%%* ActionGirl: Costa.

%%* ProfessionalKiller: Baskerville, and Norman.

* ActionGirl: Costa.

* BadassInANiceSuit: Every fighter in Amaranth use suits as uniforms. Independent agents like Baskerville and Norman have fancier suits though to reflect their professions as killers.

* BoxingBattler: Baul was training to be a boxer at the beginning of the story so his fighting style consists mostly of this. It is subverted in that Baul also uses brawling, grappling, and the occasional kick against his opponents.
** Aaron later learns boxing after Baul takes him under his wing.

** RebuiltPedestal: By the end of the story arc [[spoiler:Dorian makes it up to Dirk and Aaron by assisting in the defeat of Norman, he then goes back to being friends with Dirk.]]

* ProfessionalKiller: Baskerville, and Norman to a lesser extent.

** Baul has a preference for fighting with his fists as a result of being a BoxingBattler.

* FateWorseThanDeath: Among felines [[spoiler:being declawed counts is the equivalent of a slow death sentence since they can no longer fight with them to defend themselves. Chrome doesn't seem to mind though due to him still being a badass fighter and using the claws of his feet for fighting.]]

* HeKnowsTooMuch: It is implied that this is why Baskerville was tasked to kill Hester in the first place.
* HellHound: Baskerville fits this theme with his [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes,]] black fur, and his occupation as an assassin.

* KillerRabbit: Hester, who is quite a good fighter in spite of being a hare. He is introduced when he tries to kill Alessa and would have succeeded had Baul not defeated him. Somewhat subverted, as he is not that much of a threat compared to other characters that Baul will face or meet after him.

* MightyGlacier: Baul is not fast or agile, but he is also very resistant and his attacks are quite damaging in comparison to his enemies.

* NaturalWeapon: Being a fighting story featuring anthropomorphic animals, the characters use their natural anatomy to their advantage.

* ParasolOfPain: One of the Lycaon brothers use a parasol as one as his preferred weapon. He can use it as a stabbing weapon due to the tip being sharp, or he can use it as a distracting tool by opening it to attack his opponents with another weapon. Unfortunately, he's fighting against Costa, who figures out his tricks easily.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:After Dirk nearly kills Hoover during their second fight because of his association with Norman and Baskerville, and nearly trimg to kill him in the past with a bomb, Dorian attempts to give up his life as penance. Luckily, Chrome and company arrive to save him.]]

* TroubledButCute: Aaron spends most of his debut arc being stuck in the conflict between Dirk and Dorian. [[spoiler: The fact that he nearly got his uncle Dirk nearly killed in an explosion only makes him feel more guilty at himself and his perceived weakness.]]

* MightyGlacier: Baul is not fast or agile but he is also very resistant and his attacks are quite damaging in comparison to his enemies.

* MyGreatestFailure: Baul being unable [[spoiler:to protect Hester from Baskerville in his first mission really depressed him.]]

* NobleDemon: Baskerville only kills his intended targets and he doesn't like to kill cowards.

* ParasolOfPain: One of the Lycaon brothers use this one as his preferred weapon.

* PlotTriggeringDeath: Baskerville's desire to kill Hester is pretty much what caused Baul to join Amaranth.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:After Dirk nearly kills Hoover during their second fight be due of his association with Norman and Baskerville and nearly trimg to kill him, Dorian attempts to give up his life as penance. Luckily, Chrome and company arrive to save him.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Baskerville has red eyes and he is also a professional killer. Coupled with the GlowingEyesOfDoom that happen in the story, makes him attacking a very scary sight.
* RetiredBadass: Pann may be an old goat with a need for bodyguards but he was a former agent and still has enough skill to slip through security and talk to Baul.

** NotSoStoic: He's pretty much a rampaging bull bent on destroying his enemies. [[spoiler:He does have a soft side as he felt insecure with the bomb that was planted on Dirk's basement, to the point on which Dorian had to reassure him, in spite of him just recently been beaten by Dirk in a fight. He later comforts Dirk over Aaron leaving at the end of the story arc.]]

* TroubledButCute: Aaron is this on account of being stuck in the conflict between Dirk and Dorian.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Dorian and Hoover used to be friends with Dirk but they grew apart as they grow older, [[spoiler:to the point of Dirk getting into a fight with Hoover after a disagreement with Dorian. By the end of the story arc, the three of them are on the road to repair their friendship.]]

* ExtremityExtremist: Baul has a preference for fighting with his fists Asa result of being a BoxingBattler. Hester is a hare and a DanceBattler so he uses kicks when fighting. When fighting seriously, Chrome prefers to use kicks [[spoiler: due to him being declawed and only able to use the claws on his feet for serious battles.]]

** Felines are not very popular among other animals and the feeling is mutual. Norman and the cheetah twins were shown remarking their superiority due to them being felines.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Among felines [[spoiler:being declawed counts as this. Chrome doesn't seem to mind though s he still badass and uses the claws of his feet for fighting.]]
* FingerlessGloves: Baul is given a couple of these as a gift before going on his second mission.
* FinishingStomp: Costa finishes a fight with one of these. Subverted in that she misses her opponent's head on purpose to do an IntimidationDemonstration so that she could convince him to give up. Her opponent gives up immediately as Costa's large hoof stands beside his head.
* FragileSpeedster: Hester is fast and agile enough to hit Baul repeatedly in their fight. However, he can't take a hit as Baul is quick to beat him down once he gets within striking distance.
* FrenchJerk: Norman Pluto.

