!!Tropes associated with Khamai, Kask, and Sauro:

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/driller_5567.png
-->''Voiced by: TroyBaker''

The Driller is a giant automaton tasked by Mumm-Ra to work in the Thundrilium mines. He is able to transform into a double ended drill and can bore through almost any surface.
----
!!Tropes associated with The Driller:
* AdaptationalBadass: He is much more menacing and threatening than the relatively simplistic version from the original.
* LoadBearingBoss: After [[spoiler: Lion-O defeats him in "Old Friends", the mine around the Thundercats begins to collapse from the damage he'd caused.]]
* MechanicalMonster
* ThisIsADrill: Yes he is.
* TransformingMecha: He even looks like a [[{{Transformers}} Decepticon]]. His transformation isn't exactly complex though.
* UseYourHead: at the climax of the fight, he uses the drill on his head to try and kill Lion-O. Never mind that he had two perfectly-large drills on his ARMS to engage in the clash with...

!Captain Koinelius Tunar
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/504px-CorneliusTuna2011bio_3851.png
-->''Voiced by: RobinAtkinDownes''

Captain Koinelius Tunar is the commanding officer of a sand ship manned by {{Fishmen}}. He holds an intense grudge against a creature called the Ramlak, which took one of his legs and ruined his people's homeland.
----
!!Tropes associated with The Captain:
* AnimalNemesis: {{Inverted}}. Tunar, a [[{{Fishmen}} Fishman]], has sworn vengeance on The Ramlak, a giant ''{{Planimal}}'', a ManEatingPlant[=/=]GiantSquid HybridMonster. It destroyed his home and took his [[AnArmAndALeg eye and leg]].
* AntiHero: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]], as it becomes apparent that his quest to kill the Ramlak has become all-consuming.
* AnArmAndALeg: Type 3. Tunar lost his leg (and an eye) to the Ramlak, and now uses a peg-leg.
* TheCaptain: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. His fixation on the Ramlak has steadily eroded the relationship between himself and his crew.
* CastingGag: RobinAtkinDownes voiced another captain: Captain Romulus Slag from ''RatchetAndClank''.
* {{Determinator}}: And NOT in a good way, as he relentlessly persues the Ramlak:
-->'''Tunar''': "I'll follow ya straight to the flamin' pits of Magmel before I give you up!"
* HeWhoFightsMonsters
* IHaveComeTooFar
* {{Homage}}: To Ahab of MobyDick. He even quotes him at the end when [[spoiler: the Ramlak pulled him in after getting harpooned, in the same exact way Ahab died.]] He may also be a ''very'' loose adaptation of Captain Hammerhand, from the original series.
* LackOfEmpathy: Illustrated towards his long-suffering crew, who he frequently dismisses as weak.
* PunnyName
* RevengeBeforeReason
* ShadowArchetype: To Lion-O. Like Lion-O, he too lost his home to a horrible monster, one that he wishes to destroy at all costs. Seeing where that mindset eventually leads convinces Lion-O to move past his own inclinations of RevengeBeforeReason towards Mumm-Ra.
* WeirdBeard: Koi whiskers as facial hair.

!Emrick the Petalar
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emrik-300x231_1031.jpg
-->''Voiced by: AtticusShaffer, PatrickCavanaugh, and JamesArnoldTaylor''

Emrick is a member of the Petalars, a small race of PlantAliens who've been separated from their homeland for generations. [[spoiler:[[WeAreAsMayflies They live for about a day!]]]] Despite this trait, he's a highly optimistic Petalar who possess an upbeat and adventurous attitude.
----
!!Tropes associated with Emrick:
* BadassAdorable: Capable of going toe-to-toe with opponents many times his size. Not that 'many times his size' is particularly ''big'', but it's still impressive.
* BadassMustache: In adulthood, he gets a dashing ErrolFlynn 'stache.
* CheerfulChild: An enthusiastic young {{Pollyanna}}, quite convinced that, despite being trapped in the [[TheLostWoods Briar Woods]] for generations, Lion-O and his Thundercats will help them find a way back home.
* ConstantlyCurious: He's full of questions for the Thundercats. Lion-O says he reminds him of himself at that age, implying that he was one as well.
* [[spoiler:FinalSpeech: Assures Lion-O that ItsTheJourneyThatCounts]]
* HeroesPreferSwords: Makes one out of a twig to better model himself after Lion-O
* HotBlooded: His one constant trait, mirroring Lion-O.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: An interesting variation. Lion-O is the elder, with Emrick as his much younger friend, [[spoiler:but thanks to the Petalars one-day lifespans, Lion-O sees Emrick become the elder]].
* MotorMouth: During his youth. Luckily his mouth's small enough to be stopped with a little finger.
* PlantPerson: All of the Petalars.
* [[spoiler:{{Retirony}}: Dies before he can ascend the Cliff of Winds, (an uncoiled fern) and ride an updraft to his ancestral home.]]
* TagAlongKid: He's like the little kid brother Lion-O never had. [[spoiler:[[RapidAging For about ten minutes, anyway]]]].

