!Mumm-Ra
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thuncats_mumra_174x252_b_1759.png
-->''Voiced by: RobinAtkinDownes''
Mumm-Ra was the ancient foe of Thundercats, long ago defeated. Resurfacing, Mumm-Ra masterminded Thundera's downfall to obtain the Eye of Thundera, the jewel within the Sword of Omens' hilt.
----
!!Tropes associated with Mumm-Ra:
* AdaptationalBadass: The original's sedentary {{Mummy}} playing OrcusOnHisThrone is not in evidence here. SquishyWizard he may be, but Mumm-Ra makes his debut with an impressive act of regicide, followed up with the [[OneHitKill slaughter]] of Claudus' PraetorianGuard, all without breaking a sweat ''or'' breaking out the OneWingedAngel.
* AdaptiveArmor: [[spoiler:Using [[PowerCrystal Power Crystals]] as [[AmplifierArtifact Amplifier Artifacts]], his Gauntlet can transform into a set of custom skeletal armor.]]
* AgonyBeam: In his OneWingedAngel form, he employs this on Lion-O with intent to kill.
* {{Archenemy}}: To the Thundercats.
* [[spoiler:BatOutOfHell]][=/=]WingedHumanoid: In his OneWingedAngel form
* BigBad
* BreathWeapon: In his OneWingedAngel form, Mumm-Ra can breathe hot pink PureEnergy blasts.
* BrokenPedestal: Mumm-Ra became this for [[spoiler:his tactician Leo]] in the backstory when he [[spoiler:destroyed a solar system populated by billions to forge the Sword of Plundaar.]] This was what convinced [[spoiler:Leo that Mumm-Ra had to stopped.]]
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull[=/=]TransformationNameAnnouncement: (Villain variant) "Ancient Spirits of Evil, transform this decayed form into Mumm-Ra, the THE EVERRRR-LIIIVIIIIING!!!" triggers Mumm-Ra's TransformationSequence into his secondary OneWingedAngel form.
* CardCarryingVillain: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in a very literal sense, as Mumm-Ra must call upon "Ancient Spirits of Evil" to grant him access to his OneWingedAngel Form.
* [[spoiler:CommandingCoolness: Pre-{{Gotterdammerung}}, Mumm-Ra was the Commander of a SpaceNavy that took the Eye of Thundera as {{Plunder}}, and counted ''Thundercats'' among his underlings.]]
* [[spoiler:CoolSword[=/=]DoubleWeapon: His Sword of Plun-Darr]]
* DarkIsEvil: Though Mumm-Ra himself is colored grey, his [[TankGoodness tank]] and any weaponry or armor he uses are black, and chased with TronLines.
* TheDreaded: Even as an artifact of history, his reputation precedes him. His first spoken line, wherein he [[BadassBoast refers to himself]] completely without irony as being "[a thing] of your worst nightmares," suggests he is perfectly happy to [[ExploitedTrope exploit]] this.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When describing Addicus and Kanar to Slithe, he says the two have committed crimes even he wouldn't do.
** [[SubvertedTrope Of course, he then sends Slithe to hire them, anyway... ]]
** Not to mention when you're willing to [[spoiler: wipe out ''billions of lives'' just to create an InfinityPlusOneSword]], you've pretty much crossed the MoralEventHorizon.
* EvilBrit: On an alien planet, no less.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler: Thinks nothing of Leo and Panthera's shock that he would wipe out billions of lives in a galaxy just to create a sword.]] He mocks Lion-O for trying to save Pumyra rather than try to escape with the Sword of Plun-Darr:
-->'''Mumm-Ra:''' "Generations pass, and your species is still weakened by emotion!"
* EvilIsHammy: ''THEEE EVERRRR-LIIIIIIIIIVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!''
* EvilOldFolks: Not only is he Really700YearsOld, he looks it.
* FangsAreEvil
* HumanoidAbomination: Peculiarly, Mumm-Ra resembles nothing so much as an inexplicably red-eyed, fanged, snub-nosed, grey [[HumansAreCthulhu human]] in {{Mummy}} wrappings. [[spoiler:However, his OneWingedAngel form explains the snub nose and makes his species explicit: He's a leaf-nosed (Vampire) [[BatOutOfHell bat]].]]
** The artists get bonus points for just having his Mummy form move in a subtly WRONG way.
* InTheHood: Mumm-Ra always wears a long, trailing, tattered red cloak with the hood concealing much of his face.
* KamehameHadoken: Quite capably kills most of the Clerics in [[OneHitKill a single blow]].
* LargeAndInCharge: In his OneWingedAngel form, he ''towers'' over the Cats.
* LivingRelic[=/=]TimeAbyss: Mumm-Ra has been around for a ''very'' long time. [[spoiler:He predates the colonization of Third Earth.]]
* TheMagnificent: The '''EVER-LIVING!'''
* TheManBehindTheCurtain: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] TheDreaded ancient enemy of the Thundercats is a small, stooped, old, emaciated...red-eyed EvilSorcerer and ''HumanoidAbomination.'' His physical frailty only serves to make him more disturbing.
** And then he transforms and the Thundercats get their butts handed to them.
* MasterOfIllusion[=/=]MasterOfDisguise: We first see him use it to [[spoiler: disguise himself as Panthro.]]
* MeaningfulName[=/=]MultiethnicName[=/=]PunnyName: Derived from the English word "mummy," and ''Ra'' the ancient Egyptian ''sun'' god.
* MindRape: The interrogation variety is one of Mumm-Ra's specialties, [[spoiler: Though Jaga screams, he doesn't yield the information Mumm-Ra seeks.]].
* MiniatureSeniorCitizen[=/=]MisterBig: In his ShapeshifterDefaultForm, Mumm-Ra is quite short and stooped, but no less intimidating.
* MobileMenace: Gets around in a [[TankGoodness tank]], the Storm Charger, when it suits him.
* {{Mummy}}: With all the standard trappings, and some decidedly nonstandard, like a techno-pyramid.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Mumm-Ra is a *deep breath* {{mummy}}[=/=]{{lich}} [[spoiler:vampire bat ''alien from space''.]] Who lives in a pyramid [[spoiler:''spaceship'']] and rides around in a tank [[spoiler:that's a coffin]]. Amazing, no?
* NonHumanUndead[=/=]OurLichesAreDifferent: His concept also borrows heavily from Lich iconography. Most don't have awesome tanks, though.
* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:He destroyed an entire galaxy, with three planets populated by billions of people, to create the material that would become the Sword of Plun-Darr and its gauntlet.]]
* OneWingedAngel: Appropriately enough, [[WingedHumanoid has wings]].
* OutsideContextVillain: Became this over the centuries as memory of him faded away into legend and superstition.
* [[spoiler:RavensAndCrows]]: Mumm-Ra's desperation form, which he uses to flee after coming too close to defeat at the hands of the Thundercats, and for stealth purposes.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Played absolutely straight, even [[LiteralMetaphor literally]], as his first appearance ''is'' his eyes, seen in a [[{{seers}} vision]] sent by the Sword of Omens.
* SadisticChoice: When he fights Lion-O in the Mountain of Plun-Darr to retrieve the sword of the same name, he threatens Pumyra by throwing her into a chasm, forcing Lion-O to choose: Grab the Sword of Plun-Darr before Mumm-Ra can, or rescue his fellow cat?
* [[spoiler:SealedEvilInACan]]: Complete with creepy CompellingVoice and a commanding [[spoiler:"''Release me!''"]]
