4!!El Santos
5-> '''Voiced by''': [[AuthorAvatar Jose Trinidad Camacho (aka Trino)]] (original animated shorts) and Daniel Gimenez Cacho (movie and promotional shorts)
6[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/santos_4127.jpg]]
7The [=titular=] hero... [[DesignatedHero if you can call him like that]]. A MaskedLuchador, he fights against Tetona Mendoza and many of his rivals and enemies, inside and outside the ring, including zombies, aliens, demons and many other scum, [[GoKartingWithBowser when the plot asks for it]].
8----
9* AuthorAvatar: For his creator, Trino.
10* DungFu: Used continuosly in the comics and also in the movie [[spoiler:when he tries to escape from prison from Maruca and her cronies. It didn't work]].
11%%* {{Fartillery}}: And [[ToiletHumor he goes beyond of that]].
12* {{Gonk}}: Seriously, he barely looks ''human'' and he resembles more like a fat monkey with a wrestler mask instead (in fact, one strip has him reveal at the end that he's not wearing a mask; his face really looks like that).
13* KavorkaMan: While mostly his relationship is with Tetona, he's also had his rounds with La Rata Maruca, a harem of mermaids, Las Poquianchis del Espacio (who, to be fair, bang anything that moves) and a brief marriage with La Kikis Cocuera.
14%%* '''{{Jerkass}}''': To the core.
15%%* MaskedLuchador
16* MrViceGuy: Not only he is a {{Jerkass}} with capital "J", he can indulge in any kind of vice, including getting drugged if the plot demands it for some laughs.
17%%* LazyBum: Sometimes
18* {{Parody}}: Of Wrestling/ElSanto or more exactly, of his non-wrestling ''persona'', since in RealLife, he had a really ''thick'' and exaggerated Mexico City accent in his voice, and he sounded like a hick. This was hidden is his movies, because [[SameLanguageDub his voice was dubbed by professional voice actors and he never used his real voice in-film]]. Ironically, both Trino in the original shorts and Daniel Gimenez in the film are from the state of Jalisco, and they use a notable Guadalajara accent in their voice.
19* RealMenWearPink: He absolutely ''loves'' playing with Franchise/{{Barbie}} dolls.
20%%* TheStoner: Just like [[AuthorAvatar his author]].
21
22----
23!!La Tetona Mendoza
24-> '''Voiced by''': Sara Valenzuela (original shorts), Regina Orozco (movie and promotional shorts)
25[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tetona_2131.jpg]]
26
27El Santos' former ([[GoKartingWithBowser When the plot asks for it]]) wife and rival. She's the only one who can kick his butt at daily basis and also the main villain in the animated movie.
28----
29* AuthorAvatar: Of her co-creator, Jis (who is male).
30* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:At the end of the film with El Santos]].
31* BigBad: In many stories from the comic book, and in the animated movie.
32%%* BrawnHilda
33* BuxomBeautyStandard: Her huge breasts are her most notable feature, and the only part of her that is considered attractive since she's a BrawnHilda otherwise. Heck, her name means ''Big-titted'' in Spanish.
34* FullFrontalAssault: Many times, in the comic books, she will fight ''naked'' against El Santos or anyone who stands in her way. And even when she's dressed, she still has her boobs hanging out, including when wearing ''a wedding dress''.
35* HighClassCallGirl: She's a prostitute and the owner of a brothel named ''Tetona's Palace''.
36* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Invoken sometimes in the comic books.
37* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:In the film: At the end, she is never punished for everything she did a as president, since El Santos marries her at the end. Though, as a consolation, she doesn't seem very pleased with the married life.]].
38* KavorkaMan: A RareFemaleExample: She's supposed to be a MsFanservice InUniverse, but outside of it, she's pretty disgusting and ugly. The fact she's a prostitute helps. Her looks can be a reference over the Mexican stereotype that many prostitutes are butt-ugly.
39* TheLadette: She's as vulgar, disgusting and loudier as the rest of the male characters
40* MeaningfulName: Her name is a composite name from two famous Mexican wrestlers: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Mendoza Ray Mendoza]] and ''La Tonina'' Jackson.
41* [NoBadassToHisValet: She's the only one who can face Santos face-to-face in a fight and win, not to mention being the only one whose Santos is ''really'' afraid.
42* NonActionBigBad: [[spoiler:Other than giving orders to her cronies and Peyote, and maybe punching Santos, she doesn't do too much to fight back at the end, since she was too drunk]].
43* TooHotForTV: There's a good reason why we can't show a full image of her, if her name already gives you a hint.
44%%* WildHair
45----
46!!El Peyote Asesino (The Killer Peyote)
47-> '''Voiced by''': Juan Romo (original shorts), José María Yazpik (movie and promotional shorts)
48[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peyote_3316.jpg]]
49
50He is (aside from Tetona) one of the biggest rivals El Santos ever had. An anthropomorphic ''peyote'' plant, he's El Santos' archrival and also Tetona's former lover (when the plot ask for it).
51----
52* AGodAmI: Downplayed and PlayedForLaughs in his [[AllThereInTheManual backstory]], as being a peyote plant, he's worshipped as a god by many Native Mexicans, but he never talks about the topic anywhere.
53* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He's a green, walking ''peyote (or mescaline)'' plant
54* {{Autocannibalism}}: He continuously eats parts of himself without ill-effects.
55* BerserkButton: In the film: [[spoiler:Don't call him a ''hillbilly'' and telling him his glasses are fake]].
56%%* CoolShades
57%%* TheDragon: [[spoiler:For Tetona in the film]].
58* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Becomes the main villain at the final stage of the film after Tetona was too drunk to fight back against El Santos]].
59* AFateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:After slipping on an avocado peel that Santos left on the ground, he crashes his back against the floor, breaking his spine and left quadraplegic for life]].
60%%* ManOfWealthAndTaste
61* TheMole: [[spoiler:He faked joining forces with Santos and both characters went to Sahuayo, Michoacan trying to find the Zombie virus for bringing back the Sahuayo Zombies back again, only for betraying Santos and Valdivia, bringing them to Tetona, and destroying the virus]].
62* {{Parody}}[=/=]MeaningfulName: He's named after another classic Mexican wrestler, ''El Medico Asesino'' (The Killer Doc)
63* SophisticatedAsHell: He's elegant, intelligent... and also as foul-mouthed like everyone else.
64%%* TheRival: of El Santos
65----
66!!Corporal Valdivia
67-> '''Voiced by''': Juan Romo (original shorts), Hector Jimenez (movie and promotional shorts)
68[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/santos2_1980.jpg]]
69El Santos' No.1 fan, and his biggest (and only friend). Valdivia is a cop who works in the same wrestling arena Santos fights and he's the one who always warns him when there's some kind of crime or problem around.
70----
71* AmbiguouslyGay: A running gag in the comic is that he seems to have romantic feelings for Santos. Though he's also seen engaging in sexual action with females, making him more AmbiguouslyBi.
72* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: In the film, he later reveals he's half-zombie]].
73* BadCopIncompetentCop: He's pretty useless as a cop, as he always asks help from El Santos for everything.
74%%* ButtMonkey
75* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: His name is rarely used outside of the movie. Most people just reffer to him as "Cabo" (Corporal).
76* MeaningfulName: Named after the former soccer player, Javier "El Cabo" Valdivia, (who played for Club Chivas Guadalajara) being ''El Cabo'' translated as ''The Corporal''.
77* MuggleBestFriend: He's the only character who is not a wrestler or fights in any way.
78* NiceGuy: He's the only person in both the comics and the movie who is not a jerk. [[spoiler:There's a good reason for that. He's half-zombie]].
79* UndyingLoyalty: Towards El Santos, a fact frequently mocked by everyone against him or El Santos.

