Ambiguous Gender | |
| Chicken Little / int_4510b368 | comment |
Ambiguous Gender: Chicken Little can be portrayed as either male or female depending on the version of the story you read. The versions that call her "Henny Penny" naturally tend to use a female pronoun, whilst others are more of a 50-50 split. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Chicken Little / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: The usual ending for the story is that Foxy Loxy kills and eats everyone after tricking them into heading somewhere where he can easily pick them off without alerting the others. | |

Minor Injury Overreaction | |
| Chicken Little / int_570f2124 | comment |
Minor Injury Overreaction: What convinces Chicken Little the sky is falling? Why, an acorn dropping out of its tree and landing on his/her head, of course. Or a pea falling on him/her. Or a leaf landing on his/her tail. | |

Hitchhiker Heroes | |
| Chicken Little / int_6131606c | comment |
Hitchhiker Heroes: Brutally deconstructed as Chicken Little convinces every bird he/she encounters on the way to the king to follow them, resulting in all them getting devoured by Foxy Loxy. | |

Lethally Stupid | |
| Chicken Little / int_8ef5ae81 | comment |
Lethally Stupid: Most depictions of Chicken Little portray him/her as an idiot who gets all of the other fowl eaten by Foxy Loxy by flying into a panic over nothing. | |

Cunning Like a Fox | |
| Chicken Little / int_bf414570 | comment |
Cunning Like a Fox: The way Foxy Loxy ends up eating the protagonists is that he pretends he's going to show them the way to the King, but instead eats them. | |
