!!Main Characters
[[folder:Tropes applying to both Spear and Fang]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spear_and_fang.jpg]]
An unlikely pair of heroes, a caveman and a tyrannosaur who team up after losing their respective families.
----
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: While Spear and Fang are the protagonists and are largely portrayed as positive or well meaning, they do not possess a code of right and wrong comparable to the modern day. Killing is a necessity and there's no distinction made between killing an animal (which may even possess sapience) or killing a human. Spear shows zero hesitation in killing a Viking when threatened and carves through scores of them brutally in defense of himself, Fang, Mira and the slaves. Fang may not view humans as an immediate food source like Red does, but she isn't concerned about killing them if they threaten her or her loved ones (while she hesitates when Red is hunting the Celts, she instantly attacks one that spears him). During the Viking fight she rips, crushes or outright swallows dozens of attackers. Yet both are capable of empathy and even altruism understandable to modern eyes, from Spear being willing to rush to the aid of strangers being torn apart by the Night Feeder to both being willing to cross an ocean to save a friend they only recently met.
* BondingOverMissingParents: {{Inverted}}. The thing that bonded Spear (a caveman) and Fang (a tyrannosaur) was that they both lost their families (to the same specific predator, no less). One day while hunting for food for his family, Spear hears screaming and runs to see his wife and children being eaten alive by a pack of Horned Tyrannosaurs. Then after some time has past, he sees the same Horned Tyrannosaurs attacking Fang and her babies. Spear steps in and teams up with Fang to fight them. When it appears that they have slain all the Horned Tyrannosaurs, Fang's babies come and gently play with Spear's hair. Then the Horned Tyrannosaurus alpha appears and before Spear or Fang can do anything, it eats Fang's babies alive, to their shock and horror. Spear and Fang fight together and kill the alpha. Nether of them are satisfied, having both failed to protect their families. Fang just lays down while Spear sadly walks away. Later, while walking on a beach, Spear sees Fang following him, and after a moment of consideration, Spear accepts Fang, and the two head off into the night as a new family.
* CommonalityConnection: They're both parents who lost their families to the same predators (Fang lost her babies while Spear lost both his children and his mate). Realizing this brings them together.
* EnemyMine: Other than losing their family, the only thing the two have in common is that they're alone in a world full of predators that wish to kill them. It's more than enough for them to stay loyal.
* EveryoneHasStandards: They will ferociously fight and kill to survive, but they both have a dim view towards excessive cruelty. This is first shown in their conflict against the Night Feeder, and more so in [[spoiler:season 2 where they run afoul of decadent human civilizations that oppress and enslave others.]]
* FireForgedFriends: At first they had issues that almost led them to fight over dominance, but after enough time together while saving each other, now they would do anything to protect one another. [[spoiler: Ironically it would be fighting a fire spewing demonic herald that would end the friendship but they were together every step of the way.]]
* InterspeciesFriendship: A primitive human and an intelligent ''Tyrannosaurus'' brought together by shared loss.
* MadeASlave: [[spoiler:As of "The Colossaeus, Part I", due to the Egyptian Queen holding Fang's newborn eggs hostage.]]
* NormalFishInATinyPond: In their original homeland, they're formidable but not unbeatable as they've nearly been overwhelmed and killed by some of the creatures living there such as the giant spider, the Plague Monster and the Night Feeder but when they find themselves in the humans lands where deadly megafauna seem less abundant, they're damn near unstoppable.
* OneManArmy: As long as they aren't up against truly unbeatable or supernatural opponents, they are capable of holding their own against scores of enemies. They kill hoards of vicious creatures in their homeland and once they encounter the advanced human civilizations, they prove to be capable of eliminating huge numbers in short order.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Both of their respective families were slaughtered by the same pack of tyrannosaurs.
* [[OutsideGenreFoe Outside Genre Foes]]: To the human civilizations. While dinosaurs and other large animals do live in amongst them, they seem to be much fewer in number and the vast majority of conflict is between humans, whether they be Viking raiders, Egyptian invaders or various other human cultures. In comparison, Spear and Fang come from a much more brutal environment and not only display feats of strength well beyond what the vast majority of humans would ever encounter but they are highly adaptive, ruthless fighters. The combination means that the two of the are enough to wipe out a village of hardened Vikings in a night, breach the walls of a Babylonian city and alongside the giant Kamau, lay waste to numerous cities across the world. Only supernatural foes are guaranteed to be too much for them.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Their's is an (obviously) non-romantic relationship but either would die to save the other without hesitation, and they are lifelong friends who love each other fiercely. While Spear feels isolated by Fang having children and Mira returning home, Fang's actions shows he's nothing to worry about about as she promptly breaks through a stonewall to share a home with him in Mira's village.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Their ability to communicate is functional but limited, as it mostly relies on vocal tone and bodily gestures to convey simple messages and concepts. Fang being unable to fully articulate how she sees and is a bit disturbed by a number of pikes that have skulls mounted on them that Spear doesn't notice factors in to how the [[spoiler:Ape-Men in the area]] manage to kidnap [[spoiler:Mira]] in the first season finale.
* VitriolicBestBuds: They're joined at the hip but frequently quarrel, in a combination of wordless shouts and the occasional shove or slap. Despite this, they're incredibly loyal to each other and either would die or kill for the other.

[[folder:Spear]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spear.jpg]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [=Aaron LaPlante=], Noah Bentley (young)
A prehistoric hunter who goes on a journey after losing his family.
----
* ActionDad: He was this before his children died. A flashback shows he taught his son how to hunt.
* AllCavemenWereNeanderthals: He looks like a stereotypical Neanderthal-like caveman with a bulky physique, hunched posture, thick arms, and enormous fists, as well as thick brows and a flat forehead. He also seems to have SuperStrength, considering he fights animals far larger than him with his bare hands. His characterization, however, is decidedly ''un''stereotypical, being a rare example of a Neanderthal-like character who is treated by the story as a connectable person with feelings rather than as a simple brute or the butt of a joke. With the introduction of Mira and other modern humans, it's heavily suggested that he really ''is'' a Neanderthal.
* AntiHero: He brutally kills his opponents, but considering that this is a [[DeathWorld dog-eat-dog world]] where our moral standards don't exist yet, it's justified for his situation. Spear is even shown preparing to attack Fang and her family before being interrupted by the horned tyrannosaurs. He does have an altruistic side, however, as he returns the old mammoth's tusk to its herd and he saves one of the cave-dwellers and the food he was bringing despite it putting him at risk.
* BarbarianLonghair: Spear sports shoulder-long black hair, and he's a powerful, savage hunter struggling to survive in a primordial world.
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: He defeats Krog by drinking the same SuperSerum that made Krog into a gargantuan ape-man, turning into a giant himself than making mincemeat out of Krog and the rest of the ape-men.
* TheBerserker: It is not a good idea to enrage Spear as he will be roiling with pure brutality and aggression towards his enemies. This in turn causes him to become very ferocious in battle as he often became a force to be reckoned with when angered. [[spoiler:Played straight when he drinks the Ape Man serum where he goes into full-on beast mode and absolutely massacres any ape in his way. Played very straight and very tragically when the vikings drive him and Fang into a corner, causing the pair to fall into a blind rage and wipe out the entire village.]]
* BigOlEyebrows: His eyebrows are noticeably bushy and large. They're possibly big intentionally to signify his non-verbal emotions more clearly.
* BladeOnAStick: His weapon of choice, which he is named for.
* BloodSplatteredWarrior: After killing the entire tribe of Ape-Men, he emerges from the corpses covered in blood. He later ends up covered in blood, both his own and that of the wild dogs that were attacking him and Fang.
* BrainsAndBrawn: Played with. Neither of the main characters are either particularly dumb or weak but while Spear is strong, he relies on his weaponry and innovation in combat more than brute strength. In many cases, his brute strength allows him to exercise ''even more'' of his brainpower, like ripping the tooth out of a tyrannosaur's head to stab it, or [[spoiler:''hauling a T-Rex across the landscape with a makeshift stretcher.'']] A lot of his strategies simply wouldn't work if he weren't insanely strong to begin with.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: It doesn't get shown too often, what with everything trying to kill him and having to hunt, but Spear has shown to be an affable man outside of that. He was a loving father to his children, briefly bonded with Fang's hatchlings, allowed her to follow him in mutual grief for their lost families, showed remorse in killing an elderly mammoth for food and clothing, returned its tusk to its herd, and saved a cave dweller despite having no reason to. He even has a willingness to save those who he hears the cries of. Such as when he hears the blood curdling screams from a Ceratopsian herd as they're being butchered by The Night Feeder, readying himself to charge to their aid, only to be stopped by Fang. He then shows genuine sorrow and regret when he sees the aftermath of the creature's carnage, failing to save them. He's also quick to show Mira he means no harm, lowering his weapon and making a fire for them to rest. When he's taken in by the Celtic tribe, he shows a playful attitude toward the Chief's daughter and is unhesitant in putting his life on the line to protect them. And when he realizes that [[spoiler:Fang is preparing to lay eggs after mating with Red, he gets absolutely giddy about it and tries his best to help her build a nest and guard the eggs]].
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Spear demonstrates almost superhuman-level feats of strength at times. Probably the most prominent example in the very first episode is when he throws his spear straight through a fully-grown T. Rex like a bullet. Though he was in a full UnstoppableRage at the time. He later, with the aid of a sled, drags Fang an undisclosed but seeming considerable distance in search of a safe place for her to heal. The bumper before the episode points out Fang weighs about ''10 tonnes''.
* ClassicalHunter: His life revolves around game hunting for survival and he lives his life in tune with nature.
* CombatPragmatist: If his trademark spear isn't available to him, he'll use rocks or whatever else nearby he can get his hands on.
* DeathGlare: This neanderthal can deliver some of the most threatening and irritated expressions. He's even hatefully glanced at Fang whilst gritting his teeth right at her in ''River of Snakes'' at one point. Whenever he shifts into this look, it would be wise enough not to directly piss him off.
* DespairEventHorizon: After losing his wife and kids to a pack of horned T. rex, Spear climbs a tall cliff and ponders whether or not he should just step off of it. He ultimately doesn't go through, but he did spend many hours at the edge of the cliff thinking about if he should.
* DueToTheDead: He makes a habit of comforting his prey during their final moments if he's given the opportunity to.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: When he realizes that Krog outmatches him in size and strength, the only way he'll save Fang from getting killed was by drinking ''all'' of the black liquid the Ape Shaman originally held. Spear mutates into a massive and brutish humanoid monstrosity that not only increased his strength to slaughter Krog but the entirety of the ape tribe with his bare hands.
* ExtremeOmnivore: He's shown eating quite a wide variety of critters in the show. TruthInTelevision, as actual hunter gatherers can't afford to be picky about their diet, and in fact humans in general play this trope pretty strongly compared to other animals. [[{{Irony}} Funnily enough]], it later turns out that his limit is spiced food, which humans invented to make what he typically eats ''more palatable''.
* FantasticRacism: In the first episode, he decides to try and kill Fang, not because she's a threat, but because she's a dinosaur similar to the dinosaurs that killed and ate his family. He does change his mind about her when he sees that she has a family of her own, which then at that second becomes threatened by the very same Tyrannosaurs that ate ''his'' family. Possibly at play in his conflict with Red as he is also a red faced man-eating tyrannosaur.
* FatalFlaw: ''Anger''. While much of the time he is able to check his rage and use his head to solve problems, occasionally he gets so furious he flails whatever object he is holding at the time, or charges at enemies recklessly, which leaves him vulnerable. Notably, his fight with Fang in ''River of Snakes'' shows how her constant stealing of his food leading up to the fight caused him to act much more frantic than usual, charging headlong at her several times. Coupled with his at-the-time present resentment for the dinosaurs which had killed his family, he was so wrapped up in rage that he abandoned the maneuverability he usually uses to his advantage against large monsters, and Fang quite easily could have killed him when he jumped ''right toward ​her mouth'' in an attempt to hit her.
* ForceAndFinesse: The finesse to Fang's force. His fighting style frequently involves the application of innovation and skill whether by his huge athleticism or inventive tactics. By virtue of many of his opponents being bigger and stronger than he is, he also is more defensive, avoiding and dodging attacks much more frequently than Fang.
* GadgeteerGenius: [[DownplayedTrope By hunter-gatherer standards, at least]]. In Episode 3 he fashions a yoke out of mammoth parts, which logically shouldn't be invented until the domestication of oxen, and in Episode 6 he constructs a sort of one-man gurney/sled out of bamboo.
* GeniusBruiser: He has the intelligence that comes with being a human--he primarily communicates in unsophisticated grunts and obviously doesn't have a scientific understanding of the world around him, but he's by no means stupid and demonstrates impressive problem-solving skills and improvisational inventiveness throughout the series, such as building a sleigh when he realizes that dragging a heavy load behind him by hand is just tiring him out and even making knuckle-dusters from spiky insect shells. He's also strong enough to kill a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' using only his spear and a large stone, and that's just one of his early feats of superhuman strength.
* GoodParents: He was a loving father to his children, which made their deaths devastating for him.
* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler: Succumbs to his burn wounds after fighting the demonically empowered Chieftain. ]]
* HeroicWillpower: Spear not only manages to roll a multi-ton dinosaur onto a stretcher, he then carries it an unspecified but long distance in search of safety. He only stops because his hands are so blistered and bruised he literally can't lift it anymore.
* HiddenDepths: Spear is a powerful warrior with a tenacious will to survive. In quiet moments, he tends to enjoy cave painting and shadow puppetry.
* HistoryRepeats: [[spoiler:Spear's father died protecting him from saber tooth tigers. Spear dies protecting Fang's new children from the empowered Chieftain.]]
* HulkMashUp: In the fifth episode, "Rage of the Ape-Men", Spear drinks a sip of the ape-men's potion and turns into a blue-skinned, muscle-bound giant who goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
* HulkingOut: In the fifth episode he drinks all of the ape-men's potion, turning him into a rampaging monster looking like a prehistoric version of ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk.
* InstantExpert: Part of what makes him so formidable is his sheer speed in adapting to new weapons and fighting techniques. After a minute or so with a new weapon, he'll quickly be massacring opponents who have been trained for years to use them.
* InterspeciesFriendship: He's a Neanderthal who is friends with Fang, a tyrannosaur. He later befriends Mira and Kamau, who are a different species or subspecies of human.
* InterspeciesRelationship: [[spoiler: {{Downplayed}} with him and Mira, but he's a Neanderthal (either a closely related species to or separate subspecies of human) while Mira is a standard human. TruthInTelevision as well, as we know that Neanderthals and Modern Humans did breed with each other before Neanderthals in general went extinct]].
* JavelinThrower: Naturally. He is very skilled in spear fighting up close, but he is very accurate when it comes to throwing his spear.
* TheJuggernaut: After he drinks all of he ape men's potion. Krog, who had just inflicted a CurbStompBattle on Fang, can't do any real damage to Spear before he '''rips the ape's arms off''' and beats him to death with them.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: While extremely courageous, in response to certain targets Spear will decide simply to flee, and for good reason. So far these have been limited to the infected Sauropod, which was so massive he and Fang had no chance to win, and the Coven of the Damned, which wielded powers outside his and Fang's comprehension, making them far too risky to challenge.
* {{Loincloth}}: His only piece of clothing.
* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler: When Fang is hit by the Chieftain's flames and left screaming, he's distraught and charges in a rage. He takes a full blast...and powers through on sheer primal fury, knocking the possessed Viking down a cliffside, beating him down every step of the way.]]
* ManBitesMan: In a fight Spear will make use of whatever is available to win, even if it's something as basic as biting his opponent as hard as he can. His jaws are strong enough to rip a significant chunk of flesh from the wrist of a viking. [[spoiler: Spear ultimately defeats the Viking Chieftain by biting the Chieftain’s hand, forcing the Chieftain to release his grip on the rope he was using to hold himself onto his airborne mount, giving Spear the opportunity to throw him off.]]
* ManlyTears:
** It's mainly subverted in the first episode, Spear wasn't visibly sobbing but instead sniffles after seeing his family devoured by the horned tyrannosaurs.
** At the beginning of Scent of Prey, he actually does shed tears. His grieving was so emotionally distressing, he lets out a mournful SkywardScream when he assumed that Fang passed away from her injuries... Only to figure out that she's still alive, but was in no condition to actually move.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Spear can be ''extremely'' vicious, but there are moments where even he is ashamed of what he does.
** He seems to have this reaction when the horned tyrannosaurs attack Fang and her chicks, making him realize he was about to kill a completely innocent party in his quest for revenge.
** He's shocked by his absolute slaughter of the ape-men.
** He shows remorse over Red's death after realizing Fang's connection with him.
** Spear is ''ashamed'' when he accidentally kills Rikka's younger son. Unfortunately, the Vikings continuing to attack him forces an IgnoredEpiphany, and he ends up [[spoiler:helping Fang slaughter them in their entirety]].
* NeverGivenAName: Spear isn't actually called that in-story. He doesn't even understand what a name is until Mira conveys the concept to him.
* NobleSavage: He might be the poster child of this trope. He's a primitive hunter-gatherer who, due to living in an inhospitable land filled with predators and things even worse, has to resort to brutal violence quite often, but he's also shown to be intelligent, compassionate, and caring towards those he holds dear.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Spear is normally extremely courageous, charging into battle with animals many times his size and coming up on top. He's absolutely terrified of the plagued ''Argentinosaurus'' and spends almost the entire episode in fear from it since neither he nor Fang can do a damn thing to the creature and their only option is to RunOrDie.
* OneHeadTaller: Inverted with him and Mira. He's a short, stout neanderthal; while she's a tall modern human.
* OneManArmy: Even without Fang to assist him, he can be extremely effective fighting hordes of enemies by himself and live to grunt the tale.
* OneWordVocabulary: Mira's name is the only word he ever learns to use, uttering it in the last moment of Season 1 and continuing to speak it now and then throughout Season 2. As humans in this universe seem to primarily rely on non-verbal communication, this hasn't posed much of a problem to him.
* PapaWolf: His attempt to save his family from the tyrannosaurs proved to be futile. But he is more than willing to put his life on the line for [[spoiler:Fang's new babies.]]
* RealMenEatMeat: Curiously, his onscreen diet is almost entirely carnivorous. Only twice does he attempt to eat vegetation, neither attempt being successful (the first time he tries to get some fruit from a tree, but ''Fang'' of all creatures eats the fruit before he can. Later he's offered a stewed tuber of some sort by Mira, reacting to it with confusion and unfamiliarity, spitting out his first bite in disgust).
* RunningOnAllFours:
** On occasion he'll likely alternate his usual running by lowering himself to the ground by sprinting with his hands and feet just like how a gorilla runs. He tends to run like this when he's enraged.
** In ''Slave of the Scorpion'', after having a taste of Mira's food, he comically tosses it away and goes back to his own food by crawling away offscreen on all fours.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: It's highly possible that he's been around Fang as a personal companion for so long now that he can basically flat-out "communicate" with her. Whenever she growls or roars at him, Spear clearly understands her on a personal level since he usually replies to her with many various grunts of inflection. Because of how both Spear and Fang are capable of communicating with each other, it's almost as if the 2 of them are having a "conversation."
* ScreamingWarrior: He charges into fights with a roar. Sometimes does this even outside of fights as a sign of frustration.
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:He becomes this for Mira, who had lost her previous lover in the Viking-attack that initially enslaved her (which ultimately led to her meeting Spear and Fang). Mira even ends up bearing him a child.]]
* SignatureMove:
** Throwing his spear - he cuts, stabs, and slices with it as well, but when he throws it, it's always a special moment of awesome.
** When he does not have his spear, he will pick up [[BoulderBludgeon a large rock and attack with it]], usually at the leg of the enemy he's fighting. It's not usually a fatal move, but a disabling one that either slows down his enemies, or lets him figure out what they're vulnerable to.
* SilentSnarker: Spear can convey some truly withering snark with a trademark exasperated look, usually directed at Fang when she annoys him.
* StoutStrength: Seemingly downplayed. It's not that Spear isn't actually fat or obese in anyway shape or form, but he has more of a widened and typically natural broader and muscular build in a way as how male neanderthals are usually drawn. His own bulk doesn't even slow him down in the slightest and makes great practical use of his strength.
* SuddenlySpeaking: [[spoiler:At the end of the Season 1 finale, he says his first word.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Spear:''']] [[spoiler:Mira.]]
* SuperStrength: This neanderthal has the absurd strength to not only grab a rock to break a tyrannosaur's ankle but he can also toss his spear dozens of yards away to pierce the flesh into said tyrannosaur's chest, puncture through boars, and impale giant bats. Whenever his WeaponOfChoice isn't useful or out of reach, he'll usually resort to using rocks such as when he battered the elderly mammoth to death after many physical strikes, although Fang did assist him by having the animal pinned down, making it easier for him to land the finishing blow. In ''River of Snakes''; he used tree branches to hit Fang hard enough to make her wince in pain. In ''Terror Under the Blood Moon'', he yanked off a horn of a triceratops to impale an enormous spider to save Fang from getting killed by it. ''Scent of Prey'' shows off his biggest feat of strength yet, where after creating a makeshift stretcher for Fang to lie on, while Spear does strain himself to move her body onto it, he does however manage to drag her for possibly miles. After fastening himself to the stretcher akin to a harness, he's shown to have a less difficult time moving her around and didn't show any signs of exhaustion after that. He can also effortlessly carry stones that are slightly larger than his body to protect her from getting eaten by the wild dogs.
* ThrowAwayGuns: Does this with his spears, which he can make more of with relative ease. But he also does this with [[spoiler:swords]], which he can't.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: The "Tiny" Guy to Fang's Huge Girl. Though he's a buff Neanderthal, he's shorter than the average human and is of course much smaller than a ''T. rex''.
* UglyGuyHotWife: [[spoiler:Well, he and Mira probably would've fully become this had Spear not sustained mortal injuries fighting the empowered Chieftain, but they do conceive a child together before Spear dies and Spear is a classic stout Neanderthal in appearance while Mira is a conventionally attractive tall woman. It's especially pronounced when they finally consummate their relationship, as Spear is completely covered in horrific burn scars by that point.]]
* UnstoppableRage:
** When Spear finds the T.rexes that killed his family he utterly lets loose all of his rage and frustration to where he was able to kill them despite him fighting full-grown dinosaurs.
** During the Ape Man trials when he sees his companion Fang being beaten almost to near death, he downs the entirety of the Apes's serum and transforms into a hulking blueish monster who literally destroys their champion by beating him with his own severed limbs and proceeds to kill every last of the tribe in an extremely bloody rampage.
** After seeing Red eat some of the tribe that took him in, Spear will not be dissuaded from trying to kill him, no matter how much Fang tries to get between them.
** Battling a tribe of Vikings who refuse to let up on him, he's driven deeper and deeper into a rage, before eventually snapping and slaughtering the whole tribe alongside Fang.
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: He avenged his family by killing the tyrannosaurs responsible. But if his sloping to the ground immediately afterwards is any indication, he felt no joy in it.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He spends most of the show wearing only a {{loincloth}}. The only exception is "A Cold Death", where he crafts a vest out of mammoth fur to avoid being ExposedToTheElements.
* WalkingTheEarth: Having achieved his joint revenge with Fang in the very first episode, Spear spends most of Season 1 traveling alongside the dinosaur with no real goal or destination in mind. The pair attempt to settle down during ''Rage of the Ape-Men'', but their near-demise at the hands of the eponymous tribe spook them enough that they decide to keep moving indefinitely.
* WeakButSkilled: He is by ''no means'' weak, but as a human faced with the larger prehistoric monsters of his time he's forced to rely on attacking their blind spots, using nearby objects as weapons, or teaming up with Fang to win against them. Special mention should also be given to his skillfulness with his spear. Whether it be accuracy and power in his throws that let him take down ''tyrannosaurs'' or his abilities in close combat, being able to dodge, thrust, and cut to kill many different types of monster, Spear's namesake weapon and skill with it is a strong showcase for the human ability to overcome the primal wilderness. Becomes StrongAndSkilled when up against other humans, as he's a talented and vicious fighter with strength surpassing any of the ''Homo sapiens'' he goes up against.
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: Spear is usual grim-faced and frowning but when he smiles it's a beautiful thing. He also has a pre-asskicking smile that usually relates to him realizing whoever thinks they're just taking him on are in for a big surprise.
* WouldHurtAChild: Played with. While he normally won't intentionally kill a child, he has no problem knocking one off a building or backhanding them in the face if they attack him. When Rikka's son jumps on him he throws him off with such force, the child is killed instantly when he hits a rock upon landing. Spear is so horrified, he is snapped out of his rage. Unfortunately the unrelenting Vikings don't let up and he's quickly driven to the brink, snapping and killing the whole village, presumably either directly or indirectly (as they won't last long without parents) including any children present during the attack.
* WrestlerOfBeasts: Spear lives in a primordial world full of {{Prehistoric Monster}}s, and often ends up facing them in melee combat. He manages to slay beasts far larger than himself due to [[TheDeterminator sheer persistence]] and [[GeniusBruiser innovative use of tools and the environment]].

