* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Is much more affectionate to Gon and Killua in the Greed Island OVAs (notably telling the boys she loves them in the GrandFinale) than in the manga and 2011 versions.

* GirlyRun: Has a massive one on the 2011 anime version, where she holds this pose while chasing Gon and Killua, who are doing their best to get away from her. Considering [[{{Gonk}} her real appearance]], is pretty hilarious.
* {{Gonk}}: Her real appearance, at least in her opinion (she's enormously tall and muscular, although not exactly ugly).

12th Chairman of the Hunter Association, which administers the Hunter Exams once or twice per year. While he never fought during the exams, Hisoka feels uncomfortable around him, and Gon and Killua fails to catch a ball Netero holds in a friendly game; In fact [[TheGift Gon]] prided himself as if it was the greatest victory of his life to get Netero to use both hands. Netero appears once more in the Chimera Ant arc as the head of the extermination team after the Hunter Association is called in to stomp out a potentially world-ending threat. He receives information on the King and the Royal Guards through Colt, finds Zeno, and arrives to fight the King directly. By this point, the King has amassed so much power that Netero is less of a match and more of a matter-of-time to the King. Netero knows the King's real name (again, through Colt) and offers to tell it to him if he can defeat Netero. Netero dies ''nuking'' the King but not before he can tell the King his real name.\\\

Former Vice-chairman of the HA and Rat of the zodiac. Despised by most of the zodiac, but has a huge faction of supporters within the association. Claims to be an able negotiator and often mentions the need to save time and money, yet he's a master of needlessly complicating things. After winning the chairman election, he immediately gave the position to Cheadle before resigning from his role as Rat of the zodiac not long after. Presently he has been seen among a group of people led by Netero's possible son, Beyond. Their intention is to go to the Dark Continent, an area beyond the known world's map that has been marked as forbidden territory.

Legendary hunter, former Boar of the zodiac, Greed Island creator, Kite's mentor, Gon's father. Double hunter on the level of triple hunters, and it is stated that he could easily become a triple hunter if he wasn't so lazy. Admired by Satotz for his pioneering archaeological work. Has been absent for most of the series but recently appeared to take part in the HA election. Despite these glowing accomplishments, Ging is a selfish, rude and stubborn man. His incredible power and massive reputation belie a shy man concerned with his appearances and reputation- he doesn't want to see Gon not because he hates him, but because he's incredibly shy and is worried about what his son will think of him.

After the election's end and meeting Gon, Ging resigned from his position as Boar of the zodiac.

%%* PermaStubble:
* PowerCopying: After being struck by [[spoiler:Leorio's]] Nen ability, Ging figured out how to use it himself. It's not clear whether this is Ging's own Nen ability, or just [[AwesomenessByAnalysis being really good at analyzing other people's abilities]].

* MeditationPowerUp: He meditated for a while before fighting Meruem. And his aura was so menacing it scared Killua.

* WeakButSkilled: But only in comparison with the Chimera Ants. All members of the Royal Guard have much, much greater Nen reserves and abilities than he or any other human for that matter, but Netero is so unbelievably StrongAndSkilled by human ''and'' Ant standards that his superior experience and the sheer speed of his attacks allow him to Karate Chop the shit out of Pitou before she even knew what hit her and go mano-a-mano with the King. [[spoiler:He combos this with CombatPragmatist as Netero is petty enough to have a pocket nuke implanted in his heart in case things went sour, which they did when Meruem tanked his Nen DeathOrGloryAttack.]]

One of Morel's trainees. He normally looks and acts like a street thug and is laughably incompetent at all things except fighting. However, Knuckle is easily a match for Gon, and when the chips are down, can strategize as well as anyone else. Knuckle started out as Gon's sparring partner and seems to get stronger at roughly the same rate as Gon. Knuckle directly accompanies Gon and Killua, along with his partner Shoot, taking out Chimera Ants. Knuckle places an interest scheme on Cheetu, which freaks Cheetu out causes him to retreat. Knuckle is the main opponent against Menthuthuyoupi. He turns invisible with Meleoron's help and punches Youpi, starting the interest. Knuckle then attempts to wear him out, and it almost works if not for Youpi's attempt at killing a weakened Morau, which causes Knuckle to lose control of the fairy.\\\

* InsistentTerminology: [[spoiler:In his video will]] Netero mentions multiple times that his desire for the Hunter Association to reach the Dark Continent is just a request from an old man and it is '''not''' an order. The Zodiacs immediately realise that it is totally an order.

* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Causes a nuclear explosion that eventually kills the Chimera Ant King via radiation.]]

* BoobsOfSteel: Only in her real form. When it comes to strength, she maxes out the stat according to the official databook.

* DoesNotWearShoes: For some reason, he doesn't bother with shoes.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: It's impossible to get a read on this guy. He appears to have morals, of a sort, but he deliberately keeps them vague and contradictory to help him mess with people. When the Zodiacs break down their various political alignments, Pariston is in a group of his own - "Extreme Leftist Patriot."

* ContraltoOfDanger: Her voice deepens as she transforms into her true form. In the Greed Island OVA, she is voiced by a ''man'' in her true form.

%%* BadassBaritone

* NominalHero: A potential interpretation. Netero's willing to accept ''[[ExactWords anyone]]'' into the Hunter Association should they pass the exam, regardless of where they fall on the morality scale. During the Chimera Ant arc he definitely veers into HeroAntagonist territory; rejecting Mereum's HeelRealization because [[spoiler:he knows the Hunter Association will be held responsible by the Governments should he fail]] rather than for altruistic reasons.

* MyNameIsNotDurwood: His name was Wdwune, but since Ging changed it so that his name would serve as the "D" for Greed Island, Dwun is his official name now. He resents Ging for not only doing this without his consent, but also unnecessarily removing the final E because he forgot.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: You have to be strong if you were to become a Zodiac under Netero's rule. Since he was a BloodKnight, he demanded that a Zodiac would have to spar with him once in a while.

* AssKickingEqualsAuthority: [[spoiler:Joins Beyond's team and declares himself as the NumberTwo after clearly showing his intent to beat up anyone opposing to him.]]
