There are many more tropes to find by searching for "crowd".
I've tried adding all the related tropes by searching for "crowd". I didn't add In With The In Crowd because "in-crowd" actually refers to a small group of people. Other tropes like Win Back The Crowd are Audience Reactions tropes.

Would Foreboding Fleeing Flock count?
I don't think Foreboding Fleeing Flock counts because it could be just a small group of fleeing animals. Granted, most of these tropes have edge cases where a small group could count as a crowd, but the focus of this trope is on the "foreboding" element, not the large number of animals fleeing.
Would All Of The Other Reindeer count, since it involves large groups, or is that too situational?
I think All Of The Other Reindeer would count as a large group of characters.
I don't think it does, since it's more about the effect on the character.
I added a laconic description of Torches And Pitchforks.