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: A slight-framed HumanoidAbomination in {{Mummy}}-wrappings and a large cloak.
* [[spoiler:SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Mumm-Ra's AdaptiveArmor has a skeletal motif]]
* SorcerousOverlord: An EvilSorceror and an EvilOverlord
* SquishyWizard: [[SubvertedTrope Only]] in his ShapeshifterDefaultForm. Beware when he busts out his ByThePowerOfGreyskull.
* [[spoiler:SufficientlyAdvancedAlien[=/=]WizardsFromOuterSpace:]] Otherworldly magic powers have to come from ''somewhere''...
* TakeOverTheWorld: But of course!
* TankGoodness: His Storm Charger [[spoiler:made of the face of his sarcophagus]]
* TentacleRope[=/=]VariableLengthChain: He can use his bandages to ensnare an opponent and lift them clear off of the ground.
* TransformationNameAnnouncement: "Ancient Spirits of Evil... [[TransformationSequence transform]] this decayed form, into Mumm-Ra... '''THE EVERRRR-LIIIVIIIIING'''"
* TransformationSequence: Mumm-Ra's [[OneWingedAngel Ever-living]] transformation sequence, triggered by his ByThePowerOfGreyskull, is seen rather infrequently.
* VaderBreath: Is exceptionally wheezy, [[spoiler: especially when he first wakes up.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Has a ShapeshifterDefaultForm, a OneWingedAngel form, general MasterOfDisguise[=/=]MasterOfIllusion powers, and a desperation form for quick escapes.
* [[spoiler:WeakenedByTheLight: In "Omens Part 2", sunlight interrupts him as he begins of his TransformationSequence and singes him a bit before he staggers back indoors.]]
** In "Journey to the Tower of Omens" [[spoiler:Mumm-Ra is forced to flee after Jaga's HeroicSacrifice via a powerful light spell, and Mumm-Ra ''was already in his true form when it happened''.]]
* [[spoiler:WeaponOfChoice: The Sword of Plun-Darr, as witnessed in "Legacy." And, as the EvilCounterpart to the Sword of Omens, it, too, can shrink down to fit inside his own Gauntlet. [[ShapeShifterWeapon Oh, and it can extend from a single-bladed sword to a double-bladed one.]] ]]
!Grune
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/032-ThunderCats-2011-Grune-the-Betrayer_2797.jpg
-->''Voiced by: ClancyBrown''
Grune is one of Claudus' trusted generals, sent with Panthro to find the Book of Omens. However, motivated by his ambition for power, Grune allied himself with the Lizards and Mumm-Ra.
----
!!Tropes associated with Grune:
* TwentyFourHourArmor: The only time he takes off his armor is to swap it for a new set.
* ArchEnemy: To Panthro.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: While not a {{Bishonen}} like the series' protagonists, he's certainly more handsome in this version.
* AffablyEvil: Until his FaceHeelTurn, his long friendship with Panthro isn't an act in the slightest, and his offer that WeCanRuleTogether is perfectly sincere. He also appears to genuinely enjoy Tygra's company and admire him for their common traits, even enthusiastically training him in swordfighting as a boy.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Grune's motivation for his FaceHeelTurn, underscored repeatedly during Panthro's {{Flashback}}s.
--> '''Panthro''', ''after Grune expresses a desire to rule Thundera'': [[FantasticCasteSystem You planning on becoming a lion]]?
--> '''Grune''': No, I'm planning on becoming ''[[TheUsurper king]]''.
* AscendedExtra: Was a minor, though [[EnsembleDarkhorse popular]], villain in the original series, only appearing in a couple episodes. This version is Mumm-Ra's [[TheDragon right-hand man]].
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He may run from fights he can't win, but the ones he ''has'' won include killing a giant spider many times his size.
* BadassBeard[=/=]BeardOfEvil: An expansive version.
* BearerOfBadNews: With a [[HeDidntMakeIt headshake]], and melancholic praise for his skill in battle, Grune [[DeathNotification informs Claudus of Panthro's death]] and hands over Panthro's [[TragicKeepsake nunchucks]].
* BrownEyes
* TheCaptain: As with Panthro, a [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] element of his {{backstory}}, seen as a stepping stone on his way to becoming a general.
* CarryABigStick: A big freaking mace [[hottip:*: which appears to be a Japanese [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanab%C5%8D kanabo]].]] that turns into a [[{{BFG}} big freaking]] LightningGun. Had a more traditional round-headed mace before his FaceHeelTurn.
* CavalryBetrayal: During TheSiege of Thundera, Grune shows up to fire a FlareGun [[spoiler:that seems to bring the HumongousMecha fleet to a halt]], only to perform an InsigniaRipOffRitual and an EvilCostumeSwitch while debuting his nasty new weapon.
* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: Even given his FlungClothing, it takes entirely too little time for him to change into his more elaborate togs.
* LesCollaborateurs: Formed an alliance with Mumm-Ra and the Lizards to orchestrate Thundera's fall.
* DealWithTheDevil: Frustrated in his ambitions of rulership, Grune frees Mumm-Ra in exchange for the promise of power, agreeing to engineer Thundera's sacking and serve as TheDragon until Mumm-Ra gets ahold of the Eye of Thundera. He is, however, quick to recognize possible opportunities to betray Mumm-Ra.
* DevilInPlainSight: He dropped anvil-sized hints to Panthro for years upon years that he had designs on the throne. But for some reason, it didn't register [[spoiler: until the moment they met Mumm-Ra.]]
* TheDragon
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Part of his GlorySeeker behavior. He prefers large shows of courage instead of working under the radar, and hopes to become General of Thundera's troops. He's initially very unhappy with being given the quest to find the Book of Omens, and in a moment of paranoia, blurts out to Panthro that not only is it a SnipeHunt, but a UriahGambit to get Grune out of the kingdom.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: By way of revealing his alliance with the Lizards, Grune changes into a dark suit of armor.
* EvilFormerFriend: To both Claudus and Panthro
* FaceHeelTurn
* FangsAreEvil: Because his single, massive sabertooth is neither little nor cute.
* FashionableAsymmetry: It ''does'' look pretty cool though.
* FlungClothing: Grune casts aside his armor in this way
* FourStarBadass: Once "Thundera's greatest general"
* GenreSavvy: As a Thunderian General, Grune understands very well how to play a role as a means to an end, persistently seeking ways to get and stay in Thundera's halls of power and the public eye. As TheDragon, when he sets a trap for the Thundercats, he calls out as he [[VillainExitStageLeft makes his escape]], [[WeWillMeetAgain "Until next time, Panthro!"]] wisely assuming that since Panthro [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat somehow survived]] his first brush with death, he'd do so again.
* GlorySeeker: Calculatingly so, as glory is a means to acquire power.
* GodEmperor: Grune seeks to [[ExploitedTrope exploit]] the CargoCult of the Book of Omens this way
--> '''Panthro''': Look at them, they're already hailing us as heroes.
-->'''Grune''': If we come back with the Book of Omens, we'll be hailed as ''gods''.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: In "Between Brothers", Panthro reveals the reason he's only got one fang: in the past they were confronted by a legendary giant spider, and Grune ''ripped his tooth out'' so he could stab it in the eye. [[{{Badass}} Damn.]]
* HeroicBuild: As Panthro notes, he's a cat "who pulls his weight."
