History WebAnimation / TrueTail

* NiceHat: Melody wears one.

* TwoGirlsToATeam: On this team, they're Doh-Li and Melody.

* KillerRabbit: Melody the Bard. She has ninja weapons, particularly [[KnifeNut a knife collection]] that she apparently keeps in {{Hammerspace}}.

On the surface, the original ''True Tail'' looks like a story of how a young orphan cat (Caleb Truetail) teams up with a hulking brute bear knight (Brutus Ironclaw), an old phoenix wizard (Kanikus), a half-dragon half-sheep priestess (Doh-Li), a thief fox (Viktor) and a CuteButPsycho rabbit bard (Melody Briar) to fight an evil bird wizard, or in other words, ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''... [[RecycledInSpace with]] [[AnthropomorphicAnimalAdaptation animals]]. However, it takes place in the fantastical medieval world of Splitpaw, a land inhabited by anthropomorphic animals. Fortune and adventure await those that are willing to claim it! But there is a darkness festering within the land, casting a shadow over any would-be heroes.

* ALoadOfBull: Boris Tauris, though he's said to be rather agreeable when not in combat.

!The First Version

!The Second Version

On 1 July 2017, Skynamic announced that after a series of unsuccessful meetings with Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, they had reworked the show in an effort to make it more network-friendly. (Other changes included giving several characters new surnames and [[TheOtherDarrin recasting most of the voice actors]] from the unfinished pilot.) The revised premise centers on [[TitleDrop True Tail]], a [[AcademyOfAdventure school for prospective heroes.]] Caleb Lightpaw and Melody Briar are students, along with younger versions of Doh-Li Ling and Viktor Silvertod; the faculty includes Brutus Ironclaw and Kanikus; and several new characters, both pupils and teachers, are introduced. (The creators have said that this version might be a {{Prequel}} to the original.) Therefore, this page is now divided into two sections: one for the old version, and one for the new one.

!!True Tail Tropes:

[[folder:Tropes Common to Both Versions]]

[[folder: Tropes Exclusive to Old True Tail]]

[[folder:Tropes Exclusive to New True Tail]]

* BarefootCartoonAnimal: The entire cast, with a few exceptions. Brutus [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal doesn't wear pants]], while Viktor and Garth wear [[Disney/{{Zootopia}} Judy Hopps]]-style toeless spats.

The creators will soon launch a Websiter/{{Patreon}} account to further fund the series.

Since its announcement on August 2013, ''True Tail'' grew a reasonable fanbase, and progress on the series resumed after a very long hiatus started August 2014 and ended March 29th 2015. The pilot was scheduled to be completed in 2016, but was [[ScheduleSlip delayed]] by the creators' efforts to sell the show to a network. However, in May 2015 the creators posted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvg37jwcz8s an animatic]] of the episode... which is likely as far as it will ever get.

In June 2019, the creators launched a Website/{{Kickstarter}} campaign for the series with a goal of $25,000. The campaign successfully concluded on August 21st 2019, ultimately raising $59,500 -- more than twice enough to fund a 9-11 minute pilot for the series.

''True Tail'' follow the adventures of Caleb Truetail, an orphaned kitten looking for a family, who finds one in the most unlikely of places: a group of mercenaries. Accustomed to working alone, and willing to sell their services to the highest bidder, these mercenaries find themselves being forced to team up in order to obtain an artifact for an evil cockatrice. Will this group of rowdy "heroes" overcome their flaws and work together, or will they succumb to the treacherous plans of Eldritch the Necromancer?

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:The pilot ends with one. Caleb seems to be swept over a cliff, but he survives by holding onto the tapestry.]]

* AlphaBitch: Heavily downplayed with Harper. She's all about her good looks, but is unquestionably one of the heroes.

* FurryConfusion: Lyra is a werewolf, in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals. Apparently how that works is that her "human" form is the purple anthro wolf seen on the website's cast page, and her "wolf" form is something more beastly, as seen [[https://www.deviantart.com/art/Beauty-is-a-Beast-734876737 here]].

* ALoadOfBull: Boris, though he's said to be rather agreeable when not in combat.

* PreciousPuppy: Garth.
