!! General

* AdaptationOriginConnection: In ''[=DinoSquad RXZ=]'', none of the main leads know each other at first and meet each other during the beginning of the story.
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: In ''[=DinoSquad RXZ=]'', the cast are redesigned a second time to reflect the best of both accurate designs and popular culture designs.
* RagTagBunchOfMisfits: Subverted; Roger, Buzz, Fiona, Terri, and Caruso already are close friends with each other, it's [[AdaptationalVillainy Max]] on the other hand that qualifies for this to the others. PlayedStraight in ''[=DinoSquad RXZ=]''.
* RaptorAttack: Averted for Moynihan; feathered and accurately depicted as an ''Acheroraptor''.
* ShownTheirWork: All of the forms of the main cast are from the Hell Creek formation and co-existed around the same time as one another. This also extends to Victor, who while a villain, also has a form based off of a Hell Creek species.
* StockDinosaurs: ''Triceratops'', ''Edmontosaurus'', ''Ankylosaurus'', ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', and ''Quetzalcoatlus'' definitely qualify. ''Anzu'' is more a subversion since it merely looks more like the better known ''Oviraptor''. ''Acheroraptor'' for Moynihan is also a subversion, considering it's a North American relative of ''Velociraptor'' from Hell Creek.
* TyrannosaurusRex: Max plays this straight although with a case of ShownTheirWork to it with Max's design having the feathered build more or less shown in modern depictions, although admittedly exaggerated with how much of the body is covered in feathering and in what fashion. As an example of this, his arms have feathering depicting them as very tiny wings akin to a raptor's arms. In ''[=DinoSquad RXZ=]'' his feathering is toned down immensely.

!! Roger
!!! Debut: ''[=DinoSquad RX=]''

* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** In the original ''[=DinoSquad RX=]'', he seems to be a little ''too'' fond of his good body image as he looks himself in the mirror in his debut. In ''[=DinoSquad RXZ=]'', he combines this {{Pride}} of his strong form with a sense of a troublemaker touch to it in addition to his intelligence.
* {{Expy}}: Of Jake from ''{{Literature/Animorphs}}'' in terms of general role.
* HeroicBuild: How best to describe his musculature.
* TheSmartGuy: Fills this role in both versions of the story.

!! Max
!!! Debut: ''[=DinoSquad RX=]''

* AdaptationalVillainy: Is the ArcVillain of the first major part of the story, although more so an antagonist rather than a villain. In ''[=DinoSquad RXZ=]'', he continues this trend, although takes it a step ''further''.
* EmoTeen: It's an AscendedMeme from his design from ''[=DinoSquad RX=]'' that he becomes this in ''[=DinoSquad RXZ=]''.
* {{Expy}}: Of Ax from ''{{Literature/Animorphs}}'' with some shades of Tobias.
* FromASingleCell: What makes him such a huge threat early on is directly because of this. His mate ends up having to be killed with napalm weaponry because she has the same ability, but Max's regeneration is stronger by virtue of having a significantly larger chunk of the RX Strain than his mate ever did.
* MightyRoar: The more pissed off he gets the more vocal about it he becomes.
* NobleSavage: Very unkempt in appearance as a human, with his ruined clothing and overgrown hair and all. Subverted in that he's still flawed considering his lifestyle causes him to eat far more than a normal human would need to, and the fact he can only truly eat meat and has a constant issue with dining on anything that isn't a fresh kill of sorts.
* TyrannosaurusRex: His dino mode.
* WasOnceAMan:
** ''[=DinoSquad RXZ=]'': Five years prior to the present, he was an ordinary human who was engaged and prepared for a steady life ahead; he became infected with the RX strain and it forever ruined his ability to survive in civilization to the point his basal instincts as a living being ended up taking over his ability to function, meaning even when he finally becomes human again at the end of the first arc, he doesn't actually ''behave'' like a human. Having been mode locked into a ''Tyrannosaurus'' form for so long, it completely damaged his ability to function as a human, including but not limited to; having to actively hunt prey animals for food and having a disinterest in cooked foods prepared in a normal fashion, barely speaking at all in human form and only really gives facial expressions to emote, and being very prone to territorial aggression when it comes to his personal space.
** ''[=DinoSquad RXZ=]'': [[spoiler:He got surgery as part of a cult which would give him animal traits on purpose, making him part human and part animal; Max donated a rare Tyrannosaurus arm bone to use in his treatment, which would make him part ''Tyrannosaurus''. Once a canister of Victor's mutagen mutates him in his introduction, he goes berserk and is fueled by UnstoppableRage, since his overdose of ''Tyrannosaurus'' DNA makes his mentality completely unstable unlike the others.]]