[[folder:Fang]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fang_13.jpg]]
A female ''Tyrannosaurus'' who befriends Spear after she also loses her family.
----
* ActionGirl: Fang is a ferocious ''T. rex'' who can easily rip her opponents to shreds. She’s also tough to boot, able to take multiple hits and still stand her ground.
* ActionMom:
** She doesn't hold anything back when she and her babies were being confronted by the horned tyrannosaurs. Her parental instinct is what made Spear realize that she's no different when it comes to defending her young from predators when Spear himself failed to do. Unfortunately she's no longer this when her babies were devoured by the alpha.
** Brought back in full force when her twin hatchlings are born, and is as fierce as ever.
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: ZigZagged, while Fang does do some dog-like things (putting her face in Spear's to sniff his food and laying down like one), the show never makes one forget that Fang is very intelligent and a large carnivorous dinosaur that is Spear's equal rather than a pet.
* AlternateAnimalAffection: Or rather, expression. Fang obviously cannot speak, but none the less is able to understand Spear very well, and has moments of snarkiness and sass as well as affection and loyalty to Spear.
* AnimalsLackAttributes: While she plays this straight most of the time, [[spoiler:this is [[AvertedTrope averted]] in "Vidarr", where we are treated to a close-up shot of Fang laying eggs, complete with a detailed view of her cloaca]].
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: [[spoiler:After Fang lays her second clutch of eggs, she's occasionally seen sitting on top of her nest in the manner of a modern bird. Needless to say, this is highly unlikely for real tyrannosaurs on account of their mass alone, and they likely covered their nests in varying layers of soil and/or vegetation to regulate their temperature instead]].
* BigEater: Whenever food is involved, chances are that she'll tend to chow down a lot more than Spear (even on some fruit he finds!). Justified, as she's a much larger creature that would naturally require a lot more food and energy to stay alive than Spear.
* BrainsAndBrawn: Played with. Fang displays near-human level intelligence but she is far more simple in her approach to situations than Spear. She makes up for this by being the notably more powerful of the pair.
* TheComicallySerious: Given her menacing appearance, it makes her reactions in more comedic situations all the funnier.
* CowardlyLion: She's a fierce tyrannosaur and is normally anything but cowardly, but her near-death experience when fighting a giant snake gave her a phobia of anything snake-like so much that she runs in fear from a harmless earthworm.
* CurbStompBattle: After she recovers in "Scent of Prey" she slaughters the pack of hyenas who had been chasing them, delivering such an asskicking that they all run away scared.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: She's this to Spear's [[Main/TheProtagonist protagonist]]. Spear is the main character whom the story focuses on, but Fang is his closest associate and companion during their journey.
* DumbDinos: Inverted; Fang is very intelligent.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She's more selfish and callous than Spear is but when they come across the herd of uneaten dead sauropods, she's just as shocked and horrified as he is.
** She also roars and walks away in disgust at Kamau being forced to kill defenseless villagers under the Queen's orders.
** She's shocked when Red attacks and eats the Celts, refusing to do the same until they start attacking her and even then only to defend herself; she doesn't regard them as a meal the same way Red does. There's also an implication that she's never really hunted humans for food, given how ambivalent she seems to be around them when not being threatened or how her hatchlings don't regard Spear with any wariness or hostility. She is clearly considering eating Amara when she sees her but this is after months of having to kill and eat humans while fighting under Ima.
* EvilDetectingDog: Evil-Detecting ''Tyrannosaur'' in this case. She instantly senses something is wrong when they come across the dead sauropods, just the ''smell'' of them causing her shock.
* ForceAndFinesse: The force to Spear's finesse. 9 times out of 10 Fang's main tactic is to bulldoze into her enemies and overwhelm them with sheer power. This does not mean she is without skill, however; one of the main reasons she is so dangerous is she has a capacity for defense as well as offense. Against enemies that can do serious damage to her, she is capable of dodging, swerving, and avoiding their attacks. She recognizes Spear's weapons as capable of this, and in their bout for dominance in ''River of Snakes'', uses his rage against him to goad him into attacking recklessly while she avoids his attacks.
* GentleGiant: As strange as it may be, she can be very gentle when she wants, carrying an unconscious Spear out of a river in her mouth without harming him.
* GoodParents: She was shown to be a caring mother for her hatchlings. Just like with Spear, she was greatly saddened by their deaths. As such, she's very protective of her new hatchlings.
* GoombaStomp: In Terror Under the Blood Moon, she (in an awesome/humorous fashion) leaps and crushes the spines of the giant red bats that were flying directly in her path, 3 times in a row.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Fang's preferred method of killing human opponents is to simply bite them in half.
* HeroicWillpower: Seeing Spear's wounds from battling the hyenas, Fang tries to force herself to stand on her injured leg. He talks her down but she not only gets on her feet in time to save him, she manages to completely overwhelm the pack.
* InterspeciesFriendship: She is a ''Tyrannosaurus'' who is friends with Spear, a caveman.
* ItCanThink: It's made clear early on that Fang is very intelligent. She's emotive, stubborn, occasionally selfish, and capable of abstract thinking/planning.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Fang can be notably more selfish and willful than Spear, stealing his kills and leaving him to drag a large pile of meat that logically she would have a much easier time pulling (although this may be a case of her simply not understanding what Spear was trying to do, as he had probably only just invented the yoke then and there). That being said, she doesn't hesitate to risk her life to protect Spear and volunteered as a heat source to protect him from a freezing blizzard.
* KillSteal: She devoured most of the boars Spear had hunted (that was clearly his food) in the second episode. Not only that but Fang also eats it practically right in front of his face.
* KingOfTheDinosaurs: Of the "heroic badass" variety. She's a ''Tyrannosaurus'' with an enlarged fang, powerful enough to be able to kill creatures far larger than her.
* LightningBruiser: She's much larger and stronger than Spear, but is still just as fast as him.
* MadeOfIron: Fang can take a serious beating and come back from it relatively uninjured. She's been crushed between two mammoths and body-slammed by a giant spider without serious injury. Her one-sided beating from the enhanced Krog left her near death, but she was back to fighting form in a period of days. Normal human weapons are indivudally almost useless against her, with her being able to take everything from a rain of arrows or an axe to the thigh without noticeable weakness. While they can seriously weaken her through blood loss, the sheer amount of hits she has to take to be serious is ridiculous and means she'll have slaughtered her attackers long before she has to worry. [[spoiler: She even endures being set on fire by the resurrected Chieftain's fire attack!]]
* MamaBear: Fang puts up a hard fight to protect her kids. She still fails. Season 2, however, has her produce another clutch and when they cry out for her upon hatching on the Egyptian ship, she ''smashes out of a metal cage and tears through an army of Egyptian warriors'' to get to them.
* MeaningfulName: She's named after the large snaggletooth in her lower jaw.
* MightyRoar: Of course she has one, especially when she's ready for battle.
* MonsterIsAMommy: Well, she was. Spear first believes she's a bloodthirsty predator just like the dinosaurs that killed his family and wants to kill her, but seeing her babies makes him change his mind.
** She becomes a mommy again in season 2.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** When she sniffs one of the dead sauropods, which would normally be food, she recoils in disgust and horror. She is also just as terrified of the plagued sauropod as Spear is.
** Similarly, when they encounter a Saber-Tooth Cat's ''brutalized'' remains, she recognizes that a predator animal being killed so violently means something very, ''very'' dangerous is around, and she is adamant about keeping Spear away from the thing that did it.
** She falls into a deep depression after Red's death, barely acknowledging Spear and ignoring food.
* PlayingPossum: She does this to trick the giant bats into bringing her to their lair, where she knows Spear is.
* PregnantBadass: [[spoiler:Spends 3 episodes of Season 2 pregnant with Red's babies, not being deterred in her combat capacities in the slightest. She lays her eggs in the sixth episode.]]
* SapientSteed: Fang has human level intelligence and emotions and is frequently ridden into battle by Spear. Unlike most examples, she is a fully equal partner who allows Spear to ride her because it makes them a more effective fighting team or because she's just better at traversing long distances. If she's not interested in carrying him, there's exactly squat he can do to make her.
* ShownTheirWork: While there are equal amounts of ArtisticLicensePaleontology, Fang shows many characteristics that ''Tyrannosaurus'' really had.
** Like all birds and reptiles, she has a cloaca.
** Her eyes are facing forward instead of being on the side of her head like most theropods, giving her the binocular vision of modern day predators.
** Her jaws are powerful enough to rip off another ''T. rex's'' snout and bite smaller creatures clean in half on a regular basis. ''Tyrannosaurus'' really did have a bite that strong.
** Along with other tyrannosaurs in the series, she appears to be much smarter than other dinosaurs. While Fang's intelligence borders on ''human'', recent studies suggest that ''Tyrannosaurus'' was probably one of the most intelligent non-avian dinosaurs, with current estimates comparing its intelligence to modern day wolves, and possibly even ''baboons''.
** She is shown to be MadeOfIron, able to recover from beatings and injuries that would be lethal. Fossils have shown ''Tyrannosaurus'' have suffered grievous injuries and ''survived''.
** She is shown to be a capable swimmer, [[spoiler:which is also shown in her second brood]]. This may have been the case for real-life tyrannosaurs, due to their hollow bones and powerful hindlegs.
* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: [[spoiler: Her relationship with Red led to her becoming pregnant but Red died before she laid their eggs.]]
* TailSlap: Whenever she's not using her jaws, Fang uses that tail of hers for good use in combat. Although trying to use her tail as a desperate attempt against Krog wasn't a good idea as he instantly caught it before breaking her leg. Used for comedic effect when Spear is trying to sneak her eggs into a boat, where after taking them back she promptly knocks him flat on his face.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Her brow has ridges that evoke feminine eyelashes, and go up to a point in a similar shape to eyeshadow. Other than that, though, [[DownplayedTrope there's really no outward indication of her gender]]. She is also lacking the horns we see on the definitely male Red, her presumably male hatchling and the again presumably male horned tyrannosaurs.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: The Huge Girl to Spear's Tiny Guy.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She seems to have a fondness for fish, although she's not picky when it comes to eating other food.
* UnskilledButStrong: Her main terms of fighting enemies is just to viciously bite into any creature Fang can get her jaws on until they bleed, or adding more weight to her attacks for highly damaging strikes. Fang is still an intelligent predator of her kind, however when it comes to battle she'll make sure to deliver all sorts of pain with her power. Highly justified since because she is a ''T. rex'', is very large, and has her own natural weapons whilst her partner Spear is more adaptable and strategic to desperate situations.
* YourSizeMayVary: All the animals in this series have fairly fluid sizes but Fang is the most egregious example given she's a main character. Her size changes constantly, not just episode to episode or scene to scene but shot to shot. Sometimes she's only 8 or 9 feet tall, in the next shot she dwarfs a real ''Tyrannosaurus''. The general approach the show takes is that she's as big as the shot needs her to be. The only out of show statement on her size comes form an adultswim bumper saying she's 40 feet long and weighs 10 tonnes (approximately real 'T''. ''rex'' size).
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Due to experiencing the river of snakes, Fang comes to fear snakes. So much so that she even gets scared of an earthworm (another legless creature) because it reminds her of a snake. Spear tries to show her there's nothing to fear, to no avail. He then proceeds to eat it.

[[folder:Mira]]
[[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mira_1.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:240:[[labelnote:Click here to see her before her enslavement]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mira_hair.png[[/labelnote]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Laetitia Eido-Mollon
A ''Homo sapiens'' (modern human) woman whom Spear and Fang save from a pliosaur and later befriend.
----
* ActionGirl: Mira is a capable survivor, archer and fighter, and can pull her own weight during her adventures with Spear and Fang.
%%* AmazonianBeauty: Not as bulky or overtly muscular as others, but she does have an athletic and defined build, and can be just as much of a warrior as Spear.
* BadassNormal: She never exhibits the same level of CharlesAtlasSuperpower as Spear, but she makes do with her modern cunning.
* BarefootCaptives: It's unknown whether her people wore shoes or sandals, but by the time she meets Spear and Fang she has nothing on her feet.
* BareYourMidriff: When enslaved by the Egyptian queen, her GoGoEnslavement has this as a feature.
* TheDeterminator: Swam miles of monster-infested ocean to escape her slavers while still heavily manacled.
* DoesNotSpeakCommon: All of her dialogue is in Arabic, while the show's audience are presumed to be English-speakers. As she's the first character in the series to any dialogue at all, and accompanies most of her dialogue with visual aids, she is, unlike most characters who fit this trope, the ''least'' [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible]] character in the series prior to the appearance of the Historical Society.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: She is unsatisfied with eating raw meat, and cooks up a stew from it and some vegetables she finds, though this probably has more to do with her status as a proper ''Homo Sapiens'' than her sex. Spear is very confused by the idea, but Fang is enticed by the smell and eagerly gobbles it up.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: When hunting a feathered oviraptorsaur dinosaur, Spear first tries to stab it with his spear, and Mira fires an arrow from her newly-constructed bow. Downplayed in that Spear also throws his spear, but it doesn't have much finesse. It's also justified because Spear has clearly never even seen this sort of advanced weapon before, and he later manages to use the bow perfectly fine (with his spear as the arrow). Played straighter in Season 2, where she defaults to the bow and arrow as a weapon of choice.
* HeartbrokenBadass: She's a capable survivor [[spoiler:who was forced to watch as a Viking struck down her lover, before she was choked out, captured, and painfully branded.]]
* InterspeciesRelationship: [[spoiler: With Spear at the end of the series, the two producing a daughter together]].
* KnightOfCerebus: Barring the midpoint two-episode arc, Season 1 is a chiefly episodic package, but Mira's entrance introduces a more serialized narrative that defines Season 2.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: She is shown in the Season 1 finale as a new ally to Spear and Fang.
* MadeASlave: Relates to Spear how she used to have a normal life in a village before an outside civilization [[RapePillageAndBurn raided her village]] and enslaved those they had not killed. It happened again when she, Fang, ans Spear were captured by the Egyptians.
* MeaningfulName: Her name means "Kindness" in several languages, and she's the first unfailingly benevolent force that Spear and Fang meet. In addition, her name can mean "Ocean" or "Boundry" in Sanskrit, [[spoiler:with the civilization that captured her being from across the ocean]].
* TheMedic: Mira is seen applying some sort of salve to the numerous wounds Fang sustains fighting the Viking villagers.
* MelancholyMoon: Her people appear to have worshipped the Moon, as she not only prays to it at night, but the symbolism of the crescent moon means enough to her that it was included in her pictograms depicting her capture.
* NiceGirl: She very quickly befriends Spear and Fang once she realizes they're not a threat and consistently treats them as equals [[spoiler:despite coming from a more advanced civilization]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her noble insistence that Spear help the other slaves escape in "Dawn of Man" rather than just her as he originally intended slows down their escape enough for the main Viking forces to return to the village, cornering the protagonists and indirectly forcing them to [[spoiler:commit a massacre]] in the following episode.
* NubileSavage: Downplayed and Inverted: [[UnkemptBeauty She is not ugly but also not well groomed]], [[spoiler:and she isn't even a savage, but comes from a more advanced civilization that was enslaved by invaders]].
* OneHeadTaller: She already has a long neck and stands a head taller than Spear since Neanderthals were kinda short.
* OutsideContextProblem: Not Mira herself, as she gets along with Fang and Spear just fine, but her introduction shows that there is a whole wide world out there that is more advanced than the primitive dinosaur-infested world. Mira has the ability to speak a language, the knowledge to season and cook food, knowing the psychology of animals like Fang with how she lures her up a mountain with food, the hinting of religion, shown when she seems to pray to the moon, and the chains and collar on her suggest that there are civilizations that have surpassed the Stone Age and perhaps even the Bronze Age. Civilizations that, if Mira's drawings are accurate, Fang and Spear will have to deal with.
* RealityHasNoSubtitles: The first character to actually speak, but in completely untranslated Arabic. Thankfully, she also draws out what she's saying with a stick into the sand so it's still possible for Spear and the audience to pick up what she's saying.
* ReligionIsMagic: Averted. Spear is even confused when it appears, unlike how it was with the witch coven from season 1, that her worshipping of the Moon doesn't seem to do anything when he tries it himself.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: [[spoiler:The large horned figure she drew alongside the scorpion insignia is revealed to have not been referring to a large horned bein but rather a Viking wearing a horned helmet and carrying a scorpion insignia, who was responsible for slaying her lover. It just so happens that there's an actual powerful demonic entity that greatly resembles her drawing.]]
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:She eventually becomes one to Spear, having a child by him after he dies of his wounds from his fight with the demonic Chieftain.]]
* SheCleansUpNicely: For most of the show, she's a slave dressed in plain rags and wearing no makeup or jewels. After she's captured by the Egyptians, she's [[GoGoEnslavement forced]] to wear a golden, [[BareYourMidriff midriff-baring]] outfit with earrings and a slight mascara, accentuating her beauty.
* ShesGotLegs: She has long, thin legs as her white minidress shows.
* TheSilentBob: Unable to teach Spear her language, she usually doesn't say much during their travels, mostly communicating through gestures. Averts this with her own people as she becomes easily the most talkative character in the show.
* SlaveBrand: The back of her head is tattooed with a stylized scorpion, a symbol associated with those who enslaved her [[spoiler:as seen on the sail of the ship that recaptures her]]. [[spoiler:A flashback in "Echoes of Eternity" reveals that it's not a tattoo, but a ''burn brand''.]]
* SlaveCollar: First appears wearing a large wooden stockade-style collar.
* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: [[spoiler: Spear succumbs to the injuries he sustains fighting the empowered Chieftain in the finale of Season 2, but it's revealed at the very end that he and Mira had conceived a child after the battle.]]
* StatuesqueStunner: She's not at all bad looking and she's almost a whole foot taller than Spear and even slightly taller than several of her fellow slaves shown later on.
* SuddenlySpeaking: Halfway through the Season 1 finale, she suddenly says her own name. Therefore, she is the first character in the series to actually speak, though all of her dialogue is in Arabic.
* SupportPartyMember: Though she does what she can to assist in combat, she mostly supports the duo with a number of advanced societal skills such as medicine, sailing, navigation, carpentry, and cooking.
* ThroughHisStomach: Fang starts to tolerate her after tasting some of the food she makes, ironically liking it a lot more than Spear. Whose species is thought to have specifically used spices to make the raw meat he enjoys more palatable.
* TraumaticHaircut: [[spoiler: She used to have short black hair until she was enslaved by Vikings, who shaved and branded her head.]]
* {{Tritagonist}}: Once she reunites and joins with Spear and Fang in season 2, Mira becomes the third most focused character in the show.
* UglyGuyHotWife: [[spoiler:She and Spear don't marry in the traditional sense, but they do have this kind of relationship by the end of the series, with her being a tall and fairly attractive woman and him being a stereotypical Neanderthal-like caveman. It's especially pronounced when they conceive their child, as Spear is covered in horrific burn scars by that point.]]
* {{Worldbuilding}}: She shows that modern humans exist in this world.

!!Family members
[[folder:Spear's Family]]
[[quoteright:325:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spear_family.jpg]]
Spear's wife, daughter, and son.
----
* DeathByOriginStory: They die in the first few minutes of the first episode. Spear meets Fang in the first place because he mistakes her for one of the dinosaurs that killed his family, leading to the entire plot of the series.
* DeathOfAChild: Both of Spear's children are eaten by the horned tyrannosaurs.
* NotEnoughToBury: They are devoured whole by tyrannosaurs, leaving nothing but bloodstains on the grass.
* NubileSavage: Spear's wife looks a lot more like a modern human compared to her Neanderthal-like husband, with an appearance very close to modern beauty standards.

[[folder:Spear's Father]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spear_father.png]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [=Aaron LaPlante=]

The leader of a tribe of primitive cave-dwelling humans, and father to Spear.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: One of the sabre-tooth cats rips off his left arm before the rest of the group mauls him to death.
* DoNotGoGentle: He puts up a good fight before the sabre-tooth cats finish him off by ganging up on him.
* GoodParents: What little we see of him has him showing Spear how to make cave art while loving patting his son on the head as he smiles up at him.
* FrazettaMan: Whereas Spear looks like a Neanderthal human, his father is visibly less evolved and practically resembles a gorilla from the neck up. He even has ape-like canines.
* PosthumousCharacter: Long dead by the start of the series.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When angry his eyes turn red and his sclerae [[BlackEyesOfCrazy turns black]].
* UnnamedParent: Assuming he even ''has'' a name, he's only credited as "Spear's Dad".

[[folder:Spear's New Child ('''Unmarked Spoilers!''')]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spear_daughter.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Lilah Tartakovsky
Spear's second daughter, conceived by Mira on his deathbed.
----
* DisappearedDad: Her father never lived to meet her.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Heavily {{Downplayed}} - she's the daughter of a Neanderthal and a Human, with Neanderthals either being a very closely related Hominid species from humans or a subspecies of the greater ''Homo sapiens'' species. TruthInTelevision as well, as it's well known that Neanderthals and Modern Humans were known to have interbred before the former went extinct.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: She makes her only appearance at the end of the GrandFinale after a TimeSkip.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: A daughter variant. She is a wild haired spear wielder bonded to a female ''Tyrannosaurus''.
* PosthumousSibling: She was born well after the deaths of her half siblings.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: She has her mother's taller build and general features but her father's hair mixed with aspects of his facial structure.

