History Characters / JumanjiTheAnimatedSeries

* PowerCorrupts: She was already a pretty rotten person before entering Jumanji, and only grows even more tyrannical after stealing an ancient spellbook that turns her into a powerful sorceress, hellbent on world domination. She only snaps out of it after the three heroes manage to snatch the tome (and her powers) away from her.

* LastNameBasis: Desmona appears to be a surname. Her first name is never revealed.

* TheMillstone: Peter has a bad habit of trying to cheat at Jumanji, only for the game to punish him and the others by making things harder. He's also prone to getting himself into trouble in some other way, which just add to more headaches for Judy and Alan.

* ForcedTransformation: Over the course of the series, he is transformed into a monkey, a turtle, a toucan, a warthog, a Manji, and Van Pelt. [[RunningGag Among others]].

* TheMillstone: The games often become harder because Peter cheated or got in trouble in some other way.

* ThePigPen: Throughout the third season, Judy comments a lot about Peter's unhygienic odor, citing how he often skips showers and wears "sticky" clothes. His pockets are also filled with food - or things that were food once.

* ThePigPen: Through the third season, Judy comments a lot that he doesn't like to take showers and wears "sticky" clothes. His pockets are also filled with food - or things that were food once.

* RunningGag: Jumanji transforming Peter. Sometimes to punish him, others because the game is just a dick.

* GuiltByAssociationGag: Peter will be punished even if it was Judy who cheated, not him. This unfairness will make him complain out loud.

The Shepherds' family doctor

* EvilOldFolks: Both retired and unpleasant.

* JerkAss: Without discussion.

* DeathIsCheap: In "Stormy Weather", Alan keeps getting killed (repeatedly) by a freak storm, forcing Judy and Peter try to save him by replaying the game with a TimeMachine bought from Slick, ''Film/GroundhogDay''-style.

* AndroclesLion: The finale reveals that his clue is [[spoiler:to retrieve a thorn from the paw of a lion that has been chasing him since he was sucked into Jumanji. The moment he does, the lion licks him [[AllAnimalsAreDogs dog-style]] and leaves.]]

* TheyKilledKennyAgain: In "Stormy Weather", Alan keeps getting killed (repeatedly) by a freak storm, forcing Judy and Peter try to save him by replaying the game with a TimeMachine bought from Slick, ''Film/GroundhogDay''-style.

* SizeShifter: In "Oh, Grow up!". He becomes first gigantic, then diminutive.
* TakenForGranite: One of many creatures turned into stone by [[spoiler:Flint]] in "Love on the Rocks."

* RapidAging: Along with Judy in "An Old Story".

* RapidAging: She and Peter are subjected to this curse in "An Old Story" as part of the riddle they have to solve.

* RapidAging: Subjected to this in "An Old Story".
* RobotMe: One of many characters to have a robot duplicate in "Robo-Peter".

* TheSmartGuy: She's quick-witted enough to figure out solutions that Alan or Peter tend to overlook, and can even beat Trader Slick at his own game.

* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]]: Enough to beat Trader Slick at his own game.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Judy, given his tendency towards mischief acting like a smartass.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Judy.

* MirrorBoss: In "Nothing to Fear", he is forced to fight a cackling duplicate of himself, except he looks [[FutureMeScaresMe about 70 years old]], and it is [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids fairly disturbing]] for the standards of the series.

* ActionSurvivor: This version of Alan straddles the line between this and a full-on jungle ActionHero like Tarzan. Although he'd much rather flee than fight, he's shown to be more than capable of holding his own against the many dangerous creatures and villains that inhabit Jumanji whenever forced to defend himself or the kids, sometimes even ''overpowering'' them with his own raw strength and ''winning.'' His natural instincts are highlighted in "Young Alan" which depicts his childhood self as naïve and easily scared, but by the end of the episode is already on his way to growing into great survivor like the adult Alan would become.

