| Scurry (Webcomic) | comment |
Scurry is a webcomic scripted and illustrated by Mac Smith that went online on Sunday 17 January 2016. The story involves a colony of mice who struggle to survive amid the ruins of a desolate suburb. Not helping are feral cats and other hazards. The main protagonist is Wix, a veteran scrounger, aided by the amiable rat Umf and beautiful white mouse Pict (daughter of the colony leader). Well above average as far as visuals are concerned.In 2016, the author ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund print copies of the first volume.Not related to the webcomic Scurry & Cover, which is a different story entirely. | |

The moose Atlas is a genial old fellow who allows Wix to ride on him though he's quite formidable when he needs to be. | |

Artistic License – Biology: When Wix inflicts Eye Scream on Gorgon, he keeps his eye closed even though as a snake he has no eyelids. He also, somehow, has actual teeth. | |

The Glomp | |
| Scurry (Webcomic) / int_1ba34641 | comment |
The Glomp: Umf the rat greets the mice Wix and Pict upon their return to the abandoned house on page 205. What's left of the mouse colony has presumed Wix and Pict had perished in the massed cat attack that had decimated so many others. Umf is understandably overjoyed to see these two alive and intact, so he welcomes them with a hearty glomp that takes them off their feet. | |

Gentle Giant: The rat Umf is almost double the size of Wix, but he's amiable and docile, so the mice accept him as a useful oddity. Like Atlas however, he can aggressive under the right circumstances. The moose Atlas is a genial old fellow who allows Wix to ride on him though he's quite formidable when he needs to be. | |

Humans Through Alien Eyes: The opossum interpreted the humans rioting and the nuclear war as a plague of madness and waging war on the stars themselves. She also describes the subsequent mushroom cloud and fallout to be great wolves of fire and the sky whose packs burned the cities and poisoned the woods. | |

Always Chaotic Evil: The predators start out this way. However, the Witches, a trio of vixens with a mysterious agenda, are very helpful, as is a Mr. Exposition opossum. The Witches save Wix, and go out of their way to help arm and direct Wix to Pict so he can defend her from Gorgon. Then they kill the boss raven before he can warn Erebus. The opossum reveals what happened to the world and the nature of the Guardian. | |

Big Good | |
| Scurry (Webcomic) / int_4a852458 | comment |
Big Good: The mysterious Guardian of the forest a female grizzly bear, whose absence caused by the death of her son prompts Erebus and his pack to move in. The opossum and the Witches seem to know the Guardian personally. As well, Atlas the moose. When Wix asks if the monstrous cervine intended to eat him, he laughs and says there are far better things to eat — then offers him a ride to find Pict. Even Erebus won't mess with him - and one overeager Red Shirt from his pack demonstrates why. | |

You Are Too Late: Pict manages to escape Resher's goons and goes to warn Wix's party that they're being sent into a feline ambush. She arrives to find only Wix and a badly-injured Kessel still alive. In Chapter IX, Wix discovers that Master Orim has secretly been poisoned by Resher and stops Pict from accidentally giving him some more. But by this point, he's already ingested a fatal dose, and he succumbs to the poison regardless. | |

The Caligula | |
| Scurry (Webcomic) / int_52aa0c4a | comment |
The Caligula: The king of the beaver is shown to be insane with ramblings and paranoia about the flood, which isn't helped by the raven who had been manipulating him into building a (weak) dam by playing on his fear. Later it's heavily implied that he was driven mad and blind by witnessing the nuclear detonation. | |

Orphaned Etymology | |

Orphaned Etymology: A few, due to the characters being animals. The witches, for instance, call Wix a knight, and tell him to "slay the dragon" and "rescue the damsel", concepts that are, of course, purely human in origin. | |

Animalistic Abomination | |
| Scurry (Webcomic) / int_5b057eae | comment |
Animalistic Abomination: Most of the predators look like Nightmare Fueled horrors, but Erebus, the mad alpha wolf, embodies this completely. Take a good look at the YMMV page. It's revealed that he was once an ordinary wolf, but survived both a nuclear explosion AND the subsequent fallout. The combination twisted him into the abomination that he became. What Titan becomes after he is killed - a hellcat Spirit Advisor to Wix. | |

The Reveal | |
| Scurry (Webcomic) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: The opossum finally reveals what happened to the world. A nuclear war, described as 'three great wolfpacks'. The nuclear fireballs were 'Fire Wolves' consuming human and animal alike. The second were the 'Sky Wolves' - fallout, which spread death wherever they went and killed the Guardian's son. The final wolfpack was Erebus the Mad Alpha's, Erebus somehow having survived both nuclear fire and radiation poisoning. The Guardian, a grizzly bear, took the death of her son very poorly and disappeared into her den, never to be seen again. The opossum finishes by saying that if the Guardian stays missing, Erebus will bring about the end of the world, just like the ravens said. | |

| Scurry (Webcomic) / int_7ace2582 | comment |
Somewhere, a Mammalogist Is Crying: The wolf pack devours one of their own after they get injured. In reality wolves won't attack or abandon their sick and wounded packmates and will actually care for them till they recover. May be a Justified Trope, as Erebus has Glowing Eyes of Doom / Occult Blue Eyes and is completely out of his gourd. It doesn't explain (yet) why the other wolves go along with it, however, unless out of pure fear or absolute desperation for food. | |

May be a Justified Trope, as Erebus has Glowing Eyes of Doom / Occult Blue Eyes and is completely out of his gourd. It doesn't explain (yet) why the other wolves go along with it, however, unless out of pure fear or absolute desperation for food. | |

Apocalypse How | |
| Scurry (Webcomic) / int_91e894b4 | comment |
Apocalypse How: Class 3a, as humanity has disappeared after a nuclear war, leaving only the remote wildlife still standing. It's not clear if people went mad first, then launched the nukes, or the shock of nuclear doom drove them mad. Either way, planet Earth has become Mouse World, though with more than just cats as the antagonists. | |

Time Abyss: Skoga, relatively speaking, that is. He's described as an ancient snapping turtle. Whilst that would mean he's only around 100 years old, it means he'd be more than 50-100 times as old as any mouse, who lives 2 years at most. Even wolves seldom live past a decade. | |

They also show Cunning Like a Fox when they target and kill the raven leader before he can report the mice's survival to Erebus. The wild mice also qualify. They attack Atlas thinking he's a wolf, putting him in the silly position of having to fight off a pack of mice while trying not to hurt any of them. | |
