Hit on movement

Whumpee is running away, running to attack, or simply running as one does. The point is: they are on movement, and someone manages to hit them. Normally with a bullet or arrow, and that will make them fall on the ground.

It's one of the many possible scenarios for someone being shot with something.

Natural disaster

Earthquakes, floods, storms, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, you pick.

In real life these are in no way something to be excited about, but in fiction, we may enjoy the whumpee having to deal with it all.

Even if the cause is "unnatural" (such as caused by an evil device), if the effect is the same, still counts.

It's common (in fiction) to be painful at the moment, but without consequence after.

On your knees

Betraying your organization

The whumpee could be part of some sort of "bad" organization (or not) and changes sides, maybe after finding out the group's true colors/motivations. Or because someone reached out to them and convinced them to finally make a stand. Or even, picture this: the whumpee is seen as a traitor, but nobody knows their exact reasons and they refuses to explain anything.

Does not apply to cases of "undercover", and might or might not be related to "you broke my heart".

And of course, spoiler alert.

Check the **complete Tropes index** for more.

Underspine

## Lore

The first Underspines came with Laculathon to Matzlan during the First Joining, crawling down the God-Tree's immense trunk from worlds unknown. A strange amalgam of chiton, flesh, and tree, the Underspines serve, expand, and defend Laculathon's ecosystem. Affectionately referred to as "Nact'ish'u" (Grumpy Little Helpers) by the Aru, these creatures are durable as they are cantankerous, stubbornly digging in to positions and lashing out at any foreign entity that treads too close. These creatures, true to their namesake, exude a powerful cocktail of nutrients and pheromones when burrowed, coaxing the God-Tree's rootway to their position. Among Aru hunting parties, Nact'ish'u are welcomed as a good omen, even if their ungainly scuttling requires some patience. With a great war on the Horizon, Underspines have become a common sight on the frontiers of Root Witch territory.
Nothing to see here

The whumpee who hides an injury, illness or condition, is a whumpee we stand for.

Doesn't matter if for just a short amount of time or if they reveal themselves to be very good at this, or even if the love ones / caretakers find out on their own or not, we are here for all the pain and angst possible.

Oh, all the whump that a kidnapping may bring to the poor whumpee! Being drugged, tortured, restrained, caged, all the fear, "pick one" situation,... It's a true gold mine.

I will protect you!

Whumpee tries at any costs to protect someone (or something), and can be a way to "self-sacrifice", but not necessarily.
