* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears [[https://dregscomic.tumblr.com/post/141566880710/pg29-oh-hes-a-frog-prince-i-get-it here]] as a one of the nameless bit characters seen during a montage of Bandy making an announcement to the sewer before she appears again much later with a name and an actual role in the plot.

Whoops.

Added DiffLines:

* TheUnintelligible: She understands English, but cannot speak it. Instead she communicates almost exclusively in variations on the sounds "heh" and "bup".

Because of this TRS thread, Mute But Not Silent is being cut for being redundant with other tropes.

* Acrofatic: Pretty heavily overweight but can really haul ass when he needs to.

* Acrofatic: {{Acrofatic}}: Pretty heavily overweight but can really haul ass when he needs to.



* BunnyEarsLawyer: Literally wears a pair of rabbit ears over his gasmask.

to:

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Literally wears a pair of rabbit ears over his gasmask. Subverted, however, in that he doesn't seem to be very competent at his job either.




to:

* ExpressiveEars: His bunny ears shift position to reflect his mood, somehow.
* SecurityBlanket: He gets very upset if he doesn't have his bunny ears with him.

[[folder: Bandy]]
The boss of Chub and Coney, and at least most of the rest of the sewer workers.

* AnArmAndALeg: Lost her right arm in a workplace accident.
* CannedOrdersOverLoudspeaker: How she communicates with her employees. It's shown that this makes it hard for them to make out her words, because on top of the imperfection of the tannoy system she's also speaking through a gas mask.
* CreepySouvenir: She keeps her own severed arm in her office. [[TaxidermyIsCreepy Mounted]]. On the wall. [[CrossesTheLineTwice With the caption "Safety First!"]]
* KickedUpstairs: Used to be a sewer worker like Chub, but these days she spends almost all her time in an upstairs office - presumably because of her disability.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Mags]]
The sewer's ratcatcher.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: She's clearly unhinged, but she's also apparently pretty good at pest control.
* CloudCuckooLander: Her idea for how to subdue a human trespasser is [[SchmuckBait an enormous, conspicuous cage baited with a jar of peanut butter]]. Then again, it turns out TheCuckooLanderWasRight on this occasion.
* CrazySurvivalist: While not technically a survivalist (that we know of), she definitely has this vibe, between the extensive gun collection and the unhinged vigilance.
* GunNut: She has far more firearms than ought to be necessary for rat hunting.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: "Do you want a nonviolent solution, or do you want one that ''works''?"

! Trespassers in the Sewer
[[folder: The nudist]]
A borderline-feral woman causing problems for the sewer workers.

* TheGadfly: She annoys the workers on purpose because she has nothing better to do.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl[=/=]ShamelessFanserviceGirl: She doesn't own any clothes, but this doesn't bother her.
* ItAmusedMe: Her primary motivation for her antics.
* MuteButNotSilent: Can't speak English (despite understanding it), so speaks in nonsense syllables.
* TrademarkFavouriteFood: "Doge Chow". Chub even points out that they have ''non''-dog food she could steal instead, but she brushes him off.
* WildChild: Formerly. She's been living alone in the sewers since she was little.

[[folder: Baron Von Willlendorfer III]]
An aristocrat with an evil plan.

* AristocratsAreEvil: He's a baron, and not a very nice man.
* BigBad: So far, it seems.
* DelusionsOfEloquence: Likes to use polysyllabic words, even if (like "misunderestimate") they aren't even real words.
* EvilGloating: Even when there's no-one around to hear him.
* EvilIsPetty: His peers disrespected him, apparently, so in revenge he's going to make their plumbing overflow.
* EvilPlan: He wants to cause a small explosion in the sewers in order to flood the bathrooms above, in revenge for his peers snubbing him. Unfortunately, he's also very stupid, and so decides to use ''[[NoKillLikeOverkill the entire blastol store]]'' for his bomb.
* MadBomber: Clearly not all there, and his plan involves explosives.

! The Dregs
[[folder:Tropes related to the Dregs in general]]
*AlmightyJanitor: Very much not, the Dregs are all-around pretty clueless.
*CloudCuckooLander: By Chub's own admission they're all a bit nuts.
*GasmaskMooks
*RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Hoo boy...

[[folder:Chub]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_o2u4g4elbq1v8x31bo1_r1_1280.gif]]
Chub is a blue-collar sewer worker and the protagonist of the story.

*Acrofatic: Pretty heavily overweight but can really haul ass when he needs to.
*OnlySaneEmployee: Can come across as this when compared to his more...quirky co-workers.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Coney]]
Friend of Chub and fellow sewer worker.

*BunnyEarsLawyer: Literally wears a pair of rabbit ears over his gasmask.
*CloudCuckooLander: He doesn't seem entirely with it and tends to go on strange tangents.
