| 1 | 1,300 years after dragons disappeared into the Hidden World, a massive fissure is opened up by a passing comet. In order to study the fissure an international group of scientists known as Rakke Corp built a geological research station known as I.C.A.R.I.S. These are its residents. |

| 8 | * BreakupMakeupScenario: At the end of the fourth episode of Season 7, [[spoiler: the team disbands after rising tensions throughout the episode boil over almost resulting in their home being destroyed. The rest of the season sees them slowly growing together again until they reunite in the finale each vowing to do better and to not bottle up their emotions anymore.]] |
| 9 | * DragonRider: Having befriended a dragon and riding it is pretty much a requirement to truely be part of the Dragon Club. |
| 10 | * FiveManBand: Each member of the Dragon Club has a distinct role: |
| 11 | ** TheLeader: Tom has fallen into this role to varying degrees of success. |
| 12 | ** TheLancer: SixthRanger Eugene quickly settles into that role, constantly criticizing Tom and reminding him of his mistakes. |
| 13 | ** TheMedic: D'Angelo is a very skilled vet, even opening up his own dragon hospital in Season 7. |
| 14 | ** TheSmartGuy is shared between Jun and Alex: |
| 15 | *** Jun is the BadassBookworm. Since in-universe, [[OneMythToExplainThemAll the Hidden World forms the basis for a lot of myths around the world,]] Jun's knowledge about mythology has often come in handy. |
| 16 | *** Alex is a TechnoWizard who is very good with technology both in terms of programming it and [[PlayfulHacker hacking it.]] |
| 17 | * FreeRangeChildren: While they're technically confined to I.C.A.R.U.S., the Dragon Club is free to explore the increasingly hostile Hidden World with their parents none the wiser. After the adults learn the existence of dragons and the Hidden World, the kids are still allowed to explore and study both, though admittedly, it's because the kids have an easier time getting the dragons to listen. There is still a limit to this, as the kids hid the existence of the adult man with a dragon mount and a pyromaniacal streak a mile wide, something the adults were very unhappy to learn about. |
| 18 | * GroupHug: At the end of show, the riders embrace in a group hug [[spoiler:before leaving Rakke Town for good, going their separate ways.]] |
| 19 | * InterspeciesFriendship: The human Riders and their dragons. |
| 20 | * NoFlowInCGI: |
| 21 | ** Played straight with the clothes. While the other riders wear seemingly tight clothes, Tom and D'Angelo wear open vests which still tend to stick to their bodies rather than following real life physics. |
| 22 | ** Played with in regards to the hair. While the other riders have short or compact hair, buns, braids or use a lot of hair gel to make their hair remain in place, Tom's hair, despite being the shortest, is completely unrestrained and has a tendency to flow freely. |
| 23 | * SecretKeeper: They vow to keep the Hidden World and dragons a secret from the rest of human kind fearing some humans may try to misuse them. |

