and have destroyed entire worlds before.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
** Ruel, though he's more of a skinflint with a heart of gold.
** Amalia may be a little spoiled choleric princess, but she has moments when she is ''really'' concerned by the fate of her companions (like in "Vampyro" or "Gobbowl Hell III"), so she may qualify, too.
** Remington nearly qualifies; he's an unforgivable douchebag to the heroes every single time he appears, but he's quite honorable if Grany's safety is involved.
* TheJuggernaut: Razortime
* JuggleFu: Grougaloragran with Yugo's baby carriage in episode 1.
* JustEatHim: This happens twice in episode 21, with Igôle swallowing whole first Az and then Adamaï, and being forced to regurgitate them both later. (Adamaï can even be seen pounding the beast's distended belly from the inside.) And again with Adamaï in Tofu form in episode 23 -- this time, Igôle willingly spits him out.
* KamehameHadoken: Introduced as a special Gobbowl move in season 2 episode 12.
* KangarooCourt: The trials in Brâkmar.
* {{Kawaiiko}}: Lady Glagla, one of the contestants of the singing competition in season 2 episode 15. [[TastesLikeDiabetes To a very large degree.]]
* {{Kiai}}:
-->'''Fanny Bloc [Yugo's voiceactress]:''' I actually practice Kendo -- for those who know -- and I used the famous Kiai yell when Yugo uses a portal.
* KickTheDog: Remington is pointlessly evil to Evangelyne, case in point being during season 2 episode 3 when he [[spoiler:steals Evangelyne's Shushu and drops Sadlygrove's sword down a hole, when they had already agreed to trade. It was useless to him and Eva clearly had a reason to want it, but he just felt the need to spite her]]. In the same episode, he attacks her right after commending her for rescuing him. He later tries to ''sic Rushu's [[TheDragon Dragon]] on her'', because it "seemed like a good idea".
* KissOfLife
** Sadlygrove attempts to revive Evangelyne this way in episode 15, but she wakes up in time to thrust a kralamour (think jellyfish) in his face instead.
** Played straighter in season 2 episode 4, where [[spoiler:Sadlygrove]] loses no time giving mouth-to-mouth to Evangelyne -- it's rather un-romantic this time, since Eva's life is truly at stake.
* KnightOfCerebus: Nox
* KnifeNut: Felinor's second in command.
* KnockoutGas: The gas used by the Justice Knight inside his Justice Train, in episode 8 of season 2.
* {{Kuudere}}: Maude to some extent.
* LampshadeHanging:
-->'''Nox:''' Maybe at last we'll see what is hiding under your hat!
* LanternJawOfJustice
** The Justice Knight, fittingly.
** The Mmmmmmmmmporpg has a monumental chin.
* LargeHam: The Justice Knight
* LastOfHisKind: Mid-season 1 we discover that [[spoiler:Yugo is the last Eliatrope alive]]. Subverted in season 2 episode 6 when [[spoiler:Grougal's Dofus hatches with his partner Eliatrope]] and we learn that [[spoiler:this wasn't actually the case to begin with]].
* LastSecondChance: Unusually, [[spoiler:Nox takes his and retreats. The finality with which he delivers his parting line indicates that he does not intend to return]]. The credits for episode 26 demonstrate this.
* LeaveNoSurvivors: Implied as the reason why no-one has heard about Nox.
* LegacyCharacter
** The Black Raven
** The Justice Knight
* LethalLavaLand: Brâkmar
* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: The Dragon-Pig and [[spoiler:Sadlygrove. Even though the fight is technically a draw, the Dragon-Pig accepts to let Ruel go and to remove the BalefulPolymorph on Yugo, Amalia and Eva,]] because it was a damn good tussle.
* LetsSplitUpGang: [[spoiler:Yugo and Adamaï]] decide to go their own way for some time, in episode 18. They return to the others by the end of episode 24.
* LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand: Used regularly, with some backround music suddenly puttering out along any MoodWhiplash. For example:
** In season 1 episode 9, when [=McDeek=] finds out that he's shooting chocolate instead of energy.
** The heavenly music during Enutrof's "DivineIntervention" in season 1 episode 16 derails when the god shoots down Ruel's expectations.
** At the start of season 2 episode 5, the idyllic BGM is interrupted by the heroes' {{Stomach Groan}}s.
** One of the Justice Knight's rants has his leitmotif weakening when he stumbles on a word, to triumphantly resume afterward.
** An in-universe example with the saxophone player in the bar who suddenly stops at the mention of Kriss' name in episode 10 of season 2.
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: The whole [[spoiler:[[BalefulPolymorph transformation into pigs]] incident]] in "The Dragon-Pig" for the FiveManBand (especially Amalia).
* LifeEnergy: The [[TitleDrop eponymous]] wakfu, natch.
* TheLifestream: The flow of wakfu, and also the reason why dragons and Eliatropes are technically immortal.
* LightningGlare: Shortly, between Sadlygrove and Evangelyne in episode 5.
* LimitedWardrobe
** Yugo, Amalia and Evangelyne wear the same clothes most of the time, with exceptions made for the plot-related changing (like the princess dresses in episode 4 or the cheerleader outfits in the Bontarian Gobbowl arc).
** However, Grovy gets a whole new look in episode 22, and Ruel gets a new outfit in the last two episodes of season 1, which he keeps for season 2.
** Nox bears four different looks through season 1.
** Evangelyne dons a new outfit for season 2, and while Amalia continues to wear her season 1 clothes, she's briefly shown in full princess garb (including in the opening sequence).
* LiteralCliffhanger
** Yugo and Ruel in episode 9.
** A few for Eva, Remington, and Grany in Rubilaxia.
* LiteralSurveillanceBug: Nox uses robotic insects both to gather [[LifeEnergy wakfu]] and as surveillance.
* LivingOnBorrowedTime: During season 1, [[spoiler:Nox, who is over 200 years old and only alive because he harvests the wakfu of other living beings. After giving up the Eliacube and thus the ability to drain wakfu, only dust is left of him]].
* LivingRelic: Qilby
* LivingShadow: Willow sends his own shadow to fight Sadlygrove in season 1 episode 14.
* LoadBearingBoss: Not Nox himself, but [[spoiler:the Eliacube]], arguably the real villain of season 1. [[spoiler:When Nox drains it of power, all of his minions (and Nox himself) begin to fall apart.]]
* ALoadOfBull: The "Bullies" ("Taures" in French).
* LoadsAndLoadsOfRaces: At first glance, though in fact it is a subversion of this trope. The "races" in ''{{Dofus}}'' (and by extension ''Wakfu'') are more along the line of [[FantasyCharacterClasses classes]] or religions. The characters may change in appearance to match that of their gods, but all are still basically "humans" (and there are un-classed, baseline human {{NPC}}s too). Which explain why interbreeding, [[spoiler:like with Kabrok (an Osamodas) and Miranda (an Ecaflip)]], is perfectly possible.
* ALongTimeAgoInAGalaxyFarFarAway: [[spoiler:The origin of the Eliatropes]], according to Quilby.
* LookWhatICanDoNow: Yugo, [[spoiler:being more versed in wakfu manipulation]] and Sadlygrove, [[spoiler:having tamed Rubilax]], saving Evangelyne from Deserboss in episode 24.
* LostTechnology: The Eliatropes' magic-science, like the Zaaps and the Eliacube.
* LotusEaterMachine: [[spoiler:The Tree of Life]] in episode 20.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Jay, from his first glance at Evangelyne during the Bontarian Gobbowl match. Sadlygrove too, in fact. What's with Eva and Iops?
* LoveHurts
** Just ask Sadlygrove and Evangelyne.
** Nox also has shades of this -- and by shades, we mean his grief has driven him to commit omnicide. Animals, plants, entire countries, and he even attempted to [[spoiler:take out an entire ''race'']].
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Nox
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Nox again.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Az for Yugo and Junior for Ruel.
* LuminescentBlush
** Used frequently. Sadlygrove and Eva in particular do this a lot near the end of season 1.
** Yugo when Lady Glagla flirts with him in episode 14 of season 2.
** Amalia has one in Season 2 of Episode 17, when Ruel told her she should find love. Oddly just as Yugo appeared next to them.
* MacGuffinGuardian: The Golem in episode 23, guarding [[spoiler:Grougaloragran's Dofus]].
* MadEye: Igôle. That's even its nickname given by Lotie.
* MadScientist
** Nox, of the {{Magitek}} (and watchmaker) variant.
** [[spoiler:Qilby]].
* MagicalSecurityCam: Nox's use of these is [[JustifiedTrope justified]] as being integrated into his swarm of wakfu harvesters, the Noxines, in his first onscreen appearance.
* MagicAntidote: The glowing sap from the legendary tree in episode 7.
* MagicMirror: Igor the Shushu mirror allows communication with Rushu.
* TheMagnificentSevenSamurai: "The Magnificent Five"
* MakeMeWannaShout: The Bellaphones' main mode of attack.
* ManEatingPlant
** Two big ones in episode 7, following orders from Sybannak (the crazy old Sadida).
** A huge one under Armand's control during the fight in episode 19.
* MartialArtsAndCrafts
** Yugo's cooking and serving style.
** Episode 8 treats baking like a difficult martial art. And it's SeriousBusiness.
* MascotMook: The Gobballs
* MayorOfAGhostTown: [[spoiler:Ruel]]

** Perhaps unintentionally, Evangelyne -- or rather, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangeline Evangeline]]. Evangelyne was never sent away from her homeland and forcibly separated from her LoveInterest, but the two Evas do share in common [[spoiler:obsessively searching for said LoveInterest, only to have him die in their arms soon after they are reunited]] by the end of the first season.
** Nox is Latin for "night" (fitting his time-theme}, but it is also similar to "Noxa" (which means damage towards organisms), fitting with his plan on harvesting wakfu.
** [[http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chouquette Chouquette]], duh.
** Brâkmar is phonetically the same as a French slang word designing a... hu... [[GagPenis part of the male anatomy when oversized]]. Fitting for a town that's a bastion of machismo.