[[folder:Fang's Babies]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fangs_babies.jpg]]
Fang's two nestlings.
----
* ChildrenAreInnocent: While they're afraid of Spear at first, once he helps Fang kill most of the attacking tyrannosaurs, they come over and play with him.
* CuteLittleFangs: Both of the baby tyrannosaurs sport a stubbier version of their mother's enlarged snaggletooth.
* DeathOfAChild: The two of them are eaten by the alpha tyrannosaur.
* DisappearedDad: It's unclear what happened to their father/Fang's original mate, though it's possible that male tyrannosaurs in this universe simply don't participate in the rearing of their young. Although it's also plausible he died prior to the events of the series, considering [[DeathWorld the nature of this world]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Red]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1661225327626784.jpg]]
A male ''Tyrannosaurus'' that Fang meets when she gets separated from Spear and becomes her mate.
----
* AlternateAnimalAffection: He licks Fang's face after some fruit gets smeared on her face, and later sleeps with Fang's head on his body.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's unknown if he's a member of a different species or subspecies of ''Tyrannosaurus'' than Fang or if his red and grey coloration is the result of sexual dimorphism. [[spoiler:"The Colossaeus, Part II" all but confirms they were two distinct species/subspecies as their young have a patchwork of his and Fang's colors unlike her previous brood.]]
* AntiVillain: He sees nothing wrong with [[spoiler:eating the Celtic villagers and trying to kill Spear, because unlike Fang he never formed any sort of bond with humans, and as such he doesn't consider his actions different than killing any other animal for food. If anything, he's only acting like a normal tyrannosaur would, whereas Fang's perspective comes from her unique life experiences]].
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's largely submissive to Fang at first and quickly befriends her. He even has a few silly moments during the time they bond. But make no mistake: he's still a ''T. rex'', and is every bit as ferocious of a predator as you'd expect.
* BizarreSexualDimorphism: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]: if he is anything to go by, the male ''Tyrannosaurus'' of this world are distinguished by a ridge on the snout and spiky protrusions on the neck and tail. His more brightly colored head also reflects real world birds (ie peacocks and birds of paradise) having smaller males with more colorful plumage. Although this may be more due to him being a different subspecies as his and Fang's young don't have a consistant color pattern as them, with what appears to be the ''female'' offspring inheriting his red head. His nasal bump is also much smaller than the horns that his son has as an adult, implying that this is a trait that came from Fang's species.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: He's friendly and even a bit shy around another tyrannosaur such as Fang who becomes his mate, but he's also an apex predator who sees nothing immoral about hunting down sentient humans as another source of meat, and he cannot grasp why Fang tries to protect the single "piece of meat" that is Spear.
* EndearinglyDorky: The ''T. rex'' version, but he is clearly this to Fang. He is quite shy around her at first, and kind of a goofball. Special mention goes to when after Fang catches falling leaves on her snout, Red tries to do the same and gets a leaf stuck on his face, covering his eyes and making him bump into a tree.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:As he's almost about to swallow Spear, Fang pushes him off and accidentally into a large wooden spear she didn't see that impales him through his stomach and kills him.]]
* KingOfTheDinosaurs: Though he's a bit shy and submissive around Fang, when it comes to combat he's a powerful juggernaut like one would expect from a tyrannosaur. Notably, out of all non-supernatural characters, he gets the closest to [[spoiler:killing Spear]].
* MadeOfIron: Unsurprising for someone who becomes Fang's mate, he's extremely tough. During the attack on the Celtic village, he not only takes multiple spear wounds but goes up against Spear in a free for all brawl through the village which has him stabbed constantly, crashing through stone huts, caught in an explosion and smashed across the face with a rock. He's not only able to keep going without any drop in effectiveness, he ultimately has Spear dead to rights in a way only Fang herself has managed before.
* PoorCommunicationKills: After bonding with Fang, he takes her [[spoiler:to the same village that took in Spear. Despite Fang's efforts to stop them from killing each other, Red fails to see Spear as anything else but a particularly nasty prey that fights back, and in return Spear sees him merely as a bloodthirsty predator, both of them ignoring what she's trying to communicate. This in the end leads to Red getting impaled on a stick and killed]].
* QuizzicalTilt: Stands on top on what seems to be his "lair", and examines Fang below him by displaying shades of curiosity by slightly shifting his head steadily as he continuously gazes upon her.
* RedIsViolent: The entirety of his head is a deep crimson (sans the rest of his grey/brown-ish body) who [[spoiler:went out his way to deviously munch on the Celtic villagers and ''almost murdered'' Spear.]]
* SecondLove: He's obviously a different male than the one who fathered Fang's brood that got killed by the horned tyrannosaurs, but he gets very intimate with Fang, [[spoiler:even fathering another brood]].
* SpikesOfVillainy: Has several tiny spiked protrusions running down his neck with some of them around the tip of his tail but he doesn't become hostile towards Fang when he sees her for the first time and actually grows fond of her... That is until he started [[spoiler:feasting on Celtic civilians while also trying to kill Spear.]]
* StealthHiBye: After getting spotted by Fang, he leaves her sights instantly as soon as Fang tries to find him, only to be seen being perched on the rock formations.
* TemporaryLoveInterest: He becomes quite affectionate with Fang, feeding and sleeping together with her almost as if it was a romantic date. Unfortunately, it doesn't last, [[spoiler:as Red attacks the Celtic village and nearly kills Spear, forcing Fang to fight and accidentally kill Red. The episode "Vidarr" would even reveal that the two mated and Fang got pregnant as a result.]]
* ToServeMan: He's an active hunter of the Celts, sneaking into their village and preying on them, which first confuses Fang who doesn't become involved until he's injured. [[spoiler:He almost had Spear becoming his very next meal if it weren't for Fang rescuing the neanderthal by shoving the predator out of the way.]]
* UseYourHead: Whacks his cranium directly into Spear at one point during his fight with him.

[[folder:Fang's New Babies]]
[[quoteright:330:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fangs_new_babies.jpg]]
The new clutch Fang lays in season 2.
----
* BadassAdorable: Fang's babies are adorable. They also chow down on Egyptian soldiers fresh out of their eggs.
* DeathOfAChild: One of the eggs is broken and destroyed during the ensuing fight aboard the boat.
* DisappearedDad: Their father Red dies long before they are even born.
* GentleGiant: Some time after the TimeSkip, they become full-grown adults and are gentle with Mira. One of them allows Mira and Spear's daughter to ride it.
* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: Fang's daughter forms a bond with Spear's daughter, just as her mother did with Spear.
* PatchworkKids: Mildly; of the two who survive, one has Fang's color scheme in the front and Red's in the back with Red's skull shape, and the other has the inverse. Their stripe patterns and horns don't quite come from either parent, however. The similarities become more pronounced when they're older.
* PosthumousSibling: They were born well after the deaths of their half siblings.
* ShownTheirWork: Fang's babies, barely a day or two old, are shown attacking and devouring an Egyptian soldier. It's likely young tyrannosaurs were precocial and able to feed themselves at birth, only relying on their parents to lead them to food and for protection.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: As adults, apart from their colors they clearly take after their parents. Both possess an enlarged tooth, with the male having similar horns as his father and the female being almost identical to Fang.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Downplayed being that they're ''predatory'' dinosaurs, and clearly imitating their mother's behavior, but when an injured Egyptian soldier lands in front of them, they quickly start mauling him despite being less than a day old.

!!Humans
[[folder:The Celtic Tribe]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/celtic_tribe_primaljpg.jpg]]
A small community of Celtic tribesmen who find Spear washed up on a beach nearby their settlement, taking him in and nursing him back to health.
----
* BarbarianLonghair: The men of the village all have shoulder-length hair, often [[BraidsOfBarbarism braided]] and combined with [[BeardOfBarbarism long beards]].
* {{Brave Scot}}s: They're a tribe of honorable and compassionate warriors.
* DarkIsNotEvil: The druidess of the village is a hideous-looking wrinkly crone, resembling a stereotypical WickedWitch not unlike those in the Coven of the Damned, who repeatedly whips Spear with a burning branch. However, she's a benevolent medicine woman, and the pain was simply part of her healing Spear's dislocated arm.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Spear awakes in their healing hut to find himself covered in dung and being glared at by a sinister-looking old druidess. Understandably, he panics, knocking over the druidess' potions and starting a fire. Again understandably, this alarms the tribesmen, who begin chasing Spear and shouting at him in a language he can't understand. It's only with the intervention of their Chief that they manage to come to an understanding.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: They only appear in one episode, but Spear's encounter with them is what seems to put the idea in his head that he doesn't fit in with other humans anymore, which is what leads to him [[spoiler: making his house painting in the finale, with the figure representing him standing completely alone, which is what inspires Mira to have sex with the mortally-wounded Spear in order to give him a child to carry on his legacy.]]
* TribalFacePaint: The men of the tribe wear blue war paint on their faces and upper bodies.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: The men of the village only wear shorts or {{loincloth}}s, with only blue body paint on their upper body.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Is féidir leat fanacht linn."''[[note]]"You can stay with us."[[/note]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Adam Fergus
The Chief of the Celtic Tribe. Unlike his subjects, he's quick to recognize that Spear is intelligent and can be reasoned with, and the two begin to form a bond.
----
* BlingOfWar: Wears a golden torc, an important piece of jewelry for warriors in Celtic societies.
* DoesNotSpeakCommon: Thus far, the only character in the main timeline apart from Mira to have dialogue, and like her, he does not deliver it in the audience's native English, speaking Gaellic instead.
* LeaveYourQuestTest: Offers to let Spear stay and live among his tribe, but Spear silently refuses.
* NiceGuy: From what we can tell he's a very amiable person and quickly befriends Spear.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He realizes that Spear is not a vicious savage, telling his tribesmen not to kill him and then placating the terrified caveman, offering him food, drink and a cure for his dislocated arm. He also offers Spear a place among his people and does not try to stop him when he refuses.

[[folder:The Vikings]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/primalvikings.png]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [=Aaron LaPlante=], Creator/DarinDePaul
A band of marauders, they are responsible for raiding multiple villages to enslave their people. Mira is among the slaves they own.
----
* ArmyOfThievesAndWhores: They seem to make most of their living off of enslaving people from other villages, and we see the devastating aftermath of one of their raids from a pillaged village that Spear comes across.
* AssholeVictim: Their more [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes humanizing qualities]] aside, their slaughter by Spear and Fang doesn’t earn them much sympathy, given that they go around murdering and enslaving people without remorse for seemingly no reasons other than the fact that they can and [[BlueAndOrangeMorality their culture encourages it]].
* BarbarianTribe: They are a tribe of marauding warriors [[PeltsOfTheBarbarian dressed in pelts]] and wielding spears and battleaxes.
* TheBeastmaster: The first tribe to have domesticated mounts, but rather than horses they're gigantic cave bears.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Just like the real-life Vikings, their morals and values are both quite different from the main characters and [[ValuesDissonance modern day audiences]]. They're slavers that value combat and bravery, but they also have great amount of love and compassion for others of their kind. They're not really even hypocrites, because their standards are separate from our own.
* BullyingADragon: In an attempt to get their slaves back, they continue to press Spear and Fang into a corner more and more, hoping they'll fold, despite seeing just how violent the two of them are capable of being. This results in Spear and Fang ''snapping'' and wiping out the Vikings' entire village in a blind rage.
* DetrimentalDetermination: Their {{Determinator}} tendencies are heavily {{Deconstructed}}. The idea of quitting or stopping their actions before the cost becomes too much for them never seems to enter their head as a collective whole. Their members continue attacking Spear and Fang -- even driving them backwards into the village when they were attempting to exit it at first -- no matter how many of them they mow through, even including their elderly and young children in attacking the duo, much to Spear's horror. Rikka's youngest son continues attacking Spear even when he runs out of arrows, apparently not even considering how poor an idea it was to attack a [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower super-strong]] Caveman close-range, which understandably leads to his accidental death. Even when the duo try to flee again mid-fight after slaughtering around half the village, the remaining ones continue attacking them until they reach their RageBreakingPoint, and some of the villagers are only seen trying to flee when their numbers have been reduced almost to nothing. The Chieftain still has his oldest son alive by the end, but rather than accepting that part of his family remains alive, he has his son armour up with him and prepare to hunt down Spear and Fang, risking his surviving kin's life to avenge those deceased. This trait was hinted at back in Season one, as the Vikings apparently went out of their way to track down Mira, a sole escaped slave, in a hostile land after she escape from them on open sea, rather than letting her go. [[spoiler:Mira's translated dialogue about her backstory and her flashback show she was being taken to be sold when she escaped. She was one of (as we later see) many slaves but they went to such extremes to recapture ''one''. It speaks volumes to the Vikings' stubbornness that they refused to let her go despite the risks.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: They deeply care for their own families despite otherwise being unsympathetic slavers. Those who remain from Spear and Fang's rampage after they snap are left overcome with grief.
* EverybodysDeadDave: The Viking tribe is almost completely wiped out, and when the Chieftain and Eldar see the chaos left behind they don't see anyone still alive.
* FatalFlaw: Their collective one is stubbornness. None of them are willing to try taking a step back when things start to go wrong or consider any options that involve standing down in any way, even when it's blatantly obvious that not doing so is likely to get them killed. They brought Spear and Fang down on their heads because they weren't willing to allow one lone slave escape from them and in the end they all died because they weren't willing to stop attacking foes who were tearing through them like paper.
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Their refusal to give up on reclaiming Mira, one single slave, ultimately leads to them being slaughtered by Spear and Fang when they come to set her free.
* HornyVikings: Some of them have the appearance of brutish Nordic warriors with fur capes and horned helmets. Justified because, well, [[ShapedLikeItself they are]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: An example [[AlasPoorVillain played for tragedy]]. Spear and Fang end up getting driven into a blind rage that leads to them slaughtering the Vikings' entire village, leaving the survivors with the same intense grief that the victims of their raids likely felt.
* MoralMyopia: They commit a myriad of needless cruelties with little concern but anytime ''they'' have to face such things in turn it's an unforgivable offense.
* PaperTiger: It becomes clear very quickly that they are not used to fighting hardened warriors or large beasts. Despite their intimidating appearance and dinosaur-sized bear mounts, they go down in droves when fighting just Spear and Fang. One of them even flees for his life when Spear kills his partner. Individually only Rikka seems in any way impressive, being able to throw an axe with enough force to embed it in Fang's thigh before driving a spear into her snout. Even she is quickly and brutally slaughtered. It's only through sheer numbers that they can pose a real threat to Spear and Fang.
* RedHerring: [[spoiler:The Chieftain's reaction to the demonic being reveals that the Vikings don't even know about his existence as was initially implied. Their scorpion insignia isn't even in reference to the entity. It's just that Mira happened to depict the Viking that slew her lover as a large featureless horned entity, which just so happens to exist.]]
* SympatheticMurderer: The Vikings are raiders who attack other tribes, slaughter their people and take the survivors as slaves. Given the reaction of Mira and her people, slaves live in deep fear of their oppressors. Yet they are still fathers, mothers, sons and daughters, and everything they do is for their community. So it's hard not to feel ''something'' for them when they force Spear and Fang to snap, brutally wiping out their entire village. The only survivors are left mourning their dead and overcome with the same grief the protagonists faced at the start of their journey.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: The Vikings who came across Spear thought they could intimidate him. Then they saw Fang and thought they could take her on. They were quickly proven wrong on both counts. The same happens with the villagers, with their attempt to recapture the slaves and kill the invaders leading to their whole tribe being wiped out.

[[folder:The Chieftain]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chieftain.png]]
[[quoteright:350:]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see the Chieftain empowered]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chief_resurrected.png[[/labelnote]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/FredTatasciore
The leader of the marauders who enslaved Mira and many others. He and his eldest son, named [[ADogNamedDog Eldar]], arrived back to their home only to discover that everyone, including his wife and his youngest son, were brutally slaughtered by Spear and Fang. He becomes obsessed with revenge and vows to kill all who were responsible.
----
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: Despite killing Spear, the Chieftain gets dragged back to Hell and he never reunites with his family in the afterlife. His obsession with vengeance has cost him everything. And to add further insult to injury, his sworn enemy now has a daughter living happily.]]
* ArchEnemy: To Spear, Fang and Mira.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The Chieftain is the Vikings' leader and proves to be one of the most difficult opponents Spear has faced. However, like his wife, he doesn't stand any real chance against Fang in a straightforward fight.
* BigBad: More or less the main antagonist of the second season, with his desire for vengeance being one of the long-running plot points. Even when relegated to the background during the Colossaeus arc, his threat looms. He is also responsible for kidnapping Mira, killing some of her friends, having her lover murdered and enslaving her people in the first place. The Chieftain is the main threat in Spear and Fang's story as his recapture of Mira in the first season finale is the cause of the duo's quest to rescue her and her people and return her home.
* TheBlank: [[spoiler: Much like his new master, the transformed Chieftain has no face beyond a pair of glowing orange eyes. Though he does briefly take on his original face in his final battle with Spear and Fang.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler: After the Chieftain dies, the demon yanks him from the afterlife and implicitly promises to give him the power he needs to finally kill Spear and Fang. The cost is being ReforgedIntoAMinion.]]
* DemonOfHumanOrigin: [[spoiler: After pledging his loyalty to demon, the entity transforms the Chieftain into an infernal being similar to itself.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: The Chieftain is on the verge of this after he finds his village and kin slaughtered, with it being made clear that [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Eldar's presence]] is the only thing helping him keep it together. When his son [[DisneyVillainDeath dies violently]] before his eyes the Chieftain just gives up entirely and allows the river currents to sweep him away and underneath in an attempt to [[TogetherInDeath join his people in death]]. He recovers and gets much worse when the demon yanks him into his realm.]]
* DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler:Once he completes his quest to kill Spear, he is dragged screaming back to Hell by the same entity that granted him his powers.]]
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: [[spoiler: The Chieftain is introduced as a badass Viking warrior. Then he pledges loyalty to the demon to get a second shot at revenge against Spear and Fang and is turned into a HumanoidAbomination capable of forming destructive weapons out of magma.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Slavers though they might be, they were a legitimately close family, and the deaths of Rikka and the youngest son completely devastate them and put them on the warpath against Spear and Fang. [[spoiler:After Eldar is killed, the Chieftain loses the will to live and lets himself drown in a river so that he can rejoin his family. And when the demon yanks him from a trip to sky and gives him the chance to take revenge on his family's killers, he jumps at the chance to avenge what he's lost.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even before he realized Rikka and his youngest son were dead, he was clearly disturbed by the massacre of his village.
* EvilIsBigger: Not only is he taller than Spear, [[spoiler:once he becomes the demon's minion he's even taller than Fang and possibly Kamau]].
* EvilCounterpart: He clearly has many parallels with Spear. For one, they both had a family of four, is often with their oldest sons, and loved their wives dearly. Spear losing his family made him close to the DespairEventHorizon and the Chieftain already went past it. Their closures even differ. Spear killing the ''Tyrannosaurus'' that killed his family gave him the closure he needed. The Chieftain got his revenge, but he gets DraggedOffToHell despite his power.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:His fate is him getting dragged off by the demonic entity into Hell, presumably to be tormented for eternity. Made even worse by the fact that the same entity denied him a peaceful death and reunion with his loved ones.]]
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:The last enemy that Spear and Fang fight together, which leads to the former's death.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Spear. Both are driven to revenge after their families are killed but while Spear realises how hollow vengeance is, the Chieftain becomes ever more obsessed and every loss makes him fall deeper into the well.
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:The Chieftain succeeds in killing Spear after burning him with his flames.]]
* InvincibleVillain: [[spoiler:Spear and Fang never defeat his empowered form in the traditional sense, on account of him being basically a giant made of fire and thus untouchable through conventional means. Instead, the Chieftain is dragged to Hell by the entity that empowered him, presumably because the entity sensed that Spear's wounds were fatal and thus the Chieftain's revenge had been fulfilled.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:The Chieftain was a slaver in life, and in death, he ends up becoming the slave of a much crueler master.]]
* MadeOfIron: In stark contrast to the other vikings, the Chieftain is tough as nails. Between his armor, large stature and skill, he takes several hard hits from Spear and survives a bite from Fang that split his villagers in two. He also survives being thrown off a giant bird, crashing into multiple trees and smashing his head on a rock. Eldar in contrast is, while clearly skilled, not built like his father and ultimately dies from a similar fall.
* MagmaMan: [[spoiler:The Chieftain is turned into nearly featureless giant that is constantly on fire and can manifest weapons out of magma after he pledges loyalty to the demon. For further emphasis, he emerges back into the world of the living in a manner not too dissimilar to a miniature volcanic eruption.]]
* MoralMyopia: The Chieftain and Eldar mourn the deaths of their community and then go after Spear and Fang in revenge, seemingly not realizing that they have just endured the same pain that they likely subjected numerous villages too. They had even arrived late because they were busy gathering more slaves.
* ParentChildTeam: A father and son duo on a quest for vengeance, both using all the resources at their disposal to battle the trio.
* PragmaticVillainy: The Chieftain and Eldar free their captured slaves once they return to the village and find that everyone there has been slaughtered, not out of any kindness, but because there was no viking village ''left'' for them to utilize/exploit the slaves in any meaningful way.
* PunchClockVillain: The Chieftain and Eldar's actions imply that raiding settlements and enslaving their people is simply just a business operation for their tribe. Once they change their objective to hunting down those that slaughtered their community, they have no problems freeing the slaves they brought with them -- albeit, simply because [[PragmaticVillainy they had no further use for them]]. Regardless, they at least don't kill the slaves as a means of getting rid of them, but it's made bluntly clear they really don't have [[NoSympathy any true kindness]] towards them either (shown especially by the haughty DeathGlare Eldar throws them as he tosses them the key).
* RapePillageAndBurn: He's the leader of a fierce group of slavers.
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:After the Chieftain pledges his loyalty to the demon upon being dragged away from the Valkyries, the demonic entity literally burns away his humanity, leaving him nothing more than a large, nearly-featureless HumanoidAbomination that's constantly on fire, capable of creating weapons made of magma (according to a promo), and completely dedicated to wreaking vengeance against Spear and Fang.]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: The Chieftain losing his entire village, along with is beloved wife and youngest son, makes his a parallel to Spear's own tragic loss at the beginning of the story. However, unlike him, he was fortunate enough to have one of his sons with him on his trip, and thus he still has family alive when he discovers the loss of his home and family. However, rather than be grateful for what he still has, the Chief and Eldar arm themselves and prepare to hunt down Spear and Fang in revenge for their losses, rather than accepting them as a consequence of their slaving. [[spoiler:This ultimately results in Eldar's avoidable death and the Chieftain completely giving up the fight and [[DespairEventHorizon the will to live]], allowing his badly-battered body to be swept away by the river currents in an attempt to join the rest of his people only for his chance to be yanked when the Demon gives him the choice to go after Spear and Fang in a new demonic form. And his determination to get revenge still after losing everything ends with him DraggedOffToHell by the Demon that gave him his power, presumably to be tormented for eternity flat-out denying anything close to a happy ending for him.]]
* ScaledUp: [[spoiler:He transforms into a giant snake during his final battle with Spear]] in order to climb a cliff.
* ScissorsCutsRock: [[spoiler: One would think that the Chieftain's transformation into a monster composed of flame and magma would make him vulnerable to water. It doesn't, he is able to walk on the surface of water without hesitation.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: [[spoiler:Is apparently one of the abilities granted to him by his demonic transformation, [[ScaledUp seeing as he transforms into a giant snake during his final battle with Spear.]]]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eldar.png]]
[[quoteright:350:]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/FredTatasciore
The Chieftain's eldest son who helped his father and the other Vikings enslave Mira and many other tribes. Later, when Eldar and his father arrived back to their home they only discover that everyone, including their family, were brutally slaughtered by Spear and Fang.
----
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Despite not being as strong as his father and not being presented as anything other than a primitive human teenager, Eldar is still strong enough that he can chew through ropes ''with his teeth''.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Eldar falls to his doom when Spear pushes him off the giant vulture he was riding on and falls down on a boulder near a river.
* TheDragon: To his father. The two traveled the seas gathering slaves together, and in battle he supports his father with a barrage of arrows to keep the primary threats distracted.
* {{Gonk}}: Downplayed, as his facial features are akin to his younger brother and mother, so they aren't in-and-of-themselves odd, but his face is depicted as disproportionately small compared to the head it adorns due to the style of the show.
* MeaningfulName: Eldar is the ''eldest'' son in the Chieftain's family.
* PetTheDog: After burying the dead, Eldar frees the slaves they were bringing over to the village, if only so that they can use the boat in order to give the deceased members of their family a proper VikingFuneral.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Eldar looks pretty similar to his mother Rikka and younger brother.
* UncertainDoom: The Chieftain sees Eldar trapped in a lava flow in Hell, spurring his decision to accept the DealWithTheDevil. Whether this is Eldar's actual fate, a deceitful vision used to manipulate his father, or something else is never revealed.
* WouldHitAGirl: Eldar is okay with harming Mira and willing to kill her without mercy.

