[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eb9b5ee4_9d66_45f6_8c4d_9a9b4dc7cf4c.jpeg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Matt Nolan

A jock at Jake's school. He constantly torments Jake and also tries to woo Rose whenever he gets the chance. It's eventually revealed that he got held back in 3rd-grade (twice!), making him at least two years than most of their other kids in his grade, including Jake and his friends.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: To say Rose isn't flattered by his interest one bit since standing her up is one thing.
* TheBully: Acts this way towards other kids, verbally putting them down or physically intimidating them, he’ll mock and be a jerk to anyone. Brad seemingly inherited this from his father who abuses his station to harass civilians.
* ButtMonkey: Brad gets humiliated repeatedly over the course of the series, more than often because he’s an idiot. Special mention goes to the time Brad was in charge of a cabin at a camp in "A Ghost Story" and he was humiliated by not only having to file a police-report with nothing to wear but a towel (courtesy of Jake), the police didn’t believe his story about ghosts and when he tried to run after them and make them reconsider, Brad loses his towel. To add insult to injury, Jake filmed the whole scene and showed it to the rest of the camp afterwards.
* CasanovaWannabe: Particularly towards Rose (and Jasmine) in season one, towards any pretty girl he can impress in season two. He doesn't appear to have any luck though, as he’s both too boastful, inconsiderate and about as charming as a dead fish. Not even the girl standing in the kissing booth in "Half-baked" reacts to his flirting, booringly eating a cupcake instead of paying him attention.
* TheDitz: He doesn't even recognize the word "parents" in a letter written on a sticky note. No wonder why he was held back in school twice.
%%* DumbMuscle
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Leaving Rose at the school dance for Jake's date.
* {{Flanderization}}: Brad was a [[JerkAss jerkass]] in the first series, but he was never outright hostile towards Jake. In the second series however, he goes out of his way to antagonize Jake at every opportunity. This is presumably done to make the instances in which he does [[LaserGuidedKarma get his commupence]] all the more satisfying.
* GenerationXerox: His dad is also a blonde and uses his authority as a cop to bully others by homing in on their minor flaws or transgressions.
* HateSink: He's a rude jerk with an ego who likes bullying Jake. That is all there is to know about him.
* HeldBackInSchool: As mentioned above, he got held back twice when he was in elementary, so he's at least two years older than the other students in his grade--plus, he gets his driver's license while still in middle school.
* HiddenDepths: Surprisingly he has these. In “Dreamscape” he dreams of being a ballerina. In “The Talented Mr. Long” he claims to have taken piano lessons for 12 years, he’s just a very bad student.
* JerkJock: Seriously, this guy makes ''[[Franchise/SpiderMan Flash Thompson]]'' look halfway decent by comparison.
* KickTheDog: Abandoning Rose at the school dance for Jake's date.
* NightmareFetishist: His reaction to a Nyx's eyes turning red and making an inhuman snarl? Playfully growl back. His reaction to a girl at a kissing booth turning into a Krylock mutant with lizard eyes, scorpion claws and a Xenomorph-like second mouth? "Jackpot!" It's entirely possible he's a literal example.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: He’s by far not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he’s rich enough to get a pro-skater to tutor/endorse him for a contest, problem is that he’s also a poor student at that.
* ThirdPersonPerson: He almost always addresses himself as "The Bradster". Professor Rotwood even lampshades this in "The Talented Mr. Long".
* UnmanlySecret: Aside from his dreams of being a ballerina, he’s also afraid of the dark.

[[folder:Tracey and Lacey]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/16bc1524_00a6_409e_8f07_7364994f2cfe.jpeg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrendaSong (Tracey) and Kay Panabaker (Lacey)

Two of the co-captains of the cheerleading squad at Jake’s school, and Stacey’s best friends.
----
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Downplayed, Tracy is the tallest of the Cheerleaders (whom Spud laud as all being beautiful) and is generally condescending towards others. She is also comparatively the more composed of the trio, as she doesn’t faint/is stunned at the sight of street clothes and tries to comfort Lacey after she does this, although she herself remains upset by the spectacle as well.
* AsianAirhead: Lacey is a Type I.
* BareYourMidriff: Their default dresscode, as their cheerleader uniforms leaves their stomachs bare, and in Tracey’s case her other clothes keep this theme going.
* [[BetaBitch Beta Bitches]]: Both of them to Stacey, a downplayed case since they’re her best friends and doesn’t act as if she’s better than them, nor does she demand much of them.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Both of them together with Stacey and Trixie, courtesy of Fury in "Bring It On", they were basically Fury’s personal teenage [[AmazonBrigade girl fight team]].
* TheCaptain: Shares the position with Stacey.
* {{Catchphrase}}: “Oh, totes!”
* DanceBattler: Justified, as their figthingstyle is based on cheerleader moves.
* DramaQueen: Lacey almost faints and must be told by Tracey to take deep breaths after they see Trixie’s favorite clothes (which consists entirely of street and hiphop garment).
* TheFashionista: They LOVE fashion and regularly dress to impress. Upon seeing the designer clothes Trixie's mom gave her, they can instantly tell the label, designer and that they're exclusives.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: It’s implied that Lacey might be this.
-->'''Tracey:''' The day I pay for facials is the day I believe Lacey’s as good a co-captain as me and Stacey.
* GirlishPigtails: Laceys hairstyle, perhaps mirroring her intelligence.
* MuggingTheMonster: In their first episode, when they couldn't pass before a wall without insulting it, they and Stacey insulted ''Fury''. They got off easy, given they were just brainwashed...
* NiceHat: Lacey briefly wore a stylish beret after the cheerleaders and Trixie got a manicure in "Bring It On".
* SatelliteCharacter: Exaggerated, they’re both this to Stacy and has no other role than that in the series, they’re only ever shown in her company.
* OnlyOneName: Unlike Stacey, we never learn either of their last names.
* ThoseTwoGirls: They are never seen without one another.

[[folder:Danika Hunnicut]]
[[quoteright:295:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dannika_8301.PNG]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JessicaDiCicco

A cute swim team captain at Jake's school. After Rose moves to Hong Kong, Jake decides that Danika is the one for him once he decides to get back into the dating game.
----
* TheCaptain: Downplayed, she’s the captain of the schools’ swim team.
%%* NiceGuy
* OnTheRebound: To Jake after the events of “Homecoming”.
* RedHerring: She's the main suspect for the identity of the siren who's trying to kill Jake. [[spoiler: She's not. The real siren is framing her]].
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler: She's Jake's new love interest after the events of "Homecoming".]]
* UnwittingPawn: The siren, [[spoiler: Vicky]], uses Danika to control Jake through [[spoiler: the necklace she gave her]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Jasmine]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/LaceyChabert
->''"I had a really nice time, except for the whole, you know... Sorry. Again."''

A girl that went on a date with Jake in “Dragon Breath”, unbeknownst to him, she is actually [[spoiler: a nix he fought earlier]]. She only appeared in season one, but was quite popular with fans.
----
* BadDate: Not her fault as much as Jakes’ for ignoring her curfew and not considering Jasmine’s magical background, but she still takes responsibility for how it went.
--> '''Jasmine''': ”So, um, I'm not sure how to put this, but... I'm sorry [[spoiler: I tried to suck the souls of all of your friends at the dance”.]]
* BeautyMark: She got one beneath her left eye.
* DudeMagnet: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Every. Single. Guy.]] (even Spud) at the school dance is awestruck as soon as they lay eyes on her, Brad Morton in particular, much to his dates’ chagrin (and eventually Jasmines’ as well).
* {{Expy}}: While it may just be a coincidence, she bears an uncanny resemblance to Creator/JunjiIto’s ''Manga/{{Tomie}}''.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: Her eyes briefly glow red when near moonstones in Magus Bazaar and again when a picture is taken of her]], both [[spoiler: hinting at her nix nature]].
* MemeticBystander: Shows up in a few episodes as a background character throughout season one, including in “Bodyguard Duty” where she can be seen amongst a crowd of spectators.
* PutOnABus: Appears as an important character in only one episode. Justified in universe, as she mentions she’s only in New York for a few days to visit family.
* SplitPersonality: Justified as the [[spoiler:{{Lunacy}} of her race turns her into a [[SoulEating soul-sucking]] monster.]] Her regular personality [[NiceGirl doesn’t have a bad bone in her body]].
* TrophyWife: Downplayed, as it's a case of trophy date rather than a wife. Brad pursues her because she's the "most beautiful girl" at the dance, ditching his original date in the process. Similarly, but in a much lighter way, Jake dated her so he could impress Rose.
* WomenPreferStrongMen: Played with, Jasmine seemingly doesn’t mind seeing Jake turn into a dragon and then rough up a goblin and an ogre for the sake of Fu. Maybe justified from the elevated position of dragons in the magical community.

[[folder:Olivia Mears]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c65cc6ac_571d_4344_a730_61732593f840.jpeg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:“Hey, Haley. I just wanted to wish you good luck at the dance audition tomorrow. You'll need it.”]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LilianaMumy

A fellow ChildProdigy and Haley’s rival. She’s the current owner of Yan-Yan (aka “Miss Tinkles”).
----
* ArtShift: In Season 1, she had bright orange curly hair pulled into pigtails. In Season 2, her hair is a darker shade and now in a straight ponytail, and she now has YouthfulFreckles.
* AlphaBitch: A grade school variation. She constantly taunts and looks down on Haley, and isn’t afraid to resort to foul play to get what she wants.
* AttentionWhore: She’s on par with Haley. It was the main reason she always brought “Miss Tinkles” to Show and Tell.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She’s always comes across as kind and polite to her older peers. Even Jake thought she was just a “sweet little girl” when first meeting her, much to Haley’s indignation. It’s only after he switches bodies with Haley that he realizes just how cruel Olivia can be, especially to his sister.
* ChildProdigy: Like Haley, she’s skilled in a lot of things, particularly violin and ballet.
* {{Expy}}: Arguably of Mertle Edmonds from ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries''. They even share the same voice actress!
* TheRival: To Haley. They both constantly compete to see who is the better ChildProdigy and get all the attention from their peers.
* TrueBlueFemininity: In both seasons, her outfit mainly consists of the color blue. The only exception to this is her [[PinkIsFeminine pink ballet outfit]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Patchouli Long]]
[[quoteright:224:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/38d09597_85c4_4e21_ba98_43441279b2a8.jpeg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WendieMalick
Jake's paternal aunt and Jonathan's younger sister. She only appears once during season one, and is briefly mentioned in season two.
----
* AmicableExes: Exaggerated, her relationship with Stan Lipkowski is very affectionate even after many years apart, to the point where it looks like they’re dating again (their evening plans definitely qualify as one).
* CoolAunt: Her relationship with both Jake and Haley is on the friendly and affectionate side.
* InterspeciesRomance: She dated Stan during their college years in the 80’s and might be doing it again. Justified, since she doesn’t know he’s a troll.
* LennonSpecs: Patchouli regularly wears a pair of these.
* MayDecemberRomance: Exaggerated with Stan, he mentioned in “Old School Training” that he hadn’t seen Fu Dog in hundreds of years, so he’s naturally centuries older than Patchouli.
* PutOnABus: She only appears in one episode, justified as it’s implied that she doesn’t live in New York.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Susan's Family]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/73475b0b_2d56_4969_88d9_facb210b7490.jpeg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Amy Hill (Aunt Cathy)
Susan and Lao-Shi's part of the family, all magical dragons. It goes back at least three generations.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: While a the only explicitly named members of the family are Aunt Cathy, Uncle Lee, Cousin Greggy and his younger brother Andrew, according to [[http://jeffgoode.com/tv/americandragon/02season/213.htm Jeff Goode’s website]], the elder members of the family’s names are Aunt Mai, Great Aunt Chiu and Great Uncle Wing, while Greggy’s younger sisters are named Carrie and Montana.
* BabyFactory: Downplayed, but Cathy has five children of different ages.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Zig-zagged, while the family meets once a year for a reunion and maintains an air of civility, Lao-Shi directly says that the family have a strong tendency to end up in [[DinnerAndAShow a huge fight with each other, fists optional]]. The eldest generation even see the buildup as more entertaining and enjoyable than the socializing, as they treat it like a sports event. Though while they don’t get a long, at least they don’t use their dragon powers on each other.
* CannotKeepASecret: The elder generation of the family (Lao-Shi’s) can’t keep their magical nature hidden, in fact, most of the time, they’re not even trying to. As Susan so eloquently put it, “For Pete’s sake, I couldn’t even enjoy my own wedding reception!”
** One relative casually used his fire breath to heat food at Susans’ wedding.
** Another brought a box of 99 Garden Gomes as a wedding present and then unleashes them in full view of Jonathan.
** A third, although unintentionally, transforms into a dragon every time she sneezes, which is a regular occurrence.
* TheClan: Not as clear cut as other examples of the trope, but their dragon ancestry and accompanying responsibilities binds them together, albeit loosely and not without troubles, see BigScrewedUpFamily above.
--> '''Jake''': "We’re a family of dragons punk! You can threaten us all you want!"
* ClashingCousins: Clashing everything in at least three generations of the family in fact. Special mention goes to Jake and Greggy and Susan and Cathy.
* DotingParent: Cathy towards her children, especially Gregory.
* DragonAncestry: They’re all dragons, however not all are gifted with the powers.
* DreadedKidsTable: Filled with the snot-nosed youngest generation of the family. And the others after they ended up in a huge fight.
* FamilyDisunion: Good grief yes.
* FantasticRacism: Cathy openly mocks Susan for marrying Jonathan, a normal human.
-->'''Cathy''': ”Right, the non-magical husband.”
* {{Foil}}: The family got a few besides Jake and Greggy.
** Cathy and Susan; neither have the dragon powers but their eldest sons’ are both dragons. But where Susan supports her son and his decisions while still having a strict side to discipline Jakes’ behavior, Cathy tells Greggy what to do and thinks he’s a brave and able dragon despite the overwhelming evidence against it.
** Haley and Cathy’s younger children (especially Andrew); while the former is mature and tries to treat others with respect, the latter are bratty but generally acts their age.
* {{Jerkass}}: The whole family is guilty of this, though they usually mask it under either a civilized veil/snide remarks or pranks. When called out on it, the behavior can easily erupt into fistfights. It’s to the point where Jake prefers dealing with Tiburon and his goons over socializing with his relatives (The sharkpeople prefers prison to dealing with them).
* MeaningfulName: Great Aunt Chiu is the one who uncontrollably shifts into her dragon form every time she sneezes. Also doubles as a PunnyName.
* RichBitch: Aunt Cathy in a nutshell. She owns the island in Florida where the family reunion is held and doesn’t treat either Susan or Jake (who is a fully fledged and experienced dragon at this point) with any respect.

[[quoteright:295:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/greggy_2827.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:295: [[labelnote:Click here for his dragon form]] [[quoteright:295:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/67db561e_f7bb_4ed2_8b93_9cfed25aeb0c.png]] [[/labelnote]]]]

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/WillFriedle

Jake's annoying younger cousin who just mastered his dragon form.
----
* AttentionWhore: He's worse than ''Haley''.
-->'''Greggy''': No way I'm letting Jake steal my glory!
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Not surprisingly, he steals Jake’s: “Dragon Up”.
* ClashingCousins: With Jake, whom he treats like garbage because of his ego.
* {{Foil}}: To his older cousin, Jake. Both of them are from the same family and have a certain ego, but Jake is more mature in comparison as well as experienced while Greggy is still a newbie and lets his ego get the better of him.
* GreenAndMean: A downplayed version. Greggy's main color scheme, in and out of dragon form, is green and while he's a {{Jerkass}} he does have his better moments.
* HateSink: He's not the villain of the episode, but after all his JerkAss behaviors like constantly belittling Jake, essentially cheating during their dragon contest, abandoning Jake when he's attacked by Tiburon and his gang, and trying to take all the credit for Tiburon's defeat when Jake had actually saved his life, who wouldn't be on Jake's side when he finally gets so fed up that he pounces on Greggy at the end of the episode?
* JerkAss: An immature, annoying teen with an even bigger ego.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Greggy may be an annoying jerk but during his race with Jake around the island he was ''technically'' right that they were supposed to go around ''once'', which made Greggy the winner since Jake went around more than once.
* OutgrowingTheChildishName: With him getting his dragon powers, he insists on being called Gregory instead of "Greggy".
* SmallNameBigEgo: Thinks that since he has JUST mastered his dragon form, he's more experienced than Jake.
* UngratefulBastard: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. He does thank Jake after he's rescued from nearly drowning, but as soon as Jake gives him the ''tiniest'' bit of credit for helping save the day, his ego comes back full force and he then claims that ''he'' saved ''Jake''.
* YouthfulFreckles: Greggy has noticeable freckles and is ''very'' immature for his age.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Rose's Family]]
[[quoteright:278:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rosefamil_4313.PNG]]

Rose's unnamed mother, father and twin that she was kidnapped from at birth.
----
* AdultFear: [[spoiler: Having one of your daughters kidnapped right after her birth, with you unable to do anything to help her has got to be rough]].
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Rose's twin. She was never seen again after her short amount of screen time when she was a baby. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Supposedly her whereabouts would've become a plot point had the show been allowed to go on for another season]].
* IHaveYourWife: Sort of. [[spoiler: The family isn't actually being held hostage, but The Huntsman knows exactly where they are. And he will have them killed if Rose does not obey]].
* NoNameGiven: None of their names are ever revealed.
* ParentalAbandonment: Not that they had any choice in the matter...
* StrongFamilyResemblance: It’s obvious that Rose gets her good looks from her mom.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Witches of Woodstock]]
Bubonica, Monica and Annika are a trio of witches that lives on a secret island and fall instantly in love with any man they see.
* AerithAndBob: Annika and Monika have normal names, Bubonica doesn’t.
* AlchemyIsMagic: The Witches brew potions that can destroy even the most powerful magical objects. Each of the witches have a specific task in the potion brewing: Monika stirs the cauldron and keeps an eye on the contents. Annika picks out the ingredients and adds them to the cauldron. Bubonica adds the final ingredients and finishes the potion.
* AllWomenAreLustful: Downplayed, the witch trio falls instantly in love with any man that comes to their island, age isn’t a hindrance for them (they find Lao Shi attractive) nor species (Fu Dog), and they will gush over every single positive trait they believe their crush possesses. Though this doesn’t stop them from teasing the guy if he messes up or giving him critique. Nor do they seem to find males that’re hostile towards them attractive, such as mountain goblin thieves.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Annika, Bubonica and Monica (In that order) fits this to a T.
* CuteWitch: Their perky and flirtatious attitude combined with their youth makes them this.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Although they’ll gush over any man they meet, they’re really not onboard with cheaters and liars, whom they’ll shun even after they make amends.
* GirlishPigTails: Annika’s haircut.
* HotWitch: Naturally Downplayed for a Disney cartoon, but this is Jake’s opinion as the trio is far more attractive and younger than he thought they’d be.
* IslandOfMystery: Downplayed, the witches live on a secret island magically concealed in the Hudson River, but they’re the only magical creatures on it.
* MagicCauldron: They brew their magic object destruction potions in one of these.
* TheWeirdSisters: There are three witches, but they’re really quite pleasant girls.
* YouthfulFreckles: Annika has them.

!Magical Creatures

[[folder:Dragon]]
One of the most powerful of magical creatures, charged with guarding the magical world from being discovered by humans and any other threats to it.

* AbsurdlySharpClaws: All dragons have them and it’s a literal case: Jake once cut through a rope simply by stepping on it. Aside from battle, they’re also useful for digging or slicing vegetables.
* AchillesHeel: According to the Huntsclan dragons have a “soft, squishy underbelly” which is easily targeted, but the real weak spot is behind the left ear. If struck there, a dragon is instantly slain.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Dragons come in all sorts of colors, red, pink, green and blue being the most often seen variations. This also applies to the spikes and spines on their backs which usually contrasts the rest of their bodies.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Dragons are held to be the most powerful magical creatures in the world, perhaps as a result, they’re the designated guardians of the magical community. Their status within the community means that they’re looked up to as leaders of it.
* BareFistedMonk: Most dragons refrain from using weapons, as their natural abilities are enough to deal with most threats. This doesn’t’ stop them from improvising when needed though.
* BigGood: Through the Dragon Council, all dragons are designated protectors of the magical community defending it from threats from within and without. It’s to the point that only two dragons throughout history have gone evil.
* BreathWeapon: A given, comes in the usual [[PlayingWithFire fire breath]] form, but also diversify into [[ShockAndAwe electric]] and [[AnIcePerson ice]] flavors. This breathweapon seems to originate in their stomachs and can as such be used as {{Fartillery}} as well.
* {{Contortionist}}: Downplayed, but dragons are quite flexible in their dragon forms due to their serpentine bodies, case in point: Lao-shi once tied himself into a knot trying to fight Rose.
* DelightfulDragon: Depends fully on the dragon and the circumstances, but given their magical protector status, they’re generally benevolent, except to those that cause trouble.
* DinosaursAreDragons: Averted, Dragons are not related to dinosaurs, although Rotwood believes that they’re an magical offshoot.
* TheDreaded: Played with, several magical creatures are afraid of facing dragons and will sometimes back down immediately. Justified, given what dragons are capable of. Others treat dragons with indifference and or makes a point of fighting them because of their strength. Occasionally it can cross into {{TerrorHero}} territory, but it’s not the dragons’ main way of dealing with opponents.
* FangsAreEvil: Averted, dragons have fangs, they’re just not evil by nature. Played straight with the Dark Dragon and Chang though.
* {{Flight}}: All dragons, with or without wings, can fly, no exception.
* GiantFlyer: Downplayed, dragons aren’t necessarily humongous in size, although they can easily be about 8-10 feet in height.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Considering dragons are basically a magical police force or rather Secret Service, this is sometimes a given. They’re expected to either thwart, disrupt, prevent, fight, or if necessary, kill, any and all threats to the Magical Community. This can be defeating the Huntsclan, destroy a magical monster or mindwiping their closest friends simply for knowing about magic.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: Averted, Dragons come with different types of wings for flight, bat, bird or even butterfly wings, but they’re not indicative of their moral alignment, which is, with very few exceptions, good.
* InterspeciesRomance: Dragons are capable of having children with humans, without HalfHumanHybrid offspring because their magic is dominant. Interestingly, the ethnicity of the non-magical human can affect the child's appearance, as with Jonathan being American of European descent, his son and daughter [[LineageComesFromTheFather appear as Western Heraldic dragons]] instead of Eastern ones like their maternal grandfather. The fact that no one even bats an eyelid at Jake's parentage indicates Dragons have been doing this ''[[MuggleMageRomance for a very long time.]]''
* KryptoniteFactor: A textbook example: Dragons are weakened by sphinx hair in the same fashion as Superman is to kryptonite. This is however a strange case, as in season one, Dragons were only weakened when in physical contact with the sphinx hair. This changed in season two where the they were weakened to the point that they reverted to human form, even at a distance.
* LightningBruiser: Dragons are fast and powerful, basically flying tanks. They can fly up to about 179 miles pr. hour when exerting themselves.
* MagicalEye: A surprisingly versatile part of the dragons' {{SuperSenses}}, all dragons can activate this ability at will, whereupon their eyes glow red or yellow and they gain several useful abilities. These include the ability to [[InnateNightVision see in the dark]], being able to see things over great distances in minute detail or spot specific tracks, such as footprints or even what another person has touched, like a piece of paper with handwriting.
* NaturalWeapon: Several: Claws, check, fangs, check, [[TailSlap tail]], check, dragon breath, double check. Depending on the situation, even the tongue can be useful in combat.
* TheOrder: All dragons are members of the Dragon order which is charged with safekeeping the magical community and have done so for thousands of years. The Order is ruled by the Dragon Council, which consists of five members from across the world. The council delegates assignments and task to the world dragons, provides their members with various information, send agents that help the local dragons, assigns masters to all dragons and tests the orders members in various ways, which is all on top of doing their own magical duties. They also judge the individual dragon and can take away their powers if the individual commits a crime or fails the Order in any way, this can be for good or temporarily depending on the offence. The order even has a private base, Draco Island, to use for summits, training ground and council meetings. On a number of points, the Dragon order is inspired by the Jedi Order from Franchise/StarWars.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Aside from blending both western and eastern variants, these dragons have several unique [[ComboPlatterPowers traits and powers]]. An example where they differ is the appearance of their wings, which range from normal bat-like, to those of birds or even butterfly wings and whether they have any or not, or even have a double pair of them. They also sometimes resemble different animals, such as fish, lizards, snakes or deer. In addition to this, their lifespan doesn’t appear to be lengthened like other fictional dragons, instead aging like normal humans do. However, elderly dragons can still be physically powerful opponents, as exemplified by Lao-shi and Chang.
* OverlyLongTongue: Jake has shown to extend his to be as long as his own height in human form, perhaps longer. It’s both dexterous and versatile, essentially an extra hand kept in their mouths.
* PowerAtAPrice: Downplayed, being dragons comes at a cost, but the price isn’t constant and can at times be more of a nuisance than truly detrimental in the long run. That isn’t to say that it can’t be dangerous depending on the coping methods.
** As dragons mature the glands in their mouths that enable their breathweapon starts to stink horribly, which as mentioned is only a temporary thing and recedes after a while. Until then, they might as well have a sewer in the mouth.
** A dragon's skin needs to molt every ten years or so, which looks [[BodyHorror extremely disgusting]] and isn't comfortable either. Though by using Spud and Trixies' 100 uses-cream, the molting might be a downgraded problem in the future.
** Dragons naturally become stressed due to the massive pressure they’re under, both physically and mentally. Being responsible for guarding a hidden magical world, constantly being on the lookout for threats, serving the community in different ways, in addition to dragon training, while also leading normal lives as humans, is an immense workload and extremely stressful. Naturally, dragons can find it hard to cope with that side of the job. Haley nearly cracked under the pressure in two weeks!
* SelfDuplication: Dragons can make physical doppelgängers out of their [[LifeEnergy chi]] for diversions or [[MundaneUtility chores]].
* {{Shapeshifter}}: According to Lao-shi, dragons are natural shapeshifters, but usually only from human to dragon form. They can transform fully or [[DraconicHumanoid partially]], granting them great versatility without being discovered by humans in the process. The ability to shapeshift into other individuals or creatures can be accessed by using a magical potion, but for the 24 hours it lasts, their normal dragon powers aren’t accessible and they’re thus vulnerable to enemies.
* SuperSenses: Dragons can amplify certain senses, such as hearing, enabling them to pick up individual sounds for eavesdropping and espionage or enhance their eyesight to enable night vision or tracking objects and people.
* SuperStrength: All of them are extremely strong, Jake has been seen lifting a giant (and several other magical creatures at once), while Haley have bitten through thick cables without much problem.
* SuperToughness: Justified, as they’re magical in nature. Besides their scales being extremely tough, dragons have taken being slammed into brick walls and gotten up like it was nothing. This also manifests in a resistance to heat and cold, as they don’t appear to take damage from other dragons’ fire breathing and can move with minimal discomfort during cold weather, like a snowstorm or even in arctic regions like Greenland.

[[folder:Aztec Guardian Serpent]]
[[quoteright:294:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/AztecGuardianSerpent_9180.PNG]]

This large snake guards one of the missing Aztec Skulls and has an innate ability to get the skull back if it is taken.

* AntiVillain: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type IV]]. Its job is to guard an Aztec Crystal Skull, and so to it, Jake is just as much a threat as the Huntsclan is.
* CoolCrown: It has a golden one, which used to be topped by one of the Aztec Crystal Skulls.
* FeatheredSerpent: Quite possibly, it's hard to tell though due to the animation style.
* HealingFactor: The serpent can regenerate lost parts of its’ body, such as the rattle at the end of its’ tail that waas ripped off by Jake.
* LightningBruiser: Huge as it is, the serpent is also very fast, keeping up with a flying Jake.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: The Huntsman uses the serpent to track down both the missing Aztec Skull and Jake, then cuts it down with his staff.

[[folder:The Jersey Devil]]
[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jerseydevil_4362.PNG]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/DeeBradleyBaker

A magical creature that is terrorizing a village of sprites. While on a camping trip with his dad and friends, Jake has to defend the village from it.

* AnimalisticAbomination: It’s a mixture of different animals, it got moose antlers, wings, a doglike head, eagle wings and a lions’ tail.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Mr. Long drives it off a cliff. Possibly subverted, though, 'cause it can fly.
* ItCanThink: While it’s not capable of speech, it’s smart enough to lure someone into their own traps.
%%* {{Joisey}}
%%* MonsterOfTheWeek
* RedEyesTakeWarning: It got these and is a terror to the nearby pixies.

[[folder:Kelpie]]
[[quoteright:238:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Kelpie_7557.PNG]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/DeeBradleyBaker

A magical creature that escaped from its prison in Mermaid City so it could drain all of Jake's strength. The #2 threat to the magical community.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Can feed off of a multitude of magical creatures to gain their abilities, including dragons.
* TheDreaded: After hearing its shriek in the middle of the night and going out to investigate, Jake finds some magical creatures running away in abject terror. Justified, as the Kelpie is both the #2 greatest threat to the magical community and eats other magical beings.
%%* MonsterOfTheWeek
* SadlyMythtaken: A fish person who steals others' magical powers is a far cry from the man-eating horse of British folklore.
* SerialKiller: Essentially, considering it's fed on plenty of magical creatures based on how often it shapeshifts and Silver's dialogue pretty much confirms that the victim dies if the Kelpie finishes feeding, although Lao-Shi himself survives the Kelpie feeding on him enough to shapeshift into him.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: It's pretty much a horror movie monster, stuck in an episode about the wacky hijinks that ensue from Lao-Shi dating Principal Derceto.

[[folder:Pooka-Pooka]]
[[quoteright:294:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/koopakoopa_351.PNG]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/DeeBradleyBaker

An evil sorcerer that is masquerading as a puppet-like star of a children's show called "Pooka-Pooka Fun Farm". All children that watch are hypnotized into becoming trouble makers. Jonathan Long knew there was something he didn't like about him. The #13 threat to the Magical Community.

* DepravedKidsShowHost: His show hypnotizes small children into doing amoral acts.
%%* EvilSorcerer
%%* MonsterOfTheWeek
* OhCrap: gets one when Jake breaks Hailey out of his brainwashing AND her supremely pissed at him. Quite comprehensible, given it was a WomanScorned with super strength and [[BreathWeapon fire breath]]...
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He was last seen when he was just about to be attacked by Haley. Haley said in the end credit scene that his show was cancelled, but we never see what she does to him.

[[folder:The Krylock Demon]]
[[quoteright:276:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Krylock_8856.jpg]]

A magical creature that has the head of a snake and the body of a scorpion. It is very venomous, and if its venom is consumed, it will transform the eater into a Krylock Demon. The #3 threat to the magical community.

