Recurring Characters

Master Chao

Voiced by: James Sie^{Foreign VAs}Sergio Lucchetti (Italian)

A monitor lizard and one of the xiaolin masters of the Sacred Onyx Council. He first appears to evaluate Shifu's qualifications as a master, and after Junjie manipulates Po, he removes Shifu and places Junjie in charge. Fortunately, he later arrived and overheard Junjie's machinations, and once the sinister fox was defeated, he re-installed Shifu as the master of the Jade Palace.

---

• Character Tic: Sticking his tongue out, as real life serpents are wont to do.
• Old Master: A bit younger than Shifu, but still kinda this.
• In the Back: A nonfatal version.
• Made of Iron: The only explanation as to how he survived several arrows being shot into his back.
• Mythology Gag: His design is based off of unused concept art of a monitor lizard character created for Kung Fu Panda.
• Not So Above It All: After Junjie and his cohorts are defeated, tied up and ready to be shipped off to prison, Junjie tries to curry favor with Chao in response. Chao then solemnly kicks them all down the stairs of the Jade Palace.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Chao at first seems to be defying this trope when he removes Shifu as master, but after all is said and done, he admits he learned something from Po and sets things right again.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Averted. He is a noble and soft-spoken monitor lizard.

Peng

Voiced by: Danny Cooksey^{Foreign VAs}Alessio Puccio (Italian)

A young snow leopard on a journey. After visiting the Valley of Peace during the Peace Jubilee, his kung-fu talents were discovered after he won a match against Temutai's nephew. He was immediately invited into the Jade Palace, quickly becoming popular and earning Po's jealousy. In an effort to drive him away, Po lied to Peng, only for him to become angry and attempt to defeat Temutai in order to prove himself. Po later revealed the truth and apologized, leading to Peng giving up and apologizing himself. In the end, he returned to his journey. He also reveals that he is the nephew of Tai Lung.

---

• The Ace: A kung fu natural, to everyone's amazement.
• Badass Adorable: So very much...
• The Bus Came Back:
  • In season 2, episode 8, to be exact. Only for him to leave for good at the end of the episode, fearing that if he stays, his inner darkness will take over and he'll become a second Tai Lung.
  • He comes back in Season 3 and leaves yet again. But this time, he's a lot more comfortable with learning kung fu and is off to open kung fu clubs around China.
• Cats Are Mean: Zig-zagged. He's friendly and kind at first, goes absolutely nuts when he thinks he's been rejected, and then cycles back around when the truth comes out. He was furious when he found out Po killed his uncle, then regretful when he found out Tai Lung was evil and Po had no choice. Then he got possessed by an evil amulet and nearly went Tai Lung on everyone until Po snapped him out of it, and then he decided he'd better leave for good.
• Continuity Snarl: Tai Lung was an orphaned Doorstop Baby who didn't have any contact or knowledge about his biological family, yet here's Peng who while wasn't aware about his uncle's crimes and death, seemed to know more or less about him, including his name who was given to him by Shifu. The only logical conclusion is that he had that informations from his family, which is weird considering they weren't a part of Tai Lung's life.
• Disproportionate Retribution: For all of Peng's traits as The Ace and generally being a really pleasant kid, one of the characteristics that he does share with Tai Lung is a lack of restraint when angered. Case in point, when Po convinced him that Shifu was unimpressed with his skills, Peng's best idea to get back in Shifu's good graces was to try to murder Temutai, who for once wasn't doing anything wrong or being villainous at all. There's also his reaction to finding out that Po was forced to kill his uncle; he comes at Po with no holds barred and ultimately knocks him off a cliff instead of making an effort to understand the whole situation, then sneaks into Po's bedroom to threaten him with a sword. Fortunately, this goes away some by the time he reappears in Season 3, having gone through enough Character Development to learn how to channel his aggression into something productive, but it's still there.
• Generation Xerox: Played with. Like Tai Lung, he appeared well-adjusted, only to explode with anger when he found he was being rejected by the Jade Palace. However, once the truth came out, he did the exact opposite of his uncle and stood down. Only time will tell if Peng's destiny is to follow in his uncle's footsteps. He seems to think it's inevitable if he ever trains any further, and leaves the Jade Palace for good after his second visit.
  • Ultimately averted as the episode Kung Fu Club has him embracing kung fu again and wanting to teach others while still maintaining a heroic attitude.
• Kid Hero: He is a pretty young leopard who is capable of some impressive kung-fu skills.
• Kung-Fu Kid: His first episode is even named this.
• Long-Lost Relative: To Tai Lung.
• Once a Season: Shows up in a single episode of each season.
• Panthera Awesome: A snow leopard like his uncle.
• Super-Strong Child: Without a doubt. We see him send Po flying, and hard, when he kicks him (twice), and Temutai clearly and visibly has to struggle to hold back a much smaller Peng. In his second appearance, this is his reason for leaving the Jade Palace for good. When an amulet possessed him and fed his anger over Tai Lung being evil, only Po was strong enough to stop him. Peng is terrified if next time, Po isn't around to do that, and gives up Kung Fu forever.

Constable Hu

Voiced by: Neil Ross^{Foreign VAs}Gerolamo Alchieri (Italian)

A strict elephant who upholds several laws in the Valley of Peace.

---

• Characterization Marches On: In his earlier appearances like "Present Tense" and "Shifu's Back", he's a much more helpful and friendly ally to Po who tries to be a Reasonable Authority Figure. But from "The Midnight Stranger" onwards, he becomes a much more unreasonable, pedantic, and high-strung character who isn't as friendly to Po and the Jade Palace anymore. One can only speculate as to what caused this drastic personality change in-between episodes.
• Depending on the Writer: He's inconsistently written as both a Reasonable Authority Figure who tries to be helpful to Po and an Obstructive Bureaucrat who tries to ban kung fu (even though his first appearance established him as being the exact opposite of this). However, even at his worst, he eventually comes around to seeing things Po's way.
• Honorable Elephant: Although he can sometimes be at odds with Po and the Furious Five, everything he does is under standard regulations of the law.
• In a Single Bound: Despite his size, the episode “The Midnight Stranger” shows he is capable of leaping several feet in the air before smashing Li-Dong into the ground.
• Inspector Javert: Though he is on the right side of the law, his very pedantic focus on rules often leaves him at odds with Po and the Jade Palace warriors. Especially in "The Midnight Stranger".
• Strong, but Unskilled: He's not formally trained in kung fu (and even wants to ban it in one episode) but as an elephant, he's so big and strong that he doesn't necessarily need it. In "The Break Up", Fung, who's not the best fighter but still decently skilled in his own right, tries to attack Hu but only bounces off of him ineffectively, with Hu's angry expression going unchanged during the whole scene.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: For whatever reason, he becomes a much more pedantic and high-strung Inspector Javert towards Po and the Jade Palace starting from "The Midnight Stranger" onwards until the series' conclusion, whereas in his first three appearances, he's the Reasonable Authority Figure who tries to be helpful to Po and is there to contrast the more stringent authority figures like Superintendant Woo. And in his final appearance in "The Break Up", he even goes so far as to arrest Mr. Ping, yank him down harshly with a chain, and orders his men to attack Po, even if Mr. Ping did submit himself willingly to protect Gah-ri. In the end, he didn't seem all that willing to hear any other side until Po and Fung take care of his guards and Gah-ri shows Hu the vase he thought was stolen was really a fake.

Master Yao

Voiced by: Paul Rugg

An old master who spends every moment in a box sedan chair pondering kung fu, he is a wise and eccentric figure who is capable of performing feats that seem to be magic such as flight and freezing time.

---

• Almighty Janitor: He is explicitly said to be one of the greatest Kung Fu sages of the series, and he has demonstrated supernatural abilities that are well over almost any personal skillset shown in the series. However, he prefers to spend time meditating.
• Blithe Spirit: When outside of the box, the guy is in constant awe towards the world and its wonders, and actively tries to instigate this view on the crusty Shifu.
• Cloudcuckoolander: He is clearly a bit off his rocker, although it is mostly explained by his long reclusion in his box away from the world. Then again, said reclusion was entirely voluntary, which still raises doubts about his mindset to begin with.
• Eccentric Mentor: Acts as this from time to time, having done so both for Po and Tigress.
• Enlightenment Superpowers: Has pretty distinctive supernatural powers which surpass other Kung Fu feats in the series thanks to his meditation and study.
• Go Mad from the Isolation: Downplayed example. He isn't insane, but he has spent so many years meditating in his box, isolated from the outside world, that when he is finally let out of his box he becomes hyper excited to experience absolutely anything, much different from the usual stoic and calm Kung Fu masters. When Shifu first witnesses this side of him himself, he tells Po that Master Yao "went mad".
• Heroic Self-Deprecation: According to his background, he was already a Kung Fu genius before his reclusion in the box. However, one day he realized his skills would make him a very harmful villain if he ever fell on the temptation to use them for wrong doing, so he entered his sixty years meditation in order to remove all the negative influences from his mind.
• Informed Flaw: Shifu fears for Yao's safety when he gets out of the box on the basis that he is currently a master of mental Kung Fu instead of physical one. However, this mental Kung Fu happens to allow Yao literally stop time and knock people out with his mind, among other powers not used by then, which would make him one of the strongest players in the series if he tried. At the end, all of this could be attributed in-universe to Shifu over-worrying about his idol, especially since Po lampshades that Yao wasn't even in any real danger afterwards.
• Loony Friends Improve Your Personality: He manages to get Shifu out of his withdrawn self, at least a bit, which is quite an achievement in the universe of the series. He similarly coerces Tigress to be a bit more open about her insecurities in "A Thousand and Twenty Questions".
• Not Used to Freedom: A voluntary example. Master Yao has been sealed inside a wooden box for over sixty years, and is extremely energetic and excited about the outside world when getting out for the first time.
• Old Master: One of the greatest of the art, according to Shifu.
• One-Man Army: He can knock out an army of guards with a single move, or without any physical move at all.
• Psychic Powers: He does kung fu with his mind!
• Sealed Good in a Can: Willingly. He enclosed himself in a meditation box to prevent anyone from gaining access to his powerful secret techniques and using them for evil.
• Supernatural Martial Arts: With the Five Mystic Kung Fu Secrets
  • Herd-Hitting Attack: The Yangtze Spleen Punch (not actually a punch) knocks out everyone in a 100 yard radius.
  • Flight: With the Wings of Light.
  • Shock and Awe: With Jian's Tempest.
  • Super-Strength: With the Iron Heart, he can increase his strength 1,000-fold.
  • Time Stands Still: With the Clap of Stillness.
• The Worf Effect: Suffers this in "Apocalypse Yao" to show how dangerous is Taotie's new mecha.
• The World Is Just Awesome: The lesson he comes to teach.
• Willfully Weak: Sure, he could raze any challenge that stands in his way with a snap of his fingers, but where would be the fun in that? So he only unleashes his power when push really comes to shove.

