- Balance, Power, Skill, Gimmick: The original four main characters in "Larva Heroes", a mobile game in which Yellow is the Jack of All Stats, Red is a Fragile Speedster, Super Yellow is the Mighty Glacier and Wizard Brown is the Squishy Wizard. Black Knight and Rainbow Warrior, which were added in later updates of the game, come off as respectively Mighty Glacier and Fragile Speedster.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Nice characters can show how tough and emotional they can be when push comes to shove or when something dramatic occurs.
- The Chew Toy: Almost everyone are this, some characters like Violet, Pink sometimes, Mango, or Cocoa are Immune to Slapstick.
- Four-Man Band: Yellow, Red, Brown and Black. Sometimes the roles within the quartet might change depending on the episode, for example:
- Yellow can range from the gullible Butt-Monkey to the Only Sane Man, when he feels remorse for his and the others' actions, or The Smart Guy, when he manages to be talented at something or to avoid getting in danger in certain situations;
- Red is usually the conceited Comedic Sociopath, but he can also be an Enraged by Idiocy example of an Only Sane Man because of the others' clumsiness and nonsense, or a Butt-Monkey who tries to fit in;
- Brown can fit in all the other roles, except the Only Sane Man status, being the most eccentric member of the group;
- Black is either the tough Comedic Sociopath or the Only Sane by Comparison due to his The Stoic trait.
- Gonk: To start off, a lot of the insect characters (while designed and rendered well) aren't the prettiest bugs around (in fact reviewers in fact founded the larvae's designs cartoonishly hideous). Along with the animal characters, they either range from Ugly Cute or literally ugly-looking such as the Muds. The only exception being Chuck, who seems like a Ridiculously Average Guy with a Nonstandard Character Design, even by Larva standards.
- Some humans like the antagonistic one in "Insect Killer" 1 and 2 being portrayed as cruel with a ugly appearance.
- Idiot Ball: Either Zig-Zagged or Inverted with everyone.
- Jerkass Ball: Characters like Pink or Brown showing this on occasion.
- Nice Mean And In Between:
- Not Allowed to Grow Up: As the name of the show implies, almost all of the insects are immature. This was subverted in the "As time goes by" episode where most of the characters age and this was double-subverted in the "Welcome Larva!" episode where the titular Larvae grow wings and fly out of their vent into New York City.
- Everyone Has Standards: They all have decency in their personality, Grey was the subverted version in his return in "Larva Island".
Main Characters
Red
A red larvae in the titular duo and is one of the main characters who is full of pride and easily irritated. So don't try to mess with him! He is always pulling mean jokes on Yellow and others. But somehow finds himself in trouble in the end.
- Asshole Victim: Whenever his Karma Houdini doesn't ensue, he's usually this trope when around Yellow more likely.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: In Larva Island, went from being an utterly self-centered and arrogant Jerkass into an Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
- Butt-Monkey: Overall the biggest one in the show, often doubles with Laser-Guided Karma given in the episode.
- Beware the Silly Ones: While he may be a Butt-Monkey, he can be pretty violent when quick-tempered and can also be full of himself to an dangerously manipulative to a cruel degree.
- Disproportionate Retribution: He is often both a victim and a perpetrator of this.
- Did Not Get the Girl: He gets rejected by Pink constantly. Yellow, on the other hand...
- Enraged by Idiocy: Usually is this to Yellow, whether he decides to snark at Yellow or not.
- Fury-Fueled Foolishness: Sometimes to an comical degree when short-tempered with Yellow for a harmless reason or not.
- Jerkass: He slaps around Yellow, often for trivial reasons.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Yes he can be abusive, self-centered, selfish, quick-tempered, grumpy and incredibly full of himself, he then grows on to become less of a jerk than before (in spite of his selfish or grumpy qualities he can still have) and can show how sympathetic & likable he can be at times.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: You can probably count the episodes that don't include his angry "RRRRR" noises on one hand.
- Will sometimes just get angry and immediately slap Yellow just for being in his vicinity.
- Humiliation Conga: Several episodes in both season one and two will solely focus on his suffering alone.
- Iron Butt Monkey: Along with Yellow, they can be quite durable.
- It's All About Me: Can come across as this when jealous, snarky, obsessive, gluttonous or greedy, this is also a given due to him having quite an huge ego towards others.