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Panthro, in {{Flashback}}s. Likes him enough that even after his FaceHeelTurn he readily makes the offer that WeCanRuleTogether.
* [[HyperspaceMallet Hyperspace Mace]]: In {{flashback}} Grune's mace appears out of nowhere in time for him to fight Panthro
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: As explained by Panthro, his personal philosophy is "To defeat an enemy, any sacrifice is worth it." [[spoiler:Bites him in the ass when Panthro turns the philosophy to justify sacrificing his own arms in order to throw Grune into a collapsing Astral Plane.]]
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: [[InvertedTrope Inverted.]] Grune gives this as his baseline motivation, but the reality is rather more complex.
* InsigniaRipOffRitual: Grune reveals his CavalryBetrayal and begins his EvilCostumeSwitch this way.
* {{Jerkass}}: Betrayed his friend, betrayed his king, betrayed his people, will only fight battles where he's guaranteed to win, list goes on.
* LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: Grune's M.O. as a soldier. There's a war on? Enlist so he can put his skills to use. He sees his King overrun by Lizards? Rig a catapult to kill them al-well, not the King- so he can become a Captain thanks to his timely demonstration of valor. Huge battle? Keep count of his kills so he can make General.
* MorphWeapon: A ''huge'' ''[[CarryABigStick kanabo]]'', which slowly telescopes, and charges up before serving as a {{BFG}} LightningGun.
* MythologyGag[=/=]WholeCostumeReference: Before putting on his battle armor, he's wearing a tweaked version of his outfit from the original series.
* [[spoiler:NeverFoundTheBody]]: [[spoiler:In "Between Brothers", he gets sucked into the collapsing Astral Plane along with Panthro's arms; time will tell whether he's KilledOffForReal or not.]]
* OddNameOut: Along with Claudus, breaks the standard ADogNamedDog convention for Thundercat names.
* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] with Grune, who [[GenreSavvy understands]] the surest way to succeed at rebellion is to ''become'' a paragon.
* RedRightHand: His single fang, a clear deformity that gives him a decidedly sinister appearance despite his AdaptationalAttractiveness.
* SmugSnake: Much like his original incarnation.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Unlike his 80's counterpart, he isn't a ghost in this series.
* [[spoiler:TheStarscream: Began plotting to kill Mumm-Ra...just before Grune himself suffered an unfortunate mishap involving a demensional gateway.]]
* {{Turncoat}}: Defected to Mumm-Ra as soon as he was promised power.
* TheUsurper: Initially planned to use his status as Paragon and later discoverer of the Book of Omens to become this, apparently including Panthro in his plans.
!Slithe
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ThunderCats-Slithe_5353.jpg
-->''Voiced by: DeeBradleyBaker''
The brutish leader of the Lizards, Slithe is slightly lacking in sophistication, but he's very intuitive and cunning. He's also a very cruel and vindictive leader.
----
!!Tropes associated with Slithe:
* AdaptationalBadass: So far smarter and more dangerous than his 80's counterpart.
* FantasticRacism: Harbors a strong hatred for cats.
* FatBastard
* {{Jerkass}}
* LargeAndInCharge
* MookLieutenant: Despite being a General, serves in this capacity for Mumm-Ra and Grune.
* MythologyGag: In "Song of the Petalars", Slithe adds a "Yes." to the end of his sentence when speaking, a nod to the original's more severe VerbalTic.
* OnlySaneMan: Compared to [[AxCrazy Kaynar]] and [[ImAHumanitarian Addicus]], anyway.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent
* ShoutOut: As with the original, his design is a tribute to the Orcs from RankinBass' ''[[WesternAnimation/TheHobbit The Hobbit]]''.
* TheStarscream: In "Between Brothers" he proved just how far his ''loyalty'' to Mumm-Ra really goes.
* UnfriendlyFire: So Mumm-Ra's still inside the hut? ...[[spoiler:Destroy that hut men!]]
* WeHaveReserves: He wants to burn down the Briar Woods to get the Thundercats. His scouting party's still inside? "They are expendable... as are ''you'', Lieutenant!"
!Kaynar
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Kaynar_mugshot_225px_7684.png
-->''Voiced by: DeeBradleyBaker''
A Jackalman and one of Mumm-Ra's two new generals. He is the new version of Jackalman from the original series.
----
!!Tropes associated with Kaynar:
* AdaptationNameChange: From Jackalman to Kaynar
* AdaptationalBadass: He even ''looks'' dangerous!
* AxCrazy: While in prison, Kaynar has to be strapped to a gurney and heavily restrained just to be moved to solitary confinement, which he earned after killing eleven inmates. He's pretty sanguine about his punishment:
--> '''Kaynar:''' At least I'll have the voices in my head to talk to.
** He wasn't even intereted in Sliithe freeing him till he was told he could 'play' with some cats.
* BladeOnAStick: His WeaponOfChoice.
* BloodKnight
* EatsBabies: Gives some thought to eating one of the kittens.
* EvilRedhead: Orange fur, but still creepy as hell.
** CurtainsMatchTheWindows
* GigglingVillain
* LaughablyEvil:
--> "You're like a toy that never breaks! Hahaha. I love it!"
* PsychoForHire
* SerialKiller
* SlasherSmile
!Addicus
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Atticus_mugshot_225px_2377.png
-->''Voiced by: RobinAtkinDownes''
A Monkey and one of Mumm-Ra's two new generals. He is the new version of Monkian from the original series.
----
!!Tropes associated with Addicus:
* AdaptationNameChange: From Monkian to Addicus
* AdaptationalBadass: Bigger, smarter, and badder than his 80's counterpart.
* BloodKnight
* CarryABigStick: Not as massive as Grune's and lacking the lightning, but Addicus does swing around a mean looking double headed mace.
* ImAHumanitarian: He seems to have an appetite for other sentients. Let's start with his would-be avian executioners and go from there...
* ManiacMonkeys
* PsychoForHire
* SerialKiller
* VerbalTic: As of "The Trials of Lion-O" he can be heard making monkey grunts similar to his 80's counterpart.
!Ancient Spirits of Evil
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/770px-TCats_Ep17_Still_5_6880.jpg
--> ''Voiced by: JimCummings''
Evil beings who were once worshipped, and give Mumm-Ra his mystic dark power.
----

* [[spoiler:BigNo: Deliver one near the end of "Native Son".]]
* BiggerBad: These are the ones that Mumm-Ra answers to.
* DarkIsEvil: Indeed it is
* [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]]
* {{Expy}}: One of them looks exactly like the Egyptian God Anubis.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: We only know them by the group title. No individual names, as of yet.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Revealed to have inflicted one on the Tigers: first they let the plague run its course, which killed them all, and then they cursed them to exist as ghosts who would become monsters every nightfall]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The ''reason'' they wanted Tygra dead? [[spoiler:He will be a thorn in their side when he grows older]].
* GodOfEvil[=/=]JerkassGods
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: [[spoiler: Their desire to want Tygra dead created the very thorn they wanted to avert.]]

* BadassMustache: It's a long, thin handlebar.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Likes unique swords, especially when wielded by inexperienced users. Care to make a wager?
* {{Cool Sword}}s: Yes...exactly, they're what he has, and what he wants.
* DualWielding: Favors a SinisterScimitar and a RoyalRapier.
* EvilSoundsDeep: It's Miguel Ferrer. You can't get much deeper.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: At night, his already red eyes glow.
