Characters from the various fables attributed to Aesop.

!''The Bear and the Fox''

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Likes to brag about how he would never scavenge from the dead.
%%* StrawHypocrite

!''The Fox and the Crow''

* CunningLikeAFox: He tricks the crow into dropping her cheese by asking her to sing.
* FoulFox: He steals the crow's cheese and deceives her.

!!The Crow
* InformedFlaw: The moral of her story is not to be vain, but she was actually singing on the fox's request and not out of vanity.
%%* UnwittingPawn


!''The Apes and the two Travellers''
!!The Travellers
%%* CannotTellALie: One of the travellers.
%%* ConsummateLiar: The other traveller.
%%* ProfessionalButtKisser: Quite possibly the lying traveller.
* WrongGenreSavvy: The traveller who tells the truth thought that if he told the truth, he will be rewarded much more than the liar. Turns out, it ended up getting him executed.

!!The Apes
* BerserkButton: Apparently, calling them apes will get you clawed to death.

!''The Tortoise and the Hare''
!!The Hare
* EpicFail: He loses a race to a ''tortoise''. Even better? He would have won by a long shot if he just kept going, instead of stopping to take a nap before the race was over. The only reason the tortoise was able to win [[IdiotBall was because of the hare's stupidity]].
* IdiotBall: His overconfidence in his superior speed causes him to fall asleep under a tree in the middle of their race instead of afterwards, believing this will change nothing. It doesn't go well for him.
* SmugSnake: His FatalFlaw. His overconfidence costs him the race.
* TemptingFate: He decides to take a nap under a tree before the race is over, arrogantly believing that the tortoise is too slow for this to affect anything. He learns how wrong he was when he wakes up.

!!The Tortoise
* {{Determinator}}: Despite the fact that he quickly got left behind in the race, he continues to go on. It paid off in the end.

!''The Frogs Who Desired a King''
!!The Frogs
* TooDumbToLive: They decide a stork will be their king, and he eats them.

!!The Stork
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: GenderInverted-- he is a male stork, who the frogs decide to make their King, but then he eats them.

!''The Frog and the Scorpion''
!!The Frog

!!The Scorpion
* TooDumbToLive: Despite initially being rational enough to conclude that if he stung the frog, the frog would be too weak to swim, leading to them both drowning, he stings him anyway because it's "in [his] nature".
