While studying Draco Lizards in the Sumatra rainforest, Chris' new found fear of heights causes a hindrance to the adventure. However, when villanous fashion designer Donita Donata captures all the dracos of the forest, along with Martin, Chris and the rest of the Wild Kratts must set off on a creature rescue.
Tropes
- Accidental Kidnapping: Donita and her henchman's animal collecting vacuum happens to suck up Martin as well when he's out solo exploring. Though Donita actually sees it as an absolute win.
- Circling Birdies: More like Circling Lizards. Chris sees circling lizards after hitting the ground:Chris: "Pretty lizards, land on my finger?"
- Distressed Dude: Martin gets captured by Donita (albeit unintentionally), forced to model for her, and do ridiculous poses for her, and as the salt on the wound, Martin is the first member of the Tortuga crew to be captured by a villain.
- Fake Defector: Martin attempts to pull this off and succeeds in having Donita release him. However, he only manages to call the Tortuga for backup before being recaptured.
- Fashion Show: Where the climax of the episode takes place.
- Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress
- Gendered Insult: Jimmy attempts to say the usual "Throws like a girl" insult to Aviva, but she briskly cuts him off.
- Go-Go Enslavement: A Gender-Inverted and family friendly example, when Martin first got kidnapped, he was in his normal clothing (except for his boots that he dropped from being sucked up), but he is later shown in a rather tacky outfit as part of him being a model for Donita. He later is shown with his Draco Lizard Creature Power Suit not long after being rescued.
- Impossibly Tacky Clothes: The outfit Martin is forced to model in
◊. Chris and the others tease him about it when he's rescued. - Indy Ploy: Due to Donita's runway being too far away to glide towards from his position, Chris decides to use approaching security Zachbots to cover the distance and take out the beam controlling Martin.
- One-Episode Fear: Chris temporarily gains a fear of heights after falling from a tree. A group of draco hatchlings help him overcome it by teaching him creature instinct.
- People Puppets: When he refuses to be an accessory to her villainous plot, Donita uses her Pose Beam to physically manipulate Martin into doing various (and ridiculous) Modeling Poses. In the next scene we see Martin in, he's in the outfit Donita picked for him, and it's
quite clear that Martin didn't dress himself. - The Paralyzer: By putting them in suspended animation, this is how Donita Donata creates her "living jewelry".
- Tempting Fate: When searching for Zippy, Chris begins boasting about how his climbing skills will allow him to keep up with the lizard. He very quickly finds himself having fallen face down in a mud wallow.
- Watch Out for That Tree!: Chris smacks into one when testing out his new draco lizard powers.