| 27 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JeremyShada |
| 28 | The first one to find the dragons and the leader of the group, Tom is adventurous and daring and always willing to help others. |
| 29 | ---- |
| 30 | * AmicableExes: [[spoiler:With Jun. During their BreakUpMeakUpScenario, the two still remain close, be it with more awkwardness attached.]] |
| 31 | * AncestorVeneration: Is very proud of his viking ancestry. |
| 32 | * BadassNormal: A teenager who fought dangerous dragons, even without his own. |
| 33 | * TheBigDamnKiss: [[spoiler:After defeating Jörmungadr, Tom thanks Jun for always being there for him and having his back. In responds, Jun tells him it seems she has to be his brains and kisses him.]] |
| 34 | * BreakupMakeupScenario: [[spoiler: Jun breaks up with him at the end of the first episode of Season 8. Throughout the season, they are shown to clearly still have feelings for one another. In the finale, they get back together.]] |
| 35 | * CannotSpitItOut: During "Hearts of Heroes", when he and Jun are stuck under a tree, their only choice is to escape with the help of some mole rat-like dragons. But to bond with them, they have to resolve their conflict first aka telling the other they are in love with them. However, every time they try, they both get anxious and stumble over their words. It's not until Buzzsaw nearly cuts down the tree they are in before they can share their feelings. |
| 36 | * CharacterDevelopment: In Episode 2 of Season 4, Tom's stubborn believe to find the key to a canister in the Ice Realm results in him ignoring the signs of an oncoming snow storm putting his and his friends lifes at risk over a mere hunch. Once the storm hits, the group is seperated from Web Master and Feathers and have to leave them behind, much to the objection of their Riders. Come the next episode where Jun [[{{OutOfCharacterMoment}} stubbornly takes a myth too serious]] which would result in them entering potential mortal danger and he acts a lot more cautious and hesitent to act on her hunch. |
| 37 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: He has a tendency to help others even when doing so carries a high risk to his life. [[spoiler: This eventually causes Jun to break up with him.]] |
| 38 | * ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Of Hiccup: While they have their similarities, they also have a number of noticeable differences: Whereas Hiccup is a natural leader, Tom struggles in his new role and sometimes falls back into his old ways of doing everything alone. Further, where Hiccup is cautious and strategic, Tom is impulsive and reckless. Lastly, while Hiccup is a GadgeteerGenius and master strategist, Tom is of average intelligence with crazy plans that not always work. Lampshaded by Jun: |
| 39 | ---> '''Jun (to Tom):''' From what I've read in the dragon book, Hiccup was a thinker. An inventor and a master strategist. You're right. It's not you. |
| 40 | * DeathGlare: Gives one to Eugene after discovering him mockingly imitating his attempts to figure out [[spoiler:Valka's]] staff. |
| 41 | * DidNotThinkThisThrough: His FatalFlaw. He can be impulsive and will sometimes break the rules without giving his actions much thought. |
| 42 | * DisappearedDad: During an argument with D'Angelo, the latter mentions that Tom's father [[ParentalAbandonment took off and left him and his mother]]. |
| 43 | * FatalFlaw: His impulsiveness and recklessness has resulted in him going off alone and getting into big trouble numerous times. |
| 44 | * GenerationXerox: It's [[AmbiguouslyRelated implied]] that Tom is a descendant of Hiccup and Astrid and thus his partnership with a "Fury" type dragon is a bit of a reflection of his possible ancestor. [[spoiler: This is later confirmed in Season 5.]] |
| 45 | * HarmlessElectrocution: Can channel lightning through his sword. Like Thunder's lightning, it's non-lethal. |
| 46 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Has one in the first episode of season 6: A month after he and the other Riders revealed the existence of dragons to the adults, his life has become a lot more stressful since everyone comes to him alone with their dragon-related problems. After heading down the Fissure alone with Thunder to investigate the cause of why so many dragons keep fleeing to the surface, declining his friend's offers to help him, he ends up in a tight spot surrounded by hostile Deadly Nadder's and Thunder being injured. This causes him to suffer a mental breakdown.]] |
| 47 | ** [[spoiler: He continues to have more after each plan to take down Jörmungandr fails.]] |
| 48 | * HeroesPreferSwords: Fights with a sword that can channel and redirect lightning. |
| 49 | * ItsAllMyFault: Frequently invokes this trope. [[KickTheDog Eugen tends to readily agree.]] |
| 50 | * TheLeader: Tom is the leader of the Dragon Club. Though his many missteps are a point of tension during the second half of Season 7. |
| 51 | * LineageComesFromTheFather: [[spoiler:Inverted as Tom is related to Astrid and Hiccup through his mother whose great-grandfather was a Haddok.]] |
| 52 | * LuredIntoATrap: In the sixth episode of season 6, [[spoiler:Buzzsaw lures Tom into a trap by offering him the antidote to the poison he inflicted Thunder with in exchange for the Book of Dragons. Tom keeps his end of the bargain. Buzzsaw then reveals that ThereIsNoCure and has his henchmen capture Tom.]] |
| 53 | * NoFlowInCGI: |
| 54 | ** Averted with Tom's hair. Despite being the shortest, it is completely unrestrained and has a tendency to flow freely. |
| 55 | ** Played straight with his clothes: Despite wearing an open vest, it usually sticks to his body rather than following real life physics. This is rather noticeable when taking the above in o account. The likely reason his hair is so lovingly animated as often as it is is due to the direct action that Tom frequently gets in. And yet that doesn't extend to showing his open vest flowing as freely as his hair in the same action scenarios. |
| 56 | * OhCrap: [[spoiler: When he finds his mom waiting for him in the Dragon Club's cave.]] |
| 57 | * ParentChildTeam: Before coming to Project I.C.A.R.U.S., he used to be this with his mom. |
| 58 | * ThePowerOfFamily: You can tell that he and his mom mean the world to each other just by watching the first episode. It's not the last time this is shown. |
| 59 | * OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: As of the second episode of Season 7, he and Jun are dating. However, as they start spending more time with each other than their friends, it creates tensions.]] |
| 60 | * SharedFamilyQuirks: [[spoiler: A lampshaded example. When Jun tells Tom about who Astrid was, she tells him she was a fearless warrior who used action rather than ideas, not unlike Tom.]] |
| 61 | ** The way he acts when he lies is quite similar to his mom [[spoiler:and reminiscent of Hiccup.]] |
| 62 | * ShipTease: With Jun. [[spoiler: He even has a brief DistractedByTheSexy moment in season 6. They end up becoming an OfficialCouple in the second episode of season 7.]] |
| 63 | * SingleLineOfDescent: Tom and Olivia are the only known descendants [[spoiler:of Hiccup's and Astrid's line.]] |
| 64 | * StargazingScene: [[spoiler:The end credits show a scene of him and Jun on a date stargazing.]] |
| 65 | * TokenWhite: The rest of his team are of Chinese, African-American, and Hispanic descent. |
| 66 | * WhiteMaleLead: The Norse leader of the Dragon Club, Tom is additionally blond-haired and blue-eyed. |