* HustlingTheMark: A variant. At no point does he ''feign'' incompetence around his [[TheMark marks]]. Instead, he capitalizes on their naiveté of his MasterSwordsman status to goad them into dueling him out of misplaced {{pride}} in their own skills. Oh, and he also neglects to mention that when you put your sword up against his "best blade," he'll have one [[DualWielding in his other hand]]. Presto, one more sword for his portable shield rack.
* MasterSwordsman
* NamedWeapons: Likely has plenty, but the only one given is the Sword of Hattanzo. [[spoiler: And the Sword of Omens for a few hours.]]
* PointedEars
* ProfessionalGambler: Winner takes all. And he always wins.
* PunnyName: He's a duelist, who's a [[DualWielding dualist]].
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Red irises on deep maroon sclera.
* RoyalRapier: His right-hand sword, to go along with his {{Swashbuckler}} aesthetic.
* RubberForeheadAlien: A rare creature on a planet of HumanoidAliens and PettingZooPeople.
* SamuraiCowboy: A gunslinger with swords, in {{Swashbuckler}} togs just to further [[NinjaZombiePirateRobot confound classification]].
* SinisterScimitar: His [[AWorldWidePunomenon left-hand]] sword, the famous Sword of Hattanzo.
* SmugSnake: A master at his art, who assumes he's unbeatable.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Really, Lion-O should have known he was bad news.
* {{Swashbuckler}}: A walking refugee of the genre incongruously traipsing around a CattlePunk[=/=]''{{Wutai}}'' and challenging victims to a classic ShowdownAtHighNoon.
* VillainousCheekbones: Very high and narrow.
* VillainousWidowsPeak
* WalkingArmory: He carries all of the swords he took from his opponents on his back.
!Conquedor
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Conquedor2_225px_897.png
-->''Voiced by: JonPolito''
A merchant slaver and trafficker who captures Ro-Bear Bill's family. He captures and sells all sorts of things, from Berbils to [[MythologyGag large cats]]. [[KickTheDog Making him the ultimate scumbag]].
----
!!Tropes associated with the Conquedor
* {{BFG}}: His rifle is ''HUGE!''
* CoolHelmet: Wears a modified conquistador's morion.
* EgomaniacHunter: Which could possibly make him an...
* {{Expy}}: Of Safari Joe from the original series.
* FatBastard: Rather corpulent, rather cruel.
* HighClassGlass: He wears what look like infrared googles.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: Or whatever the heck he is.
!Ratar-O
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rataro_6961.png
-->''Voiced by: CarloRota''
Tyranical ruler of the Rats in Mount Plun-Darr and the descendant of Ratilla. He enslaved the cats, forcing them to work in the mines and search for the Sword of Plun-Darr.
----
!!Tropes associated with Ratar-O:
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The leader of the rats proves to be a rather capable fighter when Lion-O faces him, with the two of them being rather evenly matched.
* BadassMustache: Has styled his whiskers into a rather refined-looking mustache, akin to what you'd find in an imperial Chinese court.
* BadBoss: His treatment of his direct subordinate certainly won't be winning him any prizes for "Boss of the Year," will it? [[spoiler:[[TheDogBitesBack It comes back to bite him big-time when said subordinate decides to side with Lion-O by throwing him his sword and gauntlet. ]] ]]
* DualWielding: Ratar-O uses the twin Rat Eye Daggers, which are able to shoot charged energy bolts when crossed.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Acts refined and sophisticated, but is as brutal as any other villain. Which leads right into him being a...
* FatBastard
* JerkassHasAPoint: He's a villain and a tyrant, make no mistake. But considering what we knew of Thundera's FantasticRacism towards the lizards, his claim that the cats didn't want to share similar power with other races (hence why they sent Jaga to reclaim the Sword of Plun-Darr from Ratilla) may have more weight to it than we know...
* KickTheDog: When two cat slaves overpower his underling and try to make a run for it, he chases them into a dead end, taunts them for their failure, and unleashes a single blast of energy from his crossed daggers. Then he walks away with a wicked chuckle. [[GoryDiscretionShot We don't actually see the aftermath,]] but it's pretty clear what just happened.
* KnifeNut: Those twin daggers of his are rather large and ornate to be simple knives, but they come close enough.
* LargeAndInCharge: Assuming that paunch isn't just padding from the armor, Ratar-O has a belly on him. He's noticeably taller than his men. And he's [[IncrediblyLamePun the big cheese]]. Yeah, this applies.
* MythologyGag: His design is very close to how he looked in the original series, but closer inspection shows that he actually looks more like the original Ratilla, at least in terms of costume design.
* OhCrap: Gets one of these [[spoiler: when Lion-O gets his sword and gauntlet back, courtesy of TheDogBitesBack.]]
** And another one when [[spoiler: Lion-O's gauntlet generates an energy field to harness the blast from his Rat Eye Daggers, allowing Lion-O to reflect that power right back at him.]]
* ShadowArchetype: Like Lion-O, he's the leader of his people, has claim to an ancestral weapon (the Sword of Plun-Darr to Lion-O's Sword of Omens), and wields an enchanted blade (his Rat's Eye Daggers). However, where Lion-O is a noble leader who respects his team as friends, Ratar-O is a harsh tyrant who berates his servants (Mordax, in particular) for so much as speaking out of turn.
* [[spoiler:TennisBoss: Worth mentioning, as the way Lion-O ultimately defeats him is by using his gauntlet to block and absorb the energy from Ratar-O's twin energy daggers...[[HoistByHisOwnPetard and throw it right back in his face.]] ]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Claims that his motivation for all his cruel deeds--enslaving the cats and having them mine a dangerous cave for the Sword of Plun-Darr--was that he can lead his people to glory, no longer living off the scraps of the cats or any of the other races. [[spoiler:Except, as Lion-O himself puts it, his people "are just slaves on the other side of the whip."]]
* WickedCultured: As mentioned under FauxAffablyEvil, he generally acts like quite the cultured nobleman.
!Mordax
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mordax_3359.jpg
-->''Voiced by: KevinMichaelRichardson''
Rataro's underling, who must constantly suffer his abuse.
----
!!Tropes associated with Mordax:
* TheDogBitesBack: See ScrewThisImOuttaHere. [[spoiler:Oh, and he also kicked Lion-O's sword and gauntlet back to him, thereby ensuring that Lion-O would have a fighting chance against his abusive master.]]
* EvilOldFolks: Something of an aversion, as he claims he was JustFollowingOrders to whip a cat-slave when Pumyra attacks him. [[spoiler:In a much more clear aversion, he performs a ScrewThisImOuttaHere on Ratar-o [[TheDogBitesBack and throws Lion-O his sword and gauntlet.]]]]
* EyepatchOfPower: Averted somewhat; he's never shown to be a very capable fighter.
* GigglingVillain: [[spoiler:Averted, his only menacing snicker really comes when he turns on his boss by throwing Lion-O his weapons.]]
* JustFollowingOrders: He pulls this excuse when Pumyra attacks him for whipping one of the cat-slaves. She doesn't take it well.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: Smaller than just about everyone, making it easier for Ratar-O to abuse him.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He abandons Ratar-O after suffering under his abuse and being shown mercy by Lion-O.
