4	''[[http://dapukas.com Da Pukas]]'' is a webcomic made by Pembroke W. Korgi, aka Robbie Allen creator of {{WebComic/Femmegasm}}, that started in 2016 on November 10th. The story stars a bunch of of the titular rabbit-like creatures who live deep underground; namely [[IdiotHero Lider]], his best friend [[ShrinkingViolet Apocado]], and their various friends who are all sent out to explore the caverns around their village. Along the way they encounter many strange creatures, some friendly others not so much, as well as find out what happened to Lider's missing mother.

7	----
8	!!''Da Pukas'' provides examples of:
9	* AmbiguousGender: Chacal, no one knows Chacal's gender, except for Chacal, and they aren't telling. They even used it ''[[http://dapukas.com/?comic=gender to taunt Artifice]]''. [[spoiler: It is eventually revealed that Chacal is female.]]
10	* ArtEvolution: Most of the Pukas have stayed the same since their first appearance, Alegre being the only exception: she started out with a squat and stout design similar to her fellow pukas, but as time has gone on she has gotten taller, bustier, and her already broad hips have continued to grow wider.
11	* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Chacal is a truly huge jackal who wants to eat the pukas.
12	* BeneathTheEarth: The setting of the story.
13	* BloodKnight: Ali and Artifice both have shades of this.
14	* CasanovaWannabe: Portazo is a prime example. He'll hit on anything that is female and moves... [[EveryoneHasStandards Except Ali.]]
15	* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Malo]], after getting blamed for something they didn't do, ends up accepting a deal from and getting possessed by [[spoiler:Zyro, the skull she obtained earlier]].
16	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The pukas are not at all enthused about Ali’s help. Justified given the amount of trouble she has given them in the past. Heck, it goes so far that Chacal actually outright refuses to eat Ali, despite getting the perfect chance twice.
17	* FunnyAnimal: The pukas. The one exception being Alegre who used to be this but steadily became a HumanoidFemaleAnimal.
18	* HartmanHips: Alegre already had some impressive hips at the start, but when ArtEvolution kicked in they just got bigger to the point her rear and legs outsize her whole upper body.
19	* HoldYourHippogriffs: When surprised or scared the pukas will often exclaim "Lords Of Light" or "Lords of Darkness". On occasion they also invoke the name of some possible creator being named Blog.
20	* HumanoidFemaleAnimal: Averted with Apocado and Malo, but definitely played straight with Alegre who is much taller and more voluptuous than the other pukas.
21	* IdiotHero: Played with with Lider. He isn't a true idiot and has many moments of brilliance, but he is also much too reckless and naive for his own good.
22	* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: An unintentional example. Rumi manages to accidentally convince Portazo to forgive her after he [[BuxomBeautyStandard notices her ample chest]].
23	* ImAHumanitarian: [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed that the real reason Chacal is Muerte's disgraced daughter is because she was caught eating other jackals at the last family gathering she attended.]]
24	* ImpossibleHourGlassFigure: Ali.
25	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
26	** Malo is easily the grumpiest and rudest of the pukas, but she truly does love her sister and care for her friends.
27	** Ali is vain and often misguided in her attempts at heroism, but she is indeed quite heroic when she tries.
28	* KangarooCourt: The Council of Pukas. They try to exile Lider and the others, only stopping short when it is pointed out to them that exiling a bunch of young pukas would result in the rest of the town turning against the Council.
29	* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:Bimmy Law]]'s final words are "[[spoiler:Mary Anne!]] I'm so...", and then [[spoiler:Chacal crunches him with her teeth]].
30	* MoleMen: Or in the case of Rumi, a mole girl.
31	* MsFanservice:
32	** Alegre, she has an a curvy figure with an especially large rear end that is [[MaleGaze often emphasized in certain shots.]]
33	** Rumi is a [[BigBeautifulwoman full-figured]] MonsterGirl with especially impressive breasts and skin-tight clothing.
34	** Ali also has a very nice figure.
35	* NiceGuy: Lider is a very nice and jovial guy, though he has a habit of being InnocentlyInsensitive.
36	* OnlySaneMan: Apocado and Artifice take turns being this.
37	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: The dragon Quetz breaths fire and has a huge hoard of treasure that he is possessive of like many traditional Western dragons, but in lieu of horns he has two little antenna-like protrusions and is much more reasonable than your average dragon. His friend Shorty is much smaller and has a big mane of hair on his head.
38	* ThePollyanna: Alegre is very jolly and optimistic, quite the contrast to her sister Malo.
39	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Mayor Ku is a kindly woman who happily lets the pukas into her city and gives them supplies.
40	* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler:Bimmy Law]] makes a deal with Chacal; they'll help Chacal break into Belmontville and eat a villager, and in exchange, Chacal will help them become the town's crime boss. Take a guess which villager Chacal picks before going to wreck the whole town.
41	* ShrinkingViolet: Apocado is shy and meek, though has steadily gotten more confident.
