Line 50:
* [[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 [[Quirky Town|Villa Susto]]'s quirks are concerned.
Line 92 ⟶ 93:
* [[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 [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|his family]].
* [[Team Dad]]
* [[Tender Tears]]: In the second album, [[Break the Cutie|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.
Line 107 ⟶ 109:
* [[Cute Witch]]: She's a witch, but she's not considered very cute, at least [[In-Universe]].
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: In the fifth album, alongside Henrietta.
* [[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...
Line 137 ⟶ 140:
* [[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]]: The fifth album consist on him becoming this with [[An Ice Person|Yokai]].
* [[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]]
* [[Heavy Sleeper]]: So. Much.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Momses. They're almost always together.
* [[
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Downplayed
* [[Middle Child Syndrome]]: He has two older siblings and three younger siblings, and experiences quite a bit of this.
* [[Not a Morning Person|Not a Night Monster]]
Line 160 ⟶ 164:
* [[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 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.}}
Line 174 ⟶ 179:
* [[Mummy]]: [[Captain Obvious|Well, duh]].
* [[No Mouth]]: His mouth is usually hidden behind his bandages.
* [[The Power of the Sun]]: His already high strength goes [[Up to Eleven]]
* [[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
* [[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.
Line 183 ⟶ 188:
=== Gus ===
* [[Adorkable]]: The living embodiment of this trope. He's [[The Cutie|cute]], [[Nice Guy|sweet]], [[geek|geeky]]
* [[Bedsheet Ghost]]: Literally.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Not quite berserk, but he's understandably pissed when he hears [[Spoiled Brat|Victor]] [[The Starscream|plans to overthrown Frank and become leader of the gang]].
Line 207 ⟶ 212:
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Loves sweets a lot, or at least cakes.
* [[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.}}
Line 218 ⟶ 224:
* [[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.
* [[Broken Bird]]: She was introduced as this. Thankfully, [[Character Development|this has started to fade]] and is now more cheerful.
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Her feelings for Frank. [[Super-Powered Evil Side|With good reason]].
* [[The Cutie]]: So much. No wonder Frank falls hard for her.
* [[Daddy's Girl]]
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Alongside Piruja in the fifth album.
* [[Doom Magnet]]: She describes herself as this to Frank. The worst part? She's [[Super-Powered Evil Side|half]]-[[Split Personality Takeover|right]] in this regard. [[The Woobie|Poor girl...]]
* [[Fragile Flower]]
Line 233 ⟶ 240:
* [[Phlebotinum Pills]]: Carries these due to her [[Ill Girl]] status.
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: With Piruja.
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: She ''seems'' like this at first glance, but she subverts it by showing her struggles with her [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]. And while Frank is an important part of her character, she has her own relationships (Piruja, Guillotine, Billy).
* [[Shrinking Violet]]
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: She falls for [[Dogged Nice Guy|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.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The girly towards [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Miss Hit]]'s tomboy.
Line 268 ⟶ 275:
=== Yokai ===
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: Due to
* [[An Ice Person]]: As a snowman, this is expected.
* [[Blinding Bangs]]
* [[Braids of Action]]
* [[Fire-Forged Friends]]: The fifth album's premise is they becoming this with Lupo to fight Flan Hellsing.
* [[Jerkass]]:
** [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: That said,
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: S/He's shaping to be this for [[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).▼
* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]
* [[Sticky Fingers]]: S/He is a master thief.▼
▲* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]:
* [[Troll]]
Line 299 ⟶ 309:
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Once his [[Faux Affably Evil]] façade wears off.
* [[Bad Boss]]: He treats his underlings (especially [[Butt Monkey|Mienai]]) like shit.
* [[Berserk Button]]: His goons' stupidity.
* [[Berserk Button]]: More like "Insanity Button", but mention the word "brains" around him, and he'll end up chopping heads (Mostly [[Butt Monkey|Mienai]]'s).▼
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: While he was constantly mentioned, he only filled the role of a direct antagonist in the fourth album. {{spoiler|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).
* [[Detachment Combat]]: He can take off his limbs (as he's a zombie), which he usually uses to hit his underlings.
