This index is for tropes about the ''animal'' seals, not the ''concealed'' kind of seals. As such PersonalSeals, SupernaturalSealing, SealedEvilInACan, SealTheBreach, and HandSeals do not go here. TheWalrusWasPaul also does not go in this index, as it is a trope for things that [[MindScrew were intended to be nonsensical]] rather than literal walruses. Also, it has nothing to do with the singer Music/{{Seal}}.