The Viking Chieftain's wife and mother of his children. While her husband is away on slave raids, she leads the village in his stead, and fearlessly charges into the fray herself when it comes under threat.
----
* ActionMom: She's a warrior woman with two children.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: She leads the Vikings alongside her husband, and she deals the most physical damage to Fang as an independent entity compared to the rest of the Vikings. Unfortunately, it still wasn't enough to get Fang to stumble, and she dies for her efforts.
* DarkActionGirl: In the sense that she's in charge of a village that makes their living off of invading other villages and enslaving their people, though she's presented more as a protective warrior than actually wicked.

[[folder:The Egyptians]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/egyptians3.png]]
A sea-faring, warmongering culture based on Ancient Egyptians.
----
* FacelessMooks: The regular foot soldiers wear masks that make them look all the same.
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: They clearly are inspired in Ancient Egypt, only they travel in massive ships instead. They also bring to mind the real-life [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Peoples Sea Peoples]], mysterious seafaring raiders which invaded coastal nations such as Ancient Egypt and are speculated to have contributed to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Bronze_Age_collapse Late Bronze Age collapse]]. A civilization more directly based on the Sea People show up later, and are shown to have their own Colossaeus and can fight the Egyptians on more or less even footing, although they are eventually defeated.
* {{Foil}}: To the Vikings. Both practice slavery and are vicious and unrelenting in battle, willing to fight to the last no matter how many losses they take. But they differ in their responses to aggression. The Vikings had a severe case of MoralMyopia, regarding themselves as blameless victims and fully justified in lashing out at anyone who responds to them in kind, and ultimately got themselves killed because [[TheDeterminator they weren't willing to walk away from a losing battle in favor of sheer stubbornness]] and were largely stationary despite their seafaring abilities. The Viking also exhibit [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes great sympathy for their own and mourn their fallen]]. The Egyptians treat their hostilities as NothingPersonal, having no issue working with Spear and Fang who quickly start accruing a big death toll of their own and seem to [[WeHaveReserves treat said losses as simply a natural consequence of their ambitions]]. They happily go into battle where they die in droves but they try to be tactical in the hope of claiming victory and making said deaths worth something. And the whole of them are mobile, courtesy of living on a MobileCity ship.
* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: While the real Ancient Egyptians did form a powerful empire in their prime, they ended up getting conquered by multiple foreign powers afterwards. Here, this historic trend is reversed as they're able to sail the world and defeat Babylonians, Philistines, Ancient Chinese/Huns, Medieval Bretons, and Romans in the span of roughly a year or slightly less (at least long enough for a captured leopard cub to grow to full size). Granted, unlike their real-life counterparts they have 3 [[OneManArmy powerhouses]] capable of tearing armies apart on their own assisting them.
* MobileCity: They travel on a massive ship that not only holds several smaller ships, it even has gardens on top.
* WeHaveReserves: They accrue losses with every battle but don't even bother mourning the dead. It seems like they're more than happy to die in droves for their queen so long as it accomplishes something.

[[folder:Ima]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/queen_24.png]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Amina Koroma
The leader of the Egyptians.
----
* AllThereInTheScript: Her name is shown in the end credits, [[https://twitter.com/aminAKActs/status/1568618546439098374 which is later clarified by her voice actress on Twitter]].
* AmbiguouslyBi: Forces her female slaves to perform erotic dances for her amusement (and at least one of them seems to be [[StockholmSyndrome genuinely loyal to the queen]]), but also dances suggestively herself in front of the captured king of the Sea People. Of course, the former might just be a power play, and the latter ended with her kicking the king off a ledge to his death.
* ArcVillain: For the Colossaeus arc.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Despite her much slimmer build, she turns out to be quite the capable DanceBattler when she seemingly effortlessly dodges around Spear's wild swings and hits him hard enough to draw blood and momentarily daze him. [[spoiler:Then she tries to fight Kamau after he finally musters the courage to fight her oppression and proves to be completely ineffective.]]
* BareYourMidriff: She wears a red dress under her cape that leaves her midriff bare.
* TheBaroness: She's certainly beautiful, in charge, and has a serious nasty streak. The sadistic grin on her face when [[spoiler:she takes Fang's eggs hostage]] is just the beginning; in the next episode we learn that she also keeps Kamau's daughter as hostage, forcing him to kill her opponents [[KickTheDog even if they surrender without a fight]]. She is also well aware of her beauty, performing a seductive dance in front of the King of the Sea People right before murdering him in cold blood.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: [[spoiler:Brutally averted, when Kamau throws her to her death, she hits the ground and winds up realistically mangled on impact. Her limbs end up twisted and bloody, her neck snapped and one of her eyeballs even starts popping out of the socket.]]
* CoolCrown: She wears an Egyptian-style [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemes nemes]] to show off her authority.
* DanceBattler: Many of the strikes and grapples she uses against Spear are reminiscent of the dance routines she forces her slaves to perform and the dance she performed in front of the captured king of the Sea People.
* DarkActionGirl: She is capable of fighting with Spear, who has been fighting (and overcoming) monsters much bigger than her for a long time.
* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:She meets her gruesome end at the climax of "The Collosaeus, Part III" when Kamau throws her off of the city ship down onto the boat Spear and his group have appropriated. She crashes through the roof and is unceremoniously splattered over the floor.]]
* DualWielding: She wields a pair of khopesh during her final confrontation with Spear.
* EvilEyebrows: She has high-arching eyebrows that give her a constant cruel expression regardless whether she's smiling or frowning. It's accentuated by her ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow.
* EvilIsPetty: Upon meeting peaceful villagers who openly welcome her and offer her food and other goods, she looks at what they offer, is clearly scornful, then returns to her boat making a gesture at Kamau to execute them. For the crime of not offering greater tribute. When Kamau brings their offerings to her in an attempt to sway her, she immediately threatens Amal. She's willing to have a village of peaceful people actively acquiescing to her slaughtered for the crime of not being rich enough for her.
* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: She's the only character wearing eyeshadow, and she's a cruel, sadistic warmonger.
* FragileSpeedster: She's agile enough to literally dance around the likes of Spear and Kamau to the point they can't lay a finger on her, but she lacks the power or durability either of them have and really isn't able to take hits on par with them. [[spoiler: This ultimately plays a huge part in her death, as she's left to face Kamau by herself. She can't inflict any real damage on him and once he gets his hands on her...]]
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She is the leader of a warmongering, slave-keeping civilization, [[spoiler:and she takes Fang's eggs as hostages with a sadistic smile on her face, forcing our heroes to fight for her]].
* HateSink: She is a vile woman who completely relishes lording her power over those she subjugates. Besides the honest to God smile she has on her face when [[spoiler:she holds Fang's newborn children hostage]], there's the fact that she forces Kamau to slaughter a ''surrendering'' village seemingly just because she can.
* HighHeelPower: She wears high heels, which signify her authority over her army. They're also pretty useful as CombatStilettos, as Spear found out.
* IHaveYourWife: The Queen takes [[spoiler:Fang's remaining two eggs]] as hostage in order to force Spear and Fang to fight for them. We eventually find out she did this to Kamau as well, keeping his daughter as a slave.
* InterimVillain: After the Chieftain undergoes his transformation and begins his pursuit, Ima stands in as the main antagonist for her arc, with the Chieftain returning to the forefront upon her death.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:After utilizing and blackmailing Kamau to perform heinous acts for so long, during the climax of "The Colossaeus III", Kamau grabs the queen and throws her overboard to her gruesome death, crashing through the roof of the boat Spear and his friends are on.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: She might try to press gang powerful fighters into her army but she knows dead well to avoid the SunkCostFallacy in keeping them; the second they prove more trouble than they're worth she'll get rid of them without a second thought.
* KickChick: While she can throw a punch if she has to, her preferred method of fighting is kicking.
* KickTheDog: During their marauding, the Egyptians encounter a pacifistic civilization who surrender immediately and offer their food as tribute. [[spoiler: The Queen orders Kamau to kill them all anyway.]]
* LovesOnlyGold: Her mission is to {{plunder}} as much gold and other treasure from everywhere she can. When a village offers her food as tribute (with the implication it will be a regular occurrence), she disgustedly has them all killed.
* MakeupIsEvil: She's the only character who is shown wearing excessive makeup (including [[ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow eyeshadow]] and lipstick), and is one of the most vile characters in the show. By contrast, the only other recurring female human, Mira, is a kind-hearted slave who wears no makeup at all.
* RightHandCat: She takes the Babylonian King's pet leopard cub for herself, and she raises it into adulthood to serve as her attack animal.
* {{Sadist}}: She seems to revel in tormenting both her servants and her opponents.
* SadisticChoice: She gives one to Kamau. Either he kills an entire village of peaceful and submissive people, or she gets his daughter killed.
* SilentAntagonist: Throughout her appearances, she never says a single word and only gives hand gestures. [[spoiler:She does scream in "The Colossaeus, Part III" when giving orders to attack and when Kamau throws her off the city ship.]]
* TheSociopath: She's a ruthless, cold-blooded monster of a greedy, self serving tyrant who thrives on exploiting other people's emotional attachments to her advantage and never once hints at having anything remotely close to a conscience. Even her adopting the leopard cub wasn't a PetTheDog moment. She just wanted another minion.
* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:She's unceremoniously thrown overboard by Kamau. Her crashing through the roof of Spear, Mira, and Fang's escape boat is almost treated like a darkly funny gag.]]
* VillainousValor: [[spoiler:After Kamau and his people escape captivity and surround her, she continues to try to attack Kamau, even though none of her attacks have an effect on him. It doesn't make her death when he tosses her overboard any more dignified.]]
* VisualPun: [[spoiler:Her own overconfidence and refusal to swallow her pride and run results in her making the extremely idiotic decision of facing a ''very'' pissed off Kamau who is no longer afraid to fight back against her in one-on-one combat, and she easily gets killed by him when he throws her off of the boat as hard as possible, causing her to rocket towards the roof of the escape boat that Spear, Fang, her hatchlings, and Mira were on, reducing her to a splattered mess. In other words, her pride came before her fall.]]
* WaifFu: She can hold her own in a fight, even unarmed, with a fighting style that focuses on speed and momentum, especially on using her legs to kick and grapple.
* WeakButSkilled: She doesn't have the kind of power that Spear or Kamau may bring to a fight but she is highly agile in battle, nimble enough that neither of them can even touch her in their respective fights while she can deliver DeathByAThousandCuts. [[spoiler: She ultimately gets killed when facing Kamau alone because she's effectively cornered and doesn't have the strength to cause him any real injuries, while he just has to get his hands on her to finish her off.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: Has taken Kamau's daughter as a hostage to force him to fight for her, and threatens to execute her whenever he becomes disobedient.
* XanatosSpeedChess: Part of what makes her so dangerous is her ability to quickly recognize and exploit unfolding events to her own advantage. [[spoiler:She ends the initial battle with the Trio by realizing that they want to protect Fang's eggs and takes them as leverage. When she tries to use said eggs to pacify Fang later and it fails to work she was fully willing to shatter one of them until she sees Spear is able to exert some influence on Fang, something she didn't expect but is all too happy to exploit for her own ends.]]

[[folder:Kamau]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kamau.png]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Imari Williams
A gigantic slave fighting for the Egyptians.
----
* AllThereInTheScript: His name is shown in the end credits.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Kamau looks human, but he's as big as Fang and strong enough to knock an elephant the size of a small sauropod on its ass. Judging by his height, he may be a ''Homo heidelbergensis'' from sub-Saharan Africa, which did grow to be close to seven feet tall, although he is easily over ten feet tall and looks like a modern human apart from his size. While his daughter seems human, we later see his people were some form of peaceful giants, captured by the Egyptians and pushed into slavery.
* AntiVillain: While he's presented as an antagonist to the trio, we learn shortly after he is being forced to fight for the Queen on pain of his daughter's death.
* AnnoyingArrows: After every battle he will be peppered with many arrows. He just shrugs them off by gently swiping his shoulders with his hands.
* BaldHeadOfToughness: He's completely bald and is easily the toughest foe Fang and Spear have encountered so far.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's actually quite gentle and pacifistic by nature, but when his daughter is threatened, he becomes an unstoppable fighting machine. Unfortunately, this motivated the Egyptian Queen to enslave him.
* CowardlyLion: He fears too much for his daughter's life to fight back against the Egyptian Queen in any meaningful capacity. It's not until he sees Spear, Fang, and Mira risk their lives to save her and [[spoiler:Fang's babies]] that he is inspired to gamble everything on one big daring fight for freedom.
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:After spending a long time as the Queen's muscle and forced to commit atrocities lest his daughter is killed, he is able to pay back his captor the favor by throwing her overboard to her death in the climax of "The Colossaeus III".]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Subverted in that he's definitely not evil, but he only does horrible things because the Egyptian Queen has his daughter as a slave.
* {{Foil}}: A grim one to the viking Chieftain. While Kamau is a slave and the other a slaver, their respective love for their children causes them to both make dark deals with monstrous authority figures.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Subverted, as he as little issue killing others when defending his daughter, something that Ima exploits when capturing him, his entire tribe, and forcing him to fight for her. However, before they were attacked, when Amal was running about their home trying to kill a spider, Kamau gently catches the stick she was using, and instead captures the spider. He then releases it outside their home, implying that he certainly was this before, and was clearly intending to teach his daughter to be this as well.
* ForcedIntoEvil: Despite being incredibly powerful, he clearly does ''not'' enjoy what he does, and shows visible signs of trauma after he slaughters a peaceful village against his will. Understandably, he also hails from a pacific village.
* GentleGiant: We see in a flash back he is an incredibly gentle man, stopping his daughter from killing a spider while showing her how to safely release it. This seems to be a trait of his people who were so pacifistic they wouldn't try to fight back when the Egyptians attacked. Kamau's gentleness didn't stop him [[GoodIsNotSoft fighting for his daughter]] and unfortunately made the Queen realize what he was capable of. He was forced into service and is clearly haunted by the amount of bloodshed he's been responsible for.
* MadeASlave: He's a slave forced to fight for his captors.
* MadeOfIron: Mira shoots him right in the throat to no effect. Nothing else Mira or Spear can do to him does any damage, and it takes a bite from Fang to even ''begin'' to cause him pain. We later see that this isn't unique to him, all members of his tribe have incredible durability, the Queen slashing at them does nothing more than draw a bit of blood.
* ManlyTears: Kamau, while a musclebound giant, is rather prone to tears when he is separated from Amal or reunited with her. It's quite understandable considering the trauma they're going through.
* MeaningfulName: His name means "quiet warrior" in Kenyan, befitting for an incredibly strong and incredibly silent man.
* OneManArmy: Gives this vibe when he's introduced. The Egyptians have an entire docking ship with just him in it, which can fit numerous regular soldiers. He certainly outperforms them.
* PapaWolf: The only thing that motivates him to fight is when his daughter's life is on the line.
* PunchClockVillain: He only fought Spear, Fang, and Mira because his captors commanded him to. Though there is some definite tension over him inadvertently [[spoiler:killing one of Fang's newborn children]], he works alongside Spear and Fang without much actual issue after the latter two are made slaves themselves.
* ScaryBlackMan: He appears to be of African origin by his pronounced lips and dark skin tone (further supported by the fact that his name is Kenyan), and he's a near-unstoppable giant. Deconstructed as we soon realize that despite being a powerful brute, he has a good heart and only does evil things because he's forced to.
* TheStoic: He's highly inexpressive and nearly silent. The only sound he makes is a cry of pain when he's dogpiled by Spear, Fang and Mira. His only potential expression is one of quiet observation as he frequently watches Spear and Fang after they're captured. It's gradually revealed this is something of a coping mechanism for the horrors he's forced to perpetuate and endure as the Egyptians' massive attack dog, as he shows more emotion when interacting with his daughter, and [[spoiler:visibly begs the queen not to needlessly have him slaughter some villagers who surrendered peacefully to them, only to go [[HeroicBSOD completely stone-faced]] in [[ThousandYardStare wide-eyed horror]] as she forces him to brutalize them regardless]].
* SuperStrength: He's strong enough to fight Fang one on one and is able to catch a giant elephant's foot mid-stomp.
* ThousandYardStare: His understandable reaction to [[spoiler:the queen [[SadisticChoice forcing him]] to personally butcher an entire village that peacefully surrendered to them or lose his daughter]].
* WhenHeSmiles: Otherwise a harsh PerpetualFrowner, his face softens significantly when he's briefly allowed to see his daughter.
* YourSizeMayVary: Not to the extent of Fang, but he likewise shifts size frequently. When he first faces Fang he's as tall as her but no where near as massive. In later shots, he's much broader and occasionally taller in comparison to her. The easiest example is comparing when he first meets his daughter to when he frees her, where she goes from being small enough in comparison to him to hold in his arms to being tiny enough that she's smaller than his head.

[[folder:Amal]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amal_5.jpg]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Hillary Hawkins
The daughter of Kamau, kept prisoner by Ima in order to make him fight for her.
----
* AllThereInTheScript: Her name is shown in the end credits.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: She's a sweet child in a world of brutal warriors, held prisoner by an incredibly cruel Queen.
* DaddysGirl: Her mother is unseen and she's very much close to her father.
* IHaveYourDaughter: The Queen uses her as leverage to make Kamau do unspeakable things.
* MissingMom: It's not clear whether or not one of the captured villagers is the girl's mother, but Amal only ever interacts with her father on-screen with no female parent shown.
* MoralityPet: She exists to humanize Kamau. Ironically, she also has a part to play in the brutality Kamau is forced to take part in, if only because he's terrified of what will happen to her if he doesn't.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Kamau's Tribe]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kamau_tribe.jpg]]
A peaceful society of [[GentleGiant gentle giants]] who are attacked and enslaved by the Egyptians.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: They're pacifists by nature, [[spoiler:but once they see Kamau fighting off their Egyptian captors, they proceed to literally stomp the Egyptian forces into paste.]]
* CowardlyLion: They're all just as strong and massive as Kamau is but are too frightened by the Egyptians' armaments and threats to bother resisting. [[spoiler:Then they see Kamau bravely fight their captors and decide to rise up. [[CurbStompBattle Turns out they had nothing to fear after all]].]]
* CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler:Once they see Kamau valiantly fighting off hordes of Egyptians, they all start to rise up and fight the Egyptians, leading to a complete victory with no casualties on the tribe's side.]]
* {{Foil}}: To the Egyptians. While they're nowhere near as technologically advanced as their oppressors, they are infinitely superior in terms of their morality and culture, as they are a gentle, buddha-like people who view all life as sacred, as [[EstablishingCharacterMoment Kamau's way of dealing with a spider that his daughter was chasing was to gently catch and release it]].
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Of Sub-Saharan African cultures. Their clothes are similar to the ones worn by multiple tribes and they were also enslaved by a more technologically advanced civilization of conquerors.
* GentleGiant: All of the males are just as big and strong as Kamau is, but everyone but him are too pacifistic to fight back. [[spoiler:[[CurbstompBattle Then they do fight back.]]]]
* GiganticAdultsTinyBabies: Kamau's daughter is the same size as a normal human child, while Kamau and all the other adults are incredibly big and strong.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: A tribe of giants roughly as tall as Fang who tower over other humans, and especially so over the relatively short Spear.
* HumanSubspecies: They don't seem to quite be ''homo sapiens''. They have facial features like modern humans, but Spear's Neanderthal bodily proportions and are about ''twice'' the size of everyone else.
* LowCultureHighTech: Inverted. They're a sophisticated and harmonious society of gentle and pacifistic people who value all forms of life, down to even arachnids and insects, but they live in huts made out of sticks and grass.
%%* UncertainDoom: They're freed at the end of their story arc and take command of the Colosseus. But after Spear, Fang, and Mira are gone, the last thing Kamau and his people see is the Chieftain as a MagmaMan heading their direction. After that, it's not clear if they got out of the way in time and escaped or got massacred at the hands of the Chieftain.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Babylonians]]
* RedShirtArmy: While they held their own against the Egyptian soldiers, once Spear and Fang enter the fray there's nothing they can do to not get slaughtered.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Babylonian King]]
* AdiposeRex: He's more portly than any of his soldiers.
* OhCrap: He has this look on his face when he sees that Fang has breached his fortress.
* RightHandCat: He's holding a leopard cub [[VisualPun under his right arm]] when he comes to investigate the commotion outside his palace. The Egyptian Queen takes it as her own before having the king killed.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Other civilizations]]
As Spear and Fang are enslaved by the Egyptian Queen, they are forced to fight in her wars and raids, and come across a wide variety of civilizations from across the world. These include the Romans, Bretons, and Chinese.
----
* AnachronismStew: Not as drastic as other examples in this series, such as cavemen and dinosaurs living together, but the aesthetic of the Bretons is more akin to the Middle Ages than the Classical age of the Egyptians and Romans, with iron chain-mail and pointed wide-brimmed kettle helms.
* AncientRome: One of the civilizations is clearly based on the Romans due to the appearance of their armor and architecture.
* ArmorIsUseless: Despite wearing fully body armor, they are obliterated by the almost-naked Spear and Kamau.
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Much like the other human civilizations seen thus far, all three of them are recognizably based on a specific real-world historical civilization (ancient Chinese/Huns, medieval Bretons, and ancient Romans respectively).
* FlatCharacter: At the moment, none of these civilizations have had any real development. It's even strengthened in their few scenes, with the animations of Fang, Spear, and Kamau being recycled for each new battle. Despite their aesthetic differences, in the end they're just victims of the Queen's raids.
* RuleOfThree: Three of them are shown in rapid sequence one after another: first the Chinese/Hun army, then the Breton army, and finally the Roman army.
* YellowPeril: One of the civilizations Spear and Fang take out has an East Asian aesthetic, based on either the Chinese or the Huns. A [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] example in that they appear simply to be defending their land, with the Egyptians being the aggressors seeking to conquer them.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Sea People]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sea_people.jpg]]
A sea-faring, warmongering culture based on the Sea People, a mysterious civilization who terrorised the Mediterranean during the Bronze Age.
----
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: They are also a group of raiders who travel in a [[MobileCity Colossaeus]] and attack other civilizations. However, attacking the Egyptians bites them in the back, as they are absolutely obliterated and their Colossaeus gets sunk.
* BoardingParty: Employ this tactic against the Egyptians. The boarding action itself is successful, but the Egyptians end up destroying the Sea People's Colossaeus, leaving them trapped on the Egyptian ship and forced to surrender.
* FearfulSymmetry: Like the Egyptians, they live on a Colossaeus, and they have advanced siege weaponry and naval warfare tactics. Unfortunately for them, they don't have anything like Spear, Fang or Kamau, and so end up being defeated and having their Colossaeus destroyed.
* MobileCity: They have a city-ship almost identical to the Egyptian Colossaeus, only they are more based on the Philistines.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Sea People's King]]
* DistractedByTheSexy: He appears to ogle the Egyptian Queen while she performs a provocative dance in front of him, [[spoiler:which she uses to her advantage to kick him overboard while his guard is down]].
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: This man is shown fighting on the front lines, DualWielding a pair of axes and skillfully cutting down several Egyptian soldiers.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Peaceful Villagers]]
A peaceful civilization inhabiting a tranquil beach.
----
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Their clothing, dark skin tone and facial features suggest they are based on South Indians.
* KickTheDog: On the receiving end of this. Despite surrendering to the Egyptians, the Egyptian Queen forces Kamau to wipe them all out anyway.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Peaceful Villagers' Chief]]
The leader of a peaceful civilization.
----
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Once it's made clear that Kamau has to kill him and his village in order to keep Kamua's daughter safe, he simply bows his head submissively and waits for his death, taking on the same pose he had when he was trying to surrender.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Instead of trying to fight back against an unstoppable force with overwhelming numbers, he has his tribe prepare a tribute in an attempt to appease the Egyptian Queen. Unfortunately, she's not interested in a resolution that doesn't involve bloodshed...
* WrongGenreSavvy: Normally preparing a tribute and making a display of submissiveness is a great way to avoid death from an invading force... unless said invading force is run by a sadist who enjoys the act of killing people in of itself.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mira's People]]
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Their clothing, architecture, and desert environment is reminiscent of Northern Africa. The liberal use of gold in their jewelry and the use of Arabic as their language implies that they are related to the ancient Nubians, the people that lived south of the real-life Egyptians.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: They only appear in the GrandFinale.
* NobleSavage: Downplayed on the "savage part"; they're not as feral as Spear or the other ape-men, but they lack the (relatively) advanced metalworking and seafaring technology of the Vikings and Egyptians. They're also much more peaceful than those slaving nations.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mira's Father]]

* BigBeautifulWoman: She's more heavyset than Mira, but she's quite pretty, and just like Mira she had a lover before the Viking attack.
* NakedFirstImpression: Fang first encounters her while she's bathing in a pond.
* NotQuiteDead: Despite being hit by an ax [[InTheBack in the back]] during the Viking attack, she later appears alive and well when Mira and company return to her homeland.
* ScarsAreForever: She has a large scar on her back from the ax that was thrown at her when Mira was captured.