!! Mr. Piltdown
!!! Debut: ''[=DinoSquad RX=]''

An unusual hominid mutant who cannot be determined to be from any single known Great Ape species; he displays a hybrid amount of traits from extant species, such as humans, but also having brutish strength akin to a gorilla, or the massive arms akin to an orangutan. His legs, meanwhile, are essentially very robust human-like legs built heavily and somewhat modeled after a large sized gorilla's legs in regards to the feet. Mr. Piltdown, named after a hoax specimen of hominid, is a caretaker of the ruins of the ancient Sacred Beasts; it is speculated he himself may be a Sacred Beast as well, considering his vast age, as well as the fact he doesn't display the normal traits of a mutant of the RX Strain.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: He technically isn't brown, nor is he white; it's very difficult to determine his ethnicity since he's pale but not completely pale enough to determine his race, and the bestial traits in his appearance make it even harder to tell if he even belongs to any known ethnicity that is already known at all. Considering he introduces himself as a separate species, he seems to imply he doesn't belong to any ethnicity to a human because he's not from the same species and has an entirely different ethnicity to judge him by. If you want a close answer, though, he was born in South America, but that's just about it.
* TheBear: Subverted in that his sexuality isn't exactly known, but he has the definite look of it although albeit gorilla built rather than more like an actual bear.
* BeastMan: Looks like a normal human at first glance until you see him with his arms and body without much clothing to give away his burly, gorilla-like arms and legs.
* GentleGiant: Very friendly with people and has been known to actively have a presence in the public eye as an enigma of humankind, and as a representative of the Sacred Beasts.

!! "RX"
!!! ''[=DinoSquad RX=]''

* AllYourPowersCombined: Can utilize all of the RX Powers on a dime to assist itself.
* AntagonistTitle
* TheBrute: From what can be seen from its intelligence, it appears to be very much this.
* {{Expy}}: Of various BodyHorror monsters in fiction.
* FromASingleCell
* ShoutOut: Recall {{Expy}} above and see below:
** Underneath its shell is a gelatinous mass which serves as its stomach, much like ''Film/TheBlob''.
** Its final form is a huge one to [[Film/Godzilla2000 Orga]].
* TheWorfEffect: -Odin- typically gets the treatment very easily to anything remotely considered a large herbivore or an apex predator.
* TheWorfBarrage: An RX stomach tries to latch on to the passively sleeping [[spoiler:Palice, unaware that Palice is a living dragon made of pure ice, in which the RX stomach crystallizes and shatters upon impact.]]

!! Upsilon "RX-000-Y"
!!! Debut: ''[=DinoSquad RX=]''

An EldritchAbomination taking the guise of an unrealistic portrayal of ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' in terms of looks, size, and abilities meant to lure many unwitting pawns into seeing it and fueling its power to manipulate the land by those who believe in its existence, the more powerful it becomes. A tenacious, vicious serial killer who hunts for sport and kills just about everything that moves on sight, Upsilon cannot be reasoned with as its mentality has too strong of a sense of pride in what it is to the point it just relishes in how monstrous of an entity it is both in terms of the fear it can spread, and the power it has. Having a massive pride in itself, it will do whatever it takes to make those suffer for whomever wound its pride in any way.

