12	!!''The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths'' provides examples of the following tropes:
13
14	* CreationMyth: ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. This comics series tells how the ''The Dark Crystal'' universe came to exist.
15	* NakedOnArrival: The Skeksis and urRu (Mystics) appeared naked when their urSkeks selves split apart.
16	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Before the advent of a Skeksis emperor, skekShod questions the need for a ruler and openly mocks skekSo as the potential candidate. This enrages skekSo, who beats him to a pulp with the scepter then asks if anyone else wants to question his rule. Nobody does, unsurprisingly.
17	* OriginsEpisode: The origins of Aughra, the Skeksis, the Mystics and the Gelflings are detailed in this series.
18	* PlantPerson: Aughra was born as a plant sprouting from Thra itself.
19	* {{Synchronization}}: The fact that the lives of the Skeksis and Mystics are linked is discovered when a Skeksis goes on a killing spree, strangling a Mystic and throwing another down the shaft of the Crystal. This causes two Skeksis to die as well.