** Jactance the Gobbowl commentator. "Jactance" is slang for talking too much and conceitedly.
** Slo-Mo the Xelor referee. He can slow down time to allow the spectators to better see the best Gobbowl actions.
* MeanwhileScene: In episode 12, which also doubles as SmiteMeOhMightySmiter.
* MeatPuppet
** It's hard to say if they're still alive, but Nox uses three "warrior mummy puppets" in episode 17, each one clearly using the powers of a different class. Information is lacking whether they were [[AndIMustScream real people before]]. While their official profiles on the French ''Wakfu'' page are hardly informative and consist of scarcely anything but nonsensical jokes, at least one of them heavily implies that they were indeed born as regular people.
** Nox [[TheUnfettered outdoes himself]] in episode 24 by [[spoiler:controlling the Sadidas via their {{Synchronization}} with their Sadida dolls]]. Considering how violating that must be, it's more than certainly a FateWorseThanDeath for the puppets.
* MechanicalMonster: Razortime
* MegaManning: Shushu General Anathar can copy any power if he has contact with its user.
* MeleeATrois: Evangelyne vs. Remington & Grany vs. [[spoiler:Rubilax in Sadlygrove's body and his ghouls]].
* MemeticOutfit: The Eliatrope hat which there are a lot of variations upon, but it always has the "ears" and very often the "tail" with the tuft at the end.
* TheMerch: An in-universe example in episode 12, when everyone sells stuff with Yugo's face on it and in Real Boitar's colors.
* MerchantCity: Bonta
* MessyPig: About all of season 2 episode 5.
* MetronomicManMashing: This happens [[spoiler:to Sadlygrove]] during his fight against the Dragon-Pig.
* MidairBobbing: Vampyro
* MilkyWhiteEyes: Lots of monsters in the series seem to have [[MonochromaticEyes white eyes with black borders]].
** This is a trait of Iops in the video games, and for a time in episode 22 this happens to Sadlygrove.
** Also can be seen with Sacriers like Kriss Krass.
** Grougaloragran in humanoid form. Close-ups show very pale pupils.
** Vampyro's ghouls have those.
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: [[spoiler:Rubilax]] in the first few episodes of season 2, who [[spoiler:although fully possessing Sadlygrove's body, [[ThePowerOfLove cannot bring it to hit Evangelyne]] despite all his efforts]].
* MindScrew: The end of episode 20. It was even worse for English-speaking fans, eager for the next episode, watching it sans subs. [[spoiler:It turned out to be AllJustADream.]]
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens
** Sybannak the old Sadida, from season 1 episode 7.
** Ratafouine and his assistant Chouquette, from season 1 episodes 8-9.
** Nanda, from season 2 episode 2.
** Ruel's grandmother, from season 2 episode 7.
* MinionMaracas: Amalia does this to Yugo in episode 13.
* AMinorKidroduction: Yugo is already a KidHero, but the first episode introduces him as a baby.
* MissingEpisode: The artbook ''"Dofus - Les mains d'Eniripsa"'' presents the plot of an unseen episode, going as far as providing a full summary, character design, and even background design. The episode was about Yugo and friends trying to save a village from complete dryness. For some reason, the episode was scrapped and never produced. The only remaining bit is the title character, a charming Eniripsa called Mey d'Elongrot, who was present in the crowd as a cameo in episode 10.
* MistakenForGay: [[spoiler:Sadlygrove and "Evangelion" hugging]] during the Brâkmarian Gobbowl arc.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Many creatures of the world of ''Wakfu'' are this.
** A telling example with Igôle, the beast Nox sends after Yugo and Adamaï. It looks like a mix of wolf or dog, hyena or panther, with the body shape of a lizard.
* MoneyFetish: Ruel and his entire race.
* ModestyTowel: In episode 4, though not just to keep modesty but also to hide the "ugly princesses" disguises. Unfortunately, the only towel to fall is ''[[FanDisservice Ruel's]]''.
* MonowheelMayhem: Nox's {{Mook}}s ride such monowheeled vehicles to battle, looking like giant cogwheels.
* MonsterClown: [[spoiler:Qilby]].
* MonsterIsAMommy: In the first episode of season 2.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: The villain even shows up at the end of the opening credits throughout season 1, though as the season progresses and into season 2 the show begins to turn away from this format.
* MoodWhiplash: So after episode 25 and 26, which include [[spoiler:a main character heartwrenchingly sacrificing himself]] and [[spoiler:the mother of all {{Bittersweet Ending}}s]] respectively, what was the viewer treated to? Why, a charming episode of ''[[TastesLikeDiabetes Mini-Wakfu]]'' of course! Although originally episode 26 had a more fitting post-credits segment that shows [[spoiler:Nox after the finale]].
* {{Mooks}}: Nox's Grouilleux (Crawlies). Also FacelessGoons due to their hoods and scarfs.
** EliteMooks: The "Red Berserker" Grouilleux.
** MookLieutenant: The "[[HighClassGlass Monocle]]" Grouilleux ordering the others around.
** EvilMinions: The "Technicians" inside Nox's Clock.
* MorphicResonance
** Grougaloragran retains his bushy eyebrows and beard, as well as a general dark color, when he transforms.
** This is also true for Adamaï, who can take many shapes but keeps his white-and-blue color scheme and peculiar eyes.
** Same goes for anyone possessed by a Shushu, as they ressemble something that is half themselves and half evil monster. They tend to get much bigger, though.
** In season 2 episode 5, [[spoiler:Yugo, Amalia, and Evangelyne are turned into piglets, but retain some recognizeable traits, like Eva's {{green eyes}} and [[YouthfulFreckles freckles]], or dark skin and tufts of green hair for Amalia]].
** Also happens with the heroes changed into Thursters in season 2 episode 13. You can still recognize them, which make the scene [[spoiler:where Evangelyne and Sadlygrove try to touch each other that more pathetic]].
** And again in season 2 episode 21, [[spoiler:when the Bellaphones turns the male members of the party into apes or monkeys]].
* MrViceGuy: Ruel Stroud, who as an Enutrof pretty much has to be obsessed with wealth.
* MsFanservice: Evangelyne, especially during the beginning of episode 22.
* {{Muggle Foster Parent|s}}: Alibert, Yugo's adoptive father. Apparently, as of episode 6 of season 2, [[spoiler:he's one for Chibi too]].
* MultipleDemographicAppeal
* MusicalAssassin: The Voice Thief
* TheMusketeer: Remington Smisse
* MythologyGag: The female Iop carrying a basket in episode 3 uses the same (only recoloured) animation as Goultard's mother from a previous short film made by Ankama, ''Goultard the Barbarian''.
* TheNameIsBondJamesBond: Parodied by the pirate captain in episode 18. "My name is Monde... [[PunnyName Smisse Monde]]."
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
** Nox specifically intended for his name to have this effect.
** Bourlof the Butcher ("Bourlof le Dépeceur")
* TheNapoleon: Cassis
* NearVillainVictory: At the end of season 1, [[spoiler:Nox succeeds in draining the Sadidas' Tree of Life, wiping out their entire race, drains TheHero, Yugo, of his wakfu, and successfully becomes the first Xelor to travel backwards in time. However, the process drains all the wakfu he spent 200 years collecting and only sends him back 20 minutes]].
* NemeanSkinning: In season 1 episode 17, Sadlygrove shears a pack of arctic dog-like beasts with one slash of his sword -- without even killing them -- to provide wool for his companions.
* NeverMessWithGranny: Don't mess with Ruel's grandmother. No, really, just don't.
* NeverTrustATrailer: Ankama seems to enjoy taking all of the most epic scenes out of an episode and throwing them into a trailer without context. It's perhaps justified, since the erratic airing schedule means that they need as much hype as possible behind each new episode.
** Episode 16 was especially bad for this, coming after a several month hiatus. The trailer showed Sadlygrove screaming and surrounded by flames, wielding Rubilax with dark tendrils growing up his arms, which led to a lot of speculation about him gaining some sort of demonic power or finally having Rubilax [[DemonicPossession completely take him over]]. In the episode itself, it was nothing but a visual cue that Sadlygrove was at his limit and that [[spoiler:[[EnemyMine Rubilax was working ''with'' him and not against him]]]].
** The trailer for the three-episode season 1 finale was met with skepticism for this very reason. The trailer made it suspiciously obvious that [[spoiler:Evangelyne and Sadlygrove would die together]], but as it turns out, [[spoiler:the trailer was pretty trustworthy this time around. Sadlygrove does indeed die in Eva's arms, though Eva herself is saved by the timely arrival of Ruel and his DrillTank]].
* NewSuperPower: Yugo's wakfu training and experimentation with his portal power in episode 21 result [[spoiler:in gaining a ''friggin' laser beam'']], which certainly made battles easier afterward.
* NiceHat
** Yugo has a blue hat with ear-shaped protrusions, and has worn it since birth. Throughout the entire series Yugo takes off his hat only once, and even his friends have never seen what's under it.
** Alibert wears an enormous toque blanche.
** The huge hat of Xav the baker may qualify too.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain
** Kriss Krass during the Bontarian Gobbowl match. His team could have very easily beaten Ruel and Co., but he didn't want of a too-easy victory, since it wouldn't give a good enough show to the crowd. So, Kriss pretends to be hurt for a part of the match, and even at the end he takes his sweet time scoring the final goal, giving Sadlygrove the opportunity to best him.
** Played with in the finale. [[spoiler:Nox drains the Sadida's Tree of Life and Yugo of their wakfu.]] However, he then [[spoiler:uses that wakfu to travel back in time, undoing both of those things. Interesting in that this was what he intended from the start, and in fact the main reason he was willing to do such horrible things was his belief that they would all be undone upon his success]]. Ultimately [[spoiler:averted. Nox is unable to travel back in time far enough to undo anything more than Yugo's death and the destruction of the Tree of Life, meaning that everyone else that he's killed (stated to be entire countries worth of people) stays dead. His failure to invoke this trope is one of several factors contributing to the DownerEnding]].
** Once again in season 2 episode 4. [[spoiler:In hindsight, being total dicks towards Rubilax, when he still was in control of the situation, wasn't the smartest thing Shadofang and Rushu could have done. As a result, Rubilax finally decided that playing a CardCarryingVillain sucks.]]
