''(to Sangpo asking what the gargoyles are saying)'' "Listen with your ''heart'', Sangpo... if that doesn't work, I'll translate later."

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Cleverly played with, he looks as much like his father as Macbeth looked like his father, making it quite likely he is. At the same time all those traits can be found on his mother's side of the family, save for wavy hair that resembles Gillcomgain's. Not helping matters is that Macbeth and Gollecomgain are first cousins, meaning he probably exhibits features common to the Moray men.

* ImStandingRightHere: Demona's Second is visibly shocked when aged Demona muses, while gliding right beside him, that there's no one besides her capable of leading the gargoyles.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The reason his 'Children' obey isn't out of respect for traditional authority: it's because he can ''make'' them.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Oberon's morals are quite inhuman. He's extremely polite while in a good mood, but he'll nonchalantly murder people simply over what he sees as trespassing on his land. He gave his word about the Gargoyles being allowed to stay in Avalon if he could be defeated, and he kept it gracefully. But by his next appearance in "The Gathering," despite promising that his magic would not harm the Gargoyles, he has no problem finding loopholes in that agreement. Despite his claim about not compromising, he does compromise by the end of the episode. He also has an interesting definition of not being heartless; essentially telling Xanatos and Fox they have one whole hour with their new born son before coming to take him away forever.

* IGaveMyWord: {{Defied|Trope}}. He promises that his magic will not hurt the Gargoyles, but when he fights them next, [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem declares that "my decrees are MINE to interpret!"]] and [[LoopholeAbuse uses magic to impede them, just in ways that don't involve casting spells directly on them]].
* ImmortalImmaturity: WordOfGod has stated that he was actually relatively humble compared to many of his people before banishing them from Avalon. Of course, by the time of the series, many of them learned greater humility. Believing that he had no lessons to learn, Oberon had remained largely the same.[[invoked]]

* RememberedICouldFly: When he initially tried to attack Xanatos's tower, he became [[HairTriggerTemper enraged]] at the idea of them trying to keep him out (and succeeding with the help of a force field), causing him to [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever become gigantic]] and attempt to just smash through. It isn't helped by interference from the Gargoyles and Halcyon Renard. It seems as though he'll fail when Renard manages to surround him in an energy cage, until Oberon calms down enough to realize he's not using good judgement, and simply shrinks down to pass through the bars, conjures freezing rain to keep the Gargoyles and Renard's robots and airship off his back, and simply phases through the ground around the tower (bypassing the force field completely).

* CoolOldGuy: Dawa; from the sudden appearance of gargoyles in his monastery to a revivified cyborg being containing three souls in one body, he takes it all in stride.
* MartialPacifist: Dawa teaches his students archery, but strictly as a tool for focus and meditation; he scolds Sangpo for resorting to it so quickly for violence upon spotting the gargoyles.

The master of a Tibetan monastery who aids Coldstone during his self-exile, and one of his students.

* CoolOldGuy: Dawa; from the sudden appearance of gargoyles in his monastery to a revivified cyborg being containing three personalities in one body, he takes everything in stride.
* MartialPacifist: Dawa teaches his students archery, but strictly as a tool for focus and meditation; he scolds Sangpo for resorting to it so quickly upon spotting the gargoyles.

''(when Sangpo, who doesn't speak English, asks what the gargoyles are saying)'' "Listen with your ''heart'', Sangpo... if that doesn't work, I'll translate later."

* PreAssKickingOneLiner: Asks one of Taro's mooks where the gift shop is before punching him out.

* WhatTheHellHero: In the Dynamite Comics. She chews out both Elisa and Matt for [[spoiler:not revealing they had relations with the Gargoyles for a long time]], pointing out how unnecessary and damaging it was in the long-term. Elisa admits that she doesn't have any reasons or excuses let alone decent ones.

* BassoProfundo: Courtesy of Terrence Mann.

* WomenAreWiser: Though, bizarrely, Oberon claims she used to be a RoyalBrat, which is why he divorced her. WordOfGod says that she underwent a lot of CharacterDevelopment in their 1,001-year separation, while Oberon stayed more or less the same.[[invoked]]

* KilledOffForReal: Demona him and his wife while they've been turned into statues in "City of Stone." However, since they appear in later episodes, it seems this has been retconned.

* HeelFaceTurn: Brendan. In the animated series, he was portrayed as fearful and prejudiced against the Manhattan Clan alongside his wife. However, by the time of the SLG comics, it appears that he has wised up to the fact that the Manhattan Clan are actually benevolent and don’t mean any harm (especially in the wake of his horrible wife’s recruitment as an advisor for the Gargoyle Task Force) as he attends Xanatos’s Masque party dressed as a Gargoyle; and even rushes to get a doctor for Goliath when the latter was stabbed by Thailog. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in that he was never portrayed as “evil” and its still ambiguous just how much his view has changed.

* InformedFlaw: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] with Margot regarding Brendan. She quips that Brendan "need[s] to call a repairman to plug in the coffee maker", but considering her snobbery, her word should be taken with a grain of salt.
* KilledOffForReal: Demona smashes them while they've been turned into statues in "City of Stone." However, since they appear in later episodes, it seems this has been retconned.
* MythologyGag: Going forwards, versions of them (named Brenda and Marco) once appeared in a season 2 episode of another Disney action series, ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}''; Greg Weisman worked on that season.
