History Characters / IceAge

** He also hates being called fat claiming he’s poofy.
* BigGood: Throughout the entire series he’s one to his herd and family. The wider community of mammals usually seems to look to him as a figure of authority, gathering together to celebrate his family's events or following Ellie's lead in his absence.

* GutturalGrowler: His big-cat vocalizations aside, he has a pretty husky voice, too.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Sid serves as the nice to Diego's mean and Manny's in-between. Sid, while definitely insensitive and has his moments of snarkiness and selfish behavior, is easily the most moral one of the trio and serves as TheHeart.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The in-between to Sid's nice and Diego's mean. Manny is definitely a grumpy and snarky person ([[CharacterDevelopment though he mellowed out significantly in later films]]), but the bond he develops with Sid and Diego makes it clear that he has a heart.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The mean to Sid's nice and Manny's in-between. While his CharacterDevelopment allowed him to become much nicer, Diego still isn't above engaging in acts of bullying here and there and is definitely the most snarky of the trio.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: They are genuinely concerned at the climax for Louis and astounded by his bravery, they finally except him into the gang.

* ThePigPen: He's visibly dishevelled and dirty, and various moments show he has terrible hygiene. In the first movie, he smells so bad that Carl and Frank believe him to be ''dead'' upon smelling him while he's in Diego's mouth, and in ''Collision Course'', his attempts at flirting include a GrossUpCloseUp that shows he has algae in his eyes.

[[folder:Louis]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JoshGad [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]'''Latin-American Spanish:''' Creator/ArturoCastaneda[[/labelnote]]

A teen molehog who has befriended Peaches by the time the film starts. Has a pretty obvious crush on Peaches, but lacks much self-confidence in himself, and is thus easily intimidated.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: For some reason, Louis isn't as well liked from his peers (sans Peaches) and is even dismissed by Manny.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: The quiet, shy molehog managed to be the key person to attack Gutt.
* BigDamnHeroes: In the climax, Louis stands up to [[BigBad Gutt]] and challenged him to a fight. Amused, Gutt accepted Louis' challenge, telling Gupta to let the molehog have a weapon. Louis threw the weapon into the air, distracting everyone as he burrowed into the ice, popping up by Gutt and smashing a heavy piece of ice onto Gutt's foot. The pain distracted Gutt, enabling Peaches to escape as an all-out brawl between the Sub-Zero Heroes and the pirates ensued.
* BreakTheCutie: Overhearing Peaches deny their friendship in order to fit in with the "cool kids" really hurts him.
* ButtMonkey: Louis isn't given a lot of respect by the Herd.
* CowardlyLion: Louis isn't up for hanging out with the Brat Pack, who like putting their lives on the line, but he will do so if it means helping his friends, especially Peaches.
* DemotedToExtra: Only has an "blink and miss it" non-speaking cameo in the fifth movie. His absence from being part of the main cast could possibly be because Peaches married Julian and as a result, [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he just wanted what was best for her]].
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Presumably, since Peaches marries Julian.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Louis deeply loves Peaches, but she remains completely in the dark.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Most people call him 'Weiner'.
* HopelessSuitor: Even before Peaches marries Julian, she was completely unaware of Louis's romantic feelings for her.
* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: He's a short molehog who crushes on Peaches, an enormous mammoth.
* NiceGuy: Louis is polite, loyal and holds a lot of likable traits including great dependability (as Peaches best friend).
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: He looks quite different from the other mole-hogs seen in the previous movies due to having a shorter nose, bigger ears, and a leaner body.
* PuppyDogEyes: Gives really effective ones. Either when he gazes at Peaches or when he's deeply hurt.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: A cute mole-hog who can pull of an impressive {{puppy dog eyes}}.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: With Peaches. While he's a small molehog, she's a giant mammoth.
* TookALevelInBadass: In the beginning, Louis was happy to just dig underground and staying out of danger. Come the climax, he uses his digging skills to attack Gutt to free Peaches.
* TunnelKing: Louis likes digging. A trait that helps free Peaches in the climax.
-->'''Louis:''' ''[to Peaches]'' I'm a Molehog, it's [digging] what I do. To me, it's fun.
* UndyingLoyalty: Louis proves to be very loyal to Peaches, as he willingly ventures onboard Gutt's ship and challenges him. He did not appear to be intimidated by Gutt, like most of the characters were.

!!Introduced in ''Collision Course''

Julian is a young and easygoing, fun loving mammoth who is Peaches' fiance. After they get married, their plan is to venture on their own which doesn't make him very popular with Manny and Ellie.

* BigFun: Much bigger than Manny, and much jollier as well.

* {{Keet}}: Julian is quite chipper and happy-go-lucky.

* ThePollyanna: Is constantly happy, even with the threat of the world ending.

An adventurous weasel that makes an appearance in the third film. Living in the lost world, he helps as a guide for the herd towards their kidnapped friend. He’s missing his right eye but wears a leaf as an [[EyePatchOfPower impromptu eyepatch]]. Also.. he’s ''slightly'' insane.

* HonoraryTrueCompanion: Was offered a place in the Herd but he opted to stay in the dinosaurs' jungle instead.
* IChooseToStay: Buck is offered the chance to finally leave the dinosaurs' land at the end of the third movie, and actually considers it for a moment, but ultimately chooses to stay when he realizes Rudy is still alive.

* FearlessFool: He refers to barely escaping a cave in as fun.
* JerkJock: He is the leader of the Brat Pack and is a bit shallow and egotistical.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
** He tells Peaches not to bring Louis with her during their walk, and later showed disdain for her family being "half-possum." But when he insults Peaches for her "possum heritage", she furiously calls him out for his recklessness and storms out. He does seem to show regret after Peaches berated him.
** He also shows true genuine concern at the climax while witnessing Louis standing up to Gutt to save Peaches.

