10	The son of Jaeger, husband of Meridian, and father of Ethan.
11	----
12	* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Acts as your typical embarrassing dad when Ethan's friends (and crush) roll up to the Clade farm, complete with [[TotallyRadical misappropriating teen slang]] and commenting on Ethan's crush ''to'' his crush.
13	* BlackAndWhiteMorality: He seems to believe this is always the case, as when he, Jaeger and Ethan play Ethan's favorite board game, he is confused over there being no villains in it, wondering how a story can work without them.
14	* ComicBookFantasyCasting: He was designed to resemble John Krasinski.
15	* ComicalCoffeeCup: At the end of the movie he's seen drinking from a mug with the words Pretty Good Dad on it. Doubles as a BrickJoke.
16	* GoodParents: He's not a perfect dad, but he's (in Ethan's own words) a "pretty good dad".
17	* HappilyMarried: Is in a loving, affectionate marriage with his wife, Meridian.
18	* InkSuitActor: Other than his bulbous nose, he strongly resembles his voice actor, complete with the stubble.
19	* JockDadNerdSon: At the beginning of the film, Searcher is shown to have an interest in botany rather than exploration, and later uses his knowledge to help Avalonia turn into a more advanced society. And in comparison, Jaeger is a manly adventurer with years of experience and adventures under his belt who turned the Clade clan into the exploration giants they were and was determined to discover what's beyond the mountains of Avalonia.
20	* MissingMom: {{Subverted\|Trope}} when he and Jaeger catch up with each other. Searcher mentions that his mother is "gone", and Jaeger quickly assumes that she's dead. However, Searcher clarifies that his mother left Jaeger for another man named Sheldon because [[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated she believed that the former died in the expedition]], and she still lives with the latter in town.
21	* PapaWolf: Searcher having explorer skills or not, strange world or not, no thing and no creature in it is gonna threaten Ethan.
22	* ParentsAsPeople: He's clearly a loving and supportive father (Ethan even calls him a "pretty good dad"), but Searcher's unresolved issues with his own father Jaeger have colored the way he parents his son, which had some areas for improvement.
23	* TurnOutLikeHisFather: [[spoiler:Searcher tries way hard to be the opposite of his dad by caring about his son and making sure he does not end up like Jaeger. But he realises by not considering what Ethan wants to be, Searcher is no different to how Jaeger treated him.]]

26	[[folder:Jaeger Clade]]
27	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/strange_new.jpg]]
28	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DennisQuaid
29	!!!'''Other Languages:''' Creator/MattiasKnave (Swedish), Creator/FrancescoPannofino (Italy)
30	Searcher's estranged father.
31	----
32	* BigOlEyebrows: Has thick, gray eyebrows.
33	* CharacterCatchphrase: "The one and only!"
34	* ComicBookFantasyCasting: His appearance was modeled on Kurt Russell.
35	* {{Determinator}}: As the number one explorer in the land of Avalonia, Jaeger was willing to do everything to explore what was beyond the mountains surronding the land. This included going solo when Searcher and the other explorers deduced that it was not worth it and wanted to head back. Even after falling into the new world beneath Avalonia, Jaeger survived all out of his sheer determination to explore and accomplish his goal.
36	* FireBreathingWeapon: His weapon when he was stuck in the strange world was a flamethrower.
37	* GoMadFromTheIsolation: He's been isolated from civilization for over 25 years, surviving in a hostile world trying to kill him. As a result, he initially believes that Searcher is a talking rock and the airship is just another delusion he has.
38	* JerkassRealization: [[spoiler:When he gets a glimpse inside Searcher's compass and sees that his son has taken him out of the family picture in the climax, Jaeger finally realizes how he has treated Searcher.]]
39	* MeaningfulName: The name Jaeger seems to derive from German language word ''Jäger'', meaning 'hunter'. This probably explains his more... unorthodox approach to parenting his son Searcher.
40	* OpenMindedParent: Or Open Minded Grandfather. Once Ethan mentions being interested in a guy, he starts immediately giving him love advice and doesn't even flinch about Ethan's crush being a guy.
41	* ParentsAsPeople: He and Searcher started repairing their relationship when Searcher explained why he became a farmer (which was to leave a lasting legacy for Ethan), to which Jaeger comments that he could relate.

