This section covers the characters from the original book adaptation:

Les Pyjamasques & allies

General

• Animal-Motif Team: Les Pyjamasques, Tatouro and Les Mascrapules, have suits and names that based on various animals respectively.
• Calling Your Attacks: Some of the heroes pretty much always call their super powers by name when using them, usually by saying their superhero names or animal route at the beginning sentence of their power.
• Henshin Hero: The Pyjamasques actively transform from regular, non-superpowered kids into their superpowered alter-egos by their magical friends, the totem animals.
• Land, Sea, Sky: Each of their vehicles specializes in a certain terrain. The Chat-Bolide is the Land, the Reptilo-mobile is the Sea, and the Astro-Hibou is the Sky.
• Kid Hero: Les Pyjamasques are a trio of six-year-old superheroes. Their allies don't seem to be much older (or at least appear to be the same age)
• Pajama-Clad Hero: Their costumes are essentially their pajamas, hence why they can only transform when in their pajamas.
• Primary-Color Champion: Blue for Yoyo and Red for Bibou. Averted with Gluglu, who wears green (a secondary color).

Sacha/Yoyo

• Animal Motifs: In the original books, his motifs were primarily of a tiger. But it became a normal cat in later volumes of the series.
• Blue Is Heroic: Wears blue in both his civilian and superhero forms.
• Color-Coded Characters: Blue.
• Fast as Lightning: In later volumes of the series, he leaves lightning in his trail when using his super speed.

Amaya/Bibou

• Animal Motifs: Owls.
• Badass Cape: In her costume, she wears a red cape with feathers.
• Blow You Away: Being an owl-themed hero gives one the advantage of using a lot of wind-based attacks.
• Mistaken Identity: Given the fact she had rounder eyes in the first 18 books, Bibou was long thought to be a boy like her teammates.
• Token Flyer: The only one out of the 3 heroes that can fly.

Greg/Gluglu

• Chameleon Camouflage: Fitting with his reptilian powers' theme, Gluglu can gain invisibility.
• Early Adaptation Weirdness: In one of Les Pyjamasques original stories, Gluglu's costume initially had the ability to breathe underwater.
• Odd Name Out: When it comes to the French names he's the only one of the trio whose civilian and hero names start with the same letter.

Tatouro

• Adaptational Intelligence: Unlike Armadylan, Tatouro is shown to be portrayed as a dim witted hero.
• Animal Motifs: Armadillo.
• Anti-Hero: Due to being dimwitted of seeing the heroes and villains fighting each other, he often thinks that he is supposed to be the villain.
• The Big Guy: He's noticeably taller than the other heroes, and even stronger than Gluglu.
• Fatal Flaw: His dimwitted behavior of thinking that he's a villain is easily his greatest flaw, especially when witnessing the heroes and villain's actions towards each other.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: While he's taller than the other heroes, he is still a child and smaller than the adult characters, so it still counts.
• Rolling Attack: He can roll up into a ball to attack his opponents.
• Super-Strength: Has this as one of his powers.
• Super-Strong Child: He's a Kid Hero with Super-Strength as his main ability.

Lilifée

• An Ice Person: She has the power over ice.
• Puppy Love: Lilifée and Les Pyjamasques seem to show this. But in the early volumes of the book, this was generally downplayed a bit due to the primary protagonists fighting for Lilifée's affections.

Nighttime Villains

General

• Card-Carrying Villain: Averted. Unlike the villains from the television series who do that is bad, the villains in the books tend to have motives and personalities that fit in line with their archetypes while representing moods in similarity to the Greek mythological gods.
• Enfant Terrible: It can be assumed they are all or close to six years old and they're villains.
• Rogues Gallery: To the Pyjamasques.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: If some remains of their handiwork are seen during the day then usually just Conner, Amaya, and Greg notice it.
• Villain Team-Up: Averted. Unlike their television counterparts, they'll always act on their own.

Romeo Mecano

• A.I. Is a Crapshoot: At one point, Romeo's Kisses Machine in "Les Pyjamasques et la machine à bisous" turned against his creator and got a spanking by his own robot for harassing the Pyjamasques..
• Big Bad: Averted. Unlike his television counterpart, he tends to make recurring appearances in the book series.
• Brainy Brunette: Has blue hair and relies on inventions of his own creation to make trouble.
• Butt-Monkey: As of "Les Pyjamasques et operation zero", he often gets mocked and taunted by the heroes and other characters for the spiky shape of his hair and most of his misfortunes.
• Color-Coded Characters: Blue.
• Enemy Mine: At one point, he was forced to team up with Les Pyjamasques to defeat the Robot-Blizzard in "Les Pyjamasques et le robot-blizzard".
• Child Prodigy: Is around the same age as the PJ Masks, and has built some seriously advanced machines.
• Evil Genius: Is a young scientist villain.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: On more than one occasion he failed because his inventions backfired on him.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Relies on inventions he created to suspend the Pyjamasques' school or interfere with mythologic and folkloric characters that is related to dreams (in his first four appearances).
• Insufferable Genius: He's so full of himself that when he tried to destroy the Pyjamasques school, his intentions was due to the students making a mockery of his failures of completing schoolwork instead of complimenting him.
• Mad Scientist: A child version.
• Narcissist:
  • In "Les Pyjamasques et operation zero", he tried to demolish the Pyjamasques' school in retaliation of the students making a mockery of his failures on poetry instead of complimenting him.
• Never Learned to Read: One of the greatest ironies for a mastermind of super science when in one scheme involving replacing text in books with his own picture expecting him to be recognized instantly; he reveals that he never learned how to even read or write so the public just sees his face but cannot put a name to it.
• Never Recycle Your Schemes: Defied. Romeo has no qualms about using old inventions and plans again.

Sorceline, the Mitomites, and the Papinuits

• Color-Coded Characters: Sorceline dresses entirely in black.
• Evil Wears Black: As stated above, Sorceline's outfit of choice is entirely black.
• Hover Board: Sorceline's Aero-Lune.
• Lesser of Two Evils: Averted. Sorceline is seen to be more dangerous and homicidal than Luna Girl in the book series such as in "La legende des Pyjamasques" where she tries to struck the Pyjamasques with her lightning-powered magnet and trap them in a magical bag that makes anything and anyone disappear to oblivion.
• Macabre Moth Motif: Sorceline has an army of Mitomites and moths that always follow her every action.
• Non-Human Sidekick: Sorceline has a large swarm of Mitomites and moths as her mooks.
• Pest Controller: Sorceline controls a swarm of Mitomites and moths.
• Psychic Powers: Her Luna Magnet allows her to use a form of this; it can fire a beam that lets her levitate anything it touches into the air.
• See the Invisible: The book "Les Pyjamasques et le cadeau de Sorceline" has her spot an invisible Gluglu in front of her, thanks to her Mitomites.
• Wicked Witch

Ninjaka, the Ninjazouaves

• Adorable Evil Minions: The Ninjazouaves, with how they're smaller than our heroes and villains, speak gibberish and pretty accident-prone.
• Ambiguously Human: The Ninjazouaves have a humanoid appearance, and some of them are revealed to have names, but there is still the fact that they talk in their own gibberish, are smaller than even the other kid characters, and we never see what they look like underneath their masks.
• Color-Coded Characters: Teal for Ninjaka, purple for the Ninjzouaves.
• Gratuitous Ninja: Is this to the books, which is set in modern times but features a ninja anyway.
• Highly-Visible Ninja: Averted. Unlike his television counterpart (Night Ninja), Ninjaka tends to focus on being slightly stealthy via his motives.
• Mini Mook: The Ninjazouaves basically look like miniature versions of Ninjaka. Teeny Weeny barely reaches up to the normal character's feet.
• Small Name, Big Ego: Averted. Unlike his television counterpart (Night Ninja), his motives focus less on being skilled and more on stealthily stealing possessions from people that he needs for his own personal and needy uses.

This section covers the characters from the TV adaptation:

The PJ Masks & the Power Heroes

General

The whole team as of season 6

• Adaptation Personality Change: In comparison with Les Pyjamasques, the PJ Masks are portrayed to be less mischievous and playful, and more serious.
• Aesop Amnesia: The PJ Masks have to go through the same lessons, again and again, because they keep mistrusting the villains because of their past villainous plots, blaming them for something they didn't do, and also trying to get back at them for taunting them.
• Animal-Motif Team: The three main PJ Masks, Armadylan, Ice Cub and Bastet have suits and superhero names (with the sole exception of Bastet in the case of the latter) that are based on cats, owls, lizards, an armadillo, a polar bear and a serval, respectively. As for their powers, the trope is zigzagged. Catboy's/Bastet's super agility and sharp hearing, Gekko's Chameleon Camouflage and Wall Crawl, Owlette's ability to fly, enhanced vision and wind powers, and Armadylan's Rolling Attack are powers one could expect from a hero with that animal motive, while other powers, like Catboy's Super-Speed, Gekko's/Armadylan's Super-Strength, Ice Cub's ability to make snow or Bastet's Sun Disc (which acts as a shield and allows her to teleport), are not.
• Badass Adorable: Every member of this team are prone to this.
• Balance, Speed, Strength Trio:
  • Balance: Owlette
  • Speed: Catboy
  • Strength: Gekko
• Beauty, Brains, and Brawn:
  • Beauty: Catboy
  • Brains: Owlette
  • Brawn: Gekko

Or

• Beauty: Owlette
• Brains: Catboy
• Brawn: Gekko
  • In either case, Gekko's always the brawn.

