* {{Retrocognition}}: He can see what happened in a given place just by concentrating himself a few seconds (picture).

* EunuchsAreEvil: Want to know why Bombaata was the only man trusted around Jehnna? The novelization of the film mentions that he is a eunuch, so he is incapable of taking her virginity. In the film, his eunuch status is implied when Jehnna teases him about not being a "real man".

* TheLoad: He's quite a useless goofball, except when he remembers that his "brother's sister's cousin" told him there's a [[CaveBehindTheFalls cave behind the waterfalls of Shadizar]] with a SecretUndergroundPassage leading directly to the palace. And it proves to be true. (Exactly why his "brother's sister" wasn't also his sister is something he doesn't explain; fortunately, the secret entrance is there.)

* TheLoad: He's quite a useless goofball, except when he remembers [[KnowsAGuyWhoKnowsAGuy someone close to someone from his family]] told him there's a [[CaveBehindTheFalls cave behind the waterfalls of Shadizar]] with a SecretUndergroundPassage leading directly to the palace. Which proves to be true.
* LovableCoward: He cowers under a stone altar in the opening fight and tends to avoid fighting whenever he can.

[[folder:Jehnna]]
[[quoteright:223:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jehnna_9700.png]]
-> Played by: Olivia D'Abo

The princess of the kingdom of Shadizar and niece of Queen Taramis.

* BirthmarkOfDestiny
* BodyguardCrush: Has one on Conan.
* ComingOfAgeStory: At the beginning of the film, Jehnna is spoiled, naive, and immature. By the end of the film, she's the dignified ruler of her late aunt's kingdom.
* DistressedDamsel: She has to be rescued ''twice'' in the film.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Although she can definitely behave like an annoying brat, Jehnna does have a compassionate side; as seen when she convinces Conan to save Zula from the villagers who are tormenting her.
* HandsOnApproach: A drunk Conan sees Zula giving Jehnna fighting lessons with a staff, and interrupts so that he can teach her to use a "real" weapon. Since Jehnna can't even lift his sword on her own, he stands behind her and helps her. It's clear that she was ''immensely'' turned on by this, but Conan didn't notice or care.
* HopelessSuitor: She becomes irreversibly smitten with Conan, but after learning that he loves another woman who is an ActionGirl, she tries (and fails) to toughen up to gain his interest.
* TheIngenue: She's innocent and doesn't know much about life beyond the palace she lived in, although she still has RoyalBrat tendencies.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: When asking Bombaata about Conan, Jehnna mentions that Bombaata is the only man she's ever known and she's never known a "real man." If you've only seen the movie you may be wondering what Jehnna meant by this remark. But the novelization mentions that Bombaata is a eunuch, making Jehnna's comment a lot more understandable - and mean.
* LoveAtFirstSight: It's more like a schoolgirl crush, but she wanted Conan the moment she saw him. After being repeatedly saved by him, though, she flat out offers for him to be her queen.
* OddFriendship: With Zula. She asks Zula for advice on how to woo a man, and isn't sure how to react when Zula encourages her to "grab him!". She later seems pleased that Zula feels welcome in the group and asks Zula to teach her how to wield a staff in combat.
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: She's the only one who can touch the Heart of Ahriman.
* PrincessesRule: Becomes the ruler of Shadizar at the end.
* RoyalBrat: Jehnna starts out as having a haughty and bossy attitude, believing that everybody should obey her because she's the princess. Although by the end of the film she does become more humble and fair in her treatment of others.
* SaveThePrincess: What Conan, Malak, Akiro and Zula do in the climax, as she's about to be sacrificed to awaken Dagoth.
* ScreamingWoman: She screams quite a lot, and it doesn't help at all.
* ShelteredAristocrat: Prior to the events of the film, she has never been outside of the royal palace. Her sheltered upbringing manifests itself in the fact that she's ''very'' naive about many things.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Many of Jehnna's outfits are quite revealing, especially considering that she's only in her early-to-mid teens.
* TargetedHumanSacrifice: Dagoth's summoning ritual requires Jehnna to be sacrificed. Whether the virgin Jehnna ''herself'' must be sacrificed, or whether any virgin would do, is unclear.
* UnexpectedSuccessor: Jehnna was supposed to die as a human sacrifice to Dagoth. Instead, she assumes the throne after Queen Tamaris dies by Dagoth's hand.
* VirginSacrifice: Taramis' plan depends on the fact that Jehnna is still a virgin. She actually tasks Bombaata with making sure that the princess retain her virginity.
* WomenPreferStrongMen: She has a crush on Conan, who's basically the strongest man around.

