An evil mutant pistachio tree from the future, created when Balthazar and Vinnie managed to save a pistachio tree that unbeknownst to them, had been fertilized with a mutant blob created from pistachio tree fertilizer.
->Voiced by: Rhys Darby
----
* AffablyEvil: He's introduced taking a commemorative family photo with his children after they've finished ransacking the future and capturing all of the Time Bureau agents.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: His minions are dispatched pretty quickly once Milo gets his backpack back, but King Pistachion himself is a much tougher foe, only defeated when his defenseless past self is destroyed.
* BadFuture: After growing to his full size he takes over the world in Balthazar and Vinnie's original time period.
* BigBad: The main antagonist in "Missing Milo".
* ADogNamedDog: King Pistachion is named exactly like his species.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: All of his minions are actually his own children. He shows off his family album which contains memories such as one of his children eating a congressman, a city being ransacked, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking one of his children's birthday parties.]]
* ImplacableMan: After he notices Milo and the surviving time travelers he pursues them nonstop, chasing them across the city, and even through time without letting up. He's completely unfazed after getting hit by a car, and even after Milo finally manages to harm him by siccing woodpeckers on him he ''still'' doesn't slow down. It takes destroying his younger defenseless self in the present to finally get rid of him.
* LargeAndInCharge: Much larger than any of his minions. Justified, considering that they are his children.
* LaughablyEvil: He's a legitimate threat, but also has humorous mannerisms that provide much comic relief.
* PredecessorVillain: Despite his defeat, he still casts a large shadow over the episode Fungus Among Us and the upcoming crossover as his son Derek picks up where he left off.
* RetGone: With his younger self destroyed, he and his children never existed… well, except for one…

A Pistachion that got stuck in the timestream after Dakota, Cavendish and Milo shook him off. Because of this, he still exists even after King Pistachion and his children are defeated, and ends up in 1955, where he plans another takeover by replacing humans with Pistachions. His ultimate plan is to turn all humans into Pistachions after enough have been captured.
->Voiced by: Creator/JeffBennett
----
* BadBadActing: Part of Derek's plan involved replacing Orton and using the money the Dr. Zone empire to take over the world. However while Orton was by no means a good actor himself, he was a good enough writer to gain a cult following. While Derek was 'neither' a writer or an actor. So the show ended up being so bad it was canceled after only two episodes, causing the mega-hit Dr. Zone franchise to be RetGone from the present, and delaying Derek's plan by decades.
* EvilGloating: When he outnumbers Milo, Dakota, Cavendish and Orton, Derek monologues about his evil plan, which is apparently long enough for the gang to escape. When he berates his fellow Pistachions why they didn't warn him earlier, it's because they didn't want to interrupt him.
* CaptureAndReplicate: Derek's plan (or at least Stage One of said plan) is to replace the humans with Pistachions and lock them up, until they outnumber the humans. Planning this took him about ten years, and he appears [[BadFuture to be rapidly succeeding fifty years after that]]. He himself had replaced an intern, as well as Orton Mahlson shortly before the filming of the Dr. Zone pilot episode.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Wearing the Orton mask for fifty years has caused his head to permanently take on its shape.
* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:In "The Phineas and Ferb Effect", he manages to fully convert Milo, Phineas and Ferb's friends and family into [[FaceHeelTurn evil Pistachions]], and have them cornered, alongside Dakota, Cavendish, Orton and Doofenshmirtz. If it weren't for future Doofenshmirtz, aka Professor Time, Derek would've won.]]
* ParadoxPerson: Derek has become one thanks to being stuck in the timestream, otherwise he would have ceased to exist along with his father and siblings.
* VillainousLegacy: He's flung through time and survives King Pistachion's defeat, then he launches his own plot to overthrow the human race. Cavendish and Dakota are well aware of the danger he poses and attempts to prevent his return.

* EverythingsWorseWithBears: Or at least it would be if this guy could [[HarmlessVillain land even a single punch on his primary victim]].
* HarmlessVillain: Despite being a deadly cybernetic grizzly bear out for Milo's blood, due to Murphy's Law he can't even lay a paw on Milo. Milo never even noticed he existed.
* MisplacedRetribution: Despite the Government being the ones who ruined life, he's dead set on destroying Milo for one embarrassing incident that he caused a while back.
* MoodDissonance: We learn how he was inhumanely tested on and turned into a cyborg killer to the tune of a happy-go-lucky pop song.
* {{Revenge}}: The Cyborg Grizzly wants this on Milo, for indirectly embarrassing him in "Now I Am a Murphy".
* TragicVillain: As explained in "The Mid Afternoon Snack Club", The Cyborg Grizzly started off as a happy, innocent young cub, before being tranquilized, kidnapped, and surgically modified. The Cyborg Grizzly wishes he could have just lived the life of a [[IJustWantToBeNormal normal grizzly bear]], but thanks to The Government, now he's cursed with a partially robotic body. The pent up rage pushes him to villainy.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: And can you blame him? After the way the Government treated him all throughout his life, one would begin to question who the real villain is.
* UnknownRival: In his second appearance he's after Milo for what happened to him the first time. Even after this, Milo has no idea he exists.
* UnwittingTestSubject: He never wanted to be tested on. He was tranquilized and forced into that life.

However, as Octalians aren't naturally surrounded by probability ions at all, Orgaluth gets surrounded by ''all'' the negative ones, causing Orgaluth's Law to be much more severe than Murphy's Law ever could.
* WalkingSpoiler: Pretty much everything about her is revealed as late as "Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space", the finale of Season 2.

* GagNose: His upturned nose shows off his pig-like nostrils, giving off the impression that someone like this really "[[LiteralMetaphor pigs out]]" on the lardy food at Lard World.

[[folder:C.I.D.D.]]
Short for Cybernetic Individual Domestic Droid, C.I.D.D. is a collaborative creation of Clyde Rickenbacker and Victor Verliezer. Despite Verliezer taking all the credit, C.I.D.D. has desperately looked for "zero-zero", before being reunited with his true creator, Clyde.
----
* AffectionateNickname: C.I.D.D. addresses Clyde Rickenbacker as "[[SpeaksInBinary 0-0]]" [[note]]Zero-Zero[[/note]] because he is his creator.
* CuteMachines: He sure is a cutie pie, alright.
* DarkHumor: C.I.D.D. made a quick joke about [[RobotWar robots]] [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over the world]] just to get a quick laugh out of seeing Milo, Zack, and Melissa's faces.
* DoubleMeaning: "Zero-zero" seems a bit nonsensical on the surface, but Milo figures out C.I.D.D.'s goal when applying Math Speak to it: on a graph, "(0,0)" refers to the origin, a.k.a. the starting point on the graph. When C.I.D.D. says he's looking for "zero-zero", he means he's looking for his origin, or in this case, his creator, Clyde Rickenbacker.
* FunWithAcronyms: "C.I.D.D." stands for "Cybernetic Individual Domestic Droid".
* JustAMachine: C.I.D.D. actually has the ability to feel both love and pain. He recognizes Clyde Rickenbacker as his creator and rightful owner and felt hurt when Victor physically abused him.
* RobotBuddy: To Clyde.

A creation made with Doofenshmirtz's Clone-Inator, from Cavendish's DNA. Being Cavendish's head on a platypus body, Cavenpuss is often referred to as an abomination.
->Voiced by: Jeff "Swampy" Marsh
----
* AbortedArc: In "Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space", there was originally going to be a scene where Cavenpus' egg hatched into a baby version of himself, but this was cut from the final product, due to time constraints.
* TheComicallySerious: It's hard for a distinguished gentleman, such as Cavendish, to be taken seriously when he's attached to the teeny-tiny body of a platypus.
* HalfHumanHybrid: A combination between a human and a platypus.
* MisterSeahorse: Despite being male, he still laid an egg.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: The team completely left him out of their adventure in "Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space".
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Despite "Cavenpus" with one "S" being semantically correct, due to the root words being combined, he is listed as "Cavenpuss" with two "S"s in the credits.

The Pistachions are a species of mutated pistachio trees bent on world domination. They are the first ArcVillain and the primary antagonists in [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS1E23MissingMilo Missing Milo]], [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS1E34FungusAmongUs Fungus Among Us]] and the crossover with ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', entitled [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS2E1ThePhineasAndFerbEffect The Phineas and Ferb Effect]].
----
* PlantPerson: They're anthropomorphic pistachio trees.
* RetGone: With the sole exception of Derek, the entire first generation of Pistachions were erased from existence when their father was killed before evolving.
* TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: Their king is also their dad.
* WeaksauceWeakness: They can be killed by uric acid (which is found in urine). Diogee has defeated King Pistachion this way, by peeing on his infantile form.
** Another weakness was discovered in The Phineas and Ferb Effect: [[spoiler:Wyatt Burp orange soda. The brand was discontinued when it was discovered that the soda was harmful to the environment, and since the Pistachions are PlantPeople…]]

An evil mutant pistachio tree from the future, created when Balthazar and Vinnie managed to save a pistachio tree that unbeknownst to them, had been fertilized with a mutant blob created from pistachio tree fertilizer.
->Voiced by: Rhys Darby
----
* AffablyEvil: He's introduced taking a commemorative family photo with his children after they've finished ransacking the future and capturing all of the Time Bureau agents.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: His minions are dispatched pretty quickly once Milo gets his backpack back, but King Pistachion himself is a much tougher foe, only defeated when his defenseless past self is destroyed.
* BadFuture: After growing to his full size he takes over the world in Balthazar and Vinnie's original time period.
* BigBad: The main antagonist in "Missing Milo".
* ADogNamedDog: King Pistachion is named exactly like his species.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: All of his minions are actually his own children. He shows off his family album which contains memories such as one of his children eating a congressman, a city being ransacked, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking one of his children's birthday parties.]]
* ImplacableMan: After he notices Milo and the surviving time travelers he pursues them nonstop, chasing them across the city, and even through time without letting up. He's completely unfazed after getting hit by a car, and even after Milo finally manages to harm him by siccing woodpeckers on him he ''still'' doesn't slow down. It takes destroying his younger defenseless self in the present to finally get rid of him.
* LargeAndInCharge: Much larger than any of his minions. Justified, considering that they are his children.
* LaughablyEvil: He's a legitimate threat, but also has humorous mannerisms that provide much comic relief.
* PredecessorVillain: Despite his defeat, he still casts a large shadow over the episode Fungus Among Us and the upcoming crossover as his son Derek picks up where he left off.
* RetGone: With his younger self destroyed, he and his children never existed… well, except for one…

