3Characters that appear during Archer's dream in Season 9, Archer Danger Island. Since Season 9 is set within an Alternate Reality from the previous seasons, every character can be considered a separate entity from their real-world selves.

6
7[[folder:Sterling Archer]]
8-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/HJonBenjamin
9
10A pilot operating out of an island resort in the South Pacific.
11----
12* AdventuresInComaland: As in the previous season, this is the real Archer's avatar in his latest coma-induced dream.
13* TheAlcoholic: The season opens with Archer waking up after a two-day bender.
14%% Doesn't explain what the button or reaction is. * BerserkButton: Ziegler presses Archer's like no-one else.
15* CaptainCrash: Archer's history as a pilot seems to be one long string of crash landings. This reflects his real life, where even when he is in the co-pilot position he tends to do something to cause a crash.
16* CompositeCharacter: Mostly. He ''is'' Archer, plus a few elements that come from Rip Riley. The Loose Goose, Archer's plane, is also the exact make and model of Rip's seaplane, and he has a missing eye, which Rip featured near the end of Heart of Archerness.
17* DiggingHimselfDeeper: When called to be arrested for adultery it probably didn't help his case when he asked if "consensual buggery" was a crime.
18* EyepatchOfPower: This version of Archer is missing his left eye, and wears an eyepatch to cover it.
19* EyeScream: Lost his eye to a shard of flying mirror.
20* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: To save Pam and the others from Fuchs, he lets himself fall into lava with him. This "death" causes Archer to wind up in yet another strange coma dream.]]
21* LoveAtFirstSight: Like his Dreamworld counterpart with Lana, Archer becomes smitten with Princess Lanaluakalani the second he sees her.
22* MadeOfIron: This version of Archer's been through a lot of scrapes, it seems. He's been through an adventure in the Andes and dogfights over Spain (where he lost his eye), not to mention surviving a plane crash with nothing to show for it except for a few scratches and losing consciousness for an hour.

24[[/folder]]
25
26[[folder:Princess Lanaluakalani]]
27-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/AishaTyler
28
29A princess from a nearby island, and the Danger Island version of Lana Kane.
30----
31* AdaptationalWimp: Fighting off komodo dragons with a sharpened stick aside, Lanaluakani appears to possess none of the skills of Lana Kane.
32* AmbiguouslyBi: Lanaluakalani seemed to ''really'' like being in Pam's arms after she fell into them during one scene. Then she gets defensive when Pam tells her not to get any ideas. Bonus points when one remembers that their prime counterparts have slept together in previous seasons. On the other hand, she ends up having a tryst with Fuchs.
33* {{Expy}}: Of Princess Koji, the resident DragonLady of ''Series/TalesOfTheGoldMonkey.''
34* DidNotThinkThisThrough: As pointed out by her father, the fact that she gave Siegbert the map early would mean that she is probably not getting any money out of it.
35* HazyFeelTurn: Spent most of the season siding with Siegbert, but after getting told off by her father for leading him to the idol, she decides to stop Siegbert, or anybody for that matter, from getting it. While she ends up joining up Archer's group by the end of the season, it is only because she's forced to by Captaine Reynaud at gunpoint.
36* InformedFlaw: Episode 6 hints that she's a terrible painter.
37* LaResistance: She's not happy with the French occupation of her island. And she'll strike a deal with anyone (Whether a rising Nazi Germany or soon to be belligerent Imperial Japan) to get them out.
38* OnlyInItForTheMoney: While she's speaking the truth about wanting to get rid of the French, she also wants the idol because she wants to be able to resume her life as part of the cultural jet-set in America, which came to an end due to the Great Depression.
39* RaceLift: Lanaluakalani's prime counterpart is African-American, but she is the princess of a Polynesian island.

42[[folder:Charlotte Stratton, nee Vandertunt]]
43-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JudyGreer
44
45A formerly-wealthy socialite who has ended up stranded on the island after being abandoned by her husband. The Danger Island version of Cheryl Tunt.
46----
47* AGodAmI: The cannibal tribe starts worshipping her, thinking she's their godess. Charlotte slides right into the role.
48* CloudCuckooLander: Downplayed compared to most versions of Cheryl, in that she seems to have been driven insane by having been left on the island by her fiance, rather than having always been crazy. She even manages to point out the awful absurdity of being expected to charge only nine dollars for sex with strangers. Being in Archer's presence tends to make her anger/insanity go up more due to blaming him for her current predicament. She develops a god complex later in the season, causing this trope to be played more straight.
49* DefiledForever: According to her, her fling with Archer and her impending divorce from husband Whitney have made her unable to return home to New York.
50* TheDogBitesBack: After being abused and starved and being forced into prostitution by Malory, she seduces the entire German division that she was sent to sleep with (without ever actually sleeping with them) and uses them to take over Malory's hotel.
