* HappilyMarried: As the BetaCouple, he and Dragon enjoy a more stable relationship than the two ogres...



* FetishFuel



* BabiesEverAfter: Before Shrek and Fiona, natch.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Wasn't going to appear in ''Shrek 2''. Fan demand changed this, granting her a cameo appearance post-credits. She features more prominently later in the series, and has a small following.
* FetishFuel: [[YourMileageMayVary Definitely subjective.]] However, the first film's karaoke features Dragon accompanying Donkey's rendition of ''Baby Got Back'' with a [[CrowningMomentofFunny little dance...]]
* HappilyMarried: Yes. [[HotSkittyonWailordAction But the mechanics are mind-boggling!]]

* MoralDissonance: Some of Shrek's everyday actions are quite objectionable, but the movies never call him out on this issue, [[{{Gasshole}} instead]] [[ComedicSociopathy playing]] [[RuleofFunny for laughs]].


Added DiffLines:

* ComedicSociopathy: Somewhat in the first two movies.


Added DiffLines:

* MoralDissonance: Worse than her husband, which is ironic, considering the movies' focus on Shrek's [[CharacterDevelopment growth of character]] ([[BrokenAesop or not]]).
** Okay, she probably didn't mean to feed Ariel [[EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks to the sharks]] for [[DisproportionateRetribution accidentally frolicking with Shrek]]. The fairies, though... Girl, you've been locked up in a tower for years, and you're fine with [[ComedicSociopathy trapping little women in jars?]]

He\'s not taken seriously enough for most of the movie to be considered a Complete Monster.

* AmbiguouslyGay: In a different way from Prince Charming - whereas Charming was just flat-out effeminate, Rumple has extremely flamboyant mannerisms and is obsessed with wigs.



* BunnyEarsLawyer: His obsession with wigs doesn't make him anything less of a CompleteMonster.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Although Charming can also be viewed as a CampStraight in the second movie, the third movie seems to imply that he merely cares about having power over Far Far Away, without any feelings for Fiona. [[spoiler: Arguably averted with his romance with Rapunzel in the third film.]]

** BadassDecay: Becomes unusually soft in ''Shrek The Third'' (although this can be [[{{JustifiedTrope}} justified]] by his becoming a domesticated family man, something that he seeks to correct in ''Forever After''). By the fourth movie, Shrek's badassery returns to pretty much normal levels, but he's [[{{Understatement}} overshadowed]] by the ProudWarriorRaceGuy ogre clan.
