History Characters / Fantasia

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: It is portrayed as a fearsome predator that even the largest herbivores and smaller carnivores run from. It manages to withstand the strikes from a ''Stegosaurus'''s thagomizer without any major injuries and kill the herbivore. However, during the drought scene, it is shown dying of thirst, showing that [[TheWorfEffect even the mightiest dinosaur cannot avoid extinction]].

* BaitTheDog: After initially [[BadBoss tossing his gathered minions into the pit for no reason than boredom]], he then proceeds to create a trio of fiery feminine elementals in his palm as they, allowing them to dance on it, [[HiddenDepths a surprising and unexpected act that contrasts with abusive and nightmarish acts he did before]]. He then [[KickTheDog immediately changes his mind]] to [[BalefulPolymorph change the trio into increasingly horrific forms as a mockery]], twisting his hand around as they desperately cling on for life and finally crush them in his palm as he reforms them into blue demons in his own nightmarish image. Establishing that he's not just a {{Jerkass}} who raises the dead and throwing his minions to their deaths just because [[ItAmusedMe he has nothing better to do]]; but a [[CardCarryingVillain completely evil being]] who defiles and warps everything ForTheEvulz.

* ForTheEvulz: Chernobog passes the time idly amusing himself. With terrible deeds from tossing his minions to his deaths or forcing them into humiliating forms agains their will. Best established with his cruel BalefulPolymorph forced transformation onto his three fiery succubi into animals, imps and finally demons in that order out of his own amusement.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: [[BaitTheDog Create a trio of beautiful creatures made of fire that dance for him, just to subject them to]] a BalefulPolymorph until their forms suit him.
* KickTheDog: Tossing his minions into a fiery pit out of boredom and [[BalefulPolymorph transforming a trio of fiery succubi into increasingly horrific forms]] while sadistically twisting his palm as they cling on for dear life before crushing them anyway.

* {{Sadist}}: He shows diabolical pleasure in bringing his reign of terror on Earth. His almost constant maniacally smile should make it clear. Best demonstrated when he [[BalefulPolymorph transforms his female succubi trio into increasingly degrading forms until he found ones in his own image]] for no other reason that [[ForTheEvulz his own amusement]]

* InformedSpecies: While it's officially a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', the fact that it has three fingers makes it look more like an ''Allosaurus''. It's also shown battling a ''Stegosaurus'', which would have been possible for ''Allosaurus'' but not for ''T. rex''.

* HandHidingSleeves: His oversized sleeves serve to emphasize his inexperience. It's also possible they're a [[TheArtifact holdover]] from when [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Dopey]] (who also has them) was slated to play the role (note also that Mickey's shoes look very much like those of the Dwarfs as well).

* JerkassGods: purposefully crashes a party being held in honor of one of his sons, along with throwing down lightning bolts and creating a thunderstorm to distrupt the festivities even further.

* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: He's always seen in with a serious and gloomy look on his face. However if you pay attention, after sending Mickey to do his chores, he shows a weak smirk, like despite being angry at him, he was deep down [[ActuallyPrettyFunny amused by his antics]].

* ExtraDigits: Inverted-- it has three fingers instead of the actual dinosaur's two.

* FourFingeredHands: Inverted-- it has three fingers instead of the actual dinosaur's two.

!!Church Bell

The church bell that puts and end to Chernabog’s ritual.
———-
* BadassNormal: It’s a normal Church bell, yet it is enough to harm Chernabog
* BigGood: It’s ringing causes Chernabog and his servants to retreat into the shadows
* LightIsGood
———-

* EverybodyHatesHades: Chernabog was a black god, but wasn't ''evil'' as a pre-Christian Slavic deity. Subverted as Walt said he was meant to be Satan anyway, and in the roadshow version, Deems Taylor identifies him as such.

* AdaptationNameChange: Chernabog is the name of a Slavic God of Darkness and wasn't particularly evil at all, but ''Fantasia'''s version is a flat out {{Satan}}-esque demon lord weakened by sunlight and church bells and implied to be imprisoned within Bald Mountain. It's more likely than not given his trappings, the original piece's intent and the commentary of the creative team that he's simply called "Chernabog" instead of "Satan" to avoid setting off a moral panic due to appearing in a family film.