* EldritchAbomination: It's a terrifying, venomous creature with the head of a cobra and the body of a scorpion that lives in another dimension which is only accessible via a magical potion.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Its venom is what destroys it.
%%* MonsterOfTheWeek
* ScaryScorpions: This is half of its’ body, the other half is that of a [[SnakesAreSinister cobra]].
* TechnicolorToxin: Its poison is a vibrant glowing green.
* ViralTransformation: If one consumes a Krylock's venom, they ''become'' a Krylock themselves. Oh, and Haley reveals that dragons aren't immune to this.

[[folder:The Avimitrius]]
[[quoteright:296:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/avimtrius_9423.PNG]]

An ancient magical creature that sucks the life out of its victims to stay young. The #10 threat to the magical community. In the episode "Young At Heart", Jake, Trixie and Spud are its unfortunate victims.

* EldritchAbomination: While it's [[HumanoidAbomination vaguely humanoid]], it is also huge, has the head of a fish, tentacles coming out of its back and sucks the youth out of people, adding to its own lifespan.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Haley even remarks that she could have gone without its guts raining down on her.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: It's very weakness is its own tentacles. Getting touched by them will cause its FamilyUnfriendlyDeath above.
* LifeDrinker: Uses its’ tentacles to suck out the youth from its’ victims turning them older.%%* MonsterOfTheWeek

[[folder:Nix]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4cd3e1df_da20_446b_b11d_80c8eaf7af8a.jpeg]]

A dark magical creature that sucks out people's souls.

* {{Lunacy}}: The cycle of the moon forces a Nix to shapeshift, see below.
* FangsAreEvil: They get these and are inherently dangerous because of their Horror Hunger.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: They have a pair of dark frayed ones.
* HorrorHunger: Nixes can [[SoulEating drain the souls of people]] and leave them in a zombified state. This can however be undone by knocking them unconscious.
* LightningBruiser: They’re both fast and strong enough to go up against dragons, at least for a short while.
* NaturalWeapons: Claws and tail.
* NonMaliciousMonster: At least with Jasmine, it seems that Nix are not evil by nature, but rather are compelled to drain human souls when the moon reaches the center of the sky.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Their eyes flash like this when either agitated, in a downright berserker mood, get photographed or are affected by the moon.
* {{Shapeshifting}}: Nixes are forced to transform from human into their Nix form, gaining wings, claws, fangs, snakebodies and general axe-craziness. The process is by no means pleasant for them.
* SnakePeople: Nixes have scales and the lower body of a snake.

[[folder:Shadow Dragons]]
A race of creatures that resemble dragons which are in service to the Dark Dragon. The #11 greatest threat to the magical community.

* CastingAShadow: While they’re not casting any spells, their entire bodies are composed of living shadow.
* HenchmenRace: The Shade Demons are only ever seen serving the Dark Dragon as his [[{{Mooks}} footsoldiers]].
* WeakenedByTheLight: [[LogicalWeakness Logically]] since they’re made of shadow: a bright flash of light destroys them. The fact that a camera can take them out makes it a {{WeaksauceWeakness}}.

[[folder:Strigoi]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/126afdbc_1d16_4b98_b7e5_066fb8c1384a.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TressMacNeille (Queen Liliana), Creator/DeeBradleyBaker
A type of Romanian vampire that feeds upon dragons. Four appeared in the series, Queen Liliana and her three sons, hunting Jake.
----
* AbsurdlySharpClaws: Strigoi have them and they’re sharp and strong enough to rake dragon scales!
* AbusiveParents: Played with, Liliana doesn’t shy away from insulting her sons and slamming her coffin lid in their faces, but due to their horror hunger, they’re in a hurry. That, and her sons aren’t the best at understanding her instructions.
* AffablyEvil: Downplayed, the three sons can be civil, to the point of appearing in a photo for a child, but that’s about it. When it comes to possible prey, the civility is just [[FauxAffablyEvil pretending]] in order to lure the dragon to lower their guard.
* BladeOnAStick: The trio that went after Jake used a spear with a lock of Sphinx hair attached to it.
* TheBrute: The large Strigoi with the shades definitely qualifies: he’s big, silent and violent.
* TheDragonSlayer: Offscreen, but they’ve managed to take down at least three World Dragons, possibly many more given the huge casefile Fu had on them. Given the nature of dragons in this setting, this doubles as a case of {{HeroKiller}}.
* TheDreaded: Fu Dog is instantly scared when he hears they’re in New York and so is Jake after hearing of their accomplishments.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: The Strigoi are constantly catering to their mothers’ needs, aside from small stuff like pushing her wheelchair and drive her around, they’re actively searching for food for her. Justifed on a practical level as they’ll have a hard time finding dragons without her.
* EvilRedhead: All Strigoi have carrot red hair and hunts dragons, they’re pretty bad.
* [[spoiler: FamilyExtermination]]: [[spoiler: Jake subjects the four Strigoi to this via magical solar sand. Justified, since it was self-defense.]]
* FangsAreEvil: Naturally, they have fangs, but unlike other vampires where only the canines are actual fangs, their other teeth sharpen significantly when they’re moving in for the kill.
* FantasticRacism: They freely refers to dragons as beasts and doesn’t seem think of them as more than that, despite seeing Jake transform into humanform and even having some banter with him.
* FreudianTrio: Downplayed, the three brothers doesn’t show much personality, but they do have shades of one that’s giving the orders (the one with the spear, AKA the Ego), one that’s slightly silly (the adorkable one, AKA the super Ego) and the brute (the big one, AKA the Id).
* {{Flight}}: It’s implied that they can do this, as Fu Dogs’ book shows them attacking a dragon in flight.
* HorrorHunger: Their thirst for blood is bad enough for the victims, but when they haven’t fed for a while, they’re weakened to the point that they become lethargic and frail, to the point where they can be confined to wheelchairs or feel like it’s 200 degrees in the shade for them.
* ICallItVera: One of the Strigoi brothers calls his fangs “Lefty and Bitey”.
* LeanAndMean: All Strigoi are on the skinny side and are open to being cruel to their prey.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Justified as they’re a different type of vampire, stakes and garlic doesn’t work on them, the only way to kill them is exposure to [[WeakenedByThelight direct sunlight]]. They also don’t seem to reproduce by turning their victims but are instead born like normal people, since they have a regular family structure. This aside, they still [[MissingReflection lack reflections]].
* ScarilyCompetentTracker: Queen Liliana can track dragons through her psychic abilities. Her sons aren’t as gifted.
* SinisterShades: The most brutish of the Strigoi sports a pair.
* VampiresAreRich: Implied at least, they drive a limo and have no problem convincing Jonathan that they represent a foreign company.
* VampireMonarch: Queen Liliana is a literal case over her three sons, but she seems to keep her position because she’s the groups’ mother, not because she’s more powerful.
* VampiresSleepInCoffins: Queen Liliana does this when travelling due to her condition.
* VampireVords: They have a distinguished eastern European accent and claims to have their own language, they do not, however, engage in {{FangSpeak}}.
* WouldHurtAChild: If the child happens to be a dragon, then you bet they’ll hurt a child. Kinda Justified as a dragon can fight back and it’s their {{HorrorHunger}} that requires them to do the killing. But kicking them when they’re down is overdoing it.

[[folder:Troll]]
A type of magical creature from Scandinavian folklore that tends to live in sewers. Often turn up as background characters.
----
* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: A gang of Biker trolls appeared in “Keeping Shop” terrorizing Magus Bazaar [[ForTheEvulz for the hell of it]].
* ArtShift: In season one, they were green and stout, while in season two, their appearance tends to be muscular, topheavy, hairy and simian.
* DumbMuscle: Exaggerated, Strong enough to restrain dragons and not that bright, they can’t even tell two dragons apart and doesn’t take offence to Changs’ summarization of them:
--> '''Chang''': "The great thing about Trolls: Dumb as custard and yet so helpful at the little things, like the will to domination, and slaying dragons!"
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: The biker trolls take good care of their mama when she’s turned to stone. Also serves as their {{BerserkButton}}.
* InsubstantialIngredients: Played with, Troll Belches are a reagent in some potions such as the shapeshifting-potion and the portal-potion. This, however, is a strange case of the art evolution between seasons, as in season ones’ “Shapeshifter” the belches were a slimy liquid (and sounded like a belch), but by seasons two, the ingredient had become immaterial (but still with sound intact).
* {{Mooks}}: Pandarus employed a group of them in season one. In season two, Jake paid a few to join him against the Huntsclan in “Fools Gold” and in “Nobody’s Fu” Chang convinced a group to work for her.
* OurTrollsAreDifferent: Some trolls, like Stan Lipkowski, have only one eye and their fur turns into monsters when burnt, either by fire or sunlight instead of turning to stone. This type of troll can also live several hundred years.
* TakenForGranite: What happens when regular trolls are exposed to sunlight: Instant ugly statue.
* WeaksauceWeakness: They get turned to stone by sunlight.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Goblins]]
A race of magical creatures that are notorious for their criminal activities and sneaky character.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Goblins come in various shades of green and blue.
* BecomingTheMask: Happens to a goblin that was sent to infiltrate a middle school disguised as teenage girls (it makes sense in context). His boss Herbert wasn’t amused afterwards.
* BlackMarket: Goblins run the magical counterpart of this.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Fairly regular opponents and background characters in season one, come season two, they’re gone without a trace, largely supplanted by Hobgoblins and Leprechauns.
* DepravedDwarf: About the height of a child-teenager and devoid of morals, goblins are a race of this. This is however downplayed, as they can act in a civil and even friendly manner, such as during the party in “Halloween Bash” and later joining the fight against the Huntsclan.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Averted. There’s absolutely nothing goblins won’t do, dealing with the Huntsclan, hustling a dog for treats they owe, kidnapping people and force them into working for them is all fair game, so long as there’s a profit to be made. Lampshaded by Fu:
--> '''Fu Dog''': “Using a magical gift to try and turn a profit. Will those Goblins stop at nothing?”
* FaceOfAThug: Squashed features, heavy brows/sloping foreheads and fanged mouths, goblins got this one down.
* TheMafia: Befitting a G-rated cartoon, it’s a downplayed case. Goblins mainly run illegal gambling operations, black market or money/dog biscuit lending (with some subsequent ogre-assisted depth collecting). Though they will stray into the realm of kidnapping and enforced servitude if it’s profitable.
* TheNoseKnows: They can track other creatures based on their scent, such as Dragons and oracles. This makes them notoriously hard to sneak up on, but can also be [[WeaksauceWeakness used against them, as their noses are also very sensitive to strong odors or stench]].
* BenevolentPrecursors: Goblins are stated to have been around for 2 million years. It’s implied that they were a lot more righteous back then, as well as magically attuned, such as [[SealedEvilInACan imprisoning]] a malevolent Djinn and letting a magical spell be passed down through the ages, making it was possible to reseal the Djinn again if it was ever freed.
* OurGoblinsAreDifferent: These goblins usually have tails, are a bit reptilian and has a very good sense of smell. But similar to goblins in other settings, they’re still criminals, hustlers and rogues. A subspecies, the Mountain Goblins, are nearly identical to Hobgoblins with their grey skin, armor and sharp features, but they also have batwings on their backs which they use to fly.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Hobgoblins]]
A race of magical creatures that dress in armor and resemble grey skinned orcs. The #7 biggest threat to the magical community.
----
* BullyingADragon: A literal case, as they’ve done this with both Jake and Hailey on separate occasions. In Jakes’ case, he was in human form, so it built up from {{MuggingTheMonster}}.
* CarryABigStick: Hobgoblins seems to prefer big clubs.
* DumbMuscle: Unintelligent and brutish, they’re basically magical hooligans.
* FantasticRacism: Some have shades of this towards humans.
* ForTheEvulz: Destroys cars and the like with bullyish laughter. Also takes on dragons for the same reason.
* LeanAndMean: Hobgoblins are all on the skinny side and as mean as vipers.
* LooksLikeOrlok: Aside from the medieval armor and not being vampires, Hobgoblins exhibit this trope, as they have grey skin (pale), are lean, [[SinisterSchnoz have freakishly long noses]], [[PointyEars pointed bat-like ears]] and some has [[FangsAreEvil fangs]] as well.
* MightMakesRight: Readily uses threats to get what they want.
* {{Mooks}}: They’ve been used in this fashion by both Jake and the magical authorities.
* OurOrcsAreDifferent: While not called orcs, Hobgoblins have multiple similarities to Tolkiens’ classic version of them, as they’re shown to be largely unintelligent, belligerent, grey skinned, ugly, hunchbacked mooks that are smaller than adult humans. Unlike the classic version, they’re not {{AlwaysChaoticEvil}}, as they’re at the least capable of living alongside other magical creatures and be (somewhat) productive members of society (See “Mooks” above).
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ogre]]
Large and powerful magical creatures.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: They come in shades of green, blue and grey.
* TheBigGuy: They tower over most other creatures and are extremely strong, which means they often find employment as [[HiredGuns thugs, bouncers, gladiators, guards]] and sports’ stars.
* FictionalSport: The ogre signature sport is called Boulderball and revolves around scoring a goal using a giant boulder as the ball, thrown between the contesters. It’s the favorite sporting event in the magical world, despite how violent it is on the field, how dangerous it can be for the spectators (sometimes the boulders gets thrown into the crowd) and how long it can take (one match had 17 rounds before it entered quadruple overtime).
* GreenAndMean: Many are greenskinned and the vast majority have a penchant for violence.
* LongLived: If Maximinus (who fought as a gladiator in ancient Rome) is anything to go by, ogres can live for hundreds, if not thousands of years without aging significantly or going past their physical prime.
* OpposingSportsTeam: Whatever teams are playing Boulderball are this to each other, it’s that violent!
* UnnecessaryRoughness: The ogres’ signature sport, Boulderball, is filled with this, and not just the players, sometimes the spectators get in on the fighting too. Even the referees aren’t guaranteed to not be [[GrievousHarmWithABody enveloped]] in the brawls that occurs between contestants.
* StoutStrength: Ogres are largely big around the waist and [[SuperStrength strong enough]] to hurl boulders that are larger than themselves at high speeds (up to 180 miles pr. Hour).
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Giant]]
Huge, strong and stupid magical creatures.
----
* TheDitz: They’re not terribly bright and are easy to trick.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In season one, giants were noted to be surprisingly gentle and benevolent, bordering on {{SuicidalPacifism}} at times, as a whole community of giants got enslaved by a group of normal human wrestlers in “Ring Around The Dragon”. A few, such as Bertha, does not follow this entirely though. In season two, giants are more violent and remarkably dumber. Additionally, in the first Season, aside from their size, they were indistinguishable from normal humans. In the next season, courtesy of {{ArtShift}}, they’ve gained coarser and sharper features (including ears), underbites and have grey or green skin tones.
* GentleGiant: Averted in season two both because the giants are ignorant about their surroundings (causing heavy structural damage simply by hopping along) and increased aggression.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: A literal case as these giants come on different sizes, some being only twice to trice the size of a normal human, while others tower over buildings.
* PracticalCurrency: Some secluded giant communities in the wilderness have a currency based on fish. Though it seems, more urban giants prefer leprechaun gold.
* SuperStrength: An eight-year old giant can match strength with a dragon, that can lift a giant! The adults are even stronger!
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Shark People]]
A race of magical creatures that are half-shark and half-human; although this allows them to walk on land, they mainly live in the oceans. They will eat anything. Anything!
----
* BladeOnAStick: Several members of Tiburons’ Sharkmada were armed with spears.
* ExtremeOmnivore: With a dash of {{HorrorHunger}}, normal food aside, they’ll eat anything, ANYTHING, be it couches, rubberboats, chainsaws, anchors, license plates, ancient artifacts, people, at a moment’s notice without warning. A small part of this is {{TruthInTelevision}} since some shark species will indeed eat anything or examine things by biting them.
-->'''Jake''': [[spoiler: "You hid it (Neptunes’ trident) in your stomach?"]]\\
'''Shark Woman''': "I told you; We’ll eat anything!"
* HiddenDepths: At least according to Sharkwoman, the race is far better than their first impressions.
--> '''Shark Woman''': "Despite our multiple rows of flesh tearing jagged teeth, we’re really a tender, loving race."
This statement itself is immediately afterwards undermined by her biting into a rubberboat or later when she gorges herself on a dinner table in front of a very surprised family of dragons.
* InformedAbility: Tiburon boasts that the Sharkpeople are naturally attuned to [[MakingASplash the sea and its’ powers]] or objects associated with them, like Neptunes’ trident. This is not elaborated upon, however.
* PreferJailToTheProtagonist: They apparently have their own “Sharkprison”. One of Tiburons goons’ reaction is this trope after listening to Susans’ family bickering (and fist fighting) for a few seconds.
* ScarilyCompetentTracker: Played with, Tiburons’ Sharkmada managed to find Jake, Fu and the Sharkwoman without much trouble. Downplayed as it did take them a while and Justified as [[TruthInTelevision sharks indeed have a very good sense of smell]].
--> '''Tiburon''': "We’re sharks, we followed our [[TheNoseKnows noses]]"
* SharkFinofDoom: Tiburon and his Sharkmada’s first appearance is this.
* SharkMan: Naturally. And they come in different types too, such as Bullsharks, Hammerheads and Reefsharks. Unlike other examples of this trope, in addition to the fin on their back, some sharkpeople sport an extra fin coming out the back of their heads. They also have webbed [[FourFingeredHand four fingered hands]].
* ThreateningShark: Naturally given their {{Extreme Omnivore}} nature and [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily sharp flesh tearing teeth]], but also the setting of the episode “Feeding Frenzy”, which is a private island off the coast of Florida Keys.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Elf]]
A magical creature from north European folklore.
* CuteLittleFangs: The diminutive type of elves have them, and they’re adorable.
* HiddenInPlainSight: The human looking elves can walk amongst humans without getting detected, which mean they can attend human schools or have normal jobs (Three are employed by Susan as part of her catering company).
* {{Magitek}}: Paired with {{TheEngineer}}, Elves have their own scientific organization that produces innovative magical devices which are based on present day technology. The organization is called [[FunWithAcronyms “N.E.R.D”]], which stands for '''N'''ew '''E'''lven '''R'''esearch in '''D'''evelopment. Fu dogs’ description/summarization of them isn’t flattering:
--> '''Fu Dog''': Bunch of Tech dweeb elves working on inventing new magical objects, talk about putting the Eek in Geek!
** One of their more dangerous devices was the reality warping game controller from “Game On” which had to be destroyed.
** According to Lao Shi, a group of elves were allegedly also the creators of the Taranushi Chalice which held a Djinn trapped, but this was false, and the true creators were actually goblins.
* MindOverMatter: The human looking elves seemingly have the power of telekinesis as they can make objects float.
* OurElvesAreDifferent: They come in at least two different kinds, one that’s the stereotypical diminutive Santa’s elf, but with fangs and tails that make them resemble little monkeys, while the other type is almost indistinguishable from humans except for the ears.
* PointyEars: All elves have these regardless of what type they are.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Leprechaun]]
A magical race of lucky little people from Ireland. They run a secret stock exchange in New York City.
* TheClan: Leprechauns are divided into different clans, such as the Arrergood, which is the clan Brocomus belongs to.
* CheapGoldCoins: Completely inverted and then taken up to eleven, in season one, a single leprechaun gold coin is worth about six hundred dollars.
* FictionalCurrency: Their gold coins in season two are perhaps even more valuable than in season one, since they come with magical effects, such as Simoleans with a soundtrack and lightshow! Naturally, the coins are highly valued by other magical creatures too.
* {{Greed}}: Implied in season one as they run their own secret stock exchange. Very prominent in season two with Brocomus and his clan, they’ll even deal with the Huntsclan if they offer enough!
* {{Leprechaun}}: [[SarcasmMode No one saw this one coming]], Naturally, Leprechauns are this trope and all the stereotypes are present, the Irish accent, short stature, red hair and beard (although they can also be blonde), the gold, luck, the shamrock, rainbows and the green clothes.
* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: They manufacture a lot of things out of Gold, clothes (all kinds, including shoes and undies), shades, skateboards and scooters (and even little carts for them with accompanying helmets), not to forget their famous gold coins.
* GoodLuckCharm: Subverted, it’s not the four-leaf clovers that gives the leprechauns their famous otherworldly luck, the ones in NY has an enchanted pot of gold that provides it. This also means that the luck can be passed onto whomever possesses it. When the Leprechauns aren’t in possession of the pot of gold, as seen in "The Heist", they’re pretty much doomed with lethal misfortune.

[[folder:Brad Morton]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eb9b5ee4_9d66_45f6_8c4d_9a9b4dc7cf4c.jpeg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Matt Nolan

A jock at Jake's school. He constantly torments Jake and also tries to woo Rose whenever he gets the chance. It's eventually revealed that he got held back in 3rd-grade (twice!), making him at least two years than most of their other kids in his grade, including Jake and his friends.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: To say Rose isn't flattered by his interest one bit since standing her up is one thing.
* TheBully: Acts this way towards other kids, verbally putting them down or physically intimidating them, he’ll mock and be a jerk to anyone. Brad seemingly inherited this from his father who abuses his station to harass civilians.
* ButtMonkey: Brad gets humiliated repeatedly over the course of the series, more than often because he’s an idiot. Special mention goes to the time Brad was in charge of a cabin at a camp in "A Ghost Story" and he was humiliated by not only having to file a police-report with nothing to wear but a towel (courtesy of Jake), the police didn’t believe his story about ghosts and when he tried to run after them and make them reconsider, Brad loses his towel. To add insult to injury, Jake filmed the whole scene and showed it to the rest of the camp afterwards.
* CasanovaWannabe: Particularly towards Rose (and Jasmine) in season one, towards any pretty girl he can impress in season two. He doesn't appear to have any luck though, as he’s both too boastful, inconsiderate and about as charming as a dead fish. Not even the girl standing in the kissing booth in "Half-baked" reacts to his flirting, booringly eating a cupcake instead of paying him attention.
* TheDitz: He doesn't even recognize the word "parents" in a letter written on a sticky note. No wonder why he was held back in school twice.
%%* DumbMuscle
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Leaving Rose at the school dance for Jake's date.
* {{Flanderization}}: Brad was a [[JerkAss jerkass]] in the first series, but he was never outright hostile towards Jake. In the second series however, he goes out of his way to antagonize Jake at every opportunity. This is presumably done to make the instances in which he does [[LaserGuidedKarma get his commupence]] all the more satisfying.
* GenerationXerox: His dad is also a blonde and uses his authority as a cop to bully others by homing in on their minor flaws or transgressions.
* HateSink: He's a rude jerk with an ego who likes bullying Jake. That is all there is to know about him.
* HeldBackInSchool: As mentioned above, he got held back twice when he was in elementary, so he's at least two years older than the other students in his grade--plus, he gets his driver's license while still in middle school.
* HiddenDepths: Surprisingly he has these. In “Dreamscape” he dreams of being a ballerina. In “The Talented Mr. Long” he claims to have taken piano lessons for 12 years, he’s just a very bad student.
* JerkJock: Seriously, this guy makes ''[[Franchise/SpiderMan Flash Thompson]]'' look halfway decent by comparison.
* KickTheDog: Abandoning Rose at the school dance for Jake's date.
* NightmareFetishist: His reaction to a Nyx's eyes turning red and making an inhuman snarl? Playfully growl back. His reaction to a girl at a kissing booth turning into a Krylock mutant with lizard eyes, scorpion claws and a Xenomorph-like second mouth? "Jackpot!" It's entirely possible he's a literal example.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: He’s by far not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he’s rich enough to get a pro-skater to tutor/endorse him for a contest, problem is that he’s also a poor student at that.
* ThirdPersonPerson: He almost always addresses himself as "The Bradster". Professor Rotwood even lampshades this in "The Talented Mr. Long".
* UnmanlySecret: Aside from his dreams of being a ballerina, he’s also afraid of the dark.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/16bc1524_00a6_409e_8f07_7364994f2cfe.jpeg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrendaSong (Tracey) and Kay Panabaker (Lacey)

Two of the co-captains of the cheerleading squad at Jake’s school, and Stacey’s best friends.
----
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Downplayed, Tracy is the tallest of the Cheerleaders (whom Spud laud as all being beautiful) and is generally condescending towards others. She is also comparatively the more composed of the trio, as she doesn’t faint/is stunned at the sight of street clothes and tries to comfort Lacey after she does this, although she herself remains upset by the spectacle as well.
* AsianAirhead: Lacey is a Type I.
* BareYourMidriff: Their default dresscode, as their cheerleader uniforms leaves their stomachs bare, and in Tracey’s case her other clothes keep this theme going.
* [[BetaBitch Beta Bitches]]: Both of them to Stacey, a downplayed case since they’re her best friends and doesn’t act as if she’s better than them, nor does she demand much of them.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Both of them together with Stacey and Trixie, courtesy of Fury in "Bring It On", they were basically Fury’s personal teenage [[AmazonBrigade girl fight team]].
* TheCaptain: Shares the position with Stacey.
* {{Catchphrase}}: “Oh, totes!”
* DanceBattler: Justified, as their figthingstyle is based on cheerleader moves.
* DramaQueen: Lacey almost faints and must be told by Tracey to take deep breaths after they see Trixie’s favorite clothes (which consists entirely of street and hiphop garment).
* TheFashionista: They LOVE fashion and regularly dress to impress. Upon seeing the designer clothes Trixie's mom gave her, they can instantly tell the label, designer and that they're exclusives.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: It’s implied that Lacey might be this.
-->'''Tracey:''' The day I pay for facials is the day I believe Lacey’s as good a co-captain as me and Stacey.
* GirlishPigtails: Laceys hairstyle, perhaps mirroring her intelligence.
* MuggingTheMonster: In their first episode, when they couldn't pass before a wall without insulting it, they and Stacey insulted ''Fury''. They got off easy, given they were just brainwashed...
* NiceHat: Lacey briefly wore a stylish beret after the cheerleaders and Trixie got a manicure in "Bring It On".
* SatelliteCharacter: Exaggerated, they’re both this to Stacy and has no other role than that in the series, they’re only ever shown in her company.
* OnlyOneName: Unlike Stacey, we never learn either of their last names.
* ThoseTwoGirls: They are never seen without one another.

[[quoteright:295:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dannika_8301.PNG]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JessicaDiCicco

A cute swim team captain at Jake's school. After Rose moves to Hong Kong, Jake decides that Danika is the one for him once he decides to get back into the dating game.
----
* TheCaptain: Downplayed, she’s the captain of the schools’ swim team.
%%* NiceGuy
* OnTheRebound: To Jake after the events of “Homecoming”.
* RedHerring: She's the main suspect for the identity of the siren who's trying to kill Jake. [[spoiler: She's not. The real siren is framing her]].
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler: She's Jake's new love interest after the events of "Homecoming".]]

[[folder:Jasmine]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/LaceyChabert
->''"I had a really nice time, except for the whole, you know... Sorry. Again."''

A girl that went on a date with Jake in “Dragon Breath”, unbeknownst to him, she is actually [[spoiler: a nix he fought earlier]]. She only appeared in season one, but was quite popular with fans.
----
* BadDate: Not her fault as much as Jakes’ for ignoring her curfew and not considering Jasmine’s magical background, but she still takes responsibility for how it went.
--> '''Jasmine''': ”So, um, I'm not sure how to put this, but... I'm sorry [[spoiler: I tried to suck the souls of all of your friends at the dance”.]]
* BeautyMark: She got one beneath her left eye.
* DudeMagnet: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Every. Single. Guy.]] (even Spud) at the school dance is awestruck as soon as they lay eyes on her, Brad Morton in particular, much to his dates’ chagrin (and eventually Jasmines’ as well).
* {{Expy}}: While it may just be a coincidence, she bears an uncanny resemblance to Creator/JunjiIto’s ''Manga/{{Tomie}}''.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: Her eyes briefly glow red when near moonstones in Magus Bazaar and again when a picture is taken of her]], both [[spoiler: hinting at her nix nature]].
* MemeticBystander: Shows up in a few episodes as a background character throughout season one, including in “Bodyguard Duty” where she can be seen amongst a crowd of spectators.
* PutOnABus: Appears as an important character in only one episode. Justified in universe, as she mentions she’s only in New York for a few days to visit family.
* SplitPersonality: Justified as the [[spoiler:{{Lunacy}} of her race turns her into a [[SoulEating soul-sucking]] monster.]] Her regular personality [[NiceGirl doesn’t have a bad bone in her body]].
* TrophyWife: Downplayed, as it's a case of trophy date rather than a wife. Brad pursues her because she's the "most beautiful girl" at the dance, ditching his original date in the process. Similarly, but in a much lighter way, Jake dated her so he could impress Rose.
* WomenPreferStrongMen: Played with, Jasmine seemingly doesn’t mind seeing Jake turn into a dragon and then rough up a goblin and an ogre for the sake of Fu. Maybe justified from the elevated position of dragons in the magical community.

[[caption-width-right:300:“Hey, Haley. I just wanted to wish you good luck at the dance audition tomorrow. You'll need it.”]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LilianaMumy

A fellow ChildProdigy and Haley’s rival. She’s the current owner of Yan-Yan (aka “Miss Tinkles”).
----
* ArtShift: In Season 1, she had bright orange curly hair pulled into pigtails. In Season 2, her hair is a darker shade and now in a straight ponytail, and she now has YouthfulFreckles.
* AlphaBitch: A grade school variation. She constantly taunts and looks down on Haley, and isn’t afraid to resort to foul play to get what she wants.
* AttentionWhore: She’s on par with Haley. It was the main reason she always brought “Miss Tinkles” to Show and Tell.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She’s always comes across as kind and polite to her older peers. Even Jake thought she was just a “sweet little girl” when first meeting her, much to Haley’s indignation. It’s only after he switches bodies with Haley that he realizes just how cruel Olivia can be, especially to his sister.
* ChildProdigy: Like Haley, she’s skilled in a lot of things, particularly violin and ballet.
* {{Expy}}: Arguably of Mertle Edmonds from ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries''. They even share the same voice actress!
* TheRival: To Haley. They both constantly compete to see who is the better ChildProdigy and get all the attention from their peers.
* TrueBlueFemininity: In both seasons, her outfit mainly consists of the color blue. The only exception to this is her [[PinkIsFeminine pink ballet outfit]].

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WendieMalick
Jake's paternal aunt and Jonathan's younger sister. She only appears once during season one, and is briefly mentioned in season two.
----
* AmicableExes: Exaggerated, her relationship with Stan Lipkowski is very affectionate even after many years apart, to the point where it looks like they’re dating again (their evening plans definitely qualify as one).
* CoolAunt: Her relationship with both Jake and Haley is on the friendly and affectionate side.
* InterspeciesRomance: She dated Stan during their college years in the 80’s and might be doing it again. Justified, since she doesn’t know he’s a troll.
* LennonSpecs: Patchouli regularly wears a pair of these.
* MayDecemberRomance: Exaggerated with Stan, he mentioned in “Old School Training” that he hadn’t seen Fu Dog in hundreds of years, so he’s naturally centuries older than Patchouli.
* PutOnABus: She only appears in one episode, justified as it’s implied that she doesn’t live in New York.