[[folder:'''Spoiler Characters''']]

!! RXZ

* AlternateUniverse: Heralds from a version of Earth in which the RX symbiont successfully took over.
* AntagonistTitle: Continues the tradition from the original ''[=DinoSquad RX=]'', in which it's a heavily advanced RX specimen known as RXZ.
* BewareMyStingerTail: Has a javelin for a tail blade.
* BookEnds: [[spoiler:A Xenomorph or XenomorphXerox creature is once again responsible for bringing about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, which proceeds to follow up with the ''actual'' story afterwards, considering ''Crazy Carousal'' had the original Xenomorphs as the killers of a majority of the Madoka Verse, and the RXZ specimen is the killer of the original ''[=DinoSquad RX=]'' continuity, which takes place towards the very endgame of the larger continuity in play as a whole.]]
* {{Expy}}: A XenomorphXerox version of the [[Series/{{Primeval}} Future Predator]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In a CallBack sense. [[spoiler:In ''Crazy Carousal'', a Xenomorph is involved in the plot as what takes over one of the canon characters before killing them as a ChestBurster. Xenomorph was classified by the UDs to be extinct in the wild in the aftermath, and Xenomorph DNA was recovered by Dr. Devoniak who was experimenting on it with RX symbiont DNA to test the reaction. While it doesn't foreshadow the RXZ itself, it ''does'' foreshadow its Xenomorph lineage prior.]]
* LampreyMouth: From which it can ''rapidly'' suck the life-force out of its prey and devour them alive in seconds flat.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Has four arms to crawl around and grasp things with.
* ShapeShifter: [[spoiler:Has a human form it can take on to disguise itself with.]]
* SuperMode: Of the RX symbiont.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:The original specimen prior to entering the current ''[=DinoSquad RXZ=]'' universe is destroyed by Chronicler deciding to flat out glass the whole planet with his runic laser to prevent further contamination.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: An extremely advanced RX specimen that grew in size and power to the point its effectively capable of putting up a fight against the much larger ''TyrannosaurusRex'' and Edmontosaurus.
* UltimateLifeform: Phase 4 RX Symbiont. As the ''Reflection Code'' cast would put it, it's also an Ultimate Form.
* WhamEpisode: The unknown Chapter of ''[=DinoSquad RX=]'', known as "ERROR-6657" [[spoiler:is its first appearance in which it kills off the original universe from which ''[=DinoSquad RX=]'' originally took place, and makes its escape into the current universe of ''[=DinoSquad RXZ=]''. The namesake 6657 is the year in which the Earth gets destroyed by complete infection from the RX symbiont, and the RXZ is sent to another universe to colonize and attempt to create new territory for the species.]]
* XenomorphXerox: It's a heavily advanced RX specimen which has vague traits of an insect with Xenomorph-esque design features.

! The Trinity of Destruction

* AlwaysABiggerFish: They are immune to RX infection and prey on them very easily.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever
* {{Kaiju}} All three, but especially Lizzie. [[spoiler:At least until George and Ralph grow bigger to match.]]
* OlympusMons: The only three survivors and known benefactors of a drug meant to wipe out the RX Strain like a disease, all but outright stated to be formerly infected with the virus themselves.
* TomTheDarkLord: As in their source material, and even in the 2018 movie, all three have rather ordinary names despite one being a [[KillerGorilla brutish gorilla]] (George), a [[SavageWolves 30-foot wolf]] (Ralph), and an [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent outright pissed Komodo dragon]] (Lizzie).
* WalkingSpoiler: The whole trio doesn't appear in their own separate verse primarily because they're too small for the ''Godzilla'' fic, but their original series has too minimal a story to use for its own fic by itself, so they instead appear in ''[=DinoSquad RX=]'' as a SharedUniverse.

!! George

* CainAndAbel: An unusual example where the two individuals are not relatives in the slightest; he's the Abel to the recurring Orangutan mutant's Cain. [[spoiler:In an ironic twist his own introduction is what kills off the Orangutan mutant because his ShockAndAwe completely vaporizes him on the spot.]]
* EvilAlbino: A rare Albino Gorilla turned {{Kaiju}} running across Maine in a rage.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Born and found during a severe storm.
* KillerGorilla
* MythologyGag: Both to the upcoming movie for ''Rampage'' (which is more of a ShoutOut) and to ''[=DinoSquad=]'' having an episode with a mutant gorilla.
* [[spoiler:ShockAndAwe]]
* SuperStrength: More like increased resilience; he becomes immune to the usual issues albinism has once he begins to develop into his George namesake mutation.

