Basic Trope: A monster doesn't want anything to do with a person.
- Straight: Tropezilla tries to eat Bob, only to find he tastes disgusting and spits him back out.
- Exaggerated: Tropezilla tries to eat Bob, only to gag, convulse violently, and spit Bob out, before rushing away to get some water.
- Downplayed: Tropezilla takes a sniff of Bob, and decides not to eat him.
- Justified:
- Bob uses a certain shampoo which Tropezilla is allergic to.
- Tropezilla is a Picky Eater.
- Bob kept fighting Tropezilla even as he was being eaten and hurt Tropezilla's mouth, throat, taste glands and entrails something awful.
- Inverted:
- Tropezilla eats Bob and finds him tasty.
- The thing that Tropezilla hates about Bob is how plain his "taste" is. Tropezilla would be fine after eating him, but it decides to let him go while it gathers something to liven up the meal.
- Bob went way and beyond the call of duty into being a bad meal for Tropezilla, even rip himself out of its stomach. Tropezilla ate him anyway.
- Tropezilla is eaten by Bob (whether Bob is bigger than Tropezilla or that Bob's hunted and killed Tropezilla and had cooked him over the barbie is up for imagination).
- Subverted:
- After eating Bob, Tropezilla seems disgusted and gags, but then swallows him anyway.
- Tropezilla didn't gag, he ruminated… quintuply* and Bob escaped during the last time.
- Double Subverted: Only to throw Bob up shortly after.
- Parodied: Tropezilla turns into a literal, but very rusty cannon when spitting him out. He also says that Bob tasted like a cannonball.
- Zig-Zagged:
- Tropezilla gags after trying to eat Bob, then calms down, then gags again, but calms down again...
- Tropezilla can't eat Bob (because he is not a virgin), but can eat Betty (who blasts his innards with an assault rifle to no avail), Alice (who is using garlic shampoo that does wonders to season her), and Adam (who is the half-human child of EeeGaaa The Murderous — Tropezilla hesitantly goes "oops" when he encounters EeeGaa later even as the memory of how good Adam tasted makes Tropezilla envision his fellow monster as a walking meatloaf).
- Averted: Tropezilla doesn't try to eat Bob.
- Enforced: The executives want Bob to meet Tropezilla, but he can't die because he's the main character.
- Lampshaded: "Guess I taste awful."
- Invoked: Bob uses garlic shampoo and paprika deodorant, knowing it will make Tropezilla gag.
- Exploited:
- Bob uses the garlic shampoo to protect himself, knowing that Tropezilla is allergic.
- The Acme Shampoo company learns that Tropezilla dislikes their garlic shampoo, so they advertise this and make a killing from people wanting to protect themselves.
- Defied:
- After eating Bob, Tropezilla takes an antacid to help him stay down.
- Tropezilla makes damn sure Bob is dead before eating him.
- Tropezilla drenched Bob in anything that will remove the bad taste (water that will wash off the garlic shampoo, potion that takes care of any curses, blood of virgins to get around that little fact that Bob is not a virgin himself, or a lot of spices and ketchup) before eating him.
- Discussed: "Oh, I know that face, Alice! It's already bad enough you nag me about how much you don't like my garlic shampoo, now you're gonna use the fact that it saved me from Tropezilla as ammunition for more insults, right?"
- Conversed: "This is more ammunition to the Running Gag that Bob is a huge loser: even Tropezilla, an unthinking death machine, is completely unable to stand him - not even as a meal."
- Deconstructed: Bob was Tropezilla's chance of getting a meal. Why miss that when food is scarce?
- Reconstructed: Spitting Bob out makes him taste better, so Tropezilla will try to eat him again.
- Played for Laughs:
- Tropezilla sneezed Bob out because he tickled the roof of his mouth.
- Bob scares Tropezilla away by walking right up to it, screaming a Big "SHUT UP!" in his best imitation of Mel Blanc, and slapping it silly.
- Played for Drama: Tropezilla is starving and has to eat Bob, but the bad taste was too much for him to handle.
- Played for Horror:
- Bob has horrifying injuries from Tropezilla's acidic saliva.
- Bob is too nasty for Tropezilla to digest because he is something much, much worse than a stupid Gojira wanna-be and this is what ends up revealing him to the rest of the team, who won't survive to tell the world, if Bob has anything to say about it.
- Implied: Bob met Tropezilla after losing his weapon, but when Alice sees him afterwards, he's only covered in saliva.
You taste horrible! Get back to Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth.
