Cquote1

 Voiced by: Atticus Shaffer, Patrick Cavanaugh, and James Arnold Taylor

Cquote2


Emrick is a member of the Petalars, a small race of Plant Aliens who've been separated from their homeland for generations. They live for about a day! Despite this trait, he's a highly optimistic Petalar who possess an upbeat and adventurous attitude.


Tropes associated with Emrick:[]

  • Badass Adorable: Capable of going toe-to-toe with opponents many times his size. Not that 'many times his size' is particularly big, but it's still impressive.
  • Badass Mustache: In adulthood, he gets a dashing Errol Flynn 'stache.
  • Cheerful Child: An enthusiastic young Pollyanna, quite convinced that, despite being trapped in the Briar Woods for generations, Lion-O and his Thundercats will help them find a way back home.
  • Constantly Curious: He's full of questions for the Thundercats. Lion-O says he reminds him of himself at that age, implying that he was one as well.
  • Final Speech: Assures Lion-O that It's the Journey That Counts
  • Heroes Prefer Swords: Makes one out of a twig to better model himself after Lion-O
  • Hot-Blooded: His one constant trait, mirroring Lion-O.
  • Intergenerational Friendship: An interesting variation. Lion-O is the elder, with Emrick as his much younger friend, but thanks to the Petalars one-day lifespans, Lion-O sees Emrick become the elder.
  • Motor Mouth: During his youth. Luckily his mouth's small enough to be stopped with a little finger.
  • Plant Person: All of the Petalars.
  • Retirony: Dies before he can ascend the Cliff of Winds, (an uncoiled fern) and ride an updraft to his ancestral home.
  • Tagalong Kid: He's like the little kid brother Lion-O never had. For about ten minutes, anyway.

  • In Harmony with Nature: They use their wood forging to defend the forest against Viragor, employing a paper mill to produce their supplies. Which they do by unsustainable clear-cutting with no replanting, provoking the ire of Viragor.
  • Macross Missile Massacre: One of Zigg's attacks is basically the paper version of this.
  • Paper Master: Zigg favors calligraphy, Gami folded animals, and Snips papercraft.
  • Paper Talisman: Used by Zigg, complete with Magical Incantation "Begone, evil spirits..."
  • Protectorate: The Forest of Magi Oar.

  • Death by Childbirth

  • Missing Mom

  • No Name Given: Has no known name aside from "The Queen".

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/225px-Dobo Bio_9721.png

Cquote1

 Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore

Cquote2


A former slave and gladiator dog who fought alongside Panthro in the Pit. He rose through the ranks and became the boss of the arena.


Tropes associated with Dobo:[]

  • Authority Equals Asskicking: Ended up in charge of the gladitorial games he was once an asskicking champion in, and it's strongly implied that he overthrew the previous management.
  • Badass: Just look at the guy.
  • Heterosexual Life Partners: With Panthro. It ultimately ends better than it did with Grune.
  • Large and In Charge: Gladiator boss and easily one of the tallest characters in the series, towering over the already-massive Panthro.
  • Meaningful Name: Dobo. Doberman. Get the picture?
  • Noble Bigot: Despite thinking ill of Panthro for presumably abandoning him to the arena, and thinking that cats in general have no honor, he nonetheless greets Panthro as a friend and lets the Thundercats stay in his city. Later, when Pumyra refuses to finish off Lion-O even when threatened with death, he even agrees to release Pumyra from the arena.
  • Rags to Riches: Started out as a lowly gladiator fighting in the arena. By the time the Thundercats meet him, he's the man in charge of the whole spectacle!

Cquote1

 Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore

Cquote2


A pickpocket raccoon gifted with kleptovoyance, the ability to know the right thing to steal, even if he isn't sure how it will be useful.


Tropes associated with Tookit:[]

  • The Artful Dodger
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He is a charming sweet guy who gives street urchins food and safe haven, in exchange for them stealing money and jewels for him. And after they steal enough, they cannot return to the streets as they are wanted for all the crimes Tookit made them do.
  • Engineered Public Confession: When facing down the Thunderkittens and his rebelling minions, he blurts out how he made the kittens and others steal for him, with the guard dog standing right behind him.
  • Expy: A charming thief with a preternatural sense of thieving opportunities, and whose tools include a staff with a hook on one end? Apparently, Sly Cooper has family on Third Earth.
    • Episode 22 also makes him into somewhat of an expy of Fagin.
  • It May Help You on Your Quest/You Will Know What to Do: His kleptovoyance in a nutshell, leading him to steal seemingly worthless trinkets that soon after prove beneficial to him in some way.
    • He incorrectly believes this applies to people too, believing that his frequent run-ins with the Thunderkittens are a sign that they will help him pull off the biggest heist in his life. Instead, they free the urchins he trapped in a life of crime by siccing a guard on him and stealing his Forever Bag. The only thing his kleptovoyance lead him to steal in this episode was a hairpin that allows him to break out of his cell at the end.
  • Loveable Rogue
  • Punny Name: "Took it", referring to his thieving nature.
  • Rascally Raccoon
  • Sticky Fingers

Ponzi[]


  • Meaningful Name: Ponzi. As in, "Ponzi scheme".
  • Spanner in the Works: To Mumm-Ra in "Recipe for Disaster". His "transform into an unstoppable demonic dragon" plan would have gone off without a hitch if it weren't for this hapless potion salesman. Even Ponzi's surprised his elixir and his pet caterpillar turned out to be useful in the end.
