A majority of difficult obstacles are only overcome due to Lin Chung's expertise, and most episodes would not reach a conclusion if not for his skillful and/or creative solutions. In fact, most [[CookingDuel animal challenges]] are won solely by Lin Chung, by his direct intervention, or thanks to his advice. Often, the other members of First Squad aren't even needed once Lin Chung discovers how to achieve victory. It's no wonder that First Squad's de facto leader, Mr. No Hands, simply stays home most of the time. This would all be fine if Lin Chung was actually clearly defined as TheHero of the series, rather than focusing on the concept of there being a team of heroes.
* StrictlyFormula: [=ApeTrully=] goes to animal's castle and offers a golden present. [=ApeTrully=] gets captured and calls First Squad. First Squad beats up the animals, animals refuse to surrender unless First Squad beats them in some [[CookingDuel random competition]].
* TheSoCalledCoward: Sammo, supposedly so cowardly that the other whales shun him, swims right into danger when the heroes ask him to transport them. He never even flinches.
* SpaceWhaleAesop: Many times. High Roller could be considered one himself. Read nothing but comics and eat only candy and you will turn into an evil emperor. Be nice to butterflies and they will save you from magic zebras.
* SuddenlyVoiced: Camel King and Golden Eye Husky; [[JustifiedTrope justified]] since Parrot King is now teaching English.
* {{Talking Animal}}s
* TheEmperor: High Roller
* TheRival: Second Squad
* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: High Roller turning First Squad into Animals.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Zebra Brothers
* TransformationNameAnnouncement: I am Mighty Ray! [[EyeBeams Fear my eyeballs!]]
* WideEyedIdealist: [=ApeTrully=] thinks the answer to all problems is asking nicely.
** Asking nicely and [[CrimefightingWithCash offering piles of gold]].
*** It doesn't hurt to try, but it's never worked onscreen.
*** He used it to buy a ticket to a performance of the Panda and Giraffe King.
*** It actually DID work, sort of, in regards to winning over the bat and the hen forces in "Pitched Battle of the Airforce." They actually joined Big Green without trying to put First Squad through the standard challenge. But, to be fair, they HAD already just been beaten thoroughly in mass combat and their allies, the eagles, had just abandoned them to Big Green's forces, which severely shook their faith in High Roller.
** In "Rabbit Castle", he also offers carrots to the rabbits.
* TheKlutz: The Zebras.
* TheUnintelligible: Jumpy Ghostface in the early episodes, and most of the time, Yaksha.
* TheWoobie: Chameleon Queen
* TheWormThatWalks: Many bugs have been shown able to become a larger being by combining.
* TooDumbToLive: Sure the Zebra Brothers and High Roller do the most stupid stuff, but the Air Defense Troops of Big Green actually ate the bamboo shoots that Lin Chung was using as ammo, leaving him totally defenseless. In fact, throughout the whole fight they seemed to be incredibly focused on eating the Heroes' ammo.
** High Roller on one occasion is actually winning by a large margin, until he stops to mock his opponent, laugh, ''put on a puppet show'', and then laugh some more. Then he gives up the key to Big Green after winning it to... conquer the moon.
* UnexplainedRecovery: In Peacock Castle, the Zebra brothers fell into a volcano. "Oh, but this is a kids' show, right? they'll crawl back out of it at the end of the episode, right?" No. The episode ended without even hinting that they could have survived. In the next episode they are fine, without even a HandWave to explain their resurrection.
* WardrobeMalfunction: a RunningGag with Woo the Wise.
* AWolfInSheepsClothing: Ape Trully. Although he looks kind of robotic, he's a monkey wearing his best attempt at a human disguise, because he believes his troops wouldn't take orders from a monkey -[[FridgeLogic even though Big Green is all about human/animal alliances.]]
** Though since this is based on a Chinese tale, it could be cause of the legend of "The Monkey Who Would be King." Or whatever it was called.
