When there's multiple things, there's more than one thing. And sometimes, you don't care how much there is of something, just that there's more than one, a.k.a at least two, but possibly more, and that's what these tropes are for.
Some overlap with These Tropes Are Equal, because there needs to be at least two things, to make comparisons.
And while some of these tropes might name specific numbers, Tropes Are Flexible, and the big jump in numbers is from "one" to "two". In Clear, Concise, Witty terms, it's clear and concise enough.
Not to be confused with tropes from the film Multiplicity.
