Minimonsters/Characters

'''Spoilers are unmarked. Read at your own risk.'''

Frank's Gang

 * Badass Crew: They try, anyway.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: They're perfectly pleasant, sweet kids, but never piss them off.
 * Bully Hunter: They try to become this. With Quasim as their main target, however, their attempts always end in utter failure.
 * Fire-Forged Friends: Victor and the rest of the gang following the events of the first album. It's far from an ideal friendship, though.
 * Piruja sort-of counts, since at first was reluctantly accepted and not very close to them due to her Stalker with a Crush tendencies, but has been shown as a close friend in the following albums. It's a mix of this trope and Characterization Marches On.
 * Four Plus Two: The gang starts with the four-member team Frank, Lupo, Gus and Momses. Piruja was reluctantly admitted as The Chick at first, eventually growing to be a full member of the group. Victor joins the gang at the end of the first album, becoming the gang's friend that nobody likes.
 * Interspecies Friendship
 * Nice Guys: All of the members are shown to be nice, kind-hearted and friendly, with Victor being the exception.
 * Odd Friendship: They're all completely different from each other, which makes their closeness quite surprising.
 * Ragtag Bunch of Misfits
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue to Morty's Gang's red.
 * The Team
 * The Leader: Frank, being also The Smart Guy.
 * The Lancer: Lupo.
 * The Big Guy: Momses.
 * The Heart: Gus.
 * The Chick: Piruja.
 * Sixth Ranger: Victor, who is also The Lancer and Sixth Ranger Traitor. In the fifth album, Henrietta and Nieve briefly join the group.
 * Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: While Victor is generally a pain to work with, he has a severe case of Headbutting Heroes with Lupo and Momses.
 * True Companions: They're pretty much portrayed as this. Despite their occasional disputes, they're almost always together. The author even describes them as "inseparable friends".
 * With Friends Like These...: While this trope isn't applied to the gang itself, this is the gang's relationship with Victor due to his godawful personality. Frank finds it difficult to work with him despite being his closest friend, Gus is ambivalent at best, and Lupo and Momses hate his guts, especially the former. The only one who honestly likes him is Piruja.

Victor Von Piro

 * Accidental Kiss: With Piruja in the fourth album. He's not amused.
 * All of the Other Reindeer: If not for Frank pitying him, he would have been victim of this trope. With good reason.
 * Aloof Big Brother: To Gus, as seen in the fifth album.
 * Alpha Bitch: Subverted/Deconstructed. He drives people away due to acting like this trope.
 * Ambiguously Gay
 * Anti-Hero: Type V. Briefly a Type IV Anti-Villain in the fourth album.
 * Bratty Half-Pint
 * The Chew Toy: The sheer amounts of Amusing Injuries he takes are astounding.
 * Cry Cute: He sobs a little in the first album. He's not visible at that moment, though.
 * Cute Little Fangs
 * Deadpan Snarker: To the point of being obnoxious.
 * Dirty Coward: Do not expect any loyalty for this guy, he'll flee the scene to save his own butt.
 * Easily Forgiven: Played with. Frank, Piruja and (possibly) Gus forgive him for his betrayal in the fourth album; but Lupo and Momses certainly don't, especially since he didn't even apologize for it.
 * Expy: He's like a rich, vampiric version of Eddy.
 * Fatal Flaw: Pride. Also Envy and Wrath to a lesser extent.
 * Fish Out of Water: The series is about him dealing his new life in Villa Susto.
 * The Friend Nobody Likes: Due to his awful personality, he's this by default, only staying out of pity and occassional necessity.
 * Fur Against Fang: With Lupo, despite being in the same gang.
 * Grumpy Bear
 * Hair-Trigger Temper: It's very easy to get him on his nerves.
 * Hidden Heart of Gold: Hinted at many times. He shows concern for his family falling victims to the Porcelain Poison, helps the gang in taking down Miss Hit with no ulterior motives, and tries to calm Gus down when he's freaking out in his own way.
 * Inferiority Superiority Complex: Implied.
 * In-Series Nickname: "Von Pijo", an embarrassing one.
 * It's All About Me: His main character trait.
 * Jerkass: He's a rude, self-centered, spoiled vampire who treats pretty much everyone like shit. This is Played for Laughs.
 * Laser-Guided Karma: To say he's a karma magnet would be an Understatement.
 * Lonely Rich Kid: Not as sympathetic as other examples, but he's shown to be quite lonely and doesn't comprehend friendship well (the fact the "friends" he had in Miedópolis had to be paid to play with him speaks volumes of this fact).
 * Narcissist
 * Nervous Wreck
 * No Social Skills: Oh, so much. In addition of being a Jerkass Spoiled Brat, he obviously has serious problems when it comes to relating to others, which predictably makes everyone hate him.
 * Only Sane Man: When Villa Susto's quirks are concerned.
 * Not So Above It All: Being a bonafide Narcissist, he's not much better either.
 * Overly Long Name: His full name is "Victor Von Piro da Oskuritas und Malefic".
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Frank's Blue.
 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Played with. He's physically the Sensitive Guy, but he has a rude, agressive personality that contradicts this trope. This is in contrast to Frank's kind and level-headed Manly Man.
 * Small Name, Big Ego: Subverted in the "small name" part, but otherwise he fits.
 * Spoiled Brat/Royal Brat: No shit.
 * The Starscream: Tries to be this to Frank. Keyword being "tries".
 * Token Evil Teammate: He's the only member of the gang who is a complete Jerkass. He also serves as this to his family.
 * Tsundere: A huge Harsh Type.
 * Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist
 * Vegetarian Vampire: He hates blood, and instead drinks tree sap.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: With Frank by Word of God.

Frank Einstein Jr.