- Meaningful Name: Along with many other characters, his name is based on his color.
- Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: The Savvy Guy to Mango's adventurous, energetic girl.
- Screams Like a Little Girl: Granted that he is a tiny, short character and his voice usually sounds high-pitched in general.
- Red Is Violent: Literally this with Yellow around because of being Enraged by Idiocy. Although he isn't that blood-hungry as other examples are.
- Relationship Upgrade: With Mango. Even for their mild breakup in the episode "Drift".
- Shorter Means Smarter: Usually with Yellow. Even if Red is also quite naive himself.
- Smart Jerk and Nice Moron: While done without any dialogue and Red being rather a Silent Snarker to Yellow's foolery instead of being an Insufferable Genius per say, Red and Yellow are still this pairing nonetheless.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: His Butt-Monkey status in season three is noticeably toned down compared to the first and second season before getting lowered all together in Larva Island.
- Took a Level in Kindness: As Larva Island goes by, Red has become a lot more nicer to Yellow than before, especially in his relationship with Mango.
- Toxic Friend Influence: To Yellow whenever their antics or mischief ensues in some instances.
- Tsundere: A non-romantic version. It's sometimes shown, he does care about Yellow.
Yellow
An yellow larvae who is an comically Too Dumb to Live if gross Butt-Monkey and is one of the main characters and titular duo
- Butt-Monkey: Obviously sharing Red's punching bag status, but a lot less than Red.
- This trope only worsens for him in the third season where he starts having it even worse than Red. "Booger" and "Feelers" being prime examples of this.
- The Chessmaster: Showing how he isn't as dumb as he seems and is, in one episode called "Genius Yellow", Yellow slips on a puddle, bumps into Red and accidentally swallows his bread, only for it to be later revealed that he specifically planned it that way.
- Cloudcuckoolander: He's had tons of remarks of himself being an odd fellow, can be a total dingbat, usually the goofball while around Red or not, and Yellow himself can be quite eccentric, over-the-top and weird in his usual goofy behavior or blissful activities when in his everyday naivete, blissful ignorance or from anything weird happening in a episode, just enough to make him seem unpredictable at times.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Yellow has his heroic moments as one of the protagonists and can obligingly prove to be a Genius Ditz or can help out his friends, no matter how silly and inane he usually is. He can also be this when trying to be tough and intimidating, enough to the point that he can look pretty crazy.
- Not only that, but he also started what would be the first Larva Rangers, who would defend all from those who would pick on the weak.
- Did Not Get the Girl: Ultimately loses Pink to Brown of all people and gets emotional because of this.
- Dumb, but Diligent: When it either comes to Yellow pulling out moments of true brilliance in his Genius Ditz moments or is cooperative as well.
- Dumb Is Good: Very Dumb, and very Nice. Enough said.
- Fartillery: Uses his farts like a cannon (while he can use them like a rocket, heater, etc).
- Fun Personified: What he likes doing by himself or with friends on a special occasion when discovering something or something else being the case.
- The Fool: Can show moments where he is very lucky in some instances/situations/etc that don't come across the Idiot Houdini zone, in fact, this can most likely be subverted when a Butt-Monkey.
- Genius Ditz: (See The Chessmaster above), Yellow has shown to be naturally talented and pretty skilled in some techniques that he also teaches how to function some abilities to Red or his friends.
- Idiot Houdini: Often in the early episodes, although Averted in later episodes.
- Iron Butt Monkey: Along with Red, he is quite durable and always lets Red slap him around and is still happy regardless, well most of the time.
- The Klutz: Can be this sometimes due to his dimwitted, oddball tendencies with his usual silliness making him prone to comical clumsiness, it can also result from having poor coordination with some environmental structures when running or other times like running on ice for example or is sometimes easily & unreasonably thwarted into being involved with slapstick pain when in his harmless activities by Red or is shown to have his klutzy moments whenever he has screen time.
- Kindhearted Simpleton: Due to his aforementioned Dumb Is Good demeanor, he never has a deliberately mean or malicious bone towards anyone unless he was motivated to do so (e.g Red) or was just being mischievous. Yellow isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, but he sure is incredibly kind, good-natured and was shown to be very sympathetic (usually loyal to Red on the Dumb, but Diligent side of things and in general), and is even gentle towards any kind of creature unless he was shown to be a lot more and more oblivious about something that could lead to potential problems in general or more oblivious with just problems in general at times.
- Lethally Stupid: Yellow's clumsiness allows him to cause misfortune on others without intention and the episode "Troublemaker" shows his stronger side of this trope.
- Meaningful Name: Along with many other characters such as Red, his name is based on his skin color.
- Extreme Doormat: The most soft-tempered and least bad-tempered to the slapstick in inflicted on him and always is this to Red, except one time he tried getting revenge in Red's sleep when feeling pressured to..
- Gasshole: Can be this due to childish humor or out of habit. While his friends can be hypocritical since they can be gassy too, Yellow does this a lot more often than not.
- Plucky Comic Relief: Is ultimately this due to his ditzy and goofball characteristics.
- Simpleton Voice: Although Yellow himself never talks per se, you'd get the idea that he has a goofy, stupid dialect because of the amusingly eccentric and silly voices he usually makes when communicating or during his usual antics.
- Toilet Humor: Is frequently the cause of this.
- Who Would Be Stupid Enough?: Where some of his foolishness can result from.
Recurring Characters