!! Ralph

* [[spoiler:AnIcePerson: Why he keeps the blue color.]]
* CanisMajor: A 30 foot wolf.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Is an Arctic Wolf.
* MythologyGag: How he's relatively casually introduced as a "30 foot wolf" refers to a line just before his reveal in the new movie.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Killed his whole foster pack once he grew larger first because of the RX Strain.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Was a a pet wolf named Ralph until he was mutated, which makes him take over George's role from the film version.
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Doesn't get the remote satisfaction one would normally get otherwise [[spoiler:when he mauls an [=RX -Odin-'s=] face in]] when we first see him.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Keeps the blue coloration associated with him from the original games.

!! Lizzie

* BreathWeapon: Exhaling chemicals that essentially recreate the Bombardier beetle's heated sprays into a napalm fire.
* DinosaursAreDragons: Averted; Komodo Dragon base.
* {{Expy}}: Of Otachi from ''Pacific Rim'' in terms of general role.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The fact there's already an animal flat out confirmed to have a BreathWeapon. [[spoiler:Oddly enough she's an even bigger example of this, since she's a RedHerring for Xilatealeon's debut and is even mistaken for a female of that species.]]
* HairTriggerTemper: She gets '''''angry''''' very fast compared to her male counterparts. [[spoiler:Probably can blame the MamaBear aspect of her hidden pregnant status for this anger issue.]]
* HollywoodEvolution: Defied; [[spoiler:because of her mutation, she can already naturally develop features as an individual at an accelerated rate like any other mutant does; the only difference is that Lizzie ''[[ItCanThink knows]]'' what features to adapt and which to avoid.]]
* ItCanThink: [[spoiler:Her sheer intelligence is why she's mistaken for a female Xilatealeon.]]
* PlayingWithFire: This was more obvious with her so it's not spoilers [[spoiler:as it is with the other two's elements.]]
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Already absurdly big for her size before she's even mutated. [[spoiler:Although with the below comparison to ''Ankylosaurus'', she's more than a match for even Caruso's 100% RX Strain because of the fact the RX is completely irrelevant with what mutation she and her two cohorts have instead.]]
* MythologyGag: Virtually everything about her is referencing at least ''something'' done with this character beforehand or newer.
* NotZilla: Sort of. She's covered in overgrown scales giving her an intimidating look, but it's clear she's basically akin to a giant {{Slurpasaur}} covered in armor akin to something like a Dragon or ''Ankylosaurus''.
* [[spoiler:PregnantBadass:]] [[spoiler:Despite never have mated with a male, she's pregnant with a few eggs.]]
* ShownTheirWork: [[spoiler:The fact Lizzie can reproduce without the need for a male already occurs in her base species, Komodo Dragon, in real life as it currently stands.]]
* StoryBreakerPower: Her chemical breath is not only toxic by itself, but is the closest any normal mutation gets to anything remotely resembling fire breath. Most of the other mutations that so much as ''attempt'' to adapt this feature have killed themselves by a premature attempt to adapt it and make use of it too quickly. Lizzie apparently ''knew'' about the AwesomeButImpractical nature of this mutation, and is implied to have deliberately toyed with it to her liking to allow her to achieve a {{Justified}} BreathWeapon. [[spoiler:Considering the reasons people accuse her of being a female Xilatealeon, considering just how intelligent the Xilatealeon species is, this sheer intelligence from Lizzie showcases that she has her intelligence to blame the most for why she's mistaken for a female Xilatealeon.]]
* WhamShot: [[spoiler:Her flat out choosing to flee when an ''actual'' Xilatealeon shows up, which ultimately throws every idea of her being of the same species into the sun... which is ultimately where Xilatealeon throws her towards with its immense strength]]
* YourTomcatIsPregnant: It's obvious she's a female considering the obvious base being female and all, but [[spoiler:the fact she actually is a PregnantBadass is the even bigger spoiler.]]

