Basic Trope: An excessive number of extremely small or weak creatures - typically a swarm of insects - attack in unison.
  • Straight: A million locusts swarm Bobby.
  • Exaggerated: An infinite amount of locusts swarm Bobby, all at once.
  • Justified: The locust breeding season got a bit too intense this year.
  • Inverted: Giant Mook.
  • Subverted: Everything points towards a few million locusts appearing, but only a few locusts swarm Bobby.
  • Double Subverted: The rest just showed up late.
  • Logical Extreme: All the locusts in the world swarm Bobby, all at once.
  • Downplayed: A dozen locusts swarm Bobby.
  • Parodied: It's not even locusts, it's locust plushies.
