'''''Kratts' Creatures''''' is a 1994 educational children's series hosted by Chris and Martin Kratt. In this show, the Kratt brothers travel around the world and teach children about the world of animals, with help from a fifteen year old girl named Allison and an animated anthropomorphic animal named Ttark.
 
It was followed by an unofficial spin-off for preschoolers called ''[[Zoboomafoo]]'' in 1999, and an animated series called ''[[Wild Kratts]]'' in 2011.

== Tropes ==
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Usually happens to the brothers.
** The most notable episode to involve this trope is "The Great Defenders".
** And then there was the one where Allison is trying to fix her computer system, gets it working, and bangs her head on the underside of the desk.
{{quote| '''Allison:''' Hey, I knew I could get it working if I just [[Visual Pun|used my head]]! ''([[Beat]]) [[Don't Explain the Joke|Ow.]]''}}
* [[As Himself]]: Chris and Martin.
* [[Cartoon Creature]]: Ttark.
Line 16 ⟶ 19:

* [[Foil]]: Allison and Ttark.
* [[Funny Animal]]: Ttark.
* [[Grand Finale]]: "Around Africa in Eighty Hours".

* [[In-Series Nickname]]: "Al" (Allison).
* [[Kid Sidekick]]: Allison.

Line 37 ⟶ 40:

* [[Shout-Out]]:
** Some episode titles are these to movie titles, for example, [[Around the World Inin Eighty Days|"Around Australia in Eight Days" and "Around Africa in Eighty Hours"]].

{{quote| '''Allison''': It says here it took them a number of dogs...a number of ''dogs''? [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|Sorry, I read that wrong.]] It took them a number of ''days'' to even get near the Tasmanian tiger. That makes more sense, because dogs like dingos have absolutely nothing to do with Tasmania.}}
* [[Unsound Effect]]: Often used by Ttark.
* [[Unusual Euphemism]] / [[Eureka Moment]]: Ttark's exclamations of [[Added Alliterative AppealAlliteration|"Colliding Camels!", "Grazing Gazelles!", "Hopping Hadrosaurus!",]] etc.
* [[Voice Changeling]]: Ttark, again. For example:
{{quote| "This time, I'm not as angry. This time, ''(deeper voice)'' '''IT'S PERSONAL!'''"}}
* [[Voice Withwith an Internet Connection]]: Basically the purpose of Allison, except she had a [[Magical Database]] rather than the Internet. And she could somehow follow the brothers' adventures on a monitor even though they were explicitly not being followed by a camera crew in-universe. [[Magical Security Cam|And the footage was edited in spite of it supposedly being live]].
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Ttark is prone to this.