[[folder:Derek]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/derekpnfeprofile.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:"Plants forever!"]]
A Pistachion that got stuck in the timestream after Dakota, Cavendish and Milo shook him off. Because of this, he still exists even after King Pistachion and his children are defeated, and ends up in 1955, where he plans another takeover by replacing humans with Pistachions. His ultimate plan is to turn all humans into Pistachions after enough have been captured.
->Voiced by: Creator/JeffBennett
----
* BadBadActing: Part of Derek's plan involved replacing Orton and using the money the Dr. Zone empire to take over the world. However while Orton was by no means a good actor himself, he was a good enough writer to gain a cult following. While Derek was 'neither' a writer or an actor. So the show ended up being so bad it was canceled after only two episodes, causing the mega-hit Dr. Zone franchise to be RetGone from the present, and delaying Derek's plan by decades.
* EvilGloating: When he outnumbers Milo, Dakota, Cavendish and Orton, Derek monologues about his evil plan, which is apparently long enough for the gang to escape. When he berates his fellow Pistachions why they didn't warn him earlier, it's because they didn't want to interrupt him.
* CaptureAndReplicate: Derek's plan (or at least Stage One of said plan) is to replace the humans with Pistachions and lock them up, until they outnumber the humans. Planning this took him about ten years, and he appears [[BadFuture to be rapidly succeeding fifty years after that]]. He himself had replaced an intern, as well as Orton Mahlson shortly before the filming of the Dr. Zone pilot episode.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Wearing the Orton mask for fifty years has caused his head to permanently take on its shape.
* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:In "The Phineas and Ferb Effect", he manages to fully convert Milo, Phineas and Ferb's friends and family into [[FaceHeelTurn evil Pistachions]], and have them cornered, alongside Dakota, Cavendish, Orton and Doofenshmirtz. If it weren't for future Doofenshmirtz, aka Professor Time, Derek would've won.]]
* ParadoxPerson: Derek has become one thanks to being stuck in the timestream, otherwise he would have ceased to exist along with his father and siblings.
* VillainousLegacy: He's flung through time and survives King Pistachion's defeat, then he launches his own plot to overthrow the human race. Cavendish and Dakota are well aware of the danger he poses and attempts to prevent his return.

----
* AlliterativeName: '''V'''ictor '''V'''erliezer.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The evil corporate executive of vTech, who steals other people's inventions and takes credit for making them.
* EvilAllAlong: He seems to be a pretty nice guy at first, before Milo sees how he treats C.I.D.D. backstage.
* FailedAttemptAtDrama: Failed to make a [[TheReveal dramatic entry]], when returning in "A Clockwork Origin".
* {{Flanderization}}: In his first appearance, he was merely a CorruptCorporateExecutive. He descends into full-blown villainy in his second appearance, planning to rebuild Danville's historic clock tower into a HumongousMecha that will destroy the town if he isn't paid to stop it.
* JerkAss: To the point that even ''[[NiceGuy Milo]]'' doesn't like him.

[[folder:Cyborg Grizzly]]
A grizzly bear captured by the government and made into a killer cyborg [[DidntThinkThisThrough programmed to annihilate mankind]].
----
* AttackAnimal: He was programmed to be an unstoppable government weapon and [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters went rogue]].
* {{Cyborg}}: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin He's half robot and half bear]].
* EscapedFromTheLab: The Government trapped him in a cage, which they put out in the woods, but he was able to break right through the bars and escape without them even knowing.
* EverythingsWorseWithBears: Or at least it would be if this guy could [[HarmlessVillain land even a single punch on his primary victim]].
* HarmlessVillain: Despite being a deadly cybernetic grizzly bear out for Milo's blood, due to Murphy's Law he can't even lay a paw on Milo. Milo never even noticed he existed.
* MisplacedRetribution: Despite the Government being the ones who ruined life, he's dead set on destroying Milo for one embarrassing incident that he caused a while back.
* MoodDissonance: We learn how he was inhumanely tested on and turned into a cyborg killer to the tune of a happy-go-lucky pop song.
* {{Revenge}}: The Cyborg Grizzly wants this on Milo, for indirectly embarrassing him in "Now I Am a Murphy".
* TragicVillain: As explained in "The Mid Afternoon Snack Club", The Cyborg Grizzly started off as a happy, innocent young cub, before being tranquilized, kidnapped, and surgically modified. The Cyborg Grizzly wishes he could have just lived the life of a [[IJustWantToBeNormal normal grizzly bear]], but thanks to The Government, now he's cursed with a partially robotic body. The pent up rage pushes him to villainy.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: And can you blame him? After the way the Government treated him all throughout his life, one would begin to question who the real villain is.
* UnknownRival: In his second appearance he's after Milo for what happened to him the first time. Even after this, Milo has no idea he exists.
* UnwittingTestSubject: He never wanted to be tested on. He was tranquilized and forced into that life.

[[caption-width-right:256:''Don't want to start a fight, he's trying to do what's right\\
So we ought to wish him success'']]
Originaly from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', Perry the Platypus, AKA Agent P, is the pet platypus of Phineas and Ferb, and friend/former nemesis of Heinz Doofenshmirtz. In ''Milo Murphy's Law'', he's often assigned to keep Doof in check while the former evil scientist tries to do good.
->Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker
->For tropes about Perry in the show he came from, see Characters/PhineasAndFerbMainCharacters
----
* BefriendingTheEnemy: After a 9-year-long summer of battling with Doofenshmirtz, Perry and his inator-inventing rival have buried the hatchet and become somewhat of a team of do-gooders.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Perry went from being Doofenshmirtz' nemesis to his friend,… to his nemesis again. ("Sick Day")
* LampshadeHanging: It took 4 seasons of another show and one of this one, but Melissa notes how Perry suddenly has a full parachute on.
* OldHeroNewPals: In ''Milo Murphy's Law'', Perry now has strong friendships with Milo, Zack, Melissa, Diogee, Cavendish, Dakota, Cavenpuss, a few Octaliens, and most notably, [[BefriendingTheEnemy Doofenshmirtz]].

[[folder:Recurring Raccoon]]
-->''You've seen him before, you're gonna see him soon. He's Recurring Raccoon.''
A raccoon who recurrently appears out of nowhere and inconveniences the heroes.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''R'''ecurring '''R'''accoon.
* AsideGlance: Sometimes turns to the camera and winks, when his jingle sings his name.
* CatchphraseInterruptus: In "Now I am a Murphy", his theme gets cut off as he gets captured.
-->''You've seen him before. You're gonna see him soon-''
-->''(Recurring Raccoon gets attacked by a Cyborg Grizzly)''
-->''…Okay, maybe not.''
* DiabolusExMachina: If Milo weasels his way out of every possible negative outcome of a situation, the always unforeseen Recurring Raccoon is guaranteed to show up anyway and stir up trouble.
* {{Leitmotif}}: His Jingle.
* RascallyRaccoon: He likes to randomly show up and swipe things.
* RunningGag: At an extent, literally. His shtick is that he randomly appears out of nowhere, snatches away an object (often important to the characters) and then scampers away.
* WinkDing: Sometimes does this [[AsideGlance to the camera]], after his jingle is over.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: He is a koala bear who moves faster than any other marsupial on the planet.
* {{Leitmotif}}: His jingle.
[[/folder]]
!!!The Octalians
[[folder:In General]]
A species of cephalopod aliens from the planet Octalia. A team of them has taken an interest in Milo and his condition and plots to take him to their home world for mysterious reasons.
----
* AlienAbduction: They've done this to Milo twice.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: They come in all colors.
* BornLucky: Or rather, ''not'' BornUnlucky. It's estimated that most of the Octalians don't have negative probability ions swarming around them, [[spoiler: causing Orgaluth, who ''is'' naturally BornUnlucky, getting all of the negative probability ions attracted towards her and become a WalkingDisasterArea]], resulting into the birth of the Sphere of Calamity.
* GoodAllAlong: The Octalians are introduced in a rather ominous way with little to no information about what they want Milo for, aside for his negative probability ions. It sets them up as Season 2's ArcVillain, [[SubvertedTrope but in the end]], they had no nefarious intentions and are actually quite polite. The only morally ambiguous thing they've done is abducting Milo.
* OctopoidAliens: They're colorful talking space octopuses that use four of their tentacles as arms and the other four as legs, with their funnels taking the place of ears.
* NoAntagonist: The Octalians only abducted Milo because they need him to stop a continually-growing sphere of negative probability ions [[ApocalypseHow that could potentially destroy their entire planet]].
* {{Shapeshifting}}: Octalians have the ability to shapeshift, by absorbing the molecules of a subject, so that they can take their form. However, they need to hold their breath in order to take this form and they can only hold their position for as long as they can hold their breath.
* TranslationTrainwreck: Their translators malfunction when they're near [[TheJinx Milo]] and get stuck in [[ToServeMan Dining Mode]]:
-->'''Milo''': What? You're gonna eat me?!
-->'''Commander''': No, no, what I meant to say is: you are [[LastSecondWordSwap the buffet]]. […] What I'm trying to say is that you are [[DiggingYourselfDeeper delicious. Appetizing! Scrumptious!]]
* TranslatorMicrobes: They have translation devices in their neck collars.

The leader of the Octalian crew that is sent to look for someone with negative probability ions.
->Voiced by: Joanna Hausmann
----
* ActionMom: [[spoiler:We learn this action hero has a daughter named Orgaluth]].
* DrillSergeantNasty: She is tough as nails and barks out orders to her minions.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: That one odd moment in "Sick Day" when sympathetic music started playing as Milo hugged the Commander, shapeshifted into his mother? [[spoiler: Turns out the Commander is a mother herself.]]
* LongLostRelative: In "Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space", [[spoiler:we learn that she had a daughter named Orgaluth, who they got rid of, because she emits an [[DoomMagnet aura of chaos]], known as "[[MurphysLaw Orgaluth's Law]]".]]
* NoNameGiven: Despite her being a major character with significant plot relevance and all of her lackeys being named, we still don't know what her name is.
** Even [[spoiler: her [[SatelliteCharacter daughter]] has a name, (Orgaluth), but she, herself, doesn't.]]
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female on the team.

[[folder:Loab and Khone]]
Two field agents from the Alien Commander's crew, who try (and fail) to carry out their leader's plans.
->Voiced by: John Ross Bowie (Loab) & Cedric Yarborough (Khone)
----
* DirtyCoward: Khone was this in "Milo in Space", abandoning his team when things went wrong. [[spoiler: He brought them snacks as an apology when they returned home.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: The alien commander walks all over them.
* HarmlessVillain: Loab and Khone are completely incompetent as villains. They couldn't even infiltrate Milo's house, without getting tossed around like a frisbee by Diogee. [[spoiler: Eventually revealed not to be villains at all.]]
* ThoseTwoGuys: A [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal doltish, dainty duo]], with the brains a discarded burnt potato chip.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Orgaluth (SPOILERS!)]]
The daughter of the Alien Commander. She has [[FinaglesLaw Orgaluth's Law]], the Octalian equivalent to Murphy's Law.
->Voiced by: Odessa Adlon
----
* BornUnlucky: Born with genes that attract negative probability ions, like the Murphys. This phenomenon is never seen before in Octalian culture, which is why they call it "Orgaluth's Law".
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: She appears in the Season 2 finale, which also serves as the final episode of the show.
* LongLostRelative: It was actually believed that her bubble of negative probability ions ''consumed her'' and has grown into an entity of its own.
* WalkingDisasterArea: Like Milo, Orgaluth has genes that attract negative probability ions, which would normally give her [[MurphysLaw a similar condition to his]]. However, as Octalians aren't naturally surrounded by probability ions at all, Orgaluth gets surrounded by ''all'' the negative ones, causing Orgaluth's Law to be much more severe than Murphy's Law ever could.
* WalkingSpoiler: Pretty much everything about her is revealed as late as "Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space", the finale of Season 2.