 * The Ace: He's known as this, at least in Gus' eyes. He's more of a Broken Ace, though, given his severe insecurities underneath.
 * Adorkable: To a T, especially when he tries to talk to Henrietta.
 * Annoying Younger Sibling: How his older sister Francesca sees him.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: He's a very nice and friendly person, as long as you don't piss him off.
 * Big Brother Instinct: Has this with his gang, especially his surrogate baby brother Gus.
 * Break the Cutie: In the second album. He does get better, though.
 * Breakout Character
 * Butt Monkey: Noticeably so, especially in the second album.
 * Cute Badass Bookworm
 * Cool Big Bro: To his gang, doubling as a Big Brother Mentor, although he acts more like an Aloof Big Brother with Victor (justifiably so).
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Ditzy Genius: He's very smart, but lacks common sense.
 * Gadgeteer Genius/Bungling Inventor: Wavers between the two depending on the story.
 * Hair of Gold
 * Heroic Self-Deprecation
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Gus.
 * I Just Want to Be Beautiful: The reason he makes The Perfeccionator. He gets most of Villa Susto in danger thanks to it.
 * Inferiority Superiority Complex: He takes pride in his intelligence to cover up his insecurities over his physical appearance. Becomes a plot point in the second album, played both comically and seriously.
 * Insufferable Genius: While he's usually a Nice Guy, he tends to take pride in his intelligence. Deconstructed, since every time he acts like this is to deal with his crippling lack of self-esteem.
 * Morality Chain: Tries to become this to Victor.
 * Mr. Vice Guy
 * Only Sane Man: In the gang at least, although he's also Not So Above It All.
 * Official Couple: With Henrietta, although it's complicated.
 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The Manly to Gus' Sensitive. Played with Victor, see Victor's entry above.
 * Stepford Smiler: Type A. He pretends to be a confident leader for the sake of the gang, but inside he's a depressed and self-deprecating boy due to his body issues. He doubles as a Stepford Snarker when dealing with his family.
 * Team Dad
 * Tender Tears: In the second album, with good reason.
 * Trigger: His "self-confident leader" attitude shatters completely once someone calls him "ugly", becoming a depressed wreck instead.
 * Tsundere: Type B. He's a very nice kid, but stubborn and hot-tempered when pissed.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: With Victor.
 * Wise Beyond Their Years

Piruja

 * Abhorrent Admirer: Victor considers her this.
 * Adorkable
 * All Girls Want Bad Boys: Her interest in Victor.
 * All Witches Have Cats: Her black cat, "Buena Suerte".
 * Curse: Whenever she kisses someone, she transforms into a frog, only going back to normal if the person who kissed her kisses her back. She also has a wart on her face that cannot be removed magically.
 * It turns out this is an Hereditary Curse among the members of her family.
 * Cute Witch: She's a witch, but she's not considered very cute, at least In-Universe.
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Disappeared Dad: Her dad is never seen or mentioned, but probably he's either dead or left her mother, considering her Really Gets Around attitude.
 * The Ditz: She's very absent-minded. That said...
 * Genius Ditz: Her potions can sometimes work, if only for a short time, as shown in "The Perfeccionator" as a Chekhov's Gun. She's also a damn good broomstick (or toilet brush, in her case) pilot, and shows herself to be a talented Pumpkinball player (especially if she's in her frog form).
 * Dogged Nice Girl: To Victor.
 * Fiery Redhead: The only redhead so far to avert this trope, along with another one related to it.
 * Friend to Bugs
 * Friendly Enemy: She's best friends with Guillotine despite each other being in rival gangs.
 * Girl Next Door: She's Victor's neighbor.
 * Hopeless Suitor
 * Hypocritical Humor: She normally scolds her mother for her Stalker with a Crush behavior, while she's a stalker herself. Like Mother, Like Daughter, indeed.
 * To be fair, though, Piruja does have standards about it, while her mother, however... doesn't.
 * Inept Witch: For the most part.
 * Magic Misfire: Her spells and potions usually end up like this. The ones who don't are used as Chekhov's Guns.
 * Morality Pet: She makes Guillotine much more likable with her presence.
 * Redhead in Green/Green Eyed Red Head
 * Romantic Two-Girl Friendship: She seems to form one with Henrietta.
 * Shipper on Deck: She's more than happy to ship her friends together.
 * The Smurfette Principle: The only confirmed member of the gang to be female.
 * Stalker with a Crush: A fairly innocent and sympathetic example, but still.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Girly Girl to Guillotine and Nieve's Tomboys.

Lupo

 * Berserk Button: Messing with his siblings is a huge one for him.
 * Beta Couple: Seems to form one with Nieve.
 * Beware the Quiet Ones: He's pretty calm and laid-back, but it's not a good idea to piss him off.
 * Big Brother Instinct: He's very protective of his siblings. Messing with them is his main Berserk Button.
 * Brilliant but Lazy: Due to his sleepy nature, he's rather slow, but he's quite smart when awake.
 * Brutal Honesty: He's outspoken and snippy to a fault.
 * Cat Smile
 * Deadpan Snarker: Hell yes. Even in a World of Snark, he reigns supreme with his quips and putdowns.
 * Extreme Omnivore: This guy eats anything. And we mean anything.
 * Fire-Forged Friends: He goes from arguing with Nieve to flirting with her at the end of the fifth album.
 * Foil: He's one for Victor. He's a cool-headed werewolf who comes for a poor family, while Victor is a rich, hot-headed vampire. As a result, the two don't get along at all.
 * Fun Personified
 * Heavy Sleeper: So. Much.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Momses. They're almost always together.
 * Innocent Blue Eyes
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Downplayed. He's generally a very sweet, kind and loyal guy, but he's also extremely sarcastic, quite the Troll, and can turn downright hostile towards those he hates.
 * Middle Child Syndrome: He has two older siblings and three younger siblings, and experiences quite a bit of this.
 * Not a Night Monster
 * Our Werewolves Are Different
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue to Momses' Red. Really, he's the Blue Oni to everyone.
 * Sarcastic Devotee: He may not agree with Frank's decisions and snark at everyone and everything, but he's loyal to his family and friends to the very end.
 * Sleepyhead: He's the walking embodiment of this trope, often taken to ridiculous levels.
 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The sensitive to Momses' manly.
 * Ship Tease: With Nieve.
 * Stepford Snarker: Considering his family situation, it's no wonder he snarks so much.
 * Translator Buddy: He serves as this to Momses.
 * Troll: He clearly delights in messing with Victor's head. Since Victor is a Jerkass Spoiled Brat, it's a clear case of Kick the Son of a Bitch.
 * Undying Loyalty: To his loved ones.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Momses III

