Lo Pei
And so does his copy.
- I must once again safeguard these, lest they fall into the hands of the Ultimate Evil.Voiced by: David Carradine
A sacred warrior of the Ling Dynasty. He led the uprising against Shendu nine centuries earlier, turning the demon into a statue and taking away his powers in the form of the twelve Talismans. He's been long dead, but one episode features a terracotta statue of him. When the Rat Talisman is used on it, it comes to life with the original Lo Pei's personality and powers. He's turned back to normal at the end of the episode.
- Ascended Extra: He first briefly appears in "Project A, for Astral" during the flashback in which he casts a spell to turn Shendu to stone. One of the second season's filler episodes gives him a name and a personality through the interactions his Living Statue has with the modern world.
- Calling Your Attacks: When he performs scroll magic, he shouts the scroll's title.
- Cassandra Truth: Lo Pei's copy refuses to believe he's a statue until he sees a poster depicting him in his statue form.
- Catchphrase: He makes some nature-inspired analogies to describe or muse upon something. They are all initiated by the analogy. A couple of examples:"As the lily pad offers respite to the weary bullfrog, so your service to our cause is much appreciated."
"As the crescent moon is dutybound to follow the sunset, so shall I smite this Dark Hand." - Fish out of Water: A Ling dynasty warrior in modern times? You figure.
- Good Is Not Nice: While he is dedicated to keeping the Talismans out of evil hands, he has no qualms about causing collateral damage or non-lethally disposing of people who seem to threaten him.
- "Good Luck" Gesture: Jade teaches him the thumbs-up gesture as a sign of friendship. After he's turned back into a lifeless terracotta, his right hand is left in this gesture.
- Greater-Scope Paragon: He's the one who turned Shendu into a statue and scattered his Talismans to the four corners of the Earth. The same spell he used to accomplish that is reused on Shendu in the conclusion of the third season's Noble Animals arc.
- Irony: Valmont comments on the irony of the fact that a mundane statue of the man who turned Shendu into a sentient statue has come to life.
- Kung-Fu Wizard: Not only he's a powerful wizard, but he's also skilled enough with martial arts to easily take down Jackie and Tohru.
- Lightning Bruiser: He moves fast enough to give Jackie trouble, strikes hard enough to knock Tohru on his back, and survives being crushed under a taxi.
- Made of Iron: When Tohru squashes him under a taxi, he survives uninjured, much to his own surprise. Jade suggests this is because he's a Living Statue.
- Occult Blue Eyes: He has dark blue eyes, which is an unusual trait for an Asian, and could be connected to his magic.
- Paper Talisman: His magic is performed through scrolls. The ones he's shown using can be used to levitate, petrify opponents and energy blasting.
- Posthumous Character: The real Lo Pei has been dead for centuries, but the living terracotta has his personality. Neither is his spell lost forever to be used to turn Shendu into a statue and trap his powers in the twelve Talismans again.
- Precursor Hero: Before all the business with Section 13 and the Chan Clan, there was this guy overthrowing Shendu.
- Punny Name: When Finn first hears Lo Pei's name, he cracks a joke of it sounding like "low pay".
- Warrior Poet: He constantly utters nature-inspired analogies to poetically and abstractly describe or muse upon his situations.Lo Pei: As the dandelion scatters its seeds to the four winds, so did I scatter the Talismans to the four corners of the earth.
- Wizard Beard: He's a powerful chi wizard, and he sports a stylish beard.
- Wouldn't Hurt a Child: The Enforcers manage to briefly trick him into thinking they are his fellow Ling warriors until they make the mistake of grabbing Jade. As Lo Pei declares, a sacred warrior like him would never harm a child.
- You Shall Not Pass!: He stays behind to fight the Shadowkhan, allowing Jackie and Jade to escape with the Talismans. When they are at a safe distance, he throws the Rat Talisman at them, letting himself to become a statue again.
The Eight Immortals
From left to right: Zhang Guolao, Lü Dongbin, Li Tieguai, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi, Cao Guojiu, Zhongli Quan and He Xiangu.
Eight legendary heroes of ancient China. They are the ones who originally banished Shendu and his siblings to the Demon Netherworld and locked their portals with the Pan'Ku Box. However, the artifacts they used to do this (their symbols) were tainted with the demons' chi.- Ambiguous Gender: Lan Caihe is youthful, androgynous, and uses flowers as a magical symbol. The ancient mythology isn't clear on Lan Caihe's gender, either (most texts refer to him as male, but it's not iron-clad).
- Artifact of Doom: The artifacts they used to seal the Demon Sorcerers (their symbols) absorbed some of the respective demon's chi. Anyone who absorbs a Demon Chi will gain the powers of the respective Demon Sorcerer, but the chi will also mutate the person's body, making it look like the Demon Sorcerer, and the demon's evil nature slowly corrupts the host's mind. And the changes will supposedly be permanent if the chi is not removed in time.