[[folder:C.I.D.D.]]
Short for Cybernetic Individual Domestic Droid, C.I.D.D. is a collaborative creation of Clyde Rickenbacker and Victor Verliezer. Despite Verliezer taking all the credit, C.I.D.D. has desperately looked for "zero-zero", before being reunited with his true creator, Clyde.
----
* AffectionateNickname: C.I.D.D. addresses Clyde Rickenbacker as "[[SpeaksInBinary 0-0]]" [[note]]Zero-Zero[[/note]] because he is his creator.
* CuteMachines: He sure is a cutie pie, alright.
* DarkHumor: C.I.D.D. made a quick joke about [[RobotWar robots]] [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over the world]] just to get a quick laugh out of seeing Milo, Zack, and Melissa's faces.
* DoubleMeaning: "Zero-zero" seems a bit nonsensical on the surface, but Milo figures out C.I.D.D.'s goal when applying Math Speak to it: on a graph, "(0,0)" refers to the origin, a.k.a. the starting point on the graph. When C.I.D.D. says he's looking for "zero-zero", he means he's looking for his origin, or in this case, his creator, Clyde Rickenbacker.
* FunWithAcronyms: "C.I.D.D." stands for "Cybernetic Individual Domestic Droid".
* JustAMachine: C.I.D.D. actually has the ability to feel both love and pain. He recognizes Clyde Rickenbacker as his creator and rightful owner and felt hurt when Victor physically abused him.
* RobotBuddy: To Clyde.

A creation made with Doofenshmirtz's Clone-Inator, from Cavendish's DNA. Being Cavendish's head on a platypus body, Cavenpuss is often referred to as an abomination.
->Voiced by: Jeff "Swampy" Marsh
----
* AbortedArc: In "Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space", there was originally going to be a scene where Cavenpus' egg hatched into a baby version of himself, but this was cut from the final product, due to time constraints.
* TheComicallySerious: It's hard for a distinguished gentleman, such as Cavendish, to be taken seriously when he's attached to the teeny-tiny body of a platypus.
* HalfHumanHybrid: A combination between a human and a platypus.
* MisterSeahorse: Despite being male, he still laid an egg.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: The team completely left him out of their adventure in "Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space".
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Despite "Cavenpus" with one "S" being semantically correct, due to the root words being combined, he is listed as "Cavenpuss" with two "S"s in the credits.

The Pistachions are a species of mutated pistachio trees bent on world domination. They are the first ArcVillain and the primary antagonists in [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS1E23MissingMilo Missing Milo]], [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS1E34FungusAmongUs Fungus Among Us]] and the crossover with ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', entitled [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS2E1ThePhineasAndFerbEffect The Phineas and Ferb Effect]].
----
* PlantPerson: They're anthropomorphic pistachio trees.
* RetGone: With the sole exception of Derek, the entire first generation of Pistachions were erased from existence when their father was killed before evolving.
* TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: Their king is also their dad.
* WeaksauceWeakness: They can be killed by uric acid (which is found in urine). Diogee has defeated King Pistachion this way, by peeing on his infantile form.
** Another weakness was discovered in The Phineas and Ferb Effect: [[spoiler:Wyatt Burp orange soda. The brand was discontinued when it was discovered that the soda was harmful to the environment, and since the Pistachions are PlantPeople…]]

An evil mutant pistachio tree from the future, created when Balthazar and Vinnie managed to save a pistachio tree that unbeknownst to them, had been fertilized with a mutant blob created from pistachio tree fertilizer.
->Voiced by: Rhys Darby
----
* AffablyEvil: He's introduced taking a commemorative family photo with his children after they've finished ransacking the future and capturing all of the Time Bureau agents.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: His minions are dispatched pretty quickly once Milo gets his backpack back, but King Pistachion himself is a much tougher foe, only defeated when his defenseless past self is destroyed.
* BadFuture: After growing to his full size he takes over the world in Balthazar and Vinnie's original time period.
* BigBad: The main antagonist in "Missing Milo".
* ADogNamedDog: King Pistachion is named exactly like his species.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: All of his minions are actually his own children. He shows off his family album which contains memories such as one of his children eating a congressman, a city being ransacked, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking one of his children's birthday parties.]]
* ImplacableMan: After he notices Milo and the surviving time travelers he pursues them nonstop, chasing them across the city, and even through time without letting up. He's completely unfazed after getting hit by a car, and even after Milo finally manages to harm him by siccing woodpeckers on him he ''still'' doesn't slow down. It takes destroying his younger defenseless self in the present to finally get rid of him.
* LargeAndInCharge: Much larger than any of his minions. Justified, considering that they are his children.
* LaughablyEvil: He's a legitimate threat, but also has humorous mannerisms that provide much comic relief.
* PredecessorVillain: Despite his defeat, he still casts a large shadow over the episode Fungus Among Us and the upcoming crossover as his son Derek picks up where he left off.
* RetGone: With his younger self destroyed, he and his children never existed… well, except for one…

[[folder:Derek]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/derekpnfeprofile.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:"Plants forever!"]]
A Pistachion that got stuck in the timestream after Dakota, Cavendish and Milo shook him off. Because of this, he still exists even after King Pistachion and his children are defeated, and ends up in 1955, where he plans another takeover by replacing humans with Pistachions. His ultimate plan is to turn all humans into Pistachions after enough have been captured.
->Voiced by: Creator/JeffBennett
----
* BadBadActing: Part of Derek's plan involved replacing Orton and using the money the Dr. Zone empire to take over the world. However while Orton was by no means a good actor himself, he was a good enough writer to gain a cult following. While Derek was 'neither' a writer or an actor. So the show ended up being so bad it was canceled after only two episodes, causing the mega-hit Dr. Zone franchise to be RetGone from the present, and delaying Derek's plan by decades.
* EvilGloating: When he outnumbers Milo, Dakota, Cavendish and Orton, Derek monologues about his evil plan, which is apparently long enough for the gang to escape. When he berates his fellow Pistachions why they didn't warn him earlier, it's because they didn't want to interrupt him.
* CaptureAndReplicate: Derek's plan (or at least Stage One of said plan) is to replace the humans with Pistachions and lock them up, until they outnumber the humans. Planning this took him about ten years, and he appears [[BadFuture to be rapidly succeeding fifty years after that]]. He himself had replaced an intern, as well as Orton Mahlson shortly before the filming of the Dr. Zone pilot episode.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Wearing the Orton mask for fifty years has caused his head to permanently take on its shape.
* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:In "The Phineas and Ferb Effect", he manages to fully convert Milo, Phineas and Ferb's friends and family into [[FaceHeelTurn evil Pistachions]], and have them cornered, alongside Dakota, Cavendish, Orton and Doofenshmirtz. If it weren't for future Doofenshmirtz, aka Professor Time, Derek would've won.]]
* ParadoxPerson: Derek has become one thanks to being stuck in the timestream, otherwise he would have ceased to exist along with his father and siblings.
* VillainousLegacy: He's flung through time and survives King Pistachion's defeat, then he launches his own plot to overthrow the human race. Cavendish and Dakota are well aware of the danger he poses and attempts to prevent his return.

* FailedAttemptAtDrama: Failed to make a [[TheReveal dramatic entry]], when returning in "A Clockwork Origin".
* {{Flanderization}}: In his first appearance, he was merely a CorruptCorporateExecutive. He descends into full-blown villainy in his second appearance, planning to rebuild Danville's historic clock tower into a HumongousMecha that will destroy the town if he isn't paid to stop it.
* JerkAss: To the point that even ''[[NiceGuy Milo]]'' doesn't like him.

* AttackAnimal: He was programmed to be an unstoppable government weapon and [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters went rogue]].
* {{Cyborg}}: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin He's half robot and half bear]].
* EscapedFromTheLab: The Government trapped him in a cage, which they put out in the woods, but he was able to break right through the bars and escape without them even knowing.
* EverythingsWorseWithBears: Or at least it would be if this guy could [[HarmlessVillain land even a single punch on his primary victim]].
* HarmlessVillain: Despite being a deadly cybernetic grizzly bear out for Milo's blood, due to Murphy's Law he can't even lay a paw on Milo. Milo never even noticed he existed.
* MisplacedRetribution: Despite the Government being the ones who ruined life, he's dead set on destroying Milo for one embarrassing incident that he caused a while back.
* MoodDissonance: We learn how he was inhumanely tested on and turned into a cyborg killer to the tune of a happy-go-lucky pop song.
* {{Revenge}}: The Cyborg Grizzly wants this on Milo, for indirectly embarrassing him in "Now I Am a Murphy".
* TragicVillain: As explained in "The Mid Afternoon Snack Club", The Cyborg Grizzly started off as a happy, innocent young cub, before being tranquilized, kidnapped, and surgically modified. The Cyborg Grizzly wishes he could have just lived the life of a [[IJustWantToBeNormal normal grizzly bear]], but thanks to The Government, now he's cursed with a partially robotic body. The pent up rage pushes him to villainy.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: And can you blame him? After the way the Government treated him all throughout his life, one would begin to question who the real villain is.
* UnknownRival: In his second appearance he's after Milo for what happened to him the first time. Even after this, Milo has no idea he exists.
* UnwittingTestSubject: He never wanted to be tested on. He was tranquilized and forced into that life.

* {{Expy}}: To some extent, he is the (male and adult) version of Candace Flynn in this series.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Elliot can never get some kind of promotion nor earn the school's respect.
* FreudianExcuse: When he was a kid he visited a circus and was given a bag of marshmallows as a treat by his parents. He ignored their warning to be safe and dropped his bag of marshmallows, which set off a catastrophic chain of events that collapsed the circus tent on top of him.

He also chose to hide a malfunctioning water fountain from Principal Milder, rather than immediately try to fix it (which would have made him look more suitable for the job). But what really marks him as this is when he haphazardly covers up the hole in a classroom ceiling (which he made falling out of the air vent) with a [[PosterPatchUp poster]], and declares it "safe enough".