| 73 | A clever and spiritual girl, Jun has an interest in all things mystical and occult. |
| 74 | ---- |
| 75 | * AgentMulder: She believes in a lot of mysticism like gemology, tarot, and legendary creatures, so she is [[JumpedAtTheCall very eager and overjoyed]] to learn that dragons are real. She draws connections between them and various dragon myths from across the world and further makes comparisons between a species and other mythological creatures they resemble, like unicorns or zombies. |
| 76 | * AmicableExes: [[spoiler:With Tom. During their BreakUpMeakUpScenario, the two still remain close, be it with more awkwardness attached.]] |
| 77 | * ArchaicWeaponForAnAdvancedAge: While exploring the Fire Realm she finds [[spoiler: Hiccup's shield and starts using it.]] |
| 78 | * BadassBookworm: She is quite knowledgeable about myths and legends and able to bring up relevant tales from cultures across the world. She uses this knowledge to solve some of the group's challenges, and invents new moves - see the Circle of Protection in Video Examples. |
| 79 | * TheBigDamnKiss: [[spoiler:After defeating Jörmungadr, Tom thanks Jun for always being there for him and having his back. In responds, Jun tells him it seems she has to be his brains and kisses him.]] |
| 80 | * BrainsAndBrawn: Invoked by Jun in the finale when she tells Tom it seems she has to be his brains. |

| 83 | %%* {{Expy}}: Of Astrid. Well, Played with. Both are the first people to find out about the protagonist's secret and tend to be their most trusted friend and confidant. Not to mention the [[{{ShipTease}} relationship with the protagonists]]. And while not as skilled as Astrid, Jun has proven that she can hold her own in a fight as well. However, that's where their similarities end. Aside from their dragons, hobbies, gap in fighting skill and different ethnicities, Jun has been shown to be not as strong-willed as Astrid. She also lacks Astrid's BloodKnight tendencies. Further, while Jun and Tom were friends before the series started, Hiccup was [[{{AllOfTheOtherReindeer}} looked down upon by the other kids, including Astrid,]] at the start of the first movie for being physically weak. |
| 84 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Responsible Sibling to Eugene's foolish Sibling. |
| 85 | * OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: As of the second episode of Season 7, she and Tom are dating. However, as they start spending more time with each other than their friends, it creates tensions.]] |