 * The Ace
 * Bandaged Face: As a mummy, this is expected.
 * Berserk Button: The only times he's shown to get angry is when someone messes with his friends. He would have kicked Victor's ass for his betrayal had Frank not intervened.
 * Black Best Friend: To the Frank's gang, but especially Lupo.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: In the second album, thanks to Miss Hit.
 * Competition Freak
 * Cool Loser: While his friends have some commonly associated "loser" traits, Momses is only considered a loser for associating himself with them. Even taking into account his clumsiness, he's still the "cool dude" of the gang by comparison.
 * Cute Clumsy Guy
 * Does Not Know His Own Strength: He tends to forget his Super Strength, especially when getting in contact with sunlight.
 * Green Eyes
 * Headbutting Heroes: While not as prominent as Lupo, Momses clearly hates Victor just as much. He was willing to kick his ass for betraying the gang, and broke Frank's invention just to see him suffer.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Lupo.
 * Hot-Blooded
 * Intelligible Unintelligible: He speaks in mummy, and few people can understand him. Lupo and Frank usually translate what he says.
 * The Jinx: Not to Buena Suerte's extent, but still. Frank even calls it "the mummy's curse".
 * The Klutz: He's very clumsy. This, combined with his Super Strength, often leads to disaster.
 * Lovable Jock: He's obsessed with sports and competition, but is pretty much a Nice Guy otherwise.
 * Mummy: Well, duh.
 * No Mouth: His mouth is usually hidden behind his bandages.
 * Out of Focus: He's the least focused member of the gang.
 * The Power of the Sun: His already high strength goes Up to Eleven whenever he gets in contact with sunlight.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Lupo's Blue.
 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The manly to Lupo's sensitive.
 * Super Strength: He has this quality, especially with sunlight. Being a very clumsy kid, in addition to forgetting he has this quality, it causes problems more often than not.
 * Surfer Dude: He's usually seen surfing, though seeing him skating is not very rare either.
 * Troll: Not as much as Lupo, but he clearly has fun messing with Victor's head, usually taking advantage of his inability to understand him.

Gus

 * Adorkable: The living embodiment of this trope. He's cute, sweet, geeky, cries easily, and stutters heavily. All of this makes him utterly adorable.
 * Bedsheet Ghost: Literally.
 * Berserk Button: Not quite berserk, but he's understandably outraged when he hears Victor plans to overthrown Frank and become leader of the gang.
 * Big Brother Worship: He's Frank's surrogate baby brother and assistant, and looks up to him (Although whether his admiration is platonic is debatable...)
 * Butt Monkey: Poor guy...
 * Catch Phrase: "Frank, you're a g-genius!"
 * Cowardly Lion
 * The Cutie: Even in a series plagued with cute monsters, he reigns supreme due to his Adorkable behavior.
 * Cute Ghost Guy
 * Expy: Of Casper.
 * Fragile Flower
 * Friend to All Living Things: He adores animals, and likes to call them cute names, as Victor discovered.
 * Hero Worshipper: He's Frank's number one fan.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Frank, although the "heterosexual" label is blurry on his case.
 * Intangible Man: When he doesn't get nervous, at least, and that's a difficult task.
 * Irony: When he was human, he was terrified of monsters. Now as a monster, he absolutely fears humans. This gets lampshaded.
 * Keet: Despite being a Fragile Flower, he's very cheerful and enthusiastic about everything.
 * Kiddie Kid
 * Lovable Coward: So much.
 * Momma's Boy: He's shown to be very close to his mom.
 * Porky Pig Pronunciation: His main character trait.
 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The sensitive to everyone.
 * Shrinking Violet
 * Sweet Tooth: Loves sweets a lot, especially cakes.
 * Technicolor Eyes: Has red eyes, with black eyeballs.
 * Tender Tears
 * Undignified Death: It's revealed that he and his family's cause of death was because of a poisonous car freshener, asphyxiating them. As per the nature of the comic, it's Played for Laughs.

Henrietta

 * Anti-Villain: Type II/IV. It's not her fault she has a crazy evil side trying to take over...
 * Apologetic Attacker: Thanks to Miss Hit.
 * Apologises a Lot: Mostly because of Miss Hit.
 * Berserk Button: Never tell her split personalities are funny. Mienai learned this the hard way. While it was in Victor's nightmare, given her troubles with her Super-Powered Evil Side, this would still be plausible.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: She's a sweet, polite and adorable little girl with a Super-Powered Evil Side that can kick ass in less than a second.
 * Break the Cutie: Having to deal with Miss Hit hasn't done any good towards her. She gets better.
 * Broken Bird: She was introduced as this. Thankfully, this has started to fade and is now more cheerful.
 * Cannot Spit It Out: Her feelings for Frank. With good reason.
 * The Cutie: So much. No wonder Frank falls hard for her.
 * Daddy's Girl
 * Doom Magnet: She describes herself as this to Frank. The worst part? She's half-right in this regard. Poor girl...
 * Fragile Flower
 * Gibberish of Love: Variation. Every time she sees Frank, she vomits in his face due to stress. Frank doesn't care.
 * Ill Girl: To ridiculous levels. She gets better, but not by much.
 * Jekyll and Hyde: The Jekyll to Miss Hit's Hyde.
 * Missing Mom: Her mother is nowhere to be seen.
 * Mood Swinger: Thanks to Miss Hit, and is not happy about it.
 * Nice Girl
 * Official Couple: With Frank, somewhat.
 * Phlebotinum Pills: Carries these due to her Ill Girl status.
 * Romantic Two-Girl Friendship: With Piruja.
 * Single Woman Seeks Good Man: She falls for Frank for being so nice and helpful to her when she needed it most.
 * Team Mom: If she becomes a full member of the Frank's Gang, she would fill this role nicely, especially considering her Love Interest is the leader and Team Dad of the group.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: The girly towards Miss Hit's tomboy.
 * Tsundere: A rare case in that she's the "dere" side, with Miss Hit being the "tsun".
 * Vomit Indiscretion Shot: A Running Gag concerning her, especially with Frank.