* UngratefulBastard: Lion-O just saved him from a wrathful Pumyra. How does the little creep show his gratitude? By pulling a scythe on Lion-O, forcing him, Pumyra, and Panthro to surrender. [[spoiler: Ultimately averted, as he ends up turning against Ratar-O ''because'' Lion-O showed him more mercy ([[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe and therefore, kindness]]) than the leader of his own kind ever did.]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thuncats_mumra_174x252_b_1759.png
-->''Voiced by: RobinAtkinDownes''
Mumm-Ra was the ancient foe of Thundercats, long ago defeated. Resurfacing, Mumm-Ra masterminded Thundera's downfall to obtain the Eye of Thundera, the jewel within the Sword of Omens' hilt.
----
!!Tropes associated with Mumm-Ra:
* AdaptationalBadass: The original's sedentary {{Mummy}} playing OrcusOnHisThrone is not in evidence here. SquishyWizard he may be, but Mumm-Ra makes his debut with an impressive act of regicide, followed up with the [[OneHitKill slaughter]] of Claudus' PraetorianGuard, all without breaking a sweat ''or'' breaking out the OneWingedAngel.
* AdaptiveArmor: [[spoiler:Using [[PowerCrystal Power Crystals]] as [[AmplifierArtifact Amplifier Artifacts]], his Gauntlet can transform into a set of custom skeletal armor.]]
* AgonyBeam: In his OneWingedAngel form, he employs this on Lion-O with intent to kill.
* {{Archenemy}}: To the Thundercats.
* [[spoiler:BatOutOfHell]][=/=]WingedHumanoid: In his OneWingedAngel form
* BigBad
* BreathWeapon: In his OneWingedAngel form, Mumm-Ra can breathe hot pink PureEnergy blasts.
* BrokenPedestal: Mumm-Ra became this for [[spoiler:his tactician Leo]] in the backstory when he [[spoiler:destroyed a solar system populated by billions to forge the Sword of Plundaar.]] This was what convinced [[spoiler:Leo that Mumm-Ra had to stopped.]]
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull[=/=]TransformationNameAnnouncement: (Villain variant) "Ancient Spirits of Evil, transform this decayed form into Mumm-Ra, the THE EVERRRR-LIIIVIIIIING!!!" triggers Mumm-Ra's TransformationSequence into his secondary OneWingedAngel form.
* CardCarryingVillain: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in a very literal sense, as Mumm-Ra must call upon "Ancient Spirits of Evil" to grant him access to his OneWingedAngel Form.
* [[spoiler:CommandingCoolness: Pre-{{Gotterdammerung}}, Mumm-Ra was the Commander of a SpaceNavy that took the Eye of Thundera as {{Plunder}}, and counted ''Thundercats'' among his underlings.]]
* [[spoiler:CoolSword[=/=]DoubleWeapon: His Sword of Plun-Darr]]
* DarkIsEvil: Though Mumm-Ra himself is colored grey, his [[TankGoodness tank]] and any weaponry or armor he uses are black, and chased with TronLines.
* TheDreaded: Even as an artifact of history, his reputation precedes him. His first spoken line, wherein he [[BadassBoast refers to himself]] completely without irony as being "[a thing] of your worst nightmares," suggests he is perfectly happy to [[ExploitedTrope exploit]] this.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When describing Addicus and Kanar to Slithe, he says the two have committed crimes even he wouldn't do.
** [[SubvertedTrope Of course, he then sends Slithe to hire them, anyway... ]]
** Not to mention when you're willing to [[spoiler: wipe out ''billions of lives'' just to create an InfinityPlusOneSword]], you've pretty much crossed the MoralEventHorizon.
* EvilBrit: On an alien planet, no less.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler: Thinks nothing of Leo and Panthera's shock that he would wipe out billions of lives in a galaxy just to create a sword.]] He mocks Lion-O for trying to save Pumyra rather than try to escape with the Sword of Plun-Darr:
-->'''Mumm-Ra:''' "Generations pass, and your species is still weakened by emotion!"
* EvilIsHammy: ''THEEE EVERRRR-LIIIIIIIIIVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!''
* EvilOldFolks: Not only is he Really700YearsOld, he looks it.
* FangsAreEvil
* HumanoidAbomination: Peculiarly, Mumm-Ra resembles nothing so much as an inexplicably red-eyed, fanged, snub-nosed, grey [[HumansAreCthulhu human]] in {{Mummy}} wrappings. [[spoiler:However, his OneWingedAngel form explains the snub nose and makes his species explicit: He's a leaf-nosed (Vampire) [[BatOutOfHell bat]].]]
** The artists get bonus points for just having his Mummy form move in a subtly WRONG way.
* InTheHood: Mumm-Ra always wears a long, trailing, tattered red cloak with the hood concealing much of his face.
* KamehameHadoken: Quite capably kills most of the Clerics in [[OneHitKill a single blow]].
* LargeAndInCharge: In his OneWingedAngel form, he ''towers'' over the Cats.
* LivingRelic[=/=]TimeAbyss: Mumm-Ra has been around for a ''very'' long time. [[spoiler:He predates the colonization of Third Earth.]]
* TheMagnificent: The '''EVER-LIVING!'''
* TheManBehindTheCurtain: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] TheDreaded ancient enemy of the Thundercats is a small, stooped, old, emaciated...red-eyed EvilSorcerer and ''HumanoidAbomination.'' His physical frailty only serves to make him more disturbing.
** And then he transforms and the Thundercats get their butts handed to them.
* MasterOfIllusion[=/=]MasterOfDisguise: We first see him use it to [[spoiler: disguise himself as Panthro.]]
* MeaningfulName[=/=]MultiethnicName[=/=]PunnyName: Derived from the English word "mummy," and ''Ra'' the ancient Egyptian ''sun'' god.
* MindRape: The interrogation variety is one of Mumm-Ra's specialties, [[spoiler: Though Jaga screams, he doesn't yield the information Mumm-Ra seeks.]].
* MiniatureSeniorCitizen[=/=]MisterBig: In his ShapeshifterDefaultForm, Mumm-Ra is quite short and stooped, but no less intimidating.
* MobileMenace: Gets around in a [[TankGoodness tank]], the Storm Charger, when it suits him.
* {{Mummy}}: With all the standard trappings, and some decidedly nonstandard, like a techno-pyramid.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Mumm-Ra is a *deep breath* {{mummy}}[=/=]{{lich}} [[spoiler:vampire bat ''alien from space''.]] Who lives in a pyramid [[spoiler:''spaceship'']] and rides around in a tank [[spoiler:that's a coffin]]. Amazing, no?
* NonHumanUndead[=/=]OurLichesAreDifferent: His concept also borrows heavily from Lich iconography. Most don't have awesome tanks, though.
* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:He destroyed an entire galaxy, with three planets populated by billions of people, to create the material that would become the Sword of Plun-Darr and its gauntlet.]]
* OneWingedAngel: Appropriately enough, [[WingedHumanoid has wings]].
* OutsideContextVillain: Became this over the centuries as memory of him faded away into legend and superstition.
* [[spoiler:RavensAndCrows]]: Mumm-Ra's desperation form, which he uses to flee after coming too close to defeat at the hands of the Thundercats, and for stealth purposes.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Played absolutely straight, even [[LiteralMetaphor literally]], as his first appearance ''is'' his eyes, seen in a [[{{seers}} vision]] sent by the Sword of Omens.
* SadisticChoice: When he fights Lion-O in the Mountain of Plun-Darr to retrieve the sword of the same name, he threatens Pumyra by throwing her into a chasm, forcing Lion-O to choose: Grab the Sword of Plun-Darr before Mumm-Ra can, or rescue his fellow cat?
