Line 16:
* [[Papa Wolf]]
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Due to shipwreck
* [[Power -Up Food]]: ''Dunderhonung.'' It only works for him, though; with very few exceptions, anyone else who eats it gets a stomachache that lasts for three days.
* [[Super Strength]]: Temporarily
* [[Technical Pacifist]]: Hitting people is wrong, but throwing them several miles is perfectly OK.
* [[Wide Eyed Idealist]]: The world of ''Bamse'' isn't quite cynical enough for this trope to be played completely straight, but Bamse does have a tendency to think better of people than they really deserve, and has often been manipulated or played for a fool by villains who knew how to exploit his desire to see the best in everyone.
* [[WorldsWorld's Strongest Man]]: Well... bear
----

Line 32:
* [[Cunning Linguist]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[For Science!]]: The reasoning for a good chunk of his inventions. In fact, he directly states on several occasions that he doesn't care overly much avout his ''finished'' inventions -- it's the process of inventing that interests him. (The ones he keeps and uses after they're finished are usually the ones designed to make life more comfortable for him or will help him learn new things; any other invention, no matter how brilliant or revolutionizing, he'll either casually give away or -- if he thinks it's too dangerous -- destroy.)
* [[Heavy Sleeper]]: When Skalman sleeps, he is completely unwakable. [[Holding Back the Phlebotinum|This is used to lower his]] [[Deus Ex Machina|Dexhina-ness]].
* [[Honorary Uncle]]: Not actually named as such, but still fulfills the role for Bamse's and Lille Skutt's children.
Line 56:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Often when Bamse decides to trust or be kind to a villain, Skutt will think he's making a bad decision and/or snark about it.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]
* [[Half -Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: He's completely naked except for the trademark red bow tie.
* [[Heroes Love Dogs]]: He has a pet dog named Lurvas, whom he saved from drowning and has kept ever since.
* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Is often quick to judge people by a first impression, which is usually never a good thing. Subverted occasionally when he turns out to be right.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Or in his case, wolves.

Line 88:
* [[Afraid of Blood]]: In one story, he faints at the sight of it (though it later turned out to be ketchup and not blood at all).
* [[Nice Guy]]: Of all Bamse's children, he's probably the closest to his father in temperament.
* [[Non -Action Guy]]: His sister is the very model of an [[Action Girl]] and his brother a [[Badass Bookworm]], leaving him as this.
* [[True Art Is Angsty]]: Usually, Brum's artwork is pretty cheery, but the trope was invoked in the story where he went through a "dark" period due to a rejection from a girl he liked and was promptly "discovered" as an artist.

Line 96:
----
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: With a heavy accent on the "bookworm."
* [[Blind Without 'Em]]: When he was very young, his parents and siblings thought he was [[The Klutz]] because he kept tripping over things. Turned out he simply had very bad eyesight, and after he got his glasses his clumsy streak lessened considerably.
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Occasionally, but nowhere near Skalman's level.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: All Bamse's children have these, but Teddy's friendship with Skalman is by far the most notable.
Line 115:
* [[Hulk Speak]]: She sometimes uses this and sometimes not.
* [[Imaginary Friend]]: She often visit the anthropomorphic household articles who live in an imaginary land under the kitchen sink.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Blue, with her best friend Mini-Hopp being the red half. Their fur colors are light brown and white, respectively, but their usual clothes are a perfect match.
----

Line 129:
* [[Fearless Fool]]: And, due to his age, far less self-aware about it than Bamse.
* [[Keet]]: Probably the purest example of the trope in the entire series.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Red, to Brumma's blue. He's impulsive and energetic while she's calm and serene. Their favorite clothes are, naturally, red and blue.

Line 171:
Rich capitalist and [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] who will do anything for profit. He's probably the closest thing the comic has to a [[Big Bad]] -- there have been several villains who were both more evil and bigger threats, but they were usually [[One Shot Character|One Shot Characters]] -- and is consistently portrayed as one of the very few characters with little or no hope for redemption.

* [[Cain and Abel]]: He has this dynamic with his brother Slösus (the name is a [[Punny Name|pun]] on the word ''slösa,'' which means "squander"), who is [[Sibling Yin -Yang|kind, generous and constantly broke because he gives away all his money]]. This dynamic was what led to the...
** [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Crossed it at the very beginning of his career, when his more popular and successful brother won a huge amount of money in the lottery. Krösus stole the winning ticket and left a fake one in its place, which resulted not only in Krösus getting the prize money with which he'd start his fortune, but his brother going to jail for forgery and fraud.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Sort of. He is one of the more successful villains is the story, and one of few who acctually succeed with his plans every now and then. Even when his greedy schemes fail or backfire, he's never arrested because there is never enough evidence to incriminate him. His mooks, the fixer-voles, frequently take the fall for him.
