Grumpy Bear is no longer a trope


* GrumpyBear: His personality in a nutshell. David once called him out for it.



* {{Tsundere}}: A male, spicy/harsh type; he's usually [[GrumpyBear grumpy]], [[StrawNihilist cynical]], and rude. But he does have a nice side deep down. When he shows it though, he usually quickly backtracks into his usual persona. [[spoiler: David is always touched. Max, not so much]].

* CosmicHorrorStory: As the series went on, it came more and more obvious that the Quartermaster could very well also be a character from the Franchise/CthulhuMythos.



* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He has two moments in "Mascot". At the beginning of the episode, he's shown lugging around what appears to be a dead body while Neil and Nikki point out how scary he is. Later, he takes Max to a hidden glade with the squirrel king; after Max is taken with the site's beauty, the Quaryermaster inadvertently kills the squirrel king while trying to declare it the new mascot, then takes his crown and starts beating up woodland creatures while declaring "I AM THE KING NOW! THE THRONE IS MINE!" All of this serves to establish him as being an utterly batshit psycho who everyone is afraid of.

Knife Nut is no longer a trope.


* KnifeNut: [[spoiler:When he and David went to save Jasper from two bears, David instructed him to grab Jasper and run when he gave the signal. Instead, he used a knife to kill the bears at the signal.]]



* GenerationXerox: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]]. His mother is in jail, and if her sending him a knife as a gift is any indication, she's as much of a KnifeNut as her son. In another episode he's paired off with Preston to raise an egg, only to become abusive towards Preston and overprotective of the egg, telling "Nurf Jr." that he won't be raised in a broken home like Nurf was. He also bears a strong resemblance to her once she's seen on-screen.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The "Jerk" part is more prominent given that he's rude, selfish, devious, etc. However, he can be a decent friend sometimes and he have his likable moments. For example [[spoiler: in the season one finale, he single-handedly saves David's Sparrow ceremony and even gets the rest of the apathetic campers to pitch in. Although he claims he only did it so that David wouldn't kill himself or shoot up the camp]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[DownplayedTrope More accurately pyrite]]. She's an AlphaBitch like the rest of the Flower Scouts, but she is the most moral of her trio. She's touched when she finds out Neil has a crush on her because she respects her intelligence, but doesn't really feel all that guilty when she apologizes for only trying to use him to get with Snake, which disgusts Neil. However, the experience helps her become better friends with Tabii, who similarly tried using Snake to get to Neil. She also doesn't always agree with Sasha's methods, including Sasha's insulting Tabii for her EyeScream.