Three elite lizard commandos who tracked Lion-O and his group into the brambles. They answer directly to General Slithe.
----
!!Tropes associated with Khamai, Kask, and Sauro:
* BareFistedMonk: Kask has a shield, but seems to prefer using martial arts to take down his prey.
* InvisibilityCloak: Being based on a chameleon, Khamai can turn invisible much like Tygra can.
* TheNoseKnows: Sauro is able to catch the scent of the Cats' trail

!Leo
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thunleo_7006.png
-->''Voiced by: WillFriedle (episode 7) and JasonMarsden (episode 21)''

Leo is Lion-O's ancestor, [[spoiler:Commander Mumm-Ra]]'s [[NumberTwo second-in-command]] and leader of the Animal rebellion.
----
!!Tropes associated with Leo:
* AdaptiveArmor: [[spoiler:Using Power Crystals as Amplifier Artifacts, his Claw Gauntlet can transform into a set of custom gold Lion armor.]]
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Like his descendants, his mane and eyes perfectly echo the hues of his weapon, but he lacks the justification of it being an [[AncestralWeapon ancestral birthright]].
* BadassLongHair: Quite an impressive mane.
* CommandingCoolness: Like his immediate superior, also holds the rank of Commander (likely lieutenant commander)
* CoolSword
* {{Expy}}: Of Lion-O himself. Or inverted if you like. Technically, [[YouWillBeBeethoven Leo was first.]]
* HeroesPreferSwords
* InAnotherMansShoes[=/=]YouWillBeBeethoven: What we see of Leo's behavior is actually Lion-O performing a compulsory VisionQuest while being made to re-enact Leo's historical actions.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by his girlfriend Panthera
-->'''Panthera''' (during a riot): Are you gonna stand there and look pretty or are you gonna fight?
* NobleTopEnforcer[=/=]ReverseMole: Inferentially, Leo's been a member of LaResistance for quite awhile, even while serving as TheDragon.
* NotWhatISignedOnFor: For a while, he genuinely believed that [[spoiler: Mumm-Ra]] could bring order to the universe. When [[spoiler: Mumm-Ra demonstrates that he's willing to ''murder an entire star system to forge a super-weapon,'' ]] he swiftly decides to form LaResistance in secret.
* OccultBlueEyes: Blue-green eyes, like his descendants
* OneHeadTaller: Leo is a head ''shorter'' than his girlfriend Panthera. In fact, Leo seemed shorter than ''everyone'' in [[spoiler:Commander Mumm-Ra]]'s service.
* RebelLeader
* RedHeadedHero
* RetractableWeapon
* RoyalBlood

!Captain Tygus
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tygus_7372.png
-->''Voiced by: CoreyBurton''

Captain Tygus is [[spoiler:Commander Mumm-Ra]]'s leader in the field, who's operations obtained the War Stone. [[spoiler:Like other Tigers, he fought against Leo's Mutiny against Mumm-Ra. His clan was banished for this reason.]]
----
!!Tropes associated with Captain Tygus:
* TheCaptain: The hands-on, field-leader type, who conducts a one-man assault on a heavily guarded tower powered by a MacGuffin he's {{Plunder}}ing for his Commander.
* {{Expy}}: Of Tygra. Lion-O/Leo even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the man's doubt in his plan:
-->'''Lion-O/Leo''': "A tiger underestimating me. I'm not surprised."
* EyepatchOfPower: Wears a Scouter
* [[spoiler:SpaceMarine]]: Highly efficient against the hostiles that would stand in the way of his obtaining the Warstone.
* UnwittingPawn: In a MacGuffinDeliveryService.

!Panthera
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thunpanthera_6790.png
-->''Voiced by: CreeSummer''