[[folder:Susan's Family]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/73475b0b_2d56_4969_88d9_facb210b7490.jpeg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Amy Hill (Aunt Cathy)
Susan and Lao-Shi's part of the family, all magical dragons. It goes back at least three generations.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: While a the only explicitly named members of the family are Aunt Cathy, Uncle Lee, Cousin Greggy and his younger brother Andrew, according to [[http://jeffgoode.com/tv/americandragon/02season/213.htm Jeff Goode’s website]], the elder members of the family’s names are Aunt Mai, Great Aunt Chiu and Great Uncle Wing, while Greggy’s younger sisters are named Carrie and Montana.
* BabyFactory: Downplayed, but Cathy has five children of different ages.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Zig-zagged, while the family meets once a year for a reunion and maintains an air of civility, Lao-Shi directly says that the family have a strong tendency to end up in [[DinnerAndAShow a huge fight with each other, fists optional]]. The eldest generation even see the buildup as more entertaining and enjoyable than the socializing, as they treat it like a sports event. Though while they don’t get a long, at least they don’t use their dragon powers on each other.
* CannotKeepASecret: The elder generation of the family (Lao-Shi’s) can’t keep their magical nature hidden, in fact, most of the time, they’re not even trying to. As Susan so eloquently put it, “For Pete’s sake, I couldn’t even enjoy my own wedding reception!”
** One relative casually used his fire breath to heat food at Susans’ wedding.
** Another brought a box of 99 Garden Gomes as a wedding present and then unleashes them in full view of Jonathan.
** A third, although unintentionally, transforms into a dragon every time she sneezes, which is a regular occurrence.
* TheClan: Not as clear cut as other examples of the trope, but their dragon ancestry and accompanying responsibilities binds them together, albeit loosely and not without troubles, see BigScrewedUpFamily above.
--> '''Jake''': "We’re a family of dragons punk! You can threaten us all you want!"
* ClashingCousins: Clashing everything in at least three generations of the family in fact. Special mention goes to Jake and Greggy and Susan and Cathy.
* DotingParent: Cathy towards her children, especially Gregory.
* DragonAncestry: They’re all dragons, however not all are gifted with the powers.
* DreadedKidsTable: Filled with the snot-nosed youngest generation of the family. And the others after they ended up in a huge fight.
* FamilyDisunion: Good grief yes.
* FantasticRacism: Cathy openly mocks Susan for marrying Jonathan, a normal human.
-->'''Cathy''': ”Right, the non-magical husband.”
* {{Foil}}: The family got a few besides Jake and Greggy.
** Cathy and Susan; neither have the dragon powers but their eldest sons’ are both dragons. But where Susan supports her son and his decisions while still having a strict side to discipline Jakes’ behavior, Cathy tells Greggy what to do and thinks he’s a brave and able dragon despite the overwhelming evidence against it.
** Haley and Cathy’s younger children (especially Andrew); while the former is mature and tries to treat others with respect, the latter are bratty but generally acts their age.
* {{Jerkass}}: The whole family is guilty of this, though they usually mask it under either a civilized veil/snide remarks or pranks. When called out on it, the behavior can easily erupt into fistfights. It’s to the point where Jake prefers dealing with Tiburon and his goons over socializing with his relatives (The sharkpeople prefers prison to dealing with them).
* MeaningfulName: Great Aunt Chiu is the one who uncontrollably shifts into her dragon form every time she sneezes. Also doubles as a PunnyName.
* RichBitch: Aunt Cathy in a nutshell. She owns the island in Florida where the family reunion is held and doesn’t treat either Susan or Jake (who is a fully fledged and experienced dragon at this point) with any respect.

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/WillFriedle

Jake's annoying younger cousin who just mastered his dragon form.
----
* AttentionWhore: He's worse than ''Haley''.
-->'''Greggy''': No way I'm letting Jake steal my glory!
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Not surprisingly, he steals Jake’s: “Dragon Up”.
* ClashingCousins: With Jake, whom he treats like garbage because of his ego.
* {{Foil}}: To his older cousin, Jake. Both of them are from the same family and have a certain ego, but Jake is more mature in comparison as well as experienced while Greggy is still a newbie and lets his ego get the better of him.
* GreenAndMean: A downplayed version. Greggy's main color scheme, in and out of dragon form, is green and while he's a {{Jerkass}} he does have his better moments.
* HateSink: He's not the villain of the episode, but after all his JerkAss behaviors like constantly belittling Jake, essentially cheating during their dragon contest, abandoning Jake when he's attacked by Tiburon and his gang, and trying to take all the credit for Tiburon's defeat when Jake had actually saved his life, who wouldn't be on Jake's side when he finally gets so fed up that he pounces on Greggy at the end of the episode?
* JerkAss: An immature, annoying teen with an even bigger ego.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Greggy may be an annoying jerk but during his race with Jake around the island he was ''technically'' right that they were supposed to go around ''once'', which made Greggy the winner since Jake went around more than once.
* OutgrowingTheChildishName: With him getting his dragon powers, he insists on being called Gregory instead of "Greggy".
* SmallNameBigEgo: Thinks that since he has JUST mastered his dragon form, he's more experienced than Jake.
* UngratefulBastard: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. He does thank Jake after he's rescued from nearly drowning, but as soon as Jake gives him the ''tiniest'' bit of credit for helping save the day, his ego comes back full force and he then claims that ''he'' saved ''Jake''.
* YouthfulFreckles: Greggy has noticeable freckles and is ''very'' immature for his age.

[[quoteright:278:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rosefamil_4313.PNG]]

Rose's unnamed mother, father and twin that she was kidnapped from at birth.
----
* AdultFear: [[spoiler: Having one of your daughters kidnapped right after her birth, with you unable to do anything to help her has got to be rough]].
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Rose's twin. She was never seen again after her short amount of screen time when she was a baby. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Supposedly her whereabouts would've become a plot point had the show been allowed to go on for another season]].
* IHaveYourWife: Sort of. [[spoiler: The family isn't actually being held hostage, but The Huntsman knows exactly where they are. And he will have them killed if Rose does not obey]].
* NoNameGiven: None of their names are ever revealed.
* ParentalAbandonment: Not that they had any choice in the matter...
* StrongFamilyResemblance: It’s obvious that Rose gets her good looks from her mom.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Witches of Woodstock]]
Bubonica, Monica and Annika are a trio of witches that lives on a secret island and fall instantly in love with any man they see.
* AerithAndBob: Annika and Monika have normal names, Bubonica doesn’t.
* AlchemyIsMagic: The Witches brew potions that can destroy even the most powerful magical objects. Each of the witches have a specific task in the potion brewing: Monika stirs the cauldron and keeps an eye on the contents. Annika picks out the ingredients and adds them to the cauldron. Bubonica adds the final ingredients and finishes the potion.
* AllWomenAreLustful: Downplayed, the witch trio falls instantly in love with any man that comes to their island, age isn’t a hindrance for them (they find Lao Shi attractive) nor species (Fu Dog), and they will gush over every single positive trait they believe their crush possesses. Though this doesn’t stop them from teasing the guy if he messes up or giving him critique. Nor do they seem to find males that’re hostile towards them attractive, such as mountain goblin thieves.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Annika, Bubonica and Monica (In that order) fits this to a T.
* CuteWitch: Their perky and flirtatious attitude combined with their youth makes them this.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Although they’ll gush over any man they meet, they’re really not onboard with cheaters and liars, whom they’ll shun even after they make amends.
* GirlishPigTails: Annika’s haircut.
* HotWitch: Naturally Downplayed for a Disney cartoon, but this is Jake’s opinion as the trio is far more attractive and younger than he thought they’d be.
* IslandOfMystery: Downplayed, the witches live on a secret island magically concealed in the Hudson River, but they’re the only magical creatures on it.
* MagicCauldron: They brew their magic object destruction potions in one of these.
* TheWeirdSisters: There are three witches, but they’re really quite pleasant girls.
* YouthfulFreckles: Annika has them.

->'''Voiced by''': Clarence Williams III

The Dragon of Africa and one of the members of the world's Dragon Council.

* ArtShift: Not hit hard with it in his human form, only getting taller and having a different wardrobe, but his dragon form changes drastically. In season 1, he was brown and had four wings on his back, while in season 2, he's down to a single pair of wings, have gone purple and sports a pair of goats' horns.
* BreathWeapon: Unlike other dragons, Andam breathes lightning bolts.
* DistressedDude: In "The Halloween Bash", he's captured by the Huntsclan and almost slain.
* MinorMajorCharacter: As a member of the Dragon Council, he's essentially one of the leaders of the Magical World, but he only appears in about 3 or 4 episodes.
* ShockAndAwe: Courtesy of his BreathWeapon.

[[folder:Councilor Kulde]]
[[quoteright:221:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/councekild_7867.PNG]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JeffBennett

The Dragon of Europe and one of the members of the world's Dragon Council.

%%* BreathWeapon
* CoolOldGuy: Zig-zagged, while he enforces the rules of the Order to the letter, Kulde is also substantially more pleasant and understanding than Chang, he’s even willing to bend the rules at times if the situation calls for it.
* DistressedDude: In "The Halloween Bash", he's captured by the Huntsclan and almost slain.
* {{Foil}}: Arguably, to Chang. Unlike her, he shows a genuine supportive side towards Jake, and sees a lot of potential in him. And while he may respect the rules as much as she does, he's not afraid to bend them once in a while for those who've earned it.
* AnIcePerson: Unlike most in the dragons in this series that breathe fire, Councilor Kulde is an ice dragon.
* MeaningfulName: Kulde is Norwegian, Danish and Swedish for "cold" reflecting his BreathWeapon.
* MinorMajorCharacter: As a member of the Dragon Council, he's essentially one of the leaders of the Magical World, but he only appears in about 4 episodes.
* NotSoAboveItAll: In "The Halloween Bash" he was initially so disappointed in Jake for throwing a party mixing magical creatures and humans that he and the other councilors [[spoiler:takes away his powers for good]]. However after being saved from the huntsclan by [[spoiler:all of the partygoers]], he's more than happy to join in on the fun.
* ShutUpHannibal: Gives one to Chang in "The Halloween Bash", when [[spoiler:she doesn't want to give Jake his dragon powers back]].
-->'''Chang:''' But his lack of discipline--\\
'''Councilor Kulde:''' Is exactly what saved ''you'' from becoming someone's prey.

[[folder:Sara and Kara (the Oracle Twins)]]
[[quoteright:295:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/orctwins_4417.PNG]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/TaraStrong

Twin sisters who are descendants of the Oracle of Delphi. Sara sees only bad visions, but is always cheery because, when all she sees is bad, just the slightest good thing can make her happy. Kara sees only good things, but is always depressed because all of the pleasant surprises are taken away.

* BlackComedy: Sara is a source of this. The very first thing she does when she meets Jake is to cheerily ask him if he wants to know when he's going to die.
* BlessedWithSuck[=/=]CursedWithAwesome: In "Bodyguard Duty", it's implied that Kara and Sara feel this way about their powers respectively.
-->'''Kara''': When you only see ''good'' things, nothing's special anymore. All the pleasant surprises are taken out of life.\\
'''Sara''': ''But'', when you only see bad stuff, even the smallest bit of good news makes you happy!
* CuddleBug: As part of her Genkigirl tendencies, Sara likes to hug others, such as Jake.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Bodyguard Duty", in which the whole episode is about Jake having to protect them from a goblin crime boss.
* DeadpanSnarker: Kara’s general response to people’s shenanigans.
* DemotedToExtra: After being relatively important recurring characters in season one (getting major roles in "Bodyguard Duty" and helping Jake defeat Chang and the Dark Dragon in "Hong Kong Nights"), they only appear in minor roles in two episodes in season two.
* FamousAncestor: Fu Dog says that they might be descended from the Oracle of Delphi.
%%* FieryRedhead: Kara has auburn hair and is the most violent of the two.
* {{Goth}}: Kara in season two.
%%* GranolaGirl: Sara
* HairContrastDuo: In season two, the preppy Sara is a blonde and the moody Kara is a dark-haired goth.
* HugAndComment: Sara hugs Jake as a thank you for agreeing to protect the twins in “Body Guard Duty”, then tells him about a bad vision she’s had (immediately afterwards he slips in a box of newt eyeballs).
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Played straight in season one, then averted. In the first season they just dressed differently, although in Season 2, they are given drastically different designs.
%%* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Kara in Season 2.
* InSeriesNickname: Only used by Fu, who refers to the two as “Little Miss Sunshine” for Sara, while Kara gets two: “Dame Downer” and “Miss Gloom and Doom”.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Kara is moody and antisocial, while Sara is constantly cheerful.
* PowerIncontinence: Neither of the sister can control when the visions hit them, they’re not even safe in their own dreams from the future. Kara also points out once they see a vision about someone else they have to tell it to them, no sugarcoating or lying at all.
* PowerStereotypeFlip: Both have [[PowerIncontinence randomly occurring]] visions of the future. Kara is a dour {{Goth}} who can only see the good things about to happen while Sara is a perpetually sunny {{Pollyanna}} who can only see the bad things about to happen. This is actually explained in the show as the former having all the joy sucked out of life since every good surprise is spoiled for her ahead of time, while the latter can't help but be happy since every second the horrible things she sees ''aren't'' happening is absolutely fantastic in comparison.
* PropheciesAreAlwaysRight: Their visions always come true except for when [[ExecutiveMeddling Disney Channel Executives tell them that one of their visions is going to be false]].
* ProphecyTwist: While their PropheciesAreAlwaysRight, some of them aren't as expected. (An example is Sara predicting Jake would get hit with a boulder moving at 180 mph. When it actually happens, though, Jake is moving the same direction at ''179 mph'', so the relative difference in speed results in the impact being as light as just a tap.)
* RedheadInGreen: Saras’ look in season one consisted of a green dress, which was in contrast with her red hair.
* RedOniBlueOni: Sara is the chipper, optimistic Red to Kara’s stoic, pessimistic Blue.
* {{Seers}}: Both of them; Kara can only predict good events, while Sara can only predict bad ones.
* TheStoic: Downplayed with Kara, she does show emotions, but they’re relatively stunted compared to people around her (and especially her sister).
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Kara and Sara, respectively.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: In season two, the sisters' designs are given DivergentCharacterEvolution -- they go from having the same features but dressing differently to Sara being a tall blonde and Kara being a shorter goth.

[[folder:Stacey Wintergrin]]
[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stacey_8769.PNG]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/TaraStrong

A cheerleader at Jake's school who is one of three co-captains of the squad. Spud is helplessly obsessed with winning her heart and constantly tries to do so. [[spoiler: He succeeds...kind of...]]

* AccidentalHandHold: Happens twice between her and Spud in “Bring It On”. While he develops feelings for her because of it, what’s her response?
-->'''Stacey:''' Ew, it ''touched'' me!
* AlphaBitch: Although this seems to be played straight most of the time, this trope appears to be subverted at the end when she reveals that she was genuinely touched by Spud's attempts to win her heart.
* TheCaptain: Very downplayed, she shares the position of captain of the cheerleaders with her two best friends, Lacey and Tracey.
* CharacterDevelopment: Yes, the shallow AlphaBitch thankfully gets this. [[spoiler: Eventually she dumps enough of her shallowness to date Spud in secret, it develops to the point where he’s her graduation partner too, showing Stacey has become more serious about their relationship and isn’t ashamed about her feelings for Spud anymore. Considering that earlier in the season, she fled after accidentally touching his hand, this is a big step]].
* TheCheerleader: She's the cheerleader co-captain, so this is a given.
* DanceBattler: Justified, as her figthingstyle is based on cheerleader moves.
* TheFashionista: Loves fashion as much as Tracey and Lacey.
* GiveGeeksAChance: [[spoiler:She genuinely falls for Spud in the end and agrees to be his girlfriend, but insists on keeping their relationship a secret (at least at first). Baby steps...]]
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Pre character development this was inverted as she was both mean, shallow and condescending. Eventually becomes a downplayed case though.
* HiddenDepths: "The Rotwood Files" reveals that she [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan has a thing for sweet, sensitive guys]], something that you wouldn't expect from a girl like her.
* TheLeader: The charismatic type for the trio consisting of her and her two best friends/cocaptains Lacey and Tracy.
* MuggingTheMonster: In her first episode, when they couldn't pass before a wall without insulting it, she and her teammates insulted ''Fury''. They got off easy, given they were just brainwashed...
* NotBrainwashed: Spud thinks she's under some kind of spell when she briefly dates Nigel (not without justification, considering Nigel's more manipulative side). She's not, but she's also not romantically interested in Nigel.
* OnlyOneName: Subverted. It isn’t until the episode “[[Recap/AmericanDragonJakeLongS02E15TheRotwoodFiles The Rotwood Files]]” that we finally learn her last name during an ImagineSpot of Spud’s.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Is never seen nor mentioned in season one, only for the beginning of season two to establish her as not only a cheer team co-captain, but also the object of Spud's affection.
* SecretRelationship: [[spoiler: Her decision to have one with Spud at the end of "Furious Jealousy" where they dance together in a janitor’s closet (all while Trixie and Jake try to cheer up Spud when they think he’s hiding in there alone)]]. By the time of "Being Human", it’s no longer a secret, as [[spoiler: Spud]] is her official graduation partner and she gladly walks arm in arm with him on the stage.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Whenever she's not putting on an act of being self-absorbed in front of the other cheerleaders, she's actually rather kindhearted and willing to accept Spud as a good person and a boyfriend. In "The Rotwood Files," she even first showed interest in Spud when she mistook his OnionTears for ManlyTears, finding sensitive guys attractive.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Although most often seen in her cheerleading uniform, Stacey favors blue casual wear, such as shirts and jackets, and dresses.

* ArtShift: In season 1 she looked like a normal human from the waist up, while in season 2, her skin and hair had turned various shades of green.
* BrainyBrunette: Averted in season 2, but played straight in season 1 at least, she's pretty smart.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears in "Halloween Bash" at Jake's party.

A dimwitted giantess that Jake befriends during the Grand Equinox Hunt.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RobPaulsen

An unlucky leprechaun that Jake befriends during the Grand Equinox Hunt.

* ButtMonkey: How else would you describe a really unlucky leprechaun?
* CosmicPlaything: It's one thing to be so unlucky he never wins a coin flip. It's another to have a tiny raincloud spontaneously appear over him, just to get him wet and strike whoever's near with lightning.
* {{Leprechaun}}: And one with really bad luck at that.

A brownie that Jake befriends during the Grand Equinox Hunt. Do not set off his temper.

* AmazonChaser: He has no problem with women taller (which is pretty much everyone) than him.
--> '''Reggie'' (To Courtney): “I’m whatever you want me to be, dollface, Oi!”
* CharacterDevelopment: He actually becomes more levelheaded at the end of "the Hunted" as instead of charging three Huntsclan members like he wanted to, he lures them into a trap. He also seems to hate people less.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Reggie makes appearances in both "Dragon Summit" where he fights Jake and as a party guest in "Halloween Bash".
* FieryRedhead: He's redheaded and what he lacks in size he makes up for in his temper.

* ObfuscatingDisability: She was in a wheelchair for all of her appearances. Turns out, [[spoiler:it's because she's a mermaid]].
* PuttingThePalInPrincipal: Downplayed, Derceto isn’t above being stern with them, but she ultimately on good terms with all her students. She listens to her students’ grievances, takes note of their changing behaviors, supports them and gives out second chances if she thinks they’re warranted, even after being lied straight to her face, which she naturally takes in stride.

* FriendlyNeighborhoodSpider: She’s a firm ally of the dragon team, calling them when there’s trouble in Magus Bazaar, assist in infiltrating a beauty pageant or helping fight against the Dark Dragon.
%%* MinorMajorCharacter
* NiceGirl: She is super nice to Jake. He even mentions he would have taken her to the dance if not for her legs.
* ProjectileWebbing: Being half-spider, she can shoot web from her rear to capture opponents. Her web is strong enough to subdue a dragon, like Chang.
* ShipTease: She and Fu mutually flirt with each other a lot, although nothing really seems to come of it. And no, the fact that she's part spider is ''not'' a turn-off for him. It is for Jake, though.
* SpiderPeople: Has spider legs from the waist down. Something that greatly disturbs Jake.

->'''Voiced by''': Ron Masak

The current Grim Reaper and Fu Dog's old buddy. Just because he'll one day claim your soul doesn't mean he isn't a pretty cool dude.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Wears a dark robe and is a red eyed skeleton, he’s also amicable and friendly.
* DemBones: Naturally he’s made of this, but it doesn’t stop him from digesting food or being flatulent. He lampshades it by using it as a component in his pranks.
* DontFearTheReaper: Is a generally pleasant guy; Fu in particular adores him.
* TheDreaded: Subverted, Marty is the current Grim Reaper, so people naturally react fearfully when meeting him, however he’s pleasant company once people get to know him. This even applies to himself, as he might once be challenged for the position and fainted at the prospect of another Grim Reaper.
* TheGrimReaper: Duh. He didn't always hold the title though, and thus typically had a bunch of dead-end jobs (pun intended) before he got this one.
* ThePrankster: Loves to pull pranks. Fu finally manages to pull one on him by dressing up like a new Grim Reaper and implying that he's there to replace him.
* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: Apparently, this is the way one becomes the Grim Reaper in the first place.

* HiddenDepths: He isn't as secretive as he seems, and is shown to be a good guy.

* ArmorPiercingResponse: His response to why he sold out to the Huntsclan:
--> '''Broccomus''': ”Same reason you (Jake) did, for the gold of course.”
* BenevolentBoss: He’s not unfair to his employs in terms of payment, treating them nicely or looking out for their health, like making sure Jake isn’t in Dragon From when delivering to the Huntsclan.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: A rather mild, non-villainous version. He makes a sale to The Huntsman, telling an angry Jake that it's "just business". Of course, then he finds out what was inside the box that he sold The Huntsman.
* EveryManHasHisPrice: As Broccomus is willing to trade with the huntsclan, he definitely has a price.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He isn’t on board with trading in a Crystal Skull to the Huntsclan.%%* {{Leprechaun}}
* FatBastard: He’s on the heavy side and does not shy away from illegal transactions, even with the Huntsclan.

->'''Voiced by''': Edie [=McClurg=]
->''"Prepare to taste fairy dust, DIRTBALL!"''
The one and only Tooth Fairy, a little, stocky and unfailingly polite woman.

* AllLovingHero: Played with, the Tooth Fairy is so nice and pleasant, that she even flies right up to the [[spoiler: Dark Dragon]] and offers him a toothbrush if he acts nicely and surrenders immediately.
* BerserkButton: Don’t mess with her dress if you know what’s good for you!
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Is generally amicable to friend and foe alike, even getting betrayed by Dr. Diente doesn’t anger her that much, push her berserk button however…
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She had starring roles three times in season 1, but not once did she appear or was mentioned in season 2, [[spoiler: despite offing the Dark Dragon]].
* CoolCrown: More a case of creepy crown, Toothfairy almost always wears a “tiara” that takes the shape of gums and teeth similar to the models at dentists’ offices.
* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: The Dark Dragon messed up her dress when he hit her, she kills him by burying him alive under tons of bricks]].
* DragonSlayer: [[spoiler: She offs the Dark Dragon in season one]].
* BenevolentBoss: Based on how she talks to Dr. Diente (both before and after he betrays her) she’s this.
* MadeOfIron: She’s surprisingly durable for a little fairy, she takes a hit from the Dark Dragon and while bruised, is short a tooth and with bent wings, she’s still conscious and fighting on.
* MagicWand: She has a small wand topped by a tooth, which she can use to control… teeth.
* MinionMaster: A heroic example, her tooth minions are strong enough to face off against Shade Dragons.
* MinorMajorCharacter: She seems to be one of the more important magical characters, as she acts as judge on Pandarus Beauty pageant in “Eye of The Beholder” alongside Jack Frost and Santa Claus.
* MookMaker: A rare heroic case, whomever holds her wand can make tooth minions out of the teeth she has collected.
* NoodleIncident: Fu Dog once lost his left molar to her in a bet.
* ThisMeansWar: Basically her reaction to having her berserkbutton pushed by the Dark Dragon.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: She’s only known by her title.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KariWahlgren
->''"Hey, I am a shark '''woman''', my sharkness doesn’t define me"''
An amicable female member of the sharkpeople, guardian of Poseidons' trident and occasional ally of the dragons.
----
* BerserkButton: A minor one, as her character quote makes clear, she doesn’t take well to people focusing on her sharkside.
* BigEater: A literal case as some of the things she eats are surprisingly big, infact almost the same size as herself. Though Considering her races’ penchant for devouring anything, this isn’t by choice.
* BlindDate: In “Something Fishy this Way Comes” she’s one of the women that turns up for a date with Lao-Shi. It was a [[BadDate very brief date]] since she both cuddled a terrified Lao-Shi and [[HorrorHunger ate part of the couch]].
* EarlyBirdCameo: She has one in “Something Fishy this way comes” which also establishes her races’ eating tendencies.
* ImAHumanitarian: While she’s a very pleasant individual, she once [[spoiler: ate Trixie and Spud]]. [[spoiler: They got back out alive]]. Kinda justified, considering that her peoples’ instincts mean she didn’t do it voluntarily.
* HiddenDepths: Despite her claims of being “just a beginner” she’s very skilled at card games, beating Fu and three others in “Nobody’s Fu” at “Go Fish”. She’s apparently also something of an information broker in the magical community.
* {{Irony}}: While she’s definitely the nicest member of the sharkpeople seen, she’s also the only one that exhibits their horror hunger tendencies.
* MakingASplash: Thanks to Poseidons’ trident, she could hold Tiburons’ sharkmada captive and deliver them to sharkprison.
* MsExposition: She explains a few things about Sharkpeople and Neptunes’ trident. Justified since she a member of one and guards the other. In “Nobody’s Fu” she turns out to be sort of an information broker for Fu Dog, though will only provide services if he wins against her at cards.
* NiceGirl: Pleasant, apologetic and polite to others.
* NoNameGiven: She’s never named even though she has a speaking role in three episodes.
* OstentatiousSecret: She knows where Neptune’s trident is hidden and wants to keep it that way.
* PinkIsFeminine: Occasionally she wears a pink shirt when she’s on land.

!Magical Creatures

[[folder:Dragon]]
One of the most powerful of magical creatures, charged with guarding the magical world from being discovered by humans and any other threats to it.

* AbsurdlySharpClaws: All dragons have them and it’s a literal case: Jake once cut through a rope simply by stepping on it. Aside from battle, they’re also useful for digging or slicing vegetables.
* AchillesHeel: According to the Huntsclan dragons have a “soft, squishy underbelly” which is easily targeted, but the real weak spot is behind the left ear. If struck there, a dragon is instantly slain.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Dragons come in all sorts of colors, red, pink, green and blue being the most often seen variations. This also applies to the spikes and spines on their backs which usually contrasts the rest of their bodies.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Dragons are held to be the most powerful magical creatures in the world, perhaps as a result, they’re the designated guardians of the magical community. Their status within the community means that they’re looked up to as leaders of it.
* BareFistedMonk: Most dragons refrain from using weapons, as their natural abilities are enough to deal with most threats. This doesn’t’ stop them from improvising when needed though.
* BigGood: Through the Dragon Council, all dragons are designated protectors of the magical community defending it from threats from within and without. It’s to the point that only two dragons throughout history have gone evil.
* BreathWeapon: A given, comes in the usual [[PlayingWithFire fire breath]] form, but also diversify into [[ShockAndAwe electric]] and [[AnIcePerson ice]] flavors. This breathweapon seems to originate in their stomachs and can as such be used as {{Fartillery}} as well.
* {{Contortionist}}: Downplayed, but dragons are quite flexible in their dragon forms due to their serpentine bodies, case in point: Lao-shi once tied himself into a knot trying to fight Rose.
* DelightfulDragon: Depends fully on the dragon and the circumstances, but given their magical protector status, they’re generally benevolent, except to those that cause trouble.
* DinosaursAreDragons: Averted, Dragons are not related to dinosaurs, although Rotwood believes that they’re an magical offshoot.
* TheDreaded: Played with, several magical creatures are afraid of facing dragons and will sometimes back down immediately. Justified, given what dragons are capable of. Others treat dragons with indifference and or makes a point of fighting them because of their strength. Occasionally it can cross into {{TerrorHero}} territory, but it’s not the dragons’ main way of dealing with opponents.
* FangsAreEvil: Averted, dragons have fangs, they’re just not evil by nature. Played straight with the Dark Dragon and Chang though.
* {{Flight}}: All dragons, with or without wings, can fly, no exception.
* GiantFlyer: Downplayed, dragons aren’t necessarily humongous in size, although they can easily be about 8-10 feet in height.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Considering dragons are basically a magical police force or rather Secret Service, this is sometimes a given. They’re expected to either thwart, disrupt, prevent, fight, or if necessary, kill, any and all threats to the Magical Community. This can be defeating the Huntsclan, destroy a magical monster or mindwiping their closest friends simply for knowing about magic.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: Averted, Dragons come with different types of wings for flight, bat, bird or even butterfly wings, but they’re not indicative of their moral alignment, which is, with very few exceptions, good.
* InterspeciesRomance: Dragons are capable of having children with humans, without HalfHumanHybrid offspring because their magic is dominant. Interestingly, the ethnicity of the non-magical human can affect the child's appearance, as with Jonathan being American of European descent, his son and daughter [[LineageComesFromTheFather appear as Western Heraldic dragons]] instead of Eastern ones like their maternal grandfather. The fact that no one even bats an eyelid at Jake's parentage indicates Dragons have been doing this ''[[MuggleMageRomance for a very long time.]]''
* KryptoniteFactor: A textbook example: Dragons are weakened by sphinx hair in the same fashion as Superman is to kryptonite. This is however a strange case, as in season one, Dragons were only weakened when in physical contact with the sphinx hair. This changed in season two where the they were weakened to the point that they reverted to human form, even at a distance.
* LightningBruiser: Dragons are fast and powerful, basically flying tanks. They can fly up to about 179 miles pr. hour when exerting themselves.
* MagicalEye: A surprisingly versatile part of the dragons' {{SuperSenses}}, all dragons can activate this ability at will, whereupon their eyes glow red or yellow and they gain several useful abilities. These include the ability to [[InnateNightVision see in the dark]], being able to see things over great distances in minute detail or spot specific tracks, such as footprints or even what another person has touched, like a piece of paper with handwriting.
* NaturalWeapon: Several: Claws, check, fangs, check, [[TailSlap tail]], check, dragon breath, double check. Depending on the situation, even the tongue can be useful in combat.
* TheOrder: All dragons are members of the Dragon order which is charged with safekeeping the magical community and have done so for thousands of years. The Order is ruled by the Dragon Council, which consists of five members from across the world. The council delegates assignments and task to the world dragons, provides their members with various information, send agents that help the local dragons, assigns masters to all dragons and tests the orders members in various ways, which is all on top of doing their own magical duties. They also judge the individual dragon and can take away their powers if the individual commits a crime or fails the Order in any way, this can be for good or temporarily depending on the offence. The order even has a private base, Draco Island, to use for summits, training ground and council meetings. On a number of points, the Dragon order is inspired by the Jedi Order from Franchise/StarWars.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Aside from blending both western and eastern variants, these dragons have several unique [[ComboPlatterPowers traits and powers]]. An example where they differ is the appearance of their wings, which range from normal bat-like, to those of birds or even butterfly wings and whether they have any or not, or even have a double pair of them. They also sometimes resemble different animals, such as fish, lizards, snakes or deer. In addition to this, their lifespan doesn’t appear to be lengthened like other fictional dragons, instead aging like normal humans do. However, elderly dragons can still be physically powerful opponents, as exemplified by Lao-shi and Chang.
* OverlyLongTongue: Jake has shown to extend his to be as long as his own height in human form, perhaps longer. It’s both dexterous and versatile, essentially an extra hand kept in their mouths.
* PowerAtAPrice: Downplayed, being dragons comes at a cost, but the price isn’t constant and can at times be more of a nuisance than truly detrimental in the long run. That isn’t to say that it can’t be dangerous depending on the coping methods.
** As dragons mature the glands in their mouths that enable their breathweapon starts to stink horribly, which as mentioned is only a temporary thing and recedes after a while. Until then, they might as well have a sewer in the mouth.
** A dragon's skin needs to molt every ten years or so, which looks [[BodyHorror extremely disgusting]] and isn't comfortable either. Though by using Spud and Trixies' 100 uses-cream, the molting might be a downgraded problem in the future.
** Dragons naturally become stressed due to the massive pressure they’re under, both physically and mentally. Being responsible for guarding a hidden magical world, constantly being on the lookout for threats, serving the community in different ways, in addition to dragon training, while also leading normal lives as humans, is an immense workload and extremely stressful. Naturally, dragons can find it hard to cope with that side of the job. Haley nearly cracked under the pressure in two weeks!
* SelfDuplication: Dragons can make physical doppelgängers out of their [[LifeEnergy chi]] for diversions or [[MundaneUtility chores]].
* {{Shapeshifter}}: According to Lao-shi, dragons are natural shapeshifters, but usually only from human to dragon form. They can transform fully or [[DraconicHumanoid partially]], granting them great versatility without being discovered by humans in the process. The ability to shapeshift into other individuals or creatures can be accessed by using a magical potion, but for the 24 hours it lasts, their normal dragon powers aren’t accessible and they’re thus vulnerable to enemies.
* SuperSenses: Dragons can amplify certain senses, such as hearing, enabling them to pick up individual sounds for eavesdropping and espionage or enhance their eyesight to enable night vision or tracking objects and people.
* SuperStrength: All of them are extremely strong, Jake has been seen lifting a giant (and several other magical creatures at once), while Haley have bitten through thick cables without much problem.
* SuperToughness: Justified, as they’re magical in nature. Besides their scales being extremely tough, dragons have taken being slammed into brick walls and gotten up like it was nothing. This also manifests in a resistance to heat and cold, as they don’t appear to take damage from other dragons’ fire breathing and can move with minimal discomfort during cold weather, like a snowstorm or even in arctic regions like Greenland.