Main Villains

Ke-Pa

Voiced by: Alfred Molina^{Foreign VAs}Luca Biagini (Italian)

"All now bow down to me, your new Dragon Warrior!"

"This is just the beginning! Soon, we'll have all of China and then... the world. We'll wipe all mortals right off this planet!"

An ancient demon resembling a dragon who wreaked havoc on all of China until he was defeated and trapped in the guise of a pig.

---

• Big Bad: Of the one hour "Enter The Dragon" special, as he seeks to use Po to release his demon brethren.
• Character Death: Is obliterated by Po firing a massive blast of his Hero's Chi directly down his throat.
• Dragons Are Demonic: He looks like your typical Chinese dragon, but is actually an ancient, demonic being who seeks to rule over China with his fellow demons, who look more like shadowy entities.
• The Dreaded: Po is about the only one who wasn't afraid of him, and that's only because of Po's Suicidal Overconfidence at the time. Even Shifu is afraid of him because Oogway at his prime was almost defeated by him.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Subverted. Ke-Pa has made great lengths to go to the Jade Palace, break the seal covering the entrance to the Underworld and free his demon army, calling them his brethren and even his family. However, when Po erased 2 demons right in front of Ke-Pa's eyes, Ke-Pa orders the rest of the demons to swarm him despite witnessing the risk it poses on losing them right in front of his eyes, which can be said his breakdown in the end, which is for sure because Po sealed his army back, was only because Po undid everything he did for hundred's of years in a matter of few minutes and that all his hard work was for nothing, especially considering he tried killing both Oogway and Po despite knowing they harbour the Hero's Chi, the only thing that can free them, which proves Ke-Pa's twisted sense of family.
• Faux Affably Evil: It only serves to make him more menacing.
• Greater-Scope Villain: Perhaps of the entire franchise. The very reason the Jade Palace was built was to cover the seal to the Underworld so Oogway can prevent Ke-Pa from releasing his demon army, to which many events in the franchise would be different as Oogway wouldn't have found an abandoned Shifu and training him, and Shifu wouldn't find an abandoned Tai Lung and have trained him which lead to the latter's Start of Darkness, or even training Tigress which would lead to the founding of the Furious Five whose first battle made Po be in love of Kung Fu. All these have ties to the Jade Palace and it exists thanks to him, and Po wouldn't have been as good a Dragon Warrior without Ke-Pa's presence, or even on why Oogway was such a respected warrior that everone looks up to and the Greater-Scope Paragon considering he is one his earliest foes, or perhaps, the earliest.
• Hero Killer: There's very good reason that Shifu is so fearful of him since he was the only villain in the entire franchise that came close to killing Oogway in his prime. He manages to temporarily kill Po upon returning.
• Invincible Villain: Due to being a demon, at the time, the only thing Oogway could do was seal him in the body of a pig and trap the rest of his demon brethren with the Hero's Chi. This is subverted when he actually does die upon being blasted up the throat with Po's chi at the end of his feature episode.
• Knight of Cerebus: Manages to destroy the Jade Palace, burns half the village to the ground, and temporarily kills Po.
• Meaningful Name: Ke-Pa is Chinese for "terrifying". Which is befitting his status as The Dreaded.
• Omnicidal Maniac: His overall plan is to summon his demon army to bring forh the apocalypse and end all mortals across the planet.
• One-Winged Angel: When the peach tree dies, breaking his seal and setting him free as a gigantic Dragon.
• Our Demons Are Different: Is the king of the demons, but looks like a massive dragon.
• Outside-Context Problem: Before, all the foes Po had faced, even ones with mystical abilities like Fenghuang, were based on real life animals. As a dragon, Ke-Pa is the first mythic animal to appear in the franchise.
• Psychic Strangle: Uses his psychic abilities to choke Shifu at one point.
• Rank Scales with Asskicking: Is the leader of the Demons, and the most powerful. The guy is so powerful that he almost beat Oogway at his prime, and is about the only villain in the series that can claim that.
• Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: The peach tree's power trapped him inside the form of a pig, until it dies.
• Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: He mocks Shifu for calling him out for being evil and judging him for it.
  Ke-Pa: What? Nothing to say? No pithy wisdom? No lofty moral judgments?
  Shifu: What should happen, will.
  Ke-Pa: (sarcastically) ...Oh, I see. Zen-like acceptance, very master-y of you.
• This Cannot Be!: His reaction to Po managing to summon his Heroes Chi.
• Villainous Breakdown: When Po seals the demons back into their prison, he goes completely berserk.

Pang Bing

Voiced by: Amy Hill^{Foreign VAs}Paola Giannetti (Italian)

Centuries ago, this Siamese cat was part of a peaceful group of mystics who wished to share their magic with all of China in order to promote peace. However, the common people of the time feared their powers, and when Pang Bing and her colleagues appealed to the Emperor of the time for protection, he had them imprisoned. Pang Bing alone managed to escape while the rest of her group apparently perished, and swore revenge on all of China. She spent centuries perfecting dark magical arts that apparently enabled her to live far longer than should have been possible, all in preparation for her eventual conquest of China. She appears in the series finale, Emperors Rule.

---

• Big Bad: Of the two-part "Emperors Rule" finale, centered around her plan to brainwash China.
• Cats Are Mean: She is an antagonistic Siamese cat.
• Disproportionate Retribution: She wants revenge on all of China for persecuting her and her fellow mystics even though the current generation is more welcoming to magic thanks to Oogway and his teachings.
• Final Boss: She's the final major villain introduced in the Legends of Awesomeness series. Also, while not in production order, "Emperors Rule" was aired as the show's finale.
• Foil: She's Tai Lung's opposite in more than one way. Tai Lung was a male big cat while Pang Bing is a female Siamese housecat. Also, Tai Lung hated those he once considered his family in the Jade Palace like Shifu and sought vengeance on them while Pang Bing loved her fellow mystics and sought to avenge them. Tai Lung was also a powerful physical fighter and a One-Man Army who could fight and steamroll his way towards his goals whereas Pang Bing practiced the dark arts, relied on long term planning and royal court manipulation as part of her gameplan, and sent wave after wave of enemies after Po rather than fight him herself. Finally, while Po was forced to kill Tai Lung, Pang Bing survived her defeat and was arrested.
• Freudian Excuse: The way she and her mystics were treated in the past by people they tried to help or sought help from all but guaranteed she would become vengeful and twisted after she escaped and her companions died.
• Last Episode, New Character: She makes her only appearance in the show's Grand Finale.
• Last of Their Kind: By the time she's escaped, she's the only mystic left.
• Mind Control: One of her main powers. If she uses the sacrifice of royal blood, she can cast the spell at a country-wide scale.
• Really 700 Years Old: Thanks to dark magic, she's kept herself alive for hundreds of years.

The Brotherhood of Malfeasance

In General

A collection of Po's most infamous foes, recruited in the finale to stop Pang Bing.

---

• Big Bad Wannabe: The group's members are the most recurring villains of the show, and without any form of serialized story arc are left as the de facto main antagonists. However, compared to the villains from the films and specials they're not all that competent when it comes to harassing the Dragon Warrior.
• Conservation of Ninjutsu: Individually, they can give Po trouble in episodes where any one of them is the main villain of the story. But in "Emperor's Rule Part 2", they try attacking Po together, only for Po to defeat all of them quickly one after another.
• Enemy Mine: They agree to help Po stop Pang Bing from conquering China, seeing it as bad for their individual businesses as well.
• Friendly Enemy: Part because Po doesn't take them very seriously a lot of the time, but many of them are prone to time-outs in their feuds whenever they're not fighting, with Po even helping them out with some personal dilemma on occasion. Even during battles, the two sides are prone to a lot of casual banter.
• Laughably Evil: All of them are comedic opponents for Po that pepper the show's silly banter and slapstick. This often crosses them into Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain territory, though even during their goofier moments, they have times of being Not So Harmless Villains.
• Legion of Doom: An untrustworthy collection of the Jade Palace's Rogues Gallery, who sure enough try to get one last crack at killing Po once the main threat has been stopped.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: They are all comedic, often bumbling villains to varying degrees, though they each have token instances of laying the hurt on Po and the other Jade Palace warriors and showing they can be genuine menaces.
• Rogues Gallery: While they may not be as iconic as the movie villains, they certainly are the most recurring and colorful of Po's enemies that harass him time and time again in Legends of Awesomeness. And to this date, they still remain the closest thing Po has to a set of comic book supervillains who view him as their personal Arch-Enemy.

Fung

Voiced by: John DiMaggio^{Foreign VAs}Roberto Pedicini (Italian)

"Looks like we're gonna do this the hard way!"

Fung is the leader of a group of Crocodile Bandits. He most often relies on weapons to fight his opponents, but has been show to know some Kung Fu techniques, mostly in cases of defense. Fung appears regularly, sometimes leading his bandits, and other times serving as a lackey to another villain^note Such as Tong Fo or Evil!Po.

---

• Affably Evil: He may be a bandit leader, but he acts like a snarky, rebellious twenty-something with a California valley accent, and he even teams up with Po on occasions.
• Ambiguously Gay: For the same reason as Gah-ri in "The Break Up", but without most of Gah-ri's gay stereotypes.
• Arch-Enemy: To Po, seeing as how he's his most recurring enemy.
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Inverted. He's not just a bandit, he's also a son, a friend, owner of an herb garden... and amateur arsonist.
• Authority Equals Asskicking: He actually is a fairly competent warrior in his own right and the most skilled of the Croc Bandits as their leader. Unfortunately for him, it's not enough to keep him competitive with Po in any meaningful way.
• Catchphrase: See the quote above. He's also prone to "Daaaarn it!" when things don't go his way.
• Cloud Cuckoolander: He's certainly out there at times.
• The Dragon: Sometimes, he serves as Tong Fo's #1 lapdog.
• Even Evil Has Standards: He's occasionally gives up when he realizes someone's going to get seriously injured or killed through his direct/indirect doing, such when Jong Sung Jai Kai Chow was going to execute Po for his (unsuspecting) role in helping Fung kidnap his son.
• Final Boss: Deconstructed. He's not only the show's most recurring villain, but he's also the final enemy Po faces in terms of production order, albeit in a role reversal where Fung must convert an evil amnesiac Po to normal. In other words, Po is the proper Final Boss that Fung thwarts.
• Friendly Enemy: He and Po bond surprisingly often, and it's gotten to the point where rounding up his gang has become oddly casual. It helps that Fung is one of the least malevolent villains on the show and he shares Po's comically agreeable nature - he's even one of the few on a first name basis with the panda.
• Heel–Face Turn: Fung decides he's not an effective bandit and decides to quit and serve his time in prison after the events "Po The Croc". Notably this is the finale of the whole show in production order.
• I Am Not Weasel: He is playfully referred to by Po as a "moron alligator" in the episode, "Good Croc, Bad Croc", which causes Fung to sternly tell him that he's a crocodile, and even points out that his snout is "totally different" from a gator's.
• Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Po once defeated them using only his pinkies showing how non-existent their threat level is and the only reason they're bandits is because Fung's only other option is working for his verbally abusive father while the other crocs aren't really good at anything. When Po identifies the inmates of Chorh-Gom Prison and the great acts of villainy they performed, his description of Fung and Gah-ri is "Two guys who try really hard".
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Went back to save Po, even after using him to kidnap someone's son in order to hold him for ransom.
• Laughably Evil: He tries alot, but he's not able to do much outside of petty theft.
• Like Is, Like, a Comma: Tends to speak like this a lot.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Has this revelation in Po the Croc. As a result of Easy Amnesia, he manages to convince Po he's a bandit, but the Bandits start to feel guilty when Po shortly becomes ruthless and begins attacking those close to them. When Po almost beats Shifu to death, Fung snaps him out of it and decides to turn himself in.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: He's not a bad fighter as he's skilled in both armed and unarmed combat. He's just not on the par of the various Masters in the series.
• Recurring Character: One of the more reoccurring antagonists. If he's not with his gang, he's often with Gah-ri at his side.
• Surrounded by Idiots: He sometimes feels embarrassed by the incompetency of his lackeys.
• Straw Loser: He and the other Croc Bandits are so blundering and unthreatening that they make the other buffoonish members of the Brotherhood look menacing.
• "Well Done, Son" Guy: Fung used to work for his father, in an effort to please him by helping him make terracotta warriors. However, he kept messing up and once glued one to his father's face by accident. Fung would later leave and take up thievery as a living.