* [[spoiler:SealedEvilInACan]]: Complete with creepy CompellingVoice and a commanding [[spoiler:"''Release me!''"]]
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: A slight-framed HumanoidAbomination in {{Mummy}}-wrappings and a large cloak.
* [[spoiler:SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Mumm-Ra's AdaptiveArmor has a skeletal motif]]
* SorcerousOverlord: An EvilSorceror and an EvilOverlord
* SquishyWizard: [[SubvertedTrope Only]] in his ShapeshifterDefaultForm. Beware when he busts out his ByThePowerOfGreyskull.
* [[spoiler:SufficientlyAdvancedAlien[=/=]WizardsFromOuterSpace:]] Otherworldly magic powers have to come from ''somewhere''...
* TakeOverTheWorld: But of course!
* TankGoodness: His Storm Charger [[spoiler:made of the face of his sarcophagus]]
* TentacleRope[=/=]VariableLengthChain: He can use his bandages to ensnare an opponent and lift them clear off of the ground.
* TransformationNameAnnouncement: "Ancient Spirits of Evil... [[TransformationSequence transform]] this decayed form, into Mumm-Ra... '''THE EVERRRR-LIIIVIIIIING'''"
* TransformationSequence: Mumm-Ra's [[OneWingedAngel Ever-living]] transformation sequence, triggered by his ByThePowerOfGreyskull, is seen rather infrequently.
* VaderBreath: Is exceptionally wheezy, [[spoiler: especially when he first wakes up.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Has a ShapeshifterDefaultForm, a OneWingedAngel form, general MasterOfDisguise[=/=]MasterOfIllusion powers, and a desperation form for quick escapes.
* [[spoiler:WeakenedByTheLight: In "Omens Part 2", sunlight interrupts him as he begins of his TransformationSequence and singes him a bit before he staggers back indoors.]]
** In "Journey to the Tower of Omens" [[spoiler:Mumm-Ra is forced to flee after Jaga's HeroicSacrifice via a powerful light spell, and Mumm-Ra ''was already in his true form when it happened''.]]
* [[spoiler:WeaponOfChoice: The Sword of Plun-Darr, as witnessed in "Legacy." And, as the EvilCounterpart to the Sword of Omens, it, too, can shrink down to fit inside his own Gauntlet. [[ShapeShifterWeapon Oh, and it can extend from a single-bladed sword to a double-bladed one.]] ]]
!Grune
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/032-ThunderCats-2011-Grune-the-Betrayer_2797.jpg
-->''Voiced by: ClancyBrown''
Grune is one of Claudus' trusted generals, sent with Panthro to find the Book of Omens. However, motivated by his ambition for power, Grune allied himself with the Lizards and Mumm-Ra.
----
!!Tropes associated with Grune:
* TwentyFourHourArmor: The only time he takes off his armor is to swap it for a new set.
* ArchEnemy: To Panthro.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: While not a {{Bishonen}} like the series' protagonists, he's certainly more handsome in this version.
* AffablyEvil: Until his FaceHeelTurn, his long friendship with Panthro isn't an act in the slightest, and his offer that WeCanRuleTogether is perfectly sincere. He also appears to genuinely enjoy Tygra's company and admire him for their common traits, even enthusiastically training him in swordfighting as a boy.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Grune's motivation for his FaceHeelTurn, underscored repeatedly during Panthro's {{Flashback}}s.
--> '''Panthro''', ''after Grune expresses a desire to rule Thundera'': [[FantasticCasteSystem You planning on becoming a lion]]?
--> '''Grune''': No, I'm planning on becoming ''[[TheUsurper king]]''.
* AscendedExtra: Was a minor, though [[EnsembleDarkhorse popular]], villain in the original series, only appearing in a couple episodes. This version is Mumm-Ra's [[TheDragon right-hand man]].
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He may run from fights he can't win, but the ones he ''has'' won include killing a giant spider many times his size.
* BadassBeard[=/=]BeardOfEvil: An expansive version.
* BearerOfBadNews: With a [[HeDidntMakeIt headshake]], and melancholic praise for his skill in battle, Grune [[DeathNotification informs Claudus of Panthro's death]] and hands over Panthro's [[TragicKeepsake nunchucks]].
* BrownEyes
* TheCaptain: As with Panthro, a [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] element of his {{backstory}}, seen as a stepping stone on his way to becoming a general.
* CarryABigStick: A big freaking mace [[hottip:*: which appears to be a Japanese [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanab%C5%8D kanabo]].]] that turns into a [[{{BFG}} big freaking]] LightningGun. Had a more traditional round-headed mace before his FaceHeelTurn.
* CavalryBetrayal: During TheSiege of Thundera, Grune shows up to fire a FlareGun [[spoiler:that seems to bring the HumongousMecha fleet to a halt]], only to perform an InsigniaRipOffRitual and an EvilCostumeSwitch while debuting his nasty new weapon.
* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: Even given his FlungClothing, it takes entirely too little time for him to change into his more elaborate togs.
* LesCollaborateurs: Formed an alliance with Mumm-Ra and the Lizards to orchestrate Thundera's fall.
* DealWithTheDevil: Frustrated in his ambitions of rulership, Grune frees Mumm-Ra in exchange for the promise of power, agreeing to engineer Thundera's sacking and serve as TheDragon until Mumm-Ra gets ahold of the Eye of Thundera. He is, however, quick to recognize possible opportunities to betray Mumm-Ra.
* DevilInPlainSight: He dropped anvil-sized hints to Panthro for years upon years that he had designs on the throne. But for some reason, it didn't register [[spoiler: until the moment they met Mumm-Ra.]]
* TheDragon
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Part of his GlorySeeker behavior. He prefers large shows of courage instead of working under the radar, and hopes to become General of Thundera's troops. He's initially very unhappy with being given the quest to find the Book of Omens, and in a moment of paranoia, blurts out to Panthro that not only is it a SnipeHunt, but a UriahGambit to get Grune out of the kingdom.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: By way of revealing his alliance with the Lizards, Grune changes into a dark suit of armor.
* EvilFormerFriend: To both Claudus and Panthro
* FaceHeelTurn
* FangsAreEvil: Because his single, massive sabertooth is neither little nor cute.
* FashionableAsymmetry: It ''does'' look pretty cool though.
* FlungClothing: Grune casts aside his armor in this way
* FourStarBadass: Once "Thundera's greatest general"
* GenreSavvy: As a Thunderian General, Grune understands very well how to play a role as a means to an end, persistently seeking ways to get and stay in Thundera's halls of power and the public eye. As TheDragon, when he sets a trap for the Thundercats, he calls out as he [[VillainExitStageLeft makes his escape]], [[WeWillMeetAgain "Until next time, Panthro!"]] wisely assuming that since Panthro [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat somehow survived]] his first brush with death, he'd do so again.
* GlorySeeker: Calculatingly so, as glory is a means to acquire power.
* GodEmperor: Grune seeks to [[ExploitedTrope exploit]] the CargoCult of the Book of Omens this way
--> '''Panthro''': Look at them, they're already hailing us as heroes.
-->'''Grune''': If we come back with the Book of Omens, we'll be hailed as ''gods''.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: In "Between Brothers", Panthro reveals the reason he's only got one fang: in the past they were confronted by a legendary giant spider, and Grune ''ripped his tooth out'' so he could stab it in the eye. [[{{Badass}} Damn.]]