[[folder:Aztec Guardian Serpent]]
[[quoteright:294:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/AztecGuardianSerpent_9180.PNG]]

This large snake guards one of the missing Aztec Skulls and has an innate ability to get the skull back if it is taken.

* AntiVillain: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type IV]]. Its job is to guard an Aztec Crystal Skull, and so to it, Jake is just as much a threat as the Huntsclan is.
* CoolCrown: It has a golden one, which used to be topped by one of the Aztec Crystal Skulls.
* FeatheredSerpent: Quite possibly, it's hard to tell though due to the animation style.
* HealingFactor: The serpent can regenerate lost parts of its’ body, such as the rattle at the end of its’ tail that waas ripped off by Jake.
* LightningBruiser: Huge as it is, the serpent is also very fast, keeping up with a flying Jake.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: The Huntsman uses the serpent to track down both the missing Aztec Skull and Jake, then cuts it down with his staff.

A magical creature that is terrorizing a village of sprites. While on a camping trip with his dad and friends, Jake has to defend the village from it.

* AnimalisticAbomination: It’s a mixture of different animals, it got moose antlers, wings, a doglike head, eagle wings and a lions’ tail.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Mr. Long drives it off a cliff. Possibly subverted, though, 'cause it can fly.
* ItCanThink: While it’s not capable of speech, it’s smart enough to lure someone into their own traps.

A magical creature that escaped from its prison in Mermaid City so it could drain all of Jake's strength. The #2 threat to the magical community.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Can feed off of a multitude of magical creatures to gain their abilities, including dragons.
* TheDreaded: After hearing its shriek in the middle of the night and going out to investigate, Jake finds some magical creatures running away in abject terror. Justified, as the Kelpie is both the #2 greatest threat to the magical community and eats other magical beings.
%%* MonsterOfTheWeek
* SadlyMythtaken: A fish person who steals others' magical powers is a far cry from the man-eating horse of British folklore.
* SerialKiller: Essentially, considering it's fed on plenty of magical creatures based on how often it shapeshifts and Silver's dialogue pretty much confirms that the victim dies if the Kelpie finishes feeding, although Lao-Shi himself survives the Kelpie feeding on him enough to shapeshift into him.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: It's pretty much a horror movie monster, stuck in an episode about the wacky hijinks that ensue from Lao-Shi dating Principal Derceto.

* DepravedKidsShowHost: His show hypnotizes small children into doing amoral acts.

An ancient magical creature that sucks the life out of its victims to stay young. The #10 threat to the magical community. In the episode "Young At Heart", Jake, Trixie and Spud are its unfortunate victims.

* EldritchAbomination: While it's [[HumanoidAbomination vaguely humanoid]], it is also huge, has the head of a fish, tentacles coming out of its back and sucks the youth out of people, adding to its own lifespan.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Haley even remarks that she could have gone without its guts raining down on her.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: It's very weakness is its own tentacles. Getting touched by them will cause its FamilyUnfriendlyDeath above.
* LifeDrinker: Uses its’ tentacles to suck out the youth from its’ victims turning them older.%%* MonsterOfTheWeek

[[folder:Nix]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4cd3e1df_da20_446b_b11d_80c8eaf7af8a.jpeg]]

A dark magical creature that sucks out people's souls.

* {{Lunacy}}: The cycle of the moon forces a Nix to shapeshift, see below.
* FangsAreEvil: They get these and are inherently dangerous because of their Horror Hunger.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: They have a pair of dark frayed ones.
* HorrorHunger: Nixes can [[SoulEating drain the souls of people]] and leave them in a zombified state. This can however be undone by knocking them unconscious.
* LightningBruiser: They’re both fast and strong enough to go up against dragons, at least for a short while.
* NaturalWeapons: Claws and tail.
* NonMaliciousMonster: At least with Jasmine, it seems that Nix are not evil by nature, but rather are compelled to drain human souls when the moon reaches the center of the sky.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Their eyes flash like this when either agitated, in a downright berserker mood, get photographed or are affected by the moon.
* {{Shapeshifting}}: Nixes are forced to transform from human into their Nix form, gaining wings, claws, fangs, snakebodies and general axe-craziness. The process is by no means pleasant for them.
* SnakePeople: Nixes have scales and the lower body of a snake.

[[folder:Shadow Dragons]]
A race of creatures that resemble dragons which are in service to the Dark Dragon. The #11 greatest threat to the magical community.

* CastingAShadow: While they’re not casting any spells, their entire bodies are composed of living shadow.
* HenchmenRace: The Shade Demons are only ever seen serving the Dark Dragon as his [[{{Mooks}} footsoldiers]].
* WeakenedByTheLight: [[LogicalWeakness Logically]] since they’re made of shadow: a bright flash of light destroys them. The fact that a camera can take them out makes it a {{WeaksauceWeakness}}.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TressMacNeille (Queen Liliana), Creator/DeeBradleyBaker
A type of Romanian vampire that feeds upon dragons. Four appeared in the series, Queen Liliana and her three sons, hunting Jake.
----
* AbsurdlySharpClaws: Strigoi have them and they’re sharp and strong enough to rake dragon scales!
* AbusiveParents: Played with, Liliana doesn’t shy away from insulting her sons and slamming her coffin lid in their faces, but due to their horror hunger, they’re in a hurry. That, and her sons aren’t the best at understanding her instructions.
* AffablyEvil: Downplayed, the three sons can be civil, to the point of appearing in a photo for a child, but that’s about it. When it comes to possible prey, the civility is just [[FauxAffablyEvil pretending]] in order to lure the dragon to lower their guard.
* BladeOnAStick: The trio that went after Jake used a spear with a lock of Sphinx hair attached to it.
* TheBrute: The large Strigoi with the shades definitely qualifies: he’s big, silent and violent.
* TheDragonSlayer: Offscreen, but they’ve managed to take down at least three World Dragons, possibly many more given the huge casefile Fu had on them. Given the nature of dragons in this setting, this doubles as a case of {{HeroKiller}}.
* TheDreaded: Fu Dog is instantly scared when he hears they’re in New York and so is Jake after hearing of their accomplishments.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: The Strigoi are constantly catering to their mothers’ needs, aside from small stuff like pushing her wheelchair and drive her around, they’re actively searching for food for her. Justifed on a practical level as they’ll have a hard time finding dragons without her.
* EvilRedhead: All Strigoi have carrot red hair and hunts dragons, they’re pretty bad.
* [[spoiler: FamilyExtermination]]: [[spoiler: Jake subjects the four Strigoi to this via magical solar sand. Justified, since it was self-defense.]]
* FangsAreEvil: Naturally, they have fangs, but unlike other vampires where only the canines are actual fangs, their other teeth sharpen significantly when they’re moving in for the kill.
* FantasticRacism: They freely refers to dragons as beasts and doesn’t seem think of them as more than that, despite seeing Jake transform into humanform and even having some banter with him.
* FreudianTrio: Downplayed, the three brothers doesn’t show much personality, but they do have shades of one that’s giving the orders (the one with the spear, AKA the Ego), one that’s slightly silly (the adorkable one, AKA the super Ego) and the brute (the big one, AKA the Id).
* {{Flight}}: It’s implied that they can do this, as Fu Dogs’ book shows them attacking a dragon in flight.
* HorrorHunger: Their thirst for blood is bad enough for the victims, but when they haven’t fed for a while, they’re weakened to the point that they become lethargic and frail, to the point where they can be confined to wheelchairs or feel like it’s 200 degrees in the shade for them.
* ICallItVera: One of the Strigoi brothers calls his fangs “Lefty and Bitey”.
* LeanAndMean: All Strigoi are on the skinny side and are open to being cruel to their prey.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Justified as they’re a different type of vampire, stakes and garlic doesn’t work on them, the only way to kill them is exposure to [[WeakenedByThelight direct sunlight]]. They also don’t seem to reproduce by turning their victims but are instead born like normal people, since they have a regular family structure. This aside, they still [[MissingReflection lack reflections]].
* ScarilyCompetentTracker: Queen Liliana can track dragons through her psychic abilities. Her sons aren’t as gifted.
* SinisterShades: The most brutish of the Strigoi sports a pair.
* VampiresAreRich: Implied at least, they drive a limo and have no problem convincing Jonathan that they represent a foreign company.
* VampireMonarch: Queen Liliana is a literal case over her three sons, but she seems to keep her position because she’s the groups’ mother, not because she’s more powerful.
* VampiresSleepInCoffins: Queen Liliana does this when travelling due to her condition.
* VampireVords: They have a distinguished eastern European accent and claims to have their own language, they do not, however, engage in {{FangSpeak}}.
* WouldHurtAChild: If the child happens to be a dragon, then you bet they’ll hurt a child. Kinda Justified as a dragon can fight back and it’s their {{HorrorHunger}} that requires them to do the killing. But kicking them when they’re down is overdoing it.

[[folder:Troll]]
A type of magical creature from Scandinavian folklore that tends to live in sewers. Often turn up as background characters.
----
* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: A gang of Biker trolls appeared in “Keeping Shop” terrorizing Magus Bazaar [[ForTheEvulz for the hell of it]].
* ArtShift: In season one, they were green and stout, while in season two, their appearance tends to be muscular, topheavy, hairy and simian.
* DumbMuscle: Exaggerated, Strong enough to restrain dragons and not that bright, they can’t even tell two dragons apart and doesn’t take offence to Changs’ summarization of them:
--> '''Chang''': "The great thing about Trolls: Dumb as custard and yet so helpful at the little things, like the will to domination, and slaying dragons!"
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: The biker trolls take good care of their mama when she’s turned to stone. Also serves as their {{BerserkButton}}.
* InsubstantialIngredients: Played with, Troll Belches are a reagent in some potions such as the shapeshifting-potion and the portal-potion. This, however, is a strange case of the art evolution between seasons, as in season ones’ “Shapeshifter” the belches were a slimy liquid (and sounded like a belch), but by seasons two, the ingredient had become immaterial (but still with sound intact).
* {{Mooks}}: Pandarus employed a group of them in season one. In season two, Jake paid a few to join him against the Huntsclan in “Fools Gold” and in “Nobody’s Fu” Chang convinced a group to work for her.
* OurTrollsAreDifferent: Some trolls, like Stan Lipkowski, have only one eye and their fur turns into monsters when burnt, either by fire or sunlight instead of turning to stone. This type of troll can also live several hundred years.
* TakenForGranite: What happens when regular trolls are exposed to sunlight: Instant ugly statue.
* WeaksauceWeakness: They get turned to stone by sunlight.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Goblins]]
A race of magical creatures that are notorious for their criminal activities and sneaky character.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Goblins come in various shades of green and blue.
* BecomingTheMask: Happens to a goblin that was sent to infiltrate a middle school disguised as teenage girls (it makes sense in context). His boss Herbert wasn’t amused afterwards.
* BlackMarket: Goblins run the magical counterpart of this.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Fairly regular opponents and background characters in season one, come season two, they’re gone without a trace, largely supplanted by Hobgoblins and Leprechauns.
* DepravedDwarf: About the height of a child-teenager and devoid of morals, goblins are a race of this. This is however downplayed, as they can act in a civil and even friendly manner, such as during the party in “Halloween Bash” and later joining the fight against the Huntsclan.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Averted. There’s absolutely nothing goblins won’t do, dealing with the Huntsclan, hustling a dog for treats they owe, kidnapping people and force them into working for them is all fair game, so long as there’s a profit to be made. Lampshaded by Fu:
--> '''Fu Dog''': “Using a magical gift to try and turn a profit. Will those Goblins stop at nothing?”
* FaceOfAThug: Squashed features, heavy brows/sloping foreheads and fanged mouths, goblins got this one down.
* TheMafia: Befitting a G-rated cartoon, it’s a downplayed case. Goblins mainly run illegal gambling operations, black market or money/dog biscuit lending (with some subsequent ogre-assisted depth collecting). Though they will stray into the realm of kidnapping and enforced servitude if it’s profitable.
* TheNoseKnows: They can track other creatures based on their scent, such as Dragons and oracles. This makes them notoriously hard to sneak up on, but can also be [[WeaksauceWeakness used against them, as their noses are also very sensitive to strong odors or stench]].
* BenevolentPrecursors: Goblins are stated to have been around for 2 million years. It’s implied that they were a lot more righteous back then, as well as magically attuned, such as [[SealedEvilInACan imprisoning]] a malevolent Djinn and letting a magical spell be passed down through the ages, making it was possible to reseal the Djinn again if it was ever freed.
* OurGoblinsAreDifferent: These goblins usually have tails, are a bit reptilian and has a very good sense of smell. But similar to goblins in other settings, they’re still criminals, hustlers and rogues. A subspecies, the Mountain Goblins, are nearly identical to Hobgoblins with their grey skin, armor and sharp features, but they also have batwings on their backs which they use to fly.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Hobgoblins]]
A race of magical creatures that dress in armor and resemble grey skinned orcs. The #7 biggest threat to the magical community.
----
* BullyingADragon: A literal case, as they’ve done this with both Jake and Hailey on separate occasions. In Jakes’ case, he was in human form, so it built up from {{MuggingTheMonster}}.
* CarryABigStick: Hobgoblins seems to prefer big clubs.
* DumbMuscle: Unintelligent and brutish, they’re basically magical hooligans.
* FantasticRacism: Some have shades of this towards humans.
* ForTheEvulz: Destroys cars and the like with bullyish laughter. Also takes on dragons for the same reason.
* LeanAndMean: Hobgoblins are all on the skinny side and as mean as vipers.
* LooksLikeOrlok: Aside from the medieval armor and not being vampires, Hobgoblins exhibit this trope, as they have grey skin (pale), are lean, [[SinisterSchnoz have freakishly long noses]], [[PointyEars pointed bat-like ears]] and some has [[FangsAreEvil fangs]] as well.
* MightMakesRight: Readily uses threats to get what they want.
* {{Mooks}}: They’ve been used in this fashion by both Jake and the magical authorities.
* OurOrcsAreDifferent: While not called orcs, Hobgoblins have multiple similarities to Tolkiens’ classic version of them, as they’re shown to be largely unintelligent, belligerent, grey skinned, ugly, hunchbacked mooks that are smaller than adult humans. Unlike the classic version, they’re not {{AlwaysChaoticEvil}}, as they’re at the least capable of living alongside other magical creatures and be (somewhat) productive members of society (See “Mooks” above).
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ogre]]
Large and powerful magical creatures.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: They come in shades of green, blue and grey.
* TheBigGuy: They tower over most other creatures and are extremely strong, which means they often find employment as [[HiredGuns thugs, bouncers, gladiators, guards]] and sports’ stars.
* FictionalSport: The ogre signature sport is called Boulderball and revolves around scoring a goal using a giant boulder as the ball, thrown between the contesters. It’s the favorite sporting event in the magical world, despite how violent it is on the field, how dangerous it can be for the spectators (sometimes the boulders gets thrown into the crowd) and how long it can take (one match had 17 rounds before it entered quadruple overtime).
* GreenAndMean: Many are greenskinned and the vast majority have a penchant for violence.
* LongLived: If Maximinus (who fought as a gladiator in ancient Rome) is anything to go by, ogres can live for hundreds, if not thousands of years without aging significantly or going past their physical prime.
* OpposingSportsTeam: Whatever teams are playing Boulderball are this to each other, it’s that violent!
* UnnecessaryRoughness: The ogres’ signature sport, Boulderball, is filled with this, and not just the players, sometimes the spectators get in on the fighting too. Even the referees aren’t guaranteed to not be [[GrievousHarmWithABody enveloped]] in the brawls that occurs between contestants.
* StoutStrength: Ogres are largely big around the waist and [[SuperStrength strong enough]] to hurl boulders that are larger than themselves at high speeds (up to 180 miles pr. Hour).
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Giant]]
Huge, strong and stupid magical creatures.
----
* TheDitz: They’re not terribly bright and are easy to trick.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In season one, giants were noted to be surprisingly gentle and benevolent, bordering on {{SuicidalPacifism}} at times, as a whole community of giants got enslaved by a group of normal human wrestlers in “Ring Around The Dragon”. A few, such as Bertha, does not follow this entirely though. In season two, giants are more violent and remarkably dumber. Additionally, in the first Season, aside from their size, they were indistinguishable from normal humans. In the next season, courtesy of {{ArtShift}}, they’ve gained coarser and sharper features (including ears), underbites and have grey or green skin tones.
* GentleGiant: Averted in season two both because the giants are ignorant about their surroundings (causing heavy structural damage simply by hopping along) and increased aggression.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: A literal case as these giants come on different sizes, some being only twice to trice the size of a normal human, while others tower over buildings.
* PracticalCurrency: Some secluded giant communities in the wilderness have a currency based on fish. Though it seems, more urban giants prefer leprechaun gold.
* SuperStrength: An eight-year old giant can match strength with a dragon, that can lift a giant! The adults are even stronger!
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Shark People]]
A race of magical creatures that are half-shark and half-human; although this allows them to walk on land, they mainly live in the oceans. They will eat anything. Anything!
----
* BladeOnAStick: Several members of Tiburons’ Sharkmada were armed with spears.
* ExtremeOmnivore: With a dash of {{HorrorHunger}}, normal food aside, they’ll eat anything, ANYTHING, be it couches, rubberboats, chainsaws, anchors, license plates, ancient artifacts, people, at a moment’s notice without warning. A small part of this is {{TruthInTelevision}} since some shark species will indeed eat anything or examine things by biting them.
-->'''Jake''': [[spoiler: "You hid it (Neptunes’ trident) in your stomach?"]]\\
'''Shark Woman''': "I told you; We’ll eat anything!"
* HiddenDepths: At least according to Sharkwoman, the race is far better than their first impressions.
--> '''Shark Woman''': "Despite our multiple rows of flesh tearing jagged teeth, we’re really a tender, loving race."
This statement itself is immediately afterwards undermined by her biting into a rubberboat or later when she gorges herself on a dinner table in front of a very surprised family of dragons.
* InformedAbility: Tiburon boasts that the Sharkpeople are naturally attuned to [[MakingASplash the sea and its’ powers]] or objects associated with them, like Neptunes’ trident. This is not elaborated upon, however.
* PreferJailToTheProtagonist: They apparently have their own “Sharkprison”. One of Tiburons goons’ reaction is this trope after listening to Susans’ family bickering (and fist fighting) for a few seconds.
* ScarilyCompetentTracker: Played with, Tiburons’ Sharkmada managed to find Jake, Fu and the Sharkwoman without much trouble. Downplayed as it did take them a while and Justified as [[TruthInTelevision sharks indeed have a very good sense of smell]].
--> '''Tiburon''': "We’re sharks, we followed our [[TheNoseKnows noses]]"
* SharkFinofDoom: Tiburon and his Sharkmada’s first appearance is this.
* SharkMan: Naturally. And they come in different types too, such as Bullsharks, Hammerheads and Reefsharks. Unlike other examples of this trope, in addition to the fin on their back, some sharkpeople sport an extra fin coming out the back of their heads. They also have webbed [[FourFingeredHand four fingered hands]].
* ThreateningShark: Naturally given their {{Extreme Omnivore}} nature and [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily sharp flesh tearing teeth]], but also the setting of the episode “Feeding Frenzy”, which is a private island off the coast of Florida Keys.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Elf]]
A magical creature from north European folklore.
* CuteLittleFangs: The diminutive type of elves have them, and they’re adorable.
* HiddenInPlainSight: The human looking elves can walk amongst humans without getting detected, which mean they can attend human schools or have normal jobs (Three are employed by Susan as part of her catering company).
* {{Magitek}}: Paired with {{TheEngineer}}, Elves have their own scientific organization that produces innovative magical devices which are based on present day technology. The organization is called [[FunWithAcronyms “N.E.R.D”]], which stands for '''N'''ew '''E'''lven '''R'''esearch in '''D'''evelopment. Fu dogs’ description/summarization of them isn’t flattering:
--> '''Fu Dog''': Bunch of Tech dweeb elves working on inventing new magical objects, talk about putting the Eek in Geek!
** One of their more dangerous devices was the reality warping game controller from “Game On” which had to be destroyed.
** According to Lao Shi, a group of elves were allegedly also the creators of the Taranushi Chalice which held a Djinn trapped, but this was false, and the true creators were actually goblins.
* MindOverMatter: The human looking elves seemingly have the power of telekinesis as they can make objects float.
* OurElvesAreDifferent: They come in at least two different kinds, one that’s the stereotypical diminutive Santa’s elf, but with fangs and tails that make them resemble little monkeys, while the other type is almost indistinguishable from humans except for the ears.
* PointyEars: All elves have these regardless of what type they are.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Leprechaun]]
A magical race of lucky little people from Ireland. They run a secret stock exchange in New York City.
* TheClan: Leprechauns are divided into different clans, such as the Arrergood, which is the clan Brocomus belongs to.
* CheapGoldCoins: Completely inverted and then taken up to eleven, in season one, a single leprechaun gold coin is worth about six hundred dollars.
* FictionalCurrency: Their gold coins in season two are perhaps even more valuable than in season one, since they come with magical effects, such as Simoleans with a soundtrack and lightshow! Naturally, the coins are highly valued by other magical creatures too.
* {{Greed}}: Implied in season one as they run their own secret stock exchange. Very prominent in season two with Brocomus and his clan, they’ll even deal with the Huntsclan if they offer enough!
* {{Leprechaun}}: [[SarcasmMode No one saw this one coming]], Naturally, Leprechauns are this trope and all the stereotypes are present, the Irish accent, short stature, red hair and beard (although they can also be blonde), the gold, luck, the shamrock, rainbows and the green clothes.
* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: They manufacture a lot of things out of Gold, clothes (all kinds, including shoes and undies), shades, skateboards and scooters (and even little carts for them with accompanying helmets), not to forget their famous gold coins.
* GoodLuckCharm: Subverted, it’s not the four-leaf clovers that gives the leprechauns their famous otherworldly luck, the ones in NY has an enchanted pot of gold that provides it. This also means that the luck can be passed onto whomever possesses it. When the Leprechauns aren’t in possession of the pot of gold, as seen in "The Heist", they’re pretty much doomed with lethal misfortune.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eb9b5ee4_9d66_45f6_8c4d_9a9b4dc7cf4c.jpeg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Matt Nolan

A jock at Jake's school. He constantly torments Jake and also tries to woo Rose whenever he gets the chance. It's eventually revealed that he got held back in 3rd-grade (twice!), making him at least two years than most of their other kids in his grade, including Jake and his friends.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: To say Rose isn't flattered by his interest one bit since standing her up is one thing.
* TheBully: Acts this way towards other kids, verbally putting them down or physically intimidating them, he’ll mock and be a jerk to anyone. Brad seemingly inherited this from his father who abuses his station to harass civilians.
* ButtMonkey: Brad gets humiliated repeatedly over the course of the series, more than often because he’s an idiot. Special mention goes to the time Brad was in charge of a cabin at a camp in "A Ghost Story" and he was humiliated by not only having to file a police-report with nothing to wear but a towel (courtesy of Jake), the police didn’t believe his story about ghosts and when he tried to run after them and make them reconsider, Brad loses his towel. To add insult to injury, Jake filmed the whole scene and showed it to the rest of the camp afterwards.
* CasanovaWannabe: Particularly towards Rose (and Jasmine) in season one, towards any pretty girl he can impress in season two. He doesn't appear to have any luck though, as he’s both too boastful, inconsiderate and about as charming as a dead fish. Not even the girl standing in the kissing booth in "Half-baked" reacts to his flirting, booringly eating a cupcake instead of paying him attention.
* TheDitz: He doesn't even recognize the word "parents" in a letter written on a sticky note. No wonder why he was held back in school twice.
%%* DumbMuscle
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Leaving Rose at the school dance for Jake's date.
* {{Flanderization}}: Brad was a [[JerkAss jerkass]] in the first series, but he was never outright hostile towards Jake. In the second series however, he goes out of his way to antagonize Jake at every opportunity. This is presumably done to make the instances in which he does [[LaserGuidedKarma get his commupence]] all the more satisfying.
* GenerationXerox: His dad is also a blonde and uses his authority as a cop to bully others by homing in on their minor flaws or transgressions.
* HateSink: He's a rude jerk with an ego who likes bullying Jake. That is all there is to know about him.
* HeldBackInSchool: As mentioned above, he got held back twice when he was in elementary, so he's at least two years older than the other students in his grade--plus, he gets his driver's license while still in middle school.
* HiddenDepths: Surprisingly he has these. In “Dreamscape” he dreams of being a ballerina. In “The Talented Mr. Long” he claims to have taken piano lessons for 12 years, he’s just a very bad student.
* JerkJock: Seriously, this guy makes ''[[Franchise/SpiderMan Flash Thompson]]'' look halfway decent by comparison.
* KickTheDog: Abandoning Rose at the school dance for Jake's date.
* NightmareFetishist: His reaction to a Nyx's eyes turning red and making an inhuman snarl? Playfully growl back. His reaction to a girl at a kissing booth turning into a Krylock mutant with lizard eyes, scorpion claws and a Xenomorph-like second mouth? "Jackpot!" It's entirely possible he's a literal example.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: He’s by far not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he’s rich enough to get a pro-skater to tutor/endorse him for a contest, problem is that he’s also a poor student at that.
* ThirdPersonPerson: He almost always addresses himself as "The Bradster". Professor Rotwood even lampshades this in "The Talented Mr. Long".
* UnmanlySecret: Aside from his dreams of being a ballerina, he’s also afraid of the dark.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrendaSong (Tracey) and Kay Panabaker (Lacey)

Two of the co-captains of the cheerleading squad at Jake’s school, and Stacey’s best friends.
----
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Downplayed, Tracy is the tallest of the Cheerleaders (whom Spud laud as all being beautiful) and is generally condescending towards others. She is also comparatively the more composed of the trio, as she doesn’t faint/is stunned at the sight of street clothes and tries to comfort Lacey after she does this, although she herself remains upset by the spectacle as well.
* AsianAirhead: Lacey is a Type I.
* BareYourMidriff: Their default dresscode, as their cheerleader uniforms leaves their stomachs bare, and in Tracey’s case her other clothes keep this theme going.
* [[BetaBitch Beta Bitches]]: Both of them to Stacey, a downplayed case since they’re her best friends and doesn’t act as if she’s better than them, nor does she demand much of them.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Both of them together with Stacey and Trixie, courtesy of Fury in "Bring It On", they were basically Fury’s personal teenage [[AmazonBrigade girl fight team]].
* TheCaptain: Shares the position with Stacey.
* {{Catchphrase}}: “Oh, totes!”
* DanceBattler: Justified, as their figthingstyle is based on cheerleader moves.
* DramaQueen: Lacey almost faints and must be told by Tracey to take deep breaths after they see Trixie’s favorite clothes (which consists entirely of street and hiphop garment).
* TheFashionista: They LOVE fashion and regularly dress to impress. Upon seeing the designer clothes Trixie's mom gave her, they can instantly tell the label, designer and that they're exclusives.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: It’s implied that Lacey might be this.
-->'''Tracey:''' The day I pay for facials is the day I believe Lacey’s as good a co-captain as me and Stacey.
* GirlishPigtails: Laceys hairstyle, perhaps mirroring her intelligence.
* MuggingTheMonster: In their first episode, when they couldn't pass before a wall without insulting it, they and Stacey insulted ''Fury''. They got off easy, given they were just brainwashed...
* NiceHat: Lacey briefly wore a stylish beret after the cheerleaders and Trixie got a manicure in "Bring It On".
* SatelliteCharacter: Exaggerated, they’re both this to Stacy and has no other role than that in the series, they’re only ever shown in her company.
* OnlyOneName: Unlike Stacey, we never learn either of their last names.
* ThoseTwoGirls: They are never seen without one another.

A cute swim team captain at Jake's school. After Rose moves to Hong Kong, Jake decides that Danika is the one for him once he decides to get back into the dating game.
----
* TheCaptain: Downplayed, she’s the captain of the schools’ swim team.