[[caption-width-right:350:From left to right: Blakely, Giroud, Charles, Lord Darlington, Bertie]]
A quorum of upper-class British gentlemen who regularly meet at Lord Darlington's manor house to discuss their theories on history and science.
----
* IAmVeryBritish: All but one of the members consist of proper and stuffy British gentlemen who adjourn to the study and debate human nature over brandy.
* OutOfGenreExperience: Even more so than the Vikings. The tribulations of a society of Victorian-era scholars in dealing with a crazed cannibal have little to do with the series' overarching plot about a Caveman and his prehistoric dinosaur companion, save for the underlying narrative about the inherent savage nature of man.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"We're not so dissimilar from the primitive man from whence we came."'']]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Jacob Dudman
The youngest member of the Historical Society whose theories are mocked by his fellows.
----
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: His fellow intellectuals deride and dismiss his assertion that man will revert back to his most primal instincts when pushed into a corner. [[spoiler:Darlington proves him right in the end when he resorts to a primitive spear to kill the Madman.]]
* DecoyProtagonist: Despite frequent reaction shots showing his anger at having his Primal Theory dismissed and mocked, he is [[spoiler:not the one who gives in to primeval rage and discards his civility for the sake of wrathful survival.]]
* IWarnedYou: He states his Primal Theory to the Historical Society, and is met with derision that educated people who have overcome their savage origins would ever revert back to caveman savagery if pushed far enough. [[spoiler:The Madman's attack on the society eventually pushes Darlington far enough that he hits his RageBreakingPoint and violently kills his attacker with a makeshift Spear, aligning exactly with Charles' theory]]. He notes this in a BlackComedy manner, [[InnocentlyInsensitive apparently overlooking]] how [[ThousandYardStare disturbed]] [[spoiler:Darlington]] is by what he's just done. That, or he was just trying to inject some levity into an otherwise admittedly dark situation.
-->'''Charles:''' And there you have it!
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Is very clearly based off of a young UsefulNotes/CharlesDarwin, who had already died of old age by the year the episode is set. It's entirely possible that he could be an alternative universe version of him.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"We are '''scientists'''. Learned men. We deal in '''facts'''"''.]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Jeremy Crutchley
The leader of the Historical Society who hosts the group's meetings at his home.
----
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: A member of the British gentry, and by far best fighter in the society. [[spoiler:It's revealed he was a champion boxer at university, is a crack shot with firearms ''and'' a bow and arrow, is quickly able to fashion a spear out of some fallen tree branches and a piece of a broken statue, and is ultimately the one who kills the Madman, almost single-handedly.]]
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: By listening to Charles' theoretical explanation about the genetic connection between homo sapiens and neanderthals, he goes against the very thought of how a highly evolved species such as humans could actually deter themselves back into their primordial state. [[spoiler:Interacting with the Madman deliberately changed him, especially when he starts becoming more and more violent with the mentally unstable oppressor as he eventually does revert into a primitive and savage force himself, therefore, Darlington, in a roundabout way proves Charles' theory about the bloodthirsty savagery of man no matter how developed they seem to be.]]
* GentlemanSnarker: Delivers a few not-so-gentlemanly put-downs.
-->'''Charles:''' Under the right circumstances, facing a primeval threat, I assure you gentlemen that our evolution will revert back to its [[TitleDrop primal]] savage form. Fighting for survival, at the very cost of humanity!\\
'''Darlington:''' Well then, we must watch over Blakely's cakes, for if circumstances see them disappear, it will surely release ''his'' inner beast.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He puts down Charles for his theories, but when the Madman has Charles pinned down, Darlington is actually reluctant to shoot the Madman because he's afraid he'll hit Charles.
* MusclesAreMeaningful: [[spoiler:When he tears his shirt off to use as a binding for a makeshift spear, he's revealed to be quite ripped underneath from his old boxing days. He still looks thin and reedy compared to the Madman's hulking physique, but he's more than a match to fistfight the insane killer for a few minutes, whereas the rest of the society are helpless whenever the Madman gets his hands on them]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Less for the act itself and more for ''how'' he did it. [[spoiler:Darlington finally kills the Madman by embracing his inner savagery, tearing off his shirt to use as a makeshift binding for a spear and fighting like the exact kind of primitive being he derided Charles for believing 'civilised' men would become when pushed into a crisis situation]]. His ThousandYardStare afterwards shows that he's ''not'' happy with the realisation.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: He presumably takes his name and college boxing background from English biologist Cyril Dean Darlington. He might also be partly based on Richard Owen, opposing someone called Charles and being the senior of his assembly.
* RuleOfSymbolism: [[spoiler:As the fight with the Madman continues, Darlington's fighting strategy constantly changes as he tries different ways to kill his monstrous opponent, starting off with English rifles, followed by refined hand-to-hand boxing, moving onto a bow and arrow before finally fashioning a makeshift spear out of a tree that falls into the house from the storm around the mansion, [[WalkingShirtlessScene his shirt]] and a piece of broken statue. This reflects how Darlington is gradually devolving into simpler and more primitive methods as he falls back into his Primal instincts to survive against an enemy that endures everything he throws at him. Indeed, what actually kills the Madman is Darlington going into a frenzy and stabbing him to death with the broken spear in an echo of Spear's own finishing blows against his prehistoric monster opponents]].
* WeakButSkilled: He's not "weak" per se, but he's certainly no match for the Madman in sheer physical strength. [[spoiler:However, Darlington makes up for it with his boxing skills, landing several punches on the assailant before being overpowered. When he's armed with a stick, he even expertly dodges a punch by the Madman and promptly lacerates his abdomen.]]

A portly member of the Historical Society who arrives late to the group's meeting.
----
* CowardlyLion: Downplayed; he stays in the parlour with Bertie when the more physically able members of the society go to investigate a strange noise, and while he does eventually take up arms to fight the Madman, [[spoiler:he is dispatched very quickly and easily]].
* OpaqueNerdGlasses: Blakely's eyes are permanently obscured behind a pair of glasses and his pupils are never seen. [[spoiler:When the Madman headbutts him, the glasses are smashed to pieces.]]
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:The super-strong Madman gives him a ''vicious'' close-range headbutt that renders him insensate immediately, and whilst he chucks his body at the pair to give him an opening to flee, Blakely doesn't respond to Charles' attempts to rouse him. The episode ultimately ends without disclosing if he was merely knocked unconscious or if he had his neck broken from the force of the blow]].

* FrenchJerk: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]--he's the only non-British member of the group, but he's also seems to be the friendliest and most open-minded. Notably, Giroud's the only one to come to Charles's defense when the others mock his hypothesis.
* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:The Madman renders him unconscious with a single punch to the jaw when he grabs a sword, and the rest of the society are forced to leave him behind as they flee the room. When they re-enter it later whilst hunting the Madman with rifles, his body can be seen lying on the floor with blood pooling around his head. Though the wound isn't shown, it can be assumed the Madman came back for him and bit out his throat]].
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Clearly based on Georges Cuvier, a contemporary French naturalist and zoologist.

!!Modern Humans

[[folder:The Madman]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/madman_8.png]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/FredTatasciore
A violent escapee from the local asylum who breaks into Lord Darlington's manor and terrorizes the society.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: He is drawn with a darker skin tone and bald compared to the scientists; several angles make it clear that this isn't just lighting. It generally makes sense given the tropes of the time period, but then again...
* AmbiguouslyHuman: This maniac may ''look'' like a deranged muscular human but the way how he exhibits frightening agility for his size, absorbs physical blows, bullets, and arrows like a sponge, and craves human flesh it's unlikely to even distinguish him as an ordinary human being. Charles himself lampshades the situation.
--> '''Charles''': I would argue that thing is barely human!
* AxCrazy: As it turns out, calling him "madman" is putting it ''quite'' mildly. He's an extremely violent individual who brutally kills and ''devours'' anyone unlucky enough to cross paths with him, and is seemingly devoid of any thoughts or desires other than torment innocent people and spread carnage. He's less like a man and more like the living enbodiment of savagery and humanity's more primitive and bloody aspects. And worse, despite his bestial nature, it's shown several times that [[ItCanThink he's still got enough human intelligence left in him to be very crafty and dangerous]] against armed opponents, making it clear that he's not killing because he's hungry or unaware of what he's really doing -- he's brutally murdering people because he ''wants'' to, and even takes sadistic glee out of tormenting people before he kills them.
* BaldOfEvil: He doesn't have a strand of hair on his head and is a murderous lunatic.
* BloodKnight: He brutishly relishes the vicious murders of anyone who crosses him. After ambushing Charles and Darlington, he goes right after the latter by decking him in the jaw. Darlington wipes the blood of his lip, takes off his jacket, and brings up both of his fists... The Madman '''grins''' at him. That said, he's shown to be incredulous, then genuinely pissed off when Darlington keeps landing blows on him whilst dodging his own attacks, suggesting he was looking forward to overpowering Darlington in a contest of pure strength, and upset when his opponent proves skilled enough to make him look like a fool.
* EvilCounterpart: To Spear. They're both wild and surprisingly-cunning berserkers with similar body types. While Spear only hunts and kills for survival and self-defense and can be empathetic, altruistic, and shows signs of reluctance and remorse, the Madman only kills ForTheEvulz and has complete LackOfEmpathy.
* EvilLaugh: Lets out a demented giggle when he realizes Charles and Darlington are reluctant to attack him while he's holding Blakely, and so he can use him as a human shield.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: His eyes glimmer in shadowy areas of the manor, usually whenever he uses unnatural stealth.
* ImAHumanitarian: Is introduced to the viewer snacking on Lord Darlington's butler, and subsequently takes huge bites of flesh out of all of his victims. However, whilst he uses this to kill, he's not afterwards seen eating the corpses of his victims, save the butler, and he loses interest in him when he sees the rest of the society, implying that he's killing them not out of need or hunger, but because he wants to enjoy the thrill of the hunt first and foremost.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:In the skull, courtesy of Lord Darlington.]]
* InsaneEqualsViolent: He's an escapee from an asylum who takes sick pleasure in maiming [[ImAHumanitarian and consuming]] his fellow man.
* ItCanThink: Initially appears to be nothing more than a savage monster, but has retained enough human intelligence to keep the more educated and better armed society on the back foot. He blocks off their attempt to exit the manor with a thrown dresser at the door, recognises when they've barricaded themselves inside a room and heads to the less well-defended windows at the back of the room to turn their own defences against them, opts to flee the room when Darlington arms himself with a gun and fires wildly at him, despite missing his shots, uses ambush tactics to surprise the group when they arm themselves with modern firearms, uses Blakely as a human shield and projectile to gain the advantage when they have a bead on him, recognises Darlington's attempt to fight him hand-to-hand and relishes the perceived chance to overpower him, and attempts to kill Lord Darlington by drowning him.
* MadeOfIron: Is able to take an insane amount of punishment. Punches, arrows, bullets, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking furniture]] all seem to have little effect. [[spoiler:The only thing that finally takes him down is when Lord Darlington reverts to his "primal instinct" and attacks him in a frenzied manner with a sharp stick, finally impaling him through the head.]]
* NoNameGiven: He's only ever referred to as The Madman.
* RunningOnAllFours: Constantly prances around and towards his victims in the vein of a savage and bestial gait of a gorilla.
* {{Sadist}}: He may choose to eat human meat because of his insanity, but his hunting tactics and focus on the alive members of the society over the dead corpses left around the mansion makes it clear he's not killing them out of need for sustenance, but because he relishes stalking and killing his prey. He even goes out of his way to show himself to the survivors [[JumpScare unexpectedly]] to scare them and relishes their fear as he prepares to bite into them. [[spoiler:When he has Darlington pinned down and is drowning him, he notes with dissatisfaction that Darlington is barely conscious and can't give him the fearful reaction he wants, so he throws him aside and starts biting into Charles instead to have more fun out of his next kill, and hopefully intimidate Darlington with his impending death]].
* ScaryTeeth: He has rows of jagged fangs.
* SlasherSmile: Outside of the instances where he's on the receiving end of damage, he constantly has this stretched across his face, showing off his rows of fangs.
* TattooedCrook: His chest and back are tattooed; they include a large skull with snakes coming out of its eye sockets, and the word "DEATH".
* TranquilFury: He is clearly having the time of his life stalking, hunting and hurting the society's members one by one, but when [[spoiler:Darlington starts beating him in a fist-fight, his mood clearly sours, and he gets noticeably annoyed both by Darlington actually repeatedly hurting him and showing no fear towards him as he wails on him. When he disarms Darlington of his weapons in the greenhouse, he pulls out the arrows he was shot with, marches right up to him and lets him repeatedly punch him in the face until Darlington tires out, all with a frozen look of simmering anger on his face, enraged that Darlington was good enough to actually hurt him and clearly wanting to return the favour tenfold]].
* VillainousBreakdown: He's slaughtered many of the people in the mansion left and right and seemed to be practically unbeatable whenever the scientists try to avoid him. He even seems to be aware of how terrifying he is. Right when he attacks Charles and Darlington (who were both armed) he targets the latter, but what he didn't expect is that the man happens to be a boxing champion. His PsychoticSmirk disappeared the moment he got struck square in the face. The more he kept getting walloped by Darlington's punches, the more increasingly agitated he became by his fighting skills until he started to grab ahold of Darlington's neck. [[spoiler: Darlington puts the psychopath on the defensive a second time when he weaponizes the sharp end of a broken tree branch and begins his assault by stabbing him countless times while he's yowling out of pain and starts visibly ''limping'' from his wounds.]]
* TheVoiceless: Never says a word throughout the entire episode, his only vocalizations being [[TitleDrop primal]] grunts and yells. Slightly subverted as when Darlington punches him in the face a second time, he seems to [[RageBreakingPoint yell "DIE" at him]], but it's so garbled to be almost completely unintelligible.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Has dull yellow sclera that goes along with his wicked and deranged personality. [[spoiler:The sneakiness part is also terrifyingly displayed, even though he's larger than the other scientists he's able to obscure himself and strikes unannounced.]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_1576.jpeg]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [=Aaron LaPlante=], Creator/TomKenny
A tribe of ape-like albinos hiding in caves from the bats.
----
* AndroclesLion: After Spear saves their wounded member and brings in the food he was carrying, one of them returns his weapon to him.
* DarkIsNotEvil: They're ugly albino people who live in caverns, but they help Spear by giving him back his spear.
* FrazettaMan: Subverted. They are definitely more primitive than Spear, essentially looking like hairless apes, but they are also somewhat intelligent, would rather run from a fight (justified given the world they live in), and actually give Spear his spear back after he loses it. Additionally, while FrazettaMan is usually a muscled apex predator in his natural environment, these people are playing second-fiddle to the Giant Bats and are starved to the point of emaciation.
* HeroicSacrifice: When the injured man begins to cry out to the others and another, fitter one comes hurrying towards him, he doesn't reach out for help. Instead, the injured man pushes the dead boar forward. He expects to die, and is urging his fellow to take the boar to the rest of the tribe so they don't starve.
* LoinCloth: Despite their primitive, ape-like appearance, they wear loincloths.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: One of the primitive men didn't seem to be held back by the boar's weight that he's hoisting over his shoulders regardless of his malnourished and frail appearance.
* OhCrap: When the one carrying the boar breaks his leg, he begins screaming. Then the rest begin screaming. They know what's going to happen next, and [[BatOutOfHell who's going to come for the injured one]].
* PrimalChestPound: One does this in both the trailer and the episode, as he charges to the rescue of his injured tribe-mate.
* PrimalStance: They are knuckle-walkers.

-> '''Voiced by:''' [=Aaron LaPlante=], Jon Olson
A tribe of hominids who capture Spear and Fang and use them in a deadly martial tournament.
----
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Their warriors wear a bit of jewelry, Krog wears a ''Triceratops'' skull as a helmet... and nothing else.
* AllThereInTheManual: According to the credits, the name of the giant champion is Krog.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: If there are sympathetic ape-men in this world, we've yet to meet them.
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Spear rips off the Ape-Man champion's arms, only to [[GrievousHarmWithABody bludgeon the giant gorilla to death with his own severed arms]].]]
* AxCrazy: Their whole society. Their champions love to kill, and the smaller apes love to watch the carnage.
* AssholeVictim:
** [[spoiler:Krog fought his way through a contest held where the winner gets the right to take a SuperSerum to beat an innocent captive. Even putting aside the heightened aggression, he still appeared to be plenty AxCrazy normally, judging by how he licked his lips in anticipation of killing Fang before drinking the potion. He deserved to get his arms torn off before Spear smashed him to a pulp.]]
** [[spoiler:When they return in the Season 1 Finale, they come after Mira only to be killed by her kidnappers.]]
* AttackAttackRetreatRetreat: After [[spoiler:Spear brutally kills their champion,]] all the smaller apes decide to ZergRush Spear. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, Spear was at the time juiced up by their SuperSerum, and reduced them to LudicrousGibs. They decided to do the smart thing and run, but Spear didn't let any of them escape.]]
* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:They are the only villains who make a return, and they are killed by the followers of the demon.]]
* BullyingADragon: The rest of the ape-men immediately ZergRush [[spoiler:a hulked-out Spear even after he brutally slaughtered their champion. After he effortlessly massacres a few, they get the memo and attempt to retreat]].
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:In "Slave of the Scorpion", Mira is abducted by a squadron of similar ape-like creatures, likely the same species, albeit with glowing eyes and more jagged teeth.]]
* CivilizedAnimal: They're the only species in Spear's world possessing an ''outright civilization.'' Displaying organized: leadership (the hooded figure), social gatherings (the ritual tournament), logistics (the abduction of creatures like Spear and Fang for said ritual), and masonry (the colosseum they built). The [[BuffySpeak Black Stuff]] [[{{Tradesnark}} ™]] may also constitute an achievement in one or more sciences (in a SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic sort of way), depending on where exactly it comes from and how they make it.
* CoolHelmet: Their champion has one in the form of a ''Triceratops'' skull.
* CurbStompBattle: Krog the ape champion dishes one to Fang, who only gets in a bite or two before (which does no real damage) being thrown around like a ragdoll after he took a drop of SuperSerum that sends him into unstoppable bloodlust. Krog ends up on the receiving end of one when Spear takes all of the serum.
* EliteMook: The tribe consists of hundreds of small, white apes (somewhat resembling Japanese snow monkeys) and five huge, powerful black-furred gorilla-like warriors.
* EvolutionaryLevels: Played With. Despite being ''physically'' less advanced than Spear and even the Primitive Men, technologically they are ''more'' advanced than either.
* EyeScream: A justifiably enraged Spear socks Krog (rather neatly) through the eye socket of his helmet causing blood to smear out. Not that it does any good.
* FangsAreEvil: They have ape-like, pointy canine teeth. [[spoiler:After Krog drinks the serum, his teeth grow in length, fitting his bloodthirsty rage.]]
* FrazettaMan: They manage to simultaneously [[InvertedTrope Invert]] this trope while still playing it straight. They look like anthropomorphic apes, have a violent, crude culture, and seem to enjoy hurting others. They kidnap both Fang and Spear for unknown purposes, either as food or entertainment (or both). The inversion comes in when you consider that having a culture and organized society ''at all'' [[NormalFishInATinyPond actually makes them the]] ''[[NormalFishInATinyPond most]]'' [[NormalFishInATinyPond advanced group around.]] [[spoiler:Until the demon comes along.]]
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: The shaman wears a long cloak that covers everything but his ([[AmbiguousGender or her]]) face and arms.
* HateSink: In a cruel kill or be killed world, these apes are the first thing that could be considered evil, given they kidnap other creatures and murder them for entertainment. Their champions flat out kill each other, just for the right to murder the victim.
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Their champion greatly wounds Fang, seemingly killing her.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:The black liquid they used to strengthen their champion was ingested by Spear, strengthening him and starting a killing spree.]]
* HornsOfVillainy: Krog wears a ''Triceratops'' skull as a helmet during his fight against Fang.
* IntelligentPrimate: Despite looking like bipedal great apes and not wearing clothes apart from their shaman, they have human-level intelligence as they are able to have organized society and culture (if a very brutal and sadistic one).
* KillEmAll: Pretty much [[spoiler:''none'' of them survive after Spear takes the black potion and massacres all of them, even the ones that tried to retreat]].
* KillerGorilla: All of the champion nominees are giant gorilla-men, and kill each other over the title.
* KingKongCopy: Krog, the ape-man champion turns into one of these [[spoiler:after drinking from the black potion]].
* KnightOfCerebus: Antagonists in the show had previously just been out looking for food or, in the case of the mammoths, out to avenge a member of their herd. These apes kidnap creatures, hold a brutal contest where their larger warriors murder each other, just for the right to [[spoiler:drink a black potion and murder their captives]]. In a series that mostly operates on GreyAndGreyMorality, these apes have proven the closest thing to characters who can be considered evil. [[spoiler:At least until the demon makes his presence known.]]
** Also, the season one episodes after their appearance take significantly more inspiration from horror, with several having explicit (''The Coven'') or implied (''The Plague of Madness'', ''The Night Feeder'') supernatural element.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: After seeing a [[spoiler:juiced-up Spear massacre their leader and a good number of them]], the remaining ones attempt to hightail it out of there. The [[spoiler:keyword here being [[KillEmAll "attempt"]]]].
* LightningBruiser: Krog didn't become the central champion of the ape-men tribe for nothing. He's made short work out of the other gorilla competitors by overpowering them with powerful strikes from his blows while also tanking any attack that he's received from them. He even took down and slaughtered the largest and strongest fighter by using his agility first before resorting to brute strength by evading his attack via sliding underneath him, jumping onto his back, flipping him over, and finally beats him to death until there's nothing but blood on his hands.
* LuddWasRight: They have one of the more culturally and technologically-advanced societies in Spear and Fang's world, but they're also some of the ''only'' creatures shown thus far to be unambiguously and unrepentantly evil.
* LudicrousGibs: [[spoiler:A lot of these guys are reduced to this.]]
* ManiacMonkeys: Unlike most other monsters the duo meet, these simians are not only intelligent, but they also exhibit a culture of violence and cruelty.
* MookHorrorShow: Their final scene is this, as they run in terror from [[spoiler:Spear, who is eviscerating them left and right]].
* NoSell: Fang took the opportunity to bite Krog's arm while battling him. While she did manage to draw blood from him, the ape didn't even flinch in pain at the slightest and continued to beat her to a pulp regardless.
* OhCrap: The white monkeys stared with confusion and bewilderment when Krog took a sip from the black liquid.
** Spear transforming into a monster made some of the monkeys panic and tried with all of their might to prevent it from happening. It didn't work out for them.
** Right when Spear caught both of Krog's arms, the powerful ape who's previously beaten and massacred Fang, ''a tyrannosaur'' to a pulp, recoils in anxiety while also looking shocked that someone can actually best him in combat... Spear then tears off said arms in response and gets reduced into a bloody mess.
** After ''finally'' realizing that the unstoppable transformed Spear was too much for them to handle, they've just now gotten the memo to actually "escape" with their lives. Lo and behold, Spear leaves none of them alive and instead, he created a LudicrousGibs cemetery.
* OneWingedAngel: The effect of the SuperSerum.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: [[spoiler:After brutally beating up Fang to the point where it looks like he killed her, the champion kinda deserved [[CruelAndUnusualDeath what he got]].]]
* PrimalChestPound: The largest gorilla warrior pounds his chest while fighting Krog. Then Krog also does it [[spoiler:directly after drinking the SuperSerum]].
* RedEyesTakeWarning: After sipping a bit of the SuperSerum Krog's eyes morph into blank red eyes, which makes him look monstrous and ruthless.
* ReligionOfEvil: They hold strange and violent rituals held by a priest.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:After the shaman's and Krog's deaths, the rest of the tribe immediately ZergRush a juiced-up Spear in an attempt to take him down despite the [[BullyingADragon discrepancy in power]]. It ends [[CurbStompBattle as well as one, would expect]].]]
* StrongEmpireShriveledEmperor: They have a violent society where apparently AsskickingEqualsAuthority - except for their shaman/high priest, who is the skinniest, most frail member of the tribe, but also seems to be the highest authority, refereeing the tournament and controlling the SuperSerum.
* SuperSerum: Have one in the form of black goo that increases the size and muscle mass of the individual affected. It also makes them super-aggressive, doubling as a PsychoSerum.
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:The Ape Men being primitive doesn't really defend them from this trope, unlike it would with other creatures, as the Apes were shown to be smarter than many other creatures in the series. But the fact that the Apes only retreated after Spear overwhelmed them and not after he had drunk the potion or right after he killed their Champion, qualifies them for being some of the dumbest characters in the series compared to Spear or the Primitive Men.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** One of the apes that had his arm broken by Krog randomly disappeared without a trace. Either the small apes that tied up Spear and Fang presumably took him to shelter or he crawled off somewhere else not wanting to be in a worse condition.
** For that matter, the bodies of the other apes killed by Krog seem to vanish as well.
** [[spoiler:The Season 1 finale shows that there are even more clans of them, clans with better weapons and perhaps the ability to enslave other species.]]
* ZergRush: This is their primary strategy when facing large and powerful enemies.

