Hello everyone, and welcome back to Best of the Trope!

Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up.

In the event of a tie between 4 or more nominations, a tiebreaker poll will be run at a later date to determine a winner.

Posters may also nominate any tropes they wish to see come up during the series. This is optional, and you don't have to do it every day, or at all. Tropes will be randomly selected from the list each day, except for some occasions where I will pick a thematically appropriate trope that may or may not be on the list.

Here's the list of previous tropes, so if you wish to nominate some tropes, check on here that it wasn't previously done. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope

Trope list:
Storming the Castle
Mentor Occupational Hazard
Fat B******
Names to Run Away From Really Fast
BFS
Torch the Franchise and Run

Today's trope is Deathbringer the Adorable. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeathbringerTheAdorable

Here it comes. The Harbinger of Death, the Ultimate Evil, It Which Devours Your Soul, Your Worst Nightmare.

...Or so it's called.

Turns out, the creature in question is just a cute animal, with a scary name but completely harmless. Upon further inquiry, you'll learn that it was named by a child, an idiot, a Trickster or some mix of all three, with smugness or bunny ears as optional extras.


TL,DR: The opposite of yesterday's trope, something with a threatening name turns out to be harmless.

Nominations:
Followers of the Apocalypse (Fallout)
Krull the Warrior King (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days)
The Grand Master of All Things Bad (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon)
