== The Frank's Gang ==
Line 20 ⟶ 22:
** [[The Heart]]: Gus.
** [[The Chick]]: Piruja.
** [[Sixth Ranger]]: Victor, who is also [[The Lancer]] and [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]]. AlsoIn the fifth album, Henrietta occassionallyand Nieve briefly join the group.
* [[True Companions]]: They're pretty much portrayed as this. Despite their occasional disputes, they're almost always together, and the original artwork confirms them as such.
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: While this trope isn't applied to the gang itself, this is the gang's relationship with [[The Friend Nobody Likes|Victor]], since he acts like a dick towards everyone in the group. As such, only [[Dogged Nice Girl|Piruja]] likes him.
Line 26 ⟶ 28:
=== Victor Von Piro ===
 
* [[Accidental Kiss]]: {{spoiler|With [[Stalker with a Crush|Piruja]] in the fourth album. [[Squick|He's not amused]].}}
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: If not for Frank feeling pity for him, he would have been victim of this trope. [[Jerkass|With]] [[Spoiled Brat|good]] [[No Social Skills|reason]].
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Subverted/Deconstructed. He drives people away due to acting like this trope.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type V. {{spoiler|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]]: {{spoiler|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.
Line 126 ⟶ 128:
* [[Redhead in Green]]/[[Green Eyed Red Head]]
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: She seems to form one with [[Rose-Haired Girl|Henrietta]].
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: She's more than happy to ship Lupo and Nieve 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.
Line 133 ⟶ 136:
 
* [[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]].
Line 140 ⟶ 144:
* [[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]]: TheHe fifthgoes albumfrom consist on him becoming thisarguing with [[An Ice Person|YokaiNieve]] 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, [[Headbutting Heroes|the two don't get along at all]].
* [[Fun Personified]]
Line 154 ⟶ 158:
* '''[[Sleepyhead]]''': He's the walking embodiment of this trope, often taken to [[Up to Eleven|ridiculous levels]].
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: The sensitive to Momses' manly.
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Nieve.
* [[Stepford Snarker]]: Implied, considering his family situation.
* [[Translator Buddy]]: He serves as this to Momses.
Line 166 ⟶ 171:
* [[Berserk Button]]: The only times he's shown to get angry is when someone messes with his friends and Lupo's [[Sleepyhead]] behavior taken too far from him.
* [[Black Best Friend]]: To the Frank's gang, but especially [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Lupo]].
* {{spoiler|[[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 in comparison.
Line 213 ⟶ 218:
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]: Has red eyes, with black eyeballs.
* [[Tender Tears]]
* [[Undignified Death]]: It's revealed that {{spoiler|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]]. {{spoiler|It's dubious if this happened in the real world, though.}}
 
== Other Minimonsters ==
Line 221 ⟶ 226:
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Type II/IV. It's not her fault she has a crazy evil side trying to take over...
* [[Apologises a Lot]]: Mostly because of [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Miss Hit]].
* [[Berserk Button]]: Never tell her [[Split Personality|split personalities]] are funny. Mienai learned this the ''hard'' way. {{spoiler|While it was part of Victor's nightmare, given her troubles with her [[Super-Powered Evil Side]], this would still be plausible in the real world.}}
* [[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 [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Miss Hit]] hasn't done any good towards her. She gets better.
Line 245 ⟶ 250:
* [[Team Mom]]: If she becomes a full member of the Frank's Gang, she would fill this role nicely.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The girly towards [[Super-Powered Evil Side|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 [[Love Interest|Frank]].
 
Line 250 ⟶ 256:
 
* [[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.
* {{spoiler|[[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.
Line 260 ⟶ 266:
* [[Nice Guy]]
* [[No Social Skills]]
* [[The Pig Pen]]: His main trait. He's always in a bin, and even lives in the town dump. {{spoiler|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. {{spoiler|Unfortunately for them, Morty was [[Genre Savvy|savvy]] enough to put him out of comission.}}
 
=== Dayana Von Piro ===
 
* {{spoiler|[[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.
* {{spoiler|[[Meganekko]]}}
* [[Original Character]]: Was actually a fanmade character, and the author included her.
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: Her drawings. {{spoiler|When she's painting without glasses, though.}}
* [[Terrible Artist]]: {{spoiler|Epically subverted.}}
 
=== YokaiNieve ===
 
* [[An Ice Person]]: As a snowwoman, this is expected.
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: Due to their androgynous appearance.
* [[AnBeta Ice PersonCouple]]: As a snowman, this isWith expectedLupo.
* [[Blinding Bangs]]
* [[Braids of Action]]
* [[Fire-Forged Friends]]: TheShe fifthand album'sLupo premisehad isa theybad becomingstart, thisbut withstart Lupobonding toafter fightfighting 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.
* [[Jerkass]]: Their introduction shows them as a trollish thief, going as far as [[Sticky Fingers|stealing]] [[Kick the Dog|a little girl's doll]].
** [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: That said, they also save both Piruja and Henrietta from Flan Hellsing's clutches.
* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman]]: It says a lot about the state of Villa Susto [[Sticky Fingers|she]] is the voice of reason.
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: They'reShe shapingstarts to beas this forto [[Sleepyhead|Lupo]], being the only character able to actively [[OOC Is Serious Business|piss him off]] (For the record, not even ''[[Spoiled Brat|Victor]]'' managed that). That said, see [[Fire-Forged Friends]] above.
* [[Sticky Fingers]]: They're a master thief.▼
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Lupo.
▲* [[Sticky Fingers]]: TheyShe'res a master thief.

