* BenevolentBoss: When an elderly carp lady gives him a plan to capture Tripitaka, he rewards her upon succeeding and treats her as an adoptive family member, promising to share Tripitaka's cooked meat with her.
* ChildEater: He rules over the villagers living on the shores of his river and forces them to offer their childern to sate his hunger. This leads to Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie to disguise themselves as kids to lure him in a trap.
* CombatPragmatist: He sneak attacks the heroes as they're walking on ice, kidnaps Tripitaka and, learning from his previous battle, keeps fighting underwater so that Sun Wukong cannot attack him.
* DropTheHammer: Fights with a massive bronze hammer sculpted to resemble a flower blossom with nine petals. Turns out, it was an actual flower blossom from Guanyin's lake he turned into a weapon.
* FishPeople: A huge, humanoid ogre living in a underwater mansion, when Pigsy slash at his arm with his rake, several bronze-like scales drop on the floor, implyng that he's covered in fish-like scales.
* HumanSacrifice: He forced the villagers into sacrificing their children to him. This is the reason that pushes the heroes to stop him.
* AnIcePerson: Appears on surface shrouded in a veil of icy mist, and when provoked he can summon a blizzard cold enough to freeze over the gigantic river he lives in. This allows the heroes to pass, but also allows him to ambush them when they're vulnerable.
* KillerRabbit: Embarassingly enough, he originally was a ''goldfish'' living in the pond of Guanyin's domain. Even his fearsome hammer is a flower he took from the pond and turned into a weapon.
* ShroudedInMyth: He's shrouded in mist wherever he goes and tries to make sure that the villagers know little of him.

!!Hermit Ruyi/Ruyi Zhenxian

* ALoadOfBull: He's the Bull Demon King's brother, but apparently he prefers to appear as a human. Depictions range from good-looking human hermit to full blown minotaur.
* AvengingTheVillain: When he hears that Sun Wukong, the one who captured his nephew Red Boy, is there for an audience, he promptly turns hostile and does all he can to hinder him.
* CombatPragmatist: After a few blows, he realizes that he's no match for Monkey, so he opts for staying hidden and use his cane to trip his opponent whenever he tries to take the Water from the fountain.
* DidntSeeThatComing: His clever and annoying plan is foiled when Sun Wukong brings Sandy with him and proceeds to keep him busy in combat while Sandy takes the water.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: He's a relative of the Red Boy and furious for what Sun Wukong did to him. The same thing happens later with Iron Fan Princess and Bull Demon King.
* HooksAndCrooks: He wields a StaffOfAuthority tipped with a hook he uses to trip Sun Wukong when he tries to take the water he's guarding.
* HumiliationConga: Sun Wukong tricks him, steal the precious water from under his nose, defeats him and proceeds to snap his staff in half rather than killing him.
* MacGuffinGuardian: He lives on a mountain in the Country of Women and guards the magical spring from which the Abortion Water flows. Sun Wukong must fight him to get the water to cure Tripitaka and Pigsy, who got themselves pregnant by drinking the water of the river of Women.
* NonMaliciousMonster: He lives like an hermit and normally doesn't hurt humans, he just sells pots of the water to a rather high price.
* {{Pun}}: Ruyi means "compliant" or "As-you-wish", but it's also the name of a type of scepter used by authority figures. He uses a scepter as his weapon.

Monster/Jiutochong

* AdaptationExpansion: In at least one TV series, his wife Princess Wansheng was supposed to be the bride of the Dragon Horse... but cheated on him with the Nine Headed Monster, causing all the mess he was involved with.



* DeathByAdaptation: At least one TV series has him dying fighting Erlang, rather than running away.



!!Tree Immortals

* AlasPoorVillain: Even though they wanted to force him to get married without his consent (knowing very well that it'll make him lose his Yang), Tripitaka still tries to beg Sun Wukong to spare them, and is saddened when Pigsy, after turning into a boar, proceeds to unroot them to death.
* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: A curious example, after a civil and poetic discussion, they introduce the Apricot Fairy to Tripitaka and pretty much go from commenting how well they look together to try to force the monk to marry the lady, mixing the trope with HoneyTrap and ArrangedMarriage.
* AffablyEvil: Aside from their plot of having Tripitaka renounce to his journey and kidnapping him, these immortals are quite affable, polite and well-spoken.
* EvilOldFolks: Downplayed, they look like affable and nice old immortals who adore poetry, but they still plan to force Tripitaka to marry the Apricot Fairy.
* PunnyName: Aside from the Naked Servant and the Apricot Fairy, the four men have names which are hidden puns or euphemisms referring to their real identity as tree demons.
* WhenTreesAttack: They are actually tree spirits taking human form to kidnap Tripitaka and force him into marriage. Namely, we have a maple tree, a pine, a juniper, a cypress, bamboo and apricot. They're surprisingly civil.
* WickedCultured: They're well-behaved and well-spoken and love talking in charades and poetry. Tripitaka actually enjoys their company.

