* BigBad: De la Porta's the villain of most episodes, but the biggest threat in the show is Chiros, the evil fire god sealed under Kong Island who starts to wake up when De La Porta steals most of the Primal Stones. The good news is they manage to hang onto enough to keep him from being able to leave his temple. The bad news is his minions like Harpy, her gargoyles and Onimus, Chiros's [[TheDragon Dragon]] who's big enough to take on Kong, have no such barriers.

* TheDragon: Both of the show's main villains, Chiros and De la Porta, have their own. Chiros has Harpy, his most intelligent underling who supervises most plans, and De la Porta has Omar, his most competent and loyal henchman. In the last story arc De la Porta becomes something of a Dragon to Chiros himself.

* SuperMode: If Kong gets angry enough while fused he can turn into "Mega Kong," with twice the size and strength of his original form. Given that he looks identical aside from size which can be hard to notice in a show with somewhat inconsistent animation, they sometimes resorted to actually having the characters point out the transformation so the viewer would know.