51* GeniusDitz: Charlotte is mostly an airhead. But she proves surprising intuitive at identifying the pattern of footprints coming from the quicksand pool and correctly guesses that Archer and Pam were being carried away.
52* ImpoverishedPatrician: After her husband catches her cheating and bails on her, she is left without a penny to her name as a result.
53* NeverMyFault: She blames Archer for ruining her marriage, even though Archer argued that she herself did not resist to having sex with him.
54* TheOldestProfession: Malory wants to make her into a prostitute (sorry, a ''courtesan'') for the resort after she is abandoned on the island and jailed, but Charlotte is ''seriously'' not having any of it.

56
57[[folder:Pam Poovey]]
58-->'''Voiced By:''' Amber Nash
59
60Archer's right-hand woman, and the Danger Island version of Pam Poovey.
61----
62* AdaptationalBadass: Played with. While the real world Pam was already a badass to begin with, this version of her is untroubled by parachutes and automatic weapons, which hints at some kind of military background.
63* AdaptationalSexuality: This version of Pam does not appear to be a DepravedBisexual like the real Pam.
64* AlliterativeName: '''P'''am '''P'''oovey, just like her real world counterpart.
65* AmazonianBeauty: She is way more muscular than the real-world version of Pam, and is at least 6'5 according to Crackers. Princess Lana sure seemed pretty into her during one scene in Episode Two.
66-->'''Princess Lanaluakalani:''' ''(flirtingly, after Pam saves her from a long drop)'' My goodness! I didn't realize you were so strong...
67* BreakingTheFourthWall: Directly tells the audience that the McGuffin she and Archer are seeking, is NOT a [[Series/TalesOfTheGoldMonkey gold monkey]] (which it wasn't in the original show either).
68* FarmersDaughter: Possibly. Pam mentions that she was the State Cheese Tossing Champion five years in a row, and the angry cartoon goat on her baseball cap resembles the Poovey Farms logo.
69* TheLancer: To Archer's hero, as his co-pilot. Her biography mentions that Pam and Archer have gotten into (and barely back out of) various scrapes and jams all over the globe.
70* NeverBareheaded: Always wear a trucker hat, even when she's stripped naked by cannibals.
71* OnlySaneMan: She appears to be the only halfway-competent person working at the resort.
72* ProperlyParanoid: Lanaluakalani is a little perplexed that Pam would actually bring a ''machine gun'' with her when they bail out of a falling plane, but Pam wasn't kidding about that jungle.
73* StatuesqueStunner: In addition to being an AmazonianBeauty, this version of Pam also appears to be taller than her prime counterpart.
74* {{Stripperiffic}}: Spends the latter portion of the series wearing a coconut bra (which leaves a generous amount of underboob) and a leaf thong.
75* {{Tomboy}}: Army fatigues, baseball cap and machine gun? Yeah, Pam ain't no girly girl.
76
77[[/folder]]
78
79[[folder:Malory]]
80-->'''Voiced By:''' Jessica Walters
81
82Archer's boss and mother. The Danger Island version of Malory Archer.
83----
84* TheAlcoholic: Like her real life version she drinks almost constantly. While trekking through the jungle to rescue Archer she starts complaining about her electrolytes the instant her martini glass is empty. While captive of the cannibals, she spends most of the time rummaging through the supply room looking for booze.
85%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: Do '''not''' shoot the drink out of her hand, especially if there is a firearm within her reach!
86* {{Blackmail}}: Apparently has dirt on Captaine Reynaud, and vice versa.
87* EveryoneHasStandards: Malory exploits Charlotte's situation to make her work for Mallory as a prostitute, but when Fuchs tries to have sex with her after she passed out drunk, Malory kicks him out and refuses his payment.
88* {{Greed}}: Would rather recover the possibly valuable idol than save her son's life, even when he's drowning in quicksand.
89* InsistentTerminology: She's trying to turn Charlotte into a ''courtesan'', not a whore!
90[[/folder]]
91
92[[folder:Crackers]]
93-->'''Voiced By:''' Lucky Yates
94
95Archer's loyal pet parrot, and the Danger Island version of Krieger.
96----
97* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Considering he's the counterpart to a human character.
98* TheBusCameBack: Returns as a hazy hallucination in "Cold Fusion" to save Archer from drowning (it was actually Baby Lamont).
99* CatchPhrase: "Yep, yep, yep!"
100* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Both Archer and Pam have shown to be mutually annoyed by his behavior. But they still keep him around anyways.
101* OlderThanTheyLook: Is ''much'' older than he looks, as parrots are far more long-lived than most other birds. His species can live into their ''80's'' and Crackers himself is about 40.
