* BreakoutCharacter: Baloo eclipsed Mowgli in popularity, being the most heavily merchandised character of the Disney adaptations as well as being promoted to the lead protagonist in spin off ''TaleSpin''.



* TheComicallySerious



* AscendedExtra: A OneSceneWonder in the first film, one of the main protagonists in the sequel.



* {{Badass}}: Big time! He's afraid of almost nothing and is implied to be capable to curb-stomp a wolf tribe on his own. And his treatment of Baloo nothing to sneeze at.

* CharacterExaggeration: Shere Khan seemed to take the opposite extreme who, while still the greatest threat of the original film, was still somewhat [[LargeHam hammy]] and [[LaughablyEvil whimsical]] in tone. In most later depictions (particularly in the sequel) he is [[KnightOfCerebus much more stoic and sinister in tone]].

->'''Voiced by:''' George Sanders (''The Jungle Book''); TonyJay (''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' and ''The Jungle Book 2''); Jason Marsden (''WesternAnimation/JungleCubs'')

* AdaptationalBadass: Shere Khan in the film is far more menacing than he was in the original books.
* AntiVillain: Shere Khan's hatred of humans becomes a lot more understandable when you consider that humans almost drove tigers to extinction.
* {{Badass}}: Big time! He's afraid of almost nothing and is implied to be capable to curb-stomp an entire wolf tribe on his own. And his treatment of Baloo nothing to sneeze at.
* BadassBaritone: Being voiced by GeorgeSanders and later TonyJay, this is to be expected.
* BigBad
* CatsAreMean
* CatsAreSnarkers
* CharacterExaggeration: Shere Khan seemed to take the opposite extreme who, while still the greatest threat of the original film, was still somewhat [[LargeHam hammy]] and [[LaughablyEvil whimsical]] in tone. In most later depictions (particularly in the sequel) he is [[KnightOfCerebus much more stoic and sinister in tone]].
* TheComicallySerious
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: In ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin''.
* CurbStompBattle: Delivers a nasty one to Baloo in the climax.
* DeadpanSnarker
* TheDreaded: Everyone and their mother is afraid of him. Well, not everyone, but those who [[TooDumbToLive aren't]]...
* EvenEvilHasStandards: In ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin''.
* EvilSoundsDeep: His one-line VillainSong says it all!
* FauxAffablyEvil: He is well-mannered and polite. Oh, but he still want to kill you. The fact that he can be so suave and courteous about killing a boy riles Kaa up to no end.
* {{Knight of Cerebus}}: As AffablyEvil as he is, his appearance in the original film stops much of the fun and silly mood and makes things more tense and dark. This is carried UpToEleven where he's concerned in the sequel.
* SissyVillain: [[Downplayed DownplayedTrope]]. He's genuinely feared predators of the jungle (he's mentioned as being stronger than the entire wolf pack combined) however, his wrath is hidden in an amusingly flamboyant, playful and soft spoken demeanor.
* TheStoic: In ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin''.
* TranquilFury
* WouldHurtAChild: So that said child won't grow up to be a hunter.

!![[Disney/TheJungleBook Kaa]]
->''"He won't be here in the morning."''\\
'''Voiced by:''' Sterling Holloway (''The Jungle Book''); JimCummings (''The Jungle Book 2'', ''WesternAnimation/JungleCubs'')

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original book by Creator/RudyardKipling, Kaa was one of Mowgli's friends and allies.
* AffablyEvil
* CharacterExaggeration: Kaa's incompetence and cowardliness are greatly exaggerated in the second movie to the point where he becomes something of a ButtMonkey, whereas in the first he was genuinely menacing yet constantly unsuccessful, and his general fear of Shere Khan (the same as everyone else) is exaggerated to not being able to form full sentences around him.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He finds it despicable that Shere Kahn wants to kill Mowgli pretty much just for being alive, as opposed to him, who wants to eat them to survive.
* HypnoticEyes
* LargeHam
* SissyVillain
* SmugSnake
* SssssnakeTalk
* VillainSong: "Trust In Me".
