With Pound serving as a more direct foe to the LT and MJ but still subservient to Swackhammer he qualifies as the heavy but not an in-chief one


* DragonInChief: As the leader of the Nerdlucks/Monsters, he's TheDragon to Swackhammer. However, he's far more directly involved in the situation and when he becomes a Monstar is ''far'' stronger than him. Unfortunately for Swackhammer, he and the other Monstars ''realize'' this in the end.

[[caption-width-right:1000:The Monstars]]
A quintet of small aliens from Moron Mountain who are tasked by Swackhammer to capture and enslave the Looney Tunes for attractions. When they are challenged to a basketball game, they steal talent from five NBA players and use it to transform into large, monstrous creatures called
The short-tempered orange leader of the Nerdlucks/Monstars.Monstars.



* AllThereInTheScript: None of their individual names are mentioned in the film itself, only in the credits. Likewise, the name of their pre-Monstars species, Nerdlucks, is not mentioned either.
* AppropriatedAppellation: While it's not outright stated, the Monstars moniker was bestowed upon them by Sylvester, and Nawt introduces themselves as such in their next scene, implying that they took a liking to the name.
* BadassBoast: Courtesy of Pound:
--> '''Pound:''' You've heard of the Dream Team? Well, we're the ''Mean'' Team, wussy man!
* CasualSportsJersey: As Monstars, they all wear jerseys with the number 0, and it's the only thing they were throughout the movie.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: When the Nerdlucks arrive to enslave the Looney Tunes, the Tunes are not easily intimidated, and challenge them to a basketball game, expecting it to be a cakewalk. Their tune [[MassOhCrap immediately changes]] when the Nerdlucks become the Monstars.
* GracefulLoser: After losing the game, they return the talent they stole. Although they were initially reluctant, they relented when Michael reminded them it was part of the deal.
* HeelFaceTurn: After realizing that they don't have to endure Swackhammer's abuse anymore, they turn on their former boss and send him flying away.
* IChooseToStay: At the end of the film, the Nerdlucks decide they don't want to go back to Moron Mountain and ask Bugs to stay with the Looney Tunes.
* InkSuitActor: Played with. As Monstars, they look like monstrous versions of the NBA players they stole talent from:
** Pound: Charles Barkley
** Bang: Patrick Ewing
** Blanko: Shawn Bradley
** Nawt: Muggsy Bogues
** Bupkus: Larry Johnson
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: What sets off their HeelFaceTurn. After being abused by Swackhammer for losing the game, Michael asks them why they endure the abuse. Their responses make them come to a realization and decide they've had enough.
-->'''Jordan:''' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Why're you taking it from this guy?]]\\
'''Bupkis:''' Because he's bigger.\\
'''Pound:''' He's ''bigger?!''\\
'''Bang:''' Than we ''used''... to be...\\
'''Monstars:''' [[EurekaMoment ...wait...]]\\
'''Swackhammer:''' ''[[OhCrap What are you doing?!]]''
--> (''cue The Monstars shoving Swackhammer in a rocket and sending him away)''
* OneWingedAngel: Their Monstar forms are these.
* SlasherSmile:
** They sport these frequently as the Monstars.
** Even before that, Pound and Bang both sport one as they hold the bag containing the ball with the talent they stole.
