* ThisIsMyBoomstick: Largely played straight at the true end of the conflict between the goat men and the monkey centaurs when Darius, under threat by the groups he's been trying to talk down, breaks a primitive spear by putting a bullet through it. Though it could be considered [[InvertedTrope inverted]] in so far as the native, Darius, is the one with the higher technology. Darius then [[DiscussedTrope explains the situation completely]] to make it clear to the two sides. As Darius points out, the [[JustifiedTrope trope is justified]] in so far as many individuals and groups are technologically behind (though they may have magic or other advantages).

''Zukahnaut'' is a Canadian action/adventure webcomic by Otty Justason and Sonya Somers that follows an alien recluse deciding to give an honest shot at living out in the open on Earth. After over 50 years of skulking out of sight in abandoned houses, Zukah is lonely and he's rude, out of shape and out of his mind... but he's working on it.

The world Zukah joins turns out to be more accepting of a huge green alien than he anticipates, thanks to a recent development known as Portals. These Portals are opening seemingly at random all over the world and spitting out people and things from what appear to be parallel universes! Zukah gets sucked into this mystery alongside the likes Darius Douglas, a scrubby and good-hearted Action Social Worker, and his sister Daphne, a veterinarian-turned-sawbones, as they face monkey centaurs, goat men, cyclops children and immortal vikings.