• Calling Your Attacks: They pretty much always call their super powers by name when using them, usually by saying "Super" at the beginning sentence of their power.
• Chromatic Arrangement: The main trio: Catboy is blue, Owlette is red, and Gekko is green.
• Color-Coded Characters: The Chromatic Arrangement for the main trio mentioned above is visible just about everywhere; not only are their superhero costumes in these assigned colors, but so are their civilian outfits. Plus, their personal rooms in HQ and their bedrooms at home are primarily in their designated color, and even the roofs of their houses are blue, red and green respectively.
• Curtains Match the Window: Their eye color matches their costumes.
• Dub Name Change: The original French names from the Les Pyjamasques picture book series are a bit drastic compared to their English ones.
  • Conner is the most major example as his name Sacha. As a hero he is known as Yoyo.
  • Owlette is known as Bibou, from "hibou" ("owl").
  • Gekko is known as Gluglu, from "glu" (slime).
• Expy: The superheroes are inspired by the existing superheroes of Marvel Comics.
• Fighter, Mage, Thief: Catboy's super speed make him the thief, Owlette's intelligence makes her the Mage, and Gecko's strength makes him the fighter.
• Flight, Strength, Heart: Owlette's got the power of flight, Gekko's got the strength, and Catboy is the heart of the team, plus he has the heart of a true leader.
• Henshin Hero: Catboy, Owlette, Gekko and Ice Cub actively transform from regular, non-superpowered kids into their superpowered alter-egos with the help of their pajamas and wristbands. Newton Star also transforms from a non-superpowerd boy into a superhero, though he does so with help of his asteroids. Armadylan is strongly implied to be a Henshin Hero as well, but unlike the others we never get to see his daytime identity or his transformation into hero. Averted with An Yu, Bastet and Lilyfay, who have no daytime identity but are always in their superpowered forms.
• Instant Armor: After the introduction of the PJ Riders, anytime the PJ's summon the riders, their costumes are instantly upgraded in to more armored versions.
• Land, Sea, Sky: Each of their vehicles specializes in a certain terrain. The Cat-Car is the Land, the Gekko-mobile is the Sea, and the Owl-Glider is the Sky.
• Kid Hero: They are a trio of six-year-old superheroes. Their allies don't seem to be much older (or at least appear to be the same age)
• Nice Mean And In Between: Catboy is the nice one who is the more kindhearted, Owlette is the most prone to mean behavior and Gekko is in between, he may be shy but can be competitive at times.
• Out of Focus: As of season six, the show has started putting more focus on the supporting heroes and introduce three new heroes, with the side effect that the original three PJ Masks (Catboy, Gekko and Owlette) get less screen time in favor of the six non-PJ Masks (with the sole exception being the premiere "Heroes Everywhere," as well as the theme song). They still appear in every episode, but now only go on select missions, and are now only sometimes seen during the daytime scenes, with Newton and Ivan (Newton Star and Ice Cub's respective daytime counterparts) now stealing their thunder.
• Pajama-Clad Hero: For the main trio and Ice Cub, their costumes are essentially their pajamas, hence why they can only transform when in their pajamas.
• Primary-Color Champion: Blue for Catboy, Red for Owlette and Yellow for Bastet.
• Power Glows: Their suits light up whenever they use their superpowers.
• Power Trio: The three main members of the team.
• Puppy-Dog Eyes: It happens in every cute◊ and heartwarming moments◊
• Science Fantasy: The heroes generally have fantasy elements combined with more "grounded" elements. A common aspect includes each hero having their powers linked dependently to a mystical source (e.g. Mystery Mountain, a crystal totem, superpowered asteroids etc.) while having a mix of sci-fi elements such as gadgets powered by that said mystical source, directly tied to the heroes' powers.
• Transformation Sequence: Each becomes their superhero ego through one of these.
• Transformation Trinket: The three core members transforms when they activate their bracelets while wearing their pajamas. Newton has his own Transformation Trinket in the form of his emblem, which is linked to his asteroids, and Ice Cub transforms thanks to his polar bear onesie. Averted with An-Yu, Lilifay and Bastet, who are always in their superhero identity, and it is unknown how Armadylan transforms.
• Two Guys and a Girl: The original lineup had Catboy and Gekko as the two boys and Owlette as the only girl. Averted with the introduction of the other Power Heroes.

Connor/Catboy

The leader of the team. Dresses in blue and has cat-themed powers.

---

• Ambiguously Brown: Has a tanner complexion when compared to Amaya and Greg in the cartoon, especially noticeable during the daytime scenes. This suggests he might be Latino, but we never see any of the characters' parents so it's difficult to determine any kind of origin for him. However, Catboy's skintone is exactly the same as Gekko and Owlette's in the merchandise.
• Animal Motifs: Cats.
• Brainy Brunette: Is noted for being smart.
• Blue Is Heroic: Leader of the team and wears blue in both his civilian and superhero forms.

• Innocent Blue Eyes: His eyes are blue and heroic, and it shows for his catty innocence.
• Kindhearted Cat Lover: It's only natural that a superhero with a cat motif would love them.
• Kitty Cat Eyes:Even though he's the brave leader, he's can show pure cuteness◊.
• Leeroy Jenkins: One of his main flaws is that he tends to rush into action without a plan, something that he had to learn to get over more than once. Lampshaded in the episode "Catboy Does It Again":
  Connor: I'm a speedster. I think with my legs.
• Shock and Awe: His transformation has a lot of lightning effects in it. He also leaves behind a trail of lightning when using his super speed. In "Robot goes wrong", he was able to use this electricity to recharge PJ Robot.

• Super-Hearing: His hearing gets greatly enhanced in his hero identity.
• Super-Speed: Has this as his primary power.

• Glowing Eyes: Gets these whenever her Owl Eyes are in use.
• The Heart: The peacekeeper of the team, who acts as a moral compass for her friends.
• Hypocrite: In "Owlette's Two Wrongs," Owlette learns that two wrongs don't make a right after ruining Night Ninja's statue just to get back at him for ruining her Flossy Flash sculpture. Then, she said to Catboy and Gekko in "Romeo's Disguise" that they shouldn't get back at Romeo because they would be no better than him as they are heroes and not villains. But then in "Glowy Moths," she decided to get back at Romeo anyways for breaking her Owl Glider and making fun of her flying much to her teammates' dismay- with Luna Girl and her glowy moths' help, of course. Thankfully, Owlette learns that it's wrong to side with a villain and decides to help her teammates defeat Romeo.

• Super-Senses: Gains night vision in her hero identity.

• The Smurfette Principle: Is the only girl in the team as mentioned in the very top, and was the only female main hero overall until An Yu was promoted to a main character in "Heroes Everywhere."
• Team Mom: In spite of her overconfidence, she often plays the role to the other team members, especially Catboy (despite him being older) and Gekko given her wise and kind-hearted nature that gives the impression of a mother-like figure.
• Technicolor Wind: Her Owl Wing Wind attack creates red gusts of wind.
• Token Flyer: Of the main trio, she is the only one that can fly without the help of a vehicle or other gadgets. Averted when one considers the other heroes, as Newton and Lilyfay can also fly.

---

• Animal Motifs: Lizards.
• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: In "Super-Sized Gekko", he got big thanks to the super-sizer in this episode.
• Badly Battered Babysitter: "Terrible Two-Some" turns him into this, when he has to look after Catboy and Owlette after Romeo's Baby-Beam regresses their minds to those of toddlers.

• Chameleon Camouflage: Fitting with his reptilian powers' theme, Gekko can gain invisibility.
• Color-Coded Characters: Green.
• Cute Giant: Gekko makes one really cute giant in "Super-Sized Gekko", he's just the cutest giant ever!

• Driving Up a Wall: Gekko's vehicle, the Gekko Mobile, has this ability. Fitting, since Gekko himself has Wall Crawl as one of his powers.
• Emerald Power: Wears an all green suit, that glows with green light when he uses his powers.
• Gentle Giant: He become one in "Super-Sized Gekkko!" He's kind and big-hearted (pun not intended)!

• Muscles Are Meaningful: His Super Gekko Muscles makes him not just strong, but strong-hearted (meaning he's resilient and enduring). On the other hand...
• Muscles Are Meaningless: Despite his main power being super strength, even in his superhero identity Gekko doesn't look particularly muscular, instead having a normal physique for a kid his age, complete with an unusually chubby belly.
• Once Done, Never Forgotten: He spend the second half of the Munki-gu two-parter being blamed by his teammates for accidentally letting the titular monkey loose.

PJ Robot

A robot originally build by Romeo to lure the PJ's into a trap, but ended up becoming their ally instead.