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Despite his self-proclaimed safety expertise, his 'precautions' tend to be either pointless or downright dangerous, such as taping the fire-extinguisher cabinet shut in order to pad the corners.

However, as Octalians aren't naturally surrounded by probability ions at all, Orgaluth gets surrounded by ''all'' the negative ones, causing Orgaluth's Law to be much more severe than Murphy's Law ever could.
* WalkingSpoiler: Pretty much everything about her is revealed as late as "Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space", the finale of Season 2.

Beloved mascot of Lard World, Milo's favorite amusement park.

* BadJobWorseUniform: You gotta imagine that whoever's wearing that stupid costume, must be pretty miserable with themselves.
* BigFun: Lardee Boy is supposed to characterize someone like this.
* GagNose: His upturned nose shows off his pig-like nostrils, giving off the impression that someone like this really "[[LiteralMetaphor pigs out]]" on the lardy food at Lard World.
* HatOfFlight: Wears a classic propeller hat but it's never used for flying.
* IndyEscape: Lardee Boy played the role of the boulder in "Backward to School Night".

[[folder:C.I.D.D.]]
Short for Cybernetic Individual Domestic Droid, C.I.D.D. is a collaborative creation of Clyde Rickenbacker and Victor Verliezer. Despite Verliezer taking all the credit, C.I.D.D. has desperately looked for "zero-zero", before being reunited with his true creator, Clyde.
----
* AffectionateNickname: C.I.D.D. addresses Clyde Rickenbacker as "[[SpeaksInBinary 0-0]]" [[note]]Zero-Zero[[/note]] because he is his creator.
* CuteMachines: He sure is a cutie pie, alright.
* DarkHumor: C.I.D.D. made a quick joke about [[RobotWar robots]] [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over the world]] just to get a quick laugh out of seeing Milo, Zack, and Melissa's faces.
* DoubleMeaning: "Zero-zero" seems a bit nonsensical on the surface, but Milo figures out C.I.D.D.'s goal when applying Math Speak to it: on a graph, "(0,0)" refers to the origin, a.k.a. the starting point on the graph. When C.I.D.D. says he's looking for "zero-zero", he means he's looking for his origin, or in this case, his creator, Clyde Rickenbacker.
* FunWithAcronyms: "C.I.D.D." stands for "Cybernetic Individual Domestic Droid".
* JustAMachine: C.I.D.D. actually has the ability to feel both love and pain. He recognizes Clyde Rickenbacker as his creator and rightful owner and felt hurt when Victor physically abused him.
* RobotBuddy: To Clyde.

A creation made with Doofenshmirtz's Clone-Inator, from Cavendish's DNA. Being Cavendish's head on a platypus body, Cavenpuss is often referred to as an abomination.
->Voiced by: Jeff "Swampy" Marsh
----
* AbortedArc: In "Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space", there was originally going to be a scene where Cavenpus' egg hatched into a baby version of himself, but this was cut from the final product, due to time constraints.
* TheComicallySerious: It's hard for a distinguished gentleman, such as Cavendish, to be taken seriously when he's attached to the teeny-tiny body of a platypus.
* HalfHumanHybrid: A combination between a human and a platypus.
* MisterSeahorse: Despite being male, he still laid an egg.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: The team completely left him out of their adventure in "Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space".
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Despite "Cavenpus" with one "S" being semantically correct, due to the root words being combined, he is listed as "Cavenpuss" with two "S"s in the credits.

The Pistachions are a species of mutated pistachio trees bent on world domination. They are the first ArcVillain and the primary antagonists in [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS1E23MissingMilo Missing Milo]], [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS1E34FungusAmongUs Fungus Among Us]] and the crossover with ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', entitled [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS2E1ThePhineasAndFerbEffect The Phineas and Ferb Effect]].
----
* PlantPerson: They're anthropomorphic pistachio trees.
* RetGone: With the sole exception of Derek, the entire first generation of Pistachions were erased from existence when their father was killed before evolving.
* TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: Their king is also their dad.
* WeaksauceWeakness: They can be killed by uric acid (which is found in urine). Diogee has defeated King Pistachion this way, by peeing on his infantile form.
** Another weakness was discovered in The Phineas and Ferb Effect: [[spoiler:Wyatt Burp orange soda. The brand was discontinued when it was discovered that the soda was harmful to the environment, and since the Pistachions are PlantPeople…]]

An evil mutant pistachio tree from the future, created when Balthazar and Vinnie managed to save a pistachio tree that unbeknownst to them, had been fertilized with a mutant blob created from pistachio tree fertilizer.
->Voiced by: Rhys Darby
----
* AffablyEvil: He's introduced taking a commemorative family photo with his children after they've finished ransacking the future and capturing all of the Time Bureau agents.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: His minions are dispatched pretty quickly once Milo gets his backpack back, but King Pistachion himself is a much tougher foe, only defeated when his defenseless past self is destroyed.
* BadFuture: After growing to his full size he takes over the world in Balthazar and Vinnie's original time period.
* BigBad: The main antagonist in "Missing Milo".
* ADogNamedDog: King Pistachion is named exactly like his species.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: All of his minions are actually his own children. He shows off his family album which contains memories such as one of his children eating a congressman, a city being ransacked, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking one of his children's birthday parties.]]
* ImplacableMan: After he notices Milo and the surviving time travelers he pursues them nonstop, chasing them across the city, and even through time without letting up. He's completely unfazed after getting hit by a car, and even after Milo finally manages to harm him by siccing woodpeckers on him he ''still'' doesn't slow down. It takes destroying his younger defenseless self in the present to finally get rid of him.
* LargeAndInCharge: Much larger than any of his minions. Justified, considering that they are his children.
* LaughablyEvil: He's a legitimate threat, but also has humorous mannerisms that provide much comic relief.
* PredecessorVillain: Despite his defeat, he still casts a large shadow over the episode Fungus Among Us and the upcoming crossover as his son Derek picks up where he left off.
* RetGone: With his younger self destroyed, he and his children never existed… well, except for one…

[[folder:Derek]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/derekpnfeprofile.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:"Plants forever!"]]
A Pistachion that got stuck in the timestream after Dakota, Cavendish and Milo shook him off. Because of this, he still exists even after King Pistachion and his children are defeated, and ends up in 1955, where he plans another takeover by replacing humans with Pistachions. His ultimate plan is to turn all humans into Pistachions after enough have been captured.
->Voiced by: Creator/JeffBennett
----
* BadBadActing: Part of Derek's plan involved replacing Orton and using the money the Dr. Zone empire to take over the world. However while Orton was by no means a good actor himself, he was a good enough writer to gain a cult following. While Derek was 'neither' a writer or an actor. So the show ended up being so bad it was canceled after only two episodes, causing the mega-hit Dr. Zone franchise to be RetGone from the present, and delaying Derek's plan by decades.
* EvilGloating: When he outnumbers Milo, Dakota, Cavendish and Orton, Derek monologues about his evil plan, which is apparently long enough for the gang to escape. When he berates his fellow Pistachions why they didn't warn him earlier, it's because they didn't want to interrupt him.
* CaptureAndReplicate: Derek's plan (or at least Stage One of said plan) is to replace the humans with Pistachions and lock them up, until they outnumber the humans. Planning this took him about ten years, and he appears [[BadFuture to be rapidly succeeding fifty years after that]]. He himself had replaced an intern, as well as Orton Mahlson shortly before the filming of the Dr. Zone pilot episode.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Wearing the Orton mask for fifty years has caused his head to permanently take on its shape.
* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:In "The Phineas and Ferb Effect", he manages to fully convert Milo, Phineas and Ferb's friends and family into [[FaceHeelTurn evil Pistachions]], and have them cornered, alongside Dakota, Cavendish, Orton and Doofenshmirtz. If it weren't for future Doofenshmirtz, aka Professor Time, Derek would've won.]]
* ParadoxPerson: Derek has become one thanks to being stuck in the timestream, otherwise he would have ceased to exist along with his father and siblings.
* VillainousLegacy: He's flung through time and survives King Pistachion's defeat, then he launches his own plot to overthrow the human race. Cavendish and Dakota are well aware of the danger he poses and attempts to prevent his return.

----
* AlliterativeName: '''V'''ictor '''V'''erliezer.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The evil corporate executive of vTech, who steals other people's inventions and takes credit for making them.
* EvilAllAlong: He seems to be a pretty nice guy at first, before Milo sees how he treats C.I.D.D. backstage.
* FailedAttemptAtDrama: Failed to make a [[TheReveal dramatic entry]], when returning in "A Clockwork Origin".
* {{Flanderization}}: In his first appearance, he was merely a CorruptCorporateExecutive. He descends into full-blown villainy in his second appearance, planning to rebuild Danville's historic clock tower into a HumongousMecha that will destroy the town if he isn't paid to stop it.
* JerkAss: To the point that even ''[[NiceGuy Milo]]'' doesn't like him.

* StealingTheCredit: Victor takes credit for inventing C.I.D.D., when it was really Clyde Rickenbacker's idea.

[[folder:Cyborg Grizzly]]
A grizzly bear captured by the government and made into a killer cyborg [[DidntThinkThisThrough programmed to annihilate mankind]].
----
* AttackAnimal: He was programmed to be an unstoppable government weapon and [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters went rogue]].
* {{Cyborg}}: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin He's half robot and half bear]].
* EscapedFromTheLab: The Government trapped him in a cage, which they put out in the woods, but he was able to break right through the bars and escape without them even knowing.
* EverythingsWorseWithBears: Or at least it would be if this guy could [[HarmlessVillain land even a single punch on his primary victim]].
* HarmlessVillain: Despite being a deadly cybernetic grizzly bear out for Milo's blood, due to Murphy's Law he can't even lay a paw on Milo. Milo never even noticed he existed.
* MisplacedRetribution: Despite the Government being the ones who ruined life, he's dead set on destroying Milo for one embarrassing incident that he caused a while back.
* MoodDissonance: We learn how he was inhumanely tested on and turned into a cyborg killer to the tune of a happy-go-lucky pop song.
* {{Revenge}}: The Cyborg Grizzly wants this on Milo, for indirectly embarrassing him in "Now I Am a Murphy".
* TragicVillain: As explained in "The Mid Afternoon Snack Club", The Cyborg Grizzly started off as a happy, innocent young cub, before being tranquilized, kidnapped, and surgically modified. The Cyborg Grizzly wishes he could have just lived the life of a [[IJustWantToBeNormal normal grizzly bear]], but thanks to The Government, now he's cursed with a partially robotic body. The pent up rage pushes him to villainy.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: And can you blame him? After the way the Government treated him all throughout his life, one would begin to question who the real villain is.
* UnknownRival: In his second appearance he's after Milo for what happened to him the first time. Even after this, Milo has no idea he exists.
* UnwittingTestSubject: He never wanted to be tested on. He was tranquilized and forced into that life.

