* TheScrappy: Mookee. He is TheMillstone whenever he does '''anything''' other than pilot Team Stax's ship; his voice is annoying and he comes across as a [[EthnicScrappy racist caricature of Asians]] with his [[UnfortunateImplications Fu Manchu mustache, squinty eyes and buck teeth]]. In one episode, he wants to be a Kairu warrior and when Team Stax lets him, he spends the whole fight fanboying then trips and accidentally fires a laser at the tree they were trying to protect. After being called out on this he promises to get better. Then in the next fight, [[TooDumbToLive he screws up again]], but gets lucky and saves the day through his clumsiness. [[DesignatedHero Everyone treats him like a great hero for this]], but at least they decide not to let him be a Kairu warrior anymore. Whether or not his infrequent appearances after early season 1 is a good thing or not is up to you.

* BrokenAesop: A horribly botched GreenAesop in episode five. Maya leads the charge to protect a forest by ''[[KillItWithFire hurling a huge tornado made of pure fire within said forest.]]''
-->'''Boomer:''' Wow, when it comes to nature, you don't mess around, Maya!



* DesignatedHero: Team Stax. They can hurl fire around forests, trigger avalanches, throw rocks at random people and '' string someone to a Pterodactyl by their ankle'' and ''still'' be treated like good guys.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In "The Gauntlet of Lokar" it's hinted that Zair has a crush on Ky. She flirts with him and blushes when he thanks her at the end, and Maya and Boomer have spotted it. However, this was never mentioned before or after the episode, with Zair simply treating Ky like dirt as usual.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The original trading card game was doomed by its own gimmick. The cards are translucent with paint on certain parts so that players had to stack cards and combine their attributes, and attacks take the form of battle damage that reduces the victim's health bar. Not a bad idea on paper, but this also means that you needed a special board to prevent your opponent from seeing what you have. Combine this with the "basic" game giving you no control over what happens, and you have a game that hit the bargain bin after just a couple of months. The AnimatedAdaptation being a critical and commercial flop as well also hurt it in this regard.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The Imperiaz. why? [[ParentsInDistress Their backstory is sympathetic]], so they got many fans before their actual first appearance in the actual show, where they get treated like dirt not worthy of sympathy. Hasn't stopped them from getting it, though, and many fans are mad at the writers for not portraying them more sympathetically.

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: In episode seven, Team Stax deal with the "villain" of the day, an otherwise helpless paleontologist who had knocked them off a cliff while trying to capture a [[AWizardDidIt newly revived Pterodactyl]], by stringing him by his ankles to said Pterodactyl letting it fly off with him. Ummmm...

* CaptainObviousAesop: The pilot had the aesop "Slavery is bad." Really, there weren't enough plot points or other threads for the moral to be anything else. The "[[DudeNotFunny Taunting someone for a skin-blemish]]" potential moral is never closed. Nope. Slavery is bad.

* NeedsMoreLove: Ironically so, given some of the rather blunt and scathing Tropes on this page, but the show itself is a nice and overall decent Cartoon with some impeccable SceneryPorn.