Billy Rotten

 * All of the Other Reindeer: He's ostracized due to his smell. He doesn't care that much for this, though, since he doesn't even want to join a particular gang.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: In the second album, he's one of Miss Hit's victims.
 * The Friend Nobody Likes: Played with. He's generally avoided due to being The Pig Pen. That said, how well or badly they treat him depends on the character being either a Nice Guy or a Jerkass respectively.
 * Hates Baths: See The Pig Pen below.
 * I Just Want to Have Friends: Played with. He's interested in becoming friends with Victor, but he doesn't want to join a particular gang, and seems happy in his loneliness.
 * Innocently Insensitive: He's a well-intentioned kid, but is unaware of how much his Pig Pen status can bother people. For example: He keeps showing Henrietta gross things, when she is known for having a very weak stomach.
 * In-Series Nickname: "Junk Boy"
 * Keet
 * Meaningful Name/Ironic Name: His surname, "Rotten", is a combination of both of this tropes.
 * Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold: Once you forget his smell issues, he's one of the nicest and most pleasant guys in the entire comic.
 * Nice Guy
 * No Social Skills
 * The Pig Pen: His main trait. He's always in a bin, and even lives in the town dump. Justified as of the fourth album, since it turns out he gets very sick if he ever bathes.
 * The Pollyanna
 * The Reliable One: In the fourth album, the Frank's Gang treat him like this, since Piruja was nowhere to be seen and needed another member on their team to not get them disqualified. Unfortunately for them, Morty was savvy enough to put him out of comission.

Dayana Von Piro

 * Berserk Button: She doesn't like when someone makes fun of her paintings, even if they are genuinely terrible.
 * Blind Without'Em: It turns out this is the reason why she can't paint properly. Once she gets ones, though, she turns out to be way better than expected.
 * French Jerk: Downplayed. She's snobbish and kinda unpleasant, but is nowhere near as a haughty Jerkass like her cousin Victor.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As stated above, she's much more pleasant and sociable than her cousin while still being arrogant and condescending.
 * Meganekko
 * Morality Pet: Victor treats her slightly better (emphasis on "slightly") than with everyone else. Also, she's the only person Quasim is outright friendly to.
 * Original Character: Was actually a fanmade character, and the author included her.
 * Stylistic Suck: Her drawings. When she's painting without glasses, though.
 * Terrible Artist: Epically subverted.

Nieve

 * Ambiguously Bi: She has a crush on Lupo, yet steals Piruja's panties for no reason.
 * An Ice Person: As a snowwoman, this is expected.
 * Beta Couple: With Lupo.
 * Blinding Bangs
 * Braids of Action
 * Defrosting Ice Queen: Puns aside, she does this as a result of hanging out with Frank's Gang, especially regarding Lupo.
 * Fire-Forged Friends: She and Lupo had a bad start, but start bonding after fighting Flan Hellsing, to the point of having a crush on the other.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's introduced as a thief who epically screws over Lupo, yet she's willing to put that aside to save the town, becoming much kinder.
 * Kleptomaniac Hero
 * Only Sane Woman: It says a lot about the state of Villa Susto she is the voice of reason.
 * Sitcom Arch Nemesis: She starts as this to Lupo, being the only character able to actively piss him off (For the record, not even Victor managed that). That said, see Fire-Forged Friends above.
 * Samus Is a Girl
 * Ship Tease: With Lupo.
 * Sticky Fingers: She's a master thief.
 * Tomboy
 * Took a Level in Kindness
 * Troll

Morty's Gang

 * A House Divided: See below.
 * Evil Counterpart/Foil: To Frank's Gang, obviously, but to specify:
 * Morty is an obvious one for Frank, being both leaders of their respective gangs and having clear influence over them, but that's when the similarities end. Frank may seem weird and at times tough, but he proves to be an effective leader because of his maturity and genuine care for his friends; while Morty is cool on the surface yet his blatant psychopathy and abuse of his underlings makes him inept at leading a gang, and it shows. He's also Victor with his jerkassery and arrogance upgraded to outright sociopathy.
 * Guillotine is one for Piruja in that they're the only girls on their respective gangs, and is quite stylish like Momses.
 * Mienai isn't that evil to begin with, but he can be seen as one for Gus due to their Adorkable, meek personalities and attachments to their band's leaders. However, while Gus' attachment to Frank is out of love and respect; Mienai's attachment consists of him being abused and screwed over by Morty.
 * Skin clearly takes after Lupo, being both gluttonous snarkers. However, Lupo's snark is usually friendly and only turns hostile when the target deserves it; while Skin is just downright nasty towards everyone.
 * Four-Bad Band
 * Big Bad Wannabe: Morty.
 * The Dragon: Guillotine.
 * The Brute: Skin.
 * The Dark Chick: Mienai.
 * Fifth Ranger: Victor in the fourth album. It doesn't last.
 * Gang of Bullies
 * Go-Karting with Bowser: When they're not bullying the Frank's Gang, they're seen hanging around with them, bordering on Friendly Enemy territory.
 * Opposing Sports Team: In the fourth album.
 * The Rival: To the Frank's Gang.
 * Straw Loser: Their status as a pathetic Gang of Bullies serves to make the Frank's Gang awesome by comparison. This is even lampshaded by Victor himself.
 * Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: It's clear from the start these guys do not get along with each other, with Morty treating the other members (save Guillotine) like shit. They're only together to take down the Frank's Gang, and even then, they fail due to each other's differences. This is intentionally done to contrast with Frank's gang of quirky True Companions.
 * We Are Struggling Together
 * With Friends Like These...: How the hell they manage to stay together is a complete mystery.