Gah-ri

Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore^{Foreign VAs}Riccardo Rossi (Italian)

A member of Fung's bandit gang, who would like to remind you that it's "Gah-ri", not "Gary."

---

• Ascended Extra: He gets a big part of the spotlight in "The Breakup".
• Ambiguously Gay: He fits some of the stereotypes, including his love of fabrics, interior design and romance novels. But the Homoerotic Subtext comes out strongest in the episode "The Break Up", where Fung and Gah-ri...yeah.
• Bring My Brown Pants: After being intimidated by Tigress.
• The Dragon: As much as he annoys Fung, he's usually the main croc to stay at his side when an episode has multiple villains working together.
• Good Cop/Bad Cop: Tried to play this role, only to end up disappointed when Fung told him Tigress was already wise to the idea.
• Harmless Villain: He only fights when he has to and even then he's not very good at it. When he briefly obtained the overpowered Clap of Stillness ability from Master Yao in "Apocalypse Yao", he uses it to briefly freeze Fung and leave without even trying to fight Po.
• Heel–Face Turn: He and the other Bandits quit and turn themselves in along with Fung at the end of "Po The Croc"
• Insufferable Genius: Constantly irritates Fung by correcting his errors.
• Laughably Evil: Even more than his boss.
• Minion with an F in Evil: Given his boss, Fung is pretty low on the malicious scale himself, Gah-ri barely even qualifies as a villain, or even a jerk most of the time.
• Nice Guy: Turns out to be this while working at Ping's noodle restaurant.
• Phrase Catcher: "DARN IT, GAH-RI!!!"
• Punny Name: His name is possibly a pun on gharial, a relative of the crocodile; he may in fact be one, as he has the narrower snout.

Temutai

Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson^{Foreign VAs}Mauro Magliozzi (Italian)

"TEMUTAAAAAAAI! Warrior king of the Qidan!"

The king of the Qidan Clan, a group of warrior water buffalo, whose people once waged war with Mei Li's kingdom, until an agreement was made to bring peace. Said agreement was that the emperor must turn over a princess to be his royal servant, in exchange for the Qidan not attacking. Mei Li was set to become his new servant, until Po defeated him in battle, earning her freedom.

Temutai appears regularly, usually as antagonist. One time he came to the Valley of Peace as part of a peace celebration, where he's amiable with Po and the others (though, with some hiccups along the way).

---

• Affably Evil: One of his guards hit Po while he was talking. Temutai told him that he should've let Po finish, but appreciates the guard's enthusiasm. When his army is about to fight Po and Shifu, Ping tells them kung fu fights are not allowed in his restaurant. They walk outside before fighting for real.
• The Brute: Despite rumors about his various kung-fu techniques that could allow him to "tear people in half without touching them", Temutai simply attacks with crushing blows and holds like a wrestler. A wrestler with massive, razor-sharp horns.
• Brutish Bulls: He is the ruler of a warrior clan of water buffalo.
• Characterization Marches On: He was a much darker and crueler character in his first appearance, where he was going to enslave and eventually work the little princess Mei Li to death. Subsequent appearances show Temutai having more humorous and slapstick qualities, with a few Pet the Dog moments that show he and Po can get on the same page.
• The Dreaded: Has such a reputation that even Tigress and Mantis are wary of him. Po, however, initially thinks that his supposed kung-fu technique of being able to tear someone in half without touching them would be cool... to watch.
• Evil Sounds Deep: Courtesy of Kevin Michael Richardson.
• Go-Karting with Bowser: In "The Kung Fu Kid", Temutai is invited to the Peace Jubilee. While there are hostilities and fights, he and Po do gush together about their liking of the olive branch crowns, he has a nice time at the evening feast alongside everyone (except Po), and ultimately things end well overall.
• Large and in Charge: He's easily twice the size of his guards.
• Large Ham / No Indoor Voice: Most of his lines are shouted at full volume.
• Mirror Character: From Po. Temutai's evil aside, he and Po have very similar personalities and interests. He also has difficulty getting up all the steps to the Jade Palace, and joins Po in gushing over the olive branch crowns they both wear for the peace ceremony, even wearing it at the same jaunty angle. He also apologizes just as abashedly when their fight almost ruins the Peace Festival.
• Papa Wolf: He is protective of his sons, Chulun and Bataar, which is shown in "Mouth Off" when he threatened war unless an apology was given to them.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: A bit of Fridge Brilliance in that he's a Bull Seeing Red.
• Suddenly Shouting: He has a habit of yelling the last word of his SENTENCES!
• Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: His first appearance brings up that his absolutely massive frame means that traditional martial arts are pretty useless against him. Technique can only compensate for so much, which is why fighting sports have weight-class. Po defeats him by yanking on his ears, which have no muscles for protection, to cause him to crash into things. Most of his defeats involve either the use of supernatural elements that massively increase the user's power, or things like paralytic gas. He's never been defeated by anything other that the most pragmatic of techniques.
• Ungrateful Bastard: Subverted. He's the only villain to thank Po for saving them from General Tsin in The Most Dangerous Po.
• Worf Had the Flu: Temutai attempts to justify his first loss to Po by claiming he had a head cold. He bungles his Bluff roll.

Taotie

Voiced by: Wallace Shawn^{Foreign VAs}Ambrogio Colombo (Italian)

"Well, I have news for you! Kung Fu is outdated and useless! With machinery comes power!"

A warthog who studied kung-fu under Master Oogway alongside Shifu. Unlike Shifu, Taotie was a poor student; no matter how hard he trained, he couldn't keep up with Shifu. Together, the two of them created the Jade Palace's training hall. However, Taotie was still unable to improve his kung-fu, so he turned to machines to make up for his weaknesses, only for him to be cast out after unveiling his invention when they told him it sullied the purity of king-fu. Years later, he would manipulate Po, who had accidentally wrecked the training room, into helping him sneak into the Jade Palace so he could create a new machine and take his revenge.

Taotie appears regularly, usually attempting to gain vengeance on Shifu and assert the dominance of machines over kung-fu.

---

• Always Someone Better: Part of his motivation; Shifu, in this case.
• Beware the Silly Ones: He's pretty Laughably Evil, but he's still managed to be a serious threat due to his intelligence.
• Brains Evil, Brawn Good: The way his resentment towards kung-fu can look from the outside. However, Taotie is usually defeated by being out-smarted and most of his machines rely on augmenting brute force anyway.
• Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Deconstructed. Taotie genuinely did try using his inventor skills for practical reasons at first, though his tendency to overcompensate and make dangerous weaponry got him rejected by the Jade Palace. In "Bosom Buddies", Po manages to convince him to use his gift for good again, and he does a solid job for a while, though eventually turns evil again out of pettiness.
• Evil Former Friend: He and Shifu were pretty close before Taotie was kicked out.
• Evil Is Petty: Often Played for Laughs, since Taotie's childish insecurities make him prone to grudges:
  • In his first appearance, he tricks Po into secretly letting him into the Jade Palace training hall to cover up damage the latter has done, and then turning it into a death weapon to use on Shifu and his students. Just to be a prick, he also makes sure to rat Po out so everyone can grill him first, even effectively Dope Slapping him for Shifu:
  Shifu: I'm really angry at you, panda. I can't even think of a punishment harsh enough for you. (Taotie presses a button to send a hammer to whack Po.)... That's good enough.
  • In "Bosom Buddies", Po gets him out of a nasty Villainous BSoD and convinces him to use his niche for good. Taotie shortly decides to turn on Po, however. Why? Because Po called him his "sidekick".
• Evil Laugh: Usually following talking about his Evil Plan
• Evil Plan: Demonstrating the superiority of machines over kung fun.
• Fat Bastard: He is a villainous chunky warthog.
• Friendly Enemy: Gradually as the series goes on. Initially, he only acts cordial to manipulate Po or the Five as part of a revenge scheme against Shifu. As Taotie becomes more pitiful as the show goes on, however, Po shows him sympathy, even if Taotie still tends to backstab Po in the end. His last big role, "Youth In Re-Volt", even has Po trying to consult him over his parenting of Bian Zao when they're stuck in an Enemy Mine against him.
• Full-Boar Action: A warthog who poses a serious threat when assisted by his machines.
• Gadgeteer Genius: He's a giftedly intelligent warthog who has built a lot of marvelous machines and even built the incredible training ground at the Jade Palace.
• Humongous Mecha: Created one during his backstory to make up for his lack of proficiency in kung-fu. Oogway and Shifu weren't all that thrilled about it. He manipulates Po into letting him turn the Training Hall into a new one.
• Inferiority Superiority Complex: Big time. It's implied his determination for trying to one-up kung fu masters through his machines stems from his failures of becoming good at kung fu. On a more dramatic note, it's implied this is why he would be kicked out of the Jade Palace (see Fridge Brilliance for more details)
• Insufferable Genius: Proud of his smarts.
• It's All About Me: Taotie wholeheartedly believes that he is the real hero of the story, and that once he stops the Jade Palace from bringing him down, the valley will celebrate him as a visionary and name him their hero instead of the kung fu masters. In his ego, he remains oblivious to the fact that the villagers all hate him for constantly putting them in danger, even though according to Bian Zao, they commonly do things like pelt him with garbage. In fact, he usually scoffs at the idea this actions might be illegal at all.
• Mad Scientist: Definitely, considering the evil laughs and hamming it up.
• Manipulative Bastard: Each time he's appeared, he's done some pretty successful manipulating.
• Meaningful Name: Named after the Chinese god of gluttony. Though in his case, he's not exactly a demonic, ravenous beast like the mythical Taotie, being more of a humorous bad guy who at best can give Po and company some trouble with his inventions but doesn't otherwise darken the show like his name would imply.
• Misplaced Wildlife: He's a warthog in China.
• The Nicknamer: Rather hilariously so in "Fluttering Finger Mindslip."
• Papa Wolf: While he usually has trouble connecting with his son, he does care for him. At the end of the episode "Youth in Re-Volt," after Bian Zao realizes Tong Fo was using him, he turns his back on him. When they're all in prison and Tong Fo goes to confront Bian Zao, Taotie steps in front and threatens him that of he touch one hair on his son's head, he's gonna devote the rest of his life to making him regret it. Tong Fo wisely backs off.
• Rival Turned Evil: A friendly rival turned into a bitter one, with the rivalry becoming one of martial arts vs machinery.
• Self-Serving Memory: Taotie claims that the Jade Palace cast him out because they couldn't stand his use of machinery rather than pure, traditional kung fu. Even as he says this, flashbacks show the real reason: his creations burning down the village while he was either oblivious or didn't care, after which a horrified Oogway and Shifu had to remove him - indicating that the problem was never his inventions and always his ruthless ambition in creating them.
• Weak, but Skilled: Sees himself as this as he tries to make up for his lack of kung fu strength with his skill in machinery, but it appears he was not that skilled either in it.

