* ArcherArchetype: Tarzan's skill with a bow is on a level with Myth/RobinHood, who according to the Wold Newton Universe may be a distant ancestor. His independence and stealth are also legendary. Finally, he conforms to the historical reality of bowmen being very strong; several times in the series, other warrior-types try to use his bow and fail utterly.

[[spoiler: This behavior foreshadows TheReveal that "Monsieur Thuran" is an alias for Nikolas Rokoff, Tarzan's arch-enemy and one of the most irredeemably evil characters in the entire series.]]

"Old Timer" (real name Hiram), who finds her early on, becomes jealous of this "Jerry Jerome" when he first hears of him, thinking the girl and Jerry are in a relationship. It's not until the last chapters of the book that Jessie and Jerry (revealed as "Old Timer"'s friend "The Kid") reunite, and reveal in the process that Jerry is actually Jessie's long-missing brother.

* CirclingVultures: Vultures appear many times, always as a harbinger of death, but they're never represented as evil. In ''Tarzan the Untamed'', Tarzan has to [[CrossingTheDesert cross a large, completely barren desert region]] to reach an area of good hunting beyond. By the third day his food and water are gone, and [[ThirstyDesert the desert has no springs or other water sources]], nor any edible life of any kind that he can find. There's only a single vulture circling overhead. Being Tarzan, though, he subverts the trope and makes the vulture his salvation when he lures it into arm's reach, and kills and eats it.

* CombatPragmatist: Tarzan will do pretty much whatever it takes to win a fight. He'll strike from ambush, attack from behind, and use every weapon available to him. He rarely leaves an enemy alive - his philosophy seems to be "the only safe enemy is a dead one" - and when he does, as with Rokoff in the first two books, it often comes back to bite him. In his younger days, he wasn't even above using [[PoisonedWeapons poisoned arrows]]. The only time he doesn't act like this is in ''The Return of Tarzan'' when he honestly believes he deserves to die because he unintentionally impugned a lady's honor.