* HeroicBuild: As Panthro notes, he's a cat "who pulls his weight."
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Panthro, in {{Flashback}}s. Likes him enough that even after his FaceHeelTurn he readily makes the offer that WeCanRuleTogether.
* [[HyperspaceMallet Hyperspace Mace]]: In {{flashback}} Grune's mace appears out of nowhere in time for him to fight Panthro
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: As explained by Panthro, his personal philosophy is "To defeat an enemy, any sacrifice is worth it." [[spoiler:Bites him in the ass when Panthro turns the philosophy to justify sacrificing his own arms in order to throw Grune into a collapsing Astral Plane.]]
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: [[InvertedTrope Inverted.]] Grune gives this as his baseline motivation, but the reality is rather more complex.
* InsigniaRipOffRitual: Grune reveals his CavalryBetrayal and begins his EvilCostumeSwitch this way.
* {{Jerkass}}: Betrayed his friend, betrayed his king, betrayed his people, will only fight battles where he's guaranteed to win, list goes on.
* LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: Grune's M.O. as a soldier. There's a war on? Enlist so he can put his skills to use. He sees his King overrun by Lizards? Rig a catapult to kill them al-well, not the King- so he can become a Captain thanks to his timely demonstration of valor. Huge battle? Keep count of his kills so he can make General.
* MorphWeapon: A ''huge'' ''[[CarryABigStick kanabo]]'', which slowly telescopes, and charges up before serving as a {{BFG}} LightningGun.
* MythologyGag[=/=]WholeCostumeReference: Before putting on his battle armor, he's wearing a tweaked version of his outfit from the original series.
* [[spoiler:NeverFoundTheBody]]: [[spoiler:In "Between Brothers", he gets sucked into the collapsing Astral Plane along with Panthro's arms; time will tell whether he's KilledOffForReal or not.]]
* OddNameOut: Along with Claudus, breaks the standard ADogNamedDog convention for Thundercat names.
* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] with Grune, who [[GenreSavvy understands]] the surest way to succeed at rebellion is to ''become'' a paragon.
* RedRightHand: His single fang, a clear deformity that gives him a decidedly sinister appearance despite his AdaptationalAttractiveness.
* SmugSnake: Much like his original incarnation.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Unlike his 80's counterpart, he isn't a ghost in this series.
* [[spoiler:TheStarscream: Began plotting to kill Mumm-Ra...just before Grune himself suffered an unfortunate mishap involving a demensional gateway.]]
* {{Turncoat}}: Defected to Mumm-Ra as soon as he was promised power.
* TheUsurper: Initially planned to use his status as Paragon and later discoverer of the Book of Omens to become this, apparently including Panthro in his plans.
!Slithe
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ThunderCats-Slithe_5353.jpg
-->''Voiced by: DeeBradleyBaker''
The brutish leader of the Lizards, Slithe is slightly lacking in sophistication, but he's very intuitive and cunning. He's also a very cruel and vindictive leader.
----
!!Tropes associated with Slithe:
* AdaptationalBadass: So far smarter and more dangerous than his 80's counterpart.
* FantasticRacism: Harbors a strong hatred for cats.
* FatBastard
* {{Jerkass}}
* LargeAndInCharge
* MookLieutenant: Despite being a General, serves in this capacity for Mumm-Ra and Grune.
* MythologyGag: In "Song of the Petalars", Slithe adds a "Yes." to the end of his sentence when speaking, a nod to the original's more severe VerbalTic.
* OnlySaneMan: Compared to [[AxCrazy Kaynar]] and [[ImAHumanitarian Addicus]], anyway.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent
* ShoutOut: As with the original, his design is a tribute to the Orcs from RankinBass' ''[[WesternAnimation/TheHobbit The Hobbit]]''.
* TheStarscream: In "Between Brothers" he proved just how far his ''loyalty'' to Mumm-Ra really goes.
* UnfriendlyFire: So Mumm-Ra's still inside the hut? ...[[spoiler:Destroy that hut men!]]
* WeHaveReserves: He wants to burn down the Briar Woods to get the Thundercats. His scouting party's still inside? "They are expendable... as are ''you'', Lieutenant!"

-->''Voiced by: DeeBradleyBaker''
A Jackalman and one of Mumm-Ra's two new generals. He is the new version of Jackalman from the original series.
----
!!Tropes associated with Kaynar:
* AdaptationNameChange: From Jackalman to Kaynar
* AdaptationalBadass: He even ''looks'' dangerous!
* AxCrazy: While in prison, Kaynar has to be strapped to a gurney and heavily restrained just to be moved to solitary confinement, which he earned after killing eleven inmates. He's pretty sanguine about his punishment:
--> '''Kaynar:''' At least I'll have the voices in my head to talk to.
** He wasn't even intereted in Sliithe freeing him till he was told he could 'play' with some cats.
* BladeOnAStick: His WeaponOfChoice.
* BloodKnight
* EatsBabies: Gives some thought to eating one of the kittens.
* EvilRedhead: Orange fur, but still creepy as hell.
** CurtainsMatchTheWindows
* GigglingVillain
* LaughablyEvil:

* SerialKiller
* SlasherSmile
!Addicus

-->''Voiced by: RobinAtkinDownes''
A Monkey and one of Mumm-Ra's two new generals. He is the new version of Monkian from the original series.
----
!!Tropes associated with Addicus:
* AdaptationNameChange: From Monkian to Addicus
* AdaptationalBadass: Bigger, smarter, and badder than his 80's counterpart.
* BloodKnight
* CarryABigStick: Not as massive as Grune's and lacking the lightning, but Addicus does swing around a mean looking double headed mace.
* ImAHumanitarian: He seems to have an appetite for other sentients. Let's start with his would-be avian executioners and go from there...
* ManiacMonkeys
* PsychoForHire
* SerialKiller
* VerbalTic: As of "The Trials of Lion-O" he can be heard making monkey grunts similar to his 80's counterpart.

* BiggerBad: These are the ones that Mumm-Ra answers to.
* DarkIsEvil: Indeed it is
* [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]]
* {{Expy}}: One of them looks exactly like the Egyptian God Anubis.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: We only know them by the group title. No individual names, as of yet.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Revealed to have inflicted one on the Tigers: first they let the plague run its course, which killed them all, and then they cursed them to exist as ghosts who would become monsters every nightfall]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The ''reason'' they wanted Tygra dead? [[spoiler:He will be a thorn in their side when he grows older]].

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/theduelist_2348.png
-->''Voiced by: MiguelFerrer''
The best swordsman in the land, the Duelist challenges those whose weapons he admires to duels, so he can claim their swords as trophies.
----
!!Tropes associated with The Duelist
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Light purple skin.
* BadassLongcoat: Sports an extremely elaborate caped military tailcoat.
* BadassMustache: It's a long, thin handlebar.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Likes unique swords, especially when wielded by inexperienced users. Care to make a wager?
* {{Cool Sword}}s: Yes...exactly, they're what he has, and what he wants.
* DualWielding: Favors a SinisterScimitar and a RoyalRapier.
* EvilSoundsDeep: It's Miguel Ferrer. You can't get much deeper.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: At night, his already red eyes glow.