Leo's beloved and coordinator of the rebellion.
----
!!Tropes associated with Panthera:
* BigDamnKiss: Shares one with Leo [[spoiler: as Mumm-Ra's spaceship/pyramid goes plummeting towards Third Earth.]]
* HotAmazon
* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: Cree, of course, voiced Max on ''BatmanBeyond'', so has played the faithful partner to a WillFriedle character before.
* MoralityPet: In "Birth of Blades" she was the one who openly questioned [[spoiler:Mumm-Ra]]'s brutal orders and caused the initially blindly loyal Leo to start questioning them as well.
* OneHeadTaller: Inverted. Leo only comes up to her shoulders if you count his hair.
* ReverseMole
* ReplacementLoveInterest: Following Leo's story, she functions parallel to Cheetara as a lion's [[UndyingLoyalty undyingly loyal]] confidant, counselor, and LoveInterest.
** In "Birth of the Blades," we see more to this relationship. Her initial doubt that Leo can make up for his mistake [[spoiler: in believing in Mumm-Ra, leading to the destruction of a star system]], not to mention [[WhatTheHellHero calling him out on it]], is rather reminiscent of [[spoiler: Pumyra's initial doubt in Lion-O.]] As is the way she softens after Leo proves that he's thought this through, and is willing to follow through to the bitter end.
* StatuesqueStunner: Panthera towers over Leo and he ''definitely'' isn't complaining.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TinyGuyHugeGirl
* UndyingLoyalty: Her faith in Leo is absolute, even when Leo is unsure of the outcome himself.

!Shen
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/225px_shen_2111.png
-->''Voiced by: RobPaulsen''

Leader of the Jackals who joined Leo in his rebellion against Mumm-Ra.
----
!!Tropes assocaiated with Shen:
* EyesOfGold
* HeroicDog
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Willing to work with the Cats to escape.

!Rezard
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Rezard2_225px_5848.png
-->''Voiced by: RobPaulsen''

Leader of the Lizards who joined Leo in his rebellion against Mumm-Ra.
----
!!Tropes associated with Rezard:
* {{Expy}}: Of ''Slithe,'' of all people.
* LizardFolk
* MeaningfulName: Rezard? Just swap out "Re" with "Li," and you get "Lizard."
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Also willing to work with the Cats, though he expresses more doubts than Shen about this.

!The Drifter[[spoiler:/Hattanzo the Swordmaker]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thedrifter_8989.png
-->''Voiced by: StephenRoot''