[[folder:Jasmine]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/LaceyChabert
->''"I had a really nice time, except for the whole, you know... Sorry. Again."''

A girl that went on a date with Jake in “Dragon Breath”, unbeknownst to him, she is actually [[spoiler: a nix he fought earlier]]. She only appeared in season one, but was quite popular with fans.
----
* BadDate: Not her fault as much as Jakes’ for ignoring her curfew and not considering Jasmine’s magical background, but she still takes responsibility for how it went.
--> '''Jasmine''': ”So, um, I'm not sure how to put this, but... I'm sorry [[spoiler: I tried to suck the souls of all of your friends at the dance”.]]
* BeautyMark: She got one beneath her left eye.
* DudeMagnet: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Every. Single. Guy.]] (even Spud) at the school dance is awestruck as soon as they lay eyes on her, Brad Morton in particular, much to his dates’ chagrin (and eventually Jasmines’ as well).
* {{Expy}}: While it may just be a coincidence, she bears an uncanny resemblance to Creator/JunjiIto’s ''Manga/{{Tomie}}''.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: Her eyes briefly glow red when near moonstones in Magus Bazaar and again when a picture is taken of her]], both [[spoiler: hinting at her nix nature]].
* MemeticBystander: Shows up in a few episodes as a background character throughout season one, including in “Bodyguard Duty” where she can be seen amongst a crowd of spectators.
* PutOnABus: Appears as an important character in only one episode. Justified in universe, as she mentions she’s only in New York for a few days to visit family.
* SplitPersonality: Justified as the [[spoiler:{{Lunacy}} of her race turns her into a [[SoulEating soul-sucking]] monster.]] Her regular personality [[NiceGirl doesn’t have a bad bone in her body]].
* TrophyWife: Downplayed, as it's a case of trophy date rather than a wife. Brad pursues her because she's the "most beautiful girl" at the dance, ditching his original date in the process. Similarly, but in a much lighter way, Jake dated her so he could impress Rose.
* WomenPreferStrongMen: Played with, Jasmine seemingly doesn’t mind seeing Jake turn into a dragon and then rough up a goblin and an ogre for the sake of Fu. Maybe justified from the elevated position of dragons in the magical community.

[[caption-width-right:300:“Hey, Haley. I just wanted to wish you good luck at the dance audition tomorrow. You'll need it.”]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LilianaMumy

A fellow ChildProdigy and Haley’s rival. She’s the current owner of Yan-Yan (aka “Miss Tinkles”).
----
* ArtShift: In Season 1, she had bright orange curly hair pulled into pigtails. In Season 2, her hair is a darker shade and now in a straight ponytail, and she now has YouthfulFreckles.
* AlphaBitch: A grade school variation. She constantly taunts and looks down on Haley, and isn’t afraid to resort to foul play to get what she wants.
* AttentionWhore: She’s on par with Haley. It was the main reason she always brought “Miss Tinkles” to Show and Tell.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She’s always comes across as kind and polite to her older peers. Even Jake thought she was just a “sweet little girl” when first meeting her, much to Haley’s indignation. It’s only after he switches bodies with Haley that he realizes just how cruel Olivia can be, especially to his sister.
* ChildProdigy: Like Haley, she’s skilled in a lot of things, particularly violin and ballet.
* {{Expy}}: Arguably of Mertle Edmonds from ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries''. They even share the same voice actress!
* TheRival: To Haley. They both constantly compete to see who is the better ChildProdigy and get all the attention from their peers.
* TrueBlueFemininity: In both seasons, her outfit mainly consists of the color blue. The only exception to this is her [[PinkIsFeminine pink ballet outfit]].

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WendieMalick
Jake's paternal aunt and Jonathan's younger sister. She only appears once during season one, and is briefly mentioned in season two.
----
* AmicableExes: Exaggerated, her relationship with Stan Lipkowski is very affectionate even after many years apart, to the point where it looks like they’re dating again (their evening plans definitely qualify as one).
* CoolAunt: Her relationship with both Jake and Haley is on the friendly and affectionate side.
* InterspeciesRomance: She dated Stan during their college years in the 80’s and might be doing it again. Justified, since she doesn’t know he’s a troll.
* LennonSpecs: Patchouli regularly wears a pair of these.
* MayDecemberRomance: Exaggerated with Stan, he mentioned in “Old School Training” that he hadn’t seen Fu Dog in hundreds of years, so he’s naturally centuries older than Patchouli.
* PutOnABus: She only appears in one episode, justified as it’s implied that she doesn’t live in New York.

->'''Voiced by:''' Amy Hill (Aunt Cathy)
Susan and Lao-Shi's part of the family, all magical dragons. It goes back at least three generations.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: While a the only explicitly named members of the family are Aunt Cathy, Uncle Lee, Cousin Greggy and his younger brother Andrew, according to [[http://jeffgoode.com/tv/americandragon/02season/213.htm Jeff Goode’s website]], the elder members of the family’s names are Aunt Mai, Great Aunt Chiu and Great Uncle Wing, while Greggy’s younger sisters are named Carrie and Montana.
* BabyFactory: Downplayed, but Cathy has five children of different ages.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Zig-zagged, while the family meets once a year for a reunion and maintains an air of civility, Lao-Shi directly says that the family have a strong tendency to end up in [[DinnerAndAShow a huge fight with each other, fists optional]]. The eldest generation even see the buildup as more entertaining and enjoyable than the socializing, as they treat it like a sports event. Though while they don’t get a long, at least they don’t use their dragon powers on each other.
* CannotKeepASecret: The elder generation of the family (Lao-Shi’s) can’t keep their magical nature hidden, in fact, most of the time, they’re not even trying to. As Susan so eloquently put it, “For Pete’s sake, I couldn’t even enjoy my own wedding reception!”
** One relative casually used his fire breath to heat food at Susans’ wedding.
** Another brought a box of 99 Garden Gomes as a wedding present and then unleashes them in full view of Jonathan.
** A third, although unintentionally, transforms into a dragon every time she sneezes, which is a regular occurrence.
* TheClan: Not as clear cut as other examples of the trope, but their dragon ancestry and accompanying responsibilities binds them together, albeit loosely and not without troubles, see BigScrewedUpFamily above.
--> '''Jake''': "We’re a family of dragons punk! You can threaten us all you want!"
* ClashingCousins: Clashing everything in at least three generations of the family in fact. Special mention goes to Jake and Greggy and Susan and Cathy.
* DotingParent: Cathy towards her children, especially Gregory.
* DragonAncestry: They’re all dragons, however not all are gifted with the powers.
* DreadedKidsTable: Filled with the snot-nosed youngest generation of the family. And the others after they ended up in a huge fight.
* FamilyDisunion: Good grief yes.
* FantasticRacism: Cathy openly mocks Susan for marrying Jonathan, a normal human.
-->'''Cathy''': ”Right, the non-magical husband.”
* {{Foil}}: The family got a few besides Jake and Greggy.
** Cathy and Susan; neither have the dragon powers but their eldest sons’ are both dragons. But where Susan supports her son and his decisions while still having a strict side to discipline Jakes’ behavior, Cathy tells Greggy what to do and thinks he’s a brave and able dragon despite the overwhelming evidence against it.
** Haley and Cathy’s younger children (especially Andrew); while the former is mature and tries to treat others with respect, the latter are bratty but generally acts their age.
* {{Jerkass}}: The whole family is guilty of this, though they usually mask it under either a civilized veil/snide remarks or pranks. When called out on it, the behavior can easily erupt into fistfights. It’s to the point where Jake prefers dealing with Tiburon and his goons over socializing with his relatives (The sharkpeople prefers prison to dealing with them).
* MeaningfulName: Great Aunt Chiu is the one who uncontrollably shifts into her dragon form every time she sneezes. Also doubles as a PunnyName.
* RichBitch: Aunt Cathy in a nutshell. She owns the island in Florida where the family reunion is held and doesn’t treat either Susan or Jake (who is a fully fledged and experienced dragon at this point) with any respect.

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/WillFriedle

Jake's annoying younger cousin who just mastered his dragon form.
----
* AttentionWhore: He's worse than ''Haley''.
-->'''Greggy''': No way I'm letting Jake steal my glory!
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Not surprisingly, he steals Jake’s: “Dragon Up”.
* ClashingCousins: With Jake, whom he treats like garbage because of his ego.
* {{Foil}}: To his older cousin, Jake. Both of them are from the same family and have a certain ego, but Jake is more mature in comparison as well as experienced while Greggy is still a newbie and lets his ego get the better of him.
* GreenAndMean: A downplayed version. Greggy's main color scheme, in and out of dragon form, is green and while he's a {{Jerkass}} he does have his better moments.
* HateSink: He's not the villain of the episode, but after all his JerkAss behaviors like constantly belittling Jake, essentially cheating during their dragon contest, abandoning Jake when he's attacked by Tiburon and his gang, and trying to take all the credit for Tiburon's defeat when Jake had actually saved his life, who wouldn't be on Jake's side when he finally gets so fed up that he pounces on Greggy at the end of the episode?
* JerkAss: An immature, annoying teen with an even bigger ego.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Greggy may be an annoying jerk but during his race with Jake around the island he was ''technically'' right that they were supposed to go around ''once'', which made Greggy the winner since Jake went around more than once.
* OutgrowingTheChildishName: With him getting his dragon powers, he insists on being called Gregory instead of "Greggy".
* SmallNameBigEgo: Thinks that since he has JUST mastered his dragon form, he's more experienced than Jake.
* UngratefulBastard: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. He does thank Jake after he's rescued from nearly drowning, but as soon as Jake gives him the ''tiniest'' bit of credit for helping save the day, his ego comes back full force and he then claims that ''he'' saved ''Jake''.
* YouthfulFreckles: Greggy has noticeable freckles and is ''very'' immature for his age.

----
* AdultFear: [[spoiler: Having one of your daughters kidnapped right after her birth, with you unable to do anything to help her has got to be rough]].
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Rose's twin. She was never seen again after her short amount of screen time when she was a baby. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Supposedly her whereabouts would've become a plot point had the show been allowed to go on for another season]].
* IHaveYourWife: Sort of. [[spoiler: The family isn't actually being held hostage, but The Huntsman knows exactly where they are. And he will have them killed if Rose does not obey]].
* NoNameGiven: None of their names are ever revealed.
* ParentalAbandonment: Not that they had any choice in the matter...
* StrongFamilyResemblance: It’s obvious that Rose gets her good looks from her mom.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Witches of Woodstock]]
Bubonica, Monica and Annika are a trio of witches that lives on a secret island and fall instantly in love with any man they see.
* AerithAndBob: Annika and Monika have normal names, Bubonica doesn’t.
* AlchemyIsMagic: The Witches brew potions that can destroy even the most powerful magical objects. Each of the witches have a specific task in the potion brewing: Monika stirs the cauldron and keeps an eye on the contents. Annika picks out the ingredients and adds them to the cauldron. Bubonica adds the final ingredients and finishes the potion.
* AllWomenAreLustful: Downplayed, the witch trio falls instantly in love with any man that comes to their island, age isn’t a hindrance for them (they find Lao Shi attractive) nor species (Fu Dog), and they will gush over every single positive trait they believe their crush possesses. Though this doesn’t stop them from teasing the guy if he messes up or giving him critique. Nor do they seem to find males that’re hostile towards them attractive, such as mountain goblin thieves.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Annika, Bubonica and Monica (In that order) fits this to a T.
* CuteWitch: Their perky and flirtatious attitude combined with their youth makes them this.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Although they’ll gush over any man they meet, they’re really not onboard with cheaters and liars, whom they’ll shun even after they make amends.
* GirlishPigTails: Annika’s haircut.
* HotWitch: Naturally Downplayed for a Disney cartoon, but this is Jake’s opinion as the trio is far more attractive and younger than he thought they’d be.
* IslandOfMystery: Downplayed, the witches live on a secret island magically concealed in the Hudson River, but they’re the only magical creatures on it.
* MagicCauldron: They brew their magic object destruction potions in one of these.
* TheWeirdSisters: There are three witches, but they’re really quite pleasant girls.
* YouthfulFreckles: Annika has them.

!Heroes/Team Dragon

[[folder:Jacob Luke "Jake" Long]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jake_long_season_2_3.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here for his dragon form]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jakes_s2_dragon_form_7.jpg]] [[/labelnote]]]]
[[caption-width-right:350: "From the J to the A to the K to the E, I'm the Mac-Daddy Dragon from the NYC, ya heard!"]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/DanteBasco

At thirteen (later fourteen) years old, Jake appears to be just your average skateboarding, comic book-loving teen. Unbeknownst to many, though, Jake is actually a fire-breathing dragon whose job is to protect a secret world consisting of leprechauns, mermaids, unicorns and other magical creatures.

* AchillesHeel: According to Fu Dog (and Jake himself), Haley is this. Also, as a dragon, he has a weak point located behind the left ear.
* ActOfTrueLove: In "Homecoming", [[spoiler: he wishes Rose was never taken by the Huntsclan, sacrificing his chance to have a relationship with her to not only save her life but give her the normal life she wants]].
* AffectionateNickname:
** His dad calls him "Jakers" and several other embarrassing nicknames.
** Trixie calls him "Jakie".
* AmbiguouslyChristian: He mentions in "Act 4, Scene 15" that Rose's condo is bigger than his church, but it's unclear if he meant that literally or was just using churches in general as a standard of comparison.
* AmazonChaser: After he, Trixie, and Spud accidentally walk in on [[ActionGirl Rose]] doing an intense workout in "Ski Trip", Jake excitedly comments on how Rose is "totally buff".
* AnimeHair: {{Justified}} and {{Lampshaded}} as a liberal use of gel.
* AntiHero: Mainly he acts like as a KnightInSourArmor. His tendency to use lethal force against some magical creatures might boost him up to a PragmaticHero, however he only does this when the magical creature in question is exceedingly dangerous or tough enough to handle blows.
* TheApprentice: Justified, part of his training for becoming a fully-fledged dragon, Jake is the dragon apprentice of his grandfather Lao-shi. This is a common practice amongst the dragons, but he’s the first to have a relative be the master (this is due to Lao-shi requesting it, as he feared that the Dark Dragon would seek out Jake later on).
* ArtEvolution: A pretty jarring case; in season 1 his dragon form is pretty big (resembling a Western dragon), but in season 2 his form is much more wiry.
* ArtisticLicenseChildLaborLaws: Jake is directly stated to have a job at age 14 to pay off his massive credit card debts from the events in "Young at Heart", stacking shelves at a grocery shop until the small hours. His constant excuse of helping out in his grandfathers’ shop before Trixie and Spud learned the truth in season One could also be an example. Trixie lampshades it at one point asking if the city doesn’t have child labor laws in New York.
** Additionally, both Jake, Trixie and Spud took a number of oddjobs to collect money to replace a broken vase in "Professor Rotwoods Thesis", one of them for a construction company, while another was painting an old house (they painted the wrong one).
** Not to mention that Jake took a job for Brocomus and his leprechaun clan in "Fool’s Gold", acting as both security/bodyguard and occasional salvage crew for which he was paid handsomely.
--> “Brocomus” (about Jake in relation to his clan) ”Our best good luck charm, like a fire-breathing four-leaf clover”
* BadassArmfold: He tries one of these after his first victory over the Huntsclan, it doesn’t work as he’s the victim of a [[ComedicUnderwearExposure wardrobe-malfunction]].
* BalloonBelly: More than once he’s had one.
** He briefly had one in “The Egg” from eating a factory full of peanutbutter covered eastereggs.
** He gained a more permanent one from going on an eating binge during “Furious Jealousy” because there weren’t many threats around for him to fight.
* BattleCouple: With Rose. While they more often fight each other, there are still moments when they fight as a team, such as against the Aztec Guardian Serpent in the opening of "Breakout" or against the Chimera in "Dreamscape".
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Normally, he's pretty laid back, but if you threaten the Magical World and make him think that his girlfriend has betrayed him, you just might end up being thrown into a steel elevator door.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Does genuinely care for Haley, though it doesn't show up often. Nonetheless, threaten her and you will be in for a ''world'' of hurt.
* BigEater: Shown to be this in "Furious Jealousy". Jake really likes his junk food. Also exemplified in "Flight of the Unicorn", where he turns it up to eleven by eating three servings of streetfood in a single mouthful, or a corndog that's been laying on the ground.
* BigOlEyebrows: Even more evident in season one.
* BookDumb: Justified and subverted, Jake is by no means stupid, but he doesn’t do well academically for several very good reasons.
** Jakes’ dragon duties together with the training leaves him little time to do his homework and sometimes directly interferes with his attendance at school, in season two, it has gotten to the point that he’s not even in the yearbook. In fact, Lao-Shi and Fu at times unintentionally sabotage his efforts to get schoolwork done, show up for school (not even to have his picture taken) or even stay awake in class. Examples include Fu who gets Jake to an Ogre Ball match (which went into quadruple overtime) or Lao-Shi by cutting up his homework with scissors to help visualize an old saying. That he also sometimes must do his dragon duties while at school, whether by being a bodyguard or by directly leaving school doesn’t help his case either. Prior to Jake assuming his dragon duties, he was noted by Principal Derceto to have been an honor student at his school.
** Another reason is the teachers, specifically Rotwood, a man who not only is an unfair teacher whom Jake naturally doesn’t get along with, but also doesn’t know his subject, magic and magical creatures, as well as Jake does. That Jake regularly antagonizes Rotwood right back or goofs off in class with his friends does not smooth things over.
* BreathWeapon: Fire, like most other dragons in the series.
* BrooklynRage: He speaks with a strong Brooklyn accent and is the American Dragon.
* BrotherSisterTeam: Occasionally. At other times, he and Haley are at each other's throats.
* ButNotTooForeign: Half-Caucasian, half-Chinese.
* CatchPhrase:
** "Dragon up!"
** "Aww man!"
* ChickMagnet: He has mutual attraction with Rose, who is his primary love interest. And during "Siren Says", he got into a LoveTriangle with Danika and Vicky.
** Then there’s Jasmine whom almost immediately agrees to a date with him and looks longingly after him as he leaves with Fu.
** Similarly in “Halloween Bash” a pair of harpies agree to help him for no other reason than “he’s hot”.
** Subverted with the Withces of Woodstock, who develops crushes on any man visiting their island.
** Downplayed with Sara, the first thing she tells him is that he’s cute.
* TheChosenOne: He's the first American Dragon. The theme song even calls him this word-for-word.
* ClashingCousins: With Greggy--err, Gregory. Jake dislikes him because of how big a jerk he is.
* ComedicUnderwearExposure: Jake suffers from this on several occasions.
** The very first episode does this after Jakes first run in with the Huntsclan, courtesy of Jake’s lack of control over his transformation into a dragon, Huntsgirl lampshades it for him. It happens again after the Huntsclan has been defeated and Jake is still unaware of it.
** A downplayed case happens in "The Academy" as well, to both Jake and Spud after they’ve entered the Huntsclan academy and are forced to run a hardcore obstacle course.
** A subverted case takes place in "Family Business" where Jake believes that he’s actually not in this situation, only to find out that not only is it not a dream, but the person that sees him in his undies is a photographer, who promptly snatches a photo for a major magical newspaper.
* CoolBike: Subverted, he once had a moped that he drove around school to brag, which was solid gold! He made sure Trixie and Spud had a pair too (and Spuds’ had a little cart).
* CoolBoard: Is a frequent skateboarder alongside his friends, and showcases legitimate skill many times over the series.
* ChildHater: Zig-zagged, he gets along great with most kids as shown in "A Ghost Story". He does however have a serious dislike of his younger cousins on his mothers’ side, which, considering their gross behavior and general childishness (especially Greggy), is a justified case.
* CrazyPrepared: Sometimes. Trixie couldn't tell if she was more disturbed from finding out he owns a leprechaun costume or that he ''brought it on the ski trip in which he didn't expect to have try and draw out Huntsgirl'' (he didn't know her identity yet).
* CreateYourOwnVillain: His adventures in time travel unintentionally landed a weaker member of the Hunstclan into a pit where he is almost mauled to death. That member grew up to be the Huntsman.
* CulturalRebel: Played with, Jake isn’t entirely on board with the division between the magical and the mundane world as the Dragon Council (and Lao-shi) expects the world dragons to be. Evident when he threw a party in “Halloween Bash” for both magical creatures and normal humans letting the two worlds mix (though not without snags here and there). A more obvious example is that he refuses to mindwipe Trixie and Spud, his best friends when they find out about the magical world, despite Lao-shi urging him to.
** Downplayed when it comes to his very limited knowledge about Chinese New Year traditions, as he’s not culturally Chinese but American, even if he’s ethnically Chinese on his mothers’ side.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Jake Long deconstructs WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld and DisappointingOlderSibling. Jake is TheChosenOne, the Dragon Guardian of an unseen magical realm constantly threatened by those that wish to do it harm. This means he is tasked with fighting the supernatural hating Huntsclan and keeping his dragon powers in top form. This causes him to have ''serious'' trouble at balancing his schoolwork, his social life, and his duties. His little sister Haley, who often mocks him for his goof-ups, gets an opportunity to be an American Dragon in the penultimate episode and is reduced to a scattered mess within a week because of how stressful it is. She realizes just how tough her brother has it thanks to everything he has to go through and [[CallingTheOldManOut then chews out both her grandfather and her dragon mentor]] for expecting young children to hoist huge responsibilities without time for fun or any kind of support.
* DisappointingOlderSibling: Jake is viewed as this by his family members due to his laziness and immaturity. This ignores the fact that his dragon responsibility is a major part of his life. This is deconstructed in an episode when Haley takes his place as the American dragon, and she sees how hard it really is. Then Haley gains more respect for her older brother.
* DragonAncestry: Jake is a dragon on his mother's side, and his grandfather and little sisters are dragons as well.
%%* DragonsUpTheYinYang
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Jake dresses up as a Huntsclan student to infiltrate their base in “The Academy” together with Spud, with entertaining and near catastrophic results. He repeats this tactic in “A Befuddled Mind” alongside Trixie, infiltrating Pandarus’ genius institute dressed as Ogre guards, [[PaperThinDisguise never mind they didn’t have the right size, shape or looks]].
* DrivingTest: In one episode, a magical creature turns Jake into an adult and he decides to take a driving test. His driving is so lousy the tester only passes him because he threatens to request the same tester for all next times he takes another driving test.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Not usually, but sometimes he doesn't get the respect he deserves, especially from Haley. At least until she tries his job for a while and realizes how ''hard'' it is...
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:The girl that he loves regains her memories of him, his dad finally knows his secret and is great with it, and he defeats the greatest foe to all dragons. Plus, with magic, he and Rose can do a long-dudistance relationship more easily]].
* EtTuBrute: Gets this in "Homecoming", when Fu Dog tells him that Rose has stolen the Aztec Skulls for the Huntsman. [[spoiler:He realizes that Rose was a FakeDefector when she calls on the destruction of the Huntsclan, and she frees him]].
* EveryoneHasStandards: While he often flirts with girls, he knows that women have to be treated with respect and tells Fu Dog he needs to stop treating the magical beauty contest contestants like objects.
* FakingTheDead: The only way he can escape the Huntsclan academy in "The Academy" is to ingest a poison that makes him appear skindead.
* FantasticTimeManagement: Played with. Justified and Subverted since Lao-Shi gets Jake a P.M.A (Personal Magical Assistant) named Pix Mc Gee in "Doppel Ganger Gang" to help him manage his schedule. Pix is a sentient calendar and also borderline {{DrillSergeantNasty}} towards Jake to get him to do all his chores (Dragon training and around the house). By the end of the episode, Pix does however praise Jake for scheduling his days and getting things done, thus mastering time management. However, it’s also a downplayed case, as his stress and workload are only marginally diminished afterwards, so Jake is still missing out on a ton of things in normal life, such as School photos, spending time with his friends or even getting enough sleep.
* FireBreathingDiner:
** During Season 1, a random human sees Jake's fire breath and thinks Jake ate spicy food.
** One episode of Season 2 features Jake eating fries so spicy he needs his fire-breathing to cool down.
* FirstKiss: Initiates his with Rose in Season 2’s "The Academy" right before they’re supposed to do a deathmatch. A quick peck on the lips before they fight. Points for making it memorable.
* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: His Halloween costume is his dragon form, out in public for all to see.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Zigzagged. While Jake's laziness and recklessness nature combined with Haley's ChildProdigy nature and maturity would make them the Foolish and Responsible Sibling, respectively, unlike Haley, Jake has shown to handle being the American dragon and handling enemies ''way'' better than she does.
* GenerationXerox: He's a lot how Lao Shi was when he was younger -- cocky, flirtatious, reckless, and show-offy.
* GenreSavvy: Downplayed, in "Bring It On" Jake realizes that something is wrong at Trixie’s slumberparty when the girls are being quiet. While Spud thinks this is because they’re sleeping, Jake reasons that Girls never sleep at slumberparties. He’s right.
* {{Greed}}: Temporarily, Jake had this in "Fool’s Gold" where he worked for a clan of leprechauns, getting paid in large amounts of leprechaun gold. He got better at the end. Unlike others fitting this trope, he’s willing to work for the money and still maintain his standards.
* GuileHero: For as much as his cockiness can get him in trouble, there are a few instances where he shows off just how clever he can be in battle, such as when he [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath calms a rampaging giant down by tricking him into thinking that the leprechauns he's angry at aren't really there]] in "Fool's Gold" or when he makes the Dark Dragon think he followed the villain's demands to give the world's dragons a mind control potion by switching the potion with a harmless novelty tea in "Hong Kong Longs".
* HalfHumanHybrid: Technically, as his mother is from a line of dragons ([[MuggleBornOfMages though not one herself]]) while his father is an average human. This doesn't seem to have any effect on his powers or the plot, though.
* HeartbrokenBadass: "Half Baked" is revolved around how Rose's disappearance at the end of "The Hunted" has [[HeroicBSOD wreaked havoc on his emotional state]].
* TheHero: The main character and his job is to maintain balance between the human and magical worlds.
* AHeroToHisHometown: He is the local Dragon of North America and is regarded as such by the Magical Community there. Though, not always as much as he would like.
* HumanMomNonhumanDad: Inverted, Jake's DragonAncestry is from his mother, while his father is a mundane human. Although, his mother is technically "human" as well, because the power of transformation skipped her generation.
* HumanPackMule: Downplayed, this is one of several uses’ Lao Shi finds for his grandson when they’re travelling abroad.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Enjoys being a dragon, but wants to enjoy all the aspects of growing up. Comes to a point in "Being Human" where he purposely gets himself in trouble to have his dragon chi confiscated so he can enjoy graduating middle school in peace.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Now and then he gets creative, like using a beach volley net like a pair of nunchucks against Huntsman in "Hero of The Hourglass" or in "Ski Trip" where he traps Huntsgirl by nailing her to a cliff with icicles.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Downplayed, he won’t show it, but Jake is definitely capable of several feminine pursuits, using his claws to make heart-shaped pillows (for Rose) or being competent enough with beauty-products to act as a passable stylist for a beauty pageant in “Eye of The Beholder”.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: "Family Business" implies that he has this, due to having a ChildProdigy for a little sister. Being the American Dragon is, in his own words, the one thing he's good at. So, when Haley begins her dragon training and starts outshining Jake, [[GreenEyedMonster well...]]
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Obviously, considering that he can transform into a dragon.
* InterspeciesRomance: Rose, a human, is in a relationship with Jake, who's true form is a dragon.
* IronicName: Despite his last name being "Long", he is noticeably [[TeensAreShort short]].
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: A non-romantic reason for the breakup. [[spoiler: Before Rose can fully sacrifice herself, Jake wishes that she was never taken by the Huntsclan. The result is her living a different life and their relationship being undone until she sees a picture of them from a dance and regains her other memories]].
* JamesBondage: He gets captured a lot. In one episode, he gets captured three times.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Jake is cocky, slightly rebellious, vain, and often shirks his responsibilities. However, he also has proven to be caring, loyal, and brave.
* JiveTurkey: This raised some controversy with his excessive use of street slang. Executive producer Eddie Guzelian admits that the bravado of Jake's character was shaped by Dante Basco's ad-libbing and their own writing, which was supposed to parody the "wannabe MTV gangsta" crowd. Naturally, it was toned down in season 2.
* KidHero: Jake is 13 (14 in season 2) and is TheHero.
* LethalChef: Zig-zagged, he can cook, but if Jakes’ mind is preoccupied, like when he was depressed about Rose, his food can be outright dangerous. In “Half-baked”, it’s mentioned that “Thankfully, the victims survived his peanut brittle with little damage to their braces”. “Victims” is never a good word when cooking’s involved!
* LoveAtFirstSight: When he first meets Rose.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Does this when he finds himself encountering the Huntsman in battle, often calling him either "Huntspunk" or "Huntsfool".
* TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife: Very much so, his dragon duties intercept all of his daily activities, including dating. In the case of Rose, it becomes a very complicated case, such as in "Act 4 scene 15" where both he, and Rose, repeatedly have to excuse themselves, change and fight over a Macguffin. As soon as Jake realizes that Rose is Huntsgirl, it instantly kills any further dates between them. That is until season 2 rolls around and they can go on dream dates.
** It also messes up his dates with Danica, at least initially, since he’s forced to suspect her of being a magical assassin.
* MaybeEverAfter: With Rose, thanks to the show being canceled while the two of them [[spoiler: are living in different countries]]. Though WordOfGod mentions that had there been a third season, Rose would've moved back to New York City and continued her relationship with Jake.
* MeaningfulName: The Chinese word for dragon is "long". Subverted because it's a coincidence. His surname comes from his father, who's neither Chinese nor a dragon.
* MistakenForOwnMurderer: When Trixie and Spud stumble upon photos of Jake turning into his dragon form, Spud assumes the dragon ate Jake. Trixie [[DownplayedTrope quickly points out the correct conclusion]].
* MixedAncestry: Caucasian on his father's side and Chinese on his mother's.
* MundaneUtility: His grandfather trains him by using his dragon powers to do house chores.
** Use his tail as a broom.
** Fangs make useful shears for bonsai trees.
** A long dexterous dragon tongue is effectively an extra limb, so it's useful for holding a toiletbrush.
* MulticoloredHair: Jake's natural hair color is black, but the top part of is green. Justified by the incredible amount of hair gel he uses.
* MultiEthnicName: Subverted. His first name is American while his last name is a common Chinese family name. However, the latter is from his father's side and he is not Chinese, making it the European version of the name.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: A lot of conflicts resulted from him not taking his job seriously.
* NutritionalNightmare: Jake really love his junkfood (corndogs, pizza, fishtaco, caramel popcorn and even things that neither Trixie nor Spud will eat). It’s to the point that he has a secret stash in his closet in case he loses any, which Trixie confiscates to make Jake change his unhealthy habits.
%%* OfficialCouple: With Rose.
* OneHeadTaller: Inverted. Rose is a little taller than him.
* PapaWolf: Inverted. Jake becomes enraged at the Jersey Devil for apparently killing his father.
* PalsWithJesus: Downplayed, but he’s on good enough terms with a few divine creatures.
** He’s familiar with Cupid and the baby-bodied god trusts Jake enough to leave his effects in the dragons’ care while Cupid is taking a break. Cupid doesn’t even mind that Jake abused his arrows, [[spoiler: which Cupid is so chill about, that he even offers Jake words of comfort, and ice cream, when it backfires]].
** Jake is also on civil terms with Marty the Grim Reaper, though Marty still freak him out.
* PlayingWithFire: He's capable of manipulating his fire breath to a great extent, forming it into hearts while sustaining the flame is a small example.
* PowerAtAPrice: In one episode, Jake drank a potion that temporarily gave him shapeshifting powers. Until it wore off, he couldn't use any of his other powers.
* PreMortemOneLiner: Gives one to the [[spoiler:[[OurVampiresAreDifferent Strigoi]], right before bathing them in sunlight]].
-->'''Jake:''' [[spoiler:Oh, coffee’s ready, what better way to greet the dawn?]]
* PrimaryColorChampion:
** His signature outfit consists of a red jacket with yellow markings, blue jeans, white t-shirt, and white socks.
** In his dragon form, his scales are mostly red with his stomach being yellow.
* ProtagonistTitle: The combination of his full name and his title as the American Dragon is the name of the show.
* RealMenWearPink: Downplayed, both because he isn’t overtly masculine, and he only shows a few feminine skills and interests. These include being very skilled at sewing (using his dragon claws to make pillows near instantly) or writing poetry (both for Rose). In addition to these he also writes a diary.
* RedIsHeroic: Tying with him being a PrimaryColorChampion, Jake's signature outfit includes a red jacket, and his scales are red in his dragon form.
* RoomFullOfCrazy: Played for Laughs, during his depressed spell over Rose missing in "Half Baked", Jake had multiple of walls with pictures of her (which went all over the ceiling too), which got both him and Spud kicked out of the monastery they’d joined.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Even when the Dragon council or Lao-shi orders him to do it, Jake refuses to erase Trixie and Spuds’ memories, after his two best friends finds out about the magical world (and sold him to Rotwood). A very good decision in hindsight, as they help both him, and the magical community on numerous occasions afterwards.
* SecretDiary: The episode “Fu and Tell” reveals that he has one. And he was less than pleased when Haley asked if she could bring it to school for Show and Tell.
* SecretIdentity: {{Downplayed}}, his identity of the American Dragon is only secret to the [[HunterOfMonsters Huntsman]]. Most of humanity are [[{{Masquerade}} kept in the dark]] about magical creatures and he has no problem transforming in front of antagonistic magical creatures.
* SmarterThanTheyLook: Jake isn’t stupid by any means, but his actions coupled with his pride and overconfidence make him out to be from time to time, but he still manages to outsmart several foes thoughout the series.
** He thinks three steps ahead and switches the stolen Leprechaun gold with a pot of gravy in "The Heist" to fool Pandarus who eventually caught them and retrieved the pot.
** Jake predicts and foils Rotwoods attempt at exposing the Magical world by scrambling his hidden digital camera in "Magic Enemy #1".
** In "Hong Kong Longs" Jake tricks the Dark Dragon into thinking the entire Dragon Order have been given a magical potion that nullified their powers, which would’ve made them easy prey for the Dark Dragon’s forces, by simply swapping the potion with a harmless one.
* SociallyAwkwardHero: Fighting magical monsters he can handle. Talking to pretty blonde girls, not so much.
* StarCrossedLovers: Once again, with Rose. While he's the American Dragon sworn to protect all magical creatures, she's a member of the Huntsclan who ''hunt'' said creatures. Even by the end of the series, despite Rose [[spoiler: remembering Jake]] and last being seen having a nice moment with him, there are still obstacles making it difficult for them to truly have their happily ever after. [[spoiler:Such as the long-distance relationship issues, though it may be easier in a world with magic]].
* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: Jakes’ reaction to Brocomus offering him a new job is to shut the door in the leprechauns’ face. Considering how few scruples the leprechaun has, it’s very justified.
--> '''Jake''': “Sorry, the American Dragon is not for sale”
* TeensAreShort: As lampshaded by Nigel:
-->'''Nigel''': You don't reach my knees on the b-ball court, why's a kid named "Long" got to be so short?
* TemporaryBulkChange: When he gets his hands on a magic game controller that can manipulate reality, one of the first things he does is give his wiry dragon form a HeroicBuild.
* ThickerThanWater: Downplayed, Jake feels this way about his cousin Greggy, but will still smack him around if angered enough.
* ThouShaltNotKill: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Throughout the series Jake has proven that though he may not advocate for anyone's demise, he's more than willing to permanently take care of the sitaution if needed.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: The Tiny Guy to Rose's Huge Girl. Justified as they are middle-schoolers and girls are usually taller than boys at that age.
* UnmanlySecret: In “Professor Rotwood’s Thesis”, it’s revealed through Haley that Jake doesn’t like having people in his room unsupervised because he’s afraid that they’ll find out about his teddy bear collection and the fact that he still sleeps with a nightlight since he was 2 years old.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His adventures in time turned a wimpy member of the Huntsclan into the Huntsman, the fourth greatest enemy of the magical community.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: {{Deconstructed}}: He has ''serious'' trouble at balancing his schoolwork, his social life and his duties. The episode "Being Human" implies that he's ''really'' stressed due to this (Haley can't even start to guess how he does it).
** An episode did show him attempt to balance this via chi dopplegangers, but he did so via shortcuts (a chi amplifying dust.) After he grabbed the wrong one and made a bad chi clone, he reabsorbed them and managed to prioritize what he needed to along with getting his friends to help. However, it is still a great deal of stress and when taking everything to account, he does an admirable job as a hero and magical defender, doing better than what could be realistically expected out of someone in his position.
* WesternZodiac: In “Shapeshifter”, Jake states that he’s a Pisces.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Says this word-for-word in "Bring it On".
* WingdingEyes: In Season 1, there are a few moments when his eyes become hearts whenever he sees Rose.
* WouldHitAGirl: Jake will fight female enemies the same way he would if they were males.

