VampireVarietyPack is a subtrope for when OurVampiresAreDifferent is exaggerated.



* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent, but Jim Butcher's werewolves in his second ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' novel ''Literature/FoolMoon'' are even different from ''each other''; the book features [[spoiler:four]] entirely dissimilar and unrelated kinds of werewolf. Later books give the exact same treatment to OurVampiresAreDifferent, too.
** Creator/MercedesLackey does the OurVampiresAreDifferent trope as well in ''Literature/ChildrenOfTheNight'', which has three different varieties of vampire colliding.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'' exaggerates IfItBleedsItLeads with [[BigBad Elliot Carver]]. Not only does he and his media company jump on tragedies and conflicts in order to write about them as soon as possible, they often create or instigate said events to be the first to write about them and the plot is about them sparking a conflict between the UK and China for the sake of ratings and cable rights.

Fixed the Web Animation category, but the link is still red. Looks like the series doesn't have a page as of now.


* ''WebaAnimation/RuneAdventure'' exaggerates SexyDimorphism when it comes to human beings. While the male characters are shown with normal bodies, the women have exaggeratedly luscious bodies, with [[MostCommonSuperpower large, inflated breasts]] and [[ComicallyOversizedButt exaggeratedly enormous butts]] in proportion to their size.

* ''Webcomic/HaileyFlower'' exaggerates {{Gasshole}} in Victoria Flower, the mother of the titular character. Although this can also apply to all female characters because in this world only and solely women can fart, Victoria takes it to the extreme when it is revealed that she has throwing the same uninterrupted fart for thirty years.

* A TooDumbToLive drug dealer in the ''Series/{{Castle}}'' episode "Sucker Punch" has an exaggerated version of CutHimselfShaving inflicted on him. His injuries are very obviously the result of being beaten half to death by the local [[TheIrishMob Irish mob]] ("very obviously," as in Castle and Beckett ''literally walked in on the beating''), but he explains it as having fallen down the stairs. And his eye being swollen shut due to having hit a door on his way down. And his mangled hand as a result of getting it caught in a grate at the bottom.

** SatiatingSandwich gets the extreme treatement in one early volume. The group manage to steal a gigantic six chilogram sandwich the size of a truck tire filled with ham, mustard, pickles, tomato and salad. The baker who made it (for a culinary exposition) [[SeriousBusiness is so distraught]] over its loss [[SuicideAsComedy that he commits Seppuku with his bread knife]].

* ''WesternAnimation/BigMouth'' exaggerates HormoneAddledTeenager. The main characters are 13 and are fueled by the fact that they are being goaded on by AnthropomorphicPersonifications of their hormones. The ''first episode alone'' literally has Andrew ejaculating in his pants after dancing with Missy and another has Jay turning his pillow into a vagina. And that's not even getting into the ''endless'' number of masturbation jokes.

* Book 2 of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem'' exaggerates HeroesPreferSwords, as axes are relegated to being UnusableEnemyEquipment, and cavalry units are forced to dismount in indoor chapters, thereby switching to swords. With Knights being the only melee units that can equip [[BladeOnAStick lances]] in indoor chapters, it's not unlikely to have a large chunk of the player's army equip swords at a given time.

Power Walk was renamed by TRS. Removing or reworking misuse when necessary.


* An exaggerated version of PowerWalk is in ''Film/HotRod'', set to John Farnham's "You're The Voice." Starts off pretty normal with the main cast doing it, and winds up with half the town following them and a mass riot breaking out. With bagpipes blaring in the background.
