5	----
6	!!''Wagadu Chronicles'' provides examples of:
7
8	* AmnesiacDissonance: People who fall into Wagadu from the higher realm find that their memories of their life there are scrambled. It's common to meet someone who you knew while living there and find they remember things differently. One plot hook has the [=PCs=] remember that their quest giver was an enemy of theirs in the higher realm and wondering if [[TreacherousQuestGiver he does.]]
9	* AngryAngryHippos: Ekine Hippos are spirit hippopotami and some of the nastiest creatures in Wagadu, perhaps unsurprisingly they are some of the creatures immune to being bribed.
10	* ArmedLegs: Dyobi – the Runner is a spirit with long, needle like legs that can be used to stab enemies.
11	* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Inverted, all mortals on the plane descended from some higher plane.
12	* BadassBureaucrat: Udo – The Rule Master is an Undead created from an ObstructiveBureaucrat and like other spirits from the Ekpo Spirit family loves to wrestle.
13	* BegoneBribe: Most monsters in Wagadu are somewhat reasonable, [[BeatItByCompulsion or at least obsessive-compulsive enough]] to be convinced to leave you alone in the right circumstances.
14	* DarkIsNotEvil: The Black Ancestor spirit family is benevolent, and considering the settings default skin color for most characters in this setting the [[OurElvesAreDifferent Emere]] are closer to the High/Wood elf stereotype than they are to the Drow.
15	* DisabilitySuperpower: Anyone who was disabled in the Upper World gets some sort of ability to make up for it after falling to Wagadu.
16	* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Aigamuxa – The Hungry Devil is a Undead who walks on its hands and has eyes on the soles of his feet.
17	* FantasyCounterpartCulture: The setting is meant to be one for ancient Africa.
18	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: CharacterAlignment is a lot more flexible in Wagadu than other ''D&D'' settings; a LawfulGood spirit might turn ChaoticEvil if pissed off enough and vice versa.
19	* IntelligentPrimate: Bonu Amuen are Baboon spirits with fancy hairdo's.
20	* MassiveRaceSelection:
21	** Asimans: [[CallARabbitASmeerp Pretty much Genasi]]
22	** Daa'ima: [[LittleBitBeastly Humanoid moth people]]
23	** Emere: [[OurElvesAreDifferent Forest dwelling mystics]]
24	** Ikaki: A race of [[TokenAquaticRace amphibious humanoids.]]
25	** The Ironmasters: [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Short, stocky metalurgists with a fondness for growing beards.]]
26	** Lionbloods: [[LittleBitBeastly Humanoid lion people.]]
27	** Swala: A race of [[OurMinotaursAreDifferent Humanoid Anthelopes]] descended from the Emere.
28	* MedievalEuropeanFantasy: Averted, the writers intentionally wanted to subvert this trope by making a setting based on Africa.
29	* MixAndMatchCritters: Several examples:
30	** Grootslang: Elephant Snake
31	** Ngloko: Hyena Bear
32	** Quilled Anthelope: Porcupine Anthelope
33	** Zamble: Anthelope Leopard
34	* TheMothman: The Daa'ima are a race of Moth People.
35	* OutdatedHeroVsImprovedSociety: The fourth era was full of dystopic societies and Ancestors from that era haven't adapted to modern society very well.
36	* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Adze are vampires that can shapeshift into fireflies rather than bats.
37	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Played straight and subverted, two major Ancestor spirit groups are Red and Black, the Black ones are friendly but the Red ones aren't.
38	* WillingChanneler: The local analogue to the Barbarian Class, the Spiritual Warrior uses his barbarian rage by channeling a powerful spirit animal's power.
39	%%zce* WitchDoctor: The local analogue to the Druid Character Class.
40	* WrestlerInAllOfUs: The local Monk analogue is the Ancestral Wrestler class, between him and the Ekpo spirits you could say that [[{{Pun}} the natives are wrestlers.]]