%%[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see the matriarch]][[/labelnote]]]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Amanda Troop
A group of prehistoric women who perform dark magic who are lead by their supernatural matriarch.
----
* AmbiguouslyEvil: The coven performs dark magic and drains the life out of any cavemen that cross their path but they only appear to use said life to birth a child that they take care of and seem to have genuine love for. That said, it could be a case of EvenEvilHasLovedOnes, especially since it hardly mitigates what they do to the ritual victims in the first place.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: They're shown to have supernatural powers unmatched by other characters in the setting, appear to reproduce asexually through a sacrificial ritual, and apparently evaporate into green ether when they're killed (if Spear even killed them when he struck them). There's also their matriarch, who almost ''[[HumanoidAbomination certainly]]'' [[HumanoidAbomination isn't human]].
* AnimalEyeSpy: The matriarch can apparently see through the eyes of her pterosaur, which glow the same shade of green as her own when she uses this ability.
* BlackMagic: This is what the witches practice, allowing them to wither people into corpses, control minds--including of animals--float in the air, travel through time, (though only as observers) and shapeshift.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: They see no issue with sacrificing the souls of others to become infant witches, but otherwise seem to live a rather normal and extremely human life, with genuine family bonds and normal interpersonal interactions despite their disturbing activities. It's [[GreyAndGrayMorality quite sobering.]]
* CanisMajor: The matriarch shapeshifts into a gigantic wolf to attack her rogue sister for freeing Spear.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: These witches perform dark rituals that include draining the life of other people, but they seem to be loving and protective parents to their magically-created children.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The witches' eyes glow green when using their powers.
* HornsOfVillainy: The childless witches, as well as the matriarch, have deer-like antlers (in the former's case, they might be just branches attached to their head as symbolic antlers). They seem to lose their antlers when given a child to take care of.
* HumanoidAbomination: The matriarch of the Coven at first appears to have a human silhouette but she is unnaturally tall, even standing above Spear, combined with her shapeshifting powers and the form she takes during the ritual where she turns into a shadowy wendigo-like creature, it's possible that she wasn't human to begin with.
* LargeAndInCharge: The witches are much shorter than Spear. The matriarch is much taller than him.
* MageSpecies: A possibility, given their reproduction and their bizarre nature.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: The witches look like elderly women, and are much shorter than Spear, except for their [[LargeAndInCharge very tall matriarch]].
* OutsideGenreFoe: Compared to the usual [[PrehistoricMonster adversaries]] Fang and Spear fight [[EverythingTryingToKillYou regularly]], this coven of shapeshifting, black-magic hags stands out.
* PteroSoarer: The matriarch rides a gigantic pterosaur that looks like an oversized, toothy ''Pteranodon'' with very sparse pycnofibres.
* ShoutOut: Them wearing branches on their heads and the leader's shadow form seem to invoke the "Sorcerer" cave painting, also known as 'Antler Man'. [[Creator/GenndyTartakovsky Given the creator of the series]], though, it could just as easily--or additionally--be a reference to [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Aku]]; the genuine abomination-form that the matriarch takes even looks like the [[BuffySpeak Aku-ified]] form forced on Ashi for the series finale of that show, just with more green added.
* SicklyGreenGlow: The color of their magic, and eyes, and the fire in their sacrifices.
* SnakesAreSinister: The matriarch conjures a green glowing snake that slithers down the sacrifice's throat and then back into the matriarch's body, so that it can steal the sacrifice's life energy and create a baby from it.
* UncertainDoom: When pursuing Spear he stabs at several of them, causing them to disappear in clouds of glowing runes - it's unclear if they were killed or were able to use their magic to teleport away.
* WickedWitch: A prehistoric example, resembling short, elderly women with heavy brows and greenish skin, and performing dark rituals that include stealing the life essence from men to produce babies.

[[folder:Lula]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Amanda Troop
The good witch who helps Spear and Fang escape the Coven after finding out some commonalities with them.
----
* AllInTheManual: As usual, her name is never spoken on-screen, it only appears in the end credits.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She's shunned by the rest of her Coven for having lost her child, a child given to her by the matriarch.
* CleverCrows: Lula takes the form of a giant crow in order to challenge the shapeshifted matriarch.
* CommonalityConnection: The reason why she decides to help Spear and Fang - after learning that both of them are parents who lost their children, she feels a commonality to them.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: In a way, what the Witches were doing bound them to be damned. Lula's actions to save Spear and Fang, after learning how not so different they were, and knowing she will be killed for it, redeemed her from such a fate and reunited with her daughter in the afterlife.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Knowing she has no way to escape nor fight back, she calmly lets herself be killed by the matriarch to allow Fang and Spear to escape.
* HeelFaceTurn: At first willing to sacrifice Spear in order to get the coven another child, once she witnesses the bond between Spear and Fang and how it relates to her, she changes her mind and frees the duo despite knowing it would mean her death.
* HeroicSacrifice: She stalls and let's herself be killed by the matriarch in order to allow Fang and Spear to escape.
* MamaBear: She is fiercely protective of her daughter, hissing at the other witches while embracing her. When the child dies ChasingAButterfly, she's devastated.
* TokenGoodTeammate: She is the only one who seems reluctant to take part in the coven's rituals--she also stands out in that she's one of the few members to not have antlers on her head and to not beg for a child from the matriarch. In fact, after learning how Spear and Fang lost their respective families (and how they ultimately ended up bonding), and then remembering how she had lost her own daughter, Lula turns against the coven and frees the duo, [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished ultimately sacrificing herself in the process]].

!!Dinosaurs
[[folder:Horned Tyrannosaurs]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_2357.jpeg]]
A pack of monstrous predators who kill both Spear's and Fang's families.
----
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: The alpha is gigantic, at the size of a sauropod. It's understandable if you mistake its normal-sized pack members as its children.
* BizarreSexualDimorphism: The GrandFinale implies that Fang is a female individual of the Horned Tyrannosaur species, as her son develops similar horns as them, horns that his father lacked.
* EvilIsBigger: Most of them are slightly bigger than Fang, the sympathetic ''Tyrannosaurus'', and their leader is humongous, with a body length between 20 and 30 meters.
* HornsOfVillainy: All of them have horns (two of them having a ''Ceratosaurus''-like horn, another a horn arrangement like an African rhinoceros, and the last one small hornlets on the snout similar to ''Alioramus''), which the more sympathetic ''Tyrannosaurus'' Fang lacks.
* InformedSpecies: Downplayed in that, despite their horns, they possess the general body size (save for the sauropod-sized alpha), proportions, and two-fingered hands of ''Tyrannosaurus''. Although the one with the most (and smallest) horns is the closest looking to a real ''Tyrannosaurus''.
* KingOfTheDinosaurs: Of the "terrifying PrehistoricMonster" variety. Despite their horns, all of them are identified in the animatic as ''T. rex'', and they are shown to be fierce, bloodthirsty creatures. Their alpha is also [[AnimalsNotToScale gigantic]], at least twice the size of the largest real life tyrannosaurs.
* MadeOfPlasticine: As typical for a gory series. Spear can kill one of them by throwing a spear through its torso like a bullet. Though downplayed, the absence of a brutal death for the third member of the trio during Spear and Fang's fight with them implies that Fang successfully killed it by caving its head in with a TailSlap.
* MightyGlacier: The alpha tyrannosaur is absolutely the largest of the pack whose attacks were so lethargic that Spear and Fang can easily dodge almost every attempted strike. However, it did put up more of a fight than the others did as one TailSlap from the beast sent Fang flying at least several feet away as well as smacking her into the ground with a measly claw swipe.
* MixAndMatchCritters: They are the correct size and shape for a ''T. rex'', but they have horns like rhinos, ''Ceratosaurus'', or ''Alioramus''.
* MonstrousCannibalism: The Horned Tyrannosaurs are either the same species as Fang or at least a closely related species. This does not stop them from seeing Fang's offspring as prey. TruthInTelevision in that their species really were cannibalistic.
* NonMaliciousMonster: They're just predators targeting what they think are prey.
* OnlyAFleshWound: Spear bashes one of the horned tyrannosaurs' legs in with a rock, resulting in a compound fracture, but after a few seconds of screaming it just snaps the leg back into place and keeps attacking like nothing happened, though it does seem to have a limp for the short period it survives after fixing its leg.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: They are a dark shade of red with prominent black stripes.
* StarterVillain: Their killing of their families made them the first foes that Spear and Fang fight together.
* WouldHurtAChild: They have no issue seeing children, human or dinosaur, as their next meal.
* YourSizeMayVary: The alpha is enormous, but how big it varies from scene to scene. In its first appearance, it seems gigantic, with the other tyrannosaurs looking like infants next to it; in the scene where it attacks Fang's babies, it only seems slightly larger than its other pack-members.

[[folder:Raptors]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_7364.jpeg]]
A pack of dinosaurs living on a savannah who attack Spear and Fang.
----
* BookEnds: They are seen in the beginning chasing down Fang and Spear. They appear in the end [[spoiler:when Spear decides to lure the giant bats into the tall grass where the raptors live [[EnemyCivilWar so they can deal with each other]].]]
* ChekhovsGunman: They appear at the start of the episode and [[spoiler:become important in the duo's escape strategy from the flock of bats, as the duo lure the bats into the same tall grass they live in]].
* HomefieldAdvantage: They refuse to pursue Spear and Fang into the territory of the giant bats after sundown and return to the field of tall grass but when [[spoiler:the bats are lured into the same field at sunrise, they have no qualms about attacking them and seem to have the advantage]].
* OneHitPointWonder: One strike from Spear's weapon or one bite from Fang is usually enough to kill them.
* RaptorAttack: They have the classic scaly raptor look popularized by ''Film/JurassicPark''. However, they are roughly correctly sized for ''Deinonychus''.
* SetAMookToKillAMook: At the end of the episode, [[spoiler:Spear and Fang run into the tall grass to get the raptors to engage the bats chasing them]].
* StockDinosaurs: Based on their size and appearance, they are most likely ''Deinonychus''.
* ZergRush: Their attack strategy is based only on numbers. The pack that attacks Spear and Fang consists of about a hundred individuals (most of which [[OneHitPointWonder die from a single hit]]).
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Argentinosaurus'']]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_550.jpeg]]
A herd of sauropods living peacefully in a valley, until one of them gets infected with a plague.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: David Krentz, who wrote the episode, [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/512499736515706894/699202965831155763/unknown-10.png confirmed]] the sauropods to be ''Argentinosaurus''. The animatic, however, just calls them "sauropods".
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: They are depicted chewing their food and galloping, neither of which sauropods are capable of in real life. The artists also make the fairly common mistake of putting sauropod nostrils on their foreheads. While this is indeed where the nostril ''openings'' are on the skulls of most sauropods, the actual fleshy nostrils would've been in a more typical location further down on the snout. Additionally, while their forefeet are accurately designed (with the thumb claw being the only visible digit), their hindfeet have four claws in certain shots whereas almost all advanced sauropods had only three.
* GentleGiantSauropod: Normally. They are inoffensive for their large size but will fight back if they have to, such as the infected one hurling the infected hadosaur after it bit it with enough force to finish it off, or how one of them tries to subdue the now-mad victim when it tramples the herd's eggs only to be the next to die.
* InformedSpecies: Their heads are more like that of ''Camarasaurus'', likely because ''Argentinosaurus'' was sometimes restored this way. Their forefeet also have phalangeal bones, whereas real titanosaurs walked on their knuckles.
* RedShirt: The rest of the herd end up being killed by their diseased member.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: The last ''Argentinosaurus'' just tries to run as fast as it can from the massacre. Unfortunately for it, the plague monster quickly catches up and body-slams it into the sharp branches of a massive tree, impaling it to death.
* ShownTheirWork: They correctly have only a single claw on the forefoot like a real sauropod. They also have brachiosaur-like bodies appropriate for a giant macronarian, and osteoderms found preserved on titanosaur fossils.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Night Feeder]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d_68.jpg]]

A mysterious, nocturnal predator that hunts in some dark woods that Spear and Fang travel through. Its speed and strength are unmatched, as is its sadism.
----
* AbsurdlySharpClaws: It has huge, therizinosaur-like claws which it uses to cut through animals and trees like they're made of paper. At one point it even manages to perfectly bisect a ceratopsian, snout-to-tail, as though prepping it for an anatomical diagram.
* AssholeVictim: Unlike the Plague Monster, the Night Feeder has no redeeming qualities whatsoever which is why Spear and Fang stare at its death in TranquilFury.
* AxeCrazy: It does not kill solely to survive, it just kills because it ''can'', leaving carcasses everywhere. It drives a group of herbivores into a helpless desperate kind of insane panic as it strikes their members one at a time and building their fear to that end.
* CoveredInGunge: Appears to be dripping in a black tar-like substance which has a foul odor, and presumably gives it stealth in the dark. It's also highly flammable as a result.
* TheDreaded: The dinosaurs seem to be instinctively terrified of the Night Feeder. Even Fang turns and initially bolts for the trees upon first smelling it, passing up a perfectly good kill.
* DirtyCoward: It seems to intentionally terrify its victims before going in for the kill but when confronted with fire it immediately starts fleeing.
* EvilSmellsBad: It has a very foul odor, which is the only way anyone can sense its presence.
* {{Foil}}: To the Plague Monster. They're both [[LightningBruiser fast monsters]] and are the antagonists of their respective episodes that has the intent to kill everything in their path right until they encounter our protagonists. They also [[KillItWithFire burn to their deaths at the end of their episodes]]. The key differences is that the Plague Monster was an infected ''Argentinosaurus'' driven by madness by a viral infection, to the point that despite unable to be able to fight back against it, Spear and Fang [[TragicMonster pities the poor dinosaur as it turns to ashes]]. The Night Feeder is a sadistic monster that kills anything that moves, to the point that Spear and Fang are capable of fighting back against it that they set it on fire, and stare at it with pure contempt. To further the contrast, the Plague Monster was a peaceful herbivore, the Night Feeder is a carnivore.
* GlassCannon: Incredibly fast and powerful, capable of effortlessly toppling several redwood trees and slicing through an entire herd of ceratopsids, but is killed in one hit by a flaming spear shot.
* HateSink: A sadistic monster that enjoys killing innocent creatures just for the sake of it, not even eating the carcasses of its victims. The Night Feeder is basically a prehistoric serial killer, and as a result it's rather hard to feel sorry for it when it finally dies at the hands of our protagonists.
* HellIsThatNoise: Emits a warbling, high-pitched shriek that's far from pleasant to listen to.
* HomeFieldAdvantage: It hunts ravenously at night where it tends to blend within the darkness where any "trespasser" is unable to make out what the beast even looks like and goes in for the kill. When Spear and Fang are in the middle of a foggy location, it can also be seen as an accidental death sentence where the Night Feeder seems to have depth perception of where its enemies are located.
* TheHunterBecomesTheHunted: It makes the mistake of going after Spear and Fang, and ''almost'' succeeds, but they accidentally discover its weakness to light and it's forced to flee. The next night, the Night Feeder is the one running for its life from, and is ultimately killed by, what it intended to be its prey.
* ItCanThink: It has at least enough intelligence to be [[ForTheEvulz deliberately sadistic]] rather than simply killing for survival.
* InnateNightVision: Another possible ability the Night Feeder might actually have, as it was able to perfectly see victims from afar without having the need to capture the scent of its prey.
* KillItWithFire: How it meets its end, Spear lights his weapon on fire and catches it off guard, impaling it and having it burn from the inside out until its nothing but ashes.
* LightningBruiser: It does not slow down at all once it gets going, to the point it seems almost supernatural. While it does so, it has enough strength and momentum to reduce most animals to LudicrousGibs and topple thick pine trees.
* LogicalWeakness: It appears to be covered in a foul-smelling oil- or tar-like substance, which gives it stealth in the darkness. This however also makes it ''[[KillItWithFire highly flammable]]''.
* MadeOfEvil: {{Implied|Trope}}. At one point Fang appears to get a bite out of it and the blood covering her face causes her to start reeling. The blood also seems to be ''black''.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Apparently frustrated at how Spear and Fang have been evading it for so long, it unleashes a hellish screech that causes Spear to clutch his head in pain and leaves him vulnerable to attack.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's unclear whether the Night Feeder is just an exceptionally agile, strong and cruel beast or some magically enhanced monster.
* MixAndMatchCritters: It looks like a hybrid between ''Baryonyx'' and ''Therizinosaurus''.
* NearVillainVictory: The Night Feeder ''almost'' had Spear on a platter after making an ear-splitting shriek, making the neanderthal flailing his spear as a desperate attempt to fight back. At an ounce of coincidental luck, his weapon managed to create a spark of light that ignited the ground with fire. The mere sight of the flames made the murderous beast recoil in a highly panicked state and retreated without hesitation.
* NonIndicativeName: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. It's called The Night Feeder and while it most certainly only attacks at night, one of its defining characteristics is that it ''doesn't'' eat the corpses in its wake, implying that it kills out of sadism.
* NothingIsScarier: Its hook, which it takes full advantage of, is being so fast and striking so brutally that no one knows what's actually attacking them. We see everything only from its perspective as it does so and never see it until the last minute of its episode, though still not completely clearly, as it's burning and wreathed in flames.
* OminousFog: Where the Night Feeder usually strikes is by slaying any living thing that are surrounded in misty areas in the forests.
* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: {{Implied|Trope}}. It’s hinted (though never confirmed) that the Night Feeder is the transformed version of a small bug-eating theropod Fang and Spear see at a river – possibly eating the flies drawn in by its rampages at night.
* RageBreakingPoint: The ravenous creature screeched at the top of its lungs like a demonic banshee out of nothing but severe irritation, and it wasn't able to entirely focus on killing the more "important enemy". Mainly because of how Spear was too evasive and agile to even slice him to caveman chunks, and [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Fang was possibly the first being to actually injure it.]] The nail in the coffin is when the duo tried yelling out to get its attention by intentionally running away in different directions, and by that moment letting out a deafening wail cemented the charade that enough is enough.
* RunOrDie: This marks the second time after the infected argentinosaurus that Fang and Spear are in this sort of situation. The Night Feeder is so fast and strong, and tends to come out of nowhere giving almost no time to dodge, that Fang and Spear have no hope of defeating it in anything like direct combat. Inverted once the two figure out its weakness, which results in them killing it.
* WeakenedByTheLight: It seems to have an extreme sensitivity to light or fire as a brief spark makes it pull back and a small fire is enough to send it into a full-blown retreat. Since it's covered in some kind of black goo, it may be highly flammable. Spear and Fang use this to their advantage by making strategic sparks to force it into a circle of trees that they ignite and form a ring of fire to prevent it from escaping.
* {{Whateversaurus}}: It seems to be some sort of theropod dinosaur with huge claws on its hands, but is unidentifiable beyond that. It's not even certain if it's a regular animal and not some supernatural monster.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The Night Feeder will attack anything it sees but it quickly retreats at the sight of fire. When Fang and Spear realize this, they turn the tables by exploiting that fear.

A herd of herbivores who become the Night Feeder's victims.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: While even to this day we don't know for sure what dinosaurs looked like color-wise, it's rather unlikely that some of them were ''neon green''.
* AnimalStampede: After the Night Feeder attacks them, they stampede through the forest in panic.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: One of them gets sliced in half ''snout to tail'' by the Night Feeder.
* InformedSpecies: While the animatic calls them ''Triceratops'', they look a lot more like ''Diabloceratops'' (though still with ''Triceratops'''s nose horn and forward-facing brow horns).
* TemperCeratops: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. One of them starts acting up when it senses it's being stalked, [[OhCrap until it gets a good look at its stalker.]] The herd as a whole later attempts to mount a defense against the Night Feeder, but only once fleeing proves not to be an option. [[CurbStompBattle Not that it does them any good.]]

