Seldom Seen Species is no longer a trope.


* PrehistoricMonster: {{Subverted}}: while he has his moments, we also get to see him act naturally in his debut episode (where he does a display for several female ''Tarbosaurus''). [[spoiler:Pity the bazooka guy had to go and ruin it....]].
* SeldomSeenSpecies: ''Tarbosaurus'' is usually ignored in favor of its more popular relative ''Tyrannosaurus''.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first time he's seen, during his talk with McLennan, he casually talks about the death of a civilian, comes up with a rather crazy excuse for it to satisfy the authorities, and is dismissive of the search team's odds of finding their target before it finds them, telling us that this is a man who is rather sociopathic and clearly lacks empathy.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Is able to get away with a ton of crap, ''[[spoiler:including killing one of his own men]]'', because he's friends with McLennan.

* TheBeastmaster: Manages to tame Kaisen, a ''Velociraptor.'' {{Downplayed}}, though, in that he still doesn't think completely trust her yet. WordOfGod implies he would gradually grow to trust her more, had the series continued.

* SpottingTheThread: When Michio and Frank are initially posing as PUD workers, she figures out that they are after the anomaly (or, at least, the dinosaurs) when she notices how much Michio knows about her dinosaur toys, including that her ''Postosuchus'' toy is a victim of ScienceMarchesOn.

Added DiffLines:

* AdmirringTheAbomination: Tends to find the animals the team goes after very beautiful and/or impressive.... and terrifying as hell.
* AsianAndNerdy: While he doesn't look the part, he is the team's expert on the creatures they're facing and is Japanese.
* CowardlyLion: Panics at the thought of being near a ''Therizinosaurus'' when he realizes it might maul him for his blood (ItMakesSenseInContext), but is the one who tries to tranquilize Scarface, remains calm whle doing so, and only fails because one of his men loses his nerve.
* {{Expy}}: Of Connor Temple from the original series.
!!Rachel
The team's tech expert.
----
* BoringButPractical: Prefers this approach when dealing with animals, preferring tried and true methods as opposed to expensive, cutting-edge technology.
** DeconstructedTrope: Said tried and true technology was meant for usage on ''modern'' animals, so when they try using it on Scarface, it fails spectacularly.
*** Also, she is willing to use cutting-edge technology if it would be more efficient for a given task than a simpler solution.
* GadgeteerGenuis: Designs most of the team's equipment.

!!Sandra Jackson
A police officer, and the newest recruit to the team.

* TheAce: Mclennan notes that she isn't an ideal recruit, but is very impressed with her broad set of skills, including a degree in Astrophysics, boxing skills, three years of martial arts and 10 with the police.
* ButtMonkey: At times.
* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Initially wants to avoid getting involved with the ADACU, but is ultimately forced to join them.
* SixthRanger
!!Elsie Jackson
Sandra's daughter.
----
* TheBeastmaster: Manages to tame Kaisen, a ''Velociraptor.'' {{Downplayed}}, though, in that he still doesn't think completely trust her yet. WordOfGod implies he would gradually grow to trust her more, had the series continued.
* DamselInDistress: Ends up being dragged by Scarface into the Cretaceous when he steals Sandra's car (ItMakesSenseInContext). Fortunately, she's rescued.
* TheLoad: {{Averted}}: her ability to work with Kaisen makes her a valuable asset for the research team, and fortunately for her, they ''do'' recognize that she is a person, not a tool.
!!Warren Preston
Head of field operations. Everyone fears him.

* BadBoss: [[spoiler:Kills Jeremy so that his falling body will distract the ''Xenosmilus'', ensuring that it won't kill Rachel and Michio]].
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Per WordOfGod, he's similar to a sociopath, but it goes deeper than that: he will do whatever he thinks will get the job done ''efficiently'', everything else be damned.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Has an absolutely ''bizarre'' set of morals, but is still very valuable to the team. [[spoiler:Doesn't mean he won't sacrifice his men if he thinks it will help others]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first time he's seen, during his talk with McLennan, he casually talks about the death of a civilian, comes up with a rather crazy excuse for it to satisfy the authorities, and is dismissive of the search team's odds of finding their target before it finds them, telling us that this is a man who is rather sociopathic and clearly lacks empathy.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While he isn't necessarily evil, it's made clear that he isn't just a {{Jerkass}} either. That being said, he still genuinely loves his wife, Wendy.
* [[spoiler:HalfHumanHybrid]]: [[spoiler: The ending of ''The Phantom of the Opera'' heavily implies he isn't fully human. Considering his HealingFactor, this isn't surprising]].
** WordOfGod [[spoiler:has outright confirmed this. However, it isn't just ''one'' species he's been hybridized with...]]
* HealingFactor: Can regenerate any part of his body, ''even an entire arm.'' [[spoiler:This hints that he isn't ''entirely'' human...]]
* LackOfEmpathy: Can talk about deaths like he was talking about a bad hand of cards, ''even if he knew the people who died and was good friends with them''.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:''The Phantom of the Opera'' reveals that his eyes are actually very fishlike and that he wears contacts to hide this. Given his aforementioned healing factor, it's likely he isn't completely human]].
** Furthermore, [[spoiler:while his origins have never been mentioned by the author, it's very likely he's from the future, given the series' focus on time travel]].
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Is able to get away with a ton of crap, ''[[spoiler:including killing one of his own men]]'', because he's friends with McLennan.
* TheSociopath: WordOfGod describes him as either being one or having a disorder similar to it. And boy, does it show.
!!Kaisen
A ''Velociraptor.''
----
* Expy: Of Rex from the original series, being a small creature that the team keeps as a pet
* FeatheredFiend: Looks like a turkey with teeth and claws.
* OddFriendship: With Elsie.
* MascotMook: For both the series and Hublerdon's art.
* PrehistoricMonster: [[AvertedTrope Is the only creature so far to avert this, as he acts very realistically and hasn't even killed a single person, nor tried very hard to do so (the sole exceptions being whenever he's been put into a cage, which is understandable).]]
* RaptorAttack: {{Averted}}, he's very accurately detailed.
* StockDinosaurs: Do we need to explain this?
* TeamPet: Comes with being an expy of Rex.
!!Scarface
A ''Tarobsaurus''.
----
* BigEater: Has to be fed two and a half ostriches ''a day''. The team just simplifies this to five ostriches every two days.
* FeatheredFiend
* ImmuneToBullets: Big time.
* PrehistoricMonster: {{Subverted}}: while he has his moments, we also get to see him act naturally in his debut episode (where he does a display for several female ''Tarbosaurus''). [[spoiler:Pity the bazooka guy had to go and ruin it....]].
* SeldomSeenSpecies: ''Tarbosaurus'' is usually ignored in favor of its more popular relative ''Tyrannosaurus''.
* TyrannosaurusRex: He's a close cousin of it.
