History WesternAnimation / TheNewAdventuresOfJonnyQuest

* FishPerson: The Reptillian. Despite supposedly being part dinosaur, he resembles a moray eel more than anything.

* AnimalAssassin: Maybe not all the way in the assassin part but the Reptillian is set out on missions like this.

* BodyHorror: Mr. Trudge in "Creeping Unknown," who has leafy, branchlike hands as a result of the evil plant monster's experiments on him. The scene where he takes his ConspicuousGloves off to reveal them is one of the show's (sadly few) very effect creep-out moments.

** Zartan in "The Monolith Man." The right side of his face has been turned to stone due to his experiments with crystals giving off an unknown form of radiation. It's possibly symbolic of how deep down he is cold and hard as stone, caring only for himself, as he drives his mining crews to dig for more and more of the crystals so he can study them in an effort to undo the damage to his face. Zartan's partially stone face is symbolic of
** Jud Harmon in "The Scourge of Skyborg." When he's rebuilt into the villain Skyborg, almost the entire left half of his body is robotic, including must of his face, possibly symbolic of how there's still some of Harmon left under all that inhuman metal, despite his insistence that ThatManIsDead. This ends up proving correct, given Skyborg's HeelFaceTurn at the end.

* HesAfriend: How the Quests sometimes have to introduce Hard Rock.

* TwoFaced: Zartan in "The Monolith Man." The right side of his face has been turned to stone due to his experiments in the same underground radiation that made Hard Rock a man of living rock.

* ProtagonistTitle: The show is named for one of the main characters, Jonny Quest and these are his New Adventures..

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Maximilian Dragna in "Warlord of the Sky." Although he's basically an {{Expy}} of Creator/JulesVerne's Robur (specifically the more explicitly villainous version of him in ''Literature/MasterOfTheWorld''), he doesn't appear to be human. He has a very grotesque, almost reptilian appearance, with MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily, sagging face folds, no visible nose, solid green eyes with large lashes and a full head and [[BeardOfEvil beard]] of snow white hair. Dr. Quest recognizes him, though, so he is a known figure. Possibly he ''is'' human but merely deformed or mutated in some way.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Maximilian Dragna in "Warlord of the Sky." Although he's basically an {{Expy}} of Creatore/JulesVerne's Robur (from ''Literature/MasterOfTheWorld'' moreso than ''Literature/RoburTheConqueror''), he doesn't appear to be human. He has a very grotesque, almost reptilian appearance, and yet all of his men are ordinary (if superpowered) humans, and Dr. Quest recognizes him, so he is a known figure. Possibly he is human but merely deformed in some way.

* TheIgor: Dr. Phorbus' assistant Simon in "Peril of the Reptilian." He's a needlessly creepy GigglingVillain and his default stance is standing slightly bent over, grinning evilly while [[FingerTenting steepling his fingers]].

* TheIgor: Dr. Phorbus' assistant Simon in "Peril of the Reptilian."

* FishPerson: The Reptillian.

* UnderwearOfPower: The Reptilian wears nothing but a pair of black briefs and with a strap across his chest. May double as WalkingSwimsuitScene (certainly a WalkingShirtlessScene).

* SissyVillain: Insofar as he is extremely vain, overly concerned about his physical appearance, and dresses very flamboyantly.

* BodHorror: Mr. Trudge in "Creeping Unknown," who has leafy, branchlike hands as a result of the evil plant monster's experiments on him. The scene where he takes his ConspicuousGloves off to reveal them is one of the show's (sadly few) very effect creep-out moments.

* BeingWatched: Dr Zin is still a master of this trope.
* BigBad: Dr Zin still.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: Skyborg.

* HesAfriend: How the Quests sometimes have to introduce Hardrock.
* HeelFaceTurn: Mr. Trudge in "Creeping Unknown".

** Zartan's henchman Scorpio in "The Monolith Man".

** Later Hardrock joins too.

* SkunkStripe: Dr. Phorbus in "Peril of the Reptilian."

* EpisodeTitleCard: There are plenty.

* BadassFamily: Dr. Quest and son, -- and let's not forget Hadji. Does bodyguard Race count as family?

* BadassFamily: Dr. Quest and son, Race and daughter -- and let's not forget Hadji.

* YellowPeril: Dr. Zin, as always,

* HeelFaceTurn: Mr. Trudge in the 1986 episode "Creeping Unknown".

This incarnation was noted for being more up the times and being a bit more friendly than the previous incarnation. This isn't to say it doesn't contain plenty of adventure too, just in a different tone.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Zartan's henchman Scorpio in the 1986 "The Monolith Man".
** Let's not forget hang-glinding evil pygmies in "Forty Fathoms Into Yesterday"