A large feathered dinosaur hunted by Fang, Spear and Mira.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: Its genus was revealed by David Krentz.
* GoofyFeatheredDinosaur: It is a prey animal that acts like a chicken, makes comical flamingo-like honking vocalizations, and is quickly killed. Unlike many examples of this trope, however, [[ShownTheirWork it's actually feathered in a realistic and accurate fashion]] with the "goofy" aspect coming mainly from its behaviour.
* HopeSpot: It avoids both Fang and Spear trying to hunt it and gets away safely across the river... just to be shot be Mira.
* OneHitKill: Mira kills it with a single shot from her bow and arrow.

Giant birds captured by the Chieftain and Eldar, ridden and forced into fighting Spear, Fang and Mira
----
* BizarreSexualDimorphism: What are presumed to be males have bright red feathers on their heads in various different arrangements. Completely bald birds are seen in the nest and are presumably female.
* BrutalBirdOfPrey: They are monstrous avians that resemble condors and are quite dangerous.
* GiantFlyer: They're about the same size as Fang and are very capable fliers
* MixAndMatchCritters: They closely resemble teratorns (or rather, outdated depictions of them as vulture-like) but have teeth like Mesozoic birds.
* NonMaliciousMonster: They're not actually interested in fighting the trio but are being forced to by the Chieftain and Eldar. Once they're released, they quickly fly away.
* ToothyBird: They possess numerous teeth in otherwise typical beaks. Perhaps a small bit of unintended accuracy as several extinct avian dinosaurs possess at least partial beaks while retaining functional teeth.
* VileVulture: Downplayed. They resemble giant toothed vultures, but are not particularly aggressive and are content with leaving the trio alone once they are released.

A giant water predator that attacks Spear as he's fishing.
----
* AnimalsNotToScale: The real ''Deinosuchus'' was very big, around 10 meters long, but this one is even bigger.
* EstablishingSeriesMoment: This giant croc is the first creature encountered in the series, attacking Spear as he hunts fish. In the brief moment of its presence, it establishes [[DeathWorld the setting]], [[PrehistoricMonster the creatures living in this world]], and the [[EverythingTryingToKillYou daily struggle to simply survive]].
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: A hungry predator that lunges at Spear as he is fishing.

[[folder:Pterosaur]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_63572.jpeg]]
A large flying creature trying to take some fish from Spear.
----
* EstablishingSeriesMoment: A secondary one. The pterosaur shows that the ''Deinosuchus'' moment was no fluke and that Spear is nowhere near the top of the food chain. The world is full of monsters he'd prefer not to fight, even if it means going hungry. And these monsters have things that ''they're'' afraid of, too.
* GiantFlyer: This pterosaur towers over Spear.
* MixAndMatchCritters: It has the long neck and body proportions of ''Quetzalcoatlus'', a bony crest on the back of its head similar to ''Pteranodon'', and a toothed bill and fleshy crest-like ''Pterodactylus''.
* OneShotCharacter: It lands, smells Spear's fish, roars at something, and then leaves the show for good.
* PteroSoarer: It appears to be hairless, has five fingers on its wings (four claws plus the long membrane-holding finger), and is a mix-match of different pterodactyloids. At least it walks (mostly) on four limbs and does not grasp anything with its feet.
* ShownTheirWork: For all its inaccuracies, at least it is quadrupedal, has non-columnar forelimbs, and hunts terrestrially like a large azhdarchid. It is also one of the few pterosaurs in fiction to be depicted with a fleshy crest, which we know some pterosaurs to have possessed in real life.

* SnakesAreSinister: They are gigantic snakes and hostile predators.

----
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Spear kills it by driving his spear through its skull.
* InformedSpecies: Zig-zagged. While David Krentz confirms it to be a ''Liopleurodon'', the animatic calls it a ''Tylosaurus''.
* SeaMonster: It is a monstrous sea creature with gaping jaws and is capable of roaring.

A gigantic sea turtle met and hunted by Spear and Fang during their journey across the sea.
----
* AnimalsNotToScale: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], there are a few shots where next to Spear it looks positively gargantuan, but it usually appears only slightly oversized (it bears keeping in mind, of course, that ''Archelon'' really was a downright massive turtle either way).
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Looks more like like an oversized modern Chelonoidea turtle than an actual Archelon. Additionally, it retains flippers claws, while protostegids like ''Archelon'' were much more streamlined.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Spear quickly realizes that the only way to kill it is to attack its throat, but fails at doing so. Fang does it with a single bite to the neck.
* GracefulInTheirElement: Dangerously nimble and durable underwater, it gets killed as soon as it faces Fang above the surface.
* SeaMonster: While not outright aggressive, it still is a huge marine reptile and quite dangerous when provoked.
* SturdyAndSteadyTurtles: Subverted. While it's hard to kill and does not seem willing to give up a fight, it's also surprisingly quick.

----
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: They're miles better than the other pterosaurs seen up to this point, but they still have broad, low-aspect ratio wings more typical of inland pterosaurs, unlike the long wings of the real animal. They also appear to retain the stereotypical bird-like talons of most fictional pterosaurs (though they never grab anything with them this time).
* GiantFlyer: They're roughly the same size as the giant bats - though unlike them, this species really WAS that big.

* AnimalsNotToScale: The ''Syndyoceras'' in the flashback scene of "A Cold Death" is around the size of a large moose. In real life it was as big as a medium-sized deer or antelope, weighing about 60 kg.

A herd of intelligent giant beasts migrating through a frozen wasteland.
----
* AnimalsNotToScale: Real-life woolly mammoths were slightly smaller than African elephants. These beasts, especially their matriarch, are at least twice as big, towering over Fang, a ''Tyrannosaurus''.
* AntiVillain: The mammoths attack Spear and Fang remorselessly, but it's only because they ate one of their own and took away its tusk. Once Spear gives it to them, they retreat to [[ElephantGraveyard ceremonial grounds]].
* CruelElephant: Subverted. They're aggressive and try to kill Spear and Fang, but only because they took the tusk of the elderly mammoth with them. Once Spear gives them the tusk, they stop attacking.
* DueToTheDead: They hold a funeral ceremony for the elderly mammoth, swinging side to side while humming and touching his tusk with their trunks. While it's not known if actual mammoths did this, modern elephants certainly do.
* ElephantGraveyard: They take the tusk of their fallen herd-mate to one of these, holding some kind of funeral ceremony for him.
* EyeScream: Subverted. Spear uses a rock to seemingly smash the eye of the elderly mammoth into a bloody pulp, but the eye itself remains intact.
* GeniusBruiser: As expected from a herd of elephants. They are giants who can smash rock with their heads, are intelligent enough to track enemies and take advantage of their numbers.
* HandicappedBadass: The old mammoth who got lost from the herd was old, clearly sick, and missing a tusk. It still put an impressive fight.
* HonorableElephant: The mammoths are presented as particularly intelligent prehistoric beasts who mourn for their dead.
* ImplacableMan: When the mammoth herd wants to avenge their dead, they will pursue the object of their vengance and they walk off everything Fang and Spear throw at them.
* ItCanThink: The fact that they can comprehend vengeance and give DueToTheDead shows that they are not by any means stupid.
* LargeAndInCharge: The mammoths are all giants, but the matriarch of the herd is noticeably bigger than the rest.
* LightningBruiser: They aren't as fast as Spear and Fang, but they are by no means slow despite their bulk.
* MammothsMeanIceAge: Not exactly Ice Age, but they are shown living in a snowy environment.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The matriarch cares for the rest of her herd, and is convinced by Spear to allow him and Fang to live.
* ShownTheirWork: In real life, Elephants will hold funeral ceremonies for a deceased member of the herd much like the ones the mammoths hold in the show. The caressing of the dead elephant's remains and swaying are all real elephant behaviours.
* SuperToughness: The elderly mammoth was resilient despite her age. The younger ones can take getting bitten by Fang and it does no lasting damage to them.

* OhCrap: They quickly scatter when the mammoth herd approaches them.
* OneShotCharacter: They scavenge on the corpse of the mammoth, then retreat when the other mammoths return.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: Without the large jutting fangs, their white fur, cyan colored pupils, and black sclera, they look downright identical to the lone wolf from Season 5 of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack''. It's unclear if this design was considered to be intentional or not but the resemblance is without a doubt uncanny.

A flock of monstrous bats terrorizing the savannah during a blood moon.
----
* AirborneMooks: The first flying enemies that Spear and Fang have to face.
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: They have blood-red fur.
* AnimalsNotToScale: They are far bigger than any real-life bat species, close in size to the largest pterosaurs.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Their rear legs bend the wrong way for bats. On real bats, the legs face backwards, so the knees bend forward and the toes face towards the tail, and they walk plantigrade, with their heels on the ground. These giant bats have forward-facing, digitigrade legs, making them look more like a wyvern or dragon.
* AvengingTheVillain: After the GiantSpider is killed, the bats sought to avenge its death.
* BadMoonRising: They attack during a blood moon.
* BatOutOfHell: They are blood-red, gigantic, and incredibly horrifying.
* BerserkButton: When the giant spider is dead, they lose it and hunt down Fang and Spear.
* BigRedDevil: While they are presumably naturally evolved animals and not supernatural, their humanoid anatomy, skull-like faces and bright red skin are clearly meant to make them evoke classical demon imagery.
* CaptainErsatz: They resemble the vampiric bat-like humanoids from ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania2'' (also directed by Creator/GenndyTartakovsky), except colored red and unable to talk.
* DecapitatedArmy: Inverted. The death of the GiantSpider only causes them the entire flock to relentlessly hunt down Spear and Fang.
* TheDreaded: They are the reason the local primitive humanoids always hide in the dark. Even the raptors flee when they know when the bats are approaching.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When one of the primitive men breaks his leg, another decided to help him out. He gets swooped up in an instant by the giant bats.
* FragileSpeedster: The bats can be killed easily, but they are '''fast'''. So much so that when they are initially picking off the primitive men, the audience isn't even able to see what they look like.
* GiantFlyer: They can fly and are larger than Fang.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Look closely, and you might notice some simian (or human-like) features, such as a short snout, enlarged craniums, the aforementioned forward-bending knees, and their shrieks sound rather monkey-like in some scenes. Appropriately, the animatic calls them "man-bats".
* ZergRush: While significantly larger than Fang, these creatures prefer to use numbers over size to overwhelm their foes.

[[folder:Wild Dogs]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/primordifal_dog.png]]
A pack of giggling scavengers that pursue Spear and a wounded Fang after their skirmish with the Ape Men.
----
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Despite the fact that they're identified as wild dogs, they also somewhat resemble hyenas (even using the spotted hyena's famous laugh occasionally). Canines and hyenas are not closely related to each other. They do, however, resemble borophagines, extinct canids with hyena-like bone-crushing jaws.
* BoringButPractical: A villainous variety. Chronologically, they enter the story after Spear and Fang have done battle against Ape Men powered by a mystical [[SuperSerum super serum]]. The wild dogs, in contrast, are more your typical garden-variety scavengers... but they are still a huge problem for a near-dead tyrannosaur, and Spear rightly regards them as such.
* BullyingADragon: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Though they have numbers on their side, it's clear that under ordinary circumstances the dogs wouldn't go anywhere near a healthy, adult tyrannosaur but with Fang severely injured and barely able to move, the dogs are emboldened enough to decide to try and make a meal out of her. It's only due to the constant vigilance of Spear that they're kept at bay. Once Fang finally recovers [[CurbstompBattle it goes as well for the dogs as you'd expect]] and their remaining members promptly decide to [[KnowWhenToFoldEm cut their losses and flee]].
* HeinousHyena: They have the "giggle" of spotted hyenas.
* HellIsThatNoise:
** Their silent, ominous vigil over Spear in the first half of the episode is always accompanied by a horrible, blaring three-note theme.
** Their giggling also counts... especially in the moments [[NothingIsScarier where you can't see the dogs themselves]].
* MixAndMatchCritters: They share traits with both African wild dogs and hyenas.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Their most prominent physical characteristic, seen as they watch Spear from the gloom beyond his campfire.
* SavageWolves: Not wolves per se, but they play the part well enough.
* SuperPersistentPredator: They stalk Spear and Fang nonstop for days, waiting for an opportunity to strike. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as this is completely normal behavior for predators hunting an injured prey item, especially in the case of a large animal that they would never be able to bring down in a healthy state.
* ZergRush: There are ''hundreds'' of them.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology:
** It has a head like a modern big cat rather than a true machairodont.
** A couple of them were seen biting down on Spear's father without securing him with their paws first, with one of them even sinking its sabers into his arm and ripping it off. In real life, this would cause their fragile sabers to be broken off.
* BackForTheFinale: A pack of them appear in the opening of the final episode of the second season, in a flashback detailing the death of Spear's father.
* CatsAreMean: The pack from Spear's past was extremely vicious and relentless in attacking the Neanderthals.
* LudicrousGibs: The Night Feeder shreds the big cat into pieces and leaves the corpse behind uneaten.
* PantheraAwesome: A large saber-toothed cat.
* ShownTheirWork: Its body proportions are very accurate, with long forelimbs, shorter hind legs and a hunched back similar to a hyena, as well as a short bobcat-like tail.

----
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: It's depicted with a short, tapir-like trunk. This used to be a somewhat fashionable feature in reconstructions of the genus based on the fact that its order (Embrithopoda) was once believed to be related to elephants, but has subsequently been questioned following renewed examination of its phylogenetic position and doubts that its snout structure would have been capable of supporting a trunk.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ee8d4623_39eb_4bd1_bebf_824b6b2b766b.jpeg]]
Large beasts that the Vikings use as mounts.
----
* AnimalsNotToScale: Real cave bears were comparable in size to the largest living bears. These ones are almost as big as Fang, a ''Tyrannosaurus''.
* BearsAreBadNews: These bears are just as huge and as vicious as Fang.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: They serve as the mounts of the Vikings.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Elephants]]
Enormous war beasts in the Babylonian army.
----
* AnimalsNotToScale: They are the same size as the mammoths in Season 1, larger not only than modern elephants but even the extinct giant ''Palaeoloxodon namadicus''.
* {{Expy}}: Based on their size, appearance, and the general circumstances of their encounter by the protagonists, they may be a reference to the Mumakil/Oliphaunts from ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''.
* WarElephants: The Babylonian army uses them as mounts when defending their walls against the Egyptians.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Queen's Leopard]]
* AttackAnimal: When Spear breaks into the Queen's throne room, the leopard attacks him, only to be quickly tossed away by the caveman.
* CuteKitten: As a cub, it looks absolutely adorable.
* HumanlikeAnimalAging: {{Inverted}}, it grows into an adult leopard in a few months (a shorter time than it takes for Fang's eggs to hatch) rather than 2-3 years.
* NoSell: The leopard pounces on Spear, but the cavemen simply tosses it aside. Compared to [[PrehistoricMonster the animals Spear usually fights]], a leopard is a mere kitten.
* RightHandCat: First introduced as a cub, being the pet of the Babylonian king. After the King is killed by the Egyptians, the Queen keeps the cub and raises it.

A whale-sized shark that attack Spear and Fang's raft.
----
* AlwaysABiggerFish: A literal one. The megalodon devours the ''Tropeognathus'' that is harassing Fang and Spear.
* AnimalsNotToScale: Far larger than a real life megalodon, its teeth are longer than Spear's legs. Real megalodon is estimated to be 15 to 20 meters (47 to 66 feet) long, whereas this beast seems to be at least 50 meters.
* EyeScream: Spear manages to chase it away by driving a tree trunk trough its eye.
* {{Kaiju}}: It appears to be at least twice the size of a real megalodon, putting it squarely within this category.
* {{Megalodon}}: And a very big one.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Obviously, as it's a giant prehistoric shark.
* SeaMonster: A very hostile sea beast that attempts to devour Spear and Fang.
* SwallowedWhole: Tries it with Fang, almost succeeds with Spear.
* ThreateningShark: The biggest threat Spear and Fang face during their maritime journey.

Large fish encountered by Spear and Fang during their journey across the ocean.
----
* CartoonCreature: It looks like an average arthrodire placoderm (similar but clearly much smaller than ''Dunkleosteus'') but has a tail more similar to that of a ray-finned fish.
* MonsterMunch: Like the flying fish they eat, the placoderms only serve as food for Fang and Spear.
* SpeculativeBiology: They bear a notable resemblence to Mahi Mahi, implying that in this world the species evolved from arthrodire placoderm fish instead of ray-finned fish.

[[folder:Giant Spider]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_5016.png]]
A monstrous spider living on top of a spire, apparently controlling the bats.
----
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Besides its size (which completely defies the SquareCubeLaw), it has a few odd anatomical features, including a toothy lower jaw under its chelicerae, and a silk gland inside its mouth (rather than the end of its abdomen).
* EvilTowerOfOminousness: Its lair is on top of a large stone spire, giving this impression.
* GiantSpider: Emphasis on ''giant''. It's larger than a sauropod.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Spear kills it by ramming a ''Triceratops'' horn into its head.
* InterspeciesFriendship: {{Implied|Trope}} - while it does eat the bats' kills, the fact they try to avenge it implies this is an entirely voluntary agreement on their part. The animatic implies that they feed on its leftovers.
* ItsPersonal: It does ''not'' like Fang managing to rip a chunk of its leg out, and subjects her to MetronomicManMashing afterwards. It even disregards Spear after he tries to batter another of its legs in with a rock to distract it and slaps him against the wall to focus on beating Fang some more, which just gives him the opportunity to impale it through the head with a Triceratops horn he salvaged from it's meals.
* MookCommander: Apparently it controls the bats, as they handed Spear over to it instead of eating him themselves.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: It outright ignored Spear when he tries to batter one of it's legs in with a rock to remain focused on dealing with Fang, giving him the opportunity to ambush it again with a better weapon whilst it's distracted.

[[folder:The Plague of Madness]]
A [[AmbiguousSituation pathogen/curse]] that drives its victims into a murderous rage and leaves them looking like the walking dead.
----
* TheDreaded: Anything even touched by the plague seems instinctively avoided by most living things. The carcasses of the sauropod herd killed by their infected member don't even have any ''flies'' around them, which in normal circumstances would quickly become attracted to any carcass in droves.
* GreenIsGross: Arguably the most distinctive side-effect of this unknown disease, which changes the victim's original color into a shade of yellow-green as their flesh decays. Said flesh also makes some '''really''' disgusting squelching and bubbling sounds for no apparent reason.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Plague’s continued existence relies on its infectees surviving to become moving hosts that can continue to spread it, but by infecting the Sauropod, it effectively doomed itself by infecting something too strong to NOT kill everything it attacks.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's unknown as to what exactly the Plague is or where it came from. All we know is that it drives whoever it infects to become a rampaging horror, it rots their body ''far'' faster than would happen naturally, and it can seemingly keep its victims alive well beyond the point where they ''should'' be dead. It is utterly unnatural and is given no explanation as to how or why it exists.
* NothingIsScarier: It is at no point explained or given an origin. It just exists.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent:
** It turns its host into a PlagueZombie and renders them utterly AxCrazy. It's implied the virus' victims are {{Technically Living Zombie}}s who can run very fast be killed by a broken spine, but they're still far more difficult to put down than they would be in their uninfected state, and the plague causes the infected's flesh to rapidly turn green and putrefy, exposing protrusions in the bones, making the flesh behave as if it's already dead whilst keeping the host up and running.
** Its victims seem to become even fast''er,'' to the point that something as slow and heavy as the world's largest sauropod can suddenly keep pace with a paleolithic ninja like Spear.
** Interestingly, all its victims seen so far have been non-avian dinosaurs, so it might not be capable of infecting humans.
* PlagueZombie: It spreads from host to host via bites, which the hosts it turns AxCrazy are particularly inclined toward even if they're herbivores. Note that while the plague drives distinctly herbivorous hosts to likely [[FleshEatingZombie attempt to bite the flesh of their victims]], the infected ''Argentinosaurus'' didn't eat its fellow sauropods when they were dead, and its massacre implies the infected will settle for brutally killing their victims through any means so long as they're dead.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Downplayed; both of the seen victims have these, but the ''Argentinosaurus'' and presumably the hadrosaur have these naturally. It's when [[TaintedVeins yellow veins]] appear all over said eyes that the trope is played straight.
* TaintedVeins: The final sign the plague has fully taken hold of a creature is [[MindControlEyes when their eyes become covered in yellow veins]]. Notably, right before the hadrosaur dies the veins disappear, as if it were being released from control, and the sauropod has them appear right before it goes on its killing rampage of its whole herd.
* TechnicallyLivingZombie: The plague seems only able to take effect on animals that are still living, lacking the ability to re-animate corpses in the usual zombie fashion. As such its victims aren't strictly speaking ''dead'', [[BodyHorror even if they very much look that way]].
* UndeathlyPallor: Notable for how ''fast'' this sets in; it legitimately takes less than two minutes for the infected Sauropod to start look like a walking corpse.
* TheVirus: Naturally.

[[folder:Infected Hadrosaur]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_9080.jpeg]]
A hadrosaur (possibly ''Parasaurolophus'') infected with a zombie-like plague.
----
* AxCrazy: The plague turned it into a raging monster that attacks one of the sauropods and successfully infects it.
* BloodFromTheMouth: In its final moments upon death after getting kicked into a tree, blood oozes and spills out of its maw, signifying that the animal has been finally put out of its misery from this ungodly disease.
* BodyHorror: The plague has rendered it a mutated abomination, with its eyes [[EyeScream blood-red]] and [[MindControlEyes changed to a state of madness]], pulsating sores all over its body, a sickly green complexion, and large chunks of flesh missing, with the rest of it ''rotting and melting off.'' It gets this even worse than its victim, likely due to having been infected for longer.
* KillerRabbit: While looking hideous, it is approximately around Fang's size, which is tiny compared to the sauropods. The sauropod is more curious than scared of it, which proves to be a fatal mistake.
* MindControlEyes: Right before it gives up the ghost, the TaintedVeins in its eyes vanish. Its victim in turn gets these right before it goes on its killing rampage.
* NothingIsScarier: We never learn how the hadrosaur was infected or what caused it.
* RaisingTheSteaks: A dinosaur affected by a zombie-like condition.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Its blood-red eyes indicate that it has gone completely mad.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: It charges into the herd of sauropods and bites one of them, transmitting its horrifying disease to the sauropod before being effortlessly killed by its victim.
* UndeathlyPallor: Though it was [[TechnicallyLivingZombie actually still alive]], its diseased and rotting condition made its complexion turn a sickly green.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: As noted by a Youtube commenter, the Hadrosaur is clearly in the extremely late stages of the infection, with its brain being almost completely decayed, and is barely aware of what's going on around it, stumbling around in a haze before bumping into the Sauropod and transmitting the disease via reactionary bite.
* TheVirus: It transmits its disease to its victims after biting it, turning them into plague-infected monsters.
* ZombieInfectee: The plague essentially makes it a zombie dinosaur.