Tong Fo

Voiced by: Jeff Bennett^{Foreign VAs}Nanni Baldini (Italian)

"What a beautiful day... to be destroying the valley of peace!"

A loris incarcerated in Chorh-Gom Prison, who once attempted to destroy the Valley of Peace with the devastating Sacred War Hammer of Lei Lang, but switched it with a fake before being captured. In order to learn the location of the real hammer, Po went into the prison disguised as a criminal, only for Tong Fo use him to help him escape. Tong Fo was eventually stopped and recaptured.

---

• Ascended Extra: He made only two appearances in the first season while not appearing at all in the second. In the third season, he's brought back and makes a total of six appearances, becoming a much more prominent, recurring villain and a full-time member of Po's Rogues Gallery. If not for the third season bringing him back and giving him a bigger role as a bad guy, he likely would've vanished into obscurity with little fanfare like Scorpion or Jong Sung Jai Kai Chow.
• Bare-Fisted Monk: Played with. While technically almost everybody counts given that it is a series about kung fu, Tong Fo's long time quest for the Sacred War Hammer implies he would not be much of a threat without it, making him an inversion. However, this gets completely subverted whenever it is time for him to fight unarmed: he is still so good at kung fu without weapons that not even Shifu can defeat him without help.
• Big Eyes, Little Eyes: The "small with large eyes" variation, though they do more to make him look more unsettling than cute.
• The Bus Came Back: He appeared two times in the first season but went on a hiatus for the second season, only to finally come back as a recurring villain in the third season.
• Combat Pragmatist: When Shifu and Shirong together seem too much for him, he starts using his environment and their care for each other to his advantage, ultimately knocking the former out and pinning the latter.
• The Dreaded: Shifu was wary of what could Tong Fo achieve with the War Hammer, and later Shirong also gets intimidated by him.
• Death Glare: His enormous eyes are ideal for this look. He very often gives one to Fung when fed-up with his bumbling.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: In "Mind Over Manners", it is shown that he deeply respected his grandfather, Tong Lo.
• Expecting Someone Taller: When meeting him for the first time, Po looked around as if expecting someone much larger before finally looking down and noticing him.
• For the Evulz: Tong Fo doesn't seem to have any real motivation for wanting to destroy the Valley of Peace. This does not make him any less creepy.
• Mister Big: Just because he's small doesn't mean you should underestimate his evil potential.
• The Napoleon: He is a sinister, diabolical, criminal mastermind.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: Jeff Bennett voices him with an inflection that reminds one of Christopher Walken.
• No Brows: Tong Fo lacks eyebrows in his Season 3 appearances.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Though small, he is skilled enough to overpower both Shifu and Shirong teaming up against him, a feat practically unmatched in the series.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Gee, the complete maniac bent on destroying the Valley of Peace has red eyes. What a surprise.
• The Sociopath: His mannerisms, his voice, his admitted fondness for manipulating others, and his general lack of empathy or concern for the damage the hammer would cause give him shades of this, though he's naturally a Lighter and Softer version of this trope.
• Strong as They Need to Be:
  • He is generally dangerous and seems to be excel the most at fighting multiple opponents, but whether he's better than Po, gets taken out easily by Po, or is around the same kung fu level as Po will vary depending on which episode you watch.
  • He surprisingly backs down from bullying Bian Zao when Taotie goes Papa Wolf on him, as if the writers forgot that, given their respective levels of kung fu, Tong Fo should be able to kick Taotie's ass with his little finger despite being much smaller.
• Voluntary Shapeshifting: After stealing the Shift Stone Po was using to disguise himself.
• Weak, but Skilled: He's far from being the biggest or strongest villain in the series, but he's got the moves to really keep Po on his toes in a fight.

Hundun

Voiced by: Diedrich Bader^{Foreign VAs}Mario Cordova (Italian)

"My revenge will be like a poison river of molten iron that drips and burns like iron that has been melted and now drips... and burns."

One of the former guards of Chorh-Gom prison, who lost his job after it was shut down after Tai Lung's defeat, which caused him to lose his house, his family, two goat friends, and a pair of slippers. Po met him during the Dragon Warrior Day celebration, and attempted to get his life back on track by getting him a job, a place to stay, and by teaching him kung-fu in order to quell his rage. Unfortunately, once he learned Po's true identity, he attempted to kill him only to be defeated and ends up with his horn broken off. Ironically, his actions caused Chorh-Gom to be reopened... with himself as its first new inmate.

---

• Blatant Lies: Claims he was on the front lines of the rhinos facing down Tai Lung, when... he was actually standing way in the back.
• Breaking Speech: Gives one to Po when he gets the advantage in their fight, telling him that his heart is his real weakness. Po points out that at least he has a heart.
• Combat Pragmatist: He knows that one-on-one in a straight fight, members of the Jade Palace could probably defeat him, so he crafts numerous fake horns that function as various weapons and often teams up with other villains to give himself an advantage.
  Po: Do you really want to say you only beat me 'cause I'm hurt and exhausted?
  Hundun: I'm good with that.
• Create Your Own Villain: Both unknowingly and knowingly on Po's part; Hundun began to hate the Dragon Warrior for defeating Tai Lung, which put him out of the job as a guard at Tai Lung's prison, but Po trained him in Kung Fu to help him control his anger (while keeping his true identity a secret). Unfortunately, Hundun's vendetta remained. Hundun wanted to murder Po, and thanks to Po's training, is now capable of it.
• Department of Redundancy Department: A lot of his metaphors involve repeating the same words in vaguely different order.
• Dumb Muscle: Subverted. He's actually surprisingly competent and intelligent; his strange way of speaking just makes him seem dumb.
• Evil Plan: Motivated by revenge on the Dragon Warrior for his lost job.
• Genius Bruiser: He's actually surprisingly intelligent, homemaking a number of fake horns containing various weapons and picking his spot for when he could take revenge most effectively.
• Ignored Epiphany: Po helps him and bends over backward to help him get his life back on track, but he throws it back in his face at every turn.
• It's All About Me: He doesn't care about the damage Tai Lung would have done to the Valley of Peace, only that Po defeating him caused Hundun to lose his job.
• Lightning Bruiser: After Po trains him. Unfortunately, Po is a stronger one.
• Meaningful Name/Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Named for the Chinese god of chaos. Downplayed in that, while a credible threat after Po has trained him in kung fu, he is still pathetic and certainly not an embodiment of chaos or evil. However, in his return, he's far more competent and a legitimate threat.
• Metaphorgotten: Many of the comparisons he uses end up going into idiotically redundant territory.
• Purple Prose: Even discounting his throwing in redundant words, his speech is often flowery, complicated and needlessly poetic. Or as Po puts it:
  Po: "... you talk pretty."
• Rage Against the Mentor: After finding out Po is the Dragon Warrior.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: In "Rhino's Revenge", when Hundun is blaming the Dragon Warrior for his bad luck:
  Hundun: Your real weakness, Po is not the kick, it's your heart. It's as big and sappy as an old sappy plum tree filed with plum sap.
  Po: At least I have a heart. But all I've done is been kind! And all you've done is blame me for your rotten life! And guess what?! I love plum sap! How 'bout that?!
  • After Po defeats Hundun, he tells him "You know what your weakness is, Hundun? You stink at friendship."
• Rhino Rampage: A former rhino guard from Chorh-Gom who's gone on to be a full-time villain.
• Shaped Like Itself: His metaphors for how bad his life has gotten tend to enter this territory.
• Swiss-Army Appendage: Turns his severed horn into this by creating a large number of fake horns with various weapons hidden in them.
• Ungrateful Bastard: Po takes more time than he has to help Hundun pull his life back out of the dumps, but then what does he do once he realizes that Po is the guy who stopped Tai Lung from razing the entire valley? He takes Mr. Ping hostage to goad Po into fighting him, exploits the weaknesses of the Furious Five when Po brought them up as small talk, and then tries to kill the panda with his own bare hands.
• Unknown Rival: His vendetta is largely with Po, with him usually seeing the Furious Five as a mere hinderance, beating them easily in his first appearance. By "Forsaken and Furious" he straight up forgoes his usual rampage when he realises it will be against them rather than Po, much to their chagrin. Predictably this Underestimating Badassery earns him an asskicking when he finally acts out his scheme.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Subverted. After Po takes sympathy on him and decides to help him get back on his feet, he realizes that Hundun isn't really pitiful; he's just pathetic and a selfish jerk.

Secondary Villains

Bian Zao

Voiced by: Simon Helberg^{Foreign VAs}Daniele Raffaeli (Italian)

"Lame!"

Taotie's apathetic, slacker son, who effectively serves as his henchman. He doesn't seem to care much for his dad's work, despite Taotie saying he's "learning the family business." Bian Zao appears regularly with his father.

