Basic Trope: Four or more elements from the natural world have mythological creatures in the setting to represent them.

  • Straight: The Fyrea Nation can call on giant fenixes for help.
  • Exaggerated: Every single element of the periodic table in the world of Troperia has his own elemental.
    • Fenixes can be easily found anywhere in Fyrea to the point of being treated as common animals.
  • Downplayed: Elementals do exist, but as non-physical gods or live in another dimesion.
  • Justified: The elementals are just naturally evolved creatures that use the elements to their advantage.
    • They were created by the gods to guard the elements.
  • Inverted:
  • Subverted: The “Fyrean Fenixes” are actually just a highly renowned regiment of the kingdom that rides on normal giant red birds…
  • Double Subverted: But then their leader swoops in riding an actual elemental.
  • Parodied: The elementals, either as sapients or pets, struggle to live alongside humans due to their elemental abilities getting in the way, like burning tables or being too heavy to ride on a bike.
  • Zig Zagged: Many magical creatures are shown to live in Troperia, leaving up whether they’re the elementals or something else entirely.
  • Averted: No elementals exist on the world of Troperia.
