* ImprovedSecondAttempt: In season 1, High Roller turns First Squad into Animals with the help from demons, but aside from a partial transformation, they were quickly turned back to normal before they could do anything much to the disappointment of viewers. In the season 2 episode "Animals Inside" though, First Squad actually ''does'' get turned into animals as part of the plot (but without High Roller being involved in their transformation) and get to fight in their new forms.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Mystique Sonia is probably the one character that people remember the most from this show, mostly because of her design and being the sole female of the squad.

* FridgeBrilliance: In "Turtle Cannon Competition 2", First Squad wins the second challenge despite Second Squad scoring more points during the hot pepper balloon phase, with Apetruly's reasoning being that Lin Chung scored extra bonus points for knowing when to stop. While it might seem like an AssPull, it becomes clear once you realize that Lin Chung cared more about his friend than grabbing the gold award while Kowloon kept tossing the hot pepper balloons into Alpha Girl's face in order to score as many points as possible - acknowledging the fact it's stinging her horribly but going through it anyway. In other words, the winner was based on not just how many points they got but how much they should care about their fellow teammates regardless of whether they win, an important asset when it comes to teamwork; Kow Loon was willing to put one of his own teammates through pain for the sake of winning, showing he was putting victory above the well-being of another (he did care about Alpha Girl, but not enough to make winning less important to him), while Lin Chung willingly stopped as he couldn't bear to see his leader hurt over a competition. So long story short, the very last phase was actually a SecretTestOfCharacter which Lin Chung passed and Kow Loon failed, allowing First Squad to win despite Second Squad technically scoring more points.
* FridgeHorror: In the Liger episode, the Yaksha that Mystique Sonia has is burned up and she cons a [[spoiler:tank driver into saying he loves her three time so that he turns into a Yaksha, which she treats like it is the one she always had. Do the Yaksha all have the same mind?]]
** It appears the curse requires their love to be real, as when another group of people fell victim to it, they reverted back to normal when her looks got screwed up, while her Yaksha loved her anyway. And that [[spoiler: tank driver]] did actually admit to loving her.
* FridgeLogic: High Roller says all humans are enemies when he is human. So why do the animals listen to him?
** Well, you see, they all have this [[ComicallySmallBribe weakness for sweets]].

** The leeches in the episode "Leech King" when they're masquerading as the members of Big Green. They have unnaturally green eyes and weird black goo oozing from their eyes, not to mention they also [[RubberMan stretch and bend]] [[BodyHorror in horrific ways]] and [[CreepyMonotone speak in a rather disconcerting manner]]. And in one of the scenes, before the leeches begin replacing [=ApeTrully=] and First Squad, the episode provides us with... [[https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/hero108/images/5/5a/Leech_King_050.png/revision/latest?cb=20150124165750 this]].

--> '''Leech!Jumpy:''' Your... turn...

** In the opening scene of "Fox King and the Arachno Tanks" we get to see three fox cubs, but then [[FridgeHorror there's only two of them the next time we get to see them]]. We can only assume [=HighRoller=] actually ''killed the third cub offscreen'', and the fact [=HighRoller=] hung the rest of the family (sans Fox King) in a cage above [[SpikesOfDoom a set of spikes]] doesn't help in the slightest.
** In "Pitched Battle of the Air Force Part 2" we get the Twelve Eyed Striped Dumbat, a dangerous fusion of Big Green's enemies created by [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Mighty Ray toying around with Woo's invention]]. Basically, what happens first is that Mighty Ray, Mystique Sonia and Jumpy Ghostface are kidnapped, who then break free from the Dumbat's grasp and start assaulting the heads. What does it do to dispatch them? It grabs them with Bearstomp's arm and ''[[SwallowedWhole pulls them into HighRoller's mouth]]''. Not only is [=HighRoller=] ''satisfied'' right after (even commenting on their taste), there's also the fact that two of the victims are ''[[ImAHumanitarian humans]]''.
** [[KnightOfCerebus Twin Masters]]. Although the show is typically lighthearted, Twin Masters mean business and have a genuinely intimidating appearance of a gargantuan, half-blue and half-red, vaguely humanoid entity with a skull sitting on top of its incredibly wide torso and ''twelve hands'' (two big ones and one on each finger), not to mention [[VoiceOfTheLegion their voice is as equally intimidating]] and their motive being plunging Hidden Kingdom into everlasting chaos.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Twin Masters]] is a [[EldritchAbomination malevolent entity]] who wishes to plunge the Hidden Kingdom into everlasting chaos. [[WasOnceAMan Originally a prince]] with aspirations of conquest, Twin Masters had since become a master of chaos energy, altering their plans to [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans decimate the Hidden Kingdom]] and lord over the remains as a despot. Several of Twin Masters's plans are designed to cause massive damage, including forcing Oyster-Rahmas into draining the oceans; trying to revert all life to its prehistoric state; changing the course of an asteroid to crash into Hidden Kingdom; creating a chaotic storm with Mighty Ray's eyes; and, in the finale, absorbing all life energy into themselves as well as condemning their former minions to die alongside Hidden Kingdom. Forming a deep hatred for First Squad--Lin Chung in particular--Twin Masters corrupts Commander [=ApeTrully=] with their chaos energy and forces him to attack First Squad against his will. Drunk on their love for carnage and destruction, Twin Masters [[KnightOfCerebus darkened the setting]] of an otherwise lighthearted show with their presence.