---

• The Bad Guy Wins: At the end of "Apocalypse Yao", all but one of Master Yao's secrets are recovered, except for the lightning power, which becomes Bian Zao's new superpower in "Youth in Re-Volt".
• Catchphrase: "Lame".
• Deadpan Snarker: Always snarking at his dad and calling most of his plans "lame".
• Emo Teen: He has shades of this, though he's really more just bored and apathetic.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: For all his apathy and snark towards his dad, he is extremely concerned when Taotie undergoes a gibbering Villainous BSoD in "Bosom Buddies", even resorting to begging Po to snap him out of it.
• Face–Heel Turn: He went from an indifferent teen to bonding with Po to stealing Master Yao's mystical kung fu secrets, keeping one for himself (the Jin Tian's Tempest, an ability to shoot lightning out of one's fingers) to using said secret to affiliate with Tong Fo and terrorize the Valley of Peace. He finally agrees to bond with his dad over trying to destroy Po.
• Follow in My Footsteps: Taotie says he's learning the family business. Bian Zao doesn't seem too thrilled about it.
• Misplaced Wildlife: He's a warthog in China.
• The Slacker: Taotie points out that he does not do much beyond what's he told. It does fit his apathetic nature.
• Villainous Friendship: Fung offers to let him in the Croc Bandits in "Youth In Re-Volt", believing they can bond over their insufferable dads. While Bian Zao approves, he is quickly snagged by Fung's boss, Tong Fo, who has more sinister intent for him.
• "Well Done, Son" Guy: Part of the reason he's always griping about things being "lame" is to cover his disappointment that his father is all consumed by revenge on the Jade Palace, and won't actually spend any quality time with him.

Jong Sung Jai Kai Chow

Voiced by: Wayne Knight^{Foreign VAs}Pasquale Anselmo (Italian)

Jong is a takin who rules over a land that does not abide trespassers. Fung tricked Po into helping him kidnap his son for ransom, and in response, Jong had Po arrested. Even when Fung returned his son and confessed, Jong was still going to hold them captive for their crime.

---

• Affably Evil: He allows Po to choose his method of torture in "Good Croc, Bad Croc", and in "Hall of Lame", he is surprised that Po is eager to meet him given their past, and when Po is in the cage, he makes a generous offer to exchange the life of Han Jr.'s father for the dagger in the doll:
  Jong: I'll tell you what, my friend, I'm in a generous mood, you give me the doll, I'll let the old man go.
  Han Jr.: Do it, Po.
  Po: No offense, kid, but I know this guy, not the best reputation when it comes to keeping promises.
  Jong: You have no choice, unless you want me to drop the cage, and what's in it, off the cliff.
  Po: No! Here, take it.
  ** After Po agrees to give Jong the dagger:
  Po: A deal's a deal. Now, set the kid's dad free and take the trophy... uh, weapon and go on your way.
  Jong: You're a man of your word, my friend... What's that like? Drop the cage!
• Cool and Unusual Punishment: Anyone caught trespassing on his land will have their heads boiled with cabbage and their ear lobes stretched around their heads. He chooses to employ more traditional methods on Po, however.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He's a ruthless criminal but he genuinely loves his son and will exact vengeance on anyone he thinks has harmed his child.
• Karma Houdini Warranty: In his first appearance, he gets away unscathed with trying to have Po killed. However, by his second appearance in "Hall of Lame", he's finally beaten up by Po for his crimes.
• The Mafia: His mode of dress, his Verbal Tic (and overall mode of speech), and his Cool and Unusual Punishment all suggest an ancient Chinese version of this. Possibly an attempt to reference the Tongs and Triads.
• Mythology Gag: His design is based off of unused concept art of a takin character created for Kung Fu Panda.
• Verbal Tic: Tends to refer to others as "My friend", even when they're not. Including his own son.

Scorpion

Voiced by: Lynn Milgrim^{Foreign VAs}Cristina Noci (Italian)

"This is going to sting a little bit — just kidding. It burns like fire!"

A former healer who was banished after discovering hypnotic elixir and attempting to take over the Valley of Peace with it after she accidentally injected herself with it.

---

• A Dog Named "Dog": In this case, a scorpion named Scorpion.
• All There in the Manual: Her real name, Qiong Qi, is listed only in this gallery of concept art.
• Ax-Crazy: Self-induced no less.
• Beware My Stinger Tail: She is a scorpion, and one with a strong knowledge of toxins.
• Body Horror: The scene showing her transformation into her present form is rather... unsettling in this regard.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: Her main tactic is injecting others with hypnotic venom and turning them on one another. Ironically, her Start of Darkness had her on the receiving end of this during a freak accident that caused her to sting herself.
• Collector of the Strange: She collects the skulls of anyone who trespasses into her valley.
• Demoted to Extra: She was a slightly more prominent villain in the first season, being the Starter Villain for Po and acting as a personal foe who tries to strike at Po through dating his dad. By the second season, she has a very minor one-time appearance as someone General Tsin has captured in "The Most Dangerous Po", receives only one mention in the "Enter The Dragon" two-parter, and never again has an episode where she gets to be the main villain. After that, she pretty much disappears from the series and doesn't get any appearances by the time of the third and final season.
• Face–Heel Turn: Scorpion was once a celebrated healer who helped the citizens of the valley until she injected herself with a hypnotic elixir, turning her evil.
• Faux Affably Evil: She seems quite polite and well mannered... and is a psychopathic murderer who collects the skulls of her victims.
• For the Evulz: Admits she does things in a more sadistic manner solely for her own entertainment.
• Master Poisoner: Scorpion was once the Valley of Peace's best healer, skilled with the expertise of using medical herbs and experimental flowers that grew in the Valley's rich soil as cures for various sicknesses, such as the use of sun orchards as the cure for river-fever. One day, she stumbled upon a hypnosis potion and injected herself with it, poisoning her body and mind. She uses her expertise with herbs to become the mistress of poisons and mind control drugs.
• Scary Scorpions: Averted at first, having once been a kind healer, but after she injected herself with her own venom, she has become a terrifying and sadistic individual.
• Soft-Spoken Sadist: Is quite polite in speech normally, but outright says she could just poison people to kill them and prefers more sadistic methods solely for her own entertainment.
• Starter Villain: The main antagonist of the first episode.
• Villain Over for Dinner: She's revealed to be dating Po's dad and makes her appearance before the two right in Mr. Ping's kitchen.

Fenghuang

Voiced by: Wendie Malick^{Foreign VAs}Beatrice Margiotti (Italian)

An owl who was once the most powerful member of the previous Furious Five, who consisted of Shifu, Elephant, Rooster, Snow Leopard, and herself. As Fenghuang grew stronger, she fell to evil, and attempted to wrest control over the Jade Palace from Oogway. Oogway defeated her and attempted to imprison her in an owl-shaped cage, only for her to flee. Years later, she encountered Po and learned Oogway had passed and returned to gain her vengeance on Shifu. She attempted to turn Po to her side, only for him to trick her and seal her in the owl-shaped cage. She was later taken to Chorh-Gom prison which she escaped from multiple times. A chance encounter with Po led to her gaining complete control of time and subsequently being banished to oblivion for disrupting the time stream.

---

• Affably Evil: Not only does she banter playfully, act coquettish and genuinely offer to help train Po but she saves his life even before she knows who he is or how he can help her.
• Attack Its Weak Point: Her talons are deadly, though in "Crane on a Wire" Po and the Five realise they are vulnerable to metal. Since Fenghuang made the mistake of ambushing them in the marketplace, they are able to weaponise nearby cutlery to neutralise them. She works round this in their second fight by arming herself with deadly steel talons.
• Back from the Dead: The realm of oblivion must have worse security than Chorh-Gom because in a later episode Fenghuang un-died with no explanation whatsoever, though it could be the events of that episode occurred before this or that Po destroyed the time seeds causing Fenghuang to never go back in time thus sparing her.
  • Which only makes sense; see Meaningful Name below.
• Blow You Away: The Thundering Wind Hammer, performed by spinning around for spin before releasing a shockwave of presumably concentrated air. It's strong enough that when Po used it, he sent Temutai clear out of the Jade Palace and into a sizable hole in a nearby mountain.
• Deadpan Snarker: Established in her first line.
  Po "You must be Fenghuang"
  Fenghuang "Yes, and you must be 300 pounds."
• Cardboard Prison: Her dialogue during her intial appearance in "Stitch in Time" implies that she has escaped and been recaptured enough by the Furious Five for everyone to treat her sudden appearance as completely normal.
• Character Death: After a final duel with Po atop the Tree of Time, Fenghuang is found unworthy and falls to her doom. She inexplicably returns in "The First Five" however. It's likely that Po altered the timeline causing Fenghuang to never go back in time at all.
• Evil Feels Good: Makes this claim to Po, and by her mannerisms, seems to fully embrace it.
• Evil Former Friend: Once part of the former Furious Five alongside Shifu.
• Fate Worse than Death: At the end of "A Stitch in Time," the Shuyong Tree, a sentient, mystical tree which has existed since before the beginning of time, banishes Fenghuang to the realm of oblivion, which exists outside of time, as punishment for abusing her time-manipulating powers, which she gained from the tree's seeds, and for attempting to steal one of the fruits of the tree, which would have given her mastery over time which she would then use to uncreate Shifu, Po, and the Furious Five. However, she was seen alive possibly that Po destroyed the seeds and thus she never went back in time.
• Feet-First Introduction: The first time Fenghuang appears in front of Po, the camera focuses on her foot as she lands in front of him followed by another close-up on her feet when she uses them to save Po's life when he accidentally fell off the mountain on their first meeting. It is somewhat subverted at the beginning of the episode, where Fenghuang is seen in a portrait, in a flashback sequence, and briefly flying in the sky before she lands in front of Po.
• Finishing Stomp: One of the new 5 Impossible Moves consist of Fenghuang slamming the ground with her feet and releasing a shockwave from the impact. She uses a more brutal variation against Shifu after slamming him into the ceiling and then stomping her feet into him in mid-fall all the way to the floor, amplifying the damage. The injuries that Shifu received from the attack caused him to die, forcing Po to travel back in time to save him.
• Foot Focus: The camera occasionally focuses on her feet for dramatic purposes. Somewhat justified, as owls use their talons to restrain their prey, one if Fenghuang's most used tactics in combat.
• Hazy-Feel Turn: Her final appearance ended on a hopeful but uncertain note where she destroyed the sword which contained the demon Xi'an and was freed by Po who decided she acted honorably enough to have earned her freedom. On the same note, she also tells the original and current Five along with Po that the next time they meet, all bets would be off, making it unclear if she genuinely had a change of heart and decided to make peace with the Jade Palace while putting up a tough front or if she was just flying off into the sunset with no intention of ever changing her ways and still wanted to menace the Jade Palace at some later date.
• Head Turned Backwards: Naturally, given she's an owl.
• High-Altitude Battle: In "Crane On A Wire", after she demolishes Po and the other Furious Five members, Crane engages her in a aerial combat, first by carrying Po to fight her, and then finishing the job himself after Po gets knocked out.
• Impending Doom P.O.V.: If Fenghuang starts flying and there is a close up on her feet, expect an imminent defeat on any opponent that is not Po, who is too heavy for Fenghuang to properly carry and injure.
• "Just Joking" Justification: In the episode "A Stitch in Time", she is frozen in place by the Shuyong Tree just before she could kill Po. Realizing too late that her declaration to become the master of all time has offended an actual god of time, Fenghuang attempts to pass off her horrendous crimes (and her selfish intentions for controlling time) as though it was all a simple, harmless joke. Predictably, this fails to mollify the Shuyong Tree, who condemns Fenghuang to oblivion.
• Knight of Cerebus: "A Stitch in Time" is her darkest appearance in the series. First she murders Shifu, then takes control of time and casually erases the Furious Five from existence while taunting Po with the inevitability of his destruction. Ultimately she is sentenced to an eternity in oblivion for her trouble, the darkest fate for a non-supernatural antagonist thus far.
• Meaningful Name: Fenghuang is taken from the legendary bird of the same name, which was the Chinese incarnation of the phoenix.
• One-Man Army: She can keep pace with Po, Shifu and the Five all at once. Almost all her fights require their combined forces or other pragmatic methods to defeat her. Only Crane has the honour of defeating her one-on-one, and even that was after a heated battle with Po.
• Razor Wings: She has blades on her wings that allow her to slice through rock.
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Unlike the Furious Five, who are beaten in one attack, Shifu requires multiple attacks from Fenghuang to be defeated, as shown in their one-on-one fights. The last time Fenghuang used one on Shifu resulted in a Finishing Stomp that injured him so badly and would have resulted in his death had Po not changed the timeline.
• Pet the Dog: Her final appearance "The First Five" has her team up with Po and the original Furious Five to recover the demon Xi'an's mystical sword. To Po and everyone's surprise, Fenghuang doesn't betray them and even chooses to destroy the sword when it is made apparent it is posessed by Xi'an's spirit. She is allowed to leave amicably, though vows this isn't a Heel–Face Turn.
• Playing with Fire: The Mongolian Fireball, performed through certain hand-motions that produce a fireball. It created an implosion (or at least when it contacts another Mongolian Fireball.)
• Secret Art: She's mastered all seven of the supposedly Impossible Moves.
  • She masters an additional 5 Impossible Moves that not even Shifu knew existed.
• The Social Darwinist: She does have a might makes right style, believing as the strongest, she should rule.
• Unexplained Recovery: It's never explained how she came back from oblivion when the Shuyong Tree sentenced her there by the time she reappears in "The First Five". Going by both episode numbering and production code, "The First Five" came after "A Stitch in Time" so chronologically, it was her final appearance.
• Verbal Tic: She tends to repeat words at the beginning of her sentences.
• Wake-Up Call Boss: She was the first foe in the television series to be more dangerous and threatening than the average villain. In her first appearance, she completely outclassed the Furious Five and Shifu, in addition to really giving Po a hard time. In the end, she wasn't even physically defeated but Po required a little bit of trickery and cleverness in order to capture her. While she is relatively less unstoppable afterwards, her reappearances nearly always signal an enduring fight for Po and the Five.
• With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: As the strongest member of the Furious Five of her generation, she became evil like her predecessors. Oogway anticipated this and made a cage just for her. She proved his suspicions right by giving him a good fight and escaping despite losing, becoming one of the most dangerous foes Po ever faced.