| 96 | [[quoteright:398:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3dangelo.jpg]] |
| 97 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MarcusScribner |
| 98 | |
| 99 | Caring and brave, D'Angelo is a stickler for the rules but is willing to break them when necessary. As he comes into his own throughout the adventures and dangers he and his fellow Dragon Riders face, D'Angelo must also come to terms with the expectations others place on him, and what he intends to do about managing, or perhaps breaking, said expectations. |
| 100 | ---- |
| 101 | * AndroclesLion: How he and Plowhorn first begin to bond. D'Angelo removes the crystal shard stuck in Plowhorn's shell that was keeping her grounded, showing that he meant no harm to her in the process. |
| 102 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Even the generally calm, level-headed, and patient D'Angelo has finite limits to said patience. |
| 103 | * CallingTheOldManOut: Season 7's first episode, "Hobs and Saw", finally puts a direct spotlight on D'Angelo and the issues he's been having with his father that had been largely confined to the background or brief acknowledgements previously. During the climax, not only does D'Angelo make it clear that said climax is only occurring because Philip kicked out an injured Hobs, making him easy prey for the Speed Stinger that they later find cornering the Hobgobbler, but D'Angelo also makes it known, in no uncertain terms, that he doesn't care what his father thinks about what he wants to do with his life. D'Angelo lets Philip know that he won't be made to think of himself less than because he intends to become an animal veterinarian and not follow in his military father's footsteps, and that he is no less honorable for having made that life choice. |
| 104 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: It isn't dwelt on directly beyond the scene D'Angelo brings it up in, but based on his disappointed and disapproving tone when he explains to the group sans Tom, it's evident that D'Angelo didn't appreciate his father going over his (D'Angelo's) head whenever he had an issue with Plowhorn, opting to consult Tom about it, instead. |
| 105 | ** In a later episode, he goes through this a little more openly, this time regarding his dad not respecting his skills and capabilities as a veterinarian, including for dragons, and his wishes to follow a path that isn't military or security. |
| 106 | * TheMedic: He has some veterinarian knowledge, which helps out when a dragon gets injured. At the start of season 7, he opens a hospital wing specifically for dragons. But as he spends more and more time there than with his friends, it becomes a point of tension, both for said friends and for his father. |
| 107 | * MilitaryBrat: He's referred to as such in some interviews and official materials. His father, Chief Philip Baker, is the facility's head of security and former military who impresses military-style discipline onto D'Angelo. |
| 108 | ** Much of the tension and conflict D'Angelo faces is with the expectations his father instills and his own desires and capabilities. Part of that includes not intending on following his father's military legacy. |
| 109 | * TheNoseKnows: In the first episode of the 2nd season, he notices a sneaker in the trash and questions who would put it in the trash. After sniffing it, he realizes it is Linda’s shoe. |
| 110 | * ParentsAreWrong: The crux of the plot of "Hobs and Saw" sees D'Angelo gaining the courage he needs to openly follow his convictions and prove that his father, Chief Philip Baker, is wrong. Wrong in his bullheaded anti-dragon attitude and Rakke Town policies ''and'' wrong in his controlling and expecting attitude regarding what's best for D'Angelo and what D'Angelo "should do" with his future. By the end of the episode, he succeeds in doing this. |
| 111 | * PuppyDogEyes: In the first episode of Season 7, "Hobs and Saw", D'Angelo and his mom use theirs to convince Chief Baker to let a wounded Hobgobbler stay in their house. |
| 112 | * OnlySaneMan: Can frequently come across as this, especially in light of the idiosyncrasies of his fellow Dragon Riders. |
| 113 | * TeamDad: D'Angelo's penchant for level-headedness tends to see himself unintentionally slotted into this role. |
| 114 | ** The show in general makes overtures of deconstructing this Trope for D'Angelo, since because he's often slotted into being [[TheReliableOne the reliable]] TeamDad for his fellow Dragon Riders, his own needs, desires, and short and long-term issues will often go unaddressed or inadequately addressed. "Hobs and Saw" makes for one of the biggest examples of this. |
| 115 | * WellDoneSonGuy: D'Angelo has had this plot point in the background as part of his general characterization for most of his time on the show. But outside of occasional allusions and mentions, it isn't until the first episode of Season 7, "Hobs and Saw", where this plot point is truly given center stage, ultimately leading to it getting addressed and D'Angelo overcoming this Trope. |

| 125 | * DeadpanSnarker: After giving up being TheShutIn, she becomes more sassy and outspoken. However, her sass becomes a point of tension during the second half of Season 7. |
| 126 | * TheEeyore: She tends to look on the dark side of most situations, and often expects the worst to happen. |
| 127 | * FakeDefector: She spends the 6th episode of Season 7 pretending to have left the Dragon Riders and wanting to help Buzzsaw in order to get the Book of Dragons. She even [[ShootYourMate has Feathers attack the other Riders]] when they come to save her. |
| 128 | * NoFlowInCGI: Averted. Her braids tend to follow real life physics rather than stick to her head or back. |
| 129 | * PlayfulHacker: She is very good at hacking into the station's cameras and security devices. She has zero malicious intent and does this in order to learn what's going on around the station since she initially doesn't like to leave her room. |
| 130 | * ShrinkingViolet: She is initially very quiet and shy, preferring to spend time in her room in front of her computer. |
| 131 | * TheShutIn: Initially doesn't like to go outside due to a traumatic experience from a very young age where a stray dog she tried befriending suddenly bit her. Now she fears the risk of being hurt by anything. |

