* {{Catchphrase}}: There are several and some of them have some CerebusRetcon to them.
** Kitsune[[spoiler:/Tadashi]] - "I would be lying (if)..." [[spoiler:originally from Maya Rice]], "...Complications..." & "Sentiment is a fatal flaw in this world." [[spoiler:originally from Knives]], "Unbelievable"
** Hebi - "...cliche..", "I would be lying (if)..."
** [[spoiler: Maya - "I would be lying (if).."]]
** [[spoiler: Knives - "Sentiment is a fatal flaw in this world.", "...complications..."]]

* CharacterTics: [[{{Catchphrase}} Catchphrases]] for one thing.

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: [[spoiler: So very played with Tadashi/Kitsune. His friends were shocked to see this and initially attributed it to being unable to cope with the deaths of his 'roommates'. They saw him only as this NiceGuy AllLovingHero who doesn't need any of the negative emotions on his face. However, they come to realize that Kitsune is a part of Tadashi, no matter how much they want to erase it, and reluctantly live with the glimpses of Kitsune in Tadashi. Tadashi has long since come to peace he had killed and choose instead to incapacitate his victims with the new sword Hiro created for him with a noted ruthless edge. Unlike Big Hero Six, Animal Group did not find Tadashi that off-putting but relatively speaking they accepted both sides better mainly because of their desire of normal life and the tragic circumstances that made them become hardened warriors.]]

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10853393/1/Fox-face-Flames Fox-Face and Flames]], a WesternAnimation/BigHero6 AlternateUniverseFic written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/5798550/tykimikkity tykimikitty]].

Summary: Another mask-wearing hero arrives in San Fransokyo. Having no qualms about killing, this man appears to be more of an adversary than an ally to the city's six heroes. Putting that aside, something about this fox-masked, anti-hero seems melancholy and familiar... [[spoiler:alive/anti-hero!Tadashi]]

* CurbstompBattle: Kitsune[[spoiler:/Tadashi]] [[OneManArmy easily]] took out the robbers at the bank, [[spoiler: Ron and his accomplices]] and [[spoiler: those who threatened Cass, Krei, Maeko, and himself at the Winter Festival.]]. Hebi at the warehouse took out a plethora of people at the Pierce-Brian hostage situation. One [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilarious]] example came when both groups arrived at [[spoiler: the 5b facility and took out the four Black Gloves' members.]]

* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler: Saru, Tako's lackey, is based heavily on Naki from Manga/TokyoGhoul on his various quirks as WordOfGod said.]]

* WordOfGod: The author admitted she hadn't read much of the supplemental materials and what was officially canon from supplemental materials are incidental just in various ways.

* AmbiguousDisorder: [[spoiler: Tadashi. Is Kitsune a SplitPersonality as a result of DID or his negative emotions amplified by trauma or destruction of his original personality to honor his dead ‘roommates’ wishes? Either way, Kitsune is a part of Tadashi and nobody can erase that and the trauma that created the transformation. Currently, Tadashi seemed to have merged with Kitsune and displayed his negative emotions openly frequently including ruthlessness and indifference]].

* WeaponsOfChoice: While Big Hero 6's weaponry was already established, Animal Group is more [[CombatPragmatism pragmatic]], using martial arts or any kind of hand-in-hand combat, guns, knives, pipes, chains, etc.
** ImprobableWeapon: Hebi's wires
** TheGunslinger: Taka's choice
** EveryJapaneseSwordIsAKatana: Kitsune carries around a katana and a wakizashi as his main choice of weapons.

* MoralityKitchenSink: Team Animal have varieties of Antiheroes with good hearts underneath although how they dealt with their situation varies. Big Hero 6 and [[spoiler: Tadashi]] is in the undeniably noble. [[spoiler: Hiro is on the [[Analysis/AntiHero Sliding Scale Of AntiHeroes]] once again because of his brother. CASCO performed those inhumane experiments to find immortality all for the sake of IllBoy. Sora Keiji and Tako are insane but for different reasons.]]

** {{Kitsune}}: The whole psychological mess is done to resemble kitsune-possession and how foxes are depicted as tricksters and shapeshifters. With AmnesiacResonance, the fox seems to intensify Tadashi and cast an illusion of normalcy.
