Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Creatures based on puns.
* '''Straight''': A tiger shark that resembles a [[MixAndMatchCritters hybrid of a tiger and a shark]].
* '''Exaggerated''': Being a WorldOfPun, all of the creatures reference puns; besides the tiger shark, there's also a snowy owl that's actually made of snow, a king penguin which actually rules a kingdom, and [[SeahorseSteed seahorses that act like horses]], and cantaloupe-antelope hybrids, to name a few.
* '''Downplayed''': The tiger shark has stripes, which [[TruthInTelevision real tiger sharks do have]], but they're more prominent than they are in real life.
* '''Justified''': The creatures are made by a genetic engineer with a very good sense of humor.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''': A tiger shark appears in the work, but it's actually portrayed more like a real tiger shark rather than for wordplay.
* '''Double Subverted''': But there is a catfish, which resembles a hybrid between a cat and a fish.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Creatures are not based on any puns.
* '''Enforced''': The creators of the work want to make a good joke.
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': "Due to cartoons, I thought catfish looked like a mix between cats and fish."