* NoBodyLeftBehind
** From the season 1 finale, [[spoiler:Sadlygrove]], though [[spoiler:his body ''does'' resurface in season 2 episode 2]].
** Also [[spoiler:Nox]], shown in the final season 1 credits, whose only remains are his old gear and some dust.
* NonHumanSidekick
** Yugo has Az;
** Sadlygrove has [[SnarkyNonHumanSidekick Rubilax]];
** Ruel has Junior;
** Amalia has her Sadida doll.
* TheNoseless
** Sadlygrove and other Iops;
** Kriss Krass and other Sacriers;
** Remington Smisse (but only in the cartoon).
* NotQuiteDead
** In episode 2, Alibert, the adoptive father of Yugo, is changed into a plant, but by the end of the episode he is cured.
** [[spoiler:Goultard]], too, proves to be alive in episode 22. Though [[AllThereInTheManual various other Ankama media]] claim that he is immortal.
* NotSoInnocentWhistle
* NumberOfTheBeast
** See TakeANumber below.
** The "[[ZergRush Rush]]" in Rushu's World consists of fighting 666 minor demons.
** Close enough: the player number of the Masked Gobbowler is 665.
* OcularGushers
** Tolot (Ruel's friend from his Gobbowl time) indulges in this in episode 10.
** Also Lady Glagla in episode 14 of season 2.
* OdangoHair: Princesses Lela and Erpel are prominent examples.
* OffhandBackhand
** Sadlygrove does it to his imaginary, [[FunSize Fun-Sized]] "[[TheConscience Conscience]]" in episode 22.
** Nox does this towards Adamaï in episode 26.
* OfficialCouple: Sadlygrove & Evangelyne
* OhCrap
** Adamaï in episode 26 [[spoiler:being greeted by Nox]].
** Remington and Grany witnessing Rubilaxia.
* OhMyGods
** The characters use quite often the name of their titular gods within common expressions.
*** "For the love of Crâ..."
*** "Sadida help us!"
*** "Enutrof, give me strength!"
** Ogrest's name is used with more negative connotations. "Chaos of Ogrest!"
** Also, the Shushus frequently swear by Rushu.
* OhNoNotAgain
** Season 2 episode 4:
-->'''Evangelyne:''' Amalia and Ruel have gotten themselves turned into ghouls!\\
'''[[spoiler:Sadlygrove]]:''' [[CallBack Again?]] Ruel will end up getting a taste for it...
** A much less comedic instance at the end of season 2 episode 8, [[spoiler:when Eva watches Sadlygrove being dragged into Rushu's dimension by Anathar]].
* OmnicidalManiac: Rushu wants to invade the human world. Why? ''Because there's nothing left to destroy in the Shushu world.''
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Rubilax not saying a word for three episodes straight can get Sadlygrove really worried.
* OperaGloves
** Evangelyne wears white ones (with a princess gown) in episode 4, and red ones (with a translucent dress of the same color) in episode 22. Then black [[FingerlessGloves fingerless long gloves]] are part of her standard season 2 outfit.
** Miranda wears them, too.
* OpposingSportsTeam
** The Red Gobballs in Bonta.
** The Brak'n'Black in Brâkmar.
* OrderVersusChaos: Wakfu and Stasis. Creation versus destruction. Neither one is inherently bad or good, though.
* OrphanedPunchline: Amalia tells such a joke at the beginning of season 2 episode 8.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: To be specific, Grougaloragran is a shape-changing, fire-breathing old brown dragon, while Adamaï is a shape-changing, energetic, rhyming young blue-and-white dragon. [[spoiler:He's also Yugo's brother, hatched from the same Dofus, or egg.]]
* OurOrcsAreDifferent: Bworks
* OurTimeTravelIsDifferent: "Videocassette Time Travel" in episode 26, [[spoiler:but [[MemeticMutation only for 20 miserable minutes]]. Nox realizes quickly that something is wrong because the travel time was "too short" to have been 200 years backward -- whatever that could mean]].
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Vampyro. He doesn't suck blood, but can steal your shadow and make you one of his ghouls. He isn't a true vampire, though, [[spoiler:just a guy possessed by a demon which he has fallen in love with]].
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: They are people turned into bamboo creatures called Thursters who constantly search to quench their thirst. They've changed into these creatures from drinking bamboo milk polluted by the salt water that got into the fields. Also, they are unable to physically touch anything that isn't made out of pure bamboo, and simply phase through anything or anyone else. However, when they phase through a person, they too become Thursters. Not to mention, if you know a Pandawa song, they can't help but dance to it when you sing.
* OverlyLongGag: In episode 4 of season 1, Eva twisting her ankle and falling over when trying to walk in heels has already become a RunningGag, but then she does so while climbing the stairs of [[GirlInTheTower the tower]]. Predictably she [[StaircaseTumble goes over backwards and starts to roll down the stairs]] to a [[OwMyBodyPart litany of pained shrieks]], [[OffscreenCrash crashing sounds]] and [[ThatPoorCat distubed animals]]. Except it goes on... and on... and on... and on. It ends up taking her a full ''fifteen seconds'' to reach the bottom!
-->'''Princess Erpel:''' Wow! That's not some cheap two-kamas curse!
* OverlyNarrowSuperlative:
-->'''Sadlygrove:''' Eva, that's the nicest thing ever written about me!\\
'''Evangelyne:''' That's the ''only'' thing ever written about you, big dummy.
* OwMyBodyPart: Eva falling down the stairs in season 1 episode 4.
-->'''Evangelyne:''' Aaah! My head! [=AaahaaA!=] Aaah! My back!
* PapaWolf
** Alibert manages to break Nox's time-stop and even strikes the Xelor when he's threatening Yugo in episode 2 -- though Alibert [[RapidAging pays dearly]] for this.
** Ruel becomes one [[spoiler:when Yugo is knocked out and his treasure eaten by [=McDeek=]]] in episode 9.
** [[spoiler:Nox counts]] as well, the entire first season. He'll do anything to [[spoiler:retroactively save his kids]]. ''[[TheUnfettered Anything.]]''
* PaperThinDisguise: The "ugly princess" disguises in episode 4. Good enough to fool the cursed princesses... and [[IdiotHero Sadlygrove]], of course.
* ParentService: In season 2 episode 8, [[spoiler:Sadlygrove not only blurts out that he'd already seen Evangelyne naked, but helpfully specifies that it wasn't in a dream, thus excluding the mirage from episode 22. Eva's flushed reaction only makes it worse.]] By this point everything related to the relationship between [[spoiler:Grovy and Eva]] has officially migrated from GettingCrapPastTheRadar into ParentService, as even kids need to be unusually dense to not realize that they are lovers.
* LeParkour: Evangelyne and Remington perform a quite impressive chase all over the chaotic, unstable, ever-shifting "cityscape" of Rubilaxia.
* ParrotPetPosition: Grany spends a lot of time on Remington's shoulders.
* PastelChalkedFreezeFrame: Used at the end of every Gobbowl-themed episode. As mentionned in ShoutOut, {{Word of God}} is that those are references to ''Manga/SpaceAdventureCobra''.
* PatchworkMap: The world. (No, we're not talking about Grufon [[VisualPun getting stitched back together]]...)
* PeekABangs
** "Amalius"
** Shanon Stone
** Cléophée
* PerfectlyCromulentWord: Jactance and his brother Tendinite are doing this all the time when commenting a Gobbowl match. Notably with an overuse of {{Portmanteau}}.
* PerfectPoison: The bite from the devil roses in episode 7.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: The Mmmmmmmmmporpg
* PetTheDog: Nox healing Alibert of his premature aging in episode 13.
* PhlebotinumOverload: [[spoiler:Rubilax's power of growing more and more with each hit is turned against him]] in episode 22. Something similar happens to him in season 2 episode 9.
* {{Phlegmings}}: The Dragon-Pig
* PhraseCatcher
** Sadlygrove the Iop brain.
** Ruel the Skinflint.
* PigMan: The Dragon-Pig
* PillarOfLight: Let's just say Ankama loves this trope.
** Willow in episode 14, after getting Moon's hammer.
** Another one in episode 17, [[spoiler:when Grougaloragran is defeated by Nox and he explodes, his wakfu soaring in the sky]]. This pillar could be seen all over the world.
** Again in episode 22, when [[spoiler:a defeated Rubilax reintegrates his sword prison]].
** And again in episode 25, [[spoiler:when the huge teleportation portal is activated]]. And [[spoiler:when Amalia is possessed by the Tree of Life]]. And [[spoiler:when Razortime's EnergyBall hits Sadlygrove]].
** Still another one in season 2 episode 6, [[spoiler:when Yugo and Adamaï activate the Eliacube]].
* {{Pilot}}: Episode 5 was the original series' pilot, hence the overall lack of quality.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: This world has a species of birds with quite clearly blue males and pink females.
* PinkHairedGirl: Chochanna
* PinocchioSyndrome: Dathura, which was the incitement for Ogrest to collect the Dofuses.
* PintsizedPowerhouse
** Master Joris;
** Yugo to some degree.
* PirateGirl: Elaine.
* PlanetOfHats: Taken to it's [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin literal extreme]] with the Eliatropes.
* PointyEars: More common than not in the ''Wakfu'' universe. Also comes in different versions.
** Crâs and Sacriers have rather long pointy elf ears. Also Grougaloragran's in humanoid form.
** Osamodas, Eliatropes, Iops, Roublards and Eniripsas have shorter pointy ears.
** Enutrofs, Fecas and Srams, on the other hand, have normal round ears.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The Brâkmarians, besides being your typical WretchedHive denizens, are adamant about not letting women play Gobbowl or even watch the matches.
* PossessionImpliesMastery: While Nox managed to work out some of the Eliacube's functionings (over a few hundred years) and use them to astonishing extent, only a Eliatrope could truly master it.
* PorkyPigPronunciation: Sadlygrove sometimes, when he tries using complex words.
* PortalCut: The large horizontal portal build by Nox's minions cut down everything it intersect, and then destroy all that fall into it -- mostly the upper parts of trees -- to make place for the giant clockwork mecha.