---

• A.I. Is a Crapshoot: A rare heroic case, PJ Robot grew so fond of the PJ Masks that he eventually turned against Romeo and joined the heroes.
• Beware the Nice Ones: When motivated by the power of friendship to defend the PJ Masks against Night Ninja, he extends his tool arms to be more intimidating. Night Ninja takes one look at the power tools and decides anywhere else would be a good place to be rather then standing in front of PJ Robot.
• Gadgeteer Genius: He is responsible for creating and modifying several of the PJ Masks' tools and vehicles, including their space suits and the PJ Seeker.
• Good Costume Switch: Gekko gives him a new paint job when the PJ's welcome him on their team.
• Grew Beyond Their Programming: Went from being a mindless robot doing what Romeo programmed him to do, to a sentient ally of the PJ Masks. In "PJ Robot Vs Romeo", Romeo even admits that PJ Robot has become smarter than he originally made him. ("Oh yes, I'll be back. Back for my Mini-Bot, now that he's smarter than I made him!")
• Heel–Face Turn: He was build by Romeo to befriend the PJ Masks and lure them into a trap, but he ended up joining them for real instead.
• Hover Bot: Can fly and thus has no legs or wheels (though concept art for the character shows these were originally considered).
• Mission Control: Serves this purpose when not accompanying the PJ Masks into the field.
• Remember the New Guy?: He made his debut in "Wacky Floats," where he is seen in HQ and the masks clearly already know him. Downplayed since he is given an origin episode later.
  • Similarily, the short "PJ Masks' Surprise" shows that An Yu has already met PJ Robot before, despite the latter having not been to Mystery Mountain in the actual series since "The Mountain Prisoner." For now, how An Yu and PJ Robot properly met remains ambiguous.
• Robot Buddy: For the PJ Masks.
• The Sixth Ranger: Becomes the fourth member of the PJ Masks in season 2.
• TV Head Robot: His head is a digital screen on which he can project a face.
• The Unintelligible: Speaks in bleeping sounds. Although every once in a while he says a few actual words.

Armadylan

A boy with powers based on an armadillo. Very reckless and easy to anger, he nevertheless tries to be a hero.

---

• Animal Motifs: An armadillo.
• Anti-Hero: He wants to be a hero, but is not cut out to be one and often causes more problems than he solves.
• Bash Brothers: With Gekko, especially whenever an episode calls for them to team up to take down a villain.
• The Big Guy: He's noticeably taller than the other heroes, and even stronger than Gekko. Gekko actually nicknames him Big Guy.
• The Bus Came Back: After being absent in season 5, he returns in the latter half of season 6 in "Moth Boy".
• Car Fu: The episode "Nobody's Sidekick" has him using a car to attack Romeo.
• Character Development: He's considerably less reckless in season 6, and seems to have better control over his temper. He also actively avoids fighting back against Bastet when she keeps mistaking him for a bad guy.
• Cool Helmet: He's the only hero who wears a helmet instead of a mask.
• Destructive Saviour: His biggest flaw, and one the PJ Masks try to help him get over.
• Fast Tunneling: When rolled up into a ball, he is capable of these.
• Fatal Flaw: His temper is easily his greatest flaw. When he gets angry, he tends to lash out at whoever made him angry, be they friend or foe, and causing plenty of destruction in the process.
• Ground Punch: His Thunder Thump attack is one of these.
• Hero with an F in Good: Wants to be a hero, but is far too reckless, destructive and clumsy to be one.
• Hidden Depths: In "PJ Dylan", he can fix cars when he broke the Cat Car by accident.
• Identical Stranger: In "The Curse of Armadylan" it is revealed that in ancient Egypt there was a armadillo-themed villain who looked just like him whom both Pharaoh Boy and Bastet were terrified of, hence why the latter distrusts Armadylan when she first meets him.
• I Work Alone: Ultimately decides at the end of "The Curse of Armadylan" that he prefers to do solo hero work, but still agrees to help out the Power Heroes whenever they need him.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: While he's taller and bulkier than the other heroes, he is still a child and smaller than the adult characters, so it still counts.
• Put on a Bus: He is completely absent in Season 5 and the first half of season 6. He finally returns in the episode "Moth Boy", where he told Gekko and Owlette that he had been taking a break from superhero work due to his clumsiness making him doubt if he was cut out to be a hero.
• Rolling Attack: He can roll up into a ball to attack his opponents.
• Shockwave Stomp: He can stomp hard enough to shake the ground.
• Sixth Ranger: Wants to be this for the PJ Masks, and in some episodes actually serves as one. However, he, alongside Newton and An Yu, only appears in select episodes, and is only sometimes on the side of the heroes when he does.
• Smug Super: He can be friendly, but also, cocky, arrogant and ill-tempered.
• Super Gullible: He gets tricked by the villains in almost every one of his appearances, examples include Romeo tricking him into stealing stuff to build his own HQ ("Nobody's Sidekick"), Night Ninja tricking him into stealing the PJ Masks vehicles for his own use ("Wheels Of A Hero") and also tricking him to fight An Yu by forging a message from the PJ Masks ("Clash On Mystery Mountain").
• Super-Strength: Has this as one of his powers.
• Super-Strong Child: He's a Kid Hero with Super-Strength as his main ability.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: After four seasons since his first appearance, one of which he was completely absent, he finally becomes of a member of the Power Heroes in the Season 6 episode, "The Curse of Armadylan".
• Took a Level in Badass: Upon his return in season 6, not only has he learned to keep his anger in check, he also gains a new power that allows him to use his armor to send objects flying.
• Vocal Evolution: His voice gradually loses the gruff, raspy tone it had in his earlier appearances.

The Dragon/An Yu

A 2001 (formerly 2000)-year-old dragon who can assume the form of a young girl. She is the guardian of Mystery Mountain. She was trapped in the Dragon Gong for 1000 years until Night Ninja freed her in Season 3 after attempting to force her to get rid of the PJ's.

---

• Apologetic Attacker: She apologizes to Owlette near the end of part 1 of "Meet An Yu", telling her that she must obey Night Ninja once more, before blowing her away with her breath.
• Brought Down to Normal: Until the Season 5 finale "Luna's Moon Attack," her powers only worked on Mystery Mountain. Hence, she lost them any time she left the mountain. This is no longer an issue in Season 6, as starting with that season's premiere "Heroes Everywhere", which is confirmed in both this episode and in later episodes, she is now able to use them outside of the mountain. It is unknown how she was granted this ability, though.
• Defrosting Ice Queen: She was rather strict and no-nonsense in her first few appearances, but gradually learned to loosen up and be more willing to accept help from the PJ's.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Her dragon form first appears in the Season 2 episode "The Dragon Gong".
• Fish out of Temporal Water: Due to having been trapped in the Dragon Gong for centuries, and the fact that she hardly ever left Mystery Mountain until "Heroes Everywhere," she was quite unfamiliar with the modern world or modern day customs. She gradually adapts over the course of the series, and in Season 6 she no longer has any hesitation to leave Mystery Mountain due to now using her powers outside of the mountain as mentioned above.
• Flashy Teleportation: She can teleport in a golden flash.
• Flight: She can levitate.
• Forced into Evil: When she was still a dragon, and had to obey whoever held the mallet to the gong, Night Ninja had her do his bidding.
• Kid Samurai: In her human form, she's a samurai girl about the same age as the PJ Masks and Night Time villains (despite her biography on the offical PJ Masks site claiming that she has been trapped in the Gong for 1000 years).
• Leitmotif: A Sitar, sometimes accompanied by a flute, is heard when she appears.
• Little Miss Badass: She's got the kung fu skills to pay the bill and her divine wisdom.
• Long-Lived: Seems to be the case given that she is a dragon and was already 1000 years old when she was first trapped inside the Dragon Gong.
• Magic Music: Her flute allows her to manipulate the vines and rocks on Mystery Mountain.
• Martial Arts Staff: Overlapping with Magic Staff. An Yu's main weapon is a bamboo staff she can use for both melee combat, as well as various magical powers like flying or creating strong gusts of wind.
• Morphic Resonance: As a dragon, she has red/gold scales which she retains in her human form.
• Older Than They Look: Despite looking about the same age as the heroes and villains as mentioned above, she is, in fact, 2001 years old as revealed in the season 6 episode "An-Yu's Birthday," even though, as mentioned before, she was trapped in the Dragon Gong for 1000 years, which implies that she was only 2000 years old between whenever she was first trapped in the gong and her debut episode.
• Power Echoes: She speaks with an echo right before using her flute to kick Night Ninja out of her temple at the end of "Meet An Yu," with his Ninjalinos running away afterwards.
• Power Glows: In addition to speaking with an echo (see above) she also glows with an red outline when kicking Night Ninja out of her temple before his Ninjalinos run away afterwards.
• Sealed Good in a Can: She was trapped in a gong in her dragon form, but freed by Night Ninja in "Meet An Yu" (technically, he already released her once in "The Dragon Gong", but she remained a prisoner of the titular gong in that episode).
• Token Minority: She is the first and only Asian hero in the show, as well as the only Asian character overall.
• Unwanted Assistance: Her first few episodes generally consisted of her being given a special task and refusing help from the PJ Masks, even when it would be beneficial.
• Voice of the Legion: Her dragon form speaks this way.
• Weredragon: She's a magical dragon, that can also assume a human form. She was exclusively in dragon form while in the gong, but seems to spend all her time in human form after being released.

Newton/Newton Star

A young boy interested in anything related to space. By night, he is the protector of space. He becomes friends with the PJ's after accidentally causing the HQ rocket to send one of his asteroids towards earth.

