* TooDumbToLive: Once her son Otwa brings Teegra to her and Roleil discovers through her magic that Queen Juliana and Nekron desire her, Roleil immediately gets the bright idea to try and ''sell'' Teegra back to the evil SorcerousOverlord. Her plan isn't even to bargain with Juliana herself, it's to demand payment for her from the Sub-Humans chasing Teegra... the Sub-Humans who are vicious, of questionable intelligence, have been ordered to bring Teegra to Icepeak or '''die''', and outnumber Roleil and Otwa. [[spoiler:It should come as no surprise that instead they follow Otwa back to Roleil's house, murder mother and son, then just ''take'' Teegra for free.]]

%%* * DumbMuscle: He's strong enough to snap an iron chain with ease between his bare hands, but his facial features and lack of speech imply that he's rather stupid. [[spoiler:The prequel comic reveals this is due to brain damage from an axe-blow to the head that he barely survived.]]

FrazettaMan: This He's a roughly 9ft tall human with heavy, slouching features and almost ape-like proportions, with arms that dangle down to his knees, a round, barrel-like body, and going about naked save for a loincloth and his own long, shaggy mane of red hair. He speaks only in grunts and sighs, though Roleil implies he can also speak to the Sub-Humans, and generally seems quite dimwitted.
* GentleGiant: Invoked. Roleil tries to calm a nervous Teegra by assuring her that her son Otwa is a gentle

** Ambiguous and downplayed in the film proper. [[spoiler:It's ambiguous if the Sub-Humans stabbed him in the back at their meeting place and he lived long enough to stagger home to his mother, or if they tricked him into leading them to Roleil's hut first and then stabbed him.]]

* AmbiguouslyGay: He is disgusted with the thought of mating with Teegra (who is an extremely attractive) and looks forward to the prospect of fighting Larn. Although he later claims having have second thoughts on taking Teegra as his concubine, he likely said to Taro's face to let his guard down. Of course, his "lesser beasts" comment about Teegra also might make him AmbiguouslyBi and brings implications that the thought of mating with those outside of his own ethnic group offends him, ironic considering his parents don't appear to be of the same group. The prequel comic has him show no opposition to marrying Teegra after the rest of the House of Firekeep has been slain, but does voice concern about how Firekeep's allies won't like the royal family been slain and the remaining heir forced to marry him, suggesting he was only opposed to the idea when Teegra was right there in front of him, possibly being unhappy with what he saw.

* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Subverted. Queen Juliana orders Nekron's minions to kidnap Teegra as a consort or concubine for her son. Nekron is instead absolutely revolted by the idea of mating with Teegra. In the prequel comic, he shows no opposition to the idea, being more worried about how Firekeep's allies would react to the royal family being killed with only Teegra spared to be forced into marriage to him. By the film, it is entirely possible that he was not impressed with what he saw one she was brought before him.

* HalfBreedDiscrimination: In the prequel comic, she dismissively refers to Teegra as "that insipid half breed panther girl", apparently not thinking highly of her parents coming from two different tribes. However, this is also a case of hypocrisy as the comic also shows others of her and Nekron's tribe, who all have the same white hair Nekron has, meaning Juliana's dark hair is a product of one of her parents having come from another tribe.

* BarbarianHero: Downplayed in that he has the look, but so does every other male character, and is referred to in the trailer as the last of a mighty warrior tribe, but seems to be very early into his own career as a warrior in contrast to his ally Darkwolf, who clearly has a few decades of experience under his belt. The prequel comic does show that he has experience as a hunter however, with the first scene showing him out with a hunting party.

* AdaptationalModesty: While she still wears what is essentially the ancestor of the bikini, in the prequel comic she wears over it a dress more like Juliana's.



* AmbiguousSituation: The appearance of his likeness in the ruins of a city brings up the question of just what Larn's mysterious ally is. Is he a god? The ruler of a fallen city state? A member of a tribe whose warriors just wore masks like that? A descendant of whoever the statue depicts? It is never established what Darkwolf is besides an enemy of Nekron.

The prequel comic has Teegra make mention of a providential figure who watches over her people, whom Jarol views as the mysterious protector of her storybooks, a myth, a folktale to comfort the old in their hovels and frightened children in their beds and the reader may very well interpret Darkwolf as being this figure.
