History WesternAnimation / ArabianKnights

* TheChick: Unusually, this role is filled by Prince Turhan, not by his cousin Princess Nida. Prince Turhan is the emotional and spiritual center of the group, the person who gives the others the courage or hope to unlock their true potential -- and as TheChick, he's also the person most likely to be captured and in need of rescue by his companions. In general, Princess Nida rescues Prince Turhan rather than the reverse (although they often take turns rescuing each other).

%%* TheHeart: Prince Turhan when he's not being TheChick.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: When Zazoom's tail is pulled, he goes into a spin. Anything that can withstand Raseem or Bez wouldn't stand a chance against Zazoom's tornado spin.

%%* IneptMage: Most episodes, Fariq continually alternates between this and a highly competent EthnicMagician with a touch of SimSimSalabim. Simply pulling down his turban over his eyes is usually enough to disrupt his spellcasting.

%%* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Both Prince Turhan and Princess Nida, particularly in the earlier episodes before their royal backgrounds disappear into background story.

%%* VoluntaryShapeshifting: This is Bez's power. Preceded by his MadLibsCatchPhrase, "Size of a <name of animal>!", which changed not only his size but his shape. It's also ''one'' of Fariq's powers.

In this segment of ''WesternAnimation/TheBananaSplits Adventure Hour'', a FiveManBand of heroes fights evil in pre-Islamic Persia (Baghdad is frequently referenced), as Prince Turhan seeks to regain his throne from [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Bakar and Vangore]]. Aiding the prince are Fariq, a spell caster; Raseem, a man of great strength; Bez, who can transform himself into any animal; Princess Nida, a master of disguise, and Zazoom, a [[PersonOfMassDestruction donkey of mass destruction]].

* ActionGirl: Princess Nida.
* {{Adventure}}: In the Creator/HannaBarbera mold no less!
* ArabianNightsDays: The setting of the cartoon.
* BerserkButton: Do not pull Zazoom's tail! (Although he ''never'' bleats about the results.)
* TheBigGuy: Raseem, though he does tend toward DumbMuscle sometimes.
* ChaseScene: On FlyingCarpet s no less!

* CityOfGold[=/=]TreasureIsBiggerInFiction: Baghdad seemed to be overflowing with sapphires and rubies the size of your fist.
* CombatParkour: This is Prince Turhan's speciality.
* TheDragon: Vangor is this for Bakar.
* EasyAmnesia: Fariq had this in the episode "The Coronation of Bakaar".
* FlyingCarpet: Often used by the heroes. Fariq could even create one out of Raseem's sash. Towards the end of the series, these have become common enough that Vangor's men will use them as vehicles to chase our heroes.
* TheHeart: Prince Turhan when he's not being TheChick.
* HollywoodTorches: The heroes often carried these when exploring caves.
* ImposterForgotOneDetail: "The Spy." Zazoom's habits clearly weren't factored into the ShapeShifter's infiltration of the Knights' quarters.
* IneptMage: Most episodes, Fariq continually alternates between this and a highly competent EthnicMagician with a touch of SimSimSalabim. Simply pulling down his turban over his eyes is usually enough to disrupt his spellcasting.
* MasterOfDisguise: Naida, sometimes overlapping with WholesomeCrossdresser. Turhan isn't above using it himself.
* NeverBareheaded: Only Turhan and Naida avert this trope.
* [[PersonOfMassDestruction Pet of Mass Destruction]]: When Zazoom's tail is pulled, he goes into a spin. Anything that can withstand Raseem or Bez wouldn't stand a chance against Zazoom's tornado spin.
* PutTheirHeadsTogether: "The Great Gold Robbery." Raseem takes down two of Bakaar's thugs this way.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Both Prince Turhan and Princess Nida, particularly in the earlier episodes before their royal backgrounds disappear into background story.

* SuperBreath and SuperStrength: Raseem had both of these abilities.
* TapOnTheHead: The usual fate for mooks and other bad guys during battle against the Knights.
* TeamPet: Zazoom.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: This is Bez's power. Preceded by his MadLibsCatchPhrase, "Size of a <name of animal>!", which changed not only his size but his shape. It's also ''one'' of Fariq's powers.

* {{Adventure}}: In the HannaBarbera mold no less!