Changed line(s) 29,115 (click to see context) from:
* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Milo's thirteen years old and things tend to go badly when he's around.
* AbsurdPhobia: Chinese finger traps. They're the only thing that's made Milo go into a full-blown panic, leaping into a river of lard and flailing about hysterically the way Zack does around fish. Thankfully, he knows how they work now.
* AcquaintedWithEmergencyServices:
** The firefighters and police know him to the point that he keeps a framed photograph of them in his room.
** In "Rooting for the Enemy", it's revealed that his family, mainly Milo and his father, Martin, have their own hospital suite called the "Murphy Suite".
** In "The Note", the government is fully aware of the Murphy's luck that they dubbed their neighborhood as "The Murphy Sector".
** In "Worked Day", when Milo's class is having a career day, they meet Melissa's father, who's a firefighter, whose squad just put out a fire at a fish hatchery:
--->'''Mr. Chase''': Milo, you weren't here at the fish hatchery this morning, were you?\\
'''Melissa''': Dad!\\
'''Mr. Chase''': Ha! I kid!... But seriously, you weren't here, right?\\
'''Milo''': ''(cheerfully)'' Why Mr. Chase, I'm flattered! ''(suddenly deadpan, visibly irritated)'' [[NotMeThisTime But no.]]
* ActionSurvivor: He has to be to survive his life.
* ActorAllusion: Much like Weird Al, Milo plays the accordion.
* AlliterativeName: '''M'''ilo '''M'''urphy.
* AllLovingHero: Milo doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He's friendly and pleasant with everybody, even the likes of Bradley, Elliot and the Pistachions.
* AllThereInTheManual: Milo's "condition" is called Extreme Hereditary Murphy's Law condition, or EHML, in press materials. By the admission of the creators, this was invented in the early conceptual stages and never really referenced in the show.
* AmusingInjuries: Breaks his thumb in "Rooting For the Enemy", and ends up wearing a comically oversized cast over it.
* AngstWhatAngst: InUniverse example, as mentioned below, Milo is hardly fazed for his bad luck and often sees the positive side no matter what.
* BagOfHolding: His backpack carries everything he could ''possibly'' need, including (but not limited to) a seatbelt, a concertina, car parts, posters, maps, GPS systems, helmets, flashlights, granola bars, and a ship-sized anchor. It also handily accommodates anything he might happen to pick up, such as a live duck.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: He played a part in the lost pilot of Doctor Zone.
* BigManOnCampus: While most steer clear of him, the tales of his various misadventures [[note]]and occasional chances to watch them from a safe distance[[/note]] makes him popular at school.
* BornUnlucky: Having been born with Extreme Hereditary Murphy’s Law condition (EHML).
* ABoyAndHisX: A boy and his dog. He seems to have this kind of relationship with Diogee when he's not telling Diogee to go home. Milo houses, feeds, and plays with Diogee and Diogee returns the favor, by saving Milo's life, when he's in a fix.
* BrainyBrunette: Milo is fairly knowledgeable about common and obscure trivia (i.e. fire trucks) and is a quick thinker who knows how to use a variety of scientific tidbits to get out of his many sticky situations. That said, Melissa still has better grades than him (though his constant accidents and class absences don't help much).
* CasualDangerDialogue: Does this quite often.
* CloudCuckoolander: Like any character played by Weird Al could avoid this one entirely.
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: He's learned to make the best of being at the constant epicenter of disaster. For reference, dodging flaming dumpsters, falling trash cans, streams of ball bearings, and waves of Slinkies while riding his bike is a "light day" for him. He almost seems put out when it doesn't seem to happen.
* CoolLoser: {{Inverted|Trope}} as explained above; he's got a few stereotypical nerd traits, and his horrible luck should by all accounts make him a pariah - and indeed he receives Thank You cards from the football team for ''not'' attending their games [[spoiler: until he weaponizes his bad luck against a rival team]] - but while pretty much everyone tries to keep a safe distance away from him, his skill at overcoming bad situations and his friendly and outgoing demeanor make him pretty well-liked among his town, with the local construction crew being friendly and familiar enough to notice a new scar, and part of Bradley's animosity stemming from jealousy over Milo's misadventures being able to draw crowds and admiration with ease.
* CosmicPlaything: He's aware of it and, unlike other examples of this trope, completely okay with it.
* CoveredWithScars: [[InformedDeformity Apparently.]]
* CrazyPrepared: Because he's aware of his terrible luck, he keeps his backpack stocked with supplies to help him out of any bind. He even keeps a full-body hazmat suit hanging up in his room at home.
* CursedWithAwesome: He sees it this way; Murphy's Law inconveniences him, but it keeps his life exciting and sometimes even works out in his favor.
* DeadpanSnarker: Milo's reactions to the various disasters that happen to him can be rather wry at times.
--> '''Zack:''' So do you even know where we are?
--> '''Milo:''' Oh yeah. The fire dried out my phone. We are now in the middle of Coyote Woods!
* DissonantSerenity: Not consistently (he can react as strongly as Zack and Melissa can to random disasters like the loss of his doctor's note and you can bet his friends being in trouble [[BigBrotherInstinct is met with a quick rescue]]), but this seems to be his autopilot in the face of truly life-threatening danger.
--> '''Zack:''' Why aren't ''you'' screaming?!?!\\
'''Milo:''' I find it doesn't help. Just hurts the larynx.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Has a not-so-hidden crush on Amanda in "Smooth Opera-tor", who is somewhat unnerved by the chaos that follows him everywhere he goes. But she begins to reciprocate the feeling after he goes out of his way to salvage the dance she worked so hard to plan in "School Dance", subverting this trope.
* DoomMagnet: The whole deal with him.
* DorkInASweater: "Look at my sweater vest, I look so fly".
* EncyclopaedicKnowledge: He regularly recites trivia about a wide variety of subjects.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first episode, "Going the Extra Milo", features him talking to Zack, who is unfamiliar with his reputation. After a concrete drainage pipe starts rolling toward him and Zack, he treats the situation about as casually as one would a leisurely stroll, including [[CasualDangerDialogue saying that screaming doesn't do much except hurt the larynx]].
* EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes: The one person Milo is not friendly and pleasant toward is Victor Verliezer. In Verliezer's second appearance, Milo shows clear distaste and hostility towards the CorruptCorporateExecutive.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite being accustomed to the daily disasters his life brings, Milo never intentionally goes looking for trouble. In "Wilder West", he is unnerved by Jackie's reckless, thrill-seeking ways.
-->'''Milo:''' You can't keep danger away, but why seek it out?
* FamousAncestor: He is the 4th-great-grandson of Edward A. Murphy Jr., namesake of the original Main/MurphysLaw.
* {{Foil}}: To [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Phineas Flynn]]. They're both lovable, optimistic, cheerful kids who thrive on action and adventure and "The Phineas and Ferb Effect" really establishes this dynamic
* FriendlessBackground: There's no indication that he had any friends prior to Melissa.
* GlassSlipper: Milo's missing loafer in "School Dance" is what gets Amanda to realize that Milo saved the party she planned (after his bad luck wrecked it).
%%* GuileHero:
* HereditaryCurse: Because he's the descendant of Edward A. Murphy Jr., he and his father go through a lot of bad luck in their lives.
* HereditaryHairstyle: With the exception of his cousin Nate, all the Murphy men we've seen so far have the same hairstyle.
* IdiotHair: His tiny little pomp looks surprisingly like an Ahoge.
* InHarmsWay: Although he doesn't have much choice in the matter, he prefers the excitement his own life hands him to the routines his classmates are trapped in.
* TheJinx: Milo is a classic example since whatever weird fate awaits him is liable to hit whoever's nearby, though [[NotUsingTheZWord he doesn't like to use the J-word]];
* {{Keet}}: He maintains a calm, cheerful, optimistic, unshakeable and resourceful personality that perseveres whenever things start to go wrong.
* KidHero: Milo is thirteen years old and is the main character.
* TheKlutz: His luck also tends to make him clumsy as well.
* LethalChef: Played with. His attempts at making macaroni and cheese from a box turn out mostly successful... until he decides to add some yeast for the pizzazz factor, upon which his bad luck kicks in and causes the yeast to expand rapidly until the macaroni and cheese explodes, splattering everything around him. It helps that he went to a cooking class prior to this event, but even then the stoves all broke down in time.
* LimitedWardrobe: He loves his sweatervests and is only rarely seen wearing anything else unless it's for school purposes (i.e. gym class).
* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: Owns a CD called "Sounds of Disaster" which mimics the crashes, screams and other cacophonies that tend to be heard in his wake.
* MadeOfIron: Averted. Milo has scars from his misadventures, to the point where casual acquaintances can discern when he has a new one, and has a suite at the hospital reserved for him (and presumably [[LikeFatherLikeSon his father]]). Milo may survive the chaos in his life, but he doesn't exactly come out of it physically unscathed. His injuries rarely carry on between episodes though.
* MadLibsCatchphrase: "Like my dad always says, [ridiculous statement]."
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: A lot.
--> "But you know what they say: 'sticks and stones can damage your vital organs, so always wear body armor.'"\\
"Well, you know what they say: 'whatever breaks our egg only helps our egg-dropping contraption utilize the forces of gravity, inertia and weight distribution better.'"
* MetaphorIsMyMiddleName: Combined with HisNameReallyIsBarkeep; Danger really is his middle name (though it's pronounced Dawn-Zhay), derived from his grandma's maiden name apparently.
* TheMillstone: His bad luck tends to be the source of all the conflict in each episode. It's to the point where, in ''Sunny Side Up'', he helps keep their project intact by not helping.
** On the other hand, in full-blown crisis situations such as the Pistachion takeover, his skill at dealing with chaos makes him useful enough to be worth the handicap, particularly since Murphy's Law is as likely to affect opponents in his radius as anyone else. [[spoiler: In "The Phineas and Ferb Effect" Candace discovers this for herself after trying to convince him to keep a safe distance from her brothers' pistachio-fighting operation, and he becomes the mission's key weapon after the kids figure out that Murphy's Law can be strategically aimed.]]
* MurphysLaw: It applies to him. Obviously.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Milo is a thirteen year old kid (as of his birthday) who has a trim physique, yet he routinely wears body armor that had the school principal knocked over and asking for help along with ''an entire ship's anchor'', which can easily weigh anywhere between [[http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/technical/anchorguide.htm fifteen and a hundred pounds]] in his backpack. He carries both so frequently that his mother immediately questions why the anchor isn't in his backpack at the end of "Worked Day".
-->'''Opera Actor:''' ''[After Milo replaced an actor, Operactically]'' You're shorter than I remember.\\
'''Milo:''' ''[Operactically]'' This is the physique that I was cursed with.
* NiceGuy: Despite the constant chaos in his life, Milo is always optimistic, friendly, and polite.
* OppositesAttract: At first, a one-sided version: Milo, who creates chaos everywhere he goes, has a crush on Amanda, who is an obsessive perfectionist. In time, the feeling is reciprocal.
* ThePollyanna: Despite the chaos that unfolds around him, he has so far been shown smiling through it and looking on the bright side of it all.
* SeenItAll: Because of everything that happens around him, he's hardly fazed by any oncoming disasters. Although normally optimistic, as a result, his overall expressions to danger tend to be that of disgruntlement and bemusement.
* ShipTease: He gets a bit flustered around Amanda when trying to make sure nothing bad happens to her, and she reciprocates when he manages to do great good.
* SpannerInTheWorks: In "Missing Milo", he runs up a tree and puts his backpack on it as it falls. When King Pistachion is attacking the school, Milo picks up a baseball and throws it, and after giving [[NoodleImplements a piano winch and cable snares to Zack, an extra-large straight jacket to Sara, wind chimes and a self-inflating air raft to Melissa]], he summons a woodpecker whistle, and the woodpeckers start to peck away at King Pistachion, followed by Diogee taking a tinkle on Pistachion, and the uric acid stops the mutant pistachio plants.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Gets ''all'' of his physical looks from his father.
* ThreeAmigos: With Zack and Melissa.
* TwoFirstNames: Either "Milo" or "Murphy" can be used as a first name.
* UnluckilyLucky: A textbook example. If there's anything more unlikely than the messes he gets himself into, it's the fact that he manages to get ''out'' of them. If there's a one in a trillion chance of something going wrong around him, it will, but the string of disasters that he's followed by rarely does any worse than inconvenience him, even when it's something like being chased by wolves or falling off a cliff. Sometimes they even end up working out in his favor. For instance, on the day of his surprise birthday party, Diogee ended up eating or otherwise messing around in Milo's birthday cake. Cue various trucks filled with cake and ice cream careening off the road along with a shipment of fireworks falling out of the sky and crashing simultaneously in mid-air, raining cake and ice cream on Milo and his friends while treating them to a brilliant display of fireworks.
* VocalDissonance: It's a bit of an aberration to hear a young 13-year-old boy speaking with the voice of "Weird Al" Yankovic.
* WalkingDisasterArea: His condition means that his mere presence causes things to go haywire around him. To hammer this home, in "Sunny Side Up", he wakes up to a perfectly normal and undamaged room... and immediately assumes it's a dream before waking up for real and finding that a tree plowed through his window.
* WeirdnessMagnet: Milo's bad luck can attract some ''really'' strange things, like time-agents or space aliens.
* AbsurdPhobia: Chinese finger traps. They're the only thing that's made Milo go into a full-blown panic, leaping into a river of lard and flailing about hysterically the way Zack does around fish. Thankfully, he knows how they work now.
* AcquaintedWithEmergencyServices:
** The firefighters and police know him to the point that he keeps a framed photograph of them in his room.