---

• Adorably Precocious Child: He's one smart cookie and one smart superhero.
• Aesop Amnesia: A recurring one with him is learning to not to dwell on his mistakes whenever he messes something up.
• Batman Can Breathe in Space: He doesn't need a space suit or helmet when going into space.
• Black and Nerdy: his favorite activity in his spare time is hanging out in the library, studying anything space related. And he wears Nerd Glasses during the day.
• Casual Interstellar Travel: Several times in the series he admits to have visited other galaxies, which he can apparently travel to and back in the span of just 1 night. We never actually see him do this, though.
• Cute Bookworm: In the daytime, he's a cute little boy who loves to read.
• Expy: He is an inspiration of Captain Marvel, but with Doctor Strange's abilities and feats.
• Flight: Flying is one of his superpowers.
• The Glasses Gotta Go: Like Amaya, he wears glasses during the day, but not when in his nighttime identity.
• The Hermit: He prefers the solitude that space provides as revealed in "All About Asteroids."
• I Call It "Vera": He likes to name the Asteroids he controls.
• Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: He can summon energy shields.
• Magic Meteor: His powers come from asteroids, which he can telepathically control without having to touch them.
• Only Sane Man: Despite his debut on season 4, he prefers to be the sane and smart occasional member of the PJ Masks. For example, in "Asteroid Accident," which was his debut episode, while the PJ Masks hanging on for dear life. Newton Star just dabs to rush on.
• Science Hero: He refers to himself as a scientist, and initially he used his powers to visit space and study asteroids rather than perform heroics.
• Shout-Out: His shields strongly resemble those used by the MCU version of Doctor Strange (and other sorcerers). His asteroids also parallel the Infinity Stones.
• Sixth Ranger: The third supporting hero to occasionally help out the PJ Masks, after An Yu and Armadylan
• Smart People Wear Glasses: He's a young space explorer/scientist, and wears glasses in his daytime identity.
• Superheroes in Space: While the PJ Masks occasionally go on space missions, Newton's powers are all based around Space, and he likes to spend the majority of his time there.
• Token Minority: He is the first black hero in the show, with the second being the disabled hero Ice Cub, and the third being Bastet. And before Pharaoh Boy came along, he was the only black main character.

Teeny Weeny Ninjalino/The Splat Monster

Formerly an ally of Night Ninja, this tiny Ninjalino eventually grew tired of his boss and abandoned him. After an accident involving special, red Transforming Splat, he gains the ability to turn into the Splat Monster.

---

• Ambiguously Human: Teeny Weeny has a humanoid appearance, but there is still the fact that he talks in his own gibberish and is unusually small, barely a couple of inches. We also never see what he looks like underneath his mask.
• Heel–Face Turn: As of "Teeny Weeny Returns", he turned against Night Ninja and decided to work at the heroes' side. As of "Teeny Weeny to the Rescue", he is an official defender of Mystery Mountain along with An Yu.
• Homing Projectile: One thing that makes Teeny Weeny so dangerous when he turns into the Splat Monster, is that he can telepathically control any sticky splat projectiles he fires, allowing him to make them home in on the intended target, making dodging impossible.
• Lilliputians: He is barely a few inches tall.
• Mini Mook: Teeny Weeny basically looks like a miniature version of Night Ninja, barely reaching up to the normal character's feet.
• One-Winged Angel: For Teeny Weeny, of all people; in "The Splat Monster", he falls into a pool of transforming splat and becomes a huge, muscular monster named the Splat Monster. He is transformed back by the end of the episode, but several other episodes see him regain this form.
• Shapeshifter Weapon: As the Splat monster, he can shapeshift his hands into various tools.
• Sticky Situation: His weapon is sticky splat, a substance that acts like super tough glue and comes in various forms.
• The Unintelligible: Teeny Weeny speaks in gibberish, with occasional words thrown in.

The PJ Pets

A group of animals originally consisting of Greg's pet lizard Lionel, the Alley Cat, and a nameless pigeon. As of season 5, the pigeon was replaced with an owl named Owly, and she, Lionel and the Alley Cat (now known as simply "Cat") now act as sidekicks to the PJ's.

---

• Action Pet: Lionel is Gekko's pet, and becomes his sidekick too once Gekko gets his powers back. To a lesser degree, Owly and the Cat, though they are technically not Owlette and Catboy' pets and more likely a stray owl and cat respectively.
• All Animals Are Dogs: Lionel behaves much more like a domesticated dog than a lizard. Among other things, he likes to play fetch.
• Cats Are Mean: Averted; Alley Cat is as heroic as Catboy is.
• Cute Owl: Owly certainly qualifies.
• A Dog Named "Dog": The Alley Cat and owl are simply renamed Cat and Owly respectively in "Owly Tricks."
• Lovable Lizard: Lionel is a fun loving and loyal pet.
• Loyal Animal Companion: To the PJ Masks.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: While the alley cat and especially Lionel appeared several times in seasons 1 - 4 before getting superpowers, thus setting up their connections with Gekko and Catboy, Owlette originally befriended both a red bird and a pigeon, neither of which are seen again once the pets get powers in Season 5. Their place is instead given to an owl, who was never seen before season 5.
• Uplifted Animal: They are clearly more intelligent than regular pets, able to follow commands from the PJ Masks and think for themselves.

PJ Riders

The PJ Masks' noble steeds who became their modes of transportation in lieu of their Thememobiles after they are destroyed by Carly and Cartoka in season 5. Originally residing within the PJ Crystal Totem in HQ, with help from the PJ Pets, they were able to leave the crystal and assume physical forms resembling a giant tiger named Cat Stripe King, a giant eagle owl aptly named Eagle Owl, and a giant, reptilian creature named Power Lizard.

---

• All Animals Are Dogs: Much like Lionel, Power Lizard acts more like an overgrown puppy than a reptile.
• Giant Flyer: Eagle Owl is big enough to carry Owlette on her back.
• Gentle Giant: They're all animals of imposing sizes, but are very friendly towards their masters and anyone who earns their respect. Cat Stripe King in particular loves belly scratches and Power Lizard is fond of giving Gekko cheek licks.
• Green-Eyed Monster: In "The PJ Riders Save the Day", they briefly became jealous when the Masks were planning to get their vehicles back. Luckily, they got over it.
• Horse of a Different Color: They are a giant tiger, owl and lizard who act as mounts for the PJ Masks.
• Mega Neko: Cat Stripe King is a tiger that's as big and tall as a horse.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In "The PJ Riders Save the Day", their jealousy led to them destroying the machine used to bring back the vehicles, and the Speedy Twins using it to power their Gigantogarage and wreak havoc on the city. Fortunately in the end, they realized their mistake and used their own power to restore the vehicles themselves.
• Odd Name Out:
  • Cat Stripe King is the only Rider whose name is in three parts instead of two. He also has the animal part of his name come first unlike the others.
  • Eagle Owl is also the one to be named after an actual species.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Eagle Owl is the smallest of the Riders in terms of size and height, but she can still pack a punch.
• Shockwave Stomp: Power Lizard can shake the ground by merely stomping his feet.
• Thinking Up Portals: Cat Stripe King can create portals to Zoomzania thanks to his super speed.
• Uplifted Animal: Much like the PJ Pets, the Riders are far more intelligent than regular animals, being capable of understanding human speech and thinking for themselves.

Ivan/Ice Cub

A wheelchair bound boy who by night can become a polar bear themed superhero with powers over ice and snow. Debuts in the Season 6 premiere "Heroes Everywhere" as a new kid in school, eventually joining the PJ Masks alongside An Yu and Newton and causing the team to be renamed the Power Heroes.

---

• Ascended Fanboy: He is a huge fan of superheroes, and later becomes one himself.
• An Ice Person: He can create snowballs out of nothing, and fire a Freeze Ray from his hands.
• Animal Themed Super Being: A polar bear.
• Beary Friendly: Gets turned into a polar bear theme superhero from the astroid fragment, and still keeps his friendly attitude.
• Bear Hug: He can melt frozen objects by hugging them, thanks to the warmth radiating from his suit. He also gives an actual bear hug to Catboy at the end of "I Scream for Wolfies".
• Gentle Giant: He’s almost as big as Armadylan in his night hero form, but he’s a total sweetheart to everyone he meets.
• Handicapped Badass: Despite his paralyzed legs, he is a skilled athlete during the day and just as effective a hero during the night as the other PJ Masks.
• Implausible Boarding Skills: Due to his disability, his primary way of getting around as Ice Cub is by riding a snowboard, which can move over any surface, even on non-icy/snow ones.
• Incorruptible Pure Pureness: The asteroid fragment that gave him his powers was charged with evil energy, but unlike any of the villains it got in contact with and like Pirate Robot, it did not corrupt Ivan, instead granting him the ability to turn into a hero named Ice Cub the minute he put his pajamas on.
• I Just Want to Be Special: In "Iceworld", he travels to an icy realm to seek new power so that he'll have a cool story to tells the other PJ's.
• Logical Weakness:
  • Owing to his super sensitive nose, he can be incapacitated by strong odors. Night Ninja exploits this with his "stinky splat".
  • Heat also weakens his powers, another weakness Night Ninja exploits with "Splat 14".
• Magic Meteor: He got his powers due to a fragment of a supernatural asteroid getting embedded in his polar bear onesie before the PJ Masks, Newton and An Yu could stop it, though is the only victim of the asteroid to not become evil, as the villains who all acquired the asteroid (minus Pirate Robot) were made more powerful, with the original three villains gaining new outfits thanks to it.
• The Nose Knows: As Ice Cub, he has a heightened sense of smell.
• Top-Heavy Guy: In his superhero identity, he has a disproportionally large upper body compared to his legs, which may explain why he's almost the same size as Armadylan. Averted in his daytime appearance, which has his top half be the same size as those of his allies.
• Twofer Token Minority: He is the second black hero following Newton Star, and the first disabled character in the entire show.

