Starfish Language | |
| Humans-B-Gone! (Web Animation) / int_115b9907 | comment |
Starfish Language: Macrovolutes primarily communicate with pheromones instead of sound (And most can't even hear), which Professor Gregorsa describes as a three-dimensional language, so he translates everything for a human audience in a way creatures without the proper receptors or way to release pheromones can understand. When two macrovolutes are "talking", one exudes pheromones, the other smells them, and they have to wait for the smell to dissipate before the other partner can "talk". Professor Gregorsa describes human languages as acting this way from the perspective of macrovolutes, being one-dimensional as opposed to three-dimensional, and makes the point that even if macrovolutes could comprehend human speech, they could only make out single words at best due to their brains lacking the Broca and Wernicke's areas that humans have. | |

Artistic License – Biology: Discussed by Professor Gregorsa, notably in episode 4 where he admits most of the inaccuracies seen so far (Such as Sophodra, a mantis, being able to make expressions with her eyelids, which as an insect she wouldn't have) were deliberate choices on his part to help the human audience understand and relate to the arthropod characters. | |

Ambiguous Situation: Rose tells the old weevil that while there are plenty of other macrovolute tarantulas, she is the only Grammostola rosea, male or female. It's unclear whether she means it in the sense of her simply being the only one in the area, a Single Specimen Species, or if she's the only one left. The old weevil's reaction leans towards one of the latter two. | |

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": Downplayed, in that while macrovolutes commonly refer to vertebrates as "gubs" (and humans in particular as "firegubs"), they do have proper names also. (Though these proper names being the same as our world's could be due to Gregorsa's translation.) | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Humans-B-Gone! (Web Animation) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Sophodra's name is a reference to the genus of praying mantises Sphodromantis. Rose is a Chilean rose hair tarantula, has a flower pattern on her body, sleeps in a bed of flowers, and likes floral scents. Professor Gregorsa is named after Gregor Samsa, the protagonist of The Metamorphosis. "Gub", the macrovolute term for vertebrates, is "bug" backwards, reflecting how they're seen as pests by the giant arthropods. | |

Language Barrier: Discussed in Episode 8, where Professor Gregorsa makes clear that without whatever method he uses to get around it, humans and macrovolutes would not be able to understand each other thanks to their physiological differences: Humans lack the ability to pick up and exude pheromones, while most macrovolutes cannot hear and lack the portions of the brain that allows someone to understand spoken language. Even apart from the lack of common grammar, most macrovolutes have such poor eyesight that even if humans tried communicating with sign language they'd barely be able to perceive something as small to them as a human regardless, let alone whatever particular movements they're making. | |

Mutants | |

Mutants: Demivolutes are nonsapient animals born with mutations that rapidly spread throughout the population until they become distinct from their protocules. Demivolute cows, for instance, are spider-esque ambush predators with only the barest (if unsettling) resemblance to their protocule progenitors. | |

Square-Cube Law | |
| Humans-B-Gone! (Web Animation) / int_d4055b8b | comment |
Square-Cube Law: Named and discussed when Gregorsa mentions that if the special properties of macrovolutes didn't exist (Which is implied to be tied to the Unknown Nature), the gigantic arthropods would be crushed under their own weight. | |

Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit" | |
| Humans-B-Gone! (Web Animation) / int_d5a84e45 | comment |
Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": Downplayed. Various vertebrates such as chickens and penguins look different and have different biology from their Earth counterparts, yet are still referred to by the same name. To complicate things further, "protocule" (what we would consider "normal animals") versions of the "demivolute" (aka mutant) animals still co-exist with each other - and protocules can still have bizarre abilities that would make no sense to us, such as protocule goats being able to manipulate the Unknown Nature to boost the power of their headbutts. | |

Our Dragons Are Different | |
| Humans-B-Gone! (Web Animation) / int_d88e125e | comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: Greater firegubs are demivolute goats that have mutated into a shape very similar to that of a dragon, gaining wings through a mutation that gives them extra horns, and breathing fire through stored methane. Ironically, their need for methane makes them a primary hunter of their own protocule cousins for the methane created by their gut flora. | |

Xenofiction | |
| Humans-B-Gone! (Web Animation) / int_dd8deee1 | comment |
Xenofiction: The macrovolutes and their technology are very inhuman, focused around smell rather than sight or hearing. Gregorsa's translations obscure this somewhat, but he very intentionally points out that he is translating. | |

Translation Convention: The macrovolutes communicate via pheromones, not unlike their real bug counterparts, which Professor Gregorsa translates into English and humanoid body language through an unknown method. | |

Big Creepy-Crawlies | |
| Humans-B-Gone! (Web Animation) / int_eb4086e3 | comment |
Big Creepy-Crawlies: Exaggerated. Macrovolutes are sapient insects and arachnids that are so big that humans are to them what normal bugs are to us. Sophodra in particular is comparable in height to the Statue of Liberty in New York City. | |