* PortalNetwork: A series of portals, called the Zaaps, links different locations in the world. Since the world of ''Wakfu'' is basically a huge archipelago, it makes sense.
* PowerFloats: Nox, and Adamaï in his humanoid form. Apparently devoid of any MidairBobbing for both.
* PowerGlows
** Amalia when using her GreenThumb powers.
** Yugo's hands also glow each time he creates a portal.
** And all the wakfu Nox is gathering has a perpetual blue glow, as seen with the Noxines and Nox's own glowing eyes and spots on his armor.
** The Eliacube, of course, is the most glowy thing around.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Yugo in episode 26 [[spoiler:[[BeyondTheImpossible breaking Nox's most powerful timestop]]]].
-->'''Yugo:''' My friends... you can... always... [[PunctuatedEmphasis count... on... ME!]]
* PowersInTheFirstEpisode: Yugo discovers his Eliatrope abilities to open portals, and a few minutes later use them to help defeating a Rubilax-possessed Sadlygrove. This starts the main plot, as 10 years before Grougaloragran "programmed" one of Az's feathers to deliver a message to Yugo when this would happen.
* PowerTattoo: Sacriers gets their powers from their tattoos. This is a LighterAndSofter change from the time of ''{{Dofus}}'', where Sacriers instead used BloodyMurder.
* PowerWalk: Ruel's team does one in episode 11, at the start of the second quarter-time of the Gobbowl match.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang
** Ruel's shovel;
** Remington's dagger Shushu;
** The Masked Gobbowler has a [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown very complex and precise]] control of gobbowls.
* {{Precursors}}: The civilization of the Eliatropes, whom lived thousands of years before the settings of ''Wakfu'' and ''{{Dofus}}'', before they vanished one day without any trace.
* PrehensileHair: Princess Ydalipe
* PreviouslyOn: Used in some of the later episodes. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] through a mid-season break and a general habit of changing airing dates.
* ProductPlacement: In episode 24, two guards are playing the [[CollectibleCardGame Trading Card Game]] of the series. No actual cards of the game were shown, though, so it's not that blatant.
* PsychicLink: Between a dragon and his/her Eliatrope sibling.
* PunchPunchPunchUhOh
** In episode 22, at the start of the fight against Rubilax, it seems at first that Sadlygrove has the upper hand, raining blows on the Shushu. But Rubilax just laughs it off, complains that it tickles... before [[spoiler:starting to ''grow'' and revealing that the harder he's hit, [[OhCrap the bigger he gets]]]].
** Also happens shortly in season 2 episode 5 at the start of the fight against the Dragon-Pig.
* PureEnergy: Razortime fires "Pure Stasis" -- concentrated negative wakfu. According to Adamaï, nothing is more dangerous.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Nox's puppets (Marama, Frisco, Tartufo, and later Deserboss) are this to some extent.
* QuiveringEyes
* QuizzicalTilt
* RapidAging: Alibert in episode 2, although [[spoiler:Nox reverses the spell]] in episode 13.
* RayGun: Remington's pistol Shushus.
* ReactionShot: The pirates disgusted and disbelieving looks on Cléophée swallowing several platters full of... ''something'' in episode 19 of season 2.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld
** Nox [[spoiler:who claims that he's been holding the cube for 200 years, which makes him at least this old]]. However, it's hard to tell if he looks old or not, since he's covered with mummy-like bandages.
** Moon, a cute little monkey who is several centuries old because of his magic hammer. He might be older than that, given that [[spoiler:he's a boss in ''{{Dofus}}'']].
** [[spoiler:Goultard]], too, was originally from ''Dofus''.
* RealMenEatMeat: Yugo, Ruel and Sadlygrove tend to think that. They have a hard time with the vegetarian diet of the Sadidas. Especially noticeable in season 2 episode 5.
* RebelRelaxation: Evangelyne in the Justice Knight's cell.
* RecursiveAdaptation: The ''{{Dofus}}'' MMORPG was the basis for the ''Wakfu'' MMORPG on which the ''Wakfu'' series is based on, and in the near future we will get a ''Dofus'' series which is technically based on the ''Wakfu'' series.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
** Amalia's doll gets red eyes when it goes crazy in episode 7.
** The puppets in episode 17 have scary red eyes.
** Grany in episode 3 of season 2 [[spoiler:when he's possessed by a Shushu]].
** The Mmmmmmmmmporpg in episode 12 of season 2 [[spoiler:when entering his UnstoppableRage]].
* RedLightDistrict: Besides the fact that most of Brâkmar is lit in red light anyway, one is seen in episode 10 of season 2.
* {{Reincarnation}}: The events in ''Islands of Wakfu'' imply that [[spoiler:Yugo is the reincarnation of the former King of Eliatropes who died 10 000 years ago]].
* RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler:Evangelyne and Sadlygrove]] in season 2.
* RepetitiveName: In the first ''Wakfu Heroes'' graphic novel, Korvus Korbiau. [[spoiler:''Corvus'' is the genus to which ravens belong, and Korbiau is one vowel away from ''corbeau'', which is the French word for raven. As you've probably guessed, he's the original Black Raven.]]
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated
** [[spoiler:Master Goultard]] in season 1.
** Ruel's grandmother in season 2.
* {{Retcon}}: Episodes 4, 5 and 7 were produced first, with a bit of ExecutiveMeddling. As such, they are rather outside the overall plot of season 1, containing very little mentions of Nox or Oma Island. The only reference to an overarching menace is Eva talking about "[[TheGreatFlood Ogrest's Chaos]]" in episode 5, which was then retconned to have happened 200 years before.
* RetiredBadass
** Alibert
** Kabrok to some extent.
* ReviveKillsZombie: After being flooded in pure bamboo milk, the zombified village of Pandalusia returns to normal.
* RhymesOnADime: Adamaï delivers a hurricane of rhymes in his introduction to Yugo, and given that French has fewer suffixes than English, the viewer gets the [[OhCrap sinking feeling]] that he could keep it up [[MostAnnoyingSound forever]]. ''And then Yugo starts doing it.'' Luckily, they both drop it after about ten minutes.
* RibcageRidge: Yugo stumbles onto the skeleton of a dragon in the desert during episode 21.
* RightHandAttackDog: Igôle
* RightHandCat: Grany Smisse
* RingOfPower: The one imprisoning Shadofang.
* RipTailoring: In episode 22, Sadlygrove rips off his tabard and leaves behind his shoes, as they sport the symbol of the Shushu Guardians Order, which he no longer deems himself worthy of. At the end of the episode, he gets them back, turning the tunic into a BadassCape.
* RollercoasterMine: The Brâkmarian transport system.
* RollingPinOfDoom: Chouqette's WeaponOfChoice.
* RoofHopping: "Rubilaxia"
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Prince Armand, princess Amalia, and their father the Sadida king all fit this trope. These three are also probably the most powerful Sadidas in the series, which may have to do with their [[spoiler:special link to the Tree of Life]].
* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler:The Masked Gobbowler]] during the Brâkmarian gobbowl arc.
* SandWorm: Rubilax's possessed body, shortly, in episode 22.
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler: Qilby]] Where it Le Zint it is quite obvious something is not right at the beginning, where his kind and sensible demeanor is slowly replaced with a more jaded outlook, combined with some dark humor which all leads up to his complete transformation to SlasherSmile GigglingVillain.
* SaveTheVillain: Evangelyne to Remington.
* TheScapegoat: Ogrest may not actually be responsible for the so-called Ogrest's Chaos. While there are a lot of people who believe in the former, there are also quite some who dismiss this explanation plus other opinions of varying degrees between those two.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Sadlygrove's [[TookALevelInBadass level in badass]] includes one of these.
* SceneryCensor: A lot during the bathing scene of episode 14 of season 2. Most notably the rather ''smug'' rubber duck conveniently drifting by.
* ScreamingWoman: Eva and Amalia in episode 13, mostly for parody.
* ScreenShake: During episode 26, while Nox's lair is slowly falling apart.
* SdrawkcabName
** Like in the game, almost every class' (and therefore god's) name is a joke based on a backwards word or term in French.
*** For some tongue-in-cheek ProductPlacement, Sadida (nature people) is "Adidas" (the full class name in ''{{Dofus}}'' is "Sadida's Shoe"), Xelor (time mage) is "Rolex", and Sram (assassin) is Mars (the candy bar, or the Roman god)...
*** Crâ (ranger) is "Arc" (French for "bow");
*** Ecaflip (gambler) becomes Pilface, or "Pile ou face" (the French expression for "Heads or tails");
*** Éliatrope (teleporter) is "Portail" ("portal") with an "e" on either side;
*** Eniripsa (healer) is "Aspirine" ("aspirin");
*** Enutrof (treasure-hunter) is "Fortune";
*** Osamodas (beast-master) is "Sado-maso" (French slang for [[WhipItGood S&M]]);
*** Iop (dumb muscle) is "Pois" ("pea" -- "avoir un petit pois dans la tête" [litterally, having nothing but a pea in your head] is slang for being stupid);
*** "Yop" is also the name of a brand of tubed yogurt that the developers had frequently while designing the original premise of ''Dofus'', just like how "Sram" backwards is also the name of a snack the developers liked;
** Rubilax (Sadlygrove's sword) is an approximate backwards spelling of "Excalibur";
** Kabrok (the merchant and "villain" of episode 3) reverts to Korbak/Corbac which is slang for "raven";
** Sybannak (the Sadida from episode 7) is an alternate backwards spelling of "Cannabis";
** The ugly princesses from episode 4 all have names relating to their maladies:
*** Eenca is "Acnée" ("acne");
*** Ydalipe is "Épilady" (the verb "épiler" means "to remove unwanted hair");
*** Erpel is "Lèpre" ("leprosy").
** Even going so far as calling a whole continent of the world "Amakna", which reverses "Ankama", the developer's studio.
* SealedEvilInACan: Shushus are a kind of elemental demon that have been trapped within an object, entrusted to Knights of the Order of the Guardians of the Shushus.