Lilyfay

A space fairy who is the cartoon counterpart to Lilifée. Debuts in the episode of the same name, but doesn't join the Power Heroes proper until "Space Fairy Hero."

---

• Achilles' Heel: Grows weaker when she's not under the stars for a period of time.
• Adaptational Modesty: She wears a jumpsuit under her dress in the TV series, whereas her book counterpart does not.
• An Ice Person: She can create snowflakes, a power she claims she has because Space Is Cold.
• Batman Can Breathe in Space: Like Newton, she can freely travel through space without the need of a space suit or oxygen.
• Casual Interstellar Travel: In "Heroes of Ice World" it is stated she lives on the other end of the universe, yet she can travel from there to Earth and back every night.
• Cheerful Child: She has by far the most bubbly personality of all the heroes.
• The Ditz: Downplayed, but Catboy says that even when Lilyfay is with them, she seems to be in her own world.
• Flight: She can fly unaided thanks to her suit.
• Innocently Insensitive: Doesn't seem to realize that she's hurting Ice Cub's feelings when she doesn't take Ice World seriously.
• Naïve Newcomer: Is this in "Space Fairy Hero", as she doesn't know what it means to be a hero, nor does she know what a villain is. She is also revealed to have never been on Earth before. In "Lilyfay and The Lake", she learns that heroes make mistakes too.
• Our Fairies Are Different: She's a space fairy as plainly stated above.
• Super Drowning Skills: She mentions in "Space Fairy Hero" that she can't swim, and it's apparently a trait of all space fairies.

Bastet

The cartoon counterpart to the catgirl hero of the same name from "Les Pyjamasques et la momie d’Apophis" part 2 (albeit without the cape) and a humanoid sun cat; a hero who by her own admission was magically created, presumably by the sun god Ra, specifically to fight evil pharaohs like Pharaoh Boy. Debuts in the Season 6 episode "It's a Cat Thing."

---

• Animal Themed Super Being: A serval.
• Arch-Enemy: To Pharaoh Boy, even though they likely fought before "It's a Cat Thing."
• Dislikes the New Guy: After Armadylan joins the group in "The Curse of Armadylan", she spends most of the episode acting rather hostile towards him due to mistaking him for an ancient armadillo villain, even attacking him with her Sun Disc. She eventually warms up to him when he helps her defeat Pharaoh Boy.
• Furry Reminder: She behaves like an actual cat even moreso than Catboy, including walking on all fours, nuzzling up against PJ Robot, making feline vocalizations, and even grooming herself like a cat.
• Irony: All her powers are based around the sun, despite her being a nighttime hero like her teammates.
• Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Her Sun Disc can act as a shield.
• Older Than They Look: Like An Yu, she looks like a child but is likely a woman thousands of years old, considering she was depicted on an ancient Egyptian stone tablet alongside Pharaoh Boy.
• The Power of the Sun: She's a Sun Cat, who wields the Sun Disc as her primary weapon and whose powers all resolve around the sun.
• Thinking Up Portals: Her Sun Disc can turn into a portal that allows her to instantly travel anywhere.
• Twofer Token Minority: She is the first female black hero in the show, and the third black hero overall after Newton Star and Ice Cub.

Nighttime Villains

General

• Card-Carrying Villain: The villains are not above admitting that they are evil, and what they do is bad.
• Enfant Terrible: It can be assumed they are all or close to six years old and they're villains.
• Evil Counterpart: Merchandise for the show has a tendency to pair them with the PJ Masks. Specifically Romeo with Catboy, Luna Girl with Owlette, and Night Ninja with Gekko.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Romeo, Luna Girl and Night Ninja are sometimes this towards their minions. Examples include Romeo to his Robot in “Nobody's Sidekick”, Luna Girl to her moths in “Catboy and the Butterfly Bridage”, and Night Ninja to his Ninjalinos in “Owlette and the Owletteenies”.
• Dub Name Change: Similar to the PJ Masks, they all have different names in the original French book series.
  • Romeo gets a last name in the form of "Mécano".
  • Luna Girl is Sorceline.
  • Night Ninja is Ninjaka and the Ninjalinos are Ninjazouaves.
• Moral Myopia:
  • They freely lie, cheat and steal, but upon being defeated, they will often claim that it's "not fair."
  • In "The PJ Masks Save Christmas," Romeo is outraged that he is on Santa's naughty list, and attempts to destroy Christmas in return.
  • In "The Prank Wheelz," the Wolfies freely prank everyone without a care. But when they get pranked by the PJ Masks, they take it as a grave insult, and seek immediate Revenge.
• Out of Focus: With the introduction of more villains each season, the original 3 Nighttime Villains (Romeo, Night Ninja and Luna Girl) have gradually gotten less screen time.
• Rogues Gallery: To the PJ Masks.
• Sissy Villain: Romeo's is very flamboyant. His mannerisms tend to lean on the more feminine side, making him yet another queercoded villian.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: If some remains of their handiwork are seen during the day, then usually just Conner, Amaya, and Greg notice it.
• Villain Team-Up: They mainly act on their own but have sometimes combined their specialties to cause problems. Best examples include "Halloween Tricksters" (between Luna Girl, Night Ninja and The Wolfy Kids) and "PJ Masks vs Bad Guys United" (between Romeo, Luna Girl and Night Ninja).

Luna Girl, Motsuki and the moths

A mysterious girl obsessed with the moon. She commands an army of moths, one of which is eventually turned into her surrogate sister Motsuki.