* [[Enfante Terrible]]
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Victor. Victor is hardly a saint, but he's mostly naïve
* [[Evil Redhead|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]]: ...but inside, he's downright evil and unstable. It's telling he makes [[Spoiled Brat|Victor]] look like a saint in comparison.
* [[Lack of Empathy]]
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
Line 321 ⟶ 330:
* [[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).
▲* [[
* [[Un Evil Laugh]]: "Jjj, jjj"
* [[Unholy Matrimony|Unholy Couple]]: With Guillotine.
Line 332 ⟶ 342:
* [[The Fashionista]]: She's obsessed with fashion, and is very talented at making outfits.
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: With [[Morality Pet|Piruja]].
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]:
* [[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

* [[Unholy Matrimony|Unholy Couple]]: With Morty.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]:
=== Mienai ===
Line 355 ⟶ 365:
* [[Cool Shades]]
* [[Dumb Is Good]]: He's the dumbest member of Morty's Gang, as well as the friendliest and least jerkish of the bunch.
* [[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.
* [[Invisible Jerkass]]: Downplayed in the "Jerkass" part.
* [[Jerkass Facade]]
* [[Minion with an F In Evil]]
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]
Line 374 ⟶ 385:
* [[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.
* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: Holy shit, yes. A [[Running Gag]] is the characters wondering why he's so... well... [[Pun|skinny]] judging by how much he eats.
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Irony]]: He's a [[Pun|skinny]] skeleton who eats a lot. This is frequently lampshaded and [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Minion with an F In Evil]]: Not as much or nearly as sympathetic as Mienai, but still counts
* [[Oxymoronic Being]]: A skeleton who eats a lot.
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]
* [[The Unfavourite]]: Non-related example. His mother treats him like crap, while she swoons over [[The Cutie|Gus]].
Line 393 ⟶ 405:
* [[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]].}}
* [[Evil Genius]]
* [[I Ate What?]]: Has this reaction after realizing the things he ate that gave him his intellect {{spoiler|were the informatic suppositories of the school’s warehouse. He ate even ''the used ones''.}} Just... [[Squick|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]]
Line 411 ⟶ 425:
* [[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
** [[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]]
Line 429 ⟶ 445:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Calling her "little" or "weak".
* [[Big Bad]]: Of the second album.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: In the fifth album [[Super Powered Evil Side|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.
Line 451 ⟶ 468:
* [[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 467 ⟶ 488:
* [[Harmless Villain]]: To the point ''his friggin' horse'' has to do all the work for him.
* [[The Hunter]]
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]:
* [[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]]: [[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]].
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Hell yes.
Line 490 ⟶ 512:
=== Mr. Robert Louis ===
* [[Ambiguously
* [[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]].
* [[Like Father, Like Son|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]]. [[Dogged Nice Guy|Frank]] learns this often (although his normal self likes him).
* [[Papa Wolf]]
Line 502 ⟶ 527:
* [[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]].
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: Normally, no. His evil side? Yes.
=== The Von Piros ===
Line 525 ⟶ 551:
* [[Aloof Big Sister]]: Francesca, to Frank.
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents]]: Which pisses off Frank to no end. Of course, deep down, [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|he
* [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]]: Francesca, to a T.
* [[Bumbling Dad]]: Frank Einstein Sr., who is also a ''worse'' [[Bungling Inventor]] than his son.
Line 558 ⟶ 584:
=== Lupo's siblings ===
* [[Alliterative Family]]: All siblings start their names with "Lu", save for [[Odd Name Out|Segismundo]] (granted, he's nicknamed "Lupa" to keep with the family tradition).
* [[Aloof Big Brother]] [[Big Brother Bully|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 Sibling|Annoying Younger Siblings]]: Lupo's little brothers have shades of this, although they turn out to be more responsible than expected once
* [[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 Ghost]]: Their parents. Justified to a point, since they're busy working.
* [[Innocent Blue Eyes]]
Line 571 ⟶ 597:
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]s: Lupo's little siblings.
* [[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 [[Sleepyhead|narcolepsy]].
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