[[folder:Plague Monster]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_6724.png]]
An ''Argentinosaurus'' infected with a zombie-like plague.
----
* AlasPoorVillain: Its death is a somber moment as it burns to ash while failing to escape the lava, Spear and Fang feeling sorry for the creature.
* AmbiguousGender: It's never specified if it's male or female.
* AndIMustScream: It's vaguely implied that the virus is most likely controlling the sauropod, and keeping it alive even if its body was shredded after aggressively squeezing out of the ravine and burning in lava.
* AnArmAndALeg: When the crazed beast falls into lava for the third and final time, before getting entirely scorched to death, the very first thing that goes is the burning flesh of its forelegs that incinerate almost in a StrippedToTheBone manner.
* AxCrazy: The plague turned it into a raging monster that attacks everything in sight, driving to murder its own herd, destroy their nests, and chase Fang and Spear for the entire episode.
* BloodbathVillainOrigin: Once the plague takes full control, its first order of business is killing its entire herd in a mad and bloody rage: stomping eggs into paste, ripping out throats, hitting with enough force to break bone and punch through flesh, and just plain slamming its victims into the environment with enough force to fatally impale them on it.
* BloodFromTheMouth: Its mouth and nostrils are constantly dripping blood and mucus, in fact, it projectile vomits a large amount of blood before going into its feral state.
* BodyHorror: The plague has rendered the poor beast a mutated abomination, with its eyes [[EyeScream blood-red]] and [[MindControlEyes changed to a state of madness]], pulsating sores all over its body, a sickly green complexion, and large chunks of flesh missing, with the rest of it ''rotting and melting off.'' By the time it tears its flesh open to free itself from the narrow ravine, a shot of its now-exposed ribcage bones shows there's ''no internal organs left'' behind them, just a black void. It becomes no less horrifying after it falls into lava the first time, getting cooked until its complexion turns from green into reddish, horribly-burnt flesh. And when it falls into the lava a second time, what's left of its leg burns and melts off the bone.
* TheDreaded: Fang and Spear are terrified of this thing. The first encounter leaves Spear with nightmares of it killing both of them. Fang doesn't even want to leave the safety of the cave even when it ''appears'' to be dead.
* EnemyRisingBehind: It makes its presence first known to Spear and Fang when it slowly gets up from behind both of them. It does this a second time when the pair try to sneak away after it fell into a ravine.
* {{Expy}}: Of Literature/{{Cujo}}. Both start out as a GentleGiant before being infected by a madness-inducing virus, and end up being a menace because of their great size. Both also take a lot of damage before dying.
* FaceFramedInShadow: The second Spear and Fang take notice of the sauropod's existence that's standing right behind them, the screen pans up from it's legs all the way up to it's neck and head that's mainly covered in an ominous shadowed appearance, just from how large it is, while also being accompanied with GlowingEyesOfDoom.
* GiantEqualsInvincible: Fang and Spear don't even bother trying to fight it, they know given its size they stand no chance even if it wasn't a crazed infected beast. In its relentless pursuit it does more damage to its own body than they ever could. It only dies when falls into a LavaPit.
* GreenAndMean: Inverted. Big time. The creature had no intention to be blood-thirsty or insatiably aggressive (let alone evil). The plague itself is to blame for rendering the sauropod's mind into a frantic and rabid beast whose actions weren't entirely his own. Before the infection could fully take over, all it could do was to suffer unspeakable amounts of pain.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Chases Fang and Spear onto a layer of rock over lava. The rock ground is already cracking from Fang's weight, which quickly gives way to the monster's bulk and dunking it into the lava, eventually burning it to ash.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: When this... ''thing'' makes Spear, a hardened prehistoric man, and Fang, a ''''Tyrannosaurus rex'''', ''run for their lives'', and in clear ''terror,'' then that's an achievement unto itself.
* ImplacableMan: It never stops once it sees something to attack. After falling into a ravine, it got back up. When caught in the narrow exit of the ravine, it pushed so hard it tore apart its own body. Even when sinking into lava, it still tried to pull itself free, but luckily for Fang and Spear, its bulk and the lava burning off its limbs keep it from escaping.
* InstantIllness: It starts showing signs of infection mere ''seconds'' after it was bitten by the infected hadrosaur. This is the first sign that the Plague of Madness is [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane not even]] ''[[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane remotely]]'' [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane a normal virus.]] Of course, the SmashCut to the beast's "infected" state might have been meant to represent a considerably longer period of time, perhaps a few hours, or a day or two.
* TheJuggernaut: This thing will not stop. Trees in its path get flattened. It will literally tear itself to shreds in order to get to the nearest live body and its massive size means nothing Spear or Fang could throw at it would slow it down. Even after falling into lava, it still keeps going. It's only done in after it lands into lava a second time and its weight (and limbs burning off) prevent it from escaping.
* LightningBruiser: It is '''FAR''' faster than any dinosaur its size should be (easily catching up to a fleeing Sauropod), and survives getting submerged in lava the first time. It even ''jumps'', which is even more impossible for a sauropod than just running. Whatever the Plague is, it made it ''far'' more agile than it should be. That being said...
* LogicalWeakness: Its massive size and weight made it get its neck briefly stuck in a hollowed tree, fall into a ravine, get stuck in the narrow exit of said ravine, and ultimately does it in when the volcanic rock it jumps on gives way and dunks it into a LavaPit and prevents it from escaping.
* AMoltenDateWithDeath: It takes falling in molten lava ''twice'' to put the wretched thing out of its misery.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: All that's left of it after it burns up in a lava lake is nothing but ashes scattered in the wind.
* NotQuiteDead:
** Upon falling into a ravine while trying to go after Spear and Fang at one point it slams its head into the side of the rock wall, causing blood to briefly spray out of its cranium and seems to be "kaput". After Spear and Fang wake up the sauropod looked immobile almost as if it actually died from the "concussion" earlier. They attempt to sneak past and quietly walk away... [[OhCrap until it started to move again]] meaning that it '''was''' knocked out the whole time.
** During another chase at a LavaPit the infected sauropod sinks into the magma below which gives Spear and Fang a dosage of hope thinking that it's finally gone... Only for the unkillable abomination to burst out, screaming in intense pain with burnt blood-red cooked flesh still wanting to go after them to no end.
* NothingIsScarier: As if it wasn't horrific enough, we never learn where the plague came from or how it started.
* RaisingTheSteaks: A dinosaur affected by a zombie-like condition.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: It's shown succumbing to the final stage of infection when the blood vessels in its eyes burst.
* RunOrDie: The only thing Spear and Fang can do against it is to run, due to how fast and powerful it is.
* SelfDisposingVillain: Pursuing Spear and Fang gave this creature horrendous luck as it kept putting itself in lethal harm the more it chased them. It had its neck stuck underneath a tree, slid down a hill and landed on its back and left itself unconscious after hitting its head near a wall. It got even worse when it was momentarily stuck in a crevice, where the beast was frantically struggling and squeezing to get out until it freed itself by tearing the flesh of its own body. Either this infected sauropod was '''that''' desperate to get them, or creatures infected with this plague tend to put themselves in life-threatening moments to catch victims.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Once it gets on Spear and Fang's trail, it refuses to give up until they're both dead, or it dies. An odd example, in that it's not technically a predator.
* TechnicallyLivingZombie: While the disease certainly gives it many of the physical and behavioral traits associated with zombies, it doesn't actually appear to be undead, although it does appear to enter a dormant state when there's nothing around to kill.
* TragicMonster: It was originally a peaceful sauropod until it was bitten by an infected hadrosaur, after which it slaughtered its entire herd.
* UndeathlyPallor: Though it's [[TechnicallyLivingZombie actually still alive]], its diseased and rotting condition changes its healthy blue-green complexion turn a sickly yellow-green.
* TheVirus: A victim of one, thanks to the Infected Hadrosaur.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: It was originally a normal ''Argentinosaurus'' until it got infected by the Hadrosaur. The dinosaur's noises after the infection took over were it basically screaming and roaring in agony as it kills anything that moves as the condition got worse and kept screaming until it literally couldn't anymore when it got burned by lava.
* TheWorfEffect: When was the last time you saw a ''goddamn Tyrannosaurus'' flee in actual, clear ''terror'' of something?
* ZombieInfectee: The plague essentially makes it a zombie dinosaur.

[[folder:The demon ('''Unmarked Spoilers''')]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_scorpion.png]]
A mysterious warlord from across the sea, who originally took Mira and her kin as slaves. At least, that's the way it seemed, turns out he does not know her people and is in fact much more powerful and terrifying than any human. When the Viking Chieftain starts dying after his battle with Fang and Spear, the entity transforms him into a demon to help the viking get his revenge.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: When it seemed Mira was drawing him, it was unclear whether he's just a large man [[HornyVikings wearing a horned helmet]] or some kind of demon or HornedHumanoid. Given the track record of the series so far, it could go either way. His appearance in Season 2 reveals that he is definitely ''not'' human, but his exact nature remains unexplained, save that he's unconnected to the vikings beyond a superficial similarity to his natural appearance, and apparently has an interest in the Chieftain for his antagonism with the Trio to satisfy his {{Revenge}}.
* BaitAndSwitch: Mira sketching his outline in the sand alongside her story of how she was MadeASlave and escaped hinted that he was the leader of the vikings, or at least involved in her people's enslavement in some manner. However, there is no hint of his presence of anything like him in the viking village, save the vague resemblance they possess to his natural appearance when wearing their helmets. His appearance before the Chieftain in a dream shows that man to be terrified and confused by him and his unexplained nature, showing that he's unaffiliated with the vikings at all, and later on is revealed to not even be known by Mira, with the horned figure in her drawings being simply the viking that murdered her friends and lover.
* BigBad: Ultimately {{subverted}}. The series seemingly builds up his threat with Mira's tale and the vikings' return in the second season, but ultimately he takes a backseat, never personally meet the heroes (though they do end up glimpsing his hand in the finale) and lets the Chieftain be his herald in the mortal world who threatens the heroes directly.
* TheBlank: When he finally makes an appearance, it's revealed that he has no facial features beyond a pair of glowing, fiery eyes.
* TheCorrupter: PlayedWith. He stokes the fires of vengeance in the Chieftain in "Vidarr" by showing him the carnage that befell his village in a dream and later offers him a chance to return from death with the temptation of going after Spear and Fang again, turning the man from caught off guard by the infernal realm he's in to angered enough to accept a DealWithTheDevil. But this is largely just throwing fuel on an already burning fire for the demon, who is mostly exploiting what's already there to keep the Chieftain focused on his revenge.
* TheDreaded: Once he appears he’s a figure of pure unadulterated dread.
* EvilIsBigger: He’s ‘‘enormous’’, as big or bigger than the ‘’Argentinosaurus''.
* EvilIsBurningHot: Not only does he reside in a FireAndBrimstoneHell, his eyes are ''literally'' burning hot.
* EvilOverlord: WordOfGod is that the demon is, whether the audience chooses to view him as literally Satan, the demi-god of Hell.
* FireAndBrimstoneHell: His realm consists of this.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Initially appeared to be the figure in Mira’s drawing and thus the larger antagonist of the series. His reveal as a demonic entity but one influencing the Chieftain keeps him in this spot.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: What exactly he's up to is ''really'' unclear. He takes an interest in the Chieftain's pursuit of the Trio for some reason and seems keen on stoking the flames of vengeance to keep it going. Once the Chieftain fatally burns Spear he immediately pulls him back rather than let him stay and kill Fang as well.
* HornsOfVillainy: Mira's drawings seemingly depict him as a giant of a man with horns on his head. While Season 2 confirms that he wasn't the figure she drew, it is nonetheless shown that even if he was the horns wouldn't be from a helmet -- [[HornedHumanoid they're part of his body]].
* KarmaHoudini: He suffers no repercussions for his actions and helping the Chieftain kill Spear, he even gets to drag the Chieftain back to his realm, presumably to eternally torture him for his amusement. The only relief is that he has no further interest in the heroes from that point forth.
* LoopholeAbuse: A possible interpretation as to why he drags The Chieftain back to hell. While he ultimately killed Spear, he didn't kill Fang, thus failing his deal.
* NoNameGiven: His name is never spoken in series. The reveal he is a demonic entity obviously changed this but the name remained.
* NotMeThisTime: Despite all the hints pointing to him being behind the slavers, it's revealed that he's a demonic entity who exists separately from them and never personally antagonizes anyone.
* OutsideContextProblem: Whatever the demon is, he and his followers have ships, bows and arrows, and metal tools. Fang and Spear have never seen any of those things.
** His first actual appearance reveals them to be this to the series itself. Magic isn't an unknown element in the story, but the Viking Chieftain's confused and terrified reaction to seeing a vision of the demon in his dreams implies that it's completely alien to him and his people's way of life, and furthermore, he has no idea why this enigmatic being has involved itself in his story.
** He also appears to be one to other supernatural or outright divine beings; when Valkyries descend to take the Chieftain to the Heavens, they are surprised when he is pulled from their grasp down into the demon's realm, implying they've never seen this kind of thing happen, at least not conventionally.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Their only identifiable facial feature are glowing red eyes.
* SatanicArchetype: They're a clearly malevolent, demonic, horned overlord who enslaves others into doing their bidding. Their first actual appearance has them appearing in a dream, stoking the chieftain's desire for {{Revenge}} upon Spear and Fang by granting him a vision of Rikka's death at Fang's jaws, a quest that ultimately costs the Chieftain his remaining son's life and leads to him hitting the DespairEventHorizon, apparently exactly as the being wanted.
** Part 1 of "The Colossaeus" takes this even further, strongly implying that he ''is'' Satan ([[CrystalDragonJesus or at least the setting's equivalent]]) or at least he's based on, [[MetaOrigin or could even be the basis of]], the many Satan/Devil-like characters of various cultures.
* TheUnfought: Never once fights or even confronts the heroes in any way, the closest they get is via proxy with their climatic final battle with the empowered Chieftain, his servant, and their brief glimpse of the demon's hand when he drags the Chieftain back to his realm, but that's as far as it gets.
* UnseenNoMore: He finally makes his full on-screen debut in "The Colossaeus, Part I", revealing himself to be a towering demonic entity either bathed in shadows or completely made up of it.

----

* AmazonianBeauty: Not as bulky or overtly muscular as others, but she does have an athletic and defined build, and can be just as much of a warrior as Spear.

A band of marauders, They are responsible for raiding multiple villages to enslave their people. Mira is among the slaves they own.

* HumanSubspecies: They don't seem to quite be ''homo sapiens''. They have facial features like modern humans, but Spear's Neanderthal bodily proportions and are about ''twice'' the size of everyone else.

** Part 1 of "The Colossaeus" takes this even further, strongly implying that he ''is'' Satan ([[CrystalDragonJesus or at least the setting's equivalent]]).
** Since he is involved with the Vikings, it’s even more likely he is in fact Surtr—the jötunn overlord of Muspelheim who is fated to destroy the world in the Ragnarok. Although given that he merely trades with the vikings as Mira explained and the Chieftain's surprise at seeing him, it's still possible he's not any sort of Nordic deity. Furthermore, the Valkyries themselves are surprised at him taking the Chieftain away from them, implying he's an outside presence to even them. At most, he's likely based on, [[MetaOrigin or could even be the basis of]], the many Satan/Devil-like characters of various cultures.

* NoNameGiven: His name is never spoken in series. The demon comes from the assumption that he was the one behind Mira’s enslavement. The reveal he is a demonic entity obviously changed this but the name remained. Many theorise he is either Satan, Surtur or Vidarr himself.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: [[spoiler:The large horned figure she drew alongside the scorpion insignia is revealed to have not been referring to a large horned being called the Scorpion but rather a Viking wearing a horned helmet and carrying a scorpion insignia, who was responsible for slaying her lover. It just so happens that there's an actual powerful demonic entity that greatly resembles her drawing.]]

A band of marauders, seemingly, affiliated with an entity only referred to as "The Scorpion". They are responsible for raiding multiple villages to enslave their people. Mira is among the slaves they own.

* RedHerring: [[spoiler:The Chieftain's reaction to the Scorpion reveals that the Vikings don't even know about his existence as was initially implied. Their scorpion insignia isn't even in reference to the entity. It's just that Mira happened to depict the Viking that slew her lover as a large featureless horned entity, which just so happens to exist.]]

The leader of the marauders who enslaved Mira and many others under The Scorpion. He and his eldest son, named [[ADogNamedDog Eldar]], arrived back to their home only to discover that everyone, including his wife and his youngest son, were brutally slaughtered by Spear and Fang. He becomes obsessed with revenge and vows to kill all who were responsible.

* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler: After the Chieftain dies, the Scorpion yanks him from the afterlife and implicitly promises to give him the power he needs to finally kill Spear and Fang. The cost is being ReforgedIntoAMinion.]]
* DemonOfHumanOrigin: [[spoiler: After pledging his loyalty to the Scorpion, the entity transforms the Chieftain into an infernal being similar to itself.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: The Chieftain is on the verge of this after he finds his village and kin slaughtered, with it being made clear that [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Eldar's presence]] is the only thing helping him keep it together. When his son [[DisneyVillainDeath dies violently]] before his eyes the Chieftain just gives up entirely and allows the river currents to sweep him away and underneath in an attempt to [[TogetherInDeath join his people in death]]. He recovers and gets much worse when the Scorpion yanks him into his realm.]]

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: [[spoiler: The Chieftain is introduced as a badass Viking warrior. Then he pledges loyalty to the Scorpion to get a second shot at revenge against Spear and Fang and is turned into a HumanoidAbomination capable of forming destructive weapons out of magma.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Slavers though they might be, they were a legitimately close family, and the deaths of Rikka and the youngest son completely devastate them and put them on the warpath against Spear and Fang. [[spoiler:After Eldar is killed, the Chieftain loses the will to live and lets himself drown in a river so that he can rejoin his family. And when the Scorpion yanks him from a trip to Valhalla and gives him the chance to take revenge on his family's killers, he jumps at the chance to avenge what he's lost.]]

* EvilIsBigger: Not only is he taller than Spear, [[spoiler:once he becomes the Scorpion's minion he's even taller than Fang and possibly Kamau]].

* MagmaMan: [[spoiler:The Chieftain is turned into nearly featureless giant that is constantly on fire and can manifest weapons out of magma after he pledges loyalty to the Scorpion. For further emphasis, he emerges back into the world of the living in a manner not too dissimilar to a miniature volcanic eruption.]]

* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:After the Chieftain pledges his loyalty to the Scorpion upon being dragged away from the Valkyries, the demonic entity literally burns away his humanity, leaving him nothing more than a large, nearly-featureless HumanoidAbomination that's constantly on fire, capable of creating weapons made of magma (according to a promo), and completely dedicated to wreaking vengeance against Spear and Fang.]]

The Chieftain's eldest son who helped his father and the other Vikings enslave Mira and many other tribes under The Scorpion. Later, when Eldar and his father arrived back to their home they only discover that everyone, including their family, were brutally slaughtered by Spear and Fang.

* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:They are the only villains who make a return, and they are killed by the followers of the Scorpion.]]

* FrazettaMan: They manage to simultaneously [[InvertedTrope Invert]] this trope while still playing it straight. They look like anthropomorphic apes, have a violent, crude culture, and seem to enjoy hurting others. They kidnap both Fang and Spear for unknown purposes, either as food or entertainment (or both). The inversion comes in when you consider that having a culture and organized society ''at all'' [[NormalFishInATinyPond actually makes them the]] ''[[NormalFishInATinyPond most]]'' [[NormalFishInATinyPond advanced group around.]] [[spoiler:Until the Scorpion comes along.]]

* KnightOfCerebus: Antagonists in the show had previously just been out looking for food or, in the case of the mammoths, out to avenge a member of their herd. These apes kidnap creatures, hold a brutal contest where their larger warriors murder each other, just for the right to [[spoiler:drink a black potion and murder their captives]]. In a series that mostly operates on GreyAndGreyMorality, these apes have proven the closest thing to characters who can be considered evil. [[spoiler:At least until the Scorpion makes his presence known.]]

[[folder:The Scorpion ('''Unmarked Spoilers''')]]

* TheCorrupter: PlayedWith. He stokes the fires of vengeance in the Chieftain in "Vidarr" by showing him the carnage that befell his village in a dream and later offers him a chance to return from death with the temptation of going after Spear and Fang again, turning the man from caught off guard by the infernal realm he's in to angered enough to accept a DealWithTheDevil. But this is largely just throwing fuel on an already burning fire for the Scorpion, who is mostly exploiting what's already there to keep the Chieftain focused on his revenge.

* EvilOverlord: WordOfGod is that the Scorpion is, whether the audience chooses to view him as literally Satan, the demi-god of Hell.

* NoNameGiven: His name is never spoken in series. The Scorpion comes from the assumption that he was the one behind Mira’s enslavement. The reveal he is a demonic entity obviously changed this but the name remained. Many theorise he is either Satan, Surtur or Vidarr himself.

* OutsideContextProblem: Whatever the Scorpion is, he and his followers have ships, bows and arrows, and metal tools. Fang and Spear have never seen any of those things.
** His first actual appearance reveals them to be this to the series itself. Magic isn't an unknown element in the story, but the Viking Chieftain's confused and terrified reaction to seeing a vision of the Scorpion in his dreams implies that it's completely alien to him and his people's way of life, and furthermore, he has no idea why this enigmatic being has involved itself in his story.
** He also appears to be one to other supernatural or outright divine beings; when Valkyries descend to take the Chieftain to the Heavens, they are surprised when he is pulled from their grasp down into the Scorpion's realm, implying they've never seen this kind of thing happen, at least not conventionally.

* TurtlePower: Not only does it prove to be extremely hard catch, it even tries to devour Spear. It takes quite a lot of cooperation from the protagonists to finally bring it down.

* AmbiguousSituation: It's unknown if he's a member of a different subspecies of ''T. rex'' than Fang or if his red and grey coloration is the result of sexual dimorphism. [[spoiler:"The Colossaeus, Part II" all but confirms they were two distinct subspecies as their young have a patchwork of his and Fang's colors unlike her previous brood.]]

** Her jaws are powerful enough to rip off another ''T. rex's'' snout. ''Tyrannosaurus'' really did have a bite that strong.

* OneWordVocabulary: Thus far, Mira's name is the only word he knows, uttering it in the last moment of Season 1 and continuing to speak it now and then throughout Season 2. As humans in this universe seem to primarily rely on non-verbal communication, this hasn't posed much of a problem to him.

Posthumous Sibling: They were born well after the deaths of their half siblings.

* {{Expy}}: Of Cujo. Both start out as a GentleGiant before being infected by a madness-inducing virus, and end up being a menace because of their great size. Both also take a lot of damage before dying.

* {{Expy}}: Of [["Literature/Cujo" Cujo]]. Both start out as GentleGiants before being infected by a madness-inducing virus, and end up being a menace because of their great size. Both also take a lot of damage before dying.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[''Literature/Cujo'' Cujo]]. Both start out as GentleGiants before being infected by a madness-inducing virus, and end up being a menace because of their great size. Both also take a lot of damage before dying.

* MadeOfIron: Fang can take a serious beating and come back from it relatively uninjured. She's been crushed between two mammoths and body-slammed by a giant spider without serious injury. Her one-sided beating from the enhanced Krog left her near death, but she was back to fighting form in a period of days. Normal human weapons are indivudally almost useless against her, with her being able to take everything from a rain of arrows or an axe to the thigh without noticeable weakness. While they can seriously weaken her through blood loss, the sheer amount of hirs she has to take to be serious is ridiculous and means she'll have slaughtered her attackers long before she has to worry. [[spoiler: She even endures being set on fire by the resurrected Chieftain's fire attack!]]

* MadeOfIron: Fang can take a serious beating and come back from it relatively uninjured. She's been crushed between two mammoths and body-slammed by a giant spider without serious injury. Her one-sided beating from the enhanced Krog left her near death, but she was back to fighting form in a period of days. During the Viking village battle, the natives throw everything at her from spears to axes to bears to a rain of arrows. Even injuries that drop her don't have any lasting effect on her combat ability. [[spoiler: She even endures being set on fire by the resurrected Chieftain's fire attack!]]