---

• Annoying Younger Sibling: Motsuki acts as one to Luna Girl after becoming humanoid and being adopted by Luna as her little sister. Exaggerated in "Luna Goes Too Far," when the both of them decided to go their separate ways, even though they're now more like enemies than sisters, which lasted all the way up until "Luna's Moon Attack."
• Bad Boss: Luna Girl frequently insults her moths and often tries to replace them even after she promised she wouldn't in one episode. In "Ninja Moths" they actually attempt to kill her and in "Catboy and the Butterfly Brigade" they try to leave her.
• Batman Can Breathe in Space: Anytime the characters visit the moon, Luna Girl has no trouble breathing while there. Unlike the PJ Masks, who need to wear helmets, and (in "Moon Breaker") Romeo, who had to stay inside his lab. The season 3 episode "Best Friends Forever" reveals that it's the luna magnet that grants her this ability; when the magnet began to run out of power while Luna Girl was out in space, she had to hold her breath. Motsuki also has this power.
• Beast Woman: Motsuki after her second transformation in "Moth on the Moon."
• Be Careful What You Wish For: Luna Girl wanted Motsuki to become like a little sister to her after her second transformation. She got her wish; the two frequently argue, and with her new powers Motsuki can take command over the other moths away from Luna. It comes to a conflict in the Season 5 episode "Luna Goes Too Far," when she and Motsuki have a huge falling out and split up, until they finally make up again in "Luna's Moon Attack."
• Color-Coded Characters: Luna Girl dresses entirely in black.
• Damsel in Distress: Despite being a villain, Luna Girl needs help when she is kidnapped, trapped, or falling off something.
• Demoted to Extra: As of late-Season 3 and onwards, the moths will now make less appearances after the PJ's accidentally turned Motsuki into a moth girl in "Moth on the Moon."
• The Dragon: Motsuki served this role to Luna Girl after her first transformation. Averted after the second transformation, when she became Luna Girl's equal.
• Exposed Animal Belly Button: While it's not clearly noticeable, Motsuki might just so happen to have one among the details on her tummy.
• Expy: Luna Girl's character design appears to be a pastiche/combination of Green Goblin and Black Cat.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: While they do tend to argue with one another, Luna Girl genuinely cares about her sister and the sentiment is reciprocated.
  • This has since been averted in "Luna Goes Too Far," however, although this would be gained back in "Luna's Moon Attack."
• Evil Wears Black: As stated above, Luna Girl's outfit of choice is entirely black.
• Females Are More Innocent: Compared to Night Ninja and Romeo, Luna Girl is nicer and more willing to bond with the PJ Masks.
• Frame-Up: To Gekko in two episodes, Luna Girl steals Cameron's toy car and frames Greg (Gekko) for losing it in "Gekko's Blame Campaign", and also in "Moth on the Moon" she frames him for doing something wrong (in this case, knocking down Amaya's (Owlette's) telescope) and causes her and Connor (Catboy) to blame him for doing it so that Motsuki can turn human.
• Friendly Enemy: Luna is occasionally nice to the Masks, and they to her. In the short "Moon Rocked", the masks even threw her a surprise party for her birthday. Luna also falls into this with Night Ninja and occasionally Romeo as they team sometimes but normally argue and insult each other while doing so.
• Gone Horribly Wrong: Powering up Motsuki to her final form gave Luna a "sister" who is more powerful than she is. As a result, Motsuki often overpowers Luna Girl and hijacks her plans, which eventually goes into a conflict in "Luna Goes Too Far" but they eventually got back together in "Luna's Moon Attack."
• Green-Eyed Monster: A lot of Luna Girl's crimes are done simply because they involve events she is unable to be a part of due to happening at daytime, leading to her mindset of "If I can't do/have it, neither can they."
• Hover Board: Luna Girl's Luna Board.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Towards her moths, her sister Motsuki, and even the PJ Masks sometimes.
• Lesser of Two Evils: In Season 1 Luna Girl can be seen as this compared to Romeo and Night Ninja. While the two other villains' schemes often revolve around Take Over the World tactics and proving their superiority, she mostly just steals things so she can play with them, with no greater plan usually involved. On several occasions, the PJ Masks have been able to negotiate a truce with her, or convince her to halt her plans by giving her something that she would like.
  • Averted hard in season 2 and 3 where she is far more homicidal and murderous toward the PJ Masks such as in "Moon Madness where she outright attempts to leave Catboy stranded in space where he will die for sure despite him wearing a helmet. However, she still remains as an anti-hero and somewhat nice to the PJ Masks, despite her changes in the seasons, and she even saved the PJ Masks when they were trapped in space in "Best Friends Forever."
• Lunacy: The moon is her main motif and her powers increase significantly during a harvest moon or when she has a moon crystal.
• Macabre Moth Motif: Luna has an army of moths that [usually] follow her every action. Motsuki is a humanoid moth.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Masculine Girl to Romeo's Feminine Boy.
• Minor Living Alone: Since she got Motsuki as as sister, who has the power to teleport between the moon and back, Luna has permanently taken up residence in her fortress on the moon.
• Mook Promotion: Motsuki started out as just one of Luna Girls' many nameless moths, until Luna Girl used the moon crystal to give her a new appearance and some powers so she could become her dragon. Then, in "Moth on the Moon", she helped Motsuki undergo a complete metamorphosis into a more humanoid looking insect to act as her surrogate little sister.
• Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Motsuki in her humanoid form has four arms.
• New Powers as the Plot Demands: The only consistent things about Luna Girl's magnet are its ability to fire beams that allow her to levitate objects and create forcefields. Otherwise, it can do whatever the plot requires it to do (i.e make the moths grow gigantic, create an impenetrable dome, hypnotize people, etc.), often with that new power only appearing in one episode, never to be seen or mentioned again.
• Non-Human Sidekick: Luna Girl has a large swarm of moths as her mooks.
• Pest Controller: Luna controls a swarm of moths. Motsuki can likewise command them.
• Psychic Powers: Her Luna Magnet allows her to use a form of this; it can fire a beam that lets her levitate anything it touches into the air.
• Ridiculously Cute Critter: Motsuki, both as a moth and a humanoid with a cute smile and a pair of big◊, cute purple eyes◊ despite her arrogant personality and the fact most fans think of her as "creepy."
• The Scapegoat: She tries to shift blame for her actions onto Gekko in the episode "Gekko's Blame Campaign", where she sets him up to take the blame by wrecking the city and the episode "Moth On The Moon", where she has her moths do several things setting him up to take the blame. Then in the episode "Owlette Comes Clean" she steals a telescope, setting Owlette up for breaking the lens.
• See the Invisible: The episode "Catboy's Tricky Ticket" has her spot an invisible Gekko right in front of her.
  Luna Girl: That looks like that loopy lizard!
• Self-Serving Memory: In "Motsuki the Best", Luna shows Motsuki portraits of some of her old schemes, albeit altered to make it look like they succeeded.
• The Smurfette Principle: Luna Girl was the only female Nighttime Villain, until Rip of the Wolfy Kids was introduced in Season 2.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: She's a dark tomboy to Owlette's good-hearted girly girl.
• Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Loves playing soccer, reading comics (like Amaya/Owlette), can ice skate since "Gekko Saves Christmas," going to slumber parties, and having tea parties.
• Tomboy: Can sit like a boy as seen in "Heroes of the Sky."
• Took a Level in Jerkass: Luna Girl goes from the least evil villain in season one to being far more murderous and homicidal in seasons 2 and 3, though back to being a least evil villain in season 4.
• Verbal Tic: Motsuki tends to begin or end her sentences with a loud, moth-like squeak.
• Vocal Evolution: In Season 2, Luna Girl's voice noticeably becomes lower-pitched.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: Despite being mentioned in the summary for "Where's the Wolf Wheelz?", Motsuki is completely absent in said episode.
• White Hair, Black Heart: Well, silver hair in Luna's case, but otherwise it's this trope.
• Wicked Witch: Luna Girl's original French name, "Sorceline," is a play on the French word for "witch." The French version of the series refers to her as such.

Night Ninja and the Ninjalinos

A young ninja. He commands his own army of smaller ninja's named Ninjalino's.

---

• Adorable Evil Minions: The Ninjalinos, with how they're smaller than our heroes and villains, speak gibberish and pretty accident-prone.
• Ambiguously Human: The Ninjalinos have a humanoid appearance, and some of them are revealed to have names, but there is still the fact that they talk in their own gibberish, are smaller than even the other kid characters (with Teeny Weeny being unnaturally small at only a couple of inches), and we never see what they look like underneath their masks.
• Color-Coded Characters: Teal for Night Ninja, purple for the Ninjalinos.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Night Ninja's bark is far worse than his bite, and it's usually his Ninjalinos who do all the work and while he may be Small Name, Big Ego, he certainly isn't to be underestimated; on several occasions he's been able to easily outmaneuver the PJ Masks with moves that would put the most skilled acrobats to shame, he's quite accurate with his "sticky splats" and if the episode "Gekko and the Rock of All Power" is any indication, his strength may rival Gekko's.
• Depending on the Writer: It is unclear exactly how many Ninjalinos there are. Their numbers vary from episode to episode, ranging from only 3 to over a dozen.
• Dirty Coward: Night Ninja doesn't have the guts to face An Yu directly, either arranging for others to attack her, or stealing artifacts from Mystery Mountain in an attempt to even the playing field.
• Dreadful Musician: The episode "Catboy's Great Gig" has him singing with the Ninjalino's as his band, but Night Ninja is so bad at singing that he breaks the school windows and the lampposts as well.
• Dude, Where's My Reward?: The episode "Meet An Yu" has him return the dragon gong to mystery mountain, freeing the dragon in the process, and at the end he is sent back down the mountain by her without a reward. Of course he did try to steal magical artifacts from the mountain, so it's only right for Night Ninja not to receive a reward.
• Entitled Bastard: He believes he deserves whatever he seeks, considering it his by right, despite being unwilling to go through the effort required to attain it.
• Expy: Night Ninja appears to be a combination/pastiche of Spider-Man and Doctor Doom.
• Frame-Up: To the PJ Masks in "Armadylan Menace". Night Ninja frames the Masks for stealing the the new Flossy Flash comics, causing Armadylan to blame them and turn against them for their supposed crime.
• Friendly Enemy: The Ninjalinos and Night Ninja sometimes get along pretty well with the heroes. They are also this with Luna Girl and Romeo as they team up with them every so often but usually argue while doing so.
• Gratuitous Ninja: Is this to the show, which is set in modern times but features a ninja anyway.
• Highly-Visible Ninja: He really likes to be in the spotlight.
• Lazy Bum: In several episodes, he makes others do all the work for him, so he can claim the reward without effort.
• Laughably Evil: Some of the expressions he makes, coupled with the antics the Ninjalinos get him into, make him pretty entertaining to watch.
• Law of Chromatic Superiority: Night Ninja is dark blue in contrast to the Ninjalinos' purple. In season 6, he gets red flame designs on his outfit.
• Make a Wish: The season 2 episode "The Dragon Gong" has him steal the titular gong and the mallet that activates it. He then uses it to wish for An Yu (in dragon form) who resides inside the gong to attack the PJ Masks. When she orders him to return the mallet he refuses, and uses her for his own selfish purposes, which she's not too happy about.
• Mind over Matter: In season 2, he and the Ninjalinos gain the "Ninja Fingers" technique, allowing them to levitate things.
• Mini Mook: The Ninjalinos basically look like miniature versions of Night Ninja.
• Never My Fault: Night Ninja is quick to blame the Ninjalinos when his plans fail. Sometimes justified, as there were occasions when his plans DID fail because of them.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: He is the one who released An Yu by bringing the dragon gong to Mystery Mountain.
• Psychic Powers: The Ninja Fingers technique, which allows Night Ninja and the Ninjalinos to levitate entire buildings up into the sky.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Manly Man to Romeo's Sensitive Guy.
• Small Name, Big Ego: Most of Night Ninja's schemes involve proving he's the greatest and most skilled person around.
• Sticky Situation: Their weapon is sticky splat, a substance that acts like super tough glue and comes in various forms.
• The Unintelligible: Ninjalinos speak in gibberish, with occasional words thrown in.

Romeo and his robots

A young inventor set on conquoring the world. His main sidekick is a robot simply named Robot.

