* CategoryTraitor: Zig-zagged. Orella hasn't defected to the Birds and acknowledges the danger they pose to Where We Live enough to help Laika destroy the Big Tree, but she also genuinely loves their culture and history to the point she's willing to demean herself as a laborer under the Birds.
* DrivenToSuicide: Wracked with guilt for helping Laika destroy the Big Tree and kill Pope Melva VIII, Orella hangs herself just outside the Tree's grounds.
* ForeignCultureFetish: She is completely enamoured with the extensive chronicling of their spiritual leadership the Birds have stored at the Big tree, and can't bear to see it destroyed.
* MsExposition: She frequently tries to tell Laika about Bird history and theology as Laika explores the Big Tree, but Laika constantly brushes her off due to her laconic personality.

----
* AdvancingBossOfDoom: During the segments in between where it stops moving, Laika must hurriedly use her bike to ascend the lighthouse before it can catch up with her.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: After dealing with its bubble attacks for a period, the Bird engineer driving it will pop his head out of the cockpit. This is your prompt to shoot him. Rinse and repeat three times and it's dead.
* BubbleGun: Its primary attacks come from two weapons built into its claws which fire bubbles at you. The blue ones just cause extreme knockback which can be deadly if you're in a bad position, but the red ones will just straight-up kill you.
* GiantEnemyCrab: Per the name, it's a gargantuan swimcrab. Hilariously, like the TropeNamer, you must ''also'' AttackItsWeakPoint [[ThisIndexHitsForMassiveDamage For Massive Damage]].
* MarathonBoss: It takes a ''long'' time to defeat A Gargantuan Swimcrab from start to finish, as Laika will have to scale up the lighthouse every time after it periodically stops and fires bubbles at her, and if you mess up once you'll have to start all over again.

[[folder:A Caterpillar Made of Sadness]]
A horrifically augmented naked mole rat corpse outfitted with dozens of missile launchers. Laika encounters it four separate times deep in the mines Where Rock Bleeds before managing to finally kill it.
----
* AdvancingBossOfDoom: It will always be careening right behind Laika, and flying back into it is instant death.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Its primary means of attack are launching a veritable megaton of missles and bombs at Laika, which she must either dodge or shoot to avoid.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "A Caterpillar Made of Sadness" sounds like the aftermath of a horrific torture experiment ([[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke which it is, in a way]]).
* RecurringBoss: Laika fights it four separate times throughout Where Rock Bleeds, and each time it gains a new missile attack.
* ShowsDamage: Each time it's defeated, more of its skin is peeled off until it's almost nothing but a bleached skeleton on wheels.
