History WesternAnimation / CreepyCrawlers

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the second season the regular goopmandos are joined by new heroes twice, but both disappear between episodes.

* MakerOfMonsters: Professor Googengrim uses the Magic Maker to create the Crime-Grimes that help him in his schemes, usually using a recipe held by his assistant to get the type of monster he needs. Notable in that the same machine was also responsible for the creation of the heroic Goop-Mandos, but Googengrime stole it from the hero.

* AlliterativeTitle

* TheDragon: Spooky Goopy.

* GratuitousNinja: The idea with Commantis.

* MonsterOfTheWeek: A lot of the Crime Grimes were essentially this, although the show wasn't adverse to reusing the same monsters either.

* BigBad: Professor Googengrime.
* BigEater: Tick-Trick-Tick (T-3 for short!)

* MerchandiseDriven: ''Creepy Crawlers'' is an unusual example. On the one hand, the show is an advertisement for the Creepy Crawlers Thingmaker (the show's "Magic Maker" IS the Thingmaker), but on the other hand, the show had its own action figure line, with no connection to the actual toy.
** Some of the toys came with a mold for the oven to make accessories for the figures.

* TeenageMutantSamuraiWombats: They don't match any actual animals but fit the trope to a t.

* 11thHourSuperpower: In the first season finale Chris uses a special super-goop to temporarily supercharge the Goopmandos enough to take on Googengrime's whole army of Crime Grime. Somewhat ironically in the first episode of the second season something similar happens but the power-up from ''that'' turns out to be permanent.

''Creepy Crawlers'' was an animated series by Saban Entertainment that ran from 1994 to 1995. It was loosely based on a toy line that revolved around molding plastic into insects. The show was about a boy named Chris Carter. He spends his days working in a magic shop run by Professor Googenrime, an old magician who wishes to gain true magic powers to get back at the magicians that laughed at him. Chris experiments with a Magic Maker to help with business, but accidentally creates insectoid heroes called the Goop-Mandos (Hocus Locust, Tick-Trick-Tick, and Volt Jolt). Googengrime, however, takes the Magic Maker and uses it to create horrible creatures called Crime Grimes. Chris teams up with the Goop-Mandos to foil Googengrime's schemes in every episode. During the course of the show, a few other Goop-Mandos joined: Sting Ring, Commantis, T-4, and Fire Eyes.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: The idea with Commantis.

* HourOfPower: The Goop-mandos' powers came from a bulb full of slime in their stomachs. When it had all dripped to the bottom, they were powerless had to hang upside down and let it drip to the top again to get their powers back. It became less of a problem as the series played out and they presumably learned to avoid it.

* NamesTheSame: [[TheXFiles Chris Carter]].