---

• A.I. Is a Crapshoot: While his robots are usually loyal, they can turn on him on occasion. The two most famous examples being PJ Robot, who joined the heroes, and Pirate Robot, who was originally created to be a chef.
• Bad Boss: Not nearly to the extent of Luna Girl and Night Ninja, but he sometimes talks down to his robots, and blames them for his defeats.
• Benevolent Boss: Sometimes toward Robot such as in "Nobody's Sidekick", "PJ Masks Save Christmas" and "Christmas Time with PJ Masks".
• Bowel-Breaking Bricks: In "Wolfy Riders", one of the Fly Bots deposits a small nut when Cat Stripe King roars at it.
• Big Bad: The most frequent villain to appear in the series and was the first one to appear too.
• Brainy Brunette: Has black hair and relies on inventions of his own creation to make trouble.
• Color-Coded Characters: White.
• Cut Lex Luthor a Check: He could easily make an honest living developing some advanced technology, if only he didn't waste it all on trying to take over the world.
• A Dog Named "Dog": Robot is well, a robot.
• Enemy Mine: Along with sometimes teaming up with Luna Girl and Night Ninja he has this with the PJ Masks in "PJ Masks save Christmas" and with PJ Robot only in "PJ Robot vs Romeo".
• Evil Knockoff: The Fly Bots are essentially evil versions of PJ Robot, looking just like how PJ Robot did when Romeo first made him, but having none of his personality.
• Child Prodigy: Is around the same age as the PJ Masks, and has built some seriously advanced machines.
• Darkest Hour: In the Season 4 premiere "Heroes of the Sky," Romeo imperils the PJ's entire mission and berids Owlette of her hero memories and powers, but was eventually stopped by Catboy, Gekko and Luna Girl before he could clone his Sky Factory completely to destroy Earth.
• Dread Zeppelin: His Sky Factory, which debuts in season 3.
• Evil Genius: Is a young scientist villain.
• Evil Laugh: Quite a lot. Though given his age, it comes off more as an Annoying Laugh.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: On more than one occasion he failed because his inventions backfired on him.
• Fatal Flaw: Like Catboy, his is Pride. He's utterly convinced of his own genius and skill as a villain, leading him to overestimate himself. For example in "Romeocoaster", he tried to take on not only the PJ Masks, but Armadylan and all the other Nighttime Villains as well, which ends up with him having to face a very angry Armadylan, Luna Girl & Night Ninja while the PJ's (who are accompanied by the Wolfies) shout their victory catchphrase.
• Friendly Enemy: In the second Christmas episode, he eventually teamed up with the PJ Masks.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Relies on inventions he created to cause mischief in the city.
• Insufferable Genius: He's so full of himself that when he stole Gekko's voice he used it to constantly say praises about him, much to Gekko's chagrin.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: To Robot sometimes like in “Nobody’s Sidekick”, "PJ Masks Save Christmas" and "Christmas time with PJ Masks". And even the PJ Masks In “PJ Masks Save Christmas", PJ Robot vs Romeo" and "Christmas Time With The PJ Masks".
• Mad Scientist: A child version.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Feminine Boy to Luna Girl's Masculine Girl.
• Mind-Control Music: In "Romeo's Melody", he composes a tune that hypnotizes people and animals to use as slaves for his Flying Factory.
• Narcissist:
  • In "Owlette and the Flash Flip Trip", he altered every picture book in town to contain images of himself.
  • In "Gekko and the Mighty Moon Problem", he used a stolen laser to try and carve an image of his own face on the moon.
• Never Recycle Your Schemes: Defied. Romeo has no qualms about using old inventions and plans again.
• Red Herring: He throws The PJ Masks off of his trail twice:
  • In the episode "Romeo's Crystal Clear Plan" he steals a moon crystal from The PJ Masks HQ, leading them into believing that Luna Girl is the culprit. However it turns out that she wasn't, as she was reading a book at the time of the theft, although she does get her revenge on the PJ's for blaming her the second she gets her crystal back.
  • Then in the episode "The Lizard Theft" he throws The PJ Masks off by releasing Lionel from his cage and then having Robot plant fake evidence in the form of a wolf howl and paw prints, which point towards The Wolfy Kids. The fact that they are seen using butterfly nets to catch Luna Girl's moths, makes them look even more suspicious. However it turns out that The Wolfy Kids had nothing to do with Lionel being out of his cage, and the reason that they were trying to catch the moths, was because said moths were tickling their noses and making them sneeze.
• Robot Master: He has a robot that operates as his sidekick sometimes. He has also created several more during his appearances; including the robotic counterparts of the PJ Masks, a robot that can steal voices, Robette, and an army of PJ Robot knock-offs called the Fly Bots.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive Guy to Night Ninja's Manly Man.
• Small Name, Big Ego: Not so much as Night Ninja, but he still believes himself to be the greatest inventor of all time, considering all of his inventions to be perfect and dismissing things that weren't invented by him.
  • In one episode, he replaces all text in books with images of his own self expecting to instantly be recognized; only for everyone else in town but the PJ Masks to question who exactly he even was.^note Not helping matters is that he never even bothered to caption his pictures with his name, and even worse was that he was actually illiterate.
• Take Over the World: He states in almost all of his appearances that this is his final goal.
• Trademark Favourite Food: He's fond of ice cream, especially double tofu pistachio.

The Wolfy Kids

Three young werewolf siblings.

---

• Bullying a Dragon: The episode "The Prank Wheelz" has them come across Armadylan at a restaurant, when Howler decides to use a drink cup and a rubber duck to play a prank on him. Needless to say Armadylan's not very happy at being pranked and uses "Rolling Thunder" to chase after them. Even Gekko (who was watching their prank on video at HQ) says that pranking him was a bad idea.
• Catchphrase: "Yip-Yip-Yaroo!", and "Wolfin' It Up!". "Shackadoodle" also pops up occasionally.
• Childish Tooth Gap: Howler has a visible one.
• Does Not Like Spam: As shown in "Easter Wolfies", Howler and Rip hate raw onions and potatoes, respectively. It is unknown what Kevin hates, though.
• Eyes Out of Sight: Kevin's hair completely covers his eyes. Promotional images and merchandise give him one eye visible. While a scene from the episode "Moonwolfy", has both eyes visible.
• In a Single Bound: They can leap great distances.
• Leitmotif: An electric guitar.
• Odd Name Out: Their names are Howler, Rip... and Kevin.
• Our Werewolves Are Different: Physically, they mostly resemble the beastman version of werewolves (human looking, but with claws on their hands and feet, sharp teeth, pointy ears and long messy hair). They also display typical wolf behaviour like running on all fours, howling, and biting, but can also walk on their hind legs, and are still capable of human speech.
• Put on a Bus: They were thought to be completely absent in Season 5, with series creator Christian De Vita confirming we wouldn't see them again until Season 6. Of course, this was quickly averted when the episode "Trick or Treat" premiered, which had the Wolfies make a cameo, with Armadylan being given this trope instead.
• Sibling Team: While it's not explicitly stated in the show itself, series creator Christian De Vita confirmed the Wolfies are siblings.
• The Ditz: Kevin is the dumbest of the entire cast by a long shot.
• The Nose Knows: Sort of a requirement of lycanthropy.
• The Smurfette Principle: While Rip is not the only female nighttime villain, she's the only girl in the Wolfy Kids team.
• Super-Scream: They can weaponize their howl.
• Terrible Trio: The team consists of 3 members, Rip, Howler and Kevin.
• Token Good Teammate: Kevin is the least evil of the 3, which is the main point in the episode "The Good Wolfy”.
• Tom the Dark Lord: One of them is simply called Kevin.
• Trademark Favourite Food: Kevin mentions that he likes hot dogs and pink marshmallows in “Halloween Tricksters” and "Wolfy Mountain", respectively. Also, if "The Wolfies Take HQ" is anything to go by, Rip likes strawberries.
• Waxing Lyrical: The episode "Wolfy Powers" has them do this with the Theme Song for the show, with them replacing the words (for instance "I can't think of a rhyme!" becomes "And WOLFIN' IT UP!" followed by a bewildered Gekko saying "that doesn't even rhyme!")
• Werewolf Theme Naming: Played straight with Howler and Rip, but averted with Kevin.

Munki-Gu

A monkey that was sealed in stone for the same amount of years as when An Yu was trapped in her gong for being too naughty until he is accidentally set free by Gekko. A real troublemaker, nobody is safe from his pranks.

---

• Animal Supervillain: He's a monkey, and one of the nighttime villains.
• Banana Peel: One of his favorite pranks. Fitting, since bananas are his Trademark Favorite Food.
• Mischief-Making Monkey: He's a monkey supervillain that only lives for causing mischief.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: He was trapped in the form of a statue for 1000 years, but is set free again due to Night Ninja's actions in "PJ Party Mountain" and Gekko accidentally patting the statue on the head three times.
• Talking Animal: He can speak English, and is thus able to communicate with the human characters.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Bananana's.
• Tricked-Out Shoes: He wears a pair of boots that allow him to fly.
• Put on a Bus: He is one of two villains absent from Season 6, the other one being Orticia.
• Voice Changeling: He can perfectly mimic other peoples voices.
• Wild Card: Easily the most unpredictable of the Nighttime Villains. He only cares for pulling pranks, tricking people and otherwise cause mayhem, but can be reasoned with. He also just as easily pranks other Nighttime villains as the heroes, and can switch alliances on a whim.

Octobella and Percival

A young cecaelia living in the moat in the park, and her lobster sidekick who is usually mistaken as a shrimp. She develops a personal grudge against Gekko after he took some power pondweed from the moat, which she considered to be hers after he told her about it.

