Killer Rabbit/Playing With

Basic Trope: A cute critter that can hand out pain and death with no problem.

• Straight: Kelvin is a cute baby unicorn who can shoot huge bolts of electricity from his horn.
• Exaggerated: Kelvin is a Tastes Like Diabetes baby unicorn who can create giant hurricanes that can destroy entire cities, and sometimes even planets at will.
• Justified: Unicorns were always capable of doing this as a way of self-defense.
  • "Cute" doesn't discourage most predators, and unicorns are one of the many species that developed something that would.
• Inverted: Fake Ultimate Mook
• Subverted: The electric bolts that Kelvin attacks with are big, but they aren't very painful.
• Double Subverted: ...But he is also capable of burning down foes to ashes with his fire-breath attacks.
  • The "not-so-painful" electric bolts blind Kelvin's enemies.
  • Even better, the bolts leave a huge psychological scar on the enemies.
• Parodied: In the story's setting, the cuter a creature is, the stronger it is, while the uglier a monster is, the weaker it is.
• Deconstructed: ???
• Reconstructed: ???
• Zig Zagged: Not all cute creatures have powerful attacking capabilities, but it is impossible to know which.
• Averted: No creature is capable of being dangerous as well as cute at the same time.
• Enforced: "Viewers like cute creatures, as well as powerful ones. Let's combine both features to make something that will please all the fans!"
• Lampshaded: "It's amazing how a critter so cute can cause so much destruction."
  • "And that's why you can't keep him."
• Invoked: A species of small carnivores has evolved to look much less dangerous than they actually are as a way of catching potential prey off-guard.
• Defied: Kelvin refuses to learn offensive powers, arguing that his cuteness would act as a natural form of protection.
• Discussed: ???
• Conversed: ???
