Line #7 PlayingWith/ScoobyDooHoax


1	'''Basic Trope''': A crook dresses up as a monster.
2	* '''Straight''': Zadax disguises himself as a well-known evil mythical monster, the Blood Dragon.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Zadax disguises himself as the well-known evil mythical monster, the Blood Dragon. [[HumongousMecha This includes a massive robotic armoured suit, fully functioning roaring mechanisms, and flamethrowers.]]
4	* '''Downplayed''': Zadax himself is a wizard, but he uses magic to disguise himself as a much more threatening Blood Dragon.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** Zadak wants to protect his lands from other evil-doers, who are superstitious of the legend he is impersonating.
7	** Zadax was creating hype for a [[HalloweenSpecial Halloween Event]]. [[note]]Weltingsville would have had the best Halloween ever if it hadn't been for YouMeddlingKids![[/note]]
8	* '''Inverted''':
9	** [[ScarecrowSolution Alice disguises herself as a goddess to help rid the town of evil.]]
10	** A monster [[TheyLookLikeUsNow disguises itself as a human]] to avoid scaring people.
11	* '''Subverted''':
12	** Alice finds the 'Blood Dragon', and tries to pull his head off, only to hear [[OhCrap an angry growl from the Blood Dragon]], who was RealAfterAll.
13	** There was a real one alongside the fake.
14	* '''Double Subverted''': Alice finds the 'Blood Dragon', and tries to pull his head off, only to hear an angry growl. After a chase, the rather more realistic suit gets ruined, and Zadax is pulled out by his feet.
15	* '''Parodied''': Zadax reveals his glorious scheme to terrify TheHero. It consists of an obviously fake rubber [[CaptainErsatz Deityzard outfit]].
16	* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice pulls at the head of the collapsed Blood Dragon, [[MadeOfPlasticine only to tear it off]]. But now the Blood Dragon's ''brother'' is attacking! After the fight, Alice reveals the dragon to be Zadax in a suit. Zadax then turns out to be TheWormThatWalks.
17	* '''Averted''': [[PersonOfMassDestruction Zadax]] [[SpikesOfVillainy doesn't need a suit]] [[GameFace to terrify people.]]
18	* '''Enforced''': "It's a [[GenreThrowback throwback]] to cheesy 1970's B-movies, we ''need'' a villain in a rubber suit!"
19	* '''Lampshaded''': "What is this, [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall a throwback to cheesy B-movies?]]"
20	* '''Invoked''': "The peasants are gullible. What if I used their [[OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions foolish Blood Dragon against them?]]"
21	* '''Exploited''':
22	** "You know how people tend to disguise themselves as monsters around here? We could build our tourism on it."
23	** The Blood Dragon is real, but Zadax builds an obviously fake 'Blood Dragon' to cover the existence of the real one.
24	* '''Defied''': "Wait, no, that's stupid. Let's use a HumongousMecha [[RuleOfThree instead]]!"
25	* '''Discussed''': "Do they actually think that tricks like this work on people?"
26	* '''Conversed''': "If I know my bad Sci-Fi Villains, we should be seeing a {{Mook}} in a suit any second now."
27	* '''Deconstructed''':
28	** Constantly being revealed as being a man in a suit enrages and motivates Zadax, so he builds a much more [[RunningGag deadly and powerful]] [[HumongousMecha mecha]], which destroys the town.
29	** Zadax nearly suffocates inside the suit due to lack of air during the chase sequence. [[TheHero Faye]] is forced to pause it to cut him out and save him.
30	* '''Reconstructed''':
31	** After a long and arduous battle, the heroes split open the head of the machine, to reveal Zadax controlling its every movement.
32	** Whether he's a monster or just some human crook in a suit, Zadax is still willing to do some pretty awful things (probably even violent things) to achieve his goal. He is an evil that must be stopped.
33	** Zadax chalks up the experience [[ButForMeItWasTuesday to being another evil plan gone wrong]].
