Wild Kratts/Characters

Aviva Corcovado

 * Brainy Brunette
 * Competition Freak: Moreso than Zach. Not only does she have a rivalry with him, but she's also challenged the brothers, and nature itself ("Cheetah Racer" against the cheetah, "Platypus Café" when she thought she could figure out Plato's "sixth sense" on her own…).
 * Freudian Trio: One with Chris and Martin, and another with Koki and Jimmy.
 * Gadgeteer Genius
 * Gratuitous Spanish: Subverted and later averted.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Athena Karkanis was Agent Lindsay Perez.
 * Launcher of a Thousand Ships: Seems to be, given you either support Martin/Aviva, Chris/Aviva, (or neither) or have thought about any past Zach/Aviva. That's half of the adult male cast!
 * Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Most notably in "Platypus Café", and mostly due to her Competition Freak tendencies.
 * Meaningful Name: Corcovado is a city in South America.
 * Techno Babble
 * The Smart Girl
 * Wrench Wench

Christopher Kratt

 * Adorkable: YMMV, of course.
 * Alliterative Name: Justified, since this is his real name.
 * Aloof Big Brother: Inverted and subverted at the same time.
 * Ambiguously Brown: Justified, since he's somewhat dark skinned (for a caucasian) in real life.
 * As Himself
 * Blue Oni: Or is he a green oni?
 * Brainy Brunette: Has also displayed a little Gadgeteer Genius with Techno Babble.
 * Brown Eyes
 * Catch Phrase: "To the creature rescue!" and "Free and in the wild!"
 * Chronic Hero Syndrome
 * Color Coded for Your Convenience: Green, since 1994.
 * Curtains Match the Windows: Amusingly (and adorably) justified- in real life, his hair and eyes are brown.
 * Freudian Trio: With Aviva and Martin.
 * Genius Bonus
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Martin.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!
 * Ink Suit Actor
 * Large Ham: Subverted. More like Small Ham.
 * Pungeon Master: Subverted, but he gets his in.
 * Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness
 * Sibling Team
 * Tempting Fate
 * The Hero / The Lancer: Switches between both with Martin.

Martin Kratt

 * A Simple Plan
 * As Himself
 * Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny: Subverted.
 * Big Brother Instinct
 * Blondes Are Evil: Inverted- Martin's one of the good guys!
 * Blue Eyes
 * Catch Phrase: Shares his with Chris.
 * Chronic Hero Syndrome
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Color Coded for Your Convenience: Blue, since the old days.
 * Crazy Prepared: Or he likes to pretend so.
 * Drives Like Crazy
 * Dumb Blonde: Averted, as Martin is actually misleadingly intelligent, given his seemingly immature behaviour.
 * Freudian Trio: With Aviva and Chris.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Chris.
 * Heavy Sleeper: Subverted. Heavy in context to the rest of the cast; minor compared to Jimmy.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!
 * Ink Suit Actor
 * Large Ham: Ever since 'Kratts' Creatures'' in 1994.
 * Man Child
 * Pungeon Master: Due to being both Cloudcuckoolander and a Large Ham.
 * Red Oni
 * Sibling Team
 * The Hero / The Lancer: Swtiches between them with Chris.
 * The Nicknamer: At least since Zoboomafoo.

James "Jimmy" Z

 * Big Eater
 * Butt Monkey: Especially in "Elephant in the Room". He's also punched himself in the face (twice in a row!), dropped a football on himself, gotten tangled up in a hammock, banged his thumb with a hammer twice, need I say more?
 * Freudian Trio: With Aviva and Koki.
 * Hates Being Touched: Oddly, only with Aviva. Other characters have even made full body contact that he didn't look uncomfortable with, but he shrinks away from Aviva (except in "Masked Bandits" when she was behind him with her hands on his shoulders, and he had his hands on hers).
 * Heavy Sleeper
 * Non-Action Guy
 * Only One Name: At least he gets a letter. Poor Dabio and Koki don't have even that much.
 * The Good Captain

Koki

 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Freudian Trio: With Aviva and Jimmy.
 * Only One Name
 * Sassy Black Woman
 * The Chick
 * Wrench Wench