83!!Los Zombis de Sahuayo (The Sahuayo Zombies)
84[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zombiesahua_7483.jpg]]
85
86The regular zombie mooks El Santos fights continuosly in the original comic books and also in the movie, albeit their role are expanded considerably in the film.
87----
88* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies
89* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler:Unfortunately for them, being a NiceGuy in ''El Santos'' universe is a symbol of being a nuisance]].
90* OurZombiesAreDifferent:[[spoiler: In the film, despise being zombies, they're ''much smarter and kinder'' than our heroes]].
91* RunningGag: When Christmas comes, they always, ''ALWAYS'' give socks as presents.

98----
99* AscendedExtra: From being bullied by El Santos in the comic books to being a big pain in El Santos' ass later on in the film.
100%%* TheBaroness: [[spoiler:In the film]].
101* BreastExpansion: She was [[ACupAngst flatter than a table]] in the comics, but in the film she gets a pair of bigger assets, due to Tetona being now her boss.
102* ButtMonkey: In the comic books, but NOT in the film.
103* {{Expy}}:
104** While Maruca preceds her by 20 years, she looks a bit like [[Franchise/TouhouProject Nazrin]], especially in the movie, except she's a {{Jerkass}}.
105** During the [[spoiler:{{Animesque}} sequences during the prison soccer match, she looks like Series/TopoGigio instead]].
106* TheFakeCutie: She's somewhat cute, but she's a bigger {{Jerkass}} like everyone in the comic book and the film.
107* PurpleProse: Parodied ''like hell'' in the comic books and in the promotional movie shorts: She speaks using a very rigid, formal version of the Mexican Spanish dialect, who is normally used in formal backgrounds, like law firms, companies, etc., but is '''NOT recommended''' to speak in RealLife in Mexico for everyday use, since it sounds extremely distant and borderline arrogant for everyone else there. She drops this in the film and she speaks normally like everyone else.
108----
109!!El Charro Negro (The Dark Charro)
110-> '''Voiced by''': [[Creator/CheechAndChong Cheech Marin]]

118* NarratorAllAlong: [[spoiler:At the end of the film, it turns out he's the one narrating his adventures all this time]].