Master Junjie

Voiced by: Stephen Root^{Foreign VAs}Sergio Di Giulio (Italian)

One of the two xiaolin masters of the Sacred Onyx Council. He became resentful and jealous of Shifu after Oogway chose Shifu to be master of the Jade Palace instead of him. After arriving to evaluate Shifu's qualifications as Master, he manipulates Po into getting Shifu dishonored and removed from his position as master of the Jade Palace. Once in charge, he throws out Po and the Furious Five, putting his five leopard underlings in their position. However, Po became wise to his schemes, and eventually, he was defeated and thrown into Chorh-Gom prison with his five servants. His next appearance, presumably after escaping, shows him impersonating the ghost of Oogway in order to sow discord within the Jade Palace.

---

• Always Someone Better: Also to Shifu. An even more obsessive case than Taotie, to the point Junjie makes murdering Shifu second priority to stealing his Palace and immortalising defeating him at last in as many ways as possible.
• Brainy Specs: Sports diminutive glasses on his nose.
• The Caligula: Even to the supposed face of Oogway himself, Junjie will insist the Jade Palace is rightfully his as only he can maintain its purpose competently, despite pretty much any time he gets hold of it he just turns it into his personal evil lair with no interest in protecting the valley, or even much kung-fu training of any kind.
• Cunning Like a Fox: Well, he is a fox, and quite cunning.
• Evil Counterpart: To Shifu, both as a kung-fu master and in design. Also, he's a fox, to Shifu's red panda - a species of animal sometimes referred to as a firefox.
• Evil Former Friend: Shifu really is racking these up, isn't he?
• Evil Laugh: Of the almost chronic sort. Which he interrupts once to praise the garlic chow mein.
• Fallen Hero: Was a master of kung fu under Oogway and one of Shifu's old friends, but has now become a power hungry Manipulative Bastard and one of Shifu and Po's worst enemies.
• Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He wears small spectacles and is a recurring antagonist.
• Knight of Cerebus: Episodes where he's the antagonist have had a much darker tone and while not void of comical qualities, unlike most of the other recurring villains he isn't an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain. He's very cunning and on par with Shifu when it comes to martial arts.
• Manipulative Bastard: Arranged Po's marriage so that his bride's brother will be freed.
• Mythology Gag: Junjie not only resembles an unused design for a fox civilian from Kung Fu Panda 2, he also appears similar to one of the early designs for Shifu, including a pair of spectacles that were included in said design.
• Right Behind Me: Rants about his plan and calls Chao a "doddering old fool"... only for him to show up right behind him. Unlike most cases, Junjie had planned for his arrival however.
• Smug Snake: A ruthless Slime Ball who revels in being The Chessmaster. Whenever his plans fall apart or he is faced with a warrior of higher power however, he simpers pathetically.
• Tyrant Takes the Helm: Any time he gets close to succeeding, it is made apparent that Junjie wants the Palace mostly out of entitlement and wanting to one-up Shifu rather than any of the obligations connected with it. At least twice over when he managed to briefly take over the Jade Palace, he throws out its students, imprisoned Shifu, and started redecorating the Palace with monuments themed around besting him.
• Villain Team-Up: With Hundun in "Forsaken and Furious". It ends up Junjie's most buffoonish role however since, while they surprisingly get along for the most part, the Furious Five's falling out and Po's bungling ways to mend it makes scheming around them rather chaotic.
  Junjie: Okay....new new plan.
  Hundun: This is getting rather complicated.
• You Fool!: In "Ghost of Oogway", Junjie refers to Po as a fool when he reveals that he was Oogway’s ghost all along.

The Creepy Leopards

Voiced by: ???

A quintet of five snow leopards that serve Junjie. After Junjie takes over as Master of the Jade Palace, they replace Tigress and the others as the new Furious Five. However, they are ultimately defeated by the originals when they come to save Po and Shifu, and are later incarcerated with him in Chorh-Gom prison.

---

• Ambiguous Gender: One of them is a girl, though it's not clear which since they are visually identical.
• Cats Are Mean: Evil, even.
• Creepy Twins: Five identical, almost always silent snow leopards who fight in perfect synchronization.
• The Dragon: To Junjie.
• Expy: Of the Wu Sisters, complete with Wind and Fire Wheels.
• Fragile Speedster: They are very agile and strike fast, but they are not that strong.
• Foil: To the Furious Five. While the Furious Five are all different animal species, Junjie’s students are all leopards, and identical ones at that. Although the Furious Five take their duties seriously, they still interact with each other like a team of close friends. They also fight in a kung fu style unique to their species that utilizes the strengths that come with their differences. The leopards on the other hand rarely speak to each other or their master and fight in a pretty identical kung fu style.
• Informed Attribute: They are supposedly trained in five different kung fu styles, but their fighting styles onscreen look pretty generic and just as identical as the leopards themselves.
• The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Being Junjie's servants, he predictably has them do zero heroics for the Valley of Peace during their time as the replacement Furious Five. Their jobs mostly consist of being his personal bodyguards and making monuments centered around his superiority over Shifu.
• The Quiet One: Other than grunts during battle, only one or two have ever spoken.
• Samus Is a Girl: It's said that one of them is a girl, but this is impossible to tell from looking at them, as they share the same character design. However, judging for her higher-pitched grunts, the female leopard is apparently the one who fights Monkey, averting the Designated Girl Fight. This can vary depending on the dub.

Mei Ling the Rogue

Voiced by: Susanne Blakeslee^{Foreign VAs}Loredana Nicosia (Italian)

A kind, yet crafty fox who used to date Shifu years ago. However, when Shifu learned she used her kung fu skills to steal, he broke up with her.

---

• Affably Evil: She's Cunning Like a Fox and a bit flirtatious when it comes to Shifu, even though they know their relationship can never be due to their different moral alignments. She planned to steal the crown to save Shifu's reputation, even going to jail after Junjie blackmailed her into stealing the crown in "Crazy Little Ling Called Love".
• Cunning Like a Fox:
  • In "Shifu's Ex", she used the Zhou Deng Soul Gem to switch bodies with Shifu to tarnish the reputation of Po and the Furious Five, forcing Shifu to reunite with her.
  • Inverted in "Crazy Little Ling Called Love", when she attacks Shifu and the Furious Five, she reveals that Master Junjie would spare her life for stealing his sword if she agreed to do a favor for him; she planned to steal the crown herself to save Shifu's reputation.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: The reason Shifu broke up with her was because she used her kung fu skills to steal than to help others, and she couldn't comprehend why he'd do such a thing, believing that Shifu wronged her because he cared about kung fu more than he did about her.
• Femme Fatale: Her entire motif is using her seductive ability to get her victims to drop their guard, something she does with her ex, Shifu, to conduct her newest Evil Plan.
• "Freaky Friday" Flip: How she tries to steal the Imperial Jewels by using the Five and Po.
• Heel–Face Turn: In her last appearance, she finally makes up with Shifu and decides to peacefully atone for her crimes.
• Interspecies Romance: With Shifu.
• Love at First Punch: How she and Shifu began their relationship.
• Star-Crossed Lovers: Shifu is an honor-bound master and Mei Ling is a crafty and ambitious thief. Both are attracted to the other despite their differences.

Li-Dong

Voiced by: Jim Cummings^{Foreign VAs}Nino Prester (Italian)

Fung's formerly little cousin who grew into a titanic powerhouse far more dangerous than any of the other crocodile bandits. Huge, resistant to all blows and really, really strong, Li-Dong is consistently a powerful threat to the Jade Palace.

---

• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Has a gigantic battle with Mantis after drinking Gong Tao potion.
• Diminishing Villain Threat: Seems to have been introduced to avert this - the episode he debuts in has the Crocodile Bandits totally hit rock bottom in terms of threat level, only for him to show up and make more of a threat than they ever were before.
• Dragon Ascendant: Though he always initially appears as a thug in the employ of someone else, he invariably ends up becoming the main threat of the episode in some way or another.
• Dumb Muscle: Generally seems this way, but is actually smarter than he appears. He may not be as intelligent as Fung is, but he's a great deal more competent - especially when it comes to being a criminal.
• Evil Is Bigger: Absolutely humongous. He makes Po seem short.
• Eviler than Thou: To Fung, though despite this he's perfectly willing to let his cousin call the shots most of the time.
• Simpleton Voice: Though don't let it fool you - he's smarter than he sounds.
• Unskilled, but Strong: He's such a threat physically that he barely needs to do anything but tank hits and swipe at his opponents to win - he can pull off some fancy moves, but usually he just overpowers everything through sheer force.
• Would Hurt a Child: Upon losing his opportunity to ransom a kidnapped child, he attempts to throw the kid off of a cliff in sheer spite before Tigress manages to stop him.

