Zero Context Examples are flat out not allowed on the wiki; this question comes up now and then on Ask the Tropers and similar channels. A single sentence describing how the character fits the trope is usually enough, but there needs to be enough context for it to make sense to someone not familiar with the work. Also, avoid referring to other parts of the wiki when writing examples as it is considered bad form — it looks lazy, it\'s annoying for the reader, and, above all, the reference almost always becomes obsolete at some point. Wikis are, by nature, constantly in flux, and what may seem like a fixture one day might be gone the next.

!!General Monkey
The seventh General Kutaro encounters, General Monkey is the inventor of most of the technology used by Moon Bear King and the other generals. His intellect and cunning makes him one of the most difficult of the generals for Kutaro to defeat and indeed, he is the last one to go down.

[[spoiler:Before he became who he is today, General Monkey was one of the twelve Animal Children of the Moon Goddess]]

* SilentProtagonist

to:

* SilentProtagonist
CraniumChase: Taking damage makes Kutaro's current head pop off, causing him to frantically gesture while the player tries to steer him in the head's direction before it disappears.
* LosingYourHead: Kutaro has his head torn off by the Moon Bear King in the intro; soon after, he is found by Ying Yang and given a new one with no particular ill effect. Should Kutaro take damage during gameplay, the head will fall off and the player will have a few seconds to grab the head again before it disappears. If Kutaro doesn't have any more heads (up to three can be carried), he loses a life.
* SilentProtagonist: Kutaro, on account of having lost his head in the intro, does not speak for the duration of the game. He does, however, emote quite a bit.
* TheUnchosenOne: ZigZagged; while Ezma and Ying Yang let slip that Kutaro is only the latest of many, many children whom they've tried sending against the Moon Bear King by telling them they're the Chosen One, and that they at this point are quite surprised to see someone get far enough to even be sent off on the quest, Kutaro does find himself the wielder of Calibrus, a pair of magic scissors that are only supposed to be used by the Chosen One.




to:

* LethalChef: Ezma's cooking is absolutely horrible, and Ying Yang only eats it because there is nothing else. In one of the picture books, she is tasked with making a meal to make the Moon Bear King's minions "happy". To accomplish this, she makes a stew of a number of happy-sounding fruits and vegetables, as well as a secret ingredient. [[spoiler:The soldiers, wary of Ezma's reputation, refuse to eat the stew unless someone else tries it, so Ying Yang reluctantly tastes it for them. Unfortunately, while the stew is excellent, Ezma's secret ingredient is Snake's venom -- the single most poisonous substance in the solar system -- resulting in Ying Yang losing one of his nine lives.]]

!!General Horse
-->"I'll teach you to look a gift horse in the mouth!"
The 6th general Kutaro must confront. The wife of General Bull, they were once lovers, but due to the Moonstone Shards, they became locked in an endless racing tournament. She is incredibly self confident, and refuses to lose once she gets locked into any type of conflict. She and her husband barely notice Kutaro at first, though.

The second half of the pirate general duo. As greedy as Pig, but is less willing to let his wealth go to waste. Is more intelligent than Pig, making the rational thoughts for the duo. He and Pig may fight sometimes, but they still work together well as a team.

*HumongousMecha: Pilots half of one in his boss fight.

!!General Pig
-->"Yo ho HOINK! Another fine haul, me old salt!"
One part of the pirate general duo, General Pig is the second smallest general. As a pig, he is incredibly greedy, which is doubled due to his piracy. He isn't particularly bright, and is helped along by General Sheep. Though he and Sheep still fight over their booty, they still work well together.

!!General Snake
-->"This time I will CHEW FIRST!"
The third general Kutaro must battle. General Snake is the second largest general, next to General Dragon. He was locked under Castle Grizzlestein due to his venom being so incredibly toxic that it can destroy any organic object in a matter of seconds. He is bitter and resentful of his imprisonment, but is still loyal to the Moon Bear King.

[[spoiler:Before he became who he is today, General Snake was one of the 12 animal children that the Moon Goddess looked after.]]

!!General Rat
-->"With just one gulp of Plum Miraculixir, you can kiss the problems good-bye!"

The second general Kutaro must fight. Rat is the smallest of the generals, which fits his cowardly nature. A true dirty rat, Rat is every shady business man ever, using slick talk to trick the inhabitants of the Moonwood into poisoning them selves with his Plum Miraculixir. Despite his loyalty to the Moon Bear King, as soon as someone more powerful than himself comes along, he immediately gives up.

*ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: Literally gets this in Act 2, Curtain 3, where you have to ride him through General Snake's stomach, which is full of his Plum Miraculixir.

-->"I'll whittle you down to size, you little gnat!"

The first general Kutaro must face. General Tiger is a giant, well, tiger. He appears to be Moon bear King's right hand man, but is easily taken down by Kutaro in the first Act. He was apparently a complete coward before the rise of the Moon Bear King, and still is, beating the weak, but cowardly serving the powerful.
