Basic Trope: Creatures based on puns.
- Straight: A tiger shark that resembles a hybrid of a tiger and a shark.
- Exaggerated: Being a World of Pun, all of the creatures reference puns; besides the tiger shark, there's also a snowy owl that's actually made of snow, a king penguin which actually rules a kingdom, and seahorses that act like horses, and cantaloupe-antelope hybrids, to name a few.
- Downplayed: The tiger shark has stripes, which real tiger sharks do have, but they're more prominent than they are in real life.
- Justified: The creatures are made by a genetic engineer with a very good sense of humor.
- Inverted: A seemingly pun-based creature ("This coconut's a crab!" "I told you to watch out for Coconut Crabs!") is just displaying why it got its name in the first place.
- Subverted: A tiger shark appears in the work, but it's actually portrayed more like a real tiger shark rather than for wordplay.
- Double Subverted: But there is a catfish, which resembles a hybrid between a cat and a fish.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: Creatures are not based on any puns.
- Enforced: The creators of the work want to make a good joke.
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: "Due to cartoons, I thought catfish looked like a mix between cats and fish."