A trio of snobby teen girl mammoths.

* AlphaBitch: Steffie stands out the most being very snobby while Katie and Meghan just seem to agree with everything she says.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Katie (Blonde), Meghan (Brunette), and Steffie (Redhead).
* FlowersOfFemininity: They all have flowers tucked on their ears.

[[folder:Sirens]]
[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_5058.jpeg]]

Bizarre sea monsters that take on the form of what you love most and try to tempt you into their clutches. Their true form resembles a mudskipper fish or a primitive amphibian.

A group of ground sloth who are related to Sid. Initially only mentioned in the first movie, they make a surprise apparence in ''Continental Drift'', where they dump Sid's Granny off with him under the guise of "missing" Sid.

* LackOfEmpathy: Doesn't matter if you're a family member. If they view you as an annoyance and/or inconvinence, they'll abandon you.

[[folder:Buck]]

* ButNowIMustGo: Opts to stay in the dinosaurs' jungle to hunt Rudy rather than go with the Herd. He stays with the herd in ''Collision Course''

* ServileSnarker: Diego's on the top of the food chain, but it doesn't stop Sid from snarking at him.

* ManlyGay: They are AmbiguouslyGay, and although Frank is slightly effeminite, Carl is anything but, having a deep voice and being the more firm and composed of the two.

->'''Voiced by:''' Music/KekePalmer, Ciara Bravo (''A Mammoth Christmas'') [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]'''Latin-American Spanish:''' Samantha Domínguez, Creator/MelissaGedeon (''A Mammoth Christmas'')[[/labelnote]]

* EvilCounterpart: To [[TheHero Manny.]] Both suffered the death of their family from humans, but whereas Manny learns to forgive and let go, Soto is simply more motivated to take revenge. Even as leaders, their styles couldn't be more different; while Soto frequently threatens his pack and has an "every man for himself" mentality for dealing with danger, Manny doesn't hesitate to risk his life for his herd.

* DumbDinos: Played with. All of them act more primeval and animalistic than the mammals, but their body language and facial expressions do show that they are somewhat sapient, especially the carnivores such as Momma Dino and Rudy. The ''Brachiosaurus'', however, play this trope straight, being depicted as brainless, walking mountains of meat who don’t even register two ''mammoths'' using them as slides. The ''Troodons'' also play this straight, being portrayed for the most part as goofy and clumsy [[ScavengersAreScum scavengers]] (somewhat ironically, given the common stereotype of troodontids as the smartest dinosaurs).

* EvenEvilHasStandards: They stop their pursuit of Sid when he tries to take cover with Manny and initially simply ask him to step aside so they can grab Sid and go. They’re not willing to pick a fight with a guy who was neutral to their conflict (of course, it's also possible [[PragmaticVillainy they simply recognized that Manny could easily kick their butts in a fight]]). Once Manny decides to stick up for Sid, then they turn hostile towards him.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: They stop their pursuit of Sid when he tries to take cover with Manny and initially simply ask him to step aside so they can grab Sid and go. They’re not willing to pick a fight with a guy who was neutral to their conflict (of course, it's also possible [[DirtyCoward they simply recognized that Manny could easily kick their butts in a fight]]). Once Manny decides to stick up for Sid, then they turn hostile towards him.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: They stop their pursuit of Sid when he tries to take cover with Manny and initially simply ask him to step aside so they can grab Sid and go. They’re not willing to pick a fight with a guy who was neutral to their conflict. Once Manny decides to stick up for Sid, then they turn hostile towards him.

A hyperintelligent protoceratops who seeks to rule the Lost World.

* LightningBruiser: He's strong, fast and very agile. If Manny didn't have the reflexes to use his tusks to block Gutt's swords, he could have [[JustForPun gutted]] Manny a lot earlier. He's strong enough to ''force apart a huge block of ice in order to make a new ship.''

* ChekhovsGun: For most of ''Continental Drift'', we are led to believe that Precious is just a figment of Granny's senile imagination as a RunningGag. During the climax, the Herd struggles against Captain Gutt and his crew but once Precious shows up, [[JustForPun the tide quickly turns in the heroes' favor]].

* DumbDinos: Played with. All of them act more primeval and animalistic than the mammals, but their body language and facial expressions do show that they are somewhat sapient, especially the carnivores such as Momma Dino and Rudy. The ''Brachiosaurus'', however, play this trope straight, being depicted as brainless, walking mountains of meat who don’t even register two ''mammoths'' using them as slides.

* PapaWolf: As clumsy and cowardly as Sid can be, one surefire thing that will bring out his protective instincts is his love for children. In the original film, Sid was the first of the trio to take a shine to baby Roshan and would face any kind of danger to keep him safe: even confronting a pack of hungry sabertooth cats for him. In ''Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs'', Sid grows just as fond of the baby T. Rex trio he adopted and shows his protective side towards them. He even stood up to their mother...''an adult T. Rex''.

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: He does it constantly (i.e. the second time he encountered Carl & Frank). Let's face it, John Leguizamo ''truly'' has a feminine sounding scream.

* CatchPhrase: Manny has two, that relate both to his weight.

* {{CharacterCatchphrase}}: "Carl?" "Easy, Frank."

* {{Catchphrase}}: "It's time to get buckwild!"

* VagueAge: Marshall (Sid's brother) is the size of a small child but has an adult voice and acts like a snarky, disgruntled teenager.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the first movie, Sid calls out to two relatives called Bernie and Zack alongside Marshall and Uncle Fungus after waking up alone in his tree. While the latter two show up in the fourth movie, Bernie and Zack are never mentioned again. It’s entirely possible that these two family members were abandoned at some point between movies.