* HustlingTheMark: A variant. At no point does he ''feign'' incompetence around his [[TheMark marks]]. Instead, he capitalizes on their naiveté of his MasterSwordsman status to goad them into dueling him out of misplaced {{pride}} in their own skills. Oh, and he also neglects to mention that when you put your sword up against his "best blade," he'll have one [[DualWielding in his other hand]]. Presto, one more sword for his portable shield rack.
* MasterSwordsman
* NamedWeapons: Likely has plenty, but the only one given is the Sword of Hattanzo. [[spoiler: And the Sword of Omens for a few hours.]]
* PointedEars
* ProfessionalGambler: Winner takes all. And he always wins.
* PunnyName: He's a duelist, who's a [[DualWielding dualist]].
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Red irises on deep maroon sclera.
* RoyalRapier: His right-hand sword, to go along with his {{Swashbuckler}} aesthetic.
* RubberForeheadAlien: A rare creature on a planet of HumanoidAliens and PettingZooPeople.
* SamuraiCowboy: A gunslinger with swords, in {{Swashbuckler}} togs just to further [[NinjaZombiePirateRobot confound classification]].
* SinisterScimitar: His [[AWorldWidePunomenon left-hand]] sword, the famous Sword of Hattanzo.
* SmugSnake: A master at his art, who assumes he's unbeatable.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Really, Lion-O should have known he was bad news.
* {{Swashbuckler}}: A walking refugee of the genre incongruously traipsing around a CattlePunk[=/=]''{{Wutai}}'' and challenging victims to a classic ShowdownAtHighNoon.
* VillainousCheekbones: Very high and narrow.
* VillainousWidowsPeak
* WalkingArmory: He carries all of the swords he took from his opponents on his back.
!Conquedor
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Conquedor2_225px_897.png
-->''Voiced by: JonPolito''
A merchant slaver and trafficker who captures Ro-Bear Bill's family. He captures and sells all sorts of things, from Berbils to [[MythologyGag large cats]]. [[KickTheDog Making him the ultimate scumbag]].
----
!!Tropes associated with the Conquedor
* {{BFG}}: His rifle is ''HUGE!''
* CoolHelmet: Wears a modified conquistador's morion.
* EgomaniacHunter: Which could possibly make him an...
* {{Expy}}: Of Safari Joe from the original series.
* FatBastard: Rather corpulent, rather cruel.
* HighClassGlass: He wears what look like infrared googles.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: Or whatever the heck he is.
!Ratar-O
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rataro_6961.png
-->''Voiced by: CarloRota''
Tyranical ruler of the Rats in Mount Plun-Darr and the descendant of Ratilla. He enslaved the cats, forcing them to work in the mines and search for the Sword of Plun-Darr.
----
!!Tropes associated with Ratar-O:
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The leader of the rats proves to be a rather capable fighter when Lion-O faces him, with the two of them being rather evenly matched.
* BadassMustache: Has styled his whiskers into a rather refined-looking mustache, akin to what you'd find in an imperial Chinese court.
* BadBoss: His treatment of his direct subordinate certainly won't be winning him any prizes for "Boss of the Year," will it? [[spoiler:[[TheDogBitesBack It comes back to bite him big-time when said subordinate decides to side with Lion-O by throwing him his sword and gauntlet. ]] ]]
* DualWielding: Ratar-O uses the twin Rat Eye Daggers, which are able to shoot charged energy bolts when crossed.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Acts refined and sophisticated, but is as brutal as any other villain. Which leads right into him being a...
* FatBastard
* JerkassHasAPoint: He's a villain and a tyrant, make no mistake. But considering what we knew of Thundera's FantasticRacism towards the lizards, his claim that the cats didn't want to share similar power with other races (hence why they sent Jaga to reclaim the Sword of Plun-Darr from Ratilla) may have more weight to it than we know...
* KickTheDog: When two cat slaves overpower his underling and try to make a run for it, he chases them into a dead end, taunts them for their failure, and unleashes a single blast of energy from his crossed daggers. Then he walks away with a wicked chuckle. [[GoryDiscretionShot We don't actually see the aftermath,]] but it's pretty clear what just happened.
* KnifeNut: Those twin daggers of his are rather large and ornate to be simple knives, but they come close enough.
* LargeAndInCharge: Assuming that paunch isn't just padding from the armor, Ratar-O has a belly on him. He's noticeably taller than his men. And he's [[IncrediblyLamePun the big cheese]]. Yeah, this applies.
* MythologyGag: His design is very close to how he looked in the original series, but closer inspection shows that he actually looks more like the original Ratilla, at least in terms of costume design.
* OhCrap: Gets one of these [[spoiler: when Lion-O gets his sword and gauntlet back, courtesy of TheDogBitesBack.]]
** And another one when [[spoiler: Lion-O's gauntlet generates an energy field to harness the blast from his Rat Eye Daggers, allowing Lion-O to reflect that power right back at him.]]
* ShadowArchetype: Like Lion-O, he's the leader of his people, has claim to an ancestral weapon (the Sword of Plun-Darr to Lion-O's Sword of Omens), and wields an enchanted blade (his Rat's Eye Daggers). However, where Lion-O is a noble leader who respects his team as friends, Ratar-O is a harsh tyrant who berates his servants (Mordax, in particular) for so much as speaking out of turn.
* [[spoiler:TennisBoss: Worth mentioning, as the way Lion-O ultimately defeats him is by using his gauntlet to block and absorb the energy from Ratar-O's twin energy daggers...[[HoistByHisOwnPetard and throw it right back in his face.]] ]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Claims that his motivation for all his cruel deeds--enslaving the cats and having them mine a dangerous cave for the Sword of Plun-Darr--was that he can lead his people to glory, no longer living off the scraps of the cats or any of the other races. [[spoiler:Except, as Lion-O himself puts it, his people "are just slaves on the other side of the whip."]]
* WickedCultured: As mentioned under FauxAffablyEvil, he generally acts like quite the cultured nobleman.
!Mordax
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mordax_3359.jpg
-->''Voiced by: KevinMichaelRichardson''
Rataro's underling, who must constantly suffer his abuse.
----
!!Tropes associated with Mordax:
* TheDogBitesBack: See ScrewThisImOuttaHere. [[spoiler:Oh, and he also kicked Lion-O's sword and gauntlet back to him, thereby ensuring that Lion-O would have a fighting chance against his abusive master.]]
* EvilOldFolks: Something of an aversion, as he claims he was JustFollowingOrders to whip a cat-slave when Pumyra attacks him. [[spoiler:In a much more clear aversion, he performs a ScrewThisImOuttaHere on Ratar-o [[TheDogBitesBack and throws Lion-O his sword and gauntlet.]]]]
* EyepatchOfPower: Averted somewhat; he's never shown to be a very capable fighter.
* GigglingVillain: [[spoiler:Averted, his only menacing snicker really comes when he turns on his boss by throwing Lion-O his weapons.]]
* JustFollowingOrders: He pulls this excuse when Pumyra attacks him for whipping one of the cat-slaves. She doesn't take it well.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: Smaller than just about everyone, making it easier for Ratar-O to abuse him.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He abandons Ratar-O after suffering under his abuse and being shown mercy by Lion-O.
* UngratefulBastard: Lion-O just saved him from a wrathful Pumyra. How does the little creep show his gratitude? By pulling a scythe on Lion-O, forcing him, Pumyra, and Panthro to surrender. [[spoiler: Ultimately averted, as he ends up turning against Ratar-O ''because'' Lion-O showed him more mercy ([[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe and therefore, kindness]]) than the leader of his own kind ever did.]]