Morty Vivente

 * Alpha Bastard: To a T, though he isn't nearly as popular as he thinks he is.
 * Ax Crazy: Once his Faux Affably Evil façade wears off.
 * Bad Boss: He treats his underlings (especially Mienai) like shit.
 * Berserk Button: His goons' stupidity.
 * Big Bad Wannabe: While he was previously mentioned, he only filled the role of a direct antagonist in the fourth album, and quickly loses this role in favor of Arrmando el Arraña.
 * Brain Food: To say he's obsessed with brains would be an Understatement.
 * Depraved Bisexual: Of the Ambiguously Bi variety. He's dating Guillotine, but he has an unhealthy obsession with Frank (or more accurately, his brains). To say nothing of his constant hunger glomps to Mienai...
 * Detachment Combat: He can take off his limbs (as he's a zombie), which he usually uses to hit his underlings.
 * Enfante Terrible
 * Evil Fiery Redhead
 * Faux Affably Evil: He can put off a charming, likable appearance, but in the end it's clear he's a sociopath.
 * The Ghost: Until the fourth album.
 * Gratuitous Italian: Often to insult someone, calling them “Stupidos!” or “Imbecilles!”.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Don't let his general (although suave) jerkassery fool you, he's actually an evil and unstable sociopath with zero scruples in getting what he wants. It's telling he makes Victor look like a saint by comparison.
 * Lack of Empathy
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Morality Pet: His girlfriend Guillotine is the only minimonster he treats with respect. He also has his pet worms as this.
 * Non-Human Sidekick: His three pet worms.
 * Rich Bastard/Spoiled Brat: Even worse than Victor, which is really saying something.
 * Smug Snake
 * The Sociopath
 * Token Evil Teammate: Of Mr. Abra's second year class. He's the only classmate to be explicitly evil due to his insane, sociopathic nature (the other classmates being at worst standard jerks).
 * Trigger: Mention the word "brains" around him, and he'll end up chopping heads (Mostly Mienai's).
 * Un Evil Laugh: "Jjj, jjj"
 * Unholy Couple: With Guillotine.

Guillotine

 * A Lighter Shade of Black: She's a bitch towards Frank's Gang, yet she isn't nearly the sociopath Morty is.
 * All Girls Want Bad Boys: She's Morty's girlfriend.
 * Anti-Villain: See Noble Demon.
 * Cool Big Sis: She acts this way towards Piruja and, to a lesser extent, Henrietta.
 * Even Bitchy Goths Have Loved Ones: She genuinely loves her boyfriend Morty, and cares a lot about her friends.
 * The Fashionista: She's obsessed with fashion, and is very talented at making outfits.
 * Friendly Enemy: With Piruja.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She can be kind whenever she wants to, mostly around her friends.
 * Lovable Alpha Bitch
 * Losing Your Head: Her main ability, and the butt of many jokes (some of them even made by herself).
 * The Matchmaker: Tries to hook up Piruja with Victor, often using questionable methods.
 * Noble Demon: True, she's quite bitchy, but is much more noble and saner that her boyfriend Morty, showing a kind and helpful side to her closest friends.
 * Perky Goth
 * Pet the Dog: Her treatment towards Piruja and Henrietta.
 * Raven Hair, Ivory Skin
 * The Smurfette Principle: Much like Piruja, she's the only female member of the Morty's Gang.
 * The Snark Knight
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: The tomboy to Piruja and Henrietta's girly girls.
 * Unholy Couple: With Morty.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: With Piruja. She can laugh at her sometimes, but is a good friend to her otherwise.

Mienai

 * Adorkable: Shows shades of this, such as when he awkwardly begs Lupo to help him find his sister.
 * Ain't Too Proud to Beg: He has no problem asking one of his rivals for help.
 * Anti-Villain: Type IV. Also could count as a Type II, considering the loads of shit he takes from the other members.
 * Big Brother Instinct: He's very caring towards his little sister, even asking one of his rivals for help to find her.
 * Bumbling Sidekick
 * Butt Monkey: He's pretty much Morty's punching bag. The other members like to pick on him too.
 * Cool Shades
 * Extreme Doormat
 * The Friend Nobody Likes: To Morty's Gang. A rare case in that he's the least awful of the group.
 * Gasshole: Due to his invisible potion.
 * Incredibly Lame Pun: Fond of making these, much to the gang's frustration.
 * Invisible Jerkass: Downplayed in the "Jerkass" part.
 * Jerkass Facade: Once you get him out of Morty's Gang's influence, he shows himself to be a decent fellow.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He may bully the main cast, yet he's undoubtedly the nicest guy in Morty's gang. Also see Jerkass Facade.
 * Minion with an F In Evil
 * Poke the Poodle
 * Punch Clock Villain
 * Those Two Bad Guys: With Skin.
 * Token Good Teammate: He's not "good" per se, but is by far the most sympathetic member of the gang, being the only member who doesn't do anything malicious on his own (he's instead a follower).
 * Toxic Friend Influence: He's a pretty nice fellow when left on his own, but being in the company of his "friends" fuels his Jerkass tendencies.
 * Ungrateful Bastard: Averted. When his sister is found, he thanks Lupo without hesitation.

Skin Hate

 * Abusive Parents: His mother is shown to be this, although his Jerkass attitude does not help matters.
 * Anti-Villain: Type IV. Not as sympathetic as Mienai, though.
 * Big Eater: Only surpassed by Lupo.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: In the second album.
 * Butt Monkey
 * Dem Bones: He's a living skeleton. Which is why Lupo wants to eat him.
 * Dumb Muscle: He's definitely The Brute in the group, yet so unbelievably stupid he makes Mienai look smarter. Justified, as he doesn't have a brain.
 * Extreme Omnivore: Holy shit, yes. A Running Gag is the characters wondering why he's so... well... skinny, judging by how much he eats.
 * Eyeless Face
 * Hair-Trigger Temper
 * Hot-Blooded
 * Irony: He's a skinny skeleton who eats a lot. This is frequently lampshaded and Played for Laughs.
 * Jerkass
 * Minion with an F In Evil: Not nearly as sympathetic as Mienai, but still counts due to sheer incompetence.
 * Oxymoronic Being: This skeleton constantly defies logic, and the others waste no time lampshading it.
 * Perpetual Frowner
 * Those Two Bad Guys: With Mienai.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: In the fourth album, he shows himself to be fond of pumpkins.
 * The Unfavourite: Non-related example. His mother treats him like crap, while she swoons over Gus.