| 140 | ---- |
| 141 | * AffectionHatingKid: After their RelationshipUpgrade, whenever Tom and Jun openly show their affection for one another, Eugene pretends as if he were about to vomit out of disgust. |
| 142 | * AscendedExtra: Originally a recurring minor antagonist in Season 2, he becomes a Rider midway through Season 3. As such, he has appeared and played a part in every episode since. |
| 143 | * BigBrotherInstinct: When they are stuck in the Deadly Spinner cave, seeing Jun freaking out results in this kicking in. |
| 144 | * BondCreatures: At the beginning of Season 6 episode "Webs' Master", Eugene boasts to the other Dragon Riders that his and Web Master's Rider/Dragon bond is the strongest. While it comes off that he's being forceful at first, by the end the episode [[spoiler: after he successfully helps Web Master break free from a sting-induced spell of MindControl,]] he's made strides in proving his earlier boastful claim to be truer than it otherwise seemed. He's also more natural and open with his bond with Web Master than he had been at the start, eschewing the forced {{Secret Handshake}}s he'd been trying to go for with Web Master for a sense of intimate knowing instead. |
| 145 | * {{Delinquents}}: He's established early as having a history of flaunting authority. It's highly suggested he's only at the Rakke facility because he screwed up at every other school he's been to. |
| 146 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Foolish Sibling to Jun's Responsible Sibling. |
| 147 | * FriendlessBackground: Eugene reveals to Webmaster in "Webs Master" that the dragon is his only real friend. |
| 148 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: His obnoxiously cocky attitude doesn't endear him to the group, compounded by the fact that they are only forced to include him because he knows their secret. That being said, he does bond with Alex over their shared concern when their dragons were endangered. He takes some of the effort of being the main dissenter in the group off her. |
| 149 | * HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:He's shown playing chess with Alex in the finale credits.]] |
| 150 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: Eugene explains that he believed in the Dragon Riders since he wanted to be part of something special no one can take away and he found that in being a member of the Dragon Club. |
| 151 | * IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: During the Season 6 episode "Webs' Master", Eugene [[spoiler: pulls a variation of this to bring Web Master back to his senses from the Death Gripper's MindControl sting. Since he can't really fight against dragons, he lays his heart and soul bear to Web Master. And through the PowerOfFriendship and the PowerOfLove, Eugene breaks through the mind control.]] |
| 152 | * JerkassHasAPoint: The ever-increasing occasions were he makes correct observations tend to be overlooked because of his general attitude. Also overlaps with DumbassHasAPoint where Jun is concerned, since she tends to take digs at Eugene's intelligence even when he's in the right about something. |
| 153 | ** Not all of Eugene's criticisms of Tom are backed by a need for him to flatter his own ego by implying he should be leader. His acerbic and oft obnoxious ways of putting it in mind, there's a level of genuineness to Eugene's mounting criticisms and complaints of Tom's leadership of their group, as well as the lengths the other riders are expected to go with being understanding, forgiving, and accommodating towards Tom and his circumstances and screw-ups. As Eugene laments at the end of the events of "Dragons Everywhere": |
| 154 | ---> '''Eugene:''' Wait, we're ''forgiving him''? How many free passes does this group hand out?! |
| 155 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: |
| 156 | ** Despite his usual attitude, he openly shows his affection for his dragon, Web Master. |
| 157 | ** Despite their constant bickering, he does greatly care for his younger sister Jun. When they are stuck in the Deadly Spinner cave, seeing Jun freaking out results in his [[{{BigBrotherInstinct}} Big Brother Instincts]] kicking it. Further, in season 6, [[spoiler: when they are trapped in a cave and slowly suffocating, Jun asks him whether he has any last insults. He says he doesn't and they share a moment of mutual respect.]] |
| 158 | ** He develops an actual respect for and friendship with Alex, even calling her his best non-dragon friend. |
| 159 | ** While he will vocally complain when the Riders do something altruistic, he will go along with it without a second thought. |
| 160 | ** In the season 7 finale, it's revealed he truly does believe in the Dragon Riders as a team. |
| 161 | * KickTheDog: Loves to remind the others, especially Tom, of their mistakes, which usually results in the person who made the mistake feeling worse to no constructive benefit. [[{{TheFriendNobodyLikes}} The other Riders usually voice their disapproval of this.]] |
| 162 | * TheLancer: The role he settles into is the cocky one constantly belittling Tom's leadership and suggesting he should be made leader. |
| 163 | * LeaderWannabe: As mentioned above in how he fits in as TheLancer. Much of his [[JerkassHasAPoint complaints and criticisms of Tom's leadership]] that would otherwise hold more water/be taken more at face value is stymied by his own ego-centric beliefs that ''he'' should be leading the group. Even though in practice, he seems to fit being TheLancer to whoever is leading better than he would actually trying to lead himself. |
| 164 | ** In the fifth episode of season 7, he creates his own team of Riders with himself as TheLeader. It doesn't last long. |
| 165 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: Despite acting like an idiot, Eugene helps Jun realize that she isn’t different from their mom. |
| 166 | * OnlyFriend: [[WhatYouAreInTheDark In a moment of candid vulnerability]], Eugene admits that he doesn't have a bunch of friends the world over like he claims he does. And that truth be told, Web Master is Eugene's only real friend. [[spoiler: It's enough to free Web Master from the MindControl he was suffering from]]. |
| 167 | * OnlySaneMan: Occasionally how his JerkassHasAPoint moments manifests. When he's like this, he also takes the heat off of Alex being the main dissenter of the group. |
| 168 | * PetTheDog: After returning home from [[spoiler:their failed attempt at capturing Jörmungandr,]] Eugene is ready to lay the blame for [[spoiler:the failure]] on Tom. But seeing how saddened he is, Eugene instead acknowledges he did his best. |
| 169 | * PowerOfFriendship[=/=]PowerOfLove: This is how Eugene [[spoiler:frees Web Master from the effects of the Death Gripper's MindControl sting in "Webs' Master".]] |
| 170 | * RightBehindMe: When Eugene makes fun of Tom's attempts to figure out how to work [[spoiler:Valka's]] staff by mockingly imitating him, Jun asks Eugene whether he knows Tom can see him. Eugene turns around to Tom standing behind him giving him a DeathGlare. A minor OhCrap moment ensues before Eugene [[BrutalHonesty straight up tells him he was mocking him.]] |
| 171 | * SeamlessSpontaneousLie: The main skill he brings to the group is coming up with on-the-spot lies to cover up any slip-ups in their secret from any adults. Clearly from experience. |
| 172 | * SixthRanger: He ends up joining the dragon riding team by Season 3. He even gets his own dragon too. |
| 173 | * TheStarscream: Subverted. He may talk ''a lot'' about wanting to usurp Tom as TheLeader but he never seems genuine or tries anything beyond criticizing him any chance he gets. |

