* StupidEvil: He has no real evil plan; he just wants a new table leg so he can drink his milk without spilling it, and for some reason, he concludes that only Conker will do.

* StupidEvil: He has no real evil plan; he just wants a new table leg so he can drink his milk without spilling it, and for some reason, he concludes that only Conker will do. He's so stupid that when Conker talks about fairy tales his mother used to tell him, Panther King thinks he is calling ''him'' a "fairy", a slang for "homosexual".

* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Twice, first time since Conker stole his money, he sends him on a suicide mission to repay him. If Conker lives, he could go free as long as he was out of Weaso's territory. If he dies, then meh, no biggie. Conker manages to survive, but just as he's about to head home after the War Chapter, he runs into Weaso again who strongarms him into doing a bank heist [[spoiler: though it's really a ploy to bring Conker to the Panther King.]]

Conker basically forgets about Berri 'til it's too late


* TheLostLenore: Conker has everything he ever wanted. Power, money, and no more want for any materialistic value in life. [[spoiler:Except since he isn't able to the convince the Game Programmers to bring her back to life, when he was blackmailing them, he's without the thing he needed, Berri, the love of his life.]]

* FatalFlaw: {{Greed}} and selfishness. At the start of the game, Conker simply wanted to get home to his girlfriend, Berri. However, as the game goes on, his desire for money and wealth starts getting the better of him and he ultimately starts focusing on collecting money rather than getting home to Berri. His greed pushes him to make amoral decisions, nearly pushing him into VillainProtagonist territory. This goes up to the point when at the end of the game, Conker is so focused on himself that he forgets to ask the programmers to revive Berri. Had he learned to set aside his greed and focus on getting home, he wouldn't have ended up unhappy.

Added DiffLines:

* FatalFlaw: [[StupidEvil Stupidity]] and [[BadBoss mistreatment of his subordinates.]] The Panther King would be a genuinely threatening villain if it weren't for the fact that he's so stupid. His whole reason for wanting to capture Conker is because his table is damaged, requiring a scientist to tell him that his table was missing a leg and wanting to use Conker as a replacement rather than simply buying a new table. Playing into his stupidity, the Panther King also badly mistreats von Kriplesac and his guards, which causes them to despise him and only when it's too late would the Panther King realize that being a tyrannical bully is NOT A GOOD IDEA. Not only does he not realize how much his guards and von Kriplesac hate him, [[spoiler: but this also leaves him open to manipulation and being easily used, proven when von Kriplesac uses him to birth a Xenomorph, killing him.]]

Added DiffLines:

* HateSink: They make it clear they view themselves superior over Conker right away and even call him disposable to his face. They knowingly send him on a dangerous quest for a mere ten dollars which they only reveal to be such after he gets it when they reveal he'd only get a single dollar for his troubles as they promised him ten percent.

* BrickJoke: Twofold. If you died at any point before the Spooky chapter, Gregg lets you know how much he despises cats for their nine lives. Likewise, the Catfish die violently to Brute and aren't seen again until the introduction to Spooky much later into the game, where all the ones who died are pissing Gregg right the hell off.

Added DiffLines:

* TreacherousQuestGiver: They're aware of how dangerous retrieving the money is because of the Dogfish's proximity, yet don't mind sending Conker to do so because they view him as "common as muck". And getting rid of the Dogfish is only half the job, as the inside of the safe comes with its own dangers. In the end, Conker realizes that the money itself (which is only 10$, and only one was agreed to him) is too low for all the trouble he went through.

Not all bosses in video games are killed by the player after being defeated. Some of them redeem, others get a different commeupance (potentially a Fate Worse Than Death), and others are killed by someone else

The more I thought about “and I’m gonna throw my shit at you” lyric, it got even funnier considering Conker helped him not a minute ago
