Despite its target audience, the show has a small PeripheryDemographic, but you won't hear a lot of people talking about it, since the show's somewhat obscure.



**There's also Multo's "Oh my stars!"



**Zeeter and Bula have this in spades.
*DidNotThinkThisThrough: Dark Truder would succeed in his plans if he'd bother to do his research first.

to:

* GreatBigBookOfEverything: The Multopedia. Just...just the Multopedia. Every principle taught is in here, somewhere. And it IS a DoorStopper.



* LethalChef: Multo. Several episodes depict him making food with all sorts of things, most of them bugs, which the other members of the Zula Patrol aren't exactly fond of eating. 'Time Out' and 'Blue Moon' are good examples of this trope.

to:

* ItsAllAboutMe: Deliria, the galaxy's resident spoiled heiress. It's rare when she does ''anything'' for others.
* LethalChef: Multo. Several episodes depict him making food with all sorts of things, most of them bugs, which the other members of the Zula Patrol aren't exactly fond of eating. His status is known throughout the galaxy, as even ''planets'', including the ''Sun herself'' in 'Sun Day', refused to eat his food. 'Chili Cook-Off' shows what happens when it's left to cool, in which it becomes a massive whirlwind that nearly demolishes their kitchen. 'Time Out' and 'Blue Moon' are also good examples of this trope.


Added DiffLines:

**Deliria herself has this problem. She can shape shift to avoid capture, but part of her disguise will ''always'' show some part of her face in it. Expect her hapless robot servant, Cloid, to be part of the disguise, mainly as a distraction to thrown the team off guard.