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KeoneYoung

Jake and Haley's maternal grandfather, and also the former's dragon teacher.

* AffectionateNickname: "G" or "Gramps" by Jake.
* AlliterativeName: '''L'''uong '''L'''ao Shi. Although, Lao Shi is his given name.
* BadassMoustache: A RetiredBadass who sports a classic Fu Manchu mustache.
* BarefootSage: There's a few scenes (especially Season 2) where he's shown to not even wear his sandals.
* BigOlEyebrows: Has long, messy eyebrows.
* BlueIsHeroic: His main outfit as a human is a robe, his dragon form is blue, and he's a hero.
%%* BreathWeapon
* BrokenAce: A very powerful dragon and the only one to defeat the Dark Dragon singlehandedly. However, his carefree life style and attitude was gone and he ended becoming a serious old man.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Well done, young dragon."
* ChickMagnet: Given how many women shows interest in him through his dating profile (set up by Jake in "Something Fishy This Way Comes"), he can be considered this. Played absolutely straight in his young-and-hot-days as seen in "Hong Kong Nights". Zig-zagged when it comes to the witches of Woodstock though, as they’ll fall for anybody.
%%* CoolOldGuy
* ADayInTheLimelight: He gets one in "Hong Kong Nights", which details how he used to be a lot like Jake, how he faced the Dark Dragon, and how he was forever changed even though he came out alive.
* ForeignLanguageTirade: He gives these in Chinese whenever he’s agitated by someone, Jake and Jonathan being prime victims of this.
* ForYourOwnGood: Although it was never revealed to Jake or any other of the characters, this was the reason why he asked Rose to break up with Jake.ш Haley calls Lao-Shi out for this in "Being Human," and he realizes he went too far.
* FormerlyFit: Downplayed and Justified as he’s neither young anymore nor terribly out of shape, just far less fit than he used to be. 30 years before training his grandson, Lao-Shi was very muscled. His physique was so shredded his abs literally could be played like a xylophone.
* HiddenDepths: He harbors a deep love and appreciation for disco music, dancing and karaoke, enjoying them as often as possible. Aside from music, his hobbies include playing mahjong and cards. Additionally, Lao-Shi has also taken Highschool classes at some point, one of which was in Norwegian.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Like Jake, he has dated women that turned out to be enemies but he thought Rose was distracting Jake from his dragon duties. Jake even mentions this when trying to break it to him gently that his latest girlfriend may be the kelpie they're hunting.
* IWasQuiteALooker: He used to be a magical pin-up boy.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Critical, yes, but he does make good points. For example, admonishing Jake for whenever he abuses magic for his own gain or that dating a mortal enemy can be a problem.
* JerkassRealization: Downplayed in "Being Human", he realizes that he has been expecting Jake to bear far too much stress for a teenager to handle, and his [[TheUnishment punishment]] for the prank he pulled is to cut his summer training in half so he can have some time to relax.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: At times Lao Shi can be a harsh and disciplinarian task master, especially to Jake, but only because he knows the challenges his grandson will face. He's also shown to have a caring side.
* KungFuWizard: His obvious martial prowess aside, Lao-shi has proven to be skilled at magic, whipping up a spell to show what he’s been told before in “Old School Training” or making a magical tracking device for keeping tabs on his daughter in “Hero Of the Hourglass” when she was dating Jonathan. In “Dreamscape” he also showed the ability to manipulate his own dreams without the use of a dream charm and bring in physical objects. A downplayed case since Lao-Shi doesn’t use his magical skills for combat, only in a supporting capacity to his duties.
* LaserGuidedKarma: It was partly his fault that Rose and Jake put their relationship on hold, especially when the price for Jake saving her life was that she wouldn't remember him or the magical world. Quite fittingly, when he ends up in the same situation -- or so it seems -- Jake indirectly forces him to put his relationship on hold by blowing [[spoiler:Deloris's cover. She has to return home as a result]].
* MeaningfulName: His full name are the Chinese words for "dragon"(龍) and "teacher" (老师).
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: Jake's grandfather is so small several people during the HalloweenEpisode mistook him for a kid dressed like an old Chinese wise man. Then again, it was shown in flashback he wasn't much taller than that during his prime, so he might have some kind of dwarfism. Susan should be glad the dragon powers weren't all that skipped her.
* NoodleIncident: Admits that he’s once flirted with an opponent and that it didn’t end well, who it was, or when, isn’t revealed.
* NotSoDifferent: He was just like Jake in his youth. In fact, he retained the attitude (but was cockier) as a young adult until [[spoiler:he defeated the Dark Dragon the first time.]] This is probably why he's hard on Jake; he doesn't want his grandson to repeat his mistakes.
** He also has shades of this with Jonathan, as seen in “Feeding Frenzy” where the two enjoy singing a Karaoke duet.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Back in the day, he did not have a good opinion of Johnathan and did not approve of him dating Susan because he was mortal. He did however, come to respect Johnathan for how much he's willing to sacrifice for Susan. It's clear in the present he still doesn't get along well with Johnathan when they interact, but they're willing to work out their differences.
* OldMaster: He is an old and wise dragon master who trains Jake.
* Omniglot: Lowgrade version, he is fluent in Chinese and English and have taken college classes in Norwegian.
* OverprotectiveDad: He had an enchanted compass to spy on Jake's parents when they were dating.
-->'''Susan''': Daddy! How could you?\\
'''Lao Shi''': My darling, I may possess all the magic and strength of a great dragon warrior, but I am also a single dad.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: "Hero of the Hourglass" shows that he is not above prejudice against humans, seeing as he didn't approve of Susan dating Jonathan because, you guessed it, he's human. Granted, he does come around after he sees Jonathan standing up to the Huntsclan. Though it's also suggested he just doesn't like Jonathan specifically and/or didn't think he was good enough for Susan rather than just because he was a mortal. He's shown to respect other mortals like Jake's friends well enough in the present, yet still doesn't really care for Jonathan much.
* ShipperWithAnAgenda: Mixed with some {{Fantastic Racism}}, as in "Hero Of the Hourglass" he tried, very ham-fisted and unsuccessfully, to set his daughter up with somebody else than Jonathan, simply because the person was a dragon as opposed to a normal human (He didn’t even know the person).
* ShippingTorpedo: He's not supportive of Jake's romance with Rose and tries to break them up when he deems the former is too distracted by the latter to take his duties seriously.
* SitcomArchnemesis: Has a completely onesided one with rival electronics retail store owner Chick Boomgarden, whose store is right across from his. [[ComicallyLopsidedRivalry Lao-shis’ main grievance is that Chick gets more customers, which isn’t hard since Lao-shi has never had a single one]].
* SternTeacher: Lao Shi got this one in the bank, with emphasis on the stern. If Jake misbehaves, his grandfather admonishes him with cruel and unusual punishments, such as cleaning a slimy cauldron with his tongue. However, he is willing to be fair in his punishments, such as after his Jerkass Realization, when he punishes Jake by cutting down on his training.
* ThirdPersonPerson: He occasionally refers to himself as “Grandpa”.
* WaxOnWaxOff: Some of his training techniques involve chores, like cleaning toilets with one's dragon tongue (deflects huntsclan nets) and weeping the floor with one's dragon tail (tail-whipping to trip enemies). But the laundry cleaning was just because "Grandpa needed his laundry done".
* WouldHitAGirl: He doesn’t shy away from fighting women, once trying to bite Huntsgirl in two in “Old School Training”.

[[folder:Fu Dog]]
[[quoteright:293:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fu_1376.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:293: "I'm a real dog! Woof!"]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JohnDiMaggio

A 600-year-old talking Shar-Pei, Lao-Shi's only companion and Jake's Animal Guardian. In the 1970s, Fu was a womanizer and a petty thief, but after meeting Lao-Shi, he turned his life around. He's messy and loud and he gambles and harasses women. However, deep down, he has a good heart and is a good, trustworthy friend to Jake.

* AlchemyIsMagic: He frequently mixes potions to do whatever is required in the episode.
** He made a potion which allows dragons to shapeshift into different people and creatures.
** A potion for bestowing dragon abilities unto a costume.
** Memory erasing potion.
** Memory Improvement potion.
* AnythingThatMoves: Fu could be the poseterchild for this trope, he has flirted with- and dated numerous different women from different races, ages and looks (beauty isn’t the most important thing for him it seems). These women includes a hunchback, elves, cyclopes, a pixie, arachnid-human (Veronica), a female Cerberus, other magical dogs, humans, a centaur, Ms. Hades (yes it is indeed a female version of Disney Hades), a gargoyle, normal dogs and [[OurMonstersAreWeird an individual with two humanoid upper bodies sharing a lizard-lowerbody]], just to name a few.
* BadDate: Aside from his {{DatingServiceDisaster}} (see below) in "Bring It On", Fu mentions that he had once been on a particularly memorable one, which was allegedly a date with [[spoiler:all three of the Gorgon Sisters!]]
* BecomingTheMask: Downplayed, but in the “Eye of The Beholder” where he has to pretend to be female to win a beauty pageant, he starts to act feminine and makes a small effort to become beautiful such as the old {{Cucumber Facial}}. He even starts to respect women for more than their looks. This is all very short-lived.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: Courtesy of being hundreds of years old and having time-traveled repeatedly, Fu Dog claims to have done a lot for the history of the world.
** Causing Atlantis to sink.
** Causing the RMS Titanic to sink.
** Introducing the Romans to the concept of toga parties.
** Giving Betsy Ross the idea to make the American Flag's colors red, white, and blue.
** Being the reason the Mona Lisa painting features the facial expression it does.
** Breaking the nose off the Sphinx.
* BigEater: "Two words: I'M HUNGRY!"
* BodyPocket: He's got lots of them, in the form of his wrinkles.
* DatingServiceDisaster: He used an online dating site in "Something Fishy this way comes" to land a date with a poodle, [[spoiler: it turned out to be a Kelpie in disguise whose goal was to eat Laoshi]].
* ADayInTheLimelight: He got three of them; "Fu Dog Takes a Walk", "Fu and Tell", and "Nobody's Fu".
* ADogAteMyHomework: Has been the dog in question at least twice. In “Fu and Tell” one of Haley’s classmates asks Fu to eat his spelling homework since he didn’t finish it. Fu obliges, commenting that it “Tastes like about a D-”. Then, in “Hero of the Hourglass”, he once ate Jake’s homework, which caused Jake to get in trouble with his dad.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: When he’s behind the wheel in “Professor Rotwoods thesis”, all passengers are worried (One of them a seasoned dragon). Justified, as he technically doesn’t have a license (only a doglicense) and was trying to save Jake.
* EyeOfNewt: His potions ingredients are quite diverse and includes Bat liver Oil, trolls burps, butterfly spit, essence of bat sinew and a literal eye of newt (which he proclaims doesn’t do anything, but Fu believes a potion has to have it any way).
* FatSlob: A rare “heroic” example of this, Fu Dog willingly eats any kind of food he can find (ANY KIND!), he leaves stains and leftovers for weeks no matter where (including the counter in Lao-Shi’s shop), his burps have resonating echoes and his fur is so dirty, that his fleas treat his body like a vacation home. Considering his multitude of skills this trope could transcend into a downplayed case of {{GeniusSlob}}.
* TheGamblingAddict: He'll frequently make bets or have a bet he's made in the past come back at the worst possible time. Not even near-death has helped curb it.
* GoodLuckCharm: It’s debatable how lucky it is, but Fu Dog inherited his dad‘s lucky enchanted coin (which has been passed down for at least seven generations, making it thousands of years old), which Yan Yan has stolen from him on numerous occasions (and then he stole it right back later).
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Strong enough to [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom send Yan-Yan flying across the classroom]].
* HeelFaceTurn: He was a petty thief in the 1970s until he befriended Lao.
* HiddenDepths: Despite his amorous nature that make him fall in love easily, Fu Dog is seemingly devoted to whomever he’s dating, as he mentions he dated an elf in the 1800’s and actually learnt the language (at the very least he can read it). Fu Dog also at one point tried to take his love of puns and humor to the next level and be a standup comedian. He was, however, booed off stage. Additionally, Fu Dog knows how to fly a plane (the kind used in World War I at least, which leads into a bit of FridgeHorror).
* HorseOfADifferentColor: Fu was the “horse” to Spud in "Siren Says" while they were under the control of the titular Siren. He himself has repeatedly used his dragon partners in the same capacity, which once led to him crashing Jake into a beach when he tried to steer him.
* HyperspaceArsenal: We've seen him producing a lot of things from his wrinkles, ranging from lesser things like cell phones and shoes to ''anvils''.
* {{Hypocrite}}: On so many occasions it's practically a fixture of his character. That dog lacks integrity.
** In “Bodyguard Duty” he chastises the goblins for wanting to take advantage of the Oracle twins’ abilities to cheat at gambling, but immediately afterwards tries to do the exact same.
** In “Feeding Frenzy” he Lampshades Lao-Shis’ family’s inability to keep their magical nature hidden, before immediately saying “Woof woof, dog sound” (exact words) when Jonathan approaches.
** “Game On” sees Fu not wanting to go with Jake because he was worn out and complained about his bad day, despite the vast majority of Fu's lines until that point had been complaining about his new diet or insulting others.
* IAteWhat: Though he praised the taste in “Hong Kong Knights”, Fu wasn’t thrilled to realize that he ate kitty litter.
* IgnoredEpiphany: In "No Body’s Fu" he cannot grasp the concept that Jake standing him up is exactly what he did to the young dragon earlier in the episode.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: As shown in “Body Guard Duty” Fu takes after his grandmother, an equally old selfish dog with a love of sports that’ll gladly throw down when there’s a chance for it.
* JealousPet: Subverted as he’s technically not a pet, but he is a dog and really unhappy about being temporarily replaced as animal sidekick in “No Body’s Fu”. That Bananas B, the replacement magical animal guardian, is instantly well liked by Jake (which isn’t hard as the chimp actually does help out Jake with Dragon duties, schoolwork and social life without sabotaging it in some way) doesn’t make it better in the slightest.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Fu's a chronic gambler, womanizer, and full of obnoxious puns and one-liners. That said, he's a devoted member of the team and always there to provide Jake with some emotional support and advice.
* LovableSexManiac: He's about as much of one as a G-rated Disney cartoon will allow. He squeezes a giantess' hump, gets excited when it comes to [[ZipMeUp zipping up a woman's dress]], asks a sprite to shake her things his way ([[spoiler: her wings]]), has stated that he falls in love at least six times a day and is shown dating two dogs at once.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Considering his age, many of his flings could very well be this.
* MeaningfulName: Fu Dog is named after the Chinese guardian lions that stands outside of buildings bringing powerful mythical benefits to the inhabitants. Fitting for an animal guardian.
* MentorMascot: He's responsible for helping train Jake and will often take the reins when Lao-Shi isn't around. He also has to pretend to be Lao-Shi's pet.
* MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels: He can't speak dog, so he has to rely on an English/Dog dictionary. His attempt to ask other dogs caught by a dog catcher "What are you in for?" ended up being "My pants taste like salami."
* NonHumanSidekick: Notably the consistent non-human on the heroes' side given all the dragons can switch back and forth, Trixie and Spud [[spoiler: and later Rose]] are normal humans and most magical creatures are just walk-ins for any given episode.
* OlderSidekick: At 600 years old, he’s at least thrice the age of Lao-shi and Jake combined (let alone the rest of the Dragon team). Considering his grandmother is 1400 years old, he has many years ahead of him.
* PalsWithJesus: Fu is an old friend of Marty, the current Grim Reaper, they continually play practical jokes on each other. Fu also readily provides Marty with a place to crash when his condo is being renovated, to the shock of Jake.
* PluckyComicRelief: Rarely lets anything get him down or stop him from making a joke. He's also prone to cheering up Jake when the poor kid's down.
* PungeonMaster: Loves puns.
* PuppyDogEyes: According to him, he ''invented'' that trick. And yet even he can’t resist it.
* Really700YearsOld: He's 600 years old.
* ShipperOnDeck: He is usually the one who supports Jake/Rose the most.
* TalkingAnimal: Has fully human speech capabilities.
* VerbalTic: "A-goo-goo"
* WholeSomeCrossdresser: Averted on two occasions.
** Tries to pass off as a woman named “Fuella” to win a beauty pageant, but he wins based on personality (and because the other contestants forfeit in support of him).
** In “Dragon Summit” he dresses up like a Siren to help Jake train, freaking the poor dragon out.
* WouldHitAGirl: He has had repeated run-ins with Yan-Yan (a female feline) over the centuries, all of which were no holds-barred fights.

[[folder:Arthur P. "Spud" Spudinski]]
[[quoteright:295:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spud_8974.PNG]]
->'''Voiced by''': Charlie Finn

One of Jake's two best friends. Despite being a bit of a ditz, he's quite reliable. Season 2 shows off he is actually very intelligent, but because of how he was raised, he doesn't like to show it.

* AbortedDeclarationOfLove: In "Homecoming", he tried to confess to Trixie. However, Trixie cut him off and the two decide that they're just better off as being "friends and nothing more."
* AccidentalHandHold: This happens twice with Stacey in “Bring It On”. The first time was, in his own words, the “life-altering encounter” that led to him developing a crush on her.
-->'''Spud:''' My head’s been spinning ever since…
* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: In season 2, Spud's crush in on head cheerleader, Stacey.
* AmazonChaser: It doesn’t come up much, but it’s there, such as when he high-fives Jake after seeing Rose’s fit physique in “Ski Trip”. In season two in “The Academy” he is overjoyed when he sees two female Huntsclan trainees start fighting over him (which happens twice). Later in the same episode, he asks two cheerleaders at his regular school if they’d be willing to do it too, but to no avail.
--> '''Spud''': “Go ladies! Fight for the trophy that is me!”
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Spud is not the best at paying attention, as Fu Dog found out when he specifically told him to not let in a troll that was trying to collect money from the canine and Spud did it anyway as he was busy balancing a banana on his nose at the time.
* BrainyBrunette: Spud has brown hair and, despite his strange demeanor, he's actually a genius.
* BrilliantButLazy: Spud is actually a genius but doesn't apply himself because he fears the added pressure that comes with being incredibly smart.
* CargoShip: For the duration of “The Ski Trip” Spud developed a crush on a ski lift, even imagining being married to and having kids with it. After Spud fell from it, he makes it cleat that HE broke up with IT.
* ChickMagnet: Surprisingly, Spud had this role in “The Academy” while he was undercover as a Huntsclan trainee. This started before the other students came to believe he’d even defeated the Kraken, where girls were fighting over who got to be his date for the upcoming school dance. The misunderstanding only marginally intensified the magnetism. Naturally, he milked it as much as he could, even going to the dance with [[ALadyOnEachArm the two girls]] fighting over him.
* CloudCuckoolander: "Supernatural Tuesday" even gives us a peek into his mind.
-->'''Spud''': No matter where you go, if you try to hide, the moon will always find you.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: According to Jake in “The Doppelganger Gang”, Spud’s favorite possession is a ball of bellybutton lint he’s been collecting since he was 3.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "A Befuddled Mind" and "Shaggy Frog". Also, both he and Trixie share the spotlight in "Keeping Shop".
* DeliberateUnderPerformance: He is revealed to a be a ChildProdigy in the second season of the series, but purposefully scores low as he happy being lackadaisical and doesn't want any type of expectation put on him, especially due to an overbearing father. Considering that when Jake and Trixie trick him into actually scoring high, he nearly gets used by Jake's enemy Eli Pandarious, he's got a point.
* TheDreaded: According to Fu, he is this to a gang of biker trolls.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Does this along with Jake in “The Academy” to infiltrate the Huntsclan Academy, and he loved it (see Chick Magnet). When Jake got exposed and captured, Spud evaded capture by [[SwitchOutMove replacing his number tag]] with that of another Huntsclan student.
* EccentricArtist: Spud is surprisingly talented when it comes to art, or at least for recreating great artists’ works, as he has used his (wrong) test results at school to recreate Leonardo Da Vinci’s "The Last Supper" in "A Befuddled Mind" or when he painted a mural on a garage door in the time it took Jake and Trixie to paint a wall together in "Professor Rotwood’s Thesis". During "A Befuddled Mind" Spud manipulates common lamps to create a mini lightshow like the ones in a concert. And since it’s Spud, the eccentricity is ever present, though unlike other cases of this trope, Spud is very humble about his skills and doesn’t show off them off, though the fact he doesn’t want his intelligence and skills acknowledged because it’d take away his fun certainly has a part in this.
* EvilLaugh: Has a "talent" for [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] these. He has one as well. It needs work.
* FingerlessGloves: During the first season, Spud wore a black pair.
%%* GeniusDitz:
* HiddenDepths: It's been hinted several times that Spud actually has a magical background (namely that his great-grandfather may have been a wizard), but is just unaware of it. Not to mention the reveal he is actually something of a genius.
** He professes that he is also a lifelong fan of K.E.W.L. (King Extreme Wrestling League) in Ring Around The Dragon, quite surprising given his extremely mellow character.
* HollywoodHacking: Spud rules this trope, cracking the Huntsclans’ code and simultaneously hacking their teleportation system in the matter of seconds. A task which the dragon council had tried and failed to do for hundreds of years. It’s dialed up to eleven as Spud explains that it was a “tricky task”, suggesting he could have done it even faster.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: "Shaggy Frog" shows him being somewhat jealous of Jake for being a magical hero.
* LastNameBasis: A variant. He goes by a shorten version of his last name.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: It is revealed in a flashback that Spud’s father is an extremely serious man that urged his son to perform explementary ever since Spud was a toddler, including teaching him about Trickle-down Economics and scolding him for laughing at slapstick humor. His father is the reason for Spud’s laidback, goofy slacker persona, as he didn’t want to become all-work and no play.
* MagicWand: Spud is surprisingly proficient in using the two wands he took from Eli Pandarus to perform a spell he’d only seen once.
* MellowFellow: He has a very relaxed demeanor.
* MuggleBestFriend: He and Trixie are Jake's closest friends.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He and Trixie have this moment in "Professor Rotwood's Thesis", when they discover that Jake is the dragon they just sold to Rotwood for a cash reward.
* MysteriousMiddleInitial: We never find out what the "P" stands for.
* NiceGuy: A generally decent, if weird, guy.
* NiceHat: A green cap.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: While strange, he's actually a genius. However due to an overbearing father he's came to the conclusion that you can be smart, or happy, but not both.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Everyone calls him Spud. The only one who calls him Arthur is his mother.
%%* PluckyComicRelief
* SecretKeeper: Becomes this after learning of Jake being a dragon "Professor Rotwood's Thesis", when Jake refuses to have his memory wiped.
* ShipperOnDeck: He ships Jake and Rose, even after Jake finds out she’s Huntsgirl, which leads to Jake having conflicted feelings about her (until her HeelFaceTurn, anyway).
-->'''Jake:''' Ugh, when I see her, it’s like I don’t know whether to kiss her, or to incinerate her with a fireball!\\
'''Spud:''' Yep, sounds like TrueLove to me, bro.
* ShipTease: With Trixie. To both's happiness, they don't get romantically together.
%%* SideKick
* TheSlacker: Spud is very dedicated to “Chilling, hanging out and loitering” for a simple Saturday.
* StalkerWithACrush: Toward Stacy. While he doesn't actually stalk her, he has invented a device made to ''track her anywhere on the planet''.
* SuperpowersForADay: In "Shaggy Frog", a frog biting him gives him frog-like superpowers. He's cured by the end of the episode.
* UnwillingSuspension: Happens to him in "A Befuddled Mind".
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: In "Half-Baked", it's revealed that he is terrified of clowns due to an incident involving a Clowny [=McHonk-Honk=] parade balloon when he was 5.
-->'''Spud''': Me, 12 trombonists, and the Cable Access weather lady haven't been the same since.
* YouthfulFreckles: Spud has six freckles, three on each of his cheeks, and is quite friendly.

[[folder:Trixie Carter]]
[[quoteright:293:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trixie_5735.PNG]]
->'''Voiced by''': Kali "Kittie" Troy

One of Jake's best friends. She sometimes acts as the voice of reason. Shows signs of becoming a doctor.