General Tsin

Voiced by: R. Lee Ermey^{Foreign VAs}Saverio Moriones (Italian)

General Tsin was a renowned war hero who dedicated his life to battling the force of evil. However, upon eliminating most villianous threats, Tsin was forced into retirement. Over the years, Tsin slipped into insanity and became a Knight Templar who's efforts to keep China safe have made him into just as much of a threat himself.

---

• Affably Evil: He's cheerful, friendly, and respectful towards Po, but he's still a dangerously unbalanced Knight Templar.
• Anti-Villain: He's not evil so much as he's insane, and he always has good intentions.
• Heel–Face Turn: He ultimately reforms and becomes a hero once again, although his insanity result in him still accidentally causing trouble.

One-Shot Characters

Mei Li

Voiced by: Kari Wahlgren^{Foreign VAs}Stefanella Marrama (Italian)

"You think I don't know nobody likes me? You saw them pretend to, but... it's just because I'm a princess."

The daughter of the emperor, who was sent on a mission of peace to the kingdom of Qidan. Though she proved to be an insufferable brat at first, Po eventually got through to her and the two became friends. Eventually, it was revealed that she was to be offered to the Qi Dan as a servant to the Qidan's king, Temutai, in exchange for peace, but Po challenged him and successfully earned Mei Li's freedom.

---

• Bratty Half-Pint: Throughout her introduction episode, until Po helps her turn around.
• Defrosting Ice Queen: Starts off as a Royal Brat who is mean to everyone, but warms up to Po later on and becomes nicer.
• Messy Pig: Averted. She makes sure to keep her crown clean and generally acts lady-like and refined... aside from being a total brat, that is.
• Lonely Rich Kid: Stated to be the reason why she's such a brat at first.
• Macguffin Girl: She is to be offered as a servant to Temutai.
• Off with His Head!: One of her many threats before her turn around, though, much like a certain queen, she never actually puts it into action.
  "I'll have you beheaded! I'll have you all beheaded! I'll make you behead yourselves!"
• One-Shot Character: Makes her only appearance in “The Princess and the Po”.
• Riches to Rags: Narrowly averted, but her fate would have been this, and worse still, if she had become Temutai's slave.
• Spoiled Brat: Just as with previous tropes, temporary.
• Tiny Tyrannical Girl: She may be the size of Po's head, but she is a real piece of work...

Song

Voiced by: Lauren Tom^{Foreign VAs}Valentina Mari (Italian)

A member of the "Ladies of the Shade", a dancing troupe of snow leopards which is in actuality a group of clever thieves. When their leader, Su, decides to trick Po into inviting them into the Jade Palace so that she can steal the Dragon Chalice, she chooses Song to worm her way into the Dragon Warrior's good graces to accomplish this task. However, things don't go quite as Su had planned... even though they do get away with the chalice, when Po goes to recover it Song ends up changing sides and helping him escape. After Su is captured and sent to prison, Song takes over the Ladies of the Shade and will be helping them all reform.

---

• Back-to-Back Badasses: Happens accidentally between her and Po during the Ladies' theft of the Dragon Chalice and again in the Ladies' village after she changes sides and helps Po escape.
• Becoming the Mask: The longer she's around Po and finds out what a friendly, cute, innocent fellow he is, the harder it becomes for Song to lie to and trick him.
• Expy: Like the rest of the ladies, her character model is based off of the Wu Sisters.
• Girl of the Week: She's the love interest to Po for a single episode and never makes another appearance in the series after that.
• Guilt-Ridden Accomplice: Though her friendship with Po becomes genuine, she still helps Su steal the Dragon Chalice, even apologising to Po as they escape. When Po comes to get it back and is confronted by the other Ladies, Song defects and helps him.
• Heel–Face Turn: She ultimately defects after Po wins her over. She intends to do the same for the rest of the Ladies after Su is arrested.
• Improbable Weapon User: A parasol.
• Ship Tease: With Po.
• Sickeningly Sweethearts: Downplayed, since her relationship with Po is genuinely sweet, but some of her exchanges with Po, particularly the "heart" drawing, could come across this way. (The infamous Spaghetti Kiss lampshades this.)
• Temporary Love Interest: Song does develop genuine feelings for Po and the two of them get along quite well. Their relationship doesn’t get to develop further though because she only gets to appear in “Ladies of the Shade”.

Jing Mei

Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson

Temutai's nephew, who he brought to the Peace Ceremony in order to participate in the children's kung-fu matches. He ended up losing to Peng. Has a sister, who is apparently much better at kung fu than he is.

---

• Dirty Coward: Runs away instead of helping his uncle in his fight with Peng.
• Generation Xerox: Shares a voice actor with his uncle, and is as bright (read, not at all).
• Improbable Age: Just look at him. Not only is Jing Mei the size of a small car, he's already sprouted facial hair.
• The Unfavorite: Temutai really doesn't care much for him.
• The Unseen: His sister, who's both larger and more skilled in kung fu than Jing Mei.

Hao Ming

Voiced by: April Hong^{Foreign VAs}Jolanda Granato (Italian)

Mantis's ex-fiance, who only took him back after he (falsely) claimed to be the Dragon Warrior. They were set to be married (again), when Mantis admitted the truth, and realized that Hao didn't deserve him.

---

• Gold Digger: Only wanted to get back together with Mantis in order to enjoy the prestige of being the Dragon Warrior's wife.
• Mythology Gag: She might be based off a scrapped character in Kung Fu Panda 2, where Mantis would meet a female mantis in a fight club arena that scared him because she could potentially eat his head. It’s a good thing Mantis decided not to stay with Hao Ming.
• Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Has a bust-line, long eyelashes, eye shadow, and lipstick.

Dosu

Voiced by: David Koechner^{Foreign VAs}Roberto Stocchi (Italian)

Hao's ex-boyfriend, who she dumped two hours before getting back together with Mantis. Dosu attempted to fight Mantis and get her back, only for Hao to continue to show disinterest in him.

---

• Did Not Get the Girl: Despite his attempts to win Hao back.
• Law of Chromatic Superiority: Averted, he's no better than Mantis and ends up no better off.
• Palette Swap: Other than being red-orange and different colored markings (and lack of one one on his abdomen), he looks just like Mantis.
• One-Shot Character: He never appears again after “Hometown Hero”.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Like Mantis, he is far stronger than his size would lead one to believe.
• Sidekick: Has one named Sai So, who provides whistling accompanyment for Dosu's entrances.

Fu-xi

Voiced by: Dwight Schultz^{Foreign VAs}Massimo Giuliani (Italian)

A once noble and brave cobra who defended the land from evil-doers. He later turned renegade when he and his clan were betrayed and persecuted by others out of paranoia and hatred.

---

• Affably Evil: Hatred towards non-snakes aside, Fu-xi was willing to defend Viper from a group of paranoid villagers and treats her like how a teacher treats a promising student when she pretends to join his side, even calling her "Little Sister". He even wished for her to rule the world by his side.
• Dragon Ancestry: According to Viper, Fu-xi was a descendant of the dragon gods.
• Emotion Bomb: Was planning to use his fear-inducing venom, already enhanced with Mu-tong root to make the effects permanent, to plunge the valley into madness and chaos by pouring it into the water supply.
• Emotion Control: His venom fills his victims with temporary mind-numbing fear.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: The main catalyst for his Face–Heel Turn.
• Face–Heel Turn: Turned renegade after his kind were betrayed by the "Two-leggers".
• Fallen Hero: Fu-xi was once a brave and noble hero who famously defended China from evil-doers, but after bing betrayed and persecuted by those he protected, he tragically snapped and turned evil himself.
• Fantastic Racism: Has a violent hatred towards all "Two-leggers" as a result of him and his family being persecuted by the same people they swore to protect out of fear of their abilities.
• Freudian Excuse: Viciously racist towards all "Two-leggers" due to discrimination and hatred towards him and his kind after bravely defending China.
• Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Doubly subverted. Fu-xi was once a brave and noble warrior who defended China against all threats. However, when he and his kind were hunted down and killed by those they swore to protect out of fear, he develops a violent hatred towards all two-legged oppressors and believes the only way to defend snakes from further violence is by infecting the valley with his fear-induced venom and plunge it into chaos so that he and his kind can take control and rule China.
• Roaring Rampageof Revenge: Wants to plunge China into permanent fear and madness in retaliation for persecution by "Two-leggers" against snakes.
• Then Let Me Be Evil: After being betrayed after defending China, he became hateful towards all "Two-leggers."
• Tragic Villain: In a sense; Fu-xi takes pleasure in hurting those who've hurt him, but he genuinely wants to help his fellow snakes and who would never have become the way he is if he wasn't betrayed by the very people he protected.
• Visionary Villain: Wants to restore justice, freedom and peace throughout the land for all snake kind by driving all non-snake kind insane with fear.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: He genuinely cares for his fellow snakes and wants to help them, albeit through a very horrifying method; by driving all non-snake kind insane with fear.

Mugan

Voiced by: April Winchell^{Foreign VAs}Giò Giò Rapattoni (Italian)

"You belong to me now, and like the others before you, I will break you! Break you!"

A goldfish as well as a strict Kung Fu Master who temporarily tutored Tigress in the episode "A Tigress Tale".