* [[Troll]]
 
Line 295 ⟶ 304:
** [[The Brute]]: Skin.
** [[The Dark Chick]]: Mienai.
** [[Sixth Ranger|Fifth Ranger]]: Victor in the fourth album. {{spoiler|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.
Line 382 ⟶ 391:
* [[Big Eater]]: Only surpassed by Lupo.
* [[Black Eyes of Evil|Black Eyes of Jerkassery]]
* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: In the second album.}}
* [[Dem Bones]]: He's a living skeleton. Which is why [[Big Eater|Lupo]] wants to eat him.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: He's a jerkier (and stupider) version of Lupo.
Line 402 ⟶ 411:
* [[Bad Boss]]: He treats his fellow rat minions like crap. {{spoiler|After being [[Brought Down to Normal]], one of them clearly intends to [[The Dog Bites Back|get back at him]].}}
* [[Big Bad Ensemble]]: With [[The Bully|Quasim]] in the first album.
* {{spoiler|[[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. {{spoiler|This ends up being his [[Fatal Flaw]].}}
Line 444 ⟶ 453:
* [[Badass]]: You bet.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Calling her "little" or "weak".
* [[VillainBreak Decaythe Haughty]]: {{spoiler|AfterAt the end of the second album.}}▼
* [[Big Bad]]: Of the second album.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: In the fifth album [[Super Powered Evil Side|by proxy]].
Line 449 ⟶ 459:
* [[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 Redhead|Evil]] [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Inferiority Superiority Complex]]: She constantly demeans [[Jekyll and Hyde|Henrietta]] as a "weakling", considering herself the "superior" personality and [[Split Personality Takeover|usurping]] her, {{spoiler|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. {{spoiler|After her [[Villain Decay]], however, she subverts the trope and becomes completely comedic.}}
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Henrietta's. So obvious there's no need for spoiler tags to cover it.
* [[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]]: {{spoiler|After the second album.}}
* [[Villain Decay]]: After the second album.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|After Frank gets the last laugh over her, she has a vicious [[Freak Out]]. This is followed later by a [[Villainous BSOD]].}}
* [[Villainous BSODBreakdown]]: HasAfter oneFrank whengets {{spoiler|shethe lookslast atlaugh theover truthher, mirrorshe andhas realizesa that,vicious even[[Freak withOut]]. theThis Perfeccionator,is herfollowed truelater selfby isa still[[Villainous HenriettaBSOD]].}}
* [[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 ===
 
* {{spoiler|[[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. {{spoiler|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.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Eviler Than Thou]]: He turns out to be much more dangerous than Morty.}}
* [[I'm a Humanitarian|I'm a Minimonsterarian]]
* {{spoiler|[[Karmic Death]]: He has been obsessed with eating minimonsters, only to end up being eaten by the minimonsters he tried to eat.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Knight of Cerebus]]: Not as dramatic as Miss Hit, but still qualifies.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk]]}}
* [[Love Redeems]]: He ends up falling for Piruja's mother. {{spoiler|It doesn't last long}}.
* [[Not-So-Harmless Villain]]
* [[Obviously Evil]]
* [[Spiders Are Scary]]
* {{spoiler|[[The Starscream]]}}
* [[Trrrilling Rrrs]]: He speaks like this.
* [[Vile Villain, Saccharine Show]]: {{spoiler|Sure, he's [[Laughably Evil]] and ''Minimonsters'' isn't that light to begin with, but the fact that a [[I'm a Humanitarian|predatory]] [[Spiders Are Scary|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.
 
Line 493 ⟶ 505:
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: [[Humans Through Alien Eyes|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 [[Harmless Villain|anything]] [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|but]] [[Laughably Evil|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. 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.
 
== Other Characters ==
Line 501 ⟶ 515:
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: He's by far the only adult who tries to avert this trope, with varying results.
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: His hat turns out to be this. {{spoiler|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]]
Line 513 ⟶ 527:
 
* [[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 [[The Simpsons (animation)|Ned Flanders]].
* [[Berserk Button]]: Never, ''ever'', cheat in front of him. {{spoiler|Morty's Gang learned this the ''haaaaaaaaaaard'' way.}}
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Just like his daughter.
* {{spoiler|[[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]].
Line 577 ⟶ 591:
* [[Lady Drunk]]: Implied in one story, when she suggests to her kid daughter to [[Drowning My Sorrows|drown her sorrows]] in wine.
* [[Like Father, Like Son|Like Mother, Like Daughter]]: Piruja definitely inherited her looks and stalking tendencies. Unlike [[Everyone Has Standards|Piruja]], she takes her man obsession [[Up to Eleven]].
* [[Mama Bear]]: Mess with her daughter, and she'll unleash hell upon you. {{spoiler|Even if you are her scary-as-hell spider boyfriend.}}
* [[Really Gets Around]]
* [[Redhead in Green]]
Line 589 ⟶ 603:
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling|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, [[Running Gag|as usual]].
* [[Big Brother Worship]]: Lupe, Lupín and Segismundo towards Lupo, as long as he doesn't [[Sleepyhead|fall asleep]].
* {{spoiler|[[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.