** Rubilax is the sword guarded by Sadlygrove.
** Shadofang is a ring, guarded by [[spoiler:Wagnar, a.k.a. Vampyro]].
** There's also Grufon, who is sealed in an enchanted map, but since he's only a minor Shushu he has no guardian [[spoiler:-- until Yugo volunteers, but solely to trick the naïve Imp back into its map prison]].
** Naturally, ''all'' of Remington's Shushus count.
** Anathar was imprisoned in a cloak guarded by the Justice Knight Senior.
* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: Remington
* SelectiveGravity: Yugo's hat defies the laws of gravity on several occasions.
* SemiDivine
** Goultard, son of Iop.
** Ush Galesh, son of Ecaflip.
* SensualSpandex: Evangelyne's season 2 outfit.
* SeparatedAtBirth: Yugo and Adamaï.
* SeriesFranchise
* SeriousBusiness
** Gobbowl! Each season has an entire arc dedicated to the sport.
** Baking in season 1 episode 8. The winner gets to present his fare to the King of Bonta. (Note that baking contests do exist in France -- and the best baker becomes the provider for the Élysée Palace.)
* ServileSnarker: Evangelyne is technically Amalia's bodyguard, but she's hardly all-respectful toward the princess. Really, she's more of an older sister to Amalia.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Nox's desire to [[spoiler:save the family that he lost 200 years before the show]] has driven him to go from a simple watchmaker to arguably one of the most powerful [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity (and insane)]] magic-users of all time. Unfortunately, while he is a skilled enough time mage to [[TimeStandsStill slow time to a standstill]], he is unable to actually travel backwards in time. He believes that this is a [[PoweredByAForsakenChild power requirement issue]], and now seeks to drain enough wakfu from the plants, animals, and people of the world to achieve his goal. It is mentioned that he has drained entire countries dry over the years, and his plan during season 1 involves [[spoiler:exterminating an entire race of people]] to gain the wakfu he needs.\\\
Of course, Grougaloragran also mentions that [[spoiler:it won't actually work, as time travel is simply impossible no matter how much wakfu he collects, and he'll probably just end up breaking the universe if he tries]]. Nox, however, is [[MoralEventHorizon long]] [[TheUnfettered past]] [[CompleteMonster caring]]. As it turns out, [[spoiler:Grougaloragran was partially right. Rewinding time was not impossible, but it did [[AllThereInTheManual create time rifts]] that caused a ''Wakfu: The Guardians'' villain to travel back to the ''{{Dofus}}'' era. Had Nox been able to rewind 200 years as intended instead of 20 minutes, it's entirely possible that the universe would indeed have been destroyed]].
* SexyMentor: Maude
* ShapedLikeItself: During the Mmmmmmmmmporpg's first move.
-->'''Jactance:''' I have never seen a speed so... speedy!
* ShapeshifterModeLock: Adamaï, between episodes 21 and 23, is stuck in Tofu form after being [[JustEatHim swallowed whole]] by Igôle, because of Nox's Xelor magic interfering with his own.
* ShareTheMalePain: The ghouls after Evangelyne kicks [[spoiler:Rubilax]] below the belt in season 2 episode 3.
* SharedUniverse: ''{{Dofus}}''
* ShipTease: Yugo and Amilia; they have a lot of suttle suggestions throughout the series.
* ShirtlessScene
** Yugo in episode 6;
** Sadlygrove starting episode 22;
** In season 2 episode 8, the male heroes undress in an attempt to escape the Justice Knight's prison.
** In the Brâkmarian gobbowl arc, ''Amalia''.
* ShockAndAwe: The giant gerbil can shoot lightning from two organs above its eyes. The beast is also immune to electricity, making an AttackReflector useless.
* ShooOutTheClowns
** Grufon the map Shushu is unaccounted for in season 1 after episode 18, though he's back in season 2.
** Az the Tofu is entrusted to Canar's care before Yugo joins back his friends for the finale battle in episode 24.
** The same could be argued for [[spoiler:Sadlygrove's death]] in episode 25, though things were already quite serious by then. [[spoiler:HesBack by season 2 episode 2.]]
** Possibly the case for Ruel as well, considering that he was separated from and hardly even mentioned by the other heroes for several episodes, only to have a [[DeusExMachina bit part]] in the season 1 finale.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler:Nox's ''entire life.'']]
* ShoutOut
** Zaaps are a reference to [[http://www.lilletourism.com/se_deplacer_dans_lille-1-0-5-fr.html ZAP Tickets]], half-price subway tickets. (Ankama's offices and studios are located less than a block from a subway station, and many of the employees take the subway to and from work.)
** Yugo has the ability to create VideoGame/{{portal}}s, and what is the most powerful item in the world? The [[CompanionCube Eliacube]], duh...
** Season 1 episode 1: The villager in the loo reading a "''[[{{Magazine/Playboy}} Plébowl]]''" magazine (also seen in episode 12).
** Season 1 episode 3: One of the items mentioned in the store is [[CaptainAmerica Captain Amakna's Shield]].
** Season 1 episode 4: The {{Rapunzel}} FairyTale, of course, with princess Ydalipe.
** Season 1 episode 6: See SistineSteal below.
** Season 1 episode 11: Ruel's PastelChalkedFreezeFrame is inspired from ''Manga/SpaceAdventureCobra'', where this trope is frequent. The 3-episode Gobbowl arc is in fact similar to the 4-episode "Rug Ball" arc from this same anime.
** Season 1 episode 12: "[[{{Asterix}} Those Bontarians are crazy!]]" This episode also features an incident similar to one in ''Astérix in Britain'', where the ball from a sport match flies far away over the sea to hit someone on the head.
** Season 1 episode 13: There is [[{{Film/Alien}} an eighth passenger aboard]]...
** Season 1 episode 14: Willow uses a line from ''WesternAnimation/{{He-Man and the Masters of the Universe}}'' in the original French, only using a hammer instead of a sword.
** Season 1 episode 16:
*** Enutrof speaking to Ruel through a ray of light is reminiscent of a very well-known series of French ads, themselves spoofing the ''Literature/DonCamillo'' movies.
*** Sadlygrove isn't able to pronounce Grougaloragran correctly; he even call him... "GurrenLagann"!
** Season 1 episode 18:
*** While searching a name for their adventuring party...
-->'''Evangelyne:''' And what about "the Fellowship of the Ring"?\\
'''Ruel:''' Too obvious. It's surely chosen already...
*** The female captain uses a HurricaneOfEuphemisms similar to those of [[{{Tintin}} Captain Haddock]], and says something quite close to his CatchPhrase: "''Tonnerre d'Ogrest''" (for "''Tonnerre de Brest''").
** Season 1 episode 21: Adamaï in mentor mode starts speaking like [[StarWars Yoda]].
** Season 1 episode 22: The Iop greeting dance has some moves very similar to ''DragonBallZ'''s FusionDance.
** Season 1 episode 25: "[[GurrenLagann GIGA DRILL!]]", anyone?
** Season 2 episode 8: This one is full of shout-outs to the American Superheroes Genre, notably with "[[CaptainAmerica Mister Fabulous]]", the "[[{{Spiderman}} Laughing Buffoon]]" (the Green Goblin) and the "[[JusticeLeague Justice Clique]]".
** Season 2 episode 10:
*** The two snow squirrels at the start of the episode are an obvious homage to Scrat and Scratette from the ''IceAge'' movies.
*** The hooded man's gesture in the bar is rather [[StarWars reminiscent]] of [[ANewHope Obi-Wan's]] JediMindTrick. The waitress even calls him "Obi".
*** The prosecutor does some [[GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger poses]] very similar to characters in the ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' series.
*** Also, this one introduces a character named {{Evangelion}} [[spoiler:(actually a [[GenderBender gender-bending]] Eva)]].
** Season 2 episode 11: A few with the Brak'n'Black players:
*** Leolbrake the Ecaflip looks like TheJoker.
*** Albarus the Osamodas has a bowler hat and overall allure evocative of the droogs in ''Film/AClockworkOrange''.
*** Aktator the Pandawa has fallen in a barrel of bamboo milk when little and gotten extraordinary strenght out of the deal -- like Obélix of ''{{Asterix}}''.
** Season 2 episode 12:
*** The KamehameHadoken taught by [[spoiler:Maude, a.k.a. the Masked Gobbowler]] to Kriss Krass is an obvious ''Manga/DragonBall'' parody.
*** The lone chair before the prison cell of The Mmmmmmmmmporpg can't help but make one thinks about ''TheSilenceOfTheLambs''.
*** The Mmmmmmmmmporpg himself is named after a real-life [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/meuporg-or-mmmporpg French meme.]]
*** Ruel shouts out, "YouShallNotPass!", another reference to ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''.
** Season 2 episode 14:
*** [[{{Music/Metallica}} Pandallica]]
*** [[Music/LadyGaga Lady Glagla]]
** Season 2 episode 15: The "Mini-Wakfu" segment in the style of different {{Video Game}}s:
*** ''SuperMario''
*** ''{{Sonic}}''
*** ''BreakOut''
*** ''SpaceInvaders''
*** ''{{VideoGame/Tetris}}''
*** ''PacMan''
** Season 2 episode 19: "[[AFistfulOfDollars For a Fistful of Kamas]]"
** Season 2 episode 20: A scene very reminiscent of ''{{Film/Titanic}}''[='=]s "King of the world" one. Complete with a [[TheJimmyHartVersion Jimmy Hart Version]] of "My Heart Will Go On".
** Season 2 episode 21: And another, this time to the prologue of ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', with a monkeyfied Ruel throwing a bone in the air in slow motion, along with appropriate music.
** Season 2 episode 22: The rings look a lot like [[TheLordOfTheRings The One Ring]].
* ShovelStrike: The weapon of choice of Enutrofs, like Ruel and Alibert.
* SickEpisode: Amalia in season 1 episode 7.
* SingleTear: Qilby in episode 20 of season 2.
* SinisterScythe: [[spoiler:Qilby]].
* SistineSteal
** The ceiling of the throne room in Vampyro's castle features a parody of the Sistine Chapel fresco ''Creation of Adam'' by Michelangelo, with Vampyro in Adam's spot.
