It's sad, because this is such a good image...

...But it's 2/3rds of the comic strip.

Also, it annoys me a little that instead being potholed to the original creator or linked to them or something, it's just potholed to the franchise itself. Like it's official art.

Opening. I think we should find a non-Zubat image anyway to avoid making the trope look like "bat enemies".

I agree. The trope is about enemies that are not dangerous but annoying. The current image would mislead people to think it's about literal bats.

This good for a possible replacement? Or do we wanna do something with more enemies? (It’s breath of the wild, btw)

It's not clear what's going on in the pic since it's a bit dark and vague.

The trope isn't Bat Out of Hell, or about bats at all, it's "weak enemies that are annoying".

We could also move the image I put on GoddamnedBats.The Legend Of Zelda here, showing Link surrounded by Miniblins looking annoyed.

The player probably has the same expression as Link when dealing with these things.

13's fine.

[up][up] Why would actual bats work better? Sticking to the title only makes the trope seem narrow.

[up] They shouldn't, tropes often have Non-Indicative Name (and if people use bats as examples that's a warrant to rename the trope). Images only need to demonstrate the description.

Tropes Are Flexible, and images are a good way to reflect that. It’s why, say, the pic for Pet the Dog contains a cat.

Speaking of unsourced images, who did Goddamned Boss? It looks like the same source as the image we just pulled, yet links to A Link To The Past.
