Basic trope: Large, often dangerous insects.
- Straight: The bugs are about the size of an average adult human, who they have no trouble swallowing whole.
- Exaggerated: The bugs are about the size of a skyscraper and actively crush humans by the dozen.
- Downplayed: The bugs are about the size of the largest real-life insects, such the Goliath beetle, elephant beetle, giant wētā, or stick insect. They're neutral until provoked and lash out in ways expected of bugs their size.
- Justified:
- The bugs come from a planet with more oxygen than Earth.
- The bugs come from a time period when Earth had more oxygen.
