%%* CloudCuckooLander: Charlie

* EldritchAbomination: The giant demon in the background of the Lava Tube.

%%* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Well, for the Pygmies...

* GiantSpider: The [[AllAnimalsAreDogs Barking]] Spider. [[RuleOfThree Also a boss battle.]]

* OffWithHisHead: If you try to pull a Pygmy too hard when its in the ice squid's grip.

** "Ep 31: What's the Story, Morning Gory", which is reference to the song "What's the story, morning glory" by Music/{{Oasis}}.

*** Ordinary Pygmies can do the [[Film/NapoleonDynamite Napoleon Dynamite]] dance.

** The retro gamer skin pack, which contains references to [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]], Franchise/DonkeyKong, Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda, Franchise/{{Pokemon}}, VideoGame/{{Sonic|TheHedgehog}}, VideoGame/PacMan, VideoGame/SpaceInvaders, VideoGame/{{Tetris}}, VideoGame/{{Centipede}}, VideoGame/{{Galaga}}, VideoGame/DigDug, and VideoGame/{{Qbert}}.

** [[Franchise/DonkeyKong Ep 36: Konkey Dong]].

** And now there's Creator/{{Tom|Cruise}}, who's basically another Charlie, only this time he's [[spoiler: a catalyst of the Apocalypse.]]

* SoundtrackDissonance: The music for the Coral Reef is a choir, yet the area features a lot of the more disturbing sacrifices.

%%* TearOffYourFace: One of the more nightmarish sacrifices.

** The Tyrannosaurus Rex didn't exist in the time of Pangaea.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* DeathIsCheap: There are only six Pygmies, and you can bring them back once they've died.

* EenieMeenieMinyMoai: There used to be a Moai statue on Sand Island, but it was replaced with a statue of a fictional octopus god.

** ... or you can kill them in a load of different ways: Drowning, flicking, [[ShockAndAwe striking with lightning]], volcanic eruption, feeding to [[ThreateningShark sharks]], feeding to [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs tyrannosaurus rex]], feeding the [[GiantSpider barking spider]], [[RunningGag feeding to squid]], incinerating with magnifying glass, cooking over fire, impaling on [[SpikesOfDoom spikes]], choking on food, thrown off a cliff... [[LongList the list goes on!]]

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: There is a Tyrannosaurus Rex. A boss battle.

* AllAnimalsAreDogs: The [[PunnyName Barking Spider]] barks and whines like a dog.

* AllJustADream: Anything that takes place on the Island of Misfit Crossovers.
** OrWasItADream: If Pygmies get killed here, it still acts like they got killed like in the real world.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: The Barking Spider, Beetles and the Locust Queen.
* BiggerOnTheInside: [[WombLevel Inside the snake]]. Justified in that this is in a [[DreamLand dream world]].

* ButtMonkey: The Pygmies.

* ChewToy: Again, the Pygmies.
* {{Crossover}}: With The Creeps!, Harbour Master, Trenches and The Moron Test.

* CruelPlayerCharacterGod: Guess what this game thrives on...
** To elaborate: There are twelve gifts and ninety-nine sacrifices. The game encourages you.

* DeathMountain: Ape Mountain. [[SincerityMode Fitting]], considering the location's features are all about sacrificing Pygmies. It is also the first area to not feature any water.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: To reiterate, when this app was first released, all you could do was pick the Pygmies up and throw them around, and that's it. [[GrowingTheBeard Thank goodness for the updates...]]

* ElectricJellyfish: Found in the Coral Reef. They are a major source of NightmareFuel.

* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Well, for the Pygmies...

%%* GottaCatchEmAll: The God Idols.
* AnIcePerson: The Ice Monster. A boss battle.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: If you tap the statue in the Underwater Area, it will shoot out a spear at high-speed. Naturally, the game allows you to make "Pygmy Kebobs". There's even a microgame where you try to see how many Pygmies you can spear at once.

** [[AnIcePerson The Ice Monster]], [[SubvertedTrope on the otherhand]], can accidentally eat Pygmies if they are flicked at it when it's mouth is open, and this actually does damage instead (according to Bolt Creative, this is because of indigestion).

* MonochromaticEyes: Zombie Pygmies have them.

** When killed on Graveyard Island, they become ghosts & can't spawn until you somehow get rid of their souls(such as having them drag a living pygmy away). When killed by [[TheVirus plauge]], they can't spawn until their infected bodies are burned in a fire.

* NoSell: Charlie is immune to a couple of the things that can kill regular pygmies.
** The Barking Spider is apparantly unaffected by the plauge, since it won't throw up & die after eating an infected pygmy.

* OxygenMeter: Appears after a Pygmy retrieves the first treasure in "Call of Booty."

* SchizoTech: Despite being set in the time of Pangaea, the outhouse on Rock Island has a flushing toilet, the underwater area has a shark with a laser gun strapped to it's head and a sunken pirate ship in the background, there is a jetpack in the "Ooga Jump" minigame, the Pygmies get electric guitars in "The Pocket God Update Song", and the Dance Chamber in the Apocalypse Temple ''has a disco''.
* ShockAndAwe: One of your god powers is lightning, which can be used for striking Pygmies (and dodo birds and monkeys), [[MundaneUtility or starting a bonfire]].
** And then there's the [[ElectricJellyfish jellyfish]]...