[[folder:Toth-Amon]]
[[quoteright:245:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/14726-3763_7382.jpg]]
-> Played by: Pat Roach

* AchillesHeel: The key to defeat the Man Ape? [[spoiler: ''Smashing the mirrors around him'']].
* AdaptationalWimp: He is clearly a nod to the character Thoth-Amon from classic Conan literature. However, while the original Thoth-Amon was a genuine threat so great that Conan was terrified despite having an army at his back, the movie's version is a standard (albeit powerful by the movie series' standards) wizard and illusionist that Conan almost defeats by accident.
* AncientKeeper: Of the Heart of Ahriman.
* {{Animorphism}}: Turns himself into a giant ethereal bird to kidnap Jehnna.
* AntagonistAbilities: He himself is a MasterOfIllusion and SummonMagic, which means he doesn't even need to fight you directly. His beast minion has a number of "unfair" abilities as well, such as {{Intangibility}}, which makes swords and melee attacks worthless.
%%* ArcVillain
%%* BeardOfEvil
* TheBrute: His illusion nicknamed "[[AllThereInTheManual Man Ape]]". It takes the form of a seemingly invincible and ''[[WrestlerInAllOfUs wrestling]]'' humanoid beast.
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler: Possibly. It seems like he always wanted to know why Jehnna was the only one allowed to touch the Heart of Ahriman. As Conan impaled him, he had nothing to lose and finally touched it, then vanished]].
%%* DiscOneFinalBoss
%%* EvilSorcerer
* MageTower: His castle.
%%* MasterOfIllusion
* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler: The Man Ape's body turns into mirror shards, and Toth Amon himself vanishes upon touching the Heart of Ahriman]].
* RedRightHand: Toth Amon is one-eyed.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: CastTheExpert.

[[folder:Dagoth]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/statueaa2_8892.png]]
-> Played by: Wrestling/AndreTheGiant

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Dagoth is vulnerable if his horn is forcibly removed.
* ArtifactOfDoom: His horn, which must be placed in a statute of Dagoth to resurrect him.
* {{Bishonen}}: His statue depicts him as an attractive young man. If you summon him without sacrificing Jehnna, [[OneWingedAngel however]]...
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: The climax has Conan besting him in combat.
* EldritchAbomination: The botched sacrificial ceremony unleashes him into this form.
%%* FantasticFragility: His horn.
* GodOfEvil: His resurrection will cause an ApocalypseHow. It's unclear, but it ranges from Planetary to Universal, and is ''hinted'' at a Metaphysical Annihilation. However, the prophecy is so vague some assume that Dagoth will reward those who align with it.
* HornedHumanoid: With the horn equipped, his statue depicts him as a horned man. In his physical form, he's a horned, vaguely human-shaped monster.
* OneWingedAngel: Just look at the image above and compare it with the one bellow.
* MythologyGag / {{Homage}}: Dagoth sounds very similar to Dagon, a well-known deity featured in both Caananite mythology, and HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos as the god of the Deep Ones. Robert E. Howard was a correspondent of HP Lovecraft. Dagoth's monster form looks rather similar to a deformed Deep One or even Cthulhu himself. He even has the title of "The Dreaming God."
* SealedEvilInACan: He resides in a statue depicting him as a handsome young man.
* WorfHadTheFlu: The sacrifice was botched, making it far easier to deal with.

* BigDamnHeroes: She hurls a spear into the Grand Vizier's chest before he can sacrifice Jehnna. Not only does this save Jehnna's life, but it results in Dagoth materializing in a weak form, rather than a world-destroying form.