102* TalkingAnimal: Unlike a regular parrot, who can only usually mimic human speech, Crackers can speak in coherent sentences. Naturally, with the exception of some characters, everyone else is a little freaked out about it.
103--> '''Crackers''': "Yes! I talk! Get over it!"
104* PhraseCatcher: "Shut up, bird." Normally said by Archer.
105* SmarterThanYouLook: Looks like a normal, everyday parrot. So naturally, it freaks out people who haven't previously met him when he talks in coherent sentences instead of just mimicking human speech like normal parrots.
106** Episode five shows Crackers has a knack for trivia and mathematics.
107* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Played with in that neither Archer, Pam, or Mother seem all that fazed by the fact that Crackers is clearly intelligent, but everyone else seems to react badly to realize that he can talk.
108
109[[/folder]]
110
111[[folder:Captaine Reynaud]]
112-->'''Voiced By:''' Adam Reed
113
114The head of the local police, and the Danger Island version of Ray Gillette.
115----
116* AbledInTheAdaptation: Has full use of his legs and both hands, while the real Ray was paralyzed (but had his spine repaired by Krieger and his legs cybernetically augmented) and lost a hand to a man-eating plant (and likewise had it replaced with a mechanical hand, also courtesy of Krieger).
117* AdaptationalJerkass: The real Ray is one of the nicest members of the main cast, while Captaine Reynaud is a dirty cop with dirt on Malory and is involved in various criminal enterprises - some of those also involving Malory.
118* AdaptationalWimp: This version of Ray is this by virtue of being just a policeman, as opposed to a secret agent.
119* {{Blackmail}}: Apparently has dirt on Malory, and vice versa.
120* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: Hides during the Nazi siege on the Mua-Mua village, when even Malory contributes to the battle. Then tries to claim that he killed ten Germans. He also flees during the final confrontation with [[spoiler:Fuchs]].
121* DirtyCop: He takes bribes from Malory, to look the other way while she tries to set Charlotte up as a prostitute (sorry, ''courtesan''), for example.
122* FrenchJerk: Extremely French, extremely snippy.
123* StraightGay: He portrays none of the CampGay traits of his real-world counterpart, though according to his backstory he is in the closet.
124[[/folder]]
125
126[[folder:Siegbert Fuchs]]
127-->'''Voiced By:''' Chris Parnell
128
129A wealthy German investor, and the Danger Island version of Cyril Figgis.
130----
131* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:As he's connected to the Third Reich, this is to be expected.]]
132* BadBoss: Shoots one of his own soldiers just for asking annoying questions.
133* BigBad: [[spoiler:Once his identity as a Nazi spy comes to the forefront, he slips into this role for the season.]]
134* BossBattle: Lampshaded by Archer, who [[spoiler:notes that after fending off waves of Nazi soldiers, they'll probably have to face just one bigger and more powerful one, which he refers to as a "boss". Sure enough, Fuchs shows up piloting a MiniMecha.]]
135* ButtMonkey: He is a German version of Cyril. Naturally, terrible things happen to him on a constant basis.
136* CompositeCharacter: There's a hint of Barry Dylan in him, which becomes more prevalent in the finale as he goes laughing mad from cocaine usage and pilots a mech suit.
137* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Plummets into lava, mech suit and all, as a result of Archer's HeroicSacrifice.]]
138* EyeScream: Sustains a nasty eye injury during his assault on the natives.
139* GagPenis: Because he's the alternate version of Cyril, naturally. Also, like the real world Cyril he doesn't see having a large penis as a good thing.
140* GratuitousGerman: He throws around a lot of German in his dialogue, especially when he is annoyed or terrified. Which happened to be most of the time.
141* HiddenAgendaVillain: Fuchs claims he is on the island to start a breadfruit plantation, but in Episode Two he lets slip a mention of an idol. [[spoiler: It turns out that Fuchs is actually a Nazi spy on orders from the Fuhrer to find said idol]].
142* MiniMecha: [[spoiler:Pilots one very similar to the Film/{{Aliens}}-inspired power loader from the Season 3 finale, once his entire platoon gets killed by cannibals and Archer's crew. It comes with built-in machine guns and a flamethrower.]]
143* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler: Quickly goes through this during episode 7 and 8 due to losing his soldiers to the cannibal tribe and repetitive cocaine snorting.]]
144* ThoseWackyNazis: [[spoiler:On the island on orders from a rising Hitler to find the idol. By the end, he even ''looks'' like Hitler thanks to his dishevelled hair and square cocaine-moustache.]]
145* UnfortunateName: Given how it's pronounced, his name is pretty much just an excuse for the cast to say "fucks" uncensored. This is never lampshaded in-universe, though.
146* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Gets one at the end of Episode 7 due to losing his soldiers to the cannibal tribe, and snorting cocaine.]]