Donita Donata

 * Alliterative Name
 * Attention Whore
 * Bad Boss
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Even Evil Has Standards
 * Idiosyncrazy
 * Karma Houdini
 * Nightmare Fuel: She paralyzes animals to make living jewelry out of, and even did it to Martin (to use as a model), on whom she seems to have a crush. There can be consequences to this: At least in humans, when the body is paralyzed with the brain intact (which is different from medical paralysis or coma), the victim usually strokes out within 3 months.
 * The Fashionista

Dabio
"Dabio: Uhhhh, Donita, there is clog.
 * Blondes Are Evil: Subverted- Is he, or is Donita the evil one and he's just following orders?
 * Dumb Blonde
 * Dumb Muscle
 * Expy: Of Fabio (yes, THAT Fabio).
 * Evil Minions: But his evilness is disputed for reasons listed in the tropes.
 * Man Child
 * No Celebrities Were Harmed
 * Only One Name: Seems to be mixed with Nominal Importance.
 * Simpleton Voice
 * Too Dumb to Live: I'll let "Flight of the Draco" speak for itself:

Donita: So *unclog* the clog."


 * He also once called her on the phone- from *inside* the ship- to let her know they arrived at their destination.
 * You Get Me Coffee

Gaston Gourmand

 * Alliterative Name
 * Behind a Stick: "Platypus Café" and "Honey Seekers".
 * Cordon Bleugh Chef
 * Doing It for the Art
 * Evil Is Hammy: All the time.
 * Evil Tastes Good
 * Fat Bastard
 * Idiosyncrazy
 * Laughably Evil: Operates between this and Nightmare Fuel.
 * Nightmare Fuel: He talks to himself in an unjustifiable way, sings jingles about eating endangered animals to himself; heck, the whole thing about cooking and eating endangered animals is creepy enough.
 * Karma Houdini

Zachary Varmitech

 * Adorkable: Very YMMV.
 * Adult Child
 * Arch Nemesis
 * Attention Whore
 * Bad Boss: To the Zachbots.
 * Butt Monkey: It's karmic, though.
 * Buffy-Speak: Animals are always (feature)-thingies: Seal-thingies, warty-thingies…
 * Catch Phrase: "I'll get you, you Wild Ratts!"
 * Child-Hater: With a Freudian Excuse.
 * Competition Freak
 * Dating Catwoman
 * Dirty Coward
 * Evil Genius
 * Evil Is Hammy: When things don't go his way.
 * Freudian Excuse: See "Never My Fault".
 * Gadgeteer Genius: Subverted since the Zachbots (and all his guardbots, really) are used for mundane utilities.
 * Hikikomori
 * Inferiority Superiority Complex
 * Laughably Evil: The biggest example.
 * Karma Houdini: Except for being a Butt Monkey, but this is extremely light, given the way he treats animals.
 * Kick the Dog
 * Know-Nothing Know-It-All
 * Mind Control: By using a Mind Control device for Unwilling Roboticisation. The animals always have Mind Control Eyes.
 * Momma's Boy
 * Neat Freak: "Help! I'm CONTAMINATED! Somebody SAVE me!"- "Let the Rhinos Roll!", after being thrown into the mud pit.
 * Never My Fault: "They made me lose! I never lose!"- "Bass Class". Also, his Freudian Excuse is that the Kratt Brothers wouldn't let him make robots out of animals when they were kids, and this is why he a- hates kids, b- hates the brothers, and c- is a villain at all.
 * Psychopathic Manchild
 * Revenge Before Reason: Y'know, if he'd leave the animals alone and stop trying to get revenge on Aviva and the bros, all his problems would disappear. It's that simple.
 * Rich Bastard / Spoiled Brat
 * The Resenter
 * We'll See About That: His usual reason for villainy. He even quotes this once.
 * Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Or any animal, for that matter. It's odd- he's at once terrified of animals, yet uses them for his robots.

Zachbots

 * AI Is a Crapshoot
 * Evil Minions: Laughably Evil, but evil.
 * Expy: Of the Jack-Bots.
 * Mecha-Mooks
 * Telescoping Robot: Mixed with Mundane Utility- attachements include an umbrella, a fishing net, and *ointment*. Yes, ointment. Possibly Do-Anything Robot.
 * You Get Me Coffee