* TheyKilledKennyAgain: In "Stormy Weather", Alan is killed (repeatedly) by a freak storm and Judy and Peter try to save him by replaying the game with a machine bought from Slick, ''Film/GroundhogDay''-style.
** DisneyVillainDeath: One of Alan's deaths is falling over a waterfall that [[KilledOffForReal would be survived]] in every other episode.
** TragicKeepsake: Since the cartoon can't show him being dead, his burnt-out BagOfHolding is used as a stand in after he is striken by lightning.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: All Alan wants is to go back home to Brantford.
** YankTheDogsChain: ...but until the finale, every time he seems to accomplish it, something (or someone) forces him back.
** Alan even manages to get trapped in another world within another world, when he is trapped in the dimension inside the Transvector of Jumanji.

* VineSwing: A master of this.

* ActionSurvivor: Necessary or he would have bit the dust years ago.
** Highlighted in "Young Alan". [[AlternateContinuity Ten-year-old]] Alan is naïve and easily scared, but by the end of the episode he is already showing his ability to survive.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: The series also makes clear that Van Pelt is a persona created to fulfill a role in the game. [[InvincibleVillain He cannot be killed]] (even [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction after]] being [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaled]] by a rhinoceros horn), and like others of Jumanji "human" inhabitants, he is [[RedRightHand eerily pale]] despite living in a scorching climate (although the art is [[ContinuitySnarl somewhat]] [[DependingOnTheArtist inconsistent]] about this). However, when the team temporarily incapacitates Van Pelt, [[ButtMonkey Peter]] starts to [[RunningGag transform]] into Van Pelt and proudly boasts that there must always be a Van Pelt. This opens the door to the possibility that the Van Pelt we know (and perhaps other Jumanji residents, to an extent) was once a real person.

* ButtMonkey: Though he quickly loses this place to Nora.

%%* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Because the series puts more emphasis on the children's lives and their efforts to keep venturing into Jumanji to rescue him and, Alan gets demoted to this status, though he's still indisputably the most important character next to them.

* AlternateContinuity: In this continuity, Jumanji takes all its players to the jungle after giving them a clue that they must solve to return. Alan found the game already in the attic like Judy and Peter (rather than in a construction site) but missed his clue when his mother called him. He has been trapped inside ever since a few HopeSpot excluded, and as a result, he never shaves his beard nor changes clothes in the series.

* BeardOfBarbarism: He has presumably never shaved in his life.
* TheBigGuy: Provides the muscle for the team.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: It is never explained why he lost his memory in "The Riddle of Alan" or why the River Source Manjis dressed him with a giant rat's skin and WolverineClaws.
* CanonDiscontinuity: Season 1 says Alan was trapped in Jumanji in 1972, Season 3 that it was 1965. Movie says 1969.

%%* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* PairTheSpares: The last episode hints that she will marry Alan.

* ReallyGetsAround: In this version, she's constantly trying to have dates or seeking a relationship with most men she meets.
* TookALevelInBadass: "[[DoubleMeaningTitle Perfect Match]]".

* ClearMyName: In "The Trial", he is accused of stealing a prized artifact known as the Singing Orb and risks being sent to TheAlcatraz. [[spoiler: But it is [[ButtMonkey Peter]] who is randomly sentenced after Alan is convicted.]]
* DemotedToExtra: Not quite extra but he passes his main character status from the film to the children.

* StalkerWithoutACrush: Gina wants to marry Alan, but she sure does not appear to be in love with him.

** RoboticReveal: [[spoiler: The end of "Master Builder" reveals that he is actually a SteamPunk robot.]]

* VillainousRescue: Flint saves Judy twice. One from falling into a BottomlessPit and another from a giant, ToothyBird. [[UncannyValley Both feature implausible physics.]]

* PoisonousFriend: To Peter.

* WeaponOfChoice: His two-barreled elephant gun.

* WeaponOfChoice: He carries a German Mauser with a telescopic sight.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The red ants and the black ants are identical except in their color, flag, and siege WeaponOfChoice.

* IntelligentGerbil: Compared to the ants, who fall closer to TalkingAnimal, the Jumaki are a genuine attempt to make a civilization of birds with human intelligence. They have an unintelligible language that is equal parts sound and mime, build high-rise cities that look closely like aggregated swallow nests, raise their eggs communally, attack in chaotic swarms, and have tridents that look loosely like bird feet as their WeaponOfChoice.

* WeaponOfChoice: Tridents fashioned like bird feet.

* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: If you permanently incapacitate Van Pelt (since you can't kill him), you ''[[InvoluntaryTransformation become]]'' Van Pelt.
