2 [[caption-width-right:350: Mustakrakish, the lake troll]]
3The band accidentally summons an ancient demonic troll during a concert.
4!!Tropes:
5* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Mustakrakish fits this trope.
6* AwesomeButImpractical: The Dethphones. Dethklok designed them while drunk, and Toki complains that they're heavy and the [[SpikesOfVillainy spikes]] hurt his face.
7* BuffySpeak: Nathan's dubious public speaking abilities appear for the first time.
8* ChekhovsGun: The Dethphones.
9* GuttedLikeAFish: A self-inflicted case - Mustakrakish gets a Dethphone stuck in his throat, and while trying to remove it ends up disemboweling himself!
10* HypocriticalHumor: Skwissgaar makes fun of Toki for being unable to read sheet music, but then admits that he can't either, blaming "music dyslexia".
11* ImprovisedWeapon: After the banishing ritual fails the band try throwing their Dethphones at the troll, but don't have much range. Except Murderface, who was a bit pissed by the other end of his call.
12* NoodleIncident: The [[BuffySpeak "alleged happenings"]] that prompted the press conference at the beginning of the episode.
13* ShoutOut / StealthPun: Dethklok awakens a troll in Finland. A Finnish troll. {{Music/Finntroll}}.
14* SkepticismFailure
15--> '''General Crozier''': That's impossible. There's no such thing as trolls.\
16'''Senator Stampingston''': Then how do you explain the dead unicorns?