* BornUnlucky: Having been born with Extreme Hereditary Murphy’s Law condition (EHML).
* ABoyAndHisX: A boy
* BrainyBrunette: Milo is fairly knowledgeable about common and obscure trivia (i.e. fire trucks) and is a quick thinker who knows how to use a variety of scientific tidbits to get out of his many sticky situations. That said, Melissa still has better grades
* CasualDangerDialogue: Does this quite often.
* CloudCuckoolander: Like any character played by Weird Al could avoid this one entirely.
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: He's learned to make the best of being at the constant epicenter of disaster. For reference, dodging flaming dumpsters, falling trash cans, streams of ball bearings, and waves of Slinkies while riding his bike is a "light day" for him. He almost seems put out when it doesn't seem to happen.
* CoolLoser: {{Inverted|Trope}} as explained above; he's got a few stereotypical nerd traits, and his horrible luck should by all accounts make him a pariah - and indeed he receives Thank You cards from the football team for ''not'' attending their games [[spoiler: until he weaponizes his bad luck against a rival team]] - but while pretty much everyone tries to keep a safe distance away from him, his skill at overcoming bad situations and his friendly and outgoing demeanor make him pretty well-liked among his town, with the local construction crew being friendly and familiar enough to notice a new scar, and part of Bradley's animosity stemming from jealousy over Milo's misadventures being able to draw crowds and admiration with ease.
* CosmicPlaything: He's aware of it and, unlike other examples of this trope, completely okay with it.
* CoveredWithScars: [[InformedDeformity Apparently.]]
* CrazyPrepared: Because he's aware of his terrible luck, he keeps his backpack stocked with supplies to help him out of any bind. He even keeps a full-body hazmat suit hanging up in his room at home.
* CursedWithAwesome: He sees it this way; Murphy's Law inconveniences him, but it keeps his life exciting and sometimes even works out in his favor.
* DeadpanSnarker: Milo's reactions to the various disasters that happen to him can be rather wry at times.
--> '''Zack:''' So do you even know where we are?
--> '''Milo:''' Oh yeah. The fire dried out my phone. We are now in the middle of Coyote Woods!
* DissonantSerenity: Not consistently (he can react as strongly as Zack and Melissa can to random disasters like the loss of his doctor's note and you can bet his friends being in trouble [[BigBrotherInstinct is met with a quick rescue]]), but this seems to be his autopilot in the face of truly life-threatening danger.
--> '''Zack:''' Why aren't ''you'' screaming?!?!\\
'''Milo:''' I find it doesn't help. Just hurts the larynx.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Has a not-so-hidden crush on Amanda in
* DoomMagnet: The whole deal with him.
* DorkInASweater: "Look at my sweater vest, I look so fly".
* EncyclopaedicKnowledge: He regularly recites trivia about a wide variety of subjects.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first episode, "Going the Extra Milo", features him talking to Zack, who is unfamiliar with his reputation. After a concrete drainage pipe starts rolling toward him and Zack, he treats the situation about as casually as one would a leisurely stroll, including [[CasualDangerDialogue saying that screaming doesn't do much except hurt the larynx]].
* EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes: The one person Milo is not friendly and pleasant toward is Victor Verliezer. In Verliezer's second appearance, Milo
* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite being accustomed
-->'''Milo:''' You can't keep danger away, but why seek it out?
* FamousAncestor: He is the 4th-great-grandson of Edward A. Murphy Jr., namesake of the original Main/MurphysLaw.
* {{Foil}}: To [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Phineas Flynn]]. They're both lovable, optimistic, cheerful kids who thrive on action and adventure and "The Phineas and Ferb Effect" really establishes this dynamic
* FriendlessBackground: There's no indication
* GlassSlipper: Milo's missing loafer in "School Dance" is what gets Amanda to realize that Milo saved the party
%%* GuileHero:
* HereditaryCurse: Because he's the descendant of Edward A. Murphy Jr., he
* HereditaryHairstyle: With the exception of his cousin Nate, all the Murphy men we've seen so far have the same hairstyle.
*
* InHarmsWay: Although he doesn't have much choice in the matter, he prefers the excitement his own life hands him to the routines his classmates are trapped in.
* TheJinx: Milo is a classic example since whatever weird fate awaits him is liable to hit whoever's nearby, though [[NotUsingTheZWord he doesn't like to use the J-word]];
* {{Keet}}: He maintains a calm, cheerful, optimistic, unshakeable and resourceful personality that perseveres whenever things start to go wrong.
* KidHero: Milo is thirteen years old and is the main character.
* TheKlutz: His luck also tends to make him clumsy as well.
* LethalChef: Played with. His attempts at making macaroni and cheese from a box turn out mostly successful... until he decides to add some yeast for the pizzazz factor, upon which his bad luck kicks in and causes the yeast to expand rapidly until the macaroni and cheese explodes, splattering everything around him. It helps that he went to a cooking class prior to this event, but even then the stoves all broke down in time.
* LimitedWardrobe: He loves his sweatervests and is only rarely seen wearing anything else unless it's for school purposes (i.e. gym class).
* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: Owns a CD called "Sounds of Disaster" which mimics the crashes, screams and other cacophonies that tend to be heard in his wake.
* MadeOfIron: Averted. Milo has scars from his misadventures, to the point where casual acquaintances can discern when he has a new one, and has a suite at the hospital reserved for him (and presumably [[LikeFatherLikeSon his father]]). Milo may survive the chaos in his life, but he doesn't exactly come out of it physically unscathed. His injuries rarely carry on between episodes though.
* MadLibsCatchphrase: "Like my dad always says, [ridiculous statement]."
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: A lot.
--> "But you know what they say: 'sticks and stones can damage your vital organs, so always wear body armor.'"\\
"Well, you know what they say: 'whatever breaks our egg only helps our egg-dropping contraption utilize the forces of gravity, inertia and weight distribution better.'"
* MetaphorIsMyMiddleName: Combined with HisNameReallyIsBarkeep; Danger really is his middle name (though it's pronounced Dawn-Zhay), derived from his grandma's maiden name apparently.
* TheMillstone: His bad luck tends to be the source of all the conflict in each episode. It's to the point where, in ''Sunny Side Up'', he helps keep their project intact by not helping.
** On the other hand, in full-blown crisis situations such as the Pistachion takeover, his skill at dealing with chaos makes him useful enough to be worth the handicap, particularly since Murphy's Law is as likely to affect opponents in his radius as anyone else. [[spoiler: In "The Phineas and Ferb Effect" Candace discovers this for herself after trying to convince him to keep a safe distance from her brothers' pistachio-fighting operation, and he becomes the mission's key weapon after the kids figure out that Murphy's Law can be strategically aimed.]]
* MurphysLaw: It applies to him. Obviously.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Milo is a thirteen year old kid (as of his birthday) who has a trim physique, yet he routinely wears body armor that had the school principal knocked over and asking for help along with ''an entire ship's anchor'', which can easily weigh anywhere between [[http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/technical/anchorguide.htm fifteen and a hundred pounds]] in his backpack. He carries both so frequently that his mother immediately questions why the anchor isn't in his backpack at the end of "Worked Day".
-->'''Opera Actor:''' ''[After Milo replaced an actor, Operactically]'' You're shorter than I remember.\\
'''Milo:''' ''[Operactically]'' This is the physique that I was cursed with.
* NiceGuy: Despite the constant chaos in his life, Milo is always optimistic, friendly, and polite.
* OppositesAttract: At first, a one-sided version: Milo, who creates chaos everywhere he goes, has a crush on Amanda, who is an obsessive perfectionist. In time, the feeling is reciprocal.
* ThePollyanna: Despite the chaos that unfolds around him, he has so far been shown smiling through it and looking on the bright side of it all.
* SeenItAll: Because of everything that happens around him, he's hardly fazed by any oncoming disasters. Although normally optimistic, as a result, his overall expressions to danger tend to be that of disgruntlement and bemusement.
* ShipTease: He gets a bit flustered around Amanda when trying to make sure nothing bad happens to her, and she reciprocates when he manages to do great good.
* SpannerInTheWorks: In "Missing Milo", he runs up a tree and puts his backpack on it as it falls. When King Pistachion is attacking the school, Milo picks up a baseball and throws it, and after giving [[NoodleImplements a piano winch and cable snares to Zack, an extra-large straight jacket to Sara, wind chimes and a self-inflating air raft to Melissa]], he summons a woodpecker whistle, and the woodpeckers start to peck away at King Pistachion, followed by Diogee taking a tinkle on Pistachion, and the uric acid stops the mutant pistachio plants.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Gets ''all'' of his physical looks from his father.
* ThreeAmigos: With Zack and Melissa.
* TwoFirstNames: Either "Milo" or "Murphy" can be used as a first name.
* UnluckilyLucky: A textbook example. If there's anything more unlikely than the messes he gets himself into, it's the fact that he manages to get ''out'' of them. If there's a one in a trillion chance of something going wrong around him, it will, but the string of disasters that he's followed by rarely does any worse than inconvenience him, even when it's something like being chased by wolves or falling off a cliff. Sometimes they even end up working out in his favor. For instance, on the day of his surprise birthday party, Diogee ended up eating or otherwise messing around in Milo's birthday cake. Cue various trucks filled with cake and ice cream careening off the road along with a shipment of fireworks falling out of the sky and crashing simultaneously in mid-air, raining cake and ice cream on Milo and his friends while treating them to a brilliant display of fireworks.
* VocalDissonance: It's a bit of an aberration to hear a young 13-year-old boy speaking with the voice of "Weird Al" Yankovic.
* WalkingDisasterArea: His condition means that his mere presence causes things to go haywire around him. To hammer this home, in "Sunny Side Up", he wakes up to a perfectly normal and undamaged room... and immediately assumes it's a dream before waking up for real and finding that a tree plowed through his window.
* WeirdnessMagnet: Milo's bad luck can attract some ''really'' strange things, like time-agents or space aliens.