Rattus Sapiens

 * Affably Evil: He's pretty friendly and polite for a villain (at first, anyway).
 * Bad Boss: He treats his fellow rat minions like crap. After being Brought Down to Normal, one of them clearly intends to get back at him.
 * Big Bad Ensemble: With Quasim in the first album.
 * Brought Down to Normal
 * Card-Carrying Villain: Literally.
 * Ditzy Genius: He prides himself as an Evil Genius, but he's constantly foiled due to him being easily distracted. This ends up being his Fatal Flaw.
 * Evil Counterpart: To Frank. Both are polite geniuses who lack common sense, but while Frank uses his inventions for good, Rattus wants to use them for evil.
 * Evil Genius
 * I Ate What?: Has this reaction after realizing the things he ate that gave him his intellect were the informatic suppositories of the school’s warehouse. He ate even the used ones. Just... ugh.
 * Large Ham: Hell yes.
 * Take Over the World: As a certified Card-Carrying Villain, this is pretty much mandatory.
 * Wicked Cultured
 * You Dirty Rat

Quasim

 * 0% Approval Rating: Absolutely nobody likes this douchebag, and with good reason.
 * Berserk Button: He's always pissed off, but perceived insults to his hump is a good way to get a vicious beatdown.
 * Beware the Silly Ones: He's a very stupid individual, but also incredibly strong, and is the most fearsome bully in Villa Susto.
 * Big Bad Ensemble: With Rattus Sapiens in the first album.
 * The Brute
 * Dumb Muscle
 * The Dreaded: All minimonsters are deathly afraid of this guy, and with good reason.
 * Hair-Trigger Temper
 * Hate Sink: Given the antagonists are Love to Hate types, he pretty much serves as a target for the reader's wrath.
 * Jerkass
 * Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: In his introductory scene, he helps Victor to pick up the books he himself threw... and later breaks them.
 * Karma Houdini: Unlike other jerks/villains, he usually evades punishment for his behavior.
 * Karma Houdini Warranty: However, there are times he will get some comeuppance (both on and offscreen).
 * Out of Focus: In the third and fourth albums. He returns to prominence in the fifth.
 * Pet the Dog: He's surprisingly friendly with Dayana when she makes him a drawing, and one story shows him socializing (more or less) with Momses.
 * Redheaded Bully
 * Super Strength
 * Swirlie: His main bullying tactic. He even dishes it to the teachers.
 * Third Person Person
 * Would Hit a Girl: He has no problem giving a Swirlie to Piruja and punching Miss Hit in the head. While he gets away with the former, he gets his ass handed by the latter.
 * Would Hurt a Child: Hell yes!!! Especially the youngest ones, like Gus and Lupo's little siblings.

Miss Hit

 * Action Girl
 * Alas, Poor Villain: See Villainous BSOD.
 * Ambition Is Evil
 * Ax Crazy
 * Badass: You bet.
 * Berserk Button: Calling her "little" or "weak".
 * Big Bad: Of the second album.
 * Break the Haughty: At the end of the second album.
 * Broken Bird
 * Damsel in Distress: In the fifth album by proxy.
 * Dark-Skinned Redhead
 * Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male): Zigzagged. While her punching Frank is Played for Laughs, at no point this is seen as admirable or justifiable, as Miss Hit is clearly a psychopath. The only reason Frank lets this slide is because of her good side Henrietta, and both are terrified of her.
 * Evil Fiery Redhead
 * Inferiority Superiority Complex: She constantly demeans Henrietta as a "weakling", considering herself the "superior" personality and usurping her, but when she's forced to confront the fact Henrietta is her true self even with the effects of the Perfeccionator, she has a Villainous BSOD.
 * Jekyll and Hyde: The Hyde to Henrietta's Jekyll, obviously enough.
 * Jerkass
 * Knight of Cerebus: While not exempt of comedic quirks, "El Perfeccionator" has a more serious plotline due to her putting both Frank and Henrietta through the ringer. After her Villain Decay, however, she fully subverts this.
 * Social Darwinist
 * Super-Powered Evil Side: To Henrietta. Deconstructed, since she's just as unhappy as Henrietta about their situation, if not more.
 * Super Strength
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: The tomboy to Henrietta's girly girl.
 * Took a Level in Kindness: Not "kindness" per se, but she seems to have started to see the Frank's Gang as her friends, even sharing Henrietta's crush on Frank.
 * Tragic Villain
 * Tsundere: The "tsun" to Henrietta's "dere".
 * Villain Decay: After the second album.
 * Villainous Breakdown: After Frank gets the last laugh over her, she has a vicious Freak Out. This is followed later by a Villainous BSOD.
 * Villainous BSOD: Has one when she looks at the truth mirror and realizes that, even with the Perfeccionator, her true self is still Henrietta.

Arrmando el Arraña

 * Dragon Ascendant: He starts off as Morty's partner-in-crime to sabotage the rival team, but after Morty's team loses the match, he quickly becomes the Big Bad.
 * Bait the Dog: Double-subverted. At first, he tries to eat Piruja and her mother (by Morty's orders). Then, he becomes a couple with Piruja's mother not long after (which rightfully horrors Piruja). However, he quickly drops it and tries to eat all Minimonsters at the match while attacking everyone, even Piruja's mother.
 * Eviler Than Thou: He turns out to be much more dangerous than Morty.
 * I'm a Minimonsterarian
 * Karmic Death: He's been obsessed with eating minimonsters, only to end up being eaten by the minimonsters he tried to eat.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Jerk
 * Love Redeems: He ends up falling for Piruja's mother. It doesn't last long.
 * Not-So-Harmless Villain
 * Obviously Evil
 * Spiders Are Scary
 * The Starscream
 * Trrrilling Rrrs: He speaks like this.
 * Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Sure, he's Laughably Evil and Minimonsters isn't that light to begin with, but the fact that a predatory spider becomes the antagonist in an otherwise straightforward Sports Story more than qualifies him for this category.
 * Walking Spoiler: It's hard to talk about him without spoilering several events in the fourth album.