A mysterious, eccentric rabbit man who offers Lion-O some much needed advice in the Swordsmans' Town.
----
!!Tropes associated with The Drifter
* AloofAlly: "...if you expect me to help, ''[[ImplausibleDeniability you haven't been paying attention]].''"
* AmericanAccents: A light [[SouthernGentleman southern]] drawl. (His voice artist is a character actor who frequently plays southern archetypes.)
* [[spoiler:AndThatLittleGirlWasMe]]: The Drifter tells a NamelessNarrative of how the Duelist acquired his favorite trophy blade, implying that Lion-O will repeat the mistakes of its previous wielder.
* BadassAdorable: Comes with being a rabbit.
* BadassLongHair[=/=]MessyHair[=/=]WildHair: His dark brown hair is long, unkempt and full of bits of straw.
* BadassPacifist: "A weakness can be turned into a strength."
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Though he inhabits a world full of them, the Drifter specifically DoesNotLikeShoes. [[spoiler:In youth, he was TheOneWhoWearsShoes, but abandoned the trait after his loss to the Duelist triggered a deep depression.]]
* BeneathTheMask: His mildly amused, smiling, BrilliantButLazy exterior hides a despondent man [[spoiler:who still grieves the loss of his masterwork to the Duelist.]]
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: White iris-pupil on black sclera. Very [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]]. He's merely eccentric.
* BrandishmentBluff: [[spoiler:Using the willow reed he keeps [[OralFixationFixation in his mouth]], The Drifter parries the Duelist's attempt to stab Lion-O InTheBack, then continues to mock-attack, relying on the Duelist's startlement and reflexive movements to trip him up. The Duelist lands on his rear and the Drifter mockingly sticks the reed up his nose.]]
* BrilliantButLazy: Until Lion-O piques his interest.
* BulletTime[=/=]SuperReflexes: As "[[NotQuiteFlight a drifter]]," he induces this ''at will,'' to the point where he appears able to {{Overcrank}} himself.
* ConfusionFu: Disorients opponents with NotQuiteFlight, NonchalantDodge, and {{Brandishment Bluff}}s
* [[spoiler:CoolSword: The Sword of Hattanzo, which he made himself.]]
* DanceBattler: And he doesn't even need to throw a punch. At one point, he performs a pirouette in ''midair''.
* [[spoiler:DespairEventHorizon: When he lost his best sword to The Duelist.]]
* DissonantSerenity: Swinging a sword at his head won't faze him enough to [[EyesAlwaysShut open his eyes]], or wipe the [[PerpetualSmiler smile]] off his face.
* DistressedDude: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Tends to [[UnwillingSuspension snag himself]] on fences and need Lion-O's help getting down, which begs the question as to why he always [[DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel manages to appear]] where Lion-O is, just when the boy could use some advice...
* TheDitherer: ''Constantly'' qualifies his statements. You should take his advice...or don't...he doesn't care.
* DramaticWind: Accompanies him, ruffling only ''his'' hair and clothes in a given scene, to give an impression of his lightness. In a nod to his EmpathicEnvironment, he frequently uses wind metaphor in his speech.
* TheDrifter: Actually [[InvertedTrope Inverted.]] He poses as someone who quite ''[[LiteralMetaphor literally]]'' blows into town, and claims to go "wherever the wind takes him" but that translates to floating around the fringes of the Swordsmans' Town, waiting for someone like himself to come along so he can deliver an AdventureRebuff. By the time he's done with Lion-O, he's come to fully embody his archetype, [[RidingIntoTheSunset walking into the sunset]].
* EarsAsHair: A rabbit, his ears are as straw-filled, floppy and lank as his hair [[spoiler:In youth, they were [[ExpressiveEars expressive]] and sat high on his head, beginning to droop in defeat.]]
* EccentricMentor: "Take my advice and blow on out of here, or don't. I don't care."
* EnlightenmentSuperpowers[=/=]PowerBornOfMadness[=/=]TookALevelInBadass: Not that he ''cares,'' but the Drifter has essentially perfected his NotQuiteFlight and NonchalantDodge [[spoiler:through suffering an ongoing ''major depressive episode''. The languid movements that came with his feelings of despair and apathy after his defeat by the Duelist allowed him to become aware of all his flaws as a young combatant.]]
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: The Drifter's hair is long and ungroomed, but [[spoiler:as a young man, he wears his hair in a neat, shorter ponytail.]]
* EyesAlwaysShut: Often. Seems to only open his eyes when making particularly trenchant points or being very emotionally engaged.
* FatalFlaw: [[spoiler:His {{Hubris}} regarding his swordsmithing skill, assuming he made a sword so magnificent that it could surely beat even a master swordsman, regardless of the skill of its wielder.]]
* [[spoiler: TheGunfighterWannabe[=/=]KidSamurai]]: Became a ScrapHeapHero out of his failure.
* [[spoiler: HeroesPreferSwords]]
* HiddenDepths: Guess why his entry has so many spoilers.
* {{Homage}}: [[spoiler: To HattoriHanzo, particularly ''Film/KillBill'''s swordsmith. As to the fact that he's a [[UsagiYojimbo rabbit]], well...]]
* KarmicTrickster: Towards the Duelist.
* {{Koan}}: "Willows are weak, but they bind other wood."
* LeaningOnTheFurniture[=/=]RebelRelaxation: Slouches, slumps or sprawls whenever there's a structure in his immediate vicinity.
* LimitedWardrobe: In his case, [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]]. He's been wearing the same set of clothes for a long time, and it actually shows in their tattered, patched condition. [[spoiler:He's been wearing them ever since his defeat at the hands of the Duelist]].
* MeaningfulName: He literally drifts on windcurrents as easily as a leaf. [[spoiler:His real name, Hattanzo, is a contraction of HattoriHanzo.]]
* MeekTownsman: "This is a Swordsmans' town, stranger, and they duel for keeps. ''[[AdventureRebuff Leave]]'', before it's too late. Or don't, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I don't care]]."
* NonchalantDodge: A ''master.''
* NotQuiteFlight: A marvelously absurd power to float on currents of wind, the catch being that he does seem to [[UnwillingSuspension snag himself]] on tall fences rather frequently.
* OralFixationFixation: Constantly chews a willow reed.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: He's much shorter than Lion-O and The Duelist [[spoiler:and he proceeds to kick the latter's ass when he tries to stab the former in the back]].
* RascallyRabbit: Overlaps with TricksterMentor.
* RetiredBadass: [[spoiler:Was once "the greatest swordmaker of all time," but hasn't made a sword since his defeat by the Duelist.]]

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: "I don't care," and many variations thereof, a de facto CatchPhrase. Over time, the ImplausibleDeniability of the statement steadily increases to the point where it becomes obvious it's a [[BlatantLies lie.]]
* TheTropeWithoutATitle: He says he's "just a drifter, I suppose".
* TricksterMentor: He's so good at it that Lion-O didn't even get what he was trying to teach him until he's practically already lost the duel. [[spoiler:He even gave Lion-O a sword that he knew would break, just to drive the point home.]]

* WarriorTherapist: Provides a very pointed critique of Lion-O's impatience and poor technical skill.
* WeakButSkilled: [[spoiler:Apparently if you're badass enough, you ''CAN'' disarm someone wielding a knife with just [[ImprobableWeaponUser a willow reed.]] In youth, he was its inverse, UnskilledButStrong.]]
* {{Wuxia}}[=/=]{{Wutai}}: His personal genre. Despite not being a trained warrior, he borrows from the {{Ronin}} concept, and blows WireFu away.
* ZenSurvivor