* AbsurdPhobia: Played with. Melissa has a mortal terror of roller coasters, which both Zack and Milo point out is fairly commonplace. It's the reason ''why'' she's afraid of roller coasters that's absurd. She was almost crushed by [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb the Coolest Coaster Ever]] when it [[ContinuityNod fell from the sky.]] And it did crush her science project. (We never ''do'' find out why she was working on a science project on the first day of summer...)
* ActionGirl: She is constantly on mis-adventures with Milo and Zack and is perfectly capable of dealing with the danger and hurdles that such activity entails. She is also seen practicing various forms of martial arts in some episodes. Then there's everything she does in "The Speech and Debate League of Death and Destruction Cross Town Explosion Event".
* ActionSurvivor: Because she hangs out with Milo and has to deal with his luck, she becomes this.
* TheAnticipator: She's good at knowing when Murphy's Law is going to strike.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: Becomes a darling of the Doctor Zone Files fans after she correctly deduces [[spoiler: that Time Ape and Doctor Zone are brothers]] after an all night marathon of the most current series and a quick perusal of a reference book.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted. She has been covered in egg ("Sunnyside Up"), cheese at least once ("Secrets and Pies"), been left looking like a ShellShockedVeteran with a ThousandYardStare ("Murphy's Lard"), and on at least one occasion that had nothing to do with Milo, caught a pop fly in the face that knocked out two of her permanent teeth, leaving her wearing dentures to replace them ("Secrets and Pies" again).
* BigSisterInstinct: Stands up for Milo in the first episode via her bet, refuses to let Milo lose out on coming to high school with her and Zack in "The Note" and in "Worked Day", tells off her father when he round-aboutly accuses Milo of causing the fish hatchery fire. This is present for Zack (though more subdued) as in "Wilder West", she's not pleased with him [[LoveMakesYouDumb throwing himself into danger to impress Jackie.]]
* CasualDangerDialogue: She'll often share conversations like this with Milo in the midst of a chaotic situation, given how used to it they both are.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Boom!"
* CharacterTics: Melissa is prone to raising one eyebrow, even in resting position.
* CompositeCharacter: In a sense. She somewhat resembles Candace Flynn, but both physically and in personality she is closer to Vanessa Doofenshmirtz, with a bit of Isabella Garcia-Shapiro thrown in.
* CovertPervert: Milo, who doesn't get why people need a rally to inspire pep, asks Melissa if she finds it at all peppy. She watches the Gecko mascot fall out of his costume and replies that it does.
* DeadpanSnarker: Keeps her wits about her by keeping her wit dry.
* DistressedDamsel: Ends up stuck on a ConveyorBeltOfDoom in "The Note".
* DissonantSerenity: Not to Milo's extent, of course, but it usually takes a lot in her everyday to make her lose her composure.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: At least by the standards of this show's art style, which it shares with ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''. Melissa has actual pupils and irises, as opposed to the colored dots that serve as a pupil/iris combo for most other characters in both shows.
* FieryRedhead: A redheaded girl with spunk and the ability to pack a punch, exhibited best in "Spy Little Sister".
* ForgetfulJones: Zack notes her as this in "The Undergrounders."

* GratuitousFrench: When critiquing Milo in "Secrets and Pies".
-->'''Melissa:''' ''[After Milo pulls out a Sherlock Holmes-style hat instead of a chef's hat]'' Wrong chapeau, Chef de Cuisine.
* GuileHero: Manipulates Amanda into helping with Milo's birthday in "Party of Peril", playing on Amanda's OCD tendencies by saying things like "Color coordination isn't important".
* HighSchoolHustler: Spends the entire first episode running a betting pool over whether or not Milo and Zack will make it to school on time, goading the other kids to up the ante with every misstep that happens to the two. [[spoiler: She wins and gives the proceeds, which were comprised of lunch and food items, to Milo and Zack, who had both lost their lunches earlier in the day]].
** In "Worked Day" she gives Zack 14:1 odds on a disaster occurring with Milo ''' ''and'' ''' his dad in the same spot at the same time. [[spoiler: We see her collecting on that money as everything goes south.]]
** In "Acadecamathalon", she tells everyone who's ready to give up to step to one side and give her $5. Chad [[TooDumbToLive actually pays her]] before Milo gives a RousingSpeech. When Chad fails to perform in the contest, Melissa tells him he's not getting the money back.
* MagicAIsMagicA: More than once, she's called out Zack on being weirded out by one thing, when there's something even weirder going on.
-->'''Zack''': I'm the lard… arbiter of good taste? What's that all about?
-->'''Melissa''': Really? And you didn't have a problem with the spaghetti people from another dimension?
* MagicSkirt: Even when hanging upside-down from a pistachio tree.
* MissingMom: Her dad appears to be parenting her by himself.
* {{Nerd}}: Seems to be a deliberate subversion of the usual [[HollywoodNerd character type.]] Melissa is an academic overachiever that avoids athletic activity, is downright obsessive about school projects and getting her teachers' approval, always carries around calculators and other tech with her, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of strange and obscure things. When times call for it can be considered TheSmartGuy, but has more of a "cool kid" personality.
* NotSoAboveItAll: She appears at first to be the always cool, calm and collected StraightMan to their adventures, but as the series goes on she shows quite a few silly and oddball quirks of her own and is not always as unfazed as she looks, putting Zack more in the role while she plays more of a BlitheSpirit.
* OnlyFriend: Before Zack came along, it's implied that she was Milo's only friend as she is willing to tolerate his luck unlike the other students.
* PassionateSportsGirl: While not athletic, she does enjoys sports to the point that she caught a baseball with her face at the cost of two of her permanent teeth.
* PerpetualSmiler: Her default facial expression is a calm, composed smile, and she will regress to it if there's no contextual trigger for other emotions.
* PuppyDogEyes: She has 'doe eyes': for emergency use only.
* ShesGotLegs: Has some pretty long and shapely ones for a girl her age, and she wears a one-piece swimsuit that shows them off when she swims.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Certainly invokes this in "Milo's Lard" after her harrowing roller coaster ride with Milo. Notably averted most other times.
* ShipTease: Increasingly so with Zack in Season 2, and she even gives him a peck on the cheek in "Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space."
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: To a very lesser extent (and she has become GenreSavvy about this), but being one of Milo's best friends inevitably turns her in a victim of AmusingInjuries at some point.
* TheSmartGuy: Has a stellar GPA and wants to keep it that way.
* StringTheory: She has an entire room that uses this to find a way to counteract Murphy's Law.
* ThreeAmigos: With Zack and Milo.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Melissa may look fairly feminine with the pink skirt and shoes, and she isn't above wearing dresses for fancy occasions, but personality-wise she seems rather tomboyish. "Spy Little Sister" has a scene where she voices her disdain for her dad wanting her to have more "femergy" while she would rather be doing cool spy stuff than knitting and having tea. She also snarks a lot and speaks with boyish slang (like her "boom" catchphrase), and is shown to play and be good at a lot of sports including martial arts like karate and wrestling.
* UnfazedEveryman: To a certain extent; in the theme song, she calmly ensures she and Zack are safely out of the way of the falling title, but otherwise doesn't react at all.

* BodyHorror: A rare PlayedForLaughs example. After he reverts back toreplace them ("Secrets and Pies" again).normal, his right hand stays as a plant.
*BigSisterInstinct: Stands up for DeadpanSnarker: It's pretty much his trademark that he has a lot of salty remarks about Milo and Murphy's Law.
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** He's very honorable. In the pilot, when Melissa wagers that Zack and Milo will make it to school on time, he forfeits all the lunch items and Vitamin C tablets he placed in the betting pool.
** Even he has never wished for there to be a world without Milo. Or if he has, he would never be rude enough to say it ''to Milo's face'', the way Elliot Decker does.
* GreenEyedMonster: He's jealous of the attention that Milo gets from his bad luck, especially his friendship with Melissa.
* GrumpyBear: As a foil to Milo's optimism.

* InkSuitActor: He looks pretty similar tolet his voice actor, Vincent Martella.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** He's not wrong when he makes his criticisms about how Milo's bad luck causes a lot of trouble, and how adults never seem to account for it. It says something that Zack when he got a taste of Murphy's law had a similar opinion initially.
** He points out to Melissa that partnering up with Milolose out on coming could threaten her straight A streak. Which actually is true, and Milo works hard to high school make sure that his bad luck doesn't cause their project to fail. Meanwhile, Bradley comes in second in the competition since his group's egg only has a hairline crack.