He has a good enough appetite to eat up caterpillars and other insects.
- Ambiguously Gay: Although this seems to be a case of Viewer Gender Confusion when Navy in his first appearance seemed like a female goldfish flirting with the larvae because of the appearance & high-pitched voice, but Navy revealing to be male kind of shows this.
- Bait-and-Switch: There was an unexplained backstory about Navy was a cute goldfish that got accidentally yet mistakenly placed in the wrong water. Which then made him form into an antagonistic monster of a fish who antagonizes the larvae and company.

- Crouching Morons, Hidden Badasses: They may be a pair of very dimwitted birds that can't even eat the worms that always outsmart them while in their mischief, but they can blind anyone unwittingly (and themselves) with their bald heads. And at the very least, Yah-Silver is good at fighting Yellow with a pair of gloves on his wings when Yellow was trying to use his premeditated skills he teaches to his friends when they all hid inside a glove with a hole in a thumb when hiding from Yah-Silver and practice moving as fingers to fight against the recurring insect's opponents in the episode "Glove".
- Forehead of Doom: Their baldness is so shiny that they can work as weapons to blind others or lasers in the "Larva Rangers". Which is why they never take them off.

- Manipulative Bastard: At times. This is more evident in his return to Larva Island.
- Nice Mice: Obviously a downplayed and inverted version of this, he is either a Jerk with a Heart of Gold at best and a Not-So-Harmless Villain at worst. He became the massive Big Bad and Super-Persistent Predator in Larva Island.

Mauve is a Mama Bear of an owl when it comes to her son Tan, she will scare away or destroy those who threaten or harm her little bundle of joy.
- Mama Bear: As stated above, she is very protective of her child.
Humans
Chuck
Chuck is a castaway that was stranded on a island and was trying to do anything he can to go back to New York City when he was casted away by accident.
- Cute and Psycho: Seems like one when he seems innocent and some future episodes show his more insane side towards the larvae while failing to get out of the island or is still stranded because of them.
- Born Unlucky: Not the luckiest guy in the show.
- Butt-Monkey: While the insect and other characters are this to only a slapsticky degree, most of them aren't as unfortunate as Chuck is since he needed to survive on a pretty small island while eating candy and seaweed as food with nobody visiting him when he is seen asking for help on occasion. Everything quite literally often never goes right for Chuck when planning his way home and also results from this when the titular larvae get in his way.
- Driven to Madness: Usually has these themes when around the larvae when trying to build his boat or trying to get rid of them because of failing so much.
- Failure Is the Only Option: His current failures with going home or getting rid of the larvae so he does get any more setbacks from them as his ineptitude would make us easily sympathize with him more, he is still skilled, however.
- Iron Butt Monkey: He was the only human in the show who was shown to have some invulnerability with slapstick disasters/mayhem that occurred around the island.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Justified towards the larvae, while he can be reasonably grumpy, short-fused, cruel, and vengeful when their mischief can be quite an annoyance and a literal hindrance for him (plus he did trying manipulating Crabsformer for his own benefits, while it obviously backfired). Chuck is usually a Nice Guy and is incredibly sympathetic towards others (yes, even the larvae in the episode "Change". For better or for worse)
- The Klutz: While a massive Butt-Monkey overall, he can have some clumsy Epic Fails, some stumbles when unaware, minor slips, or can have some poor coordination at times due to how much stuff lying around, how small the whole island is and how slapstick-prone he usually is.
- Large Ham: He's quite expressive with his feelings and has moments of enthusiasm.
- Only Sane Man: How he sees himself around the larvae duo, whether if he was right about their mischievous foolery and troublesome mischief, or if it was not actually the case in some instances.
- Plucky Comic Relief: Can be prone to showing tons of buffoonery whether it features a Wile E. Coyote-styled setting with trapping the larvae duo in the "A Lucky Day" episode, for example, having random moments with being buffoonish because of his Butt-Monkey status, or is this when he usually has many moments of these when it results from the Amusing Injuries that are inflicted onto him or onto himself.
- Road Runner vs. Coyote: Some episodes where he is trying to get rid of the larvae in devious ways ssuch as the "Lucky Day" episode being a prime example of this.
- Skilled, but Naive: He was shown to have tons of experience in high school when fighting off several enemies of his or surviving with the larvae, but is genuinely and understandably naive while being stranded on an island with limited resources no-less.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: At the end of season 5, he finally gets to go back to New York City in the episode "Drift".