** Another one with The Mmmmmmmmmporpg and Maude during episode 12 of season 2, plus LampshadeHanging by Ruel.
* SituationalSword: Rubilax, being a four-element Shushu, has a number of different forms.
* TheSixthRanger
** [[spoiler:Adamaï]] in season 1.
** [[spoiler:Cléophée]] in season 2.
* {{Sizeshifter}}
** Rubilax as a sword -- and also [[spoiler:when freed from it]].
** Ruel's guard dog.
** Anathar when [[spoiler:he steals Rubilax's power in season 2 episode 9]].
* SkyPirate: The air pirates in season 2 episode 7.
* SkywardScream: Along with Adamaï's BigNo in episode 16.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: While they are not targeted as much as resident PluckyComicRelief Sadlygrove, the girls get their fair share of comedic scrapes. Amalia is the most common victim; the two Gobbowl arcs in particular are especially harsh for her. Evangelyne less often, although she's hardly immune, notably in season 1 episode 4.
* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:Qilby]].
* SleepCute
* SlipperySkid: Sadlygrove stepping on a squid in episode 15.
* SmashingHallwayTrapsOfDoom: Another DeathTrap in the Dragon-Pig's lair.
* SmokeOut: Chouquette, with a cloud of flour.
* {{Smurfing}}: Usually, any word that means stupid can be replaced with "Iop". In a way could be seen as FantasticRacism.
* SnakePeople: The Bellaphones' true form.
* SnapToTheSide
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick
** Rubilax provides cutting remarks whenever Sadlygrove fails a task [[IdiotHero (which is often)]].
** About all imprisoned Shushus fall into this role. This is lampshaded by Bourlof, who mentions that being stuck in an item, they don't have much else left to do.
* SnotBubble
** By [[spoiler:Sadlygrove]] in episode 8 of season 2.
** And Kriss Krass's "lawyer" in episode 10 of season 2.
* SomethingElseAlsoRises: In episode 12, Jay the Iop has his hair standing straight up when around Evangelyne. Twice.
* SophisticatedAsHell: Sort of, in episode 10. Ruel's "Seeing how popular I was with the ladies at the time, are you sure I'm ''not'' your father?" is a comparatively polite way of saying, "IBangedYourMom."
* SphereOfPower
** Nox' timestops.
** Grougaloragran's teleport.
* SpiderTank
** Nox's Giant Clock of Doom is closer to this trope, though it has shades of BaseOnWheels or HumongousMecha too.
** Smaller spider-tanks are also used by Nox's mooks during the attack of the Sadida kingdom.
* SpinOff: We start with the setting of the MMORPG ''{{Dofus}}''. 1000 years later starts the setting of ''Wakfu'', on which the TV series is based. Based on the TV series (and the provided background of the Eliatropes) is ''Wakfu: Les Gardiens'', plus the ''Wakfu Heroes'' graphic novels and the ''Mini-Wakfu'' shorts. The BigBad of ''Les Gardiens'' [[spoiler:travels back in time caused by Nox interfering with the space-time continuum]] and serves as an important character of ''{{Dofus}}'' first Add-On "Frigost". Ankama sure loves the idea of Cross-Media...
* SpinToDeflectStuff: Ruel with his shovel.
* SpitTake
** Ruel in episode 10, all over his friend Calben, from Amalia's yell surprising him.
** Evangelyne in season 2 episode 2, toward the "camera", [[spoiler:when she hears Grovy's voice in the forest]].
* SplitScreenReaction: Rather common, and overused during the Bontarian Gobbowl arc.
* SpoilerOpening
** Very minor, but [[spoiler:Adamaï in humanoid form]] can be seen in the background of the first season opening, when he doesn't actually appear until episode 15.
** Averted with the second season opening, however, which is different for the first four episodes as to not spoil [[spoiler:Sadlygrove's return]].
* SpotlightStealingSquad
** Kriss and eventually [[spoiler:Maude]] in the Brâkmarian Gobbowl arc, to the point that Yugo and the Brotherhood have very little to do with the story itself.
** To a lesser extent, [[spoiler:Grovy]] in Season 2, as most of the episodes of Season 2 so far have been about him (1-5) or the mythos surrounding him (7-8), so much so that the main plot of Season 2 doesn't start until Episode 6!
* SqueakyEyes
** Az the Tofu has a variety of sounds associated with almost every action, including a blinking sound effect.
** The Justice Knight's eyes don't squeak, but his golden mask has eyebrows that make a rusty squeaking sound whenever he moves them.
* StabTheSky: The Justice Knight routinely does this, and his father too.
* StealthPun: Ruel's Havresac. A haversack is just a type of bag, but Ruel's specifically is a "bag" (''sac'') which provides a "haven" (''havre'') for the heroes, making it a literal "haven-bag".
* SteppingStonesInTheSky
** Nox does this, but it's while time is stopped.
** Sadlygrove also does it, but in [[spoiler:Eva's dream]] in episode 20.
** Ruel shortly jumps atop the rocks thrown around by the emergence of the monster chasing him in season 2 episode 1.
* SteppingStoneSword: Eva uses Bourlof to this end. The Shushu isn't pleased about it.
* SticksToTheBack
** Remington's Shushu sword.
** Bourlof while carried by Eva.
* StockScream
** The Wilhelm Scream is heard during episode 12 of season 2.
** And once again during episode 22 of season 2.
* StoicSpectacles: Qilby
* SunglassesAtNight: During the funeral in episode 22 of season 2.
* SuperBreath: Igôle inverts this trope with a powerful "inspiration", which it uses to swallow its preys.
* SuperDeformed: Appears in the series proper, for {{Flashback}}s or {{Imagine Spot}}s. Notably Sadlygrove's sunstroke-induced "conscience" in season 1 episode 22, as well as the lengthy video-game sequence in season 2 episode 15.
* SuperMode
** Nox throws a superb one in episode 17. Heck, he's even called ''Ultimate Nox'' in the video game!
** [[DemonicPossession Rubilax-possessed Sadlygrove]] could qualify, since he's much more powerful, [[UnstoppableRage but has much less control]].
* SupernaturallyDeliciousAndNutritious: An ancient dragon like Grougaloragran is the biggest source of wakfu Nox can dream of, and thus he stays on the lookout for him -- for 10 years.
* SuperpowerLottery
** Followers of Xelor, notably [[BigBad Nox]], have the ability to ''alter time''.
** Likewise, [[TheHero Yugo]] can ''bend space'' and [[spoiler:''fire super-lasers'']] by creating portals.
* SuperSenses: Evangelyne, as a Crâ, have above-average senses when focusing. Notably telescopic vision in season 1 episode 25 and season 2 episode 4 -- quite handy for an archer. Also hearing (implied) in season 1 episode 24.
* SuperSpeed
** Igôle. This even allows it to [[WalkOnWater run over water]].
** The boots gobbowlers wear also grant this power, temporarily.
** The Mmmmmmmmmporpg. His speed is even beyond the one granted by Gobbowl boots, he can use it at will, and it [[BurningRubber leaves a trail of fire behind him]].
** [[spoiler:Possessed]] Bordegann.
* SuperStrength: Iops in general. Sadlygrove might not be as strong as his master, [[spoiler:Goultard]], and it mostly depends on the adrenaline rush, but he can still crush rocks with his bare hands. And he gets even stronger when Rubilax possesses him.
* SuplexFinisher: Sadlygrove to one of Rubilax's stone clones in episode 22.
* SurveillanceDrone: The Noxines
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In episode 24, Eva is quick to claim that she doesn't remember any of [[spoiler:her dream]] from episode 20, that there was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary about it, and it definitely did not contain a certain [[IdiotHero stupid Iop]]. Amalia coyly points out that [[LuminescentBlush she's turned as red as a tomato]].
* SwordDrag: The Black Raven, while flying, drag the tip of his huge sword/lance on the ground, leaving a long trail of dust.
* {{Synchronization}}: Sadidas and their dolls. It turns out to be a bad thing in episode 7. And [[spoiler:a [[MeatPuppet very]], [[NightmareFuel ''very'']] bad thing]] in episode 24.
* TakeANumber: In the flashback showing the backstory of the Ugly Princesses, there is such a long line of princes waiting to woo them that they use a "Take a Number" device. Then comes the god Osamodas, who picks [[NumberOfTheBeast number 666]] before laying a curse on the disrespectful princesses.
* TakeOffYourClothes: In the Justice Knight's prison, the guys are failing to neutralize the AntiMagic device with their own clothes... and thus they suggest next that Amalia and Eva contribute. The girls don't take it well.
* TakeOurWordForIt: The dress Amalia tries out at the clothes shop in episode 10 is "a bit short". No, really?
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:Sadlygrove, for Eva,]] in episode 25.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Sadlygrove and Eva's discussion during the assault in episode 18. Borders on IgnoredEnemy as it gets more heated, to Smisse Monde's annoyance.
* TalkingWeapon: Rubilax; Remington's many weapon Shushus; Bourlof the Butcher
* TastyGold
** Ruel biting into a coin is his default pose in the recap at the start of the latter episodes. He also does this in episode 13 after "saving" a kama from sinking in the sea.
** [=McDeek=] [[spoiler:eats gold to make himself more powerful]] in episode 9.
* TattooedCrook: Quite a few of the pirates in episode 19 of season 2.
* TeamPet
** Az the Tofu
** Kamasu-Tar Junior the Dhreller
* TentacleRope
** A common Sadida tactic when fighting with vines.
** Also used by Deserboss, Nox's puppet from episode 24.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: Exist under many form, besides the Zaap PortalNetwork.
** You have Yugo's power, Nox's TeleportSpam, Vampyro's VillainTeleportation...
** The Noxines can also create medium-sized portals which Nox's Mooks then use, before building a much bigger, horizontal portal through which the whole Giant Clock SpiderTank can fit.
** You can also use teleportation by drinking potions, [[AllThereInTheManual like in the game]], although the potions can only transport you back to one location.
** Grougaloragran can also performs teleportation, even on entire areas rather than on just people. When he [[spoiler:sends the FiveManBand plus Adamaï to safety]] at the end of episode 16, it takes away a good chunk of the island.
