* AntiVillain: Although he is disapproving of Mumble's dancing, he exiled him out of concern for the colony. Even during the confrontation leading to Mumble's exile, he tries to guide Mumble towards repenting instead of being exiled, for the sake of Mumble's father's "suffering heart". It's clear enough that even with his personal issues with Mumble's "foreign friends", having to cast out a penguin from the colony, inflicting heartbreak onto said penguin's parents in the process, is not something he takes any pleasure in, and were it not for his responsibility to protect and provide for the colony, and the colony's genuine belief that they are beholden to a god-figure whose displeasure with abberant behaviour has led to creating lean times until they correct themselves in the Great 'Guin's eyes, then Noah likely would've quietly been bothered by the goofy youths and neighbours of his colony but otherwise minded his own business. When the climax arrives and Mumble's seemingly mad ranting about "aliens" proves objectively true, he's visibly seething at what he perceives to be Mumble leading such bizarre beings here, but still defers to Mumble's lead in appeasing the "aliens" in the moment. After all, if he was right that they exist, then what else may he be correct about? Even if he "is" a ridiculous, foolish young penguin, he was the only thing close to an expert present for the very imminent potential threat of the "aliens", and rather than rail against change, Noah adjusted quickly to the urgent situation... all in the name of the colony.

* GenerationXerox: appearance-wise. Erik not only has his father's blue eyes, but the darker patch on his chest that resembles a bow tie. Not to mention being just as adorable as little Mumble.

* AntiVillain: Sure, attempting to eat an adorable baby penguin is pretty horrific, but it’s nothing personal. As he puts it,

* SequelNonEntity: While Mumble’s parents are lucky to have cameos, Maurice and Michelle have no appearances in the sequel.



* BackingAwaySlowly: They back away from Lovelace and retreat back into the water as he boasts in front of them. The other penguins immediately realize this is because of a massive ship coming through the Ace and heading straight in their direction.



* GracefulInTheirElement: They are graceful for their size and perform several flips while in the water but when they try to reach the penguins on land, they can just awkwardly stumble on the ice. They can’t even put their entire bodies on the ice to reach the penguins.
* LightningBruiser: They are massive beasts to the penguins who are also very fast and agile swimmers.
* TheSpeechless: Unlike the Leopard Seal, the Killer Whales never speak and it is implied they can’t speak to penguins.



* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: We know her mother is Miss Viola, but we never see her father.



* TrueCompanions: She and Atticus are this to Erik.

to:

* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: She looks just like Gloria when she was a baby penguin, yet is Miss Viola’s daughter.
* TrueCompanions: She and Atticus are this to Erik. When all the young penguins laugh at Eric, she and Atticus stand up for him. They even go to comfort him in his hiding hole.



* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: We see his dad Seymour, but not his mom at any point.
* BigEater: A chubby penguin who is always eager for a snack.

* HeroicBSOD: By the time Mumble returns, Memphis has become consumed with guilt over supporting Noah's decision to exile his son that he has isolated himself into a cave from the rest of the colony.

to:

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's Music/ElvisPresley as a penguin. With emotional baggage.



* ParentsAsPeople: Memphis truly loves his son, but doesn't support his son's dancing, urging him to "repent" instead. Why does he do this? Because the winter incubation is not only an unforgiving period, but a devoutly religious one for the penguins, meant for singing praises to the "Great Guin" in the hopes that he'll bring them sunlight and a bountiful fishing season. Memphis, cold and desperately lonely, chose instead to lose himself in thoughts of Norma Jean, and got so into the memory of her song that he started dancing along and dropped Mumble's egg. His evangelicalism and hatred of anything that "ain't penguin" stem from a tragic combination of guilt and a sincere belief that going against the grain results in cosmic punishment.