!! Victor R. Dakota

A villain from the source material akin to a GenericDoomsdayVillain with no true explanation for his desire to return the world back to the age of dinosaurs. Here his motives are better explained; a normal human man feeling like he is on a MissionFromGod with the gift of a ''Dakotaraptor'' form, he feels that with his newfound abilities he has learned to adapt to, he feels that this new form is something that should be shared with all of humankind for the benefit of everyone and the planet. Having lived in the wilds and in technologically advanced areas due to his two sides, he feels that humanity can benefit from having a bestial form in which to return to the roots of the wilderness with, as a means of stopping world hunger, developing more efficient cures for diseases, as well as being able to live longer than normal. At the same time, the human brains maintained in the transformation could allow for humankind, as both man and animal, to shape the world into a better version of itself and fixing the flaws humanity has by filling them in with the benefits of animals such as dinosaurs to create what he deems the perfect, ideal dominant species. Anybody who shows disagreement towards his views are whom he considers the type of people who are foolish and should be rendered extinct because of their disagreement in failing to see the potential in his plan. A WellIntentionedExtremist at heart, Victor desires to shape the world into a better one in ways many would deem absurd or unethical until he believes they see the "error" of their ways and look at things from his viewpoint, willing or not.

* AdaptationNameChange: His last name is changed to Dakota compared to his canon self's last name of Veloci. Has a bit of a double meaning to it considering not only does Dakota blend in with a normal human much, much easier and lacks the super villain name of his canon counterpart, but it's also short for ''Dakotaraptor'', which is the form of dinosaur he takes here.

An EldritchAbomination taking the guise of an unrealistic portrayal of ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' in terms of looks, size, and abilities meant to lure many unwitting pawns into seeing it and fueling its power to manipulate the land by those who believe in its existence, the more powerful it becomes. A tenacious, vicious serial killer who hunts for sport and kills just about everything that moves on sight, Upsilon cannot be reasoned with as its mentality has too strong of a sense of pride in what it is to the point it just relishes in how monstrous of an entity it is both in terms of the fear it can spread, and the power it has. Having a massive pride in itself, it will do whatever it takes to make those suffer for whomever wound its pride in any way.

A villain from the source material akin to a {{Generic Doomsday Villain}} with no true explanation for his desire to return the world back to the age of dinosaurs. Here his motives are better explained; a normal human man feeling like he is on a {{Mission From God}} with the gift of a ''Dakotaraptor'' form, he feels that with his newfound abilities he has learned to adapt to, he feels that this new form is something that should be shared with all of humankind for the benefit of everyone and the planet. Having lived in the wilds and in technologically advanced areas due to his two sides, he feels that humanity can benefit from having a bestial form in which to return to the roots of the wilderness with, as a means of stopping world hunger, developing more efficient cures for diseases, as well as being able to live longer than normal. At the same time, the human brains maintained in the transformation could allow for humankind, as both man and animal, to shape the world into a better version of itself and fixing the flaws humanity has by filling them in with the benefits of animals such as dinosaurs to create what he deems the perfect, ideal dominant species. Anybody who shows disagreement towards his views are whom he considers the type of people who are foolish and should be rendered extinct because of their disagreement in failing to see the potential in his plan. A {{Well Intentioned Extremist}} at heart, Victor desires to shape the world into a better one in ways many would deem absurd or unethical until he believes they see the "error" of their ways and look at things from his viewpoint, willing or not.

* {{Adaptation Name Change}}: His last name is changed to Dakota compared to his canon self's last name of Veloci. Has a bit of a double meaning to it considering not only does Dakota blend in with a normal human much, much easier and lacks the super villain name of his canon counterpart, but it's also short for ''Dakotaraptor'', which is the form of dinosaur he takes here.

* {{Ambiguously Brown}}: He technically isn't brown, nor is he white; it's very difficult to determine his ethnicity since he's pale but not completely pale enough to determine his race, and the bestial traits in his appearance make it even harder to tell if he even belongs to any known ethnicity that is already known at all. Considering he introduces himself as a separate species, he seems to imply he doesn't belong to any ethnicity to a human because he's not from the same species and has an entirely different ethnicity to judge him by. If you want a close answer, though, he was born in South America, but that's just about it.
* {{The Bear}}: Subverted in that his sexuality isn't exactly known, but he has the definite look of it although albeit gorilla built rather than more like an actual bear.
* {{Beast Man}}: Looks like a normal human at first glance until you see him with his arms and body without much clothing to give away his burly, gorilla-like arms and legs.
* {{Gentle Giant}}: Very friendly with people and has been known to actively have a presence in the public eye as an enigma of humankind, and as a representative of the Sacred Beasts.

