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.