- Big Good: All of them are this, it is through their heroics and legacy that the Chan Clan is able to fight Shendu's siblings.
- Flower Motifs: He Xiangu's symbol is a lotus pod, Lan Caihe's symbol is an unidentified flower, and Li Tieguai's symbol is a gourd.
- Handicapped Badass: Li Tieguai is shown to have a bad leg. When he became an immortal, his soul was transferred into a maimed beggar's body.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: This is a downplayed trope: only Lü Dongbin's symbol is a sword.
- Lady of War: He Xiangu is an immortal chi sage in an elegant dress.
- Magic Music: Zhang Guolao's symbol is a drum, Cao Guojiu's symbol is a pair of castanets, and Han Xiangzi's symbol is a flute.
- Noodle Incident: The Fire Demon Chi is never even discussed during the final season. Admittedly, since Drago already had the fire powers inherited from his father, it's natural he would not be interested in pursuing the artifact containing Shendu's chi.
- Offscreen Moment of Awesome: They were able to defeat the Demon Sorcerers single-handedly thousands of years ago. Special awesome points go to He Xiangu, who was able to banish the gravity-altering Tso Lan, the Moon Demon, into outer space. It's not clear exactly how she did it.
- Paper Fan of Doom: Zhongli Quan's symbol is a fan.
- Pink Means Feminine: He Xiangu's dress is mostly pink. More interestingly, though, is that the magical beams that surround and banish Tso Lan, the Moon Demon who He Xiangu originally defeated, are also pink; he's the only one who has that color code.
- Powered Armor: The ancient armor featured in Armor of the Gods was used by the Immortals in their battles against the Demon Sorcerers, and it's one of the few remaining relics left behind by them. When worn, it adjusts to the wielder's physique and enhances their physical abilities.
- Public Domain Characters: They are figures from Taoism: they were originally mortal humans who achieved immortality and various other magical powers through various means, usually as rewards after being tested by a Taoist sage Lao Tzu or another immortal.
- Precursor Heroes: Similar to Lo Pei, they are famous heroes who defeated the Demon Sorcerers in the past.
- The Smurfette Principle: He Xiangu is the only female among them. Justified in that the characters weren't invented for the show — He Xiangu is also the only female of the Eight Immortals.
- The Voiceless: They never speak in the flashbacks they are shown.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: It's never revealed what happened to them after they sealed the Demon Sorcerers away. For all we know, they might have been destroyed or they Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence.
Chi Master Fong
This is all we see of him.
A deceased Chinese mystic who taught Uncle magic for fifteen years. Somewhere along the line, Daolon Wong "defeated" him.- The Ghost: We don't get to see a flashback of him or to hear his voice, but in The Good, the Bad, the Blind, the Deaf and the Mute, we see on a shrine dedicated to his memory a statue and a small figurine of him.
- Leitmotif: He has one in The Good, the Bad, the Blind, the Deaf and the Mute, when he "spirit communicates". It's a slow and quiet flute tone.
- The Mentor: He taught Uncle all his magic.
- Old Master: Similar to Uncle, he was an old and wise chi sage who taught Uncle. What Uncle is to Tohru, Fong was to Uncle.
- Our Ghosts Are Different: In The Good, the Bad, the Blind, the Deaf and the Mute, his spirit guides Uncle and his family. He doesn't appear as a "physical spirit", but instead he gives signs through forces of nature (like how Mufasa did with Rafiki). It should be noted that Fong can literally mean "wind" in Chinese.
- Posthumous Character: All we know about him comes from what Uncle and Wong say about him.
- Shrine to the Fallen: He has a shrine and a statue to his memory somewhere in South China.
- Spirit Advisor: He appears to Uncle in various abstract forms to provide guidance.
Super Moose
- Voiced by: Clancy Brown
An anthropomorphic moose superhero. Normally a fictitious character, unless Jade uses the Rat Talisman to bring a stuffed doll of him to life.
- Action Hero: His first solution to problems is action.
- Animal Superhero: SUPER MOOSE!
- Animate Inanimate Object: Thanks to the Rat Talisman, he becomes a living toy.
- Badass Adorable: A crime-fighting and surprisingly effective stuffed animal.
- Big Damn Heroes: He has saved people in every episode he appears in. Nobody except Jade ever expects him.
- Catchphrase:
- "Da-da-da-da-da-da, ANTLER ACTION!"
- "Evil on the loose, you do not want to mess with Super Moose!"
- Cute Bruiser: He charges into battle with ANTLER ACTION!
- Me's a Crowd: One instant has Jade animated multiple Super Moose Piñatas.
- Non-Human Sidekick: At least twice he has acted as a sidekick for Jade.
- The Nose Knows: Like Daolon Wong's Dark Chi Warriors, he can smell Talisman magic.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: This small plush toy can pack quite a punch, much to the burlier bad guys' astonishment.
- Superheroes Wear Capes: A moose looks like a superhero because of his cape!
