* [[spoiler: TurtleIsland: The Snapture became one after ZF 5.]]

* TurtlePower: Hydrafficus, The Snapture

** Zoofights 3: [[spoiler:Two of them this time. The Crocodevil lost his first match, but his wings went on to attach themselves to a priest, creating a powerful demon. There's also Lilly Limbcake, a [[IllGirl sick]] orphan who was used as one of the main components of Jack the Ripper's lunatic construct.]]

* NiceHat: Steamcrab, Captain Croctopus.

* SpotOfTea: Steamcrab brings a cup of tea to his first match.

* RolePlayingGame: The voters have included several [[Series/DoctorWho Doctors]], [[FanNickname "Sad]] [[Film/TheRoad Aragorn"]], SteamPunk UsefulNotes/TheodoreRoosevelt, Comicbook/{{Lucifer}}, [[Film/EscapeFromNewYork Snake]] [[Film/EscapeFromLA Plissken]], [[Film/TheDarkCrystal Aughra]], (irradiated) Marie Curie, (mutated) [[Creator/NiccoloMachiavelli Machiavelli]], UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud, the Film/RobotMonster, the cockroach from ''WesternAnimation/WallE'', Alexander the Great, Kim Jong-Il (who was oddly silent during Great Leap Forward's round), [[Franchise/StarTrek Capt. Kirk]], [[Film/ThereWillBeBlood Daniel Plainview]], [[{{Series/Deadwood}} Al Swearingen]] (co-bartended with Gezora in Zoofights 4), [[Series/TheSopranos Paulie Walnuts]], [[Comicbook/{{Transmetropolitan}} Spider Jerusalem]], [[ComicBook/{{Preacher}} The Saint of Killers]] (who almost got into a fight with one of the more nihilistic Doctors), [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Robotnik]], [[Film/EventHorizon Dr. Weir]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Scruffy the Janitor]], Elohim's [[UsefulNotes/ThePope Pope]] (Benedict XVI -- no 'shopping necessary!), [[Film/TheAdventuresOfBuckarooBanzaiAcrossThe8thDimension Buckaroo Banzai]], [[TimeTravel Time]] [[SantaClaus Santa]] and his pal [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Doc Brown]], an African warlord, an [[Film/BladeRunner eye doctor]], countless videogame and comicbook characters, random (photos of) real people, quite a few original characters, and several [[http://www.keiththompsonart.com/pages/slaver.html Keith Thompson]] characters.

However, there's a rule that the role-playing shouldn't get too out of hand least it get in the way of the actual fighting, which apparently happened in one of the earlier rounds [[OldShame to everyone's detriment]].

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Gibbons with Clubs for Arms, Chimp My Ride, Riot Yeti, Sting Kong.

* ProductPlacement: If all goes well Zoofights IV will have Franchise/CareBears vs. MyLittlePony in round 2 and Coke vs. Pepsi in the Losers League. What can I say, it's TheEighties.

* FrickinLaserBeams: [[spoiler: Ro-Boto Cop.]]

* [[ThreateningShark Everything Is Worse With Sharks]]: Flying Tiger Sharks, Dakuvanga, and Bastard Shark
* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: Mechos, The Delegation, [[spoiler: Seanet]]. Slammonite is also a cephalopod, but is definitely not that squishy.
** [[spoiler: Elohim]] may also qualify.
** In Zoofights 5, Dreadnautilus. Granted, he's a nautilus and so not that squishy, but still.

** Actually started earlier with Smash Gordon vs. Sturgeon General. [[spoiler: a few people voted for Smash's more-intelligent bulldog Nelson, who escaped in a rocket (until Smash's next round). After Sega and Ro-Boto's [[MortalKombat "Friendship"]] more Third Option votes started showing up like "BOTH FIGHTERS DIE" and "Aircraft Carrier Full Of Hate" (eventually made into a Loser's League battleground) and the organizers had to put a stop to it.]]

** Zoofights 6: PW Botha of [[Film/{{District 9}} Johannesburg]] got an [[http://i54.tinypic.com/sdcp5h.jpg invitation.]] Bull Market has a sleazy [[WallStreet gecko]] sidekick.

* {{Badass}}: Oh The Huge Manatee, Steamcrab, Once Were Walrus, Ned Killy and Drillz [[RunningGag (he's the leader!)]] of the Mangolin' Pangolians.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Bonus mini-fighter Widow Maker, a praying mantis. [[spoiler: She not only won, but escaped the Snake Fights arena by guiding her missile/swordfish opponent ''into God Emperor Gamma Constrictor's face''.]]

* AlwaysMale: Each and every fighter is referred to as "he" (or sometimes "it"). The trope persists even when Zoofights 4 introduced Tunguska, an alien queen, and in Zoofights 5, which brought in Blood 4 Oil, a giant mosquito. Only female mosquitoes suck blood. Blood 4 Oil sucks blood. [[CriticalResearchFailure Still called a "he"]]. Update: It took until Round 2, but Major Failure did realize, yes, Blood 4 Oil[=/=][[Film/ThereWillBeBlood DRAAAAAAINAGE]][=/=][[PunnyName Brutish Petroleum]] ''is'' female.
** '''Aversions:'''
*** Bonus-fighter Widow Maker, a DangerouslyGenreSavvy (seriously, it's listed as her chief strength) female praying mantis.
*** Zoofights VI seems to have bucked this trend somewhat, with Murducken (actually a [[http://www.google.com/search?q=terror+bird&hl=en&prmd=ivns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=69_RTeDwKaPYiALS98DPCg&ved=0CDwQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=827 terror bird]] with the requisite Big Muscly Arms[--[[superscript:TM]]--] and a microwave for a heart), [[JapaneseRanguage Playing Mantis]], and Teslacorn all being female. [[spoiler: Bull Market became Ca$h Cow after a head transplant.]]

---> '''Gravitas Shortfall''' (on whether Lesko, [[SonicTheHedgehog Robotnik]], and the two [[Series/DoctorWho Doctors]] should continue their roleplay rivalry, and one of them got snippy): I'm sorry you think that MF taking time out from organising and drawing three fights in the week ''before he has to get married'' is a dick move. I know it must be ''terribly'' hard on you.

* MightyGlacier: The Snapture

* EldritchAbomination: Heart of Darkness, [[spoiler: From Hell]], and [[spoiler: Swanmass]]. The management promises this won't happen in Zoofights VI, but you never know.

** Zoofights 1: [[spoiler:[[EldritchAbomination Swanmass]] started out as some swans with muscly arms who lost their first battle [[CurbStompBattle completely and utterly]] and had to be reanimated as a BlobMonster of necrotic tissue.]]