* HappilyAdopted: Aaron looks up to Dirk ever since he adopted him as his nephew. The feeling is mutual with Dirk.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Deep down, [[spoiler:Dorian misses Dirk and regrets losing his friendship. He is very ashamed when an attempt to intimidate Dirk nearly kills him. However, he is willing to pretend that he doesn't care to keep up appearances. Deconstructed as this nearly got Hoover killed, had him watch Dirk go berserk again, and nearly cost him his life by the climax of his arc.]]

* IdiotHero: Baul is not dumb per se but he does commit foolish mistakes that are lethal in his new line of work. This includes fighting against opponents that outmatch him, revealing his real name to Baskerville, and nearly revealing his mission to Pann in spite of the possibility of him being a traitor. He gets called out repeatedly on this.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: Pretty much why Aaron wants Baul to teach him boxing. He believes that if he is strong [[spoiler:then he can help Dirk with his conflict with Dorian.]]
* ImpaledPalm: Baskerville does this to Baul in their first fight.

** [[spoiler:During their fight, Baskerville non-lethally slits Chrome's throat, just to show him that he could have killed him anytime in their fight and that he only spared him because he was paid to give him a message.]]
* {{Jobber}}: Baul was this to pure bred fighting dogs. He even refers to himself as such during a conversation.

* KillerRabbit: Hester, who is quite a good fighter in spite of being a hare. He is introduced when he tries to kill Alessa and would have succeeded had Baul not defeated him. Somewhat subverted as he is not that much of a threat compared to other characters that Baul will face or meet after him.
* KnifeNut: Downplayed, Norman is wearing Kukiri knives but he fights better with his claws and martial arts.
* LightningBruiser: Chrome is bigger, faster, and stronger than Baul in their fight. The same can be said about Costa in her fight scene. Baskerville is fast and deadly with his fighting style.

* TheApprentice: Norman Pluto is this to Baskerville.
** Aaron becomes this to Baul

* BadassInANiceSuit: Every fighter in Amaranth seems to use suits as uniforms. Independent agents like Baskerville and Norman have fancier suits though to reflect their professions as killers.

* TheBerserker: Dirk is this when he gets serious. In the few occasions he fought [[spoiler:he defeated Hoover twice and seriously injured him. He would have killed Dorian too had Chrome and company not arrived.]] Hoover appears to be this most of the time as well.

* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Baskerville has this as his trademark weapon and a main part of his fighting style.

** Aaron counts as this after Baul takes him under his wing.
* BreakTheHaughty: Norman suffers from this after he was defeated [[spoiler:and taken into custody by Amaranth.]]
* BrokenPedestal: Dorian, and Hoover to a lesser extent, be ame this to Dirk in the past. The same thing happened again with Aaron [[spoiler:after an accident nearly kills Dirk.]]
** RebuiltPedestal: By the end of the story arc [[spoiler:Dorian makes it up to the two by assisting in the defeat of Norman, he then goes back to being friends with Dirk.]]

* CatsAreMean: Norman Pluto fits this trope perfectly.
** Pretty much every feline that is not Chrome counts as this.
* CoolBigSister: Costa acts like one to Baul since he joins Amaranth, even coming with him on his first mission.
* CurbstompBattle: Baskerville dishes this in most of his appearances.
** Costa gives one to two of the Lycaon brothers during Baul's first mission.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Chrome has this as Alessa explained to Baul. [[spoiler:He was declawed and left to die before he joined Amaranth., to be specific about his past.]]

* TheDreaded: Baskerville is this to Hester due to him being sent to kill him [[spoiler: and succeeding. He then goes to become this to Baul.]]

* EvilBrit: The Lycaon brothers.

''Dogfight'' is a furry fighting KoreanWebtoon, featuring anthropomorphic animals engaging in martial arts. The story is written by Hyun-Wook in Naver under the title of "Gaepan" but it is also translated to English by PressedRatpie. The story focuses around Baul, an hybrid fighting dog who faces discrimination as a result of his pedigree. After his HairTriggerTemper prevents him from starting his boxing career as a result of him hurting a pure breed fighting dog who insulted him, Baul meets Alessa, a vixen who offers him work at Amaranth, an organization full of heroes that deliver justice where evil is lurking behind the shadows. While initially skeptical, after failing too many times in getting a job and a chance fight with a KillerRabbit, Baul finally decides to give Amaranth a try. Thanks to his new job, Baul will now find himself facing new enemies, those who oppose Amaranth...and those who lurk in the organization from the inside.

* {{Adorkable}}: Baul and later Aaron on account of their young ages.

* JerkassFacade: Deep down, [[spoiler:Dorian misses Dirk and regrets losing his friendship. He is very ashamed when an attempt to intimidate Dirk nearly kills him. However, he is willing to pretend that he doesn't care to keep up appearances. Deconstructed as this nearly got Hoover killed, had him watch Dirk go berserk again, and nearly cost him his life by the climax of his arc.]]

* PettingZooPeople: The cast is made of anthropomorphic animals.

* WorldOfBadass: Zigzagged between characters. Some characters are excellent fighters because of their species, particularly most of the cast being filled with big predators (such as felines and canines) with claws and teeth to kill and big prey (like bulls and horses) with hooves and horns to defend themselves. Other characters like Dorian (a rat) are just not meant to be fighters, which is why he relies on Hoover to do the fighting for him. Being a half fighting dog, Baul has trouble adapting to a world that is not this trope as he is discriminated for his breed.
