* DittoFighter: Several fighters give Kham serious trouble until he adopts their manner of fighting;
** The capoeira fighter, with agile spinning kicks and ground work.
** The wushu fighter, by weilding weapons of his own.

** The [[GiantMook giant mooks]], by augmenting the power of his fists with [[spoiler: elephant bones]].

* UnskilledButStrong: The giant wrestlers in the final battle, as well as TK. Being wrestlers they tend to focus on tossing Kham around rather than trading blows. That being said, TK makes his entrance by smashing through a door, and one of the wrestlers picks up Kern, a baby elephant, and throws him like a sack of potatoes.
