Basic Trope: Aliens are similar to if not are giant bugs.
- Played Straight: The alien race called the Tropites have six limbs, attenae, and chitonous exoskeletons, and resemble giant beetles.
- Exaggerated: The Troperites are played by actual bugs.
- Downplayed: While the Troperites superficially resemble bugs, there are key differences.
- Justified: The Troperites's ancestors, alongside their native planet's abnormally rich oxygen composition, were the dominant species, and with no analogues to mammals or reptiles to outclass them, evolved into the more intelligent Troperites.
- Inverted:
- Tropites rsemble mammals.
- Human Aliens
- Played for Laughs: The Tropites react confused to actual beetles.
