* GlassCanon: Much like their Shrieker form, they are highly dangerous and capable of killing a man in seconds but are far more vulnerable then their Graboid stage. Juan manages to kill one with a pickaxe, something their adult form would consider a nuisance.

[[folder:Hiram Gummer]]
-> '''Played By:''' Creator/MichaelGross

A dandy British gentleman who owns a silver mine in Nevada, around which is formed the mining town Rejection. Forced to confront the Graboids when they are accidentally unearthed, he eventually assists in saving the town, which becomes Perfection. He is the ancestor of Burt Gummer.

* DoesNotLikeGuns: At first, due to being an overly civilized dandy. He's certainly an awful shot. It's implied they start to grow on him after he kills a Graboid with a Punt Gun and Christine Lord gives him a Gatling Gun as a present for saving the town.
* IdenticalGrandfather: Michael Gross plays Burt's ancestor.
* InstantExpert: Downplayed. He still can't hit what he's aiming at after a lesson from Black Hand Kelly, but he has his consistency down pat which ''is'' impressive for someone with no experience shooting guns.
* TookALevelInBadass: Slowly progresses. During the feud with the Graboids, he ultimately wields a firearm and leads the townspeople into a fight for survival against the monsters.
* TookALevelInKindness: He treats the people of Rejection like garbage at first, but becomes more compassionate as he gets to know them.

-> '''Played By:''' Creator/SarahBotsford
The local schoolmarm, determined to save her town of Rejection. She and Hiram Gummer are implied to become a couple, making her a maternal ancestor of Burt Gummer.

* WastelandElder: Fifty-ish hotel owner Christine Lord is the ''de facto'' leader of the DyingTown ''Rejection,'' a mining community plagued by monster attacks.

[[folder:Black Hand Kelly]]
-> '''Played By:''' Creator/BillyDrago

A mercenary gunslinger that Hirum Gummer hires to try and track down & kill the "Dirt Dragons" that have been killing the workers in the silver mine. Unfortunately for him, by the time they find them, the Dirt Dragons have grown up into full-sized Graboids, and his weaponry isn't designed for it. He gets killed because of his jangling spurs.

* BaitAndSwitch: One of his first scenes involves him asking Fu Yien to toss him an apple, with most of the cast expecting him to shoot it. He just catches and eats it instead, only to shoot down an ornament in the store and then hit it again on the way down.
* DoNotGoGentle: Even while being EatenAlive by a Graboid, he's unloading his pistol into the beast's mouth.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: He refers to setting off to find the "Dirt Dragons" as "jangling some spurs", which prompts a NoJustNoReaction from Hiram and Juan. He later gets killed because his spurs allowed a full-grown Graboid to find him easily.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: He's known for these in-universe, and displays them, along with a lightning-quick draw, in his introductory scene.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: For all of his nastiness, Kelly tries to encourage Hiram to become more assertive and teaches him how to shoot. He ends up eaten well before the final scene.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: And he manages to wheedle most of Rejection's collective wealth out of them, as well.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: His job is to kill people, and when first hired, he assumes it's either Juan or Tecopa, or "the injun or the Mexican", as he puts it.
* PsychoForHire: He enjoys being a professional gunman a ''little'' too much.
* TheWorfEffect: In-universe. His death causes Hiram and the rest of the town to face a DespairEventHorizon... if he didn't stand a chance against the Graboids, how could they?

[[folder:Old Fred]]
-> '''Played By:''' Creator/JEFreeman
A crusty old wagon-driver who is found killed by the "Dirt Dragons".
* CoolOldGuy: Old Fred is a gun-totting old teamster who is fond of folksy sayings (such as suggesting that they hire a gunman who can "shoot the nuts off a squirrel at a hundred paces").
* OneSteveLimit: Considering the first movie has an Old Fred.
* SacrificialLion: Old Fred sticks around as a member of the ensemble of townspeople for a large part of the movie before being KilledOffscreen.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Juan Pedilla]]
-> '''Played By:''' Creator/BrentRoam
A Mexican miner, the first surviving witness to the "Dirt Dragons" and one of the few miners who refuses to leave despite the killing.
* AmbiguousSituation: Given his desire to start a ranch and his Mexican heritage, it's possible but unconfirmed that he's Miguel and Rosalita's ancestor.
* {{Sidekick}}: He's the one who first shows Hiram where the attacks went down and accompanies him for a lot of the movie.
* SoleSurvivor: The only miner present during the initial baby grabbed attack to survive.

The complaining matriarch of the Chang family, who runs the general store of Rejection.

* NostalgiaFilter: Pyong is constantly making comments about how certain dangers and misfortunes weren't present back in China, with her husband disputing this. However, near the end of the movie, she claims that she was the one to talk him into leaving China in the first place and doesn't really want to go back, implying that she doesn't mean it when she makes homesick comments.
--> '''Pyong:''' In China, no one shoots in wall!
--> '''Lu Wan:''' In China, no one has gun.

[[folder:Lu Wan Chang]]
-> '''Played By:''' Creator/LydiaLook