---

• Control Freak: Is absolutely under the belief that Kung Fu must always be done with the greatest precision.
• The Dog Bites Back: After suffering years of abuse with nothing to repay for his efforts but to be another one of her servants, Mugan's previous student Wu Yong finally stands up to his Kung Fu Master by knocking down the pillars holding the water bowls she uses to gain an edge against Tigress and Po. After being contained, he finally gains the courage to call her a big jerk in her face.
• Dude, Where's My Respect?: Not from her but towards those she trains. Due to her obsession with discipline, she rarely (if ever) offers any compliments, praise, or positive critique. When Tigress demonstrated her Kung Fu for her, she calls her a powerful warrior. When Tigress was about to thank her for the acknowledgement of her abilities, Mugan quickly tells her that is was not a compliment. No matter how hard Tigress trained, she could never impress her. Most of her comments was for her students to push even further towards perfection until they are "broken" (as what happened to her other student, Wu Yong).
• Killer Rabbit: This franchise features some innocuous animals as deadly kung fu masters, but the goldfish in a bowl has to take the cake. What can a goldfish do out of water? Oh, merely slice people to pieces with her fins, that's what. And she also happens to be an unbelievably strict Kung Fu Master that trains those under her tutelage until they're broken.
• Lack of Empathy: Forced her previous student, Wu Yong, to focus on nothing but Kung Fu until his body broke under the strain (even during the training montage that focused up to that point she still continued to wear her signature haughty frown). She even has her servants carry the water tank she inhabited away from his broken body, completely indifferent to his plight. Afterward, he becomes another one of her servants.
• More Hateable Minor Villain: Mugan is a One-Shot Character who is not technically a villain or the biggest threat to China, but she is easily shown to be one of the cruelest characters in the show. Throughout a A Tigress Tale, she forces Tigress to focus on nothing but training and intends to break her if it means achieving absolute perfection. As her previous student Wu Yong made clear, she will never be satisfied with the feats of her students because she wants to see them achieve the impossible, no matter the toll it takes on their physical or mental conditions.
• One-Shot Character: She only shows up in "A Tigress Tale".
• The Perfectionist: Absolutely obsessed with discipline in Kung Fu, to the point that she will not even offer one bit of praise or encouragement to her students under her tutelage no matter how hard they train to please her (which is never).
• Sadist Teacher: Strongly implied to be another reason why she is so harsh towards her students. When Tigress learns just how abusive a master she is from her previous student and tries to leave, Mugan locks her up in her training quarters and threatens right in her face that she will break her.
• Shadow Archetype: Could be seen as one to Shifu. You know how Shifu is a real jerk to Po (and to a lesser extent the Furious Five) in the first movie? Mugan is way worse. She is what Shifu could have become had he not come to realize that teaching is not all about breaking your students.
• The Svengali: Treats the students she tutors as possessions whose spirits and body need to be broken, not even having the decency to acknowledge or praise them when they try their hardest to meet her expectations.
• Training from Hell: Made her previous student train under her for years until he injured his leg trying to do pushups while carrying her on his back, leaving him too crippled to ever do any Kung Fu again.
• Villain with Good Publicity: She is a famed and well regarded Kung Fu Master, in spite of also being an unhinged Sadist Teacher whose students are all intentionally worked until they are broken mentally and physically.

Shirong

Voiced by: Malcolm McDowell^{Foreign VAs}Dario Penne (Italian)

Shifu's estranged father and a skilled thief. Years ago, he took his son to the Jade Palace and told him to wait for him there while he went out. However, he never returned and Shifu was taken in by Oogway. Centuries later, he returned in search of his son and money.

---

• Accents Aren't Hereditary: Shirong speaks with a faint British accent which Shifu lacks.
• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Even though he held things against his father, Shifu still went out to rescue him. Same with his father. Despite his questionable morals, he has enough love in his heart to rescue his son.
• Con Man: He has been known for his swindling every now and then, trading a "golden" sword which was made of wood for food and supplies.
• Delusions of Eloquence: Shifu calls him out on his habit of making up long words.
• Disappeared Dad: As mentioned before, he left his son to find some treasure. However, he reveals that he left him there on purpose because he wanted what was best for his son.
• Long-Lost Uncle Aesop: Shifu is none too happy about his father deserting him at the Jade Palace and not returning for a long time, recognizing him as nothing more than a swindler and a thief with Delusions of Eloquence, until Po finds a gold locket in Shirong's guest room, with Po and Tigress going out to rescue him from Tong Fo, only to find that Shifu had a change of heart and decided to rescue him in spite of his shady past. At the end, Shirong's decision to leave Shifu at the Jade Palace turned out to be all for the best in the long run, since it provided Shifu with a better home than Shirong could ever have given him.
• Neologizer: He constantly makes up words, "infantisular" (contextually seeming to mean "trivial") being a favourite, another thing that annoys Shifu.
  "Do you have any idea how confused I was as a child?!"
• One-Shot Character: He exclusively appears in “Father Crime”.
• White-and-Grey Morality: He knows what is right and wrong and he will do either to get what he wants. He will use one of his son's students to get money, but he won't sell out his own son.

Kozu Kira

Voiced by: Tohoru Masamoto^{Foreign VAs}Carlo Scipioni (Italian)

A renegade samurai clam from Japan who sought to take over the nation. He comes to China in order to build an army with stolen gold in the episode "The Way of the Prawn".

---

• Everythings Betterwith Samurai: Even if they are invertebrate samurai.
• Hammerspace: The only way he can pull gold coins and a katana several times longer than himself from his shell.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Strong enough to grab Po with his siphon and throw him overhead.
• Pressure Point: He hits a kyusho or pressure point on Po's stomach to incapacitate him.
• Rōnin: Was expelled from his clan.
• Shout-Out Theme Naming: His name is one to Kira Kozuke-no-suke, the villain of The 47 Ronin.

Yijiro

Voiced by: Matthew Moy^{Foreign VAs}Marco Mete (Italian)

A samurai prawn from Japan's Ishida clan, who comes to China to hunt down Kira.

---

• Disney Death: Just apparently.
• Everythings Betterwith Samurai: He is a noble samurai in the form of a prawn.
• Katanas Are Just Better: Carries a katana roughly his size in his obi.
• Martial Arts Headband: Sports one when training Po and Tigress.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He is a prawn, but has enough strength to hammerlock and pin down a panda.
• Ship Tease: With Tigress. Yes, Tigress.
• Single-Stroke Battle: At the end, he defeats Kira in their swordfight when he neatly slices his shell ligament apart with a single slash.

Madame Zhou

Voiced by: Gaille Heidemann^{Foreign VAs}Ughetta d'Onorascenzo (Italian)

A wealthy gazelle whom the Jade Palace asks to help end a famine.

---

• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She acts like a nice and well-meaning person, but is actually a con artist willing to work with bandits and cause a famine just to make money.
• Chain Pain: She can use one when fighting. She used to be called "Master of the Iron Whip."

Ju-Long

Voiced by: Paul Reubens^{Foreign VAs}Francesco Pezzulli (Italian)

The leader of the Lao Shu, a huge gang of rats that pillage and plunder food and wealth.

---

• Ax-Crazy: According to Master Shifu, he is crazy and does what he does because it's fun, making him unpredictable.
• Batman Gambit: Knowing about Po's hunger, he has Madame Zhou trick Po into coming to her safe house to eat her steamed bean buns so that Lao Shu will steal all the food from the village. Once Po learns about this, he promptly defeats them both with the same buns they used to distract him.
• Massively Numbered Siblings: Most of his gang is made up of his brothers and sisters.
• One-Shot Character: Only appears in “The Hunger Game”.
• Thieves' Guild: The Lao Shu is a gang of thousands of rats, making them rely on strength in numbers.
• You Dirty Rat!: He and his gang are rats with chaotic intentions.

Kim the Invincible

Voiced by: Graham McTavish^{Foreign VAs}Stefano Mondini (Italian)

A powerful warrior hippo from a foreign land who seeks to defeat Po and immortalize his victory over the Dragon Warrior.

---

• Achilles' Heel: He's extremely powerful and durable on the outside but his stomach isn't so impenetrable, as Po exploits to his advantage.
• Affably Evil: Brutal and fearsome as he may be, Kim has some standards and politeness to him when not on the hunt to the point of taking Ping's offer of food without protest, he even gifts a child a lollipop.
• Angry, Angry Hippos: He's a formidable hippopotamus who specializes in hunting down and defeating skilled warriors from across the world to sate his thirst for a challenge, with Po being next on his list.
• The Dreaded: Shifu recognizes who he is and immediately understands that trying to fight him physically is futile.
• Kick the Dog: He terrorizes Zeng, physically manhandling him to extract answers and then smashes a door on the goose once he leaves, likely giving Zeng PTSD flashbacks to when Vachir also manhandled and strongarmed him.
• Made of Iron: He shrugs off all outward physical attacks Po throws at him, from rocks to ninja stars to bamboo spears.
• Non-Specifically Foreign: He's explicitly not from China and has traveled the world fighting and defeating other warriors. But where he's from exactly is never established. All that can be said is that he sounds vaguely British.
• Pet the Dog: After he intimidates a pig parent into telling him where the Jade Palace is, he flings the father aside... and then gives his son some candy as a reward. This at least implies he doesn’t harm children.
• Storyboard Body: His body is decked with tattoos celebrating the moments in his life where he defeated some of the greatest warriors in the world, including a lion warrior from Zambia and a spider monkey from Borneo. He also had plans to have a fallen Po tattooed on his body in the event of the Dragon Warrior's defeat.
• Strong and Skilled: He's an extremely skilled warrior and a physical powerhouse with an impenetrable hide who can manhandle Po with minimal effort.
• Would Not Hurt A Child: He'll happily manhandle any adult character, as well as casually throw a child's father a great distance. However, he'll stop short of attacking the child and hand the kid some candy instead.

Pai Mei

Voiced by: Clancy Brown

An evil Emperor tamarin kung fu master who was once stopped by Shifu from destroying the Emperor and practitioner of the Five-Fingered Blast Punch.

---

• Defeat as Backstory: His backstory was that he was stopped by Shifu when he was attacking the Emperor in the past and by the time of this episode, has come back for revenge against Shifu.
• Defeating the Undefeatable: The first time Shifu stopped him, it was shown through flashbacks that he did so through an ambush from behind when Pai Mei launched an assault on the Emperor's forces. By the time of their rematch, it's played straight, with Pai Mei having defeated Po and the Furious Five before Shifu steps up and deals with him in a more straightforward one-on-one.
• Evil Old Folks: He's an elderly kung fu master who revels in harming others, whether it's the Emperor, Chao, Shifu, or anyone standing in his path.
• Knight of Cerebus: He's a One-Shot Character but is one of the darker one-off villains, being an evil kung fu master who can demolish entire armies, crush Po and the Furious Five, and has actually killed characters on-screen (two rhino guards) via a Gory Discretion Shot through his Touch of Death.
• Misplaced Wildlife: He's an Emperor tamarin, which only exists in a small pocket of South America but is presented as a native kung fu master of China, possibly because the average tamarin resembles an old man with a mustache and beard, thus fitting the "elderly kung fu master" leitmotif that another monkey species might not have fit into as well.
• No Historical Figures Were Harmed: He's pretty much an animal version of the legendary Bak Mei, a historical figure who was immortalized in countless kung fu films, mostly as an abusive kung fu master.
• Old Master: He's an elderly monkey kung fu master who's skilled and powerful enough to defeat Po and the Furious Five in combat and was once so good, not even the Emperor's forces could stop his rampage before Shifu ambushed him.
• One-Man Army: Nobody in the Emperor's army, the Sacred Onyx Council, or Po and the Furious Five could stop him.
• Pintsized Powerhouse: He's one of the smallest villains in the series, around Shifu's size but has the power and skill to defeat armies.
• Touch of Death: His deadliest move is the "Five-Fingered Blast Punch" which, once it makes contact, can make inanimate objects or living creatures explode.
• Uncertain Doom: Shifu sends him plummetting off a cliff in their climactic battle and we even hear Pai Mei hitting bottom. But beyond that, it's not clear if he died or merely got knocked out and arrested off-screen.
