• From Aint No Rule:

Jhalm: "Honoured Burrower. Skulking though the woods I see?" Digger: "Is there a law against it? Jhalm: "Several. But as you are unlikely to be either poaching or soliciting the sale of unnatural acts, I doubt we could make the charges stick."

• Any scene that has Boneclaw Mother in it will be either this trope, or a Crowning Moment of Awesome, or a combination of both.
  • Grim Eyes learns her awesome grandma (or whatever she is) really isn't magic:

Grim Eyes: Okay, he's coming this way. Do the thing! Do the thing! Boneclaw Mother: What thing? Grim Eyes: The thing where you tell people what they're thinking and freak 'em out! Boneclaw Mother: Grim Eyes, I love you, but you don't have the brains the gods gave an eggplant. The thing only works on people you've lived with for years who think their motivations are a lot better hidden than they really are.

• • • It becomes a Crowning Moment of Awesome when she does it anyway after just a short conversation with Jhalm.
• The vampire squash, and the best part is it's a real legend.
  • "It's a squash. I'm being attacked--or possibly romanced--by an angry squash."
• SOUND OF DISTANT ETHEREAL CHANTING! (There is no feasible onomotopeia for this) "Oh, great."
  • Then the ghost's reaction to Digger.
  • Then: SOMEWHAT MORE DISGRUNTLED ETHEREAL CHANTING!
  • BY-NOW-FAMILIAR SOUNDS OF GRUMPY ETHEREAL CHANTING!
• This next one is on a relatively spoiler-free page in the middle of a sea of spoilers. Be warned!

Digger: You want me... to ride... the troll. Surka: Sure! They're quicker'n a greased porpoise in a sea o' snot! Digger: That metaphor did nothing whatsoever to sell me on the idea.

• Also pretty much anything to do with Herne, but especially this.
  • "Excuse me... are you a talking deer?" Oh, Shadowchild, we love you so much..
• Grim-Eyes talking about Shadowchild asking everything they hunt if they can talk, and mentioning that it thought a fish flopping on her line was doing a form of interpretive dance.
• Digger and Shadowchild whispering to each other as they're cornered by the hyenas:

Shadowchild: Now what happens? Digger: Well, I can probably take two, and if you can take one, that only leaves five that will have to suffer simultaneous heart attacks. Shadowchild: Will that happen? Digger: No.

• The hyenas declaring Digger a pervert, Digger's bewilderment at this, and Shadowchild's confusion.

"What's a pervert?" "Tell you later." "Am I a--?" "No!"

• "I'm positively vile! I wallow in my own filth! I'm corrupt and depraved and I smell funny! Dung beetles wouldn't touch me! I am uncleeeean!"
• In the cave, following a ledge along the upper edge of the wall.

Ed: Ed is thinking Ed is being a little scared of heights... Digger: Lucky for you, we're so far underground that you'd have to tunnel a half-mile straight up to get anywhere near a height. Ed: Ed is not being comforted, somehow...

• "Do I have to go beat up Jhalm now? 'Cos I'm gonna need a minute."
  • Also, the reaction on the following panel:

Murai: Honored Digger! Grim Eyes: Earth rat! Boneclaw Mother: Freaky adopted daughter!

• The first time that Murai and Digger see the dead god...

Murai: Honored Digger, my senses are not quite reliable... do you also see a team of lizards hauling on ropes forcing a giant suspended heart to beat? Digger: Yup. Murai: I had hoped it was the madness. This is horrible. Digger: And inefficient! Man, a couple of pulleys in the right places, and they could have halved their labor. Murai: *Death Glare*