Flan Helsing

 * Anti-Villain: He tries to be a dangerous monster hunter, but absolutely sucks at it.
 * Bad Boss: He treats his horse Caballa like shit, which leads to said horse to strike back.
 * Beard of Evil: Although the "evil" part is debatable.
 * Catchphrase: "[noun], [noun] and more [noun]!"
 * Cool Guns
 * The Ditz
 * Even Evil Has Loved Ones: "Evil" is a strong word, yet for all his abuse, he does genuinely care about Caballa.
 * Expy: He's the Minimonsters response to The Animal Collector.
 * Harmless Villain: To the point his friggin' horse has to do all the work for him.
 * The Hunter
 * Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: So much so, he makes Doofenshmirtz look like The Joker.
 * Inferiority Superiority Complex: He talks a lot about how awesome of a monster hunter he is, but it's painfully clear he does this to cover the fact he can't hunt anything besides squirrels.
 * Jaded Washout
 * Jerkass
 * Knight of Cerebus: Subverted. From the monsters' perspective, he's shown to be this, since he's a monster-hunting human who has been allowed to reach the breach between human and monster worlds. From the readers' perspective, though, he's anything but this.
 * Not-So-Harmless Villain: Once hit with the Confusion Gem, he becomes a Yeti and proves himself to be a match for the heroes, even managing to knock out Miss Hit. Unfortunately for him, his lack of intelligence renders him down to Harmless Villain status.
 * Small Name, Big Ego: Hell yes.
 * Tears of Joy: When Victor proves that monsters are indeed real.
 * Token Human

Mr. Abra

 * Adults Are Useless: He's by far the only adult who tries to avert this trope, with varying results.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: He does try to stand up to Quasim in the second album. Unfortunately, he's an Inept Mage, so it doesn't work.
 * Butt Monkey
 * Chekhov's Gun: His hat turns out to be this. Thanks to it, the giant bunny got out and was able to knock out Arrmando el Arraña and save the other minimonsters from its crutches in the fourth album.
 * Cool Teacher: At least according to Gus.
 * Hat of Power
 * Inept Mage
 * Nice Guy: A very respectful man who cares a lot about his students.
 * Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Despite his good intentions, his incompetence with magic causes his spells to do more harm than good. His solutions range between being accidental, weird, or make things worse. Mostly the latter.
 * Only Sane Man: While he isn't very competent and gets very little respect, he's by far the only adult figure to actually try to act rational and reasonable in a town where Adults Are Useless.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: He tries. He really, really tries.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Literally the Blue to Robert Louis' Red.

Mr. Robert Louis

 * Ambiguously Bi: Despite having a daughter, he has a lot of campy mannerisms: He dresses in pink, has feminine manners and interests, and talks in diminutives like Ned Flanders.
 * Berserk Button: Never, ever, cheat in front of him. Morty's Gang learned this the haaaaaaaaaaard way.
 * He also doesn't like being interrupted, as Gus found out.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Just like his daughter.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: In the second album, by his daughter's Super Powered Evil Side.
 * Hair-Trigger Temper: His Super-Powered Evil Side.
 * Jerkass: Again, his Super-Powered Evil Side.
 * Like Father, Like Daughter: Down to the Split Personality thing.
 * Mood Swinger
 * Nice Guy: When not dealing with personality issues, he's very sweet and friendly.
 * Obnoxious In-Laws: Not him, but his Super-Powered Evil Side towards Frank.
 * Overprotective Dad: Due to his daughter being an Ill Girl. Frank learns this often (although his normal self likes him).
 * Papa Wolf
 * Real Men Wear Pink
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Abra's Blue. Literally with his Super-Powered Evil Side.
 * Super-Powered Evil Side: It runs in the family. Unlike his daughter, however, this is strictly Played for Laughs.
 * Tranquil Fury: After Morty's Gang try to cheat, he acts incredibly calm before switching to his evil side and giving them their just desserts.
 * Would Hurt a Child: Normally, no. His evil side? Yes.

The Von Piros

 * All Take and No Give: Their relationship with Victor.
 * Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Especially Victor's grandmother.
 * Bumbling Dad: Mr. Von Piro.
 * Extreme Doormat: Victor's parents, being the reason why Victor can manipulate them to do what he wants.
 * Good Parents: They may be embarrassing and spoil Victor too much, but it's clear they love their son and do care for him despite his awful attitude.
 * Grandparental Obliviousness: Victor's grandmother, who also averts the faceless adult rule.
 * Happily Married: Mr. and Ms. Von Piro.
 * Innocently Insensitive: Their attempts at fitting in and their privileged status can lead to a potentially insulting attitude, but they're never malicious about it.
 * Man Child: Victor's grandma.
 * Not So Different: From the Einsteins. Their embarrassing natures is one of the few things Victor and Frank have in common.
 * Pink Means Feminine: Ms. Von Piro.
 * Quirky Household
 * Pushover Parents: Which pretty succintly explains Victor's attitude.
 * Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense
 * Spoiled Sweet: They're pretty friendly for a rich family, so far averting the Rich Bitch trope. Too bad this didn't carry out with Victor.
 * Vegetarian Vampires: With the exception of Victor's grandmother.
 * The Von Trope Family

The Einsteins

 * Aloof Big Sister: Francesca, to Frank.
 * Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Which pisses off Frank to no end. Of course, deep down, he does love his family very much.
 * Bratty Teenage Daughter: Francesca, although justified considering how weird her family is.
 * Bumbling Dad: Frank Einstein Sr., who is also a worse Bungling Inventor than his son.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Francesca.
 * Happily Married: Mr. ans Ms. Einstein.
 * Inferiority Superiority Complex: Frank Einstein Sr. For someone who prides himself as the greatest mind in Villa Susto, he's obsessed with getting everyone (especially his son's) approval.
 * Like Father, Like Son: Frank Einstein Sr. and his son really have very much in common.
 * My Beloved Smother: Ms. Einstein.
 * Not So Different: From the Von Piros. Their embarrassing natures is one of the few things Victor and Frank have in common.
 * Only Sane Woman: Francesca is by far the only normal member of the family, which explains why she's always so irritated.
 * Parental Favoritism: The Einsteins show some of this towards their youngest son Frank rather than their elder daughter Francesca. Frank doesn't appreciate it at all.
 * Quirky Household
 * Sibling Rivalry: Frank and his older sister Francesca are a classic example of this.
 * "Well Done, Son" Guy: Inverted with Frank Einstein Sr., who yearns for his son's approval. He goes so far as recording his praise on his mobile phone (as part of a deal) in the second album.