| 251 | * LineageComesFromTheFather: [[spoiler:Implied to be an Inverted example. Since she specifically called out her great-grandfather as a Haddok rather than any of her grandparents or parents, it's likely her great-grandfather only had daughters resulting in the name being lost.

| 252 | * NoFlowInCGI: Averted. Her long hair tends to follow real life physics rather than stick to her head. |

| 401 | * WouldHurtAChild: Without a second thought such as when, [[spoiler: after capturing him, he wanted to hit Tom with a poison dart that had previously put Thunder into critical condition, just to see how the poison would affect a human.]] |

| 410 | ---- |
| 411 | * AntiVillain: They are just two normal guys who just happen to work for a lunatic. |
| 412 | ** As of Season 7, however, this has changed, examplified when they actively [[WouldHurtAChild try to kill Tom]] even without Buzzsaw around and are grinning maliciously while doing so. |
| 413 | * ArchaicWeaponForAnAdvancedAge: At the start of Season 7, they use crossbows against the Riders. |
| 414 | * ButtMonkey: They are frequently defeated and sometimes even captured by the Riders making them seem quite inept and non-threatening. Buzzsaw is even aware of this: |
| 415 | ---> '''Winston:''' You can count on us! |
| 416 | ---> '''Buzzsaw:''' Not really! But do it anyway. |
| 417 | * CapturedOnPurpose: In their final appearance, after being unable to prevent the riders from stealing Buzzsaw's ballista, Ford and Winston let themself be taken captive by the heroes in order to avoid facing Buzzsaw's wrath. |
| 418 | * DragonRider: Both ride on Gronckles they captured. As there is no bond between the dragons and their Riders, however, the Gronckles escape every chance they get. |
| 419 | * ForcedIntoEvil: They are not inherently evil but rather are forced into villainy by their boss. Though they do gradually become more villainous such as when they actively [[WouldHurtAChild try to kill Tom]] while grinning maliciously. |
| 420 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: After surrendering to the riders in episode 3 of season 8, Ford and Winston remain absent and unmentioned for the rest of the series.]] |
| 421 | * WouldHurtAChild: While shooting arrows at Tom, Ford shoots one arrow right at his head grinning. If Thunder wouldn't have destroyed it, it would have killed Tom. |