* ActionGirl: On occasion Trixie shows she’s both able and willing to throw down with either dragons, trolls or gorgons, backup preferred, but she’ll go solo if needs be.
* AffectionateNickname: "Trix" by her friends.
* BareYourMidriff: Her kofta doesn't cover her belly.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Bring It On". She and Spud also share the spotlight in "Keeping Shop".
* CelebCrush: Wanted to marry Denzel Washington in season one.
* CloudCuckoolandersMinder: Trixie often tries to rein in Spud and explain some of his more illogical ideas and fantasies. She often fails.
* {{Cosplay}}: She dressed up as a videogame character for a game convention in “Haley Gone Wild”. The only reason she did it was because Spud promised it’d be a dual costume. She wasn’t pleased to find out that his costume consisted of the gaming controller since he was the player that actually played the character.
* TheDreaded: At least according to Fu Dog, she (and Spud) is this to a gang of biker trolls.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: She infiltrates Pandarus’ fortress together with Jake dressed as [[PaperThinDisguise Ogre guards]].
* DudeMagnet: Downplayed, there’s a few boys that have found Trixie attractive over the series and have asked her out on dates, namely Kyle Wilkins and an Asian kid in “Supernatural Tuesday”.
* TheFashionista: Subverted, while she prefers to wear sweatshirts and tomboy clothes, Trixie owns a large amount of designer clothes, which her mother buys her from all over the world. The cheerleaders can’t get enough of it.
* GamerChick: She enjoys playing videogames, visits arcades and is not adverse to go to gaming conventions (In Cosplay), all with her best friends.
* GirlinessUpgrade: Subverted, she’s not adverse to wearing dresses when she’s going to a dance. In “Bring It On” Trixie temporarily ditches her tomboy outfits to infiltrate the cheerleaders’ clique. She likes being able to speak about boys with them, but it doesn’t stick.
* HiddenDepths: She has some aspirations to be a doctor in the future, since she likes the sound of "Doctor Carter".
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She can be very rude and inconsiderate, but is a loyal and brave person.

* {{Odango}}: Her usual hairstyle.
* OneOfTheBoys: The only ones she hangs out with are Jake and Spud.
* RaisedByGrandparents: Downplayed. Both of Trixie's parents are still alive, but with her dad being overseas in the military and her mom being relatively busy with working as an airline pilot, Trixie's grandmother appears to be her primary caregiver when neither of her parents are around.
* SassyBlackWoman: Very much so. In fact, she's this trope to the extent she is because no one was going to tell her voice actress to tone down her natural personality.
* StressVomit: After accepting, Trixie’s second response to Kyle asking her if she wanted to be his date for the love cruise is this. He takes it well.
* SecretKeeper: She keeps Jake's magical background and duties a secret.
* SelfAppliedNickname: She has a tendency to call herself "Mama Trixie", but the only other character to call her this is [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries Lilo]].
* ShesGotLegs: An episode has Trixie becomes a cheerleader. When her two male friends see her in a revealing miniskirt for the first time [[DistractedByTheSexy this]] is their reaction. One of them goes on to talk about her legs for a while afterward, questioning why she never showed off her legs before.
* ShipperOnDeck: Zig-zagged, Trixie doesn’t support Jake or Spud when it comes to girls they really like (Rose and Stacy) but does support them when it comes to girls she likes, like Vicki (boy was she wrong on that front). It was played straight in season one with Jake and Rose, but this ended when Trixie suspected that Rose was Huntsgirl.
* ShipTease: With Spud. To both's happiness, they don't get romantically together.
%%* SideKick
* StrongerThanTheyLook: She doesn't look weak per ce, but she's deceptively strong, as she can easily move around in metalarmour when figthing a dragon.

[[caption-width-right:295: "And one last thing. Never show a dragon mercy. Ever."]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MaeWhitman

A hot, popular girl at school, Rose catches the attention of Jake immediately. However, there is more to this girl than meets the eye. She is actually a highly skilled hunter, trained by the Huntsclan to fight and slay dragons. Jake's girlfriend.

* ActionGirl: Girl has serious skills. If the scene where she curbstomps the Huntsclan members who confront her on the Huntsman's orders in "Homecoming" and her alone giving the Dark Dragon a run for his money in "Hong Kong Longs" are any indication, she may even be a borderline OneManArmy.
* ActOfTrueLove: Proves once and for all how much she loves Jake when she [[spoiler: sacrifices herself to make sure he and his family are forever safe from the Huntsclan]] at the end of "Homecoming".
* AllUpToYou: Essentially, her role in the final episode, where after all the world's dragons are defeated by the Dark Dragon, she [[spoiler: steps up to the plate and defeats him]]. This was pretty much exactly what Jake intended, as he goes looking for her under the belief that they need a natural dragon slayer to deal with the problem.
* AnAxeToGrind: Briefly brandishes a big one in "The Halloween Bash", when she was about to decapitate the Dragon Council.
* AntiHero: [[spoiler: Committing an act of genocide to save the Magical World and her family]] cements her as this. She's probably a PragmaticHero.
* AntiVillain: Played with throughout the series. In season one, she's generally portrayed as a straight villain in her Huntsgirl persona, with it being through knowing her as Rose that makes Jake think there's good in her. It's not until season two, after her HeelFaceTurn, that the show gives her the tragic backstory of [[spoiler: being kidnapped at birth]] to retroactively make her fit this trope. In addition, there are individual episodes in season two where she plays the role of a sympathetic antagonist: "The Love Cruise", where she tries to kill Jake because Jake shooting her with one of Cupid's love arrows has made her NotHerself and "Homecoming", where she betrays Jake because she's being blackmailed, only to [[spoiler: be revealed to be GoodAllAlong at the end]].
* TheApprentice: She is literally at the "Apprentice Level" in the Huntsclan. She's skilled, but Jake is just as skilled, preventing her from ever rising in Huntsclan status.
%%* BadassAdorable
* BadassBookworm: Shows signs of being this, as she's seen reading when Jake opens a second portal to her location with the Krylock venom potion in "Half Baked" and when Jake and Haley see her walking across the street in "Switcheroo".
-->'''Haley''': She's pretty. Graceful. Reads books. I'd say she's way out of your league.
* BadassNormal: Pretty much the entire Huntsclan, really, but when a fourteen-year-old girl built like a drinking straw is fighting huge firebreathing dragons to a standstill know you don't want to get on her bad side.
* BareYourMidriff: Her white elongated tube top does not close the navel
* BattleCouple: With Jake. While they more often fight each other, there are still moments when they fight as a team, such as against the Aztec Guardian Serpent in the opening of "Breakout" or against the Chimera in "Dreamscape".
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Zig-zagged, in ”Act 4, scene 15” Rose accidentally gets shot in the knee by a ray from Huntsmans staff-weapon, resulting in her getting her leg in a cast at the end of the episode. But there’s no permanent damage in subsequent episodes.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Rose starts falling for Jake because he cheered her up and danced with her after she got dumped at the school dance by Brad (her actual date). That Jake keeps it up regularly, such as during their stint at acting in "Act 4, scene 15" and on their date afterwards only strengthens her feelings for him.
** Exploited in "Switcheroo" by Hailey as a favor to Jake. Rose is gifted a painting of her by Hailey which make Rose take Jake back after she broke up with him at the end of "Love Cruise".
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Jake is thrown for a loop when he learns that sweet Rose is the same Huntsgirl that has been trying to kill him all of first season. Even after her HeelFaceTurn, she's still dangerous.
* BigDamnHeroes: Gets a couple moments, such as when she stuns the Huntsman from behind just as he's about to slay Jake in "Breakout" or when she accepts the Dark Dragon's challenge of a fighter who can take him in "Hong Kong Longs".
* BigEater: Played with. During one of her and Jake's dream dates, she enlarges a crepe until it's as big as she is.
-->'''Rose''': Yeah, but if we're having dream crepes, we may as well make them ''real'' dream crepes.
* BirthmarkOfDestiny: The Mark of the Huntsclan.
* BraidsOfAction: Usually wears her hair in a braid when she leaps into action.
* CallingTheOldManOut: The Huntsman gets a faceful of this when he busts Rose for being a Mole. She curb-stomps his men and holds him at lance point, snarking that he taught her ''too'' well. Rose was not happy to learn she had been stolen from her real parents and told him off for lying to her.
* CelebCrush: She had one for Jaren Mcarthur in season one, she’s very excited when, unbeknown to her, Jake transforms into him so he can impress her.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: She's easily the most skilled non-magical character on Jake's side, being more or less his equal in terms of combat, durability, and agility. The only possible explanation is her years of Huntsclan training.
* ChekhovsSkill: In "Act 4, scene 15" Rose is shown having an interest in acting and being good enough to land the female lead in a school play. This skill becomes very useful come Season two.
* ChildSoldiers: She's only 13-14, and her whole life has been about learning how to fight, hunt, and kill magical creatures.
-->'''Rose''': I've been dreaming about slaying a dragon since birth.
* CombatPragmatist: She's not afraid to fight dirty, going for her enemy's back more than once. Case in point, she's first introduced kicking Jake from behind while he's smack-talking the Huntsman.
* CovertPervert: "Shapeshifter" paints her this way, in her lust for pop star Jaren [=MacArthur=]. When she fights Jake while he's assumed the pop star's image with his shapeshifting powers, she goes so far as to ''slap his ass''.
* CrazyPrepared: Downplayed, while not as diligent as some cases of this trope, Rose did bring her Huntsclan uniform and weapons with her to a valentine’s prom in "Love Cruise" where she didn’t expect to fight anything.
* CupidsArrow: Played for Drama, Jake literally shot her with one of Cupid’s arrows in "Love Cruise", but since she already loves him, it had the reversed effect and she tried to slay him! She temporarily broke up with him afterwards.
* CustomUniform: Her season one Huntsclan uniform. In contrast, season two averts this, giving her a standard apprentice uniform.
%%* CuteBruiser
* DarkActionGirl: Before her HeelFaceTurn, she was an antagonist who would try to slay Jake.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: She was kidnapped as an infant from her biological family and then lied to by the Huntsman that they died, as well as being taught wrong teachings about magical creatures and being put through intense training]].
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: She, a member of the Huntsclan, is dating Jake, the American Dragon.
* DeathIsTheOnlyOption: [[spoiler: In "Homecoming", after using the Aztec Skulls to destroy the Huntsclan, her dialogue makes it clear that she genuinely believes that the deaths of her, the Huntsman, and all other Huntsclan members is the only way everyone she cares about will be safe]].
* TheDogBitesBack: Considering all he did to her, it seems only fitting that, in the end, she's the one who gets to [[spoiler: take out The Huntsman]].
* TheDragon: To The Huntsman, before her HeelFaceTurn.
* DreamingTheTruth: Subverted, this is technically how Rose finds out about her parents because her dream amulet allows for access to someone’s’ subconscious and their deepest memories, all the way back to infancy and even a persons’ birth.
* DreamWalker: Through her dream amulet, Rose can not only experience her own dreams fully but also visit others’. This is useful when giving the dreamer messages or warnings, spying on people and gather intel. It even allows her to dive into her own memories, no matter how far back. No doubt Rose’s preferred use of it, however, is for her and Jake to have literal dream dates and get away from their normal lives for a few hours at night.
* DudeMagnet: Downplayed, Jake and Brad are the only named characters that pursue her throughout the series, but in season one, there were several guys that had taken note of her looks in "Act 4, scene 15".
* DumbBlonde: Inverted. She has blonde locks but is down-to-earth, perceptive, and ruthless.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: At the end of "Homecoming", Jake grants her wish of a normal life]].
* EasilyForgiven: Played with, as it depends on the character. Jake is a straight example, as he forgives her for her transgressions as Huntsgirl the moment she sets him free rather than kill him in "The Hunted", seeing as [[JustifiedTrope he's in love with her]]. Spud spends "The Academy" not trusting her very much, but comes around once he sees the lengths she went to in order to help Jake fake his death. On the other hand, Trixie and Lao-Shi never really seem to officially forgive her, seeming like they really just kind of tolerate her for Jake's sake.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her dress in season two leaves one shoulder bare and exposes a little leg.
* FirstGirlWins: Even though Jake likes Danika, too, it's clear that Rose is his true love.
* FlowerMotifs: As her name states, roses are common motif with her. Her main color motif is pink, which is a usual color for a rose. Her pants from the first season had a rose picture. The second season opening briefly shows Jake handing her a pink rose.
%%* GirlNextDoor
* GenocideFromTheInside: [[spoiler: Uses the Aztec Skulls to almost entirely wipe out the Huntsclan, while being a member herself]].
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Rose qualifies when she dresses nicely, her dress in "Dragon Breath" and "Love Cruise" does fit this. The same could be said about her “Cleopatra” costume in "Act 4, Scene 15".
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Zigzagged. Rose has pretty, blonde locks but is both an adversary and primary love interest for protagonist Jake. On both sides, she's either genuinely a cold-hearted hunter or a sweet-hearted young lady. She finally plays the trope straight after her HeelFaceTurn.
%%* HardHead: "The Halloween Bash".
* HappilyAdopted: Subverted until her heel-face-turn, she was seemingly content with being in the Huntsclan, as Rose didn’t know any better than what the clan had taught her. Although Rose was aware of the extreme training regimen, she was dedicated and even looked forward to slaying her first dragon in order to properly join the Huntsclans’ ranks. This trope was completely averted following the events of "The Hunted" and absolutely inverted after "Dreamscape", which opened her eyes to the lies that the clan (and specifically the Huntsman) has told her all her life.
* HeelFaceTurn: Learning that Jake is the American Dragon is [[HeelRealization enough to show her that pretty much everything she was taught about magical creatures was wrong]], prompting her to do this.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Subverted. She wishes for the destruction of the Huntsclan with the Aztec Skulls, but as she soars into the air, Jake uses his wish to save her. Granted, she still gets an ObiWanMoment where she [[GoOutWithASmile smiles down at Jake]]]].
* HesBack: Female version. While there wasn't any HeroicBSOD, she makes a grand return to action in "Hong Kong Longs" after she [[spoiler: regains her memory]].
* IdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler: She loses her memories of Jake and her life in the Huntsclan as a result of Jake saving her with his wish. She got better in the GrandFinale with her memories restored, though]].
* InnocentBlueEyes: Zigzags between this and IcyBlueEyes. She's both an antagonist and love interest for Jake, and while she's ruthless as Huntsgirl, she also displays genuine kindness in her civilian identity. Finally plays this straight after her HeelFaceTurn.
* InterspeciesRomance: Rose, a human, is in a relationship with Jake, who's true form is a dragon.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:She wishes she had a normal life, free of the Huntscan. Jake grants this wish.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Zigzagged. Rose is...a complicated example. On the one hand, she's a member of the Huntsclan and has sworn an oath to kill the American Dragon aka her primary love interest and protagonist, Jake, which makes her a ruthless enemy; on the other hand, her civilian identity as Rose also has her display genuine love for Jake and friendliness in general. After her HeelFaceTurn, she becomes ''way'' nicer, but remains an AntiHero.
* KillerRabbit: That pretty girl in the picture there is capable of knocking out several mythical creatures with her WaifFu. Acknowledged in-universe and by the rest of the Huntsclan: when he learns of her HeelFaceTurn, the Huntsman confronts her armed and backed by four other Huntsclan members who has already slayed a dragon (a big accomplishment, they have often remarked, and a sign of their strength and skill). It takes Rose FIVE SECONDS to defeat the four Huntsclan members and hold the Huntsman at the point of his own energy lance.
* LikesClarkKentHatesSuperman: As Rose, she was initially fond of Jake, which later blossomed into a crush and love, while as Huntsgirl, she [[HatesMySecretIdentity hated the American dragon]] which was justified given their status as sworn enemies (not to mention all the times he defeated her and Huntsman or his constant wisecracking). That all changed after "The Hunted" however.
* LoveRedeems: Her love for Jake causes her to abandon her Huntsclan ideals and ultimately [[spoiler: nearly kill herself to rid the world of their threat]].
* MaybeEverAfter: With Jake, thanks to the show being canceled while the two of them [[spoiler: are living in different countries--it's implied that they keep up a LongDistanceRelationship]].
* {{McNinja}}: Or, as Trixie calls her, "Little-Miss-Ninja-Thang".
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: To be precise, she’s far more willing to be lethal than Jake is, just look at her killcount: [[spoiler: One Huntsclan]].
* NonProtagonistResolver: [[spoiler: Rose, not Jake, is the one to defeat both the Huntsclan and the Dark Dragon.]]
* OfficialCouple: Jake's main love interest, and as of the end of the series, they seem to be reconciling their relationship.
* OnlyOneName: She was never given a last name. Justified by her being in the Huntsclan; her last name was originally supposed to be [[MeaningfulName "Killdragonosa"]], but the writers chose to drop it because they figured it would have been merely a fake name given to her by the clan.
* ParentalAbandonment: Rose thinks that both of her parents are dead. Turns out [[spoiler: The Huntsman kidnapped her at birth]].
* PastLifeMemories: [[spoiler: At the end of "Hong Kong Longs", she recovers her memories of when she was Huntsgirl]].
* PracticeKiss: Subverted and justified, half the story of "Act 4, Scene 15" is about her and Jake trying to practice kissing for the (episode) titular scene of “Anthony and Cleopatra”. Que several hilarious instances of [[AlmostKiss the pair getting interrupted]], whether it be by their attempts to do their duties without the other one noticing, the Huntsman walking in on them or their own awkwardness and nervousness.
* ProphecyTwist: As Huntsgirl, she says it's her destiny to kill a dragon. [[spoiler:She ends up defeating the Dark Dragon, albeit non-fatally, to save not only all of humanity but also the world's dragons in the series finale, which was not what the Huntsclan intended]].
* PutOnABus: As a result of ExecutiveMeddling after she [[spoiler: lost her memory as a result of being rescued from an attempted HeroicSacrifice]]. [[BackForTheFinale She was brought back in the series finale]].
* ReassignedToAntarctica: [[spoiler: At the end of season one, for "failing" to kill Jake during the Grand Equinox Hunt, she's sent back to the Huntsclan Academy to help teachers give dragon slaying lectures to trainees]].
* RedemptionEarnsLife: [[spoiler: Jake's wish that saves her allows her to relive her life as a normal girl]].
* ReformedButNotTamed: If episodes like "Homecoming" and "Hong Kong Longs" are anything to go by. Yes, she's totally cool with magical creatures now, but she'll always be a trained killer. In fact, she's perfectly fine with [[spoiler: committing mass-murder]] if that's what she has to do to protect those she cares about. Jake himself acknowledges this, as when he tracks down Rose in Hong Kong, he specifically tells her to kill the Dark Dragon.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: This is what The Huntsman taught her. She no longer believes this.
* RetGone: [[spoiler: Jake's wish at the end of "Homecoming" ends up doing this to Huntsgirl]].
%%* TheMole: In "Homecoming".
* {{Roofhopping}}: As seen in "Old School Training", she has this ability.
* SecretIdentity: Huntsgirl.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Rose first started developing an attraction to [[TheHero Jake]] when he comforts her after [[{{Jerkass}} Brad]] dumps her on their date. The attraction gets stronger as they start dating each other. As the two grew closer, Rose began to love Jake more and more because of his heroism, kindness, and being a great boyfriend.
* SmoochOfVictory: Gives one to Jake in “Hong Kong Longs” after they’ve defeated The Dark Dragon, much to his surprise and happiness. This also counts as a BigDamnKiss as it signifies that she remembers everything from her original life, most importantly, her feelings for Jake.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Her HeelFaceTurn ends up spelling the end of the Huntsclan, which not even Jake wanted]].
* StarCrossedLovers: With Jake. While she's a member of the Huntsclan who ''hunt'' said magical creatures, he's the American Dragon sworn to protect all said creatures. Even by the end of the series, despite Rose [[spoiler: remembering Jake]] and last being seen having a nice moment with him, there are still obstacles making it difficult for them to truly have their happily ever after. [[spoiler:Such as the long-distance relationship issues, though it may be easier in a world with magic]].
* StrongFamilyResemblance: From what we see in "Dreamscape", "Homecoming", and "Hong Kong Longs", she's the spitting image of her mother.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: As Rose, she's kind and sweet. As Huntsgirl, she's driven, fierce, and ruthless.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: The Huge Girl to Jake's Tiny Guy. Justified as they are middle-schoolers and girls are usually taller than boys at that age.
* TermsOfEndangerment: In season one, she has a tendency to refer to Jake as "dragon boy". After learning that Jake is the American Dragon and undergoing her HeelFaceTurn, she stops doing this.
* TokenGoodTeammate: The only member of the Huntsclan presented to the audience as likable and sympathetic.
* TheTragicRose: [[spoiler: Is kidnapped at birth, brainwashed, and is ultimately forced into a position where she sees sacrificing herself as the only solution]].
* {{Tykebomb}}: The Huntsman raised and trained her from a young age to slay magical creatures.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Jake. When she tells the Huntsman that she'd never betray Jake in "Homecoming", she makes sure he finds out the hard way that she wasn't kidding.
* UngratefulBitch: At the end of "Ski Trip", after Jake saves her from falling to her death.
* VillainousVow: Makes one in "The Hunted", before the Grand Equinox Hunt. [[HeelFaceTurn She breaks the vow by the end of the episode]].
-->'''Rose''': Tomorrow, I swear on our ancestors that I will slay the American Dragon and fulfill my destiny!
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: After discovering Jake's secret, she not only pulls a HeelFaceTurn but does everything she can to protect him from the Huntsclan.
%%* WaifFu
* WistfulAmnesia: [[spoiler: The end of "Homecoming" implies that traces of her Huntsclan life still exist in her memory, with her asking Jake if she knows him because he looks familiar. Sure enough, in "Hong Kong Longs", she regains her memory by seeing the photo of her and Jake from the school dance at the beginning of the series and joins in on the final battle almost like nothing ever happened]].
* WritingAroundTrademarks: Her Huntsclan moniker had to be changed from "Thorn" to "Huntsgirl" in order to avoid legal trouble.
* YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo: A variation of this happens between Rose and The Huntsman in “Homecoming” after [[spoiler:he blackmails her to betray Jake in exchange for the location (and safety) of her birth parents.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''The Huntsman:''' Excellent work, Huntsgirl.\\
'''Rose:''' I gave you your skulls, now tell me where my parents are!\\

'''Rose:''' ''What?'' But you promised!\\
'''The Huntsman:''' And ''you'' promised your allegiance!]]

->'''Voiced by''': Amy Bruckner

Jake's younger sister who's a perfectionist and almost never gets in trouble. She has just mastered her dragon form and has just started her training.

* AdaptationDyeJob: In Season 1, her dragon form was purple, but after the ArtShift in Season 2, it was inexplicably changed to [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]].
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] While she ''is'' a better student and is shown to have natural talent with her Dragon Skills, it's also shown that this is specifically because she doesn't have to WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld like Jake does on a daily basis. After Jake temporarily gave up his role as the American Dragon, Haley had to assume the responsibility... and cracked under the pressure in less than a week. This helps her gain a new-found respect for her older brother and leads her to [[CallingTheOldManOut calling out their grandfather]] in "Being Human."
** In "Family Business," Haley ended up kidnapped when her dragon powers were on the fritz, courtesy of a [[GreenEyedMonster jealous Jake]], necessitating a rescue from her brother; after the rescue, Haley reveals that the effects of the powder wore off pretty much the moment she was kidnapped--it was her own fear that prevented her from fighting back. This is notably one area where Jake trumps Haley, as when he was in a similar situation, held against his will while in dragon form, he was able to get out of it with little to no help.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Jake, primarily because she's so perfect.
* AsianAndNerdy: Chinese-American and is a gifted ChildProdigy.
* AttentionWhore: Seems to have shades of this, such as in "Fu and Tell." Jake later brings up how much she likes attention in "Switcheroo."
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Haley always wanted to be the American Dragon and gets her wish in "Being Human". However, during that time, she cracks under the pressure.
* BerserkButton: While she generally doesn’t get worked up by monsters or people, there’s two things that will eventually make her snap:
** People being unjust towards her brother, she’ll chew you out, being her grandfather or dragonmaster won’t stop her.
** Not getting respect and being played pranks on for several hours, so naturally she doesn’t get along with her cousin Andrew and his siblings.
* BigBrotherWorship: "Switcheroo" reveals that while Haley may not show it, she thinks of Jake as her main admiration and inspiration.
* BigSisterInstinct: Inverted. Haley is younger than Jake but comes to his defense when Lao Shi calls him selfish for wanting a break from his duties.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: She borrows her brothers’ “Dragon Up” when she transforms.
* BrotherSisterTeam: Occasionally. At other times, Jake and Haley are at each other's throats.
* BreathWeapon: Is shown to breathe fire like all other dragons.
* ButNotTooForeign: Like her brother, she's half Chinese and half Caucasian.
* CallingTheOldManOut: Does this to her grandfather in "Being Human."
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the first season Haley was still a child prodigy, but was far more willing to go along with more immature and reckless endeavors, and attended a public school. In the second season though she still showed moments of her living up to her age, her traits of being the more successful and intelligent sibling were brought to the forefront to better contrast her with Jake.
* ChildProdigy: Season two shows her to have natural dragon talent, showing her brother up like she always does. It's also established that she attends a school for gifted children. However, it's also been shown this is primarily because she doesn't have the same duties that her brother does. When the buck is passed to her, her grades start slipping as she becomes a nervous wreck.
* ClashingCousins: While she tries to avert it, she really doesn’t get along with her cousins on her mothers’ side of the family, see Berserk Button.
* CrocodileTears: Does this to get her way in "Fu And Tell", its’ so effective, it even works on Jake when he’s angry at her for going through his stuff and her admitting that she was looking for his diary to use for a show and tell at her school.
* DistressedDamsel: At the end of "Family Business".
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Zigzagged. While Haley's ChildProdigy nature and maturity combined with Jake's laziness and recklessness nature would make them the Responsible and Foolish Sibling, respectively, unlike Haley, Jake has shown to handle being the American dragon and handling enemies ''way'' better than she does.
* GirlishPigtails: Her usual hairstyle is two, long pigtails.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Just like her big brother, as their mother is from a line of dragons ([[MuggleBornOfMages though not one herself]]) while their father is an average human.
* HumanMomNonhumanDad: Inverted, Haley's DragonAncestry is from her mother, while her father is a mundane human. Although, her mother is technically "human" as well, because the power of transformation skipped her generation.
* LetsSeeYouDoBetter: Jake convinces her to keep quiet about his plan to get suspended by convincing her she'd be better at being the American Dragon. She does her best but becomes ''really'' stressed at the end of "Being Human" and has more sympathy for Jake.
* LikeADaughterToMe: While Sun never outright says it, it's clear as day that she cares for Haley as if she were her own daughter.
* MadnessMantra: Not from her own mouth, but at the height of her stress-induced breakdown in "Being Human" she's stuck [[ThousandYardStare staring at nothing]] squeezing the doll she was given over and over again: "You're special! You're special! You're special! You're...!"
* MeaningfulName:
** Haley is named after Haley's Comet; Susan Long took a liking to the name after she and Jonathan attended a party and watched the comet bypass Earth in orbit.
** The Chinese word for dragon is "long". Subverted because it's a coincidence. Her surname comes from her father, who's neither Chinese nor a dragon.
* MixedAncestry: Caucasian on her father's side and Chinese on her mother's.
* MultiEthnicName: Subverted. Her first name is American while her last name has Chinese origin, but the former is from her father's side, and he is not Chinese.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Even Hailey doesn’t like educational tv and would rather watch shows with burping frogs.
* PintSizedKid: It's established in "The Legend of the Dragon Tooth" and "Switcheroo" that she is literally only 2 feet tall.
* ShipperOnDeck: Subtle, but she's implied to ship Jake and Rose. In "Switcheroo", she tells Jake she can see why he likes Rose and then puts a nice portrait of Rose into her locker and signs it as being "from Jake". Then, during her CallingTheOldManOut to Lao Shi in "Being Human", Haley brings up how Jake had to part farewells with the "girl he loves" aka Rose.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Her dragon form is pink.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: {{Deconstructed}} in "Being Human," where she temporarily takes over as the American Dragon... and cracks under the pressure in less than week. However, she gains a newfound respect for her older brother and even defends him against their grandfather, pointing out the severity and all the personal losses Jake's had to go through as a result of it.

[[folder:Jonathan Long]]
[[quoteright:294:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jjohn_9748.PNG]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JeffBennett

Jake and Haley's goofy, but loving father who has no idea that he has married into a magical family. As well as being goofy and embarrassing, he is also strict, however, he only is that way because he wants his children to remain safe. For if you hurt his children, beware.

* AdultsAreUseless: Played with, due to his manchild personality and easily excitable character, he’s not always the best to do things. Susan, Lao-shi and Jake lampshade that Jonathan isn’t the best at dealing with stress, case in point: Jonathan at one-point panics when he got his sweater on backwards and had to get help getting it right.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: The classic embarrassing father. He often does or says something that humiliates his son. However, unlike most people of this trope, he also has a strict side.
* BadassNormal: Has no magical powers, yet can hold his own against the Jersey Devil (and even better--he thought it was a bear, meaning that he was willing to go after a ''bear'' to save his son).
* BigBrotherBully: Downplayed, confesses in a panic during the interrogation by the Huntsclan in "Hero of The Hourglass" that he once let the air out of his sister’s garden pool. His relationship with Patchouli is way better as adults.
* BrainyBrunette: Has brown hair and, while he may be goofy, he has also proven to be intelligent.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass:
** When the Jersey's Devil attacked him, he mistook it for a bear and went into survival mode. When the Jersey's Devil attacked Jake, he still mistook it for a bear and ''threw it down off a cliff with a SwissArmyWeapon fitted with bear spray''.
** He defeated the entire army of Shade Demons in the series finale by grabbing a ceremonial vase with his fanny pack and reflected moonlight off of it. Jake even lampshades it proudly.
* ForeignLanguageTirade: Tried to pull one on Lao-shi in “Feeding frenzy” by using his Highschool Norwegian, only for Lao-shi to reveal that he [[BilingualBackfire also took that class]].
* GoodParents: As [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents embarrassing]] as Jonathan can be to Jake, he also has proven to be a devoted father with a reasonable strict side.
* GoodWithNumbers: Implied. Jonathan's job is a financial planner, and given it's requirements, he may be good at math.
* HappilyMarried: While their marriage isn't given a lot of focus, he and Susan have been shown to deeply love one another. Heck, they're even HighSchoolSweethearts.
* HighSchoolSweethearts: He and his future wife Susan would meet and date each other during their junior year of Fillmore High School.
* InterspeciesRomance: Zigzagged. While he's a human, Susan comes from a long line of dragons but it skipped her generation, making her technically human. Also, according to one of the writers of the show on the Toonzone forums, at one point there were plans to reveal that [[spoiler:he's a werewolf]].
* ManChild: Jonathan is a hyperactive goofy man who loves to have fun.
* MeaningfulName: The Chinese word for dragon is "long". Subverted because it's a coincidence, as he's neither Chinese nor a dragon.
* MultiEthnicName: Subverted. His last name is Chinese but he, himself, (despite claiming to be part Chinese via his 1/16th Navajo ancestry) isn't.
* NiceGuy: While John is [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents embarrassing]], he's also a caring, protective man.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Unlike most ManChild fathers in cartoons, Jonathan is rather strict in parenting and whenever Jake is being disobedient or lies about something (usually due to dragon business), that is when Jonathan puts his foot down and punishes his son.
* PapaWolf: See the first example of his CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass entry. Also when Jake was defeated by some vampires (they were masquerading as important business associates), Jonathan got ''pissed'' and let them have it. He ends up being crucial in defeating the Dark Dragon in the series finale on hearing that Jake was in danger. [[spoiler:This almost would’ve been a literal example if the show had followed through with [[WhatCouldHaveBeen their earlier plans to reveal that he’s a werewolf]].]]
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:In the series finale, "Hong Kong Longs", he finds out about his wife's side of the family being dragons and the existence of magical creatures. He faints at the reveal, but ultimately, rather than leave Susan and/or get angry about her not telling him about this for such a long time, he's actually very accepting of it and even admits that he always had a feeling that there was something "magical" about his family.]]
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Square glasses in his case. Still, a BrainyBrunette.
* SupernaturalProofFather: However, according to one of the writers of the show on the Toonzone forums, at one point there were plans to reveal that [[spoiler:he's a werewolf, essentially making Jake and Haley [[HeinzHybrid Heinz Hybrids]]]].
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Whenever something supernatural happen around him, Jonathan thinks it is something normal. One episode he ends up in a tea shop full of mythical creatures yet doesn't even question about it.

