History Characters / Primal2019

* FrazettaMan: Whereas Spear looks like a Neanderthal human, his father is visibly less evolved and practically resembles a gorilla from the neck up. Among other primitive features, he has pointy, ape-like canine teeth, which even ''Australopithecus'' lacked.

* BizarreSexualDimorphism: The GrandFinale implies that Fang is the female counterpart of the Horned Tyrannosaur specis, as her male infant develops similar horns as them, horns that his father lacked.

* 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.

* 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.

* PyrrhicVillainy: [[spoiler:Despite being partially successful in avenging his family by mortally wounding Spear, he gets dragged to hell by The Scorpion immediately afterward, presumably to be tortured for the rest of eternity.]]

* HeterosexualLifePartners: 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.

* KillItThroughItsStomach: [[spoiler: As if getting stabbed by a tree branch in the sternum wasn't brutal enough, Darlington swoops down and slices into the flesh of his waist so hard that his entrails start to leak out of it. It's a little downplayed since it doesn't outright kill him, but it does leave him susceptible to getting his head impaled.]]

* 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, redeemed her from such a fate and reunited with her daughter in the afterlife.

* 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.

* 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 by 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.]]

* 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 unconcious or if he had his neck broken from the force of the blow]].

* FrazettaMan: Whereas Spear looks like a Neanderthal human, his father is visibly less evolved and practically resembles a gorilla from the neck up.

* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: She makes her only appearance at the end of the GrandFinale.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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 apparently being from across the ocean]].

** A couple of them were seen biting down on Spear's father without securing him with their paws first. In real life, this would cause their fragile sabers to be broken off.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Probably the ''first'' non-edutainment cartoon to feature ''Argentinosaurus''.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: When was the last time you saw ''Anzu'' in a cartoon?

* SeldomSeenSpecies: ''Deinosuchus'' is a [[StockDinosaurs Stock Prehistoric Reptile]] in educational works, but rare in media otherwise.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: The largest one is about the right size for ''Titanoboa'', a giant constrictor snake from the Eocene.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: While ''Tropeognathus'' has achieved some recognition in recent years (largely on account of its central role in an episode of ''Series/WalkingWithDinosaurs''), it's still nowhere near as well-known or ubiquitous as the likes of ''Pteranodon'' or ''Quetzalcoatlus''.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: One of the ''first'' times a protoceratid is represented in a cartoon.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: They do resemble ''Necromantis'', a relatively large-sized predatory bat from the Eocene, even having its characteristic strong jaw muscles and short snout. However, while the real ''Necromantis'' was likely comparable in size to modern carnivorous bats, these guys are the size of a small aircraft.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Whilst simply referred to as "wild dogs", they resemble borophagines.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Less so than other prehistoric creatures seen on the show, but ''Arsinoitherium'' is still not particularly well-known.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: How many have heard of this small Mesozoic mammal outside of documentaries?

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Long-horned bison are obscure in popular media.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Based on their sheer size, as well as the geographical setting of the episode they appear in, they are likely ''Palaeoloxodon namadicus'' rather than any modern elephant species.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: May possibly be ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potanichthys Potanichthys]]'', a type of Triassic flying fish.