** Evangelyne uses a "recall arrow" in season 2 episode 2, which can bring back the people touching it to the spot from where the arrow was fired.
* TeleportSpam: Yugo; Nox
* TempleOfDoom: The Dragon-Pig's lair.
* TestosteronePoisoning: The effect of the potion during the Brâkmarian Gobbowl arc. It doesn't just gender-bend the females drinking it; it turns them into tall, hunky, [[CarpetOfVirility hairy]], overly-muscular specimen of manliness. Quite noticeable [[spoiler:with Eva and Amalia, especially when they suddenly turn back female and you realize how petite they are compared to the male forms]].
* ThatsNoMoon: Mount Zinit [[spoiler:is actually the Eliatropes' ancient space ship]].
* {{Thememobile}}: The Justice Train.
* ThematicThemeTune
* ThemeTuneCameo: Characters sometimes whistle the opening theme song.
** Ruel even hums it and references some of the lyrics. A big example of this trope is when Ruel uses a remix of the theme song as the sequence to a ''dance-pad activated lock to his house'' right afterwards.
** [[spoiler:Evangelyne's mirage]] also hums this [[SingingInTheShower while showering]] in episode 22.
* ThereIsAnother: [[spoiler:Qilby the Eliatrope]], who appears in season 2 episode 6.
* ThinkingUpPortals: Eliatropes' trademark power.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Grougaloragran; Sybannak
* ThisCannotBe: Even so far as Nox saying "This is impossible!" multiple times in episode 26.
** First while Adamaï breaks his timestop [[spoiler:in order to stop him from killing Yugo]].
** Next [[spoiler:after Yugo accidently transports Nox's whole Clock-mecha to the end of the world]].
** And then [[spoiler:when Yugo manages to move and finally break Nox's most powerful timestop, which even Grougaloragran couldn't]].
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Nox has such a moment during the fight in episode 17, just before Grougaloragran uses his BreathWeapon on him at point-blank... with enough power to ''wake up all the volcanoes of the island''.
-->'''Nox:''' Ehehe... well, at least it won't hurt much. ''(closes eyes)''
* ThongOfShielding: [[CampGay Canar]] wears one.
* ThresholdGuardians
** Yugo meets such a guardian in the person of [[spoiler:Adamaï, his dragon brother, and the {{improvised golem|s}} he conjures]], who are putting the hero's Eliatrope powers to the test.
** Later, Rubilax himself officies as a Threshold Guardian to Sadlygrove, when [[spoiler:his master, Goultard, frees the Shushu from the sword]]. Sadlygrove has to fight and beat Rubilax to earn his respect, as he can't hope staying a Shushu guardian otherwise.
* TimeCrash: It is stated that, if [[spoiler:Nox would have managed to travel back 200 years instead of 20 minutes]], this would have broken the universe's space-time-continuum.
* ToBeContinued
** Used as cliffhangers during the mini-arcs of season 1 (Gobbowl Tournament, Oma Island, Assault on the Sadida Kingdom).
** Also with the episodes of the season 2 Gobbowl arc, over a PastelChalkedFreezeFrame.
* ToiletHumour: Ruel is sometimes the subject of this. Most prominently in season 2 episode 5.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Evangelyne and Amalia, respectively.
* TonightSomeoneDies / TrailersAlwaysSpoil: Long before the episodes were even completed, Ankama was promising fans that the season 1 finale would be a TearJerker, causing a lot of fans to debate over which character would end up dying. When they were finally ready, the trailer for the three-episode season 1 finale included a scene of [[spoiler:Evangelyne vowing to die alongside Sadlygrove]] as they're about to be hit by Razortime's powerful attack, which generated even more hype for those episodes.
* TookALevelInBadass: At different times throughout the series, most of the characters take a few levels. The best example would be Sadlygrove, whose TrainingFromHell in episode 22 makes him a real {{Badass}}. He even changes clothes to look more awesome.
* TrainingThePeacefulVillagers: Episode 5.
* TravelingLandmass: Rubilaxia
* TreeCover
* TreetopTown: The Kaniboule's village in episode 14.
* TriangRelations
** Season 1: Type 4 -- a) Armand; b) Evangelyne; c) Sadlygrove
** Season 2: A new triangle seems to be shaping up with Eva's sister Cléophée showing interest in Sadlygrove.
* TribalCarry: Happens to Yugo, Amalia, and Evangelyne in episode 15.
* TrickArrow: About all of Evangelyne's arrows are this. They can explode, encase the target in ice, or even teleport people back to the firing spot.
* TrickedOutShoes: Ruel has tricked-out sandals.
* {{Troperiffic}}: Just take a quick scroll through this page...
* TroubledFetalPosition: Amalia in episode 25, while feeling [[spoiler:the destruction of every tree in the forest]].
* {{Tsundere}}
** Evangelyne. This is a bit of a unique case in that her feelings towards Sadlygrove fit the ''original'' definition of a {{Tsundere}}, [[DefrostingIceQueen in which a girl warms up to a guy]] [[CharacterDevelopment over time]]. This first starts being evident in episode 18, where she's [[LuminescentBlush noticably flustered by his comments]]. Episode 20 is about 22 minutes of showing her ''deredere'' side: [[spoiler:considering that her and Amalia are essentially stuck in a LotusEaterMachine, her fantasies show that she actually ''likes'' Sadlygrove's over-the-top displays of affection]].
** Amalia's and Eva's relationship fits this in a non-romantic sense sometimes ([[MamaBear especially]] in "Vampyro").
** Rubilax arguably is Tsundere towards Sadlygrove. Not romantically, but more with regards to liking him as a friend at all. After season one, [[spoiler:his behavior in the second season after reviving Sadlygrove largely seems like a Tsun-Tsun response to Sadlygrove calling out the fact that Rubilax saved his life]].
* TunnelKing
** Kamasu-Tar Junior, and drhellers in general.
** As well as Ruel if there's gold on the tab.
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The series is set ten years after the MMO.
* ATwinkleInTheSky: The Gobbowl ball in episode 12, which gets shot all the way to Moon's island.
* TwitchyEye: The Mmmmmmmmmporpg upon hearing his [[EmbarrassingFirstName real name]].
* TwoOutOfThreeAintBad: Yugo says something to this effect in the first episode after he [[MartialArtsAndCrafts serves two dishes kung-fu-style]] with expert precision, but splatters Ruel in the face with the third.
* {{Uberwald}}: Katrepat Town
* UglyGuyHotWife: Kabrok and Miranda.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Arguably, Amalia to her dad.
* UmbrellaDrink
** [[spoiler:Goultard]] manages to have such a drink, with umbrella and straw, in the desert while watching Sadlygrove duelling with Rubilax.
** Rushu himself enjoys searing lava drinks fittingly in a skull, cup complete with drinking straw (made of someone's spine) and umbrella.
* UncannyValley: Very deliberately invoked with Nox's mechanical puppets. Their crude looks and jerky movements contribute to make the scene as creepy as possible. Also, Nox himself, [[UnroboticReveal once you realize that his body is not another clockwork automaton]].
* UncomfortableElevatorMoment: In season 2 episode 4, complete with an elevator music remix of the opening theme.
* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:Goultard]]'s excuse for not being dead in episode 22.
* TheUnfettered: Nox, who will pursue his plan to no end, even when he is told that [[spoiler:turning back time is impossible, and the only thing he will achieve by trying is destroying the universe]].
* UnorthodoxSheathing: Remington with his Shushu dagger.
* TheUnpronounceable: The Mmmmmmmmmporpg (Meuporg)
* TheUnreveal
** Nox removing his helmet in episode 13. We only see him from behind.
** Yugo taking his hat off in episode 8 of season 2. We still don't see his head, though.
* UnstoppableRage
** Sadlygrove enters a berserker state in episode 22 [[spoiler:after Rubilax gloats about his plan of freeing an army of Shushus -- and of turning Evangelyne into a ghoul]]. He gains BlankWhiteEyes, and then proceeds to kick the asses of dozens of Rubilax's stone clones.
** The Mmmmmmmmmporpg's UnstoppableRage in episode 12 of season 2 is especially impressive, resulting in a good part of Brâkmar getting leveled.
* UseYourHead
** How Sadlygrove [[spoiler:defeats Rubilax]] in episode 22, following his mentor's advice.
** Rubilax's head is the one used in season 2 episode 9, to escape Rushu.
* VariableTerminalVelocity
** In season 2 episode 3, Evangelyne jumps after [[spoiler:Sadlygrove imprisoned in Rubilax's sword]] that Remington simply dropped, and catches up to it.
** In season 2 episode 7, [[spoiler:Sadlygrove has his turn saving her]] by jumping on an air pirate and seizing his steed before catching up to Evangelyne who was falling into the sea.
* VaudevilleHook: Happens to one of the contestants in episode 14 of season 2.
* VerbalTic: Wabbits pronounce all "r"s like "w"s. Similarly, Lenalds replace all "r"s with "l"s (''renard'' is French for fox, and they are fox-like creatures).
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Both ends of scale aren't very extreme, thanks to [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism people often being more selfish and mean-spirited]] than is typical in a SugarBowl setting, and the BigBad being a WellIntentionedExtremist. However, it is undeniable, that in a show where most villains weren't taken seriously, or allowed to do real harm, [[KnightOfCerebus Nox]] certainly was.
* VillainousBreakdown
** Nox was never particularly stable, but after [[spoiler:Grougaloragran blows himself up in order to prevent Nox from draining his wakfu, (temporarily) thwarting his plans to travel back in time to save his family]] in episode 17, he really loses it.
** He has an even bigger one when [[spoiler:the Eliacube drains all the wakfu he has collected over the last 200 years just to travel back ''20 minutes'']] during the season 1 finale.
* VillainTeleportation: Nox, and to a lesser extent Vampyro. Subverted, since Yugo also uses a form of teleportation (however, it's of a different nature than Nox's).
* TheVoiceless: The Masked Gobbowler [[spoiler:until the DramaticUnmask]].