Piruja's mother

 * Alcoholic Parent: See Lady Drunk below.
 * All Love Is Unrequited: No matter whom she tries to court, it always results in this.
 * Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Not nearly as much as Victor's or Frank's, but Piruja is clearly annoyed at her courting tendencies.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: See Mama Bear.
 * Broken Bird: Frequently implied.
 * Drowning My Sorrows: Implied to be the reason why she drinks so much.
 * Extreme Omnisexual: Dear God. Her obsession with finding a guy goes as far as trying to marry a friggin' spider. Who previously tried to kill her.
 * Glamorous Single Mother
 * Good Parents: Piruja's mom, for all her faults, is a caring and loving mother to Piruja, and is definitely less dysfunctional than the Von Piros and the Einsteins.
 * Lady Drunk: Implied in one story, when she suggests to her kid daughter to drown her sorrows in wine.
 * Like Mother, Like Daughter: Piruja definitely inherited her looks and stalking tendencies. Unlike Piruja, she takes her man obsession Up to Eleven.
 * Mama Bear: Mess with her daughter, and she'll unleash hell upon you. Even if you are her scary-as-hell spider boyfriend.
 * Really Gets Around
 * Redhead in Green
 * Serial Romeo: Gender-flipped example.

Lupo's siblings

 * Alliterative Family: All siblings start their names with "Lu", save for Segismundo (granted, he's nicknamed "Lupa" to keep with the family tradition).
 * Aloof Big Brother Bully: According to Lupo, Lupus is a mild version of this.
 * Big Brother Instinct: That said, Lupus seems concerned for his siblings' well-being.
 * Annoying Younger Siblings: Lupo's little brothers have shades of this, although they turn out to be more responsible than expected once Lupo falls asleep, as usual.
 * Big Brother Worship: Lupe, Lupín and Segismundo towards Lupo, as long as he doesn't fall asleep.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: Lupus in the second album.
 * Bratty Teenage Daughter: Lu. The fact she's best friends with fellow BTD Francesca confirms this.
 * The Cutie: The triplets.
 * The Ghost: Their parents. Justified, since they're busy working.
 * Innocent Blue Eyes
 * Massive Numbered Siblings
 * Ridiculously Cute Critters: Again, the triplets.
 * Sibling Rivalry: Between Lupín and Segismundo. Also implied between Lupo and his older brother Lupus.
 * Wise Beyond Their Years: Justified. The triplets had to become self-reliant due to their parents and older siblings' endless working, as well as Lupo's narcolepsy.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Dr. Momses II

 * Adults Are Useless: Very much averted, to the point he could be considered the only normal, competent adult shown in the series.
 * Good Parents: Despite their huge differences, he and his son have a very good relationship.
 * Intelligible Unintelligible: He was introduced as this. Unlike his son, he can switch to normal language to communicate with other monsters.
 * Like Father, Like Son: Averted. He and his son are almost complete opposites, what with him being a meek, down-to-earth medic to his Hot-Blooded, risk-seeking son.
 * The Medic
 * Only Sane Man: The only adult that shows signs of competence and common sense.

Chopped

 * A Dog Ate My Homework: Literally.
 * Big Friendly Dog: Not as big as other examples, but is definitely friendly.
 * Cool Pet: Despite Victor thinking he's pathetic, the rest of Frank's Gang adore him and like to play with him.
 * Cuddle Bug
 * The Ditz
 * Kick the Dog: Victor does this literally to him in the latest storyline, although it's more "punching him in the head". Laser-Guided Karma hits immediately and becomes a dog too.
 * Loyal Animal Companion
 * Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Him swallowing one of the Confusion Gems is the cause of the fifth album's conflict.

Buena Suerte

 * Cats Are Magic
 * Cats Are Mean: Only to Victor, and this is understandable.
 * Ironic Name: "Buena Suerte" is spanish for "good luck". The irony is lampshaded by Frank.
 * The Jinx
 * Loyal Animal Companion: Piruja's.
 * Troll: While his collateral damage is usually unintentional, he delights in putting Victor through the wringer.
 * Walking Disaster Area: Boy howdy. He causes chaos and maythem whenever he passes by. The only thing to stop his bad luck is being inside Lupo's stomach.

Caca ("Poo") Einstein

 * A Poo Named "Poo"
 * Be Careful What You Wish For: Frank wanted to have a loyal mascot like his friends Victor and Piruja. He got his wish for sure, just not the "companion" he had in mind.
 * Cuddle Bug: Very much so, much to Frank's chagrin (since he's a living poo).
 * Not So Different: From Chopped. They're very affectionate towards their owners, and they show reluctance to reciprocate their affection (In his case, it's justified for being a literal poo).
 * Loyal Companion: To Frank.
 * Original Character
 * The Pig Pen: It's a living poo, what do you expect?
 * Talking Poo: More like "Living Poo", but still counts.

Caballa

 * Berserk Button: She doesn't take it well when Flan Helsing takes credit of her accomplishments.
 * Cool Horse
 * The Dog Bites Back: Especially at the end, when she takes advantage of Flan Helsing's amnesia to treat him as her pet.
 * Hypercompetent Sidekick: He does all her owner's work.
 * Morality Chain: Somewhat. She's Flan Helsing's voice of reason.
 * Silent Snarker: Uses banners to communicate.
