This series has a [[Hero: 108/Characters|character sheet]]
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: ''A lot'' of characters team up for more power; a notable example would be, after making [[Make My Monster Grow|Yaksha grow]] he turns into a [[Humongous Mecha]] and First Squad combine their powers
** Also Lin Chung's combiner team with the Cheetah King and Queen.
* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: From peas to paintbrushes to tops. Basically, if it's NOT a weapon, it's used as one in this series.
* [[Amazing Technicolor Wildlife]]:
* [[Animal Gender Bender]]: Queen Peacock
* [[Badass Boast]]: "I AM MIGHTY RAY!!! FEAR MY EYEBALLS!!!"
* [[Big Bad]]: High Roller
* [[Bowdlerize]]: High Roller's orignal design had an arrow going through one of his ears and out the other. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ssiILondcU\]
* [[Bullet Seed]]: The Air Force does this with grape seeds.
Line 33:
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: Deer King is skilled with a hammer, but mainly he uses it to get his subjects horns vibrating
* [[Everything's Better with Monkeys]]
* [[Everything's Worse with Bears]]: Bear King seems to be [[The Dragon]].
* [[Far East]]: Where the series takes place.
* [[Fetish Fuel]] / [[Power Perversion Potential]]: Mystique Sonia, so very much.
Line 50:
* [[Fusion Dance]]: One of Woo the Wise's inventions can [[Biological Mashup|merge]] 6 total subjects into a hybrid.
** High Roller can combine with Bear King normally, gaining the ability to use Bear King's body as his own, and it's suprisingly effective, letting him singlehandedly beat the stuffing out of all of First Squad with realitive ease.
* [[Genre Blindness]]: Ape Trully takes it to an art from.
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Mystique Sonia's Yaksha has a tendency of becoming angrily jealous whenever she shows any affection to anyone else.
* [[Hartman Hips]]: Mystique Sonia.
* [[Henchmen Race]]
* [[Huge Rider, Tiny Mount]]: Big Green ride on turtles with tank threads. Parrot King rides a snail for some reason.
Line 70:
* [[Minion with an F In Evil]]: Zebra brothers when it is not the full moon. The only real boost they get with the full moon is some miscellaneous power, though.
* [[Mooks]]
* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]: When the Zebras pretend to become good guys. Mr. Nohands "First Squad and you Zebras...Deploy"
* [[Nice Hat]]: Yaksha
* [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]]: Bet you didn't know Yaksha could become a [[Combining Mecha]] or Mystique Sonia's buns could give the team super strength until the happened, did you?
Line 92:
* [[Transformation Name Announcement]]: I am Mighty Ray! [[Eye Beams|Fear my eyeballs!]]
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: ApeTrully thinks the answer to all problems is asking nicely.
** Asking nicely and [[Crimefighting with Cash|offering piles of gold]].
*** It doesn't hurt to try, but it's never worked onscreen.
*** He used it to buy a ticket to a performance of the Panda and Giraffe King.
Line 100:
* [[The Unintelligible]]: Jumpy Ghostface in the early episodes, and most of the time, Yaksha.
* [[The Woobie]]: Chameleon Queen
* [[The Worm That Walks]]: Many bugs have been shown able to become a larger being by combining.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Sure the Zebra Brothers and High Roller do the most stupid stuff, but the Air Defense Troops of Big Green actually ate the bamboo shoots that Lin Chung was using as ammo, leaving him totally defenseless. In fact, throughout the whole fight they seemed to be incredibly focused on eating the Heroes' ammo.
** High Roller on one occasion is actually winning by a large margin, until he stops to mock his opponent, laugh, ''put on a puppet show'', and then laugh some more. Then he gives up the key to Big Green after winning it to... conquer the moon.
* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: In Peacock Castle, the Zebra brothers fell into a volcano. "Oh, but this is a kids' show, right? they'll crawl back out of it at the end of the episode, right?" No. The episode ended without even hinting that they could have survived. In the next episode they are fine, without even a [[Hand Wave]] to explain their resurrection.
* [[Wardrobe Malfunction]]: a [[Running Gag]] with Woo the Wise.
* [[A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing]]: Ape Trully. Although he looks kind of robotic, he's a monkey wearing his best attempt at a human disguise, because he believes his troops wouldn't take orders from a monkey -[[Fridge Logic|even though Big Green is all about human/animal alliances.]]
** Though since this is based on a Chinese tale, it could be cause of the legend of "The Monkey Who Would be King." Or whatever it was called.