47	!!!'''Other Languages:''' Tousin "Tusse" Chiza (Swedish), Lorenzo Cresci (Italy)
48	The son of Searcher and Meridian.
49	----
50	* CrushBlush: Ethan does this a bit when talking to his crush, Diazo.
51	* FarmBoy: Literally him at the beginning. He doesn't want to remain a farm boy, however. And this leads to conflict with his father.
52	* FriendToAllLivingThings: He has a knack for befriending the strange lifeforms below Avalonia, particularly to a blob-like creature he nicknames Splat. In fact, unlike his father and grandfather, Ethan prefers to work in harmony with the environment and lifeforms, exemplified by his love for the board game Primal Outpost, which heavily emphasizes environmental harmony. This plays a huge part leading towards TheReveal.
53	* KidHasAPoint: He makes some rather rational assessments throughout the picture, one of the stand-outs being that his grandfather‘s romance advice is pretty toxic.
54	* LittleStowaway: When Ethan was not allowed to join the expedition, he sneaks onto the ship with Legend.
55	* StraightGay: Ethan is openly gay but doesn't exhibit any overt gay stereotypes.
56	* TakeAThirdOption: He loved exploring like his grandfather, and while he doesn't want to be just a farmer like his father he appreciates it enough to want to settle into studying new environments and species.
57	* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: Throughout the adventure, Ethan is highly engaged in the newly found world and all of its creatures.

69	* DisapprovingLook: Gives one to Splat to make it stop pressing buttons.
70	* HartmanHips: Has very prominent round hips.

81	* BigFriendlyDog: Big and lovable and loves adventures with his family.
82	* CanineCompanion: To the Clades.
83	* DogsAreDumb: Legend is not the sharpest tool in the shed. For instance, after he picks up some pando that shocks him, he picks up some more and still gets shocked.
84	* TeamPet: Is the family pet of the Clades and doesn't do much in the plot beyond being, well, a pet.

90	A living blob creature whom Ethan befriends in the Strange World.
91
92	----
93	* TheBlank: Splat has no face to speak off, but still manages to be very expressive with its arms and body language.
94	* BlueIsHeroic: Splat is a blue blob that assists the human cast in their journey to save their home and helps them out through quite a few scenarios.
95	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: It decides to help the Clades after Ethan treats a burn on one of its tentacles.
96	* HeelFaceTurn: It initially lures Ethan to be eaten by the Reapers but after seeing Ethan's kindness, it immediately protects Ethan from the Reapers and even helps guide the Clades to the heart of Pando.
97	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Despite being an oversized cell with no face, Splat is adorable enough for the crew to want plushies made in its image.

101	[[folder:Callisto Mal]]
102	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LucyLiu
103	->'''Other Languages:''' Creator/AylaKabaca (Swedish), Valentina Stredini (Italian)
104	The Leader of the expedition, and Jaeger's teammate.
105	----
106	* AmbiguouslyGay: She appears to have these moments with Meridian, such as while the latter is repairing the ''Venture''.
107	* AmazonianBeauty: She is tall, muscular, and beautiful.
108	* DualWielding: Uses two machete knifes to fight off some of the creatures in the strange world.
109	* HeroAntagonist: [[spoiler:Becomes this when she assumes command of the ship in an attempt to continue the ''Venture's'' mission despite Searcher and Ethan's revelation concerning Pando's nature before being shown the light very quickly by the protagonists.]]
110	* ObliviouslyEvil: [[spoiler:She grabs the antagonist ball for 5 minutes and does questionable things like locking the Clades up to get them out of her way, but never harms them and has every reason to believe that she is in the right.]]
111	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: After the opening, it was mentioned that she became the leader of Avalonia. During the expedition she defuses an argument between Searcher and Jaeger by offering a compromise between their respective desires. Her supposed FaceHeelTurn only extends to continuing her mission that she believed would be best for Avalonia's survival; once shown evidence to the contrary she immediately changed her mind. Even in the opening, she supported Searcher's discovery of the Pando plant.
112	* StatuesqueStunner: Stands tall over every other character except for Jaeger.

130	* FreakyIsCool: He actually finds Splat pretty cute despite its odd appearance.
131	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Tells Searcher that he is a huge fan… of his father. He doesn’t seem to realize he unintentionally dismissed Searcher of his own accomplishments to Avalonia.
132	* PluckyComicRelief: He provides a lot of comic relief for this movie with his quirky personality.

143	* ForgottenFallenFriend: He is never mentioned again after he is eaten by one of the Reapers.
144	* GogglesDoNothing: Never gets a chance to use his goggles.
145	* SacrificialLamb: While his death is never acknowledged by the crew, his death still cements how risky the adventure into the Strange World will be, especially when facing the bizarre creatures.
146	* WeHardlyKnewYe: He gets eaten by one of the wyvern-like birds pretty early into the expedition, when the team is traveling down the mine after heading off.

153	* GoodIsNotNice: [[spoiler:They are antibodies that work together to tear apart any foreign threats to Avalonia’s immune system. However, they are vicious and relentless in their pursuit to rid the body of anything that doesn’t belong.]]
154	* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: [[spoiler:They are this, as they are simply a part of Avalonia's immune system who mistook the expedition for a threat.]]
155	* TentacledTerror: They have “mouths” that open up to reveal several large grabby tentacles.
156	* ZergRush: Aside from the one Searcher and Legend run into, all the Reapers work together in large groups.