[[folder:Susan Long]]
[[quoteright:295:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sulong_1639.PNG]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/LaurenTom

Jake and Haley's mother. She has no magical powers, since they skipped her generation. She is reluctant to reveal her family's heritage to her husband (apparently out of the fear that he will abandon her), and to this end, lies to her husband about Jake's business, sometimes letting Jake take the fall.

* AffectionateNickname: "Lotus Blossom" by her father.
* BenevolentBoss: Susan is seemingly on very good terms with her three employees in her catering company.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: She's very good at cooking and even has her own catering company.
* GoodParents: Not shown a lot, but Susan has shown to be an attentive and caring mother to her kids, but knows when to discipline them.
* HappilyMarried: While their marriage isn't given a lot of focus, she and Jonathan have been shown to deeply love one another. Heck, they're even HighSchoolSweethearts.
* HighSchoolSweethearts: She, and her future husband Jonathan, would meet and date each other during their junior year of Fillmore High School.
* InterspeciesRomance: Zigzagged. Susan comes from a long line of dragons but it skipped her generation, making her technically human while Jonathan was born a regular human. Also, according to one of the writers of the show on the Toonzone forums, at one point there were plans to reveal that [[spoiler:he's a werewolf]].
* MeaningfulName: Her maiden name, Luong, is Chinese for "dragon".
* MissingMom: Lao Shi's wife (Susan's mother) was never seen or mentioned.
* MuggleBornOfMages: The dragon powers skipped her generation.
* MultiEthnicName: Before marrying Jonathan, Susan's (American origin) last name was Long (Chinese origin).
* NiceGirl: Overall, Susan is a caring and decent person.

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/SandraOh

The Korean Dragon, Haley's dragon master and Jake's Home Economics teacher.

* FeminineWomenCanCook: She’s the Home economics teacher, so it’s a given.
* FirstNameBasis: "Please, call me Sun. Miss Park is so formal."
* HippieTeacher: She doesn't like being called "Ms. Park", says words like "groovy" and believes that violence is for the weak and cowardly.
* MindManipulation: Subverted, through her meditation training, Sun can calm down aggression in many people or reverse mind control. This falls apart if she’s overwhelmed though.
* MysteriousWatcher: She seems to come off as this towards Jake in her first appearance, before she turns out to be Haley's mentor.
* SecretSecretKeeper: Sun is initially shown to be this in "Half-Baked" after having witnessed Jake defeat the Krylock Demon, use magic and transform into a dragon. It’s justified as she’s later revealed to be a dragon herself and Hailey’s dragon master, the council would naturally have told her about the world dragon where she was going and she’d be familiar with Lao-shi and Jake after they defeated the Dark Dragon.
* SenseiChan: To the point that she very rarely gives out letter grades.
* SternTeacher: Averted initially, she’s really kind towards her students and especially Haley who she teaches with a combination of praise, trust and light exercises. When Haley temporarily takes over the reins of being the American Dragon however, Sun’s methods and expectations starts mirroring Lao Shi’s, much to Haley’s chagrin.
* TechnicalPacifist: This exchange during one of her fights:
-->'''Chang:''' Sun Park, I thought you were all about peace and love.\\
'''Sun:''' And what I really love is to give you a piece of this!
* TheWorfEffect: Appears to be a victim of this. She is easily defeated by Chang (twice), is blasted out of the air by The Dark Dragon in the series finale and even gets attacked by humans with soda cans in "Haley Gone Wild".
* WorfHadTheFlu: A pacifist dragon against humans means a lot of holding back. Also [[JustifiedTrope justified]] with the Dark Dragon and Chang; Chang is more experienced and violent than she is, and the Dark Dragon in the GrandFinale is so powerful that when he blasted her he was also taking on and ''winning against dozens of dragons at once, including the only two who had actually managed to defeat him in the past''.

[[folder:The Huntsman (Huntsmaster)]]
[[quoteright:217:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/huntsmaster_994.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:217: "And thus we are one step closer to our final goal: the end of all foul magical creatures, who pollute this planet."]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JeffBennett

The leader of the Huntsclan and the #4 threat to the Magical World, The Huntsman is a hateful man whose only desire is to kill every magical creature on the face of the Earth.

* AnimateDead: Huntsmans evil plan in "Act, 4 Scene 15" was to use a magical lifegiving Egyptian beetle to resurrect past generations of Huntsclan members through a ritual revolving around the moon. He intended for the animated undead army to fight the dragons and finally annihilate them. Much to Huntsmans’ chagrin, he didn’t succeed.
* AntiClimacticUnmasking: He's unmasked in his final battle with Jake, revealing...a completely unfamiliar, bald man with a nasty facial scar.
* ArchEnemy: To Jake. As season two progresses, he also becomes this to Rose.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: He's ultimately a victim of genocide, but certainly one that nobody in-universe or out is going to feel sorry for or miss in the slightest]].
* BadassCape: As leader of the Huntsclan, he wears one of these.
* BaldOfEvil: It's revealed in his final appearance that he's actually bald.
* BattleStrip: Downplayed, after getting his mask torn in "Homecoming", he rips it and most of the uniform covering his torso off.
* BigBad: The show's main villain, who's closely tied to the Jake/Rose MythArc. Most noticeable in season two, where his master plan of using the Aztec Skulls to destroy all magical creatures serves as the primary overarching threat and StoryArc.
* BirthmarkOfDestiny: And a big one he has. Though it was smaller in season one.
* BlackmailBackfire: [[spoiler: Him blackmailing Rose in "Homecoming" leads directly to his death by her hands at the end of the episode]].
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Used a pair of these in “Hero of The Hourglass” against Jake. Bonus points for it being genuine [[LaserBlade laser blades]] too.
* BladeOnAStick: He is most often seen using a cruel looking [[DoubleWeapon double-bladed]] Halberd.
* BoomHeadshot: The way he deals with the Aztec Guardian Serpent.
* BrokenPedestal: In season one, Rose clearly respects him and follows him loyally, to the point where she tells Jake that she wants to be like the Huntsman and will be once she slays Jake. After learning that Jake is the American Dragon, and then going on to realize what a deceitful, manipulative monster the Huntsman is, she loses all respect for him, and by "Homecoming", it's pretty clear that she absolutely despises him.
* ButtMonkey: He was seen as this InUniverse by his peers and the time-traveling Jake when he was a teenager. The show itself, though, portrays him as a credible threat, and makes it evident that the constant ridicule essentially caused him to snap, turning him into the intense and hateful man he is in the present day. Once his voice changes, his once tormentors are cowering in fear of him.
* ClothingDamage: Does a self-inflicted version of this in "Homecoming". After Jake slams him into an elevator door, shattering his helmet, he tears his uniform down the middle of his chest in a fit of rage, revealing just how big his dragon birthmark is.
* CoolHelmet: It's a dragon skull.
* DarthVaderClone: He's got the deep voice, cape, dark outfit, weapon, and helmet. There's even a scene in "Act 4, Scene 15" where his helmet is lowered down onto his deformed head, in a clear homage to ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.
* DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler: Killed with an irreversible wish that completely wipes him from the face of the earth. Really driven home by how, after Jake wishes that Rose was never kidnapped at birth by the Huntsclan--which should mean that Rose was never there to wish for the destruction of the Huntsclan--he's still gone]].
* DeathBySecretIdentity: [[spoiler: Discovers Jake's human form when he arrives at the location where the Aztec Skulls must be activated, and Jake is there to confront him. He doesn't survive the encounter]].
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Downplayed. There are still 13 episodes left in the show after [[spoiler: Rose kills him]], but these episodes lack an overarching plot and villain, with the Dark Dragon himself only taking center stage in the finale, leaving the Huntsman's status as the BigBad of the show secure.
* TheDogBitesBack: Played with, Huntsman’s early years in the Huntsclan had him be the Butt-monkey to both his peers and superiors. This was completely turned on its head when his voice changed (after he got thrashed by an unknown savage creature which his peers initially thought was utterly hilarious), and the young Huntsman utterly terrified his former tormentors when he vowed to destroy all dragons.
* DragonSlayer: And he has the [[BattleTrophy skull]] to prove it. Just never effective in the series though, albeit there were several close calls with different dragons.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The only reason he fails in the end is that he [[VillainBall turns his back on a known traitor]], viewing her as blackmailed into submission rather than [[spoiler: motivated to sacrifice her own life to keep all magical creatures as well as her family safe]].
* EvilLaugh: Has one every now and then. He's the only major villain with one who never gets it [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Spud.
* EvilPlan: Huntsman has tried his hand on a few over the series, all thankfully failed.
** In season 1, Huntsman has a minor one as his main goal was to have Rose succeed in slaying her own dragon.
** He also wanted to raise an army of the dead to annihilate the dragons for good.
** Season 2 turns the evil up to eleven as Huntsman sets his sights on nothing less than [[FinalSolution the total genocide of the worlds’ magical creatures]].
* EvilPoacher: Comes with being a member of the Huntsclan, aside from Dragons, one episode has his stalking a herd of unicorns in Central Park and then there’s the events of "The Hunted".
* EvilSoundsDeep: Speaks with a deep, growling voice.
* TheFaceless: He wears the skull of the first dragon he ever killed upon his head. His face is only shown after Jake slams him into an elevator door, shattering the helmet.
* FantasticRacism: He hates all magical creatures, to the point where his master plan in season two was to have them all wiped out of existence.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Has his moments when he seems to get a kick out of feigning politeness to mock his enemies, such as when he speaks to the captured Andam, Kulde, and Chang like they're honored guests in "The Halloween Bash" or when he bows to Rose and thanks her for coming to see him when she's so busy with her social life before he reveals that he knows she's a traitor in "Homecoming".
* FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence: Played with. This appears to be the root of the Huntsclan's prejudice against magical creatures, and the Huntsman himself does seem to also fall in line with this, as he personally taught Rose how dragons were disgusting and states that magical creatures "pollute this planet". However, "Hero of the Hourglass" shows that his hatred runs much deeper.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: An episode in Season 2 reveals that he was a rather wimpy member of the Huntsclan who was bullied by people more skilled than him. He's since become the #4 threat to all magical beings.
* FurAndLoathing: Donned a brown fur cloak in season 1, further distinguishing him from the other members of the Huntsclan. It is more than likely that he killed and skinned it himself.
* GoneHorriblyRight: He raised Rose to be the best of the Huntsclan, as a star pupil who will slay a dragon. [[spoiler:She helps to defeat a dragon, after wiping him and the Huntsclan out]].
* HateSink: Not only does he wear the skull of a dragon he murdered as a helmet, he's frequently shown to have zero compassion for even his own clan. To show how he's more monstrous than any creature he's slain, he kidnapped a baby from her family, molded her into his apprentice, and threatened the lives of her family when she begins to rebel.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Attempts to wish all magical creatures out of existence, only to have his wish turned against him by his protege]].
* HonorBeforeReason: Huntsman doesn’t have much in the way of honor, but he believes in doing thing “the Huntsclan-way” when dealing with dragons, which is meant to be ritualistic time consuming killing, justified at times since Huntsman has the dragons at his mercy and they don’t seem to have a chance of escape.
** The Huntsclan captures three members of the Dragon council and ties them up in an open area where they can easily be spotted and then waits until he can have Rose kill them. This provides ample time for a small force to come to the dragons’ rescue.
** Briefly captures Jake early in "The Hunted", but instead of killing him, he makes Jake partake in the Grand Equinox Hunt, which provides him a chance of escape alongside the other captives.
** In "The Academy" instead of killing Jake himself when the Huntsclan has the dragon cornered, Huntsman orders Rose to kill him in a gladiator arena at a later time, which gives Jake and Rose the time to plan a risky but successful escape.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: The Huntsclan's annual Grand Equinox Hunt.
* ImpliedDeathThreat: He does this twice in season two.
** This being a Disney show, this is how the writers got away with him threatening Rose's family in "Homecoming".
--->'''The Huntsman''': I assure you, they're quite safe, and they'll remain that way as long as you do exactly as I say and bring me those skulls. Tonight.
** He even does this to Rose herself in "Breakout", when she suggests she's going to refuse bringing him the pelt of the dragon she "killed".
--->'''The Huntsman''': Then I shall take your refusal as an admission of treason. You of all people know the consequences of betraying the Huntsclan.
* InTheBack: Rose blasts him from behind with her staff. Twice. The first time, in "Breakout", only knocks him out. The second time, [[spoiler: in "Homecoming", he doesn't recover from]].
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Killed by his own protege, who uses a wish he planned to use to wipe him from existence forever]].
* KickTheDog: His entire relationship with Rose is founded on him emotionally abusing her. In particular, him telling Rose to not come home if she doesn't have an abominable snowman pelt in "Ski Trip" seems to be there for no other reason to make the Huntsman look like a dick and make us feel bad for Rose.
* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler: Rose lets him start his wish, but she makes sure he doesn't get to finish it]].
* KnightOfCerebus: A serious and threatening villain for a Disney Channel series. There's a good bet that, when the show reaches its darkest moments, it's because of him. It reaches a head in the last act of "Homecoming", when his actions have left Jake the most angry, heartbroken, and perhaps even desperate he ever gets throughout the course of the show's run.
%%* KnightTemplar
* LeanAndMean: You'd never guess it based on the picture above, but as revealed in "Hero of the Hourglass", he was this in his youth.
* LookOnMyWorksYeMightyAndDespair: Not only does the girl he personally raised to serve him as his apprentice break through the anti-magical creature propaganda and start to become the Magical World's inside person in the Huntsclan, but [[spoiler: the crusade he initiates to hunt down and use the Aztec Skulls for ridding the planet of magical creatures ends up directly dooming the whole clan to near extinction]].
* MadeOfIron: In "Hero of the Hourglass" (and in the span of seconds!) he first takes a flagpole straight to the face, sending him flying back several meters (he lands on his feet!), he then gets slammed into an extremely thick and solid concrete pillar hard enough to crack it all the way through. He's still conscious and can even run away from the falling pillar.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Wants little more than the destruction of all magical creatures.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:He helped raise Rose by lying to her about her origins and making her TheAce. This means she's in the perfect position to turn against them as a Mole, especially when she finds out she was kidnapped as a baby. Threatening Rose's parents to get her to comply ends up convincing her to wipe out all the Huntsclan, including herself, to ensure the Huntsman can never hurt them or anyone again]].
* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler: When the Aztec Skulls get through with him, his cape is all that's left]].
* NoNameGiven: He's just called "The Huntsman", or "Huntsmaster" by his followers.
* PetTheDog: Rarely happens, but he does save Huntsgirl occasionally in season one and gets her medical attention when her leg is hurt.
%%* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain
* PragmaticVillainy: Although he hates magical creatures, he’s not above cutting deals with them to get what he wants. Surprisingly, he doesn’t kill them after the trade is done, perhaps because his endgame is to kill them all anyway.
* ProperlyParanoid: He's either that or CrazyPrepared, given he kept track of Rose's parents for fourteen years in the off-chance she rejected her Huntsclan upbringing and he needed to blackmail her into doing his bidding.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: In Season One, his eyes were glowing red pinpricks under his mask. Season two goes with more humanlike eyes, which actually ups the scare factor with him as it shows that he's human.
* SadisticChoice: Presents one to Rose once he finally learns that she's a traitor. He tells her she can get him the remaining Aztec Skulls and help him kill all magical creatures, or he'll kill her parents.
* SameCharacterButDifferent: In season one, he's a sinister yet rather enigmatic figure who is all about hunting magical creatures, to the point where he's even willing to do business with magical creatures and willing to give his prey a sporting chance (as seen with the ten minute head start prisoners of the Grand Equinox Hunt are afforded). Come season two, and he's more of an aggressive, brutish BadBoss who goes full on [[ANaziByAnyOtherName nazi]] by wanting to exterminate all magical beings. WordOfGod is that this was an intentional change to try and address how kids at a test screening didn't understand the Huntsman as a character.
* SmugSnake: If he thinks that things are going his way, he can be very, very smug. "The Halloween Bash" is a perfect example.
* StrangerBehindTheMask: He's never shown without his mask, until his final appearance where the helmet breaks. When we finally do get to see who he really is, it turns out he's a total stranger.
* SuperStrength: He possibly has this. He is shown punching through a brick wall, is barely fazed by being slammed head-first through an elevator door, and he then rips one of the pulleys from the shaft and slams it onto the ground in a fit of rage.
* TopHeavyGuy: In his season two design, his upper half is noticeably much more muscular than his lower half.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: He's a genocidal, child abducting and brainwashing maniac who wears the skull of the first dragon he ever killed as a trophy. In a Disney cartoon. And yes, whenever he shows up, [[KnightOfCerebus the stakes rise and the tone of the show becomes more serious]].
* VillainBall: Y'know Huntsman, if you had just executed Rose after she gave you the last Aztec Skull and defeated Jake, [[spoiler: she never would have had the chance to shoot you from behind and wish for your death]].
* TheVillainKnowsWhereYouLive: [[spoiler: He's been spying on Rose's parents her whole life. In "Homecoming", when he threatens her parents, he presents her with live footage of them sitting at their kitchen table, proving that he's not bluffing]].
* VillainRespect: Huntsman sometimes does show some respect for his opponents.
** After Huntsman discovers [[spoiler: that Rose is a traitor, Huntsman brings several other Huntsmasters to corner her, which still wasn’t enough to take her in. Justified since he trained her and is thus fully aware of what Rose is capable of when the chips are down]].
** He tells Laoshi in "Shapeshifter" that he “Will make a fine trophy”, acknowledging the elder dragons’ prowess during battle.
* VillainousVow: The end of "Hero of the Hourglass" reveals that he made one as a teenager.
-->'''The Huntsman''': Dragons! I will slay each and every one of them, if it takes until the end of time!
* WallOfWeapons: He had several hidden behind bookcases in his study in season 1.
* WouldHarmASenior: Seeing as he's Jake's Dragon Master, Lao-Shi is one of the Huntsman's primary targets. Perhaps best exemplified in "Shapeshifter", when Lao-Shi is pinned down from the collapsing lair's debris, and despite Rose urging him to get out, the Huntsman instead takes the opportunity to try going for the kill.
* WouldHurtAChild: There's the fact that, under his leadership, the Huntsclan Academy punishes its students by forcing them to fight a kraken, for one. Also, when he was about to use the Aztec Skulls to kill all magical creatures in "Homecoming", one of the dragons present and being restrained was an 8 year old girl.
* YankTheDogsChain: Does this to Rose and (more indirectly) Jake in "Homecoming". Both Rose and Jake seem to have what they want right in front of them--Rose escaping the Huntsclan and finding her family, and Jake getting to go to the dance with Rose. And then the Huntsman reveals he knows Rose has betrayed the Huntsclan and forces her to get the remaining three Aztec Skulls.

[[folder:TheHuntsclan]]
An ancient organization that hunts dragons, steals magical items and works to annihilate all magical creatures. One of the series’ primary villains.

* AcademyOfEvil: The Huntsclan academy in a nutshell. It’s a training facility for a small army of future dragon slayers, thieves and assassins. Classes include “Dragon Slaying 101” where they learn their opponents’ weak spots, to not show any mercy and how to make poisons. Female students don’t discuss what’s best to wear, but how best to get dragon blood out of clothes. This place doesn’t use detentions, instead, misbehaving students get to fight a Tyrannosaurus-sized magical creature to the death (most likely the students’) in an arena for all of the school to see. Aside from these pleasant experiences, this place is still a school with cliques and rumours, which means it’s rife with inter-student fights.
* AncientTomb: The Huntsclan maintain a secret one for their fallen members beneath Central Park.
* ApeShallNeverKillApe: Averted. If you’re a member and fail, then there’s a good chance you’ll get killed. Same goes for traitors. It’s implied that they also kill normal people that learn about their existence (or find their hidden tomb).
* {{Archenemy}}: [[SarcasmMode Surprisingly]], to the dragons (potentially the rest of the magical world as well).
* BadassArmy: As the Hutnsclan largely consists of Dragonslayers, Badass normals, monster hunters and Tykebombs, it’s hard for them not to be!
* BirthmarkOfDestiny: Many Huntsclan members sport one shaped like a dragon somewhere on their body and the clan makes a concentrated effort to get people with the mark to join, going so far as to kidnap infants.
* BladeOnAStick: The basic Huntsclan armament is a vicious dualsided halberd.
* DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler: All the Huntsclan was wished destroyed by Rose in “Homecoming”. #88 and #89 survived, but only because of a loophole written in the Huntsclan bylaws]].
* DesecratingTheDead: Befitting their nature as poachers, any magical being they murder gets treated like hunted game. For dragons in particular (who are [[HalfHumanHybrid essentially part human]], mind you), their heads get turned into helmets for their murderer to wear, while the rest of their bodies can get skinned and hung up on the wall.
* TheDragonSlayer: Recognized members of the Huntsclan have slain a dragon and carries the skull on their head like a helm.
* DrillSergeantNasty: The Huntress from “The Academy” wastes no time to insult and torment prospective Huntsclan trainees with a vicious obstacle course while cracking a whip over their heads.
* {{Expy}}: Of the Footclan, hints include the ninjaesque habits and that the masks of lower ranked members have a bright red clan symbol (a stylized “H”) on the forehead.
* FantasticRacism: They hate magical creatures with a passion, however, this doesn’t’ stop the clan from making deals with them when it suits their needs.
* {{Foil}}: The human destroyers and thieves to the Dragons’ magical guardians and cops.
* HandicappedBadass: One Huntsclan teacher at the academy had lost an eye and an arm and replaced them both with [[ArtificialLimbs cybernetic implants]]. The badass comes in from the dragon skull he wears.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Aside from being indicated in the groups’ name, the Huntsclan preaches the destruction of Dragons and other powerful magical creatures, usually by hunting them down in their Grand Equinox hunt.
* KillEmAll: [[spoiler: How they're dealt with, thanks to Rose]].
* MagicFromTechnology: Their technology is extremely advanced and widely diverse. In season one it was used sparingly with more focus on traditional hunting methods, such as arrows and hunting dogs, while in season two it got turned up several notches.
** [[ScarilyCompetentTracker A tracking device that enables them to find dragons when they’re in dragon form]].
** Flying discs that they use for transport.
** Genuine teleportation devices, in “The Academy” it was even implied that the Huntsclan have been using that sort of technology for hundreds of years.
** Artificial limbs for their wounded members.
** Naturally they use the technology to create dangerous weapons, including Bona Fide Laser blades, bows that fire magical arrows and staves that shoots energy beams. Taking it a bit far in season one where Rose’s staff can also turn into a snowboard.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: In both season one and two, their basic members dons menacing masks.
* MassOhCrap: Two of them, each equally justified and epic.
** In “Fools’ Gold” a regiment of Huntsclan aren’t thrilled to learn that a dragon has led them into an ambush, with a small army of magical creatures emerging to fight them. And it gets even more pronounced as said dragon instructs one of the creatures (a giant) to go for the Huntsman himself.
** [[spoiler: Their reaction as Roses’ wish of destruction take effect]].
* NoHonorAmongThieves: Surprisingly averted in Season One, come season two, it’s not really present.
** As nefarious as their code of conduct is, they do have loyalty towards each other such as one member that carries an unconscious Rose to safety in “Halloween Bash” or Huntsman checking up on his student when she was injured in “Act 4, scene 15”.
** The clan also honors their deceased with [[MemorialStatue statues]] and a nice tomb which they guard with great zeal. Though this didn’t top Huntsman from trying to animate their deceased members to annihilate the dragons for good.
* ObviouslyEvil: Wears the skulls of dragons on their heads in a setting where dragons are the good guys. The fullface masks and dark military uniforms only accentuates it. Season one the regular members had hoods and red eyes.
* TheOrder: Of thieves, kidnappers and murderers, mirroring the dragons.
* TykeBomb: The Huntsclan academy trains them in bulk and a few are skilled enough to take out the Huntsman himself (admittedly his guard was likely down at the time) as collateral during a spat.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: The Huntsclan has several characteristics of a cult of murderers and thieves bent on destroying the magical world, essentially wanting to commit genocide and replenishes their own ranks by kidnapping newborns straight from the arms of their parents. If anyone is in doubt, that’s pretty heavy for a kids’ cartoon.
* WouldHarmAChild: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Oh. Yes. They. would!]] It doesn’t matter if the child in question is magical or not, if the kid is in the way, it will be harmed, killed if necessary. The Huntsclan even use this as a way of disciplining unruly students at the academy, letting the kids fight battles to the death against huge magical monsters, in front of an audience.

[[folder:The Dark Dragon]]
[[quoteright:295:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/darkdragon_7252.PNG]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ClancyBrown

The #1 threat to the Magical World and apparently the only dragon to ever go bad, The Dark Dragon hates all humans and wishes to overthrow the human race, not to mention to convert all of the world's dragons to his side.

* ArchEnemy: As the #1 threat of the Magical World, he could be seen as this to all magical creatures. On a more personal level, he's this for Lao-Shi, as Lao-Shi defeated him in the past.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: At the end of "Being Human", thanks to a drop of Jake's blood]].
* BreathWeapon: Like all dragons, he breathes fire.
%%* TheCorrupter
* DarkIsEvil: Is named the ''Dark'' Dragon and is the #1 threat to the magical world.
* DragonSlayer: Up until he faced Lao-shi, he had destroyed every dragon that didn’t join him.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Before Lao Shi, nobody ''survived'' a fight with him. Then young Lao Shi defeated and apparently drowned him. Then in season 1, Jake (who had barely escaped him in their first encounter) masterminds his defeat [[spoiler: and first death]], and in the series finale, when he had been empowered to the point that dozens of dragons were no match for him, Rose put him down for good.
* DiabolusExNihilo: To quote Fu Dog: "No one knows who he is or where he came from, only that he's been consumed by powerful dark magic."
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: In Season 1, his appearance was very similar to Jake's, just [[PaletteSwap with the colors altered]]. In Season 2, his dragon form has four horns, and is much bigger and more demonic in stature.
* TheDreaded: He's the #1 threat to the Magical World for good reason. His reputation seems to be so fearsome that, when Jake declares that the Dark Dragon intervened during his last dragon trial, the response from the dragon onlookers is shocked gasps and whispers. As an added bonus, even the Dark Dragon himself thinks he should be considered this trope.
-->'''The Dark Dragon''': Lao-Shi is an old fool who got very lucky once! I see he hasn't yet taught you to fear me.
%%* EvilIsHammy
* EvilLaugh: Spud won't shut up about how cliched his laugh is in "Hong Kong Longs".
* EvilSoundsDeep: Courtesy of of Creator/ClancyBrown.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Trapped inside a temple for 1,000 years]].
* FantasticRacism: Sort of the opposite of the Huntsman, as he sees humans as inferior.
* FinalBoss: He's the final villain Jake must defeat in the series.
* GreaterScopeVillain: The #1 threat to the Magical World has a speaking role in all of three episodes.
* HeroKiller: "Dragon Summit" tells us that the Dark Dragon has killed every dragon that has ever opposed him, save for Lao-Shi. Ultimately, this winds up subverted, however. Although the Dark Dragon does manage to defeat all of the world's dragons in "Hong Kong Longs", everyone survives the battle against him.
* InTheHood: Wears one in "Dragon Summit" when he meets with Chang.
* JoinOrDie: This is his stance when it comes to where the other dragons of the world stand in relation to his goals and is presumably why he's killed so many dragons.
-->'''The Dark Dragon''': I tried to give you all the chance to join me in ruling the world, but the American Dragon has just sealed your destruction!\\
'''Jake''': If we have to choose between destruction and joining you, we'll take destruction every time!\\
'''The Dark Dragon''': Then you shall have it, starting with your own grandfather!
* KnightOfCerebus: Whenever he appears, there's great cause for alarm, and Jake [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness stops joking around]] when going up against him, due in part to the personal danger he and his servants cause toward Jake's friends and family.
* LargeAndInCharge: His size is easily comparable to a giants’. In season two it’s practically taken up to eleven, being two-three stories tall, easily dwarfing other dragons. Naturally, The dark Dragon intends to lead the army he’s gathering.
* LargeHam: "You have no idea of my DARK POWERS!"
* MisanthropeSupreme: Has intense hatred for humans.
* NoNameGiven: He's just "The Dark Dragon".
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He boasts about making a better world for his fellow dragons and magical creatures. However, he's killed off dragons for refusing to take his side and doesn't bat an eye at the magical creatures who he has to kill because they reject his ambitions. If this really was his goal, it's become less of one and more an excuse for world domination.
* OneManArmy: In "Hong Kong Longs", he singlehandedly curbstomps all the dragons of the world.
* PaletteSwap: In Season 1, his appearance is similar to that of Jake's Dragon form, with a similar jawline, body pattern, and hairstyle, only black and purple. Season 2 gives him a much more distinct appearance along with being black and blue.
* ShockAndAwe: He is shown shooting lightning from his fingers in "Hong Kong Longs".
* TheSpook: No one knows who he is, where he came from or why he developed a hatred for humans, only that he is more powerful than the other dragons.
* SuperStrength: He is a dragon, after all.
* SuperToughness: Even more so than regular dragons, he first displays this by swimming around in a pool of lava the first time he and Jake meet, not showing any signs of discomfort. Justified, as he’s both a dragon and juiced up on dark magics.
* TakingYouWithMe: He tries to do this to Jake and [[spoiler: Rose]] at the end of "Hong Kong Longs" as he's about to become trapped in the temple.
* TemptingFate: In the series finale, upon defeating all of the world's dragons, he asks if there is anyone who could challenge him. [[spoiler: Rose]] heard him and was willing to accept the challenge.
* TrueFinalBoss: He outlasts the [[BigBad The Huntsman]], and serves as the main antagonist of the series finale. Despite having a relatively small role compared to the Huntsman, he can’t be considered a PostFinalBoss, since he’s always considered [[EvilerThanThou the far greater threat of the two.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: In his season two design.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Wants to create an army of magical creatures to aid him in taking back the world from humans.
-->'''The Dark Dragon''': Greetings my dragon brothers and sisters! Allow me to propose another toast: to dragons ruling the world!
