* NubileSavage: Spear's wife looks a lot more like a modern human compared to her Neanderthal-like husband, with an appearance very close to modern beauty standards.

* LastOfHisKind: WordOfGod reveals that Spear was in fact the very last [[spoiler: pure-blooded]] Neanderthal in existence.
* {{Loincloth}}: His only piece of clothing.

* SuperStrength: This neanderthal has the absurd strength to not only grab a rock to break a tyrannosaur's ankle but he can also toss his spear dozens of yards away to pierce the flesh into said tyrannosaur's chest, puncture through boars, and impale giant bats. Whenever his weapon isn't useful or out of reach, he'll usually resort to using rocks such as when he battered the elderly mammoth to death after many physical strikes, although Fang did assist him by having the animal pinned down, making it easier for him to land the finishing blow. In ''River of Snakes''; he used broken tree branches to hit Fang hard enough to make her wince in pain. In ''Terror Under the Blood Moon'', he yanked off a horn of a triceratops to impale an enormous spider to save Fang from getting killed by it. ''Scent of Prey'' shows off his biggest feat of strength yet, where after creating a makeshift stretcher for Fang to lie on, while Spear does strain himself to move her body onto it, he does however manage to drag her for possibly miles, although carrying her for extended did exhaust him. After fastening himself to the stretcher akin to a harness, he's shown to have a less difficult time moving her around and didn't show any signs of exhaustion after that. He can also effortlessly carry stones that are slightly larger than his body to protect her from getting eaten by the wild dogs. [[spoiler: His own jaw strength is nothing sneeze at either. While his nowhere near as physically devastating as Fang's, it did become practical for him in combat such as one moment in the episode ''The Red Mist'', where he tore off apart of a viking's hand with nothing but his teeth. In ''The Colossaeus Part 1'', he's even dealt damage to Kamau, who's a humungous man with monstrous strength, by pounding into his body and biting him with enough force to make him bleed. Before that, right when Mira jammed two of her arrows into Kamau's back, Spear grabbed ahold of his giant ankle and absolutely floors him with no effort at all.]] Another jaw-dropping feat of his beyond-human strength that he's amazingly shown in ''The Colossaeus Part 3''', the heavy cinder block that's heavily attached to his handcuffs was forcefully dredged out of the floor and makes an ImprovisedWeapon out of it by swinging it around like a cubicle flail of sorts to attack and kill most of Ima's servants. After Mira frees Spear from his bindings, he begins his onslaught against more of the Egyptian soldiers that were forced to attack him by striking them with his fists as one of them was even seen getting sent flying from his physical blows. [[spoilers: By the time he fights the empowered Viking Chieftain for the final time in ''Echoes of Eternity'', right after fully ignoring his painful hellfire through sheer primal and fury, he's tumbled and tackled the demon off a cliffside and starts relentlessly ''wailing on him with punch after punch to his face'' until he couldn't even move anymore from the remaining burns scorching a majority of his body.]]

* TooUnhappyToBeHungry: Still stricken with grief from [[spoilers: Red's death]] in ''Dawn of Man'', she's spent most of her time unwilling to do anything by simply just lying down sulking in a cave. Even after Spear returned with a freshly killed deer for her to munch on, she opens her eye to look at it... only to solemnly close her eyes by not even bothering to eat.

An unlikely pair of heroes, a caveman and a tyrannosaur who team up after losing their respective families.

** She is shown to be MadeOfIron, able to recover from beatings and injuries that would be lethal. Fossils have shown ''Tyrannosaurus'' have suffered grievous injuries and ''survived''.

* PlatonicLifePartners: Theirs is an (obviously) non-romantic relationship but either would die to save the other without hesitation, and they are lifelong friends who love each other fiercely. While Spear feels isolated by Fang having children and Mira returning home, Fang's actions shows he's nothing to worry about about as she promptly breaks through a stonewall to share a home with him in Mira's village.

* BladeOnAStick: His weapon of choice, which he is named for.

* GoodParents: What little we see of him has him showing Spear how to make cave art while loving patting his son on the head as he smiles up at him.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: When angry his eyes turn red and his sclerae [[BlackEyesOfCrazy turns black]].