** [[Creator/CharlieSheen Charlie,]] [[SixthRanger a 7th Pygmy]] [[Creator/CharlieSheen who talks about winning, and shouts Charlie Sheen quotes. He also can turn into a tiger (because he has tiger blood and Adonis DNA) and a High Priest Vatican Assassin Warlock.]] The episode was called [[Series/TwoAndAHalfMen "Two and a Half Pygmies"]] to drive the point home.
** And now there's [[Creator/TomCruise Tom]], who's basically another Charlie, only this time he's [[spoiler: a catalyst of the Apocalypse.]]

* SpikesOfDoom: In the Pain Drain.
* StrippedToTheBone: You can make fire ants and locusts swarm Pygmies, which reduces them to skeletons.

* TakeThat: A comment on the Pocket God Update song:
-->'''Allan Dye:''' And yes, the pygmies do what any good boy band would do...lip-sync!

* TentacledTerror: The ice squid can eat Pygmies. [[NightmareFuel Or pull their head off!]]

* ThreateningShark: The shark. You can feed Pygmies to it, drop it on their head, knock them into the water with it, or let them (attempt) to catch it...

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: ... or you can kill them in a load of different ways: Drowning, flicking, [[ShockAndAwe striking with lightning]], volcanic eruption, feeding to [[EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks sharks]], feeding to [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs tyrannosaurus rex]], feeding the [[GiantSpider barking spider]], [[RunningGag feeding to squid]], incinerating with magnifying glass, cooking over fire, impaling on [[SpikesOfDoom spikes]], choking on food, thrown off a cliff... [[LongList the list goes on!]]
** You can also use a few things on the dodo bird and monkeys.

* ZombieGait: Thanks to the Zombie Pygmies.

* ShockAndAwe: One of your god powers is lightning, which can be used for striking Pygmies (and dodo birds and [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys monkeys)]], [[MundaneUtility or starting a bonfire]].

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Not for the [[ChewToy Pygmies.]] They throw the Pygmies off cliffs and [[NightmareFuel rip their faces off!]]

* BiggerOnTheInside: [[WombLevel Inside the snake]]. Justified in that this is in a [[DreamWorld dream world]].

* DreamWorld: The Island of Misfit Crossovers. To access it for the first time, you have to tap the dream bubble above a sleeping Pygmy.

* CloudCuckooLander: Charlie

* AGodIsYou: Well, duh.
* GottaCatchEmAll: The God Idols.

* TearOffYourFace: One of the more nightmarish sacrifices.

* VideoGameSettings:
** DeathMountain: Ape Mountain. [[SincerityMode Fitting]], considering the location's features are all about sacrificing Pygmies. It is also the first area to not feature any water.

** PalmtreePanic: Sand Island.
** {{Prehistoria}}: Technically the whole game (it's set in the time of Panagea), but Rock Island is most fitting (it has a Tyrannosaurus Rex).
** SlippySlideyIceWorld: Ice Island. The Purification Chamber also appears to be this.

** Ep 30: Great Job, Ice Hole
** Ep 32: Crack is Wack
** Ep 36: Konkey Dong

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: ... or you can kill them in a load of different ways: Drowning, flicking, [[ShockAndAwe striking with lightning]], volcanic eruption, feeding to [[EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks sharks]], feeding to [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs tyrannosaurus rex]], feeding the [[GiantSpider barking spider]], [[RunningGag feeding to]] [[EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods squid]], incinerating with magnifying glass, cooking over fire, impaling on [[SpikesOfDoom spikes]], choking on food, thrown off a cliff... [[LongList the list goes on!]]

* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: The ice squid can eat Pygmies. [[NightmareFuel Or pull their head off!]]

* SuperNotDrowningSkills: In [[UnderTheSea the Underwater Area and Coral Reef]], the Pygmies never run out of air, which causes a [[FridgeLogic logic problem]] with the before mentioned [[SuperDrowningSkills Super Drowning Skills]].

*** To be fair though, Bolt Creative did say at one point that they would go back to weekly updates, but this never happened....

* AGodIsYou: [[CaptainObvious Well, duh]].

* ThreateningShark: [[CaptainObvious The shark]]. You can feed Pygmies to it, drop it on their head, knock them into the water with it, or let them (attempt) to catch it...

** "Ep 31: What's the Story, Morning Gory", which is reference to the song "What's the story, morning glory" by {{Oasis}}.

** [[{{Oasis}} Ep 31: What's the Story, Morning Gory?]]. See [[ShoutOut Shout Out]].

** When a Pygmy is possessed by a Ghost Pygmy, [[TheExorcist their head rotates 360 degrees, then they throw up]].

** In the alien world skin pack, you can change the meteor into a [[Franchise/StarWars interrogation Droid and the spear into a lightsaber]], the t-rex egg into an [[Franchise/{{Alien}} alien egg]], and can turn the Sand Island statue into the monolith from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOddyssey''.
