Basic Trope: A species on the brink of extinction.
- Straight: Jolvas are small, rabbit-like creatures. They have been hunted constantly, and are very rare now.
- Exaggerated: Last of Its Kind
- Downplayed: The Jolvas, while not endangered, are threatened, and don't appear as much as they used to.
- Justified:
- Jolvas generally stay in one place, and are too lazy to reproduce most of the time.
- Their situation is due to excessive hunting.
- Inverted: Jolvas are ridiculously common thanks to not being hunted very often, not having a lot of predators, and being Explosive Breeders.
- Subverted: Due to conservation efforts, Jolvas are brought back from the brink of extinction.
- Double Subverted: Since Jolvas are not endangered anymore, they are hunted again and go back to endangerment.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: Jolvas are a common species like regular rabbits.
- Enforced: The writer is writing about the last days of an extinct species to shame us for letting it get that far.
- Lampshaded: "Poor little jolva... There are only 98 of his kind left."
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied:
- Kill one Jolva, two more take its place.
- Jolvas recreate themselves, similarly to phoenixes.
- A program is created that allows the recovery of the jolva.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Implied: Only a few jolvas are seen at a time, and almost never appear.
