1 | '''Basic Trope''': A cute critter that can hand out pain and death with no problem. |
2 | * '''Straight''': [[MeaningfulName Kelvin]] is a cute baby unicorn who can shoot [[ShockAndAwe huge bolts of electricity]] from his horn. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Kelvin is a SickeninglySweet baby unicorn who can create giant hurricanes that [[PersonOfMassDestruction can destroy entire cities, and sometimes even planets at will]], [[EyeBeams and he can fire powerful laser beams from his eyes.]] |
5 | ** Every single cute or attractive, [[{{Fanservice}} let alone sexy]], critter in the multiverse is trying to kill you. |
6 | ** CuteIsEvil |
7 | * '''Downplayed''': Kelvin is a rather attractive adult unicorn. The horn ''is'' there for [[HornAttack a reason]]... |
8 | * '''Justified''': |
9 | ** Unicorns were always capable of doing this as a way of self-defense. |
10 | ** "Cute" doesn't discourage most predators, and unicorns are one of the many species that developed something that ''would''. |
11 | ** Alternatively, the unicorns are the predators. |
12 | ** The unicorn knows magic. |
13 | * '''Inverted''': |
14 | ** FakeUltimateMook |
15 | ** PaperTiger |
16 | ** [[FaceOfAThug K'ghtra is a horrifying-looking GiantSpider that is completely harmless]]. |
17 | * '''Subverted''': The electric bolts that Kelvin attacks with are big, but they aren't very painful. |
18 | * '''Double Subverted''': |
19 | ** The electric bolts are just a warning, but he's is also capable of burning down foes to ashes with his fire-breath if they don't get the hint. |
20 | ** The "not-so-painful" electric bolts blind Kelvin's enemies. |
21 | ** Even better, the bolts [[MindRape leave a huge psychological scar]] on the enemies. |
22 | * '''Parodied''': In the story's setting, the cuter a creature is, the stronger it is, while the uglier a monster is, the weaker it is. |
23 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Not all cute creatures have powerful attacking capabilities, but it is impossible to know which do and which don't without someone, at some point, finding out the hard way. |
24 | * '''Averted''': Unicorns are cute/majestic. That's all there is to it. They're even hesitant to ''stab'' attackers with their trademark horns. |
25 | * '''Enforced''': |
26 | ** "Viewers like cute creatures, as well as powerful ones. Let's combine both features to make something that will please all the fans!" |
27 | ** Kelvin was created to teach AnAesop about not underestimating someone or something that looks harmless. |
28 | * '''Lampshaded''': |
29 | ** "It's amazing how a critter so cute can cause so much destruction." |
30 | ** "And ''that's'' why you can't [[PetBabyWildAnimal keep him]]." |
31 | * '''Invoked''': A species of small carnivores has evolved to look much less dangerous than they actually are as a way of catching potential prey off-guard. |
32 | * '''Exploited''': Emperor Evulz offers Kelvin as a present to the hero, figuring the unicorn might kill the hero by accident. |
33 | * '''Defied''': Kelvin refuses to learn offensive powers, arguing that his cuteness would act as a natural form of protection. |
34 | * '''Discussed''': "...and I suppose that when you're spasming uncontrollably on the ground, you'll still call Kelvin 'Cute.'" |
35 | * '''Conversed''': |
36 | -->'''Viewer A''': Whoa! Baby unicorns can ''zap'' people?\ |
37 | '''Viewer B''': Yeah, you didn't know that? |
38 | * '''Deconstructed''': Because they are so cute, many people ignore the unicorns' deadliness (even as ''babies''), and so a lot of pet-owner wannabes adopt baby unicorns. [[NotSoHarmlessPunishment Cue a huge spike in electricity-related deaths]]. |
39 | * '''Reconstructed''': ...but with the proper training, unicorn owners can have their pets shock on command or in defense '''only'''. Unicorn owners rarely have to worry about home invasion. |
