Anyone Can Die: At first it seems like Stielauge has Plot Armor, as he survives lots of troubles against all odds, but then he finally succumbs to his injuries after fighting Kokk. | |

Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag | |
Stielauge Der Urkrebs / int_131ff928 | comment |
Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag: It's repeatedly mentioned that Stielauge has no brain and acts purely on instinct, but all of his actions are told in an antropomorphised way, as if it was more than instinct. He is even seen talking with his love interest and other trilobites talk about him. In chapter seven it is handwaved that Gibberish of Love doesn't need intelligence anyway, so trilobites might as well be able to do it. | |

Stielauge Der Urkrebs / int_144d31b1 | comment |
Most Writers Are Human: The writer wouldn't have to include humans in the devonian age or an epilogue where humans find Stielauge's fossil for the story, so it seems to be due to this trope. | |

The Worf Effect | |
Stielauge Der Urkrebs / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: The adult Stielauge is stated as an apex predator for whom every creature is nothing more than food, but immediately after it is told that even he is small and insignificant compared to God. Cue God creating a great flood in which Stielauge only barely avoids being killed. Later in the book, Stielauge meets various creatures that prey on him. In chapter 14, the ray's power and superiority to all other marine life is described for several pages, only for him to die in The Great Flood | |

Artistic License – Paleontology: Despite Stielauge being called an "Urkrebs", which literally means "primal crab", trilobites are not crustaceans. And then there's the whole humans since the devonian age thing. Also, the first humans being described as blond while blond hair has only evolved much later. This is most likely a case of Humans Are White. | |

Stielauge Der Urkrebs / int_88ebc539 | comment |
Always a Bigger Fish: Stielauge meets various creatures, most of them are bigger than anything he's met before. The biggest is Kokk, the placoderm, and even he is dwarfed by the ray. Even the ray meets his end through the Worf Effect. | |

Stielauge Der Urkrebs / int_d68c925d | comment |
Creator Provincialism: While most of the story takes place all over the world in the devonian age, the epilogue in the modern age takes place in the Eifel, where the author lived. | |

Determinator: Stielauge when he runs towards his new wife in chapter 11. He doesn't even stop to eat. All the animals when they flee from the ice age. They just swim and walk away from the cold, only stopping when they die or reach warmer waters. When he finally dies, it's stated that Stielauge fought until the end, just as he had to fight for his whole life. | |

Atlantis | |
Stielauge Der Urkrebs / int_ee19033d | comment |
Atlantis: Atlantis is a tropical island to the west of Gondwana, Stielauge's birthplace and his destination when he flees from the ice age. Atlantis' existence in this book is based on a hypothesis by Austrian geologist Eduard Suess, who erroneously believed that in the Paleozoic there were two large continents in the Northern Hemisphere: "Atlantis", North America connected to Europe by a peninsula (=Greenland and Iceland); and "Angara-land", eastern Asia, named after the Angara River in Siberia. Angaraland also gets sometimes mentioned in the book, but it doesn't have a mythical counterpart like Atlantis. Another famous sunken continent, Lemuria, is mentioned as being located at the other side of the world. | |

Love Makes You Dumb: Stielauge attacks Krummhorn despite being many times smaller and weaker. Also, this is used to justify why Stielauge and his love interest are able to talk to each other. Gibberish of Love doesn't need intelligence, so brainless trilobites might as well be able to do it. | |

Shown Their Work: Despite some cases of daated science and Artistic License, the writer also shows good knowledge about trilobites. For example, Stielauge has to go through a molt early in the book, and rolls into a ball when threatened, like real trilobites did. It's also noted that crinoids are indeed animals and that their young are not sessile. | |