* CowardlyLion: Has a number of fears, such as Coyotes[[note]]Which would be a terribly specific form of Cynophobia, a fear of canine animals[[/note]], Claustrophobia, and Ichthyophobia[[note]]a fear of fish[[/note]], but he's so far kept up with Milo with little problems, even devising a plan to save the three of them after they fell off a cliff right before they fell in a convoluted escape they now refer to as "The Woodpecker Incident".
* DeadpanSnarker: Especially the show is highlighting his role as OnlySaneMan. Particularly noticeable in "The Math Book", in which he constantly downplays Melissa and Milo's characterization of their mundane objective of retrieving Melissa's math book as a "quest".
* TheEveryman: Probably the most down-to-earth member of the gang. He acts sort of like how a viewer of the show would behave if he/she were to encounter someone like Milo.
* FaceOfTheBand: An InUniverse example for the Lumberzacks.
* {{Foil}}: Often grouchy and pessimistic, while Milo is cheery and optimistic.
* HairColorDissonance: Zack's black hair uses a bright red outline.
* TheHero: In "The Mid-Afternoon Snack Club", he was this for once.
* HiddenDepths: While he's a somewhat easily startled OnlySaneMan much of the time, he's also a talented singer who was once the leader of a hit boy band. His only known song is still on the air long after he quit. By the end of the first episode, he finds Milo's disasters exciting in moderation.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Played with in the first episode. Zack complained about
* InHarmsWay: Naturally happens via being Milo's friend but really gets into this trope while [[LoveMakesYouDumb trying to impress Jackie]].
* LiteralMinded: Something of a running gag.
* GranolaGuy: Wagers Vegan Cheese Sticks into
* LovableJock: Is on the football team, and friendly with both [[ThePollyanna Milo]] and [[GrumpyBear Bradley]].
* NiceGuy: Reassures Milo that his own misfortunes are due to his chakras, and not Milo's Murphy Law Syndrome.
*
* LoveMakesYouDumb: His crush on Jackie in "Wilder West" causes him to drop his OnlySaneMan status with alarming speed. His friends are less than thrilled.
* NaiveNewcomer: Because he's new in the area, he's not aware of Milo's bad luck and the destruction he causes when he first meets him.
* NewTransferStudent:
* OldShame: Was in a BoyBand, the Lumberzacks.
* OnlySaneMan: By far the most level-headed and normal of the three friends. This sometimes works against him, as
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: [[spoiler: Keeps having to deny that he and Melissa are a couple in "The Phineas and Ferb Effect."]]
* ShipTease: Increasingly so with Melissa in Season 2, who even gives him a peck on the cheek in "Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space."
* {{Sidekick}}:
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Even official accounts spell his name as "Zach" sometimes.
* ThreeAmigos: With Milo and Melissa.

[[spoiler:After spending most of the season seeking out the "alien menace", when everyone finds themselves on the Octalians' homeworld, he spends a great deal of time complaining about the situation and how he wants to go home.

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: He is desperate to prove that his and Vinnie's mission is a meaningful one. He latches onto the idea that Milo is a counter agent sent to thwart them for this very reason. In season two, he becomes convinced that there's an alien invasion on the way, and that he's the only one who can prevent it.
* InspectorJavert: Starting with the "Time Out" episode and ending in "Missing Milo", Cavendish believed Milo Murphy was a counteragent sent to thwart their pistachio-guarding mission, and he begins a relentless pursuit of Milo.
-->'''Dakota''': That's that Milo Murphy I was telling you about! Every time our pistachios get ruined, he's there. Every time!
-->'''Cavendish''': No.
-->'''Dakota''': And he almost took out the shipment just then!
-->'''Cavendish''': That's preposterous. [The scuba tank suddenly discharges, hitting the shipping crate of pistachios from Tunisia]
-->'''Dakota''': Whoa!! [Cavendish and Dakota literally hit the deck to avoid the wild scuba tank] See?
-->'''Cavendish''': But that would mean… [gasps] He's trying to stop us! He's trying to ruin our mission! Dakota, what we are doing here is not inconsequential! If it's important enough to send a counteragent, it must be vital!
-->'''Dakota''': Hey, now you're getting a little -
-->'''Cavendish''': We are not just nut-guarding nobodies, we are secret spy somebodies with our very own counteragent!
-->'''Dakota''': Well, I guess things are looking up.
-->'''Cavendish''': Just look at him over there, plotting our demise!
-->'''Milo''': I sure love cheese fries!
-->'''Cavendish''': Oh, this is not over, Milo Murphy! Not by a longshot.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Can easily lift Milo by his backpack with one hand, the same backpack that houses a full sized anchor, car parts, musical instruments, and other heavy equipment. That's not even taking into account Milo's body armor.
* NeverMyFault: When their missions go awry, Cavendish is often quick to blame Vinnie for whatever happened. Later on, he's shifted the blame to Milo.
** {{Subverted|Trope}} in "The Substitute", when he tries to prevent Diogee from "doing his business" on the pistachio seedling, only for Cavendish himself to accidentally step on and crush the pistachio plant:
-->'''Cavendish''': Whoa, whoa, no no, no, no, no! Get out of here, you beast! [Cavendish chases Diogee away] Well, there you go, our first successful mission. [Dakota taps him on the shoulder, pointing to the pistachio plant Cavendish just stepped on] [[OhCrap Oh, nuts.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: Particularly after "Missing Milo," when his all-encompassing mission falls to the wayside out of necessity and he's far more open to any tomfoolery Dakota might happen to suggest (the "Ditch Day" sequence in "Perchance to Sleepwalk" about sums it up).
* OddCouple: His formal, uptight demeanor often clashes with the more laid-back Dakota.
* StealthHiBye: Is prone to vanishing the instant the camera is no longer focusing on him.
* {{Steampunk}}: Aside from his top hat with goggles, his gadgets follow this style.
* StraightMan: He may look and act like he's this, but it's rather quietly subverted; its almost implied that he's slightly ''less'' smart than [[CloudCuckoolander Vinnie]]. For example, in the "Doctor Zone Files", when Sara orders pistachios, Balthazar condescendingly informs her the correct pronunciation ("pi-stash-ee-oh") but Vinnie [[KnowNothingKnowItAll tells him that's exactly how she said it]]. And in "The Island of Lost Dakotas", we see that [[spoiler: he frequently DIES due to his own blunders while on missions, and that Vinnie constantly has to go back in time to prevent his deaths from happening.]]
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: [[spoiler: The episode "The Island of Lost Dakotas" reveals that Cavendish is this trope, though he is completely unaware of it. Dakota has created a system where he goes back in time to prevent his friend's constant deaths, with all the prior versions of himself that result from doing this going off to live on a deserted island to minimize temporal irregularities.]]
* TimePolice: Ordered to protect the pistachios. He's been demoted further to cleaning Rennaisance outhouses, but he regularly shirks these duties to do his own thing.
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Literally. Several of his deaths from "The Island of Lost Dakotas" were due to his own poorly thought out actions, such as trying to ski down an expert-level slope, leaning against the railing of a walkway over a vat of molten lava, and walking out onto an alien planet without putting on his space suit's helmet first.]]
** To be fair, [[spoiler:the majority of those deaths were due to plain bad luck. Like having a beam drop on him out of nowhere on a construction site, the aforementioned railing suddenly giving way (no it wasn't weakened by the heat, it ''broke''!), and having a T-rex eat him and only him despite Dakota standing right next to him when they were traveling around prehistoric times.]] Cavendish seems to attract bad luck at an extent like Milo does.
* UltimateJobSecurity: He and Dakota were already considered bad agents, then they were caught deliberatedly failing to protect pistachios and destroying them instead, and neither seem to have the slightest interest on actually working ever since they were reassigned to cleaning Rennaisance outhouses, yet they still have a job. They finally lose this in season two, where they are fired and banished to present-day Earth.
* UnknownRival: Both of them, technically, but Balthazar briefly became obsessed with "thwarting Milo" (see WrongGenreSavvy), while Dakota would rather not bother. Thanks to Murphy's Law and their own incompetence, Milo barely even knew who they were for several episodes, apart from being pistachio vendors.
* WindmillCrusader: He was convinced that Milo is a threat to their plans and had it out for them for a short period of time.
* WrongGenreSavvy: After learning about Milo's presence whenever one of their missions fails, he becomes certain that Milo is an enemy agent out to stop them. It isn't until they properly converse in "Missing Milo" that he learns and accepts that [[RightForTheWrongReasons it was just localized bad luck caused by Milo's Murphy's Law]].
** Apparently Earth had a second moon before he and Dakota blew it up.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Averted. When he asks Melissa if she minds if he sits by her, she cheerfully tells him to go ahead. He ends up backing away, however, because Milo is already on Melissa's other side.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: His relationship with Milo, who he feels is always stealing his thunder.
* AttentionWhore: Envies Milo's constant misfortune because it makes him conspicuous.
* BodyHorror: A rare PlayedForLaughs example. After he reverts back to normal, his right hand stays as a plant.
* DeadpanSnarker: It's pretty much his trademark that he has a lot of salty remarks about Milo and Murphy's Law.
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** He's very honorable. In the pilot, when Melissa wagers that Zack and Milo will make it to school on time, he forfeits all the lunch items and Vitamin C tablets he placed in the betting pool.
** Even he has never wished for there to be a world without Milo. Or if he has, he would never be rude enough to say it ''to Milo's face'', the way Elliot Decker does.
* GreenEyedMonster: He's jealous of the attention that Milo gets from his bad luck, especially his friendship with Melissa.
* GrumpyBear: As a foil to Milo's optimism.
* IGaveMyWord: He gives up all the lunch items he wagered, without complaint, when Melissa wins their bet that Zack and Milo will make it to the first bell.
* InkSuitActor: He looks pretty similar to his voice actor, Vincent Martella.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** He's not wrong when he makes his criticisms about how Milo's bad luck causes a lot of trouble, and how adults never seem to account for it. It says something that Zack when he got a taste of Murphy's law had a similar opinion initially.
** He points out to Melissa that partnering up with Milo could threaten her straight A streak. Which actually is true, and Milo works hard to make sure that his bad luck doesn't cause their project to fail. Meanwhile, Bradley comes in second in the competition since his group's egg only has a hairline crack.
* KickTheDog: Shown baiting a giraffe with food in "We're Going To The Zoo," then yanking it away at the last minute for no reason.

They are the first ArcVillain and the primary antagonists in [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS1E23MissingMilo Missing Milo]], [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS1E34FungusAmongUs Fungus Among Us]] and the crossover with ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', entitled [[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS2E1ThePhineasAndFerbEffect The Phineas and Ferb Effect]].

* TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: Their king is also their dad.

* ImplacableMan: After he notices Milo and the surviving time travelers he pursues them nonstop, chasing them across the city, and even through time without letting up. He's completely unfazed after getting hit by a car, and even after Milo finally manages to harm him by siccing woodpeckers on him he ''still'' doesn't slow down. It takes destroying his younger defenseless self in the present to finally get rid of him.

* LaughablyEvil: He's a legitimate threat, but also has humorous mannerisms that provide much comic relief.