* {{Always A Bigger Fish}}: They are immune to RX infection and prey on them very easily.
* {{Attack Of The Fifty Foot Whatever}}

* {{Olympus Mons}}: The only three survivors and known benefactors of a drug meant to wipe out the RX Strain like a disease, all but outright stated to be formerly infected with the virus themselves.
* {{Walking Spoiler}}: The whole trio doesn't appear in their own separate verse primarily because they're too small for the ''Godzilla'' fic, but their original series has too minimal a story to use for its own fic by itself, so they instead appear in ''[=DinoSquad RX=]'' as a {{Shared Universe}}.

* {{Cain and Abel}}: An unusual example where the two individuals are not relatives in the slightest; he's the Abel to the recurring Orangutan mutant's Cain. [[spoiler:In an ironic twist his own introduction is what kills off the Orangutan mutant because his {{Shock And Awe}} completely vaporizes him on the spot.]]
* {{Evil Albino}}: A rare Albino Gorilla turned {{Kaiju}} running across Maine in a rage.

* {{Killer Gorilla}}
* {{Mythology Gag}}: Both to the upcoming movie for ''Rampage'' (which is more of a {{Shout Out}}) and to ''[=DinoSquad=]'' having an episode with a mutant gorilla.
* [[spoiler:{{Shock And Awe}}]]
* {{Super Strength}}: More like increased resilience; he becomes immune to the usual issues albinism has once he begins to develop into his George namesake mutation.

* [[spoiler:{{An Ice Person}}: Why he keeps the blue color.]]
* {{Canis Major}}: A 30 foot wolf.

* {{Mythology Gag}}: How he's relatively casually introduced as a "30 foot wolf" refers to a line just before his reveal in the new movie.
* {{Self Made Orphan}}: Killed his whole foster pack once he grew larger first because of the RX Strain.
* {{Used To Be A Sweet Kid}}: Was a a pet wolf named Ralph until he was mutated, which makes him take over George's role from the film version.
* {{Vengeance Feels Empty}}: Doesn't get the remote satisfaction one would normally get otherwise [[spoiler:when he mauls an [=RX -Odin-'s=] face in]] when we first see him.
* {{You Gotta Have Blue Hair}}: Keeps the blue coloration associated with him from the original games.

* {{Breath Weapon}}: Exhaling chemicals that essentially recreate the Bombardier beetle's heated sprays into a napalm fire.
* {{Dinosaurs Are Dragons}}: Averted; Komodo Dragon base.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The fact there's already an animal flat out confirmed to have a {{Breath Weapon}}. [[spoiler:Oddly enough she's an even bigger example of this, since she's a {{Red Herring}} for Xilatealeon's debut and is even mistaken for a female of that species.]]
* {{Playing With Fire}}: This was more obvious with her so it's not spoilers [[spoiler:as it is with the other two's elements.]]
* {{More Deadly Than The Male}}: Already absurdly big for her size before she's even mutated. [[spoiler:Although with the below comparison to ''Ankylosaurus'', she's more than a match for even Caruso's 100% RX Strain because of the fact the RX is completely irrelevant with what mutation she and her two cohorts have instead.]]
* {{Mythology Gag}}: Virtually everything about her is referencing at least ''something'' done with this character beforehand or newer.
* {{Not Zilla}}: Sort of. She's covered in overgrown scales giving her an intimidating look, but it's clear she's basically akin to a giant {{Slurpasaur}} covered in armor akin to something like a Dragon or ''Ankylosaurus''.
* [[spoiler:{{Pregnant Badass}}:]] [[spoiler:Despite never have mated with a male, she's pregnant with a few eggs.]]
* {{Shown Their Work}}: [[spoiler:The fact Lizzie can reproduce without the need for a male already occurs in her base species, Komodo Dragon, in real life as it currently stands.]]
* {{Wham Shot}}: [[spoiler:Her flat out choosing to flee when an ''actual'' Xilatealeon shows up, which ultimately throws every idea of her being of the same species into the sun... which is ultimately where Xilatealeon throws her towards with its immense strength]]
* {{Your Tomcat Is Pregnant}}: It's obvious she's a female considering the obvious base being female and all, but [[spoiler:the fact she actually is a {{Pregnant Badass}} is the even bigger spoiler.]]