!!Great King Yellow Brows/Huangmei Dawang

* BigOlEyebrows: It's right there in his name, and is often depicted with humongously long eyebrows going down past his shoulders.
* CarryABigStick: When he became a monster he transformed his sounding stone in a Wolf Teeth Club (usually depicted as a vicious-looking spiked club).
* CompositeCharacter: He shares several elements with the Gold Horn/Silver Horn brothers (a former helper of a Heavenly being, causing ruckus with magical tools, trapping Sun Wukong to keep him away from his friends and using a people-sucking device) and Black Wind Monster (a powerful fighter who's defeated when tricked into swallowing Sun Wukong).
* EvilOldFolks: He looks aged and is even known as "Old Monster Yellow Brow" (Huangmeilaoguai)
* GodGuise: He pretens to be the Western Heaven Buddha and his lair is built to be a copy of the Thunderclap Monastery (except for the actual name being "Little Thunderclap Monastery").
* MonstrousHumanoid: One of the very few monsters who's not a beast, rather a massive ogre of a man.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: He makes use of his tools to take Sun Wukong out of the picture and capture the others.
* TrademarkFavouriteFood: He can't say no to watermelons, which allows Maireya and Sun Wukong (disguised as a farmer and a watermelon) to trick him.
* WeaponsThatSuck: The Humanity Bag forcibly sucks people inside and can store whole armies. The people removed from the bag are so exhausted they can't fight back.
* YoungerThanHeLooks: Resemble an old ogre, but he's actually the young assistant of the Pusa Maitreiya, who wanted to take a break from his job.

!!Red Python Spirit/Chimangjing

* AdaptationExpansion: There's at least one TV adaptation where the Python is actually a female demoness who can take human form.
* BladeOnAStick: Zigzagged, when fighting his "nocturnal" form, Sun Wukong and Pigsy notices that he's apparently wielding two long spears, but the movements are so odd they wonder where the shafts are. Once day comes and the monster takes his true form, they realize that the "spears" were the tips of his forked tongue.
* ByTheLightOfTheirEyes: In his first appearence, the beast is shrouded by fog and only his gigantic, lanter-like eyes can be seen, which actually give Zhu Bajie a case of BringMeMyBrownPants.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Tries to eat Sun Wukong, who extends the Compliant Cudgel inside the stomach with deadly results.
* {{Kaiju}}: While most of the other monsters are humanoid and masters of magic and martial arts, this one is just a humongous, hungry animal who can transform into a vaguely humanoid form.
* OverlyLongTongue: Which he uses as a spear to fight.
* ShroudedInMyth: By night, he takes a huge form shrouded in red mist, and his tongue turns in a pair of lances.
* SnakesAreSinster: A monstrous snake demon of gigantic size who's a mindless and ruthless predator.

* CaneFu: The White Deer Spirit is adept at fighting with his dragon cane, though not enough to worry Sun Wukong.
* EvilChancellor: The White Deer introduced the White-Faced Fox as a concubine for the king, leading to bad government as the king grew ill losing Yang and followed his advisor's evil plots to find a cure.
* EvilOldFolks: The White Deer spirit look like a venerable wise man, but he's willing to ruin a kingdom and have 1111 children sacrificed for his plans.
* FilleFatale: The White-faced Vixen takes the form of a beautiful sixteen-years old maiden, but her job is to enthrall the King and absorb his Yang through copulation, which lead to the King's illness.
* {{Kitsune}}: The White-Faced Vixen is, as the name suggested, a white-faced Hulijing.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: The White Deer is actually the steed of the Old Man of the South Pole.
* HumanResources: The White Deer promises to heal the king by making a potion obtained from the crushed hearts of 1111 children. The King is so under the charme of his concubine that he's wiling to let him harvest the hearts.
* TheMarvelousDeer: Subverted, while he originally was one, as a monster the White Deer is a remorseless, cruel old man.
* RaceLift: The French and Italian translations turn the Vixen spirit in a Civet. Also MisplacedWildlife, as it's not a Chinese animal.
