Tropes

 * Actor Allusion: (reserved for Green)
 * Annoying Younger Sister: It happens with Kerygan to her brother.
 * Berserk Button:
 * Don't you ever beat up a peacock in front of Jade/The Peacock Queen. Both Champ and Rufus learned that the hard way.
 * [Anna Tear with Abigail Tear being insulted or beaten up]
 * Cry Cute: Abigail Tear.
 * [Kerygan]
 * Don't Judge a Book by It's Cover: [Mutant Rex]
 * Dumbass Has a Point: [Champ]
 * Dumb, but Diligent: Despite his stupidity, Champ is really good at helping solve problems, especially standing up for Anna and Abigail. And yes, Champ is smarter than Billy and Ed combined. An another example is that in an episode, Champ solved a simple math problem without any problems.
 * Fragile Flower: Like Cry Cute, Abigail Tear.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: Like other Cartoon Network shows, this show has several hidden adult jokes:
 * In one episode, after stubbing his toe, Mickey accidentally yells the f-bomb. Luckily, it was censored.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Fifi. Despite the fact she is grumpy and dark-minded, she has a really warm heart and deeply care for her friends.
 * Mismatched Eyes: Fifi and Kerygan as their two eye colors are different.
 * The Ditz: [Champ and Kerygan]
 * What Could Have Been: The pilot premiered on Disney Channel in 2001 in an attempt to be green-lit. However, it was proven to be a failure for Disney Channel, but it was successful for Cartoon Network, so it was green-lit on that channel instead, premiering on 2004.
 * The first season was originally planned to have a Holiday 2003 release date, but due to scheduling conflicts and decision to improve some stuff, they moved it to Summer 2004 release.
 * The first season originally planned to have Face Paints, but the creators decided that they would be better off if introduced in the season season.