* VoicesAreMental: Anyone possessed speaks with the Shushu's voice. [[spoiler:That's how Eva can tell something is wrong with Grovy's body in season 2 episode 2 as soon as he talks, recognizing Rubilax's voice.]]
* VolcanicVeins
** Rubilax, when he turns into a {{BFS}} [[spoiler:as well as in his true demonic form]].
** Rushu, lord of the Shushus.
* VomitDiscretionShot
** Happens to both Sadlygrove and Ruel after they went through Yugo's portals.
** And to the male judge of the baking contest at the sight of the Ecaflip contestant's methods.
** Also repeatedly to Sadlygrove during any boat trip.
** Several spectators do barf while watching Cléophée taking up Ruel's challenge to eat some disgusting cooking.
* WackyWaysideTribe: About all of the first half of season 1, from leaving Emelka to reaching Oma Island. Largely {{Justified|Trope}} since most of the {{Side Quest}}s result from [[spoiler:[[TheImp Grufon]] (the magical map) leading them astray out of spite]].
* WalkingShirtlessScene
** Kriss Krass
** Master Goultard
** Sadlygrove too, starting episode 22.
** [[spoiler:"Amalius"]] during the Brâkmarian gobbowl arc.
** [[spoiler:Qilby]] after his power-up.
* WarriorPrince: Prince Armand, Amalia's brother.
* WasOnceAMan: Grany Smisse
* WatchOutForThatTree
** Armand conjure a tree right into Grovy's path in episode 19.
** In episode 21, Yugo runs straight into rock walls a few times, as he's trying to master AuraVision with his eyes sealed shut.
** [[spoiler:Baby Grougal]] chasing after Az in season 2 episode 6.
** And then, Adamaï chasing after [[spoiler:Baby Grougal]] in season 2 episode 9.
* WeaksauceWeakness
** Vampyro seems to have [[IncrediblyLamePun an allergy to Tofu]]. Any contact with Az turns him into a GrotesqueCute midget.
** Rushu, the king of the Shushus, pitches a fit whenever he sees a bow-meow. They're just too cute and fluffy.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: The Gobbowl arc, both times.
* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Evangelyne has a very trippy experience in episode 20.
* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Deserboss using the corrupted Sadidas [[spoiler:to build the teleporter]].
* WhenYouSnatchThePebble:
-->'''Adamaï:''' If you can take my hand I will tell you what you want to know.
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: The season 1 ending.
* WillingChanneler: Both Amalia [[spoiler:with the Tree of Life]] and Sadlygrove [[spoiler:with Rubilax, for once leaving the control to his guardian,]] in episode 24.
* WingdingEyes: Lady Glagla from episode 14 of season 2 has star-shaped pupils.
* WingedHumanoid: [[TheMedic Eniripsas]] have fairy-like wings.
* WingsDoNothing: The Dragon-Pig has ridiculously small wings.
* WithDueRespect: Evangelyne to Amalia, a few times, notably in episode 6.
* WonderChild: Yugo
* TheWorfEffect: Sadlygrove (and Rubilax) gets beaten quite a lot by the Monsters of the Week.
* AWorldwidePunomenon
** In season 1 episode 8, you can bet that about every possible wordplay or expression related to bread or wheat or flour has been used.
** Same thing in season 2 episode 5, with all wordplay or expression imaginable about pigs and delicatessen.
* WouldntHitAGirl: In season 2 episode 12, The Mmmmmmmmmporpg [[spoiler:apologizes for hurting [[ActionGirl Eva]]]] because, you know, women are weak.
* WreathedInFlames: Rushu. And his lower body ''is'' fire.
* WreckedWeapon: [[spoiler:Eva's bow]] in episode 19.
* WretchedHive: Brâkmar. Unusual, though, in that it is a CapitalCity on par with Bonta.
* WrittenByTheWinners: [[spoiler:Qilby states that he himself was the king of the Eliatropes]] in season 2 episode 6, contradicting the events of ''Islands of Wakfu''.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Sadlygrove, at times, thinking he's TheHero while he's at best TheBigGuy (and PluckyComicRelief), or believing himself to be the most powerful member of the team (whom Grougaloragran more correctly identifies as OldMaster Ruel). Being a knight, he is thoroughly convinced that it's his duty to protect [[DistressedDamsel beautiful princesses]]. (Well, the last part turns out to be straight GenreSavvy in the hindsight.)
* XRaySparks
** Vampyro does this to Sadlygrove with a mere touch in episode 6.
** Posho at the beginning of episode 12... from the Eniripsa's vigorous "healing".
** Adamaï gets his turn when struck by the giant gerbil's lightning in season 2 episode 1.
* YouDidntAsk: Remington's Shushus, about [[spoiler:Sword!Sadlygrove's true nature]].
* YouFool: Given to Yugo by Nox.
-->'''Nox:''' You fool! No-one except me can touch the Cube!
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair
** Fecas
** Sadidas all have green hair.
* YouHaveFailedMe: See BadBoss above.
-->'''[[{{Mooks}} Grouilleux]]:''' It's no use, they're too strong!\\
'''[[EliteMooks Red Berserker]]:''' Those who flee will have to stand before the master! Those who are scared will have to face the great Nox!
* YoureInsane: During his fight against Nox in episode 17, Grougaloragran repeatedly calls him a madman, but Nox pays this no heed. Later, both Yugo and Adamaï give him a "You're insane!" speech at the end of the final fight in episode 26. [[spoiler:However, since it is after Nox's whole plan is crumbling around him -- with, literally, his giant clock mecha -- this time the Xelor may actually be listening.]]
* YourEyesCanDeceiveYou: Yugo has his eyes temporarily shut in episode 21 while training [[spoiler:his wakfu-sensing abilities]] with Adamaï.
* ZergRush: The aptly-named "Rush" in Rushu's world consist of being attacked by [[NumberOfTheBeast 666]] minor Shushus.
* ZettaiRyouiki
** Evangelyne's outfit in season 1, with the thigh-high boots variant.
** Shanon Stone
** Alia from episode 16 of season 2.
* ZombieApocalypse: What happened to the Pandalusia village in season 2 episode 13.

!!''The Legend of Ogrest'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationDyeJob: Yugo has darker hair in this special than in the series.
* AlwaysABiggerFish: The GiantEnemyCrab gets eaten by a GiantSquid.
* ArtificialHuman: Dathura, one of the magic dolls created by the god Sadida.
* ArtShift: The animation of this special was done by StudioGhibli. It shows.
* BagOfHolding: Otomaï has a Havresac where he carries his many alchemical concoctions, as well as Dathura and the Stones.
* BigEater: Ogrest. He has an ''extra-dimensional stomach''.
* BlessedWithSuck: Ogrest is a being made from an Ogrine and is gifted with extraordinary strength, durability and longevity. However, his tears are enchanted in such a way that if so much as a drop of them touches the ground, they can cause water levels to spontaneously rise.
* CollapsingLair: Taking the dofus from the boat start a mechanism that causes the whole treasure island to sink.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: As can be expected, Otomaï's potions to create ice, fire or lightning are blue, red, and yellow, respectively.
* ColossusClimb: Ogrest has to fight a [[GiantEnemyCrab giant crustacean]] on the island by climbing it.
* DishDash: A variant with Otomaï frantically catching the toffees before they'd fall in his Ogrine preparation. However, he misses one... and the rest is history.
* DogPileOfDoom: Ogrest with the coral monsters.
* EarWings: Ogrest finds out by accident that his large ears allow him to fly by flapping very fast (hummingbird-like fast, in fact). It's quite instinctive at the start and he has a hard time controlling it, leading to a few crashes.
* EggMacGuffin: The dofus on the treasure boat.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Short-Tail is called "Kiki" by his brothers. He doesn't like it, but since he'd bet to stay silent for a year, he can't call them on it.

* FramingDevice: The "Legend of Ogrest" is told by Alibert to a bedridden Yugo.

* LookBehindYou: Otomaï, to distract the Ecaflips while he's shapechanging into Short-Tail.
* {{Loveable Rogue}}s: The three Ecaflip brothers.
* LoveMartyr: Despite knowing full well that his "son" was capable of doing such, Otomaï refused to believe that Ogrest was solely responsible for the Great Flood. A belief that is survived through his disciples.
* MacGuffinGirl: Dathura, whom both Otomaï and Ogrest wish to repair and bring to life.
* MacGuffinGuardian: The GiantSquid for the treasure.
* MeaningfulName

* StockScream: The Wilhelm Scream is heard during episode 12 of season 2.

* OverlyLongGag: In episode 4 of season 1, Eva twisting her ankle and falling over when trying to walk in heels has already become a RunningGag, but then she does so while climbing the stairs of [[GirlInTheTower the tower]]. Predictably she[[StaircaseTumble goes over backwards and starts to roll down the stairs]] to a [[OwMyBodyPart litany of pained shrieks]], [[OffscreenCrash crashing sounds]] and [[ThatPoorCat distubed animals]]. Except it goes on... and on... and on... and on. It ends up taking her a full ''fifteen seconds'' to reach the bottom!

*** Enutrof speaking to Ruel through a ray of light is reminiscent of a very well-known series of French ads, themselves spoofing the ''DonCamillo'' movies.

* HorrifyingTheHorror: Rubilax in full rampage mode stops dead on his tracks at the mere sight of [[spoiler:Goultard]] (and tries to ''inconspicuously slither away'' while in the body of a giant worm -- [[{{Funny/Wakfu}} hilarious]]).

** Season two gives us [[OmnicidalManiac Rushu]], the [[EvilOverlord ruler]] of the [[CardCarryingVillain Shushu]], but there's a chance [[HeroKiller Orgonax]] and the [[RobotWar Mechasms]] might show up, given enough time.

* TheNameIsBondJamesBond: Parodied by the pirate captain in episode 19. "My name is Monde... [[PunnyName Smisse Monde]]."

* SemiDivine: Goultard, son of Iop and Ush Galesh, son of Ecaflip.

** Season 2 episode 20: A scene very reminiscent of Film/{{Titanic}}s "King of the world" one.
*** Complete with a [[TheJimmyHartVersion Jimmy Hart Version]] of "My Heart Will Go On."
