com/watch?v=pyvC-jz3uRA The Pygmy Theme Song]], created by Music/ParryGripp.Music/ParryGripp, is a harder rock song that is incredibly catchy much like plenty of Gripp's other songs, and it details the typical lifestyle and mindset of the Pygmies.



* GrowingTheBeard: In the app's early days, the earlier episodes had barely any content and there was barely anything to do. But once Bolt Creative started to add more and more updates...

updates, leading to a much larger selection of content and more things to do with the Pygmies.
* {{Squick}}: Mostly due to VomitIndiscretionShot.Some of the things in the game can be disgusting, including [[VomitIndiscretionShot Pygmies vomiting]] when they've been infected with the plague.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: Some of the updates were definitely products of their time, such as the inclusion of "Charlie", a Pygmy who spouts nothing but then-recent Creator/CharlieSheen references.

* UnfortunateImplications: In real life, "Pygmy" is used to refer to real groups of people ([[http://www.websters-dictionary-online.org/definitions/Baka+pygmy?cx=partner-pub-0939450753529744%3Av0qd01-tdlq&cof=FORID%3A9&ie=UTF-8&q=Baka+pygmy&sa=Search#906 like the Baka of central Africa, who consider the term a slur]]) and the "Pygmies" in the game are stereotyped, not-too-bright little brown people that you get to mess with and/or kill for your amusement...
** This actually caused some controversy, with Pacific Islanders and Anthropologists protested to Apple [[EverythingIsRacist claiming the game was racist]]. Bolt Creative defended the game, stating that "it depicts no specific race or nationality." The game's programmer, Dave Castelnuovo got in touch which one of the Pacific Islanders and made a few compromises: the Pygmies would now be called [[{{Bowdlerize}} "Oogs"]] and the [[EenieMeenieMinyMoai Moai statue]] would be replaced with a fictional octopus god statue. Later, the Oogs were renamed back to "Pygmies" again, as Dave found it didn't cause any friction between Pacific Islanders.

Moving them to the Nightmare Fuel page


* NightmareFuel:
** You can can play "tug-o-war" with the ice squid using a Pygmy. If you pull too hard, [[OffWithHisHead its head comes off!]]
** The possessed Pygmies on the winch and bongos sure look creepy.
** Winch a Pygmy too hard in the altar and his limbs are ripped off!
** If you drop a monkey on a Pygmy, [[TearOffYourFace its face gets ripped off!]]
** The [[ElectricJellyfish jellyfish]] in the Coral Reef. Oh dear, the jellyfish...
** The Apocalypse Rooms all have their share of NightmareFuel, like the Plague Room with its [[DarkIsEvil dark]], [[SicklyGreenGlow sickly]] atmosphere and ability to infect Pygmies with a deadly disease, or the Locust Room which contains a giant man-eating locust in the middle and some pretty brutal deaths, like being force-feed locusts and exploding into a green goo. But the most nightmarish is definitely the Purification Chamber, despite its [[LightIsNotGood bright, pristine]] appearance. It seemingly causes Pygmies to go insane from [[TerrifiedOfGerms overbearing germophobia]] and eventually causes them to [[FadingAway fade from existence]]. The music is also creepy as well, containing an ominous piano and sounding like something out of a horror movie.

* GameBreaker: In the Battle of the Gods minigame, Annal. He doesn't offer much damage even at level 20, but he makes up for it by activating the powers of every other idol in the player's current set upon winning a realm match up. Get the right combination of powers and you can become nigh unbeatable.
