Line #2 PlayingWith/EliteMooks


1	'''Basic Trope''': A type of {{Mook}} that is considerably stronger than the average one.
2	* '''Straight''': The Yellow shirt accompanying every group of five RedShirts has twice as many hit points and a better weapon.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** DemonicSpiders (Where EliteMooks constitute an unfairly large amount of the enemy force)
5	** BossInMookClothing.
6	** [[HeroKiller The Yellow shirt murders the hero and his pals.]]
7	* '''Downplayed''':
8	** The yellow shirts take a hit more to go down than the RedShirts.
9	** The yellow shirts are stronger than the RedShirts, but the hero is so powerful that he can easily defeat them, and hardly be able to tell a difference between the two.
10	* '''Justified''':
11	** RankScalesWithAsskicking
12	** Yellow shirts tend to have more rigorous training regimens, better weapons, and better armor.
13	* '''Inverted''':
14	** Enemies are introduced below the basic mooks on the [[SortingAlgorithmofEvil Sorting Algorithm of Evil]].
15	** The yellow shirts are weaker than the standard red shirts, and are only used when the RedShirt have already lost a lot of numbers.
16	* '''Subverted''': Because they spend a lot of time behind a desk, officers are actually weaker in combat than regular soldiers.
17	* '''Double Subverted''': Except that some officers are smart enough to train extra-hard to compensate.
18	* '''Parodied''': The mooks go down if you breathe at them, while their squad leader can swim through molten rock.
19	* '''Zig Zagged''': The Yellow shirt appears to be more intimidating than the other mooks, but in reality fights like a red shirt. However, many other yellow shirts are dangerously competent, but so are some reds, since it's all a matter of individual prowess and not designation.
20	* '''Averted''': Despite differences in appearance, all mooks are about the same strength, possibly with different weapons.
21	* '''Enforced''': "Hey, throw in a QuirkyMiniBossSquad to make the fights more interesting."
22	* '''Lampshaded''': "Having a hard time? Who said we are all incompetent goons?"
23	* '''Invoked''': Officers are required to prove themselves stronger than average before they are promoted.
24	* '''Exploited''': Since Evulz's Mooks are easy to go through, Captain Amazing focuses on taking out the leaders first.
25	* '''Defied''': Evulz requires all his underlings to be of a certain strength, and seeds stronger ones in the ranks to take the heroes by surprise.
26	* '''Discussed''': The heroes point out that certain mooks are stronger and remember to pay special attention when dealing with them.
27	* '''Implied''': The mook looks like another redshirt, but is able to stand out and give the heroes a hard time.
28	* '''Deconstructed''': The mook sticks out well with his skills and the chance of his death increases with the heroes focusing on him.
29	* '''Reconstructed''': The Yellow shirt is able to amaze his fellow subordinates with his ability to stand a chance against the heroes, prompting all other mooks to adopt his style and improve efficiency of the army.
30	* '''Played For Laughs''': The elite mook makes a glamorous appearance with all red shirts lining up to take his autograph.
31	* '''Played For Drama''': Things are going smoothly for the heroes, until the elite mook shows up and things become tougher. He may even invoke DarkerAndEdgier if he takes out a member of the crew.