---

• Arch-Enemy: To Gekko, making her the only Nighttime villain so far who serves this role to a single PJ Mask rather than the whole team.
• Bad Boss: Though not as bad as Luna Girl, in the episode "Magnet in the Moat," she is seen regularly antagonizing Percival, much to his annoyance.
• Berserk Button: Whatever you do, never, EVER, steal her pondweed.
• Dreadful Musician: She doesn't have a good singing voice. Yet Armadylan complemented it when he first heard it.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Her tentacle was briefly seen at the end of the season 3 episode "Gekko Everywhere," albeit in a more dark yellowish hue. The tip wasn't glowing either, and was more of a sky blue than aqua.
• Even Evil Has Standards: For all that she enjoys messing with others, she seems to dislike cowardice, as seen when she confronted Gekko for trying to hide from her instead of face her in a fight.
• Faux Affably Evil: Her main M.O. when meeting someone new is to present herself as a kind girl that just wants to be friends, but it's all an act to hide her true, villainous nature, and she will turn on her new friends the moment she has them right where she wants them.
• Femme Fatale Spy: She acted like this to Armadylan so she can use him to mend her crystal garden and then get him to find the crystal she needs to turn the PJ Masks into her garden gnomes.
• It's Personal: She has a personal vendetta against Gekko because of the events in the season 3 episode "Power Pondweed," where Romeo took the titular Power Pondweed, which Octobella considers to be her property and puts the blame on Gekko (who was only trying to return it to the moat) despite her initially not knowing about it until he tells her about it.
• Making a Splash: Octobella can control the water she is in to create powerful whirlpools. Her crystal allows her to shoot blasts of water. In a deleted scene from the storyboard for "Octobella's Garden," however, she used to spray "Octo-Ink" at the PJ Masks before it was changed to using her crystal.
• Misplaced Retribution: Blames Gekko for stealing her pondweed, despite the fact he was trying to return it to her, and Romeo being the true culprit.
• Power Crystal: She has an entire collection of Crystals. Among them are one that allows her to shoot powerful blasts of water at her opponents and trap them in more crystals, and one that lets her shapeshift into others.
• Super-Scream: She can unleash sonic screams while underwater.
• Stealthy Cephalopod: She can turn invisible.
• Tentacled Terror: She is an octopus-girl/cecaelia, so naturally she has tentacles.

Pharaoh Boy

A young pharaoh from ancient Egypt. He returned from the World Beyond to try and conquer the world.

---

• Adaptational Attractiveness: He is loosely based on Apophis, the antagonist from the "Les Pyjamasques et la momie d’Apophis" two-parter. But unlike Apophis, who looked more like a typical mummy, Pharaoh Boy has no bandages covering his face, which in turn shows no signs of decay. Despite this, he is still named after Apophis in the French dub.
• Adaptational Wimp: While he certainly has several magic abilities, he doesn't have some of his book counterpart's more impressive powers. Apophis was basically a god with the power to turn into a giant, mummified snake, and use his bandages as a weapon.
• Another Dimension: When he's not in the city causing trouble, Pharaoh Boy resides in the World Beyond, which he can enter and leave through a portal in a sphinx statue.
• Grand Theft Me: He can possess animals (or at least cats), and can also forcefully inflict this on others.
• Fish out of Temporal Water: Much like An Yu, the fact that he hails from ancient times makes him unfamiliar with the modern world. Unlike her however, he doesn't let this stop him from going out into the city.
• Mind-Control Device: His Staff of Ra, with which he can control people, robots and even objects.
• Mummy: He is a living mummy. This being a preschool-show, he doesn't look as scary as most mummies. His face for example is not covered in bandages.
• New Powers as the Plot Demands: Much like Luna Girl's magnet, Pharaoh Boy's Staff of Ra can do whatever the plot of the episode requires it to do.
• Noodle Incident: Apparently, he had once been turned into a frog for 300 years by an ancient armadillo-themed villain.
• Oh, My Gods!: He frequently invokes the various Egyptian gods, especially Ra.
• Power Parasite: With the Staff of Ra, Pharaoh Boy can take away other characters' powers for his own use. They always end up being returned to the proper owner before the end of the episode, though.
• Serpent Staff: His staff of Ra is shaped like a cobra.
• The Rival: To Romeo, since they both want to rule the world. He is also later revealed to be Bastet's archenemy.
• Take Over the World: The second villain in the show who wishes to rule the world, after Romeo.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Seems to have a fondness for banana smoothies.
• Undead Child: He may not look as creepy as most examples of this trope, but considering he is a mummy and hails from a dimension implied to be the afterlife, he is one of these nonetheless.

Orticia

The cartoon counterpart to the plant character of the same name, she is a plant creature created by Romeo in "Orticia Blooms" who later becomes friends with the PJ's in "Pondweed Party."

---

• Adaptational Backstory Change: Downplayed. Like in the book, she was created by Romeo out of a seed and some chemicals. However, in the book Night Ninja (called Ninjaka in France) also played a part in her creation; he tried to steal Romeo's invention to grow a bamboo forest, and in their struggle the villains ended up spilling the chemicals, creating Orticia.
• Adaptational Villainy: Her book counterpart was more a case of Not Evil, Just Misunderstood, who only fought the PJ Masks because they attacked her, and she eventually took their advice to use her powers to make the city prettier with her flowers. Here, she is a villain who didn't care how much trouble her plants cause and was initially unwilling to listen to the PJ's.
• Dreadful Musician: Averted; the episode "Orticia and the Pumpkins" shows that she is actually great at singing compared to Octobella.
• Eco-Terrorist: A G-rated version. She (initially) only cares about growing her plants wherever she wants, regardless of who or what gets in her way.
• Fertile Feet: She can make plants grow by merely walking.
• Expy: She's essentially a G-rated version of Poison Ivy.
• Friendly Enemy: She ends up befriending the PJ Masks in "Pondweed Party" after she helps them defeat Octobella. She's the first villain preceding Pirate Robot whom the PJ's enjoy hanging out with.
• Green Thumb: Her primary power; she can instantly cause plants to grow.
• Pink Means Feminine: The only clothing she wears is a pink coat.
• Plant Person: A humanoid plant girl.
• Put on a Bus: Despite being introduced in Season 5, Orticia does not return for the season after, as her actress Markeda McKay is not mentioned in the credits.
• When Trees Attack: Thanks to her power over plants, she can invoke this trope.

Pirate Robot, Hornswoggle & Sally

A Pirate Robot accidentally created by Romeo when Night Ninja disrupted his attempts at making a chef. Acts and talks like a stereotypical pirate. He is accompanied by a rubber chicken that behaves like a typical Pirate Parrot, and later gains a former fly bot named Sally as a crewmember.

---

• A.I. Is a Crapshoot:
  • Pirate Robot was supposed to be a chef for Romeo, but after becoming a pirate instead, he immediately ditched his creator to become a villain in his own right.
  • Sally used to be a normal Fly Bot named Flybot337B, until, inspired by Pirate Robot, she rebelled against Romeo and joined Pirate Robot.
• Cool Boat: In his second episode, Pirate Robot builds himself a flying pirate ship named the Spanner of the Skies.
• Distracted by the Sexy: Pirate Robot admires Owlette and calls her "Pirate Queen." (Not to be confused with Risky Boots, the self-titled "queen of the seven seas.")
• Dressed to Plunder: Downplayed; he wears a pirate hat decorated with the traditional skull and crossed bones, but is otherwise not dressed due to being a robot.
• Friendly Enemy: Pirate Robot is easily one of the nicest nighttime villains, and one of the two the PJ's actually like to hang out with compared to all of the other villains (including Kevin).
• Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Like most of the other villains, Pirate Robot ends up getting an asteroid fragment in the Season 6 premiere "Heroes Everywhere," which he mistakes as gold. However, unlike the other villains, who were charged with black magic upon each of them getting one, he and his ship remain virtually unchanged, and it is revealed in the episode "Pirate Ice Storm" that the magic from the new HQ is what gives his ship more power instead.
• Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: A pirate robot (and a Ninja had a hand in his creation)
• Pirate Parrot: Played with; Hornswoggle is a rubber chicken, but still serves this purpose.
• Pirates vs. Ninjas: Anytime he meets Night Ninja.
• Talk Like a Pirate: Being a stereotypical pirate, he naturally talks in this manner, though usually with a small twist on the usual phrases to reflect the fact that he is a robot^note For example; rather than "Shiver me timbers", he says "Shiver me circuits"

The Speedy Twins - Carly and Cartoka

Two humanoid aliens from Zoomzania; both of them only live to race, and to constantly upgrade their Flashcar to get even faster.

---

• Aerith and Bob: Carly is a common name in real life, while Cartoka is not.
• Badass Driver: Carly is the driver of the duo, who pilots the Flashcar. And she is good at it.
  • Cartoka also fits into this, as he pilots the Gigantogarage.
• The Bad Guy Wins: In their debut episode, they managed to steal and wreck all of the PJ Masks vehicles, with the heroes ultimately being unable to retrieve them and gaining the PJ Riders as a result despite the fact Catboy said that they'll get their vehicles back soon.
  • However, the PJ Masks finally retrieved and repaired their Thememobiles in "The PJ Riders Save the Day," complete with new powers similar to the ones the PJ's gained in "PJ Power Up,".
• Brother–Sister Team: A villainous version; they are twins.
• Catchphrase: "Zoom, zoom, zoom."
• Excessive Evil Eyeshadow: Carly has red marking around her eyes that resemble eyeliner.
• Expressive Mask: When they're driving their vehicles, they wear helmets with black visors, with an electronic mouth and eyes projected on them so the viewer can still tell when they talk and see their facial expressions.
• Four-Fingered Hands: They both only have 3 fingers per hand.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Cartoka is the mechanic of the duo, who constantly searches for new parts to upgrade the Flashcar and uses the Gigantogarage to destroy entire vehicles.
• Humanoid Alien: They look human, but with blue skin.
• It's Personal: Between "Carly and Cartoka" and "The PJ Riders Save the Day", the PJ's had a personal score to settle with the Twins with help from the former three's new PJ Rider friends due to the latter two stealing parts of the PJ Vehicles, rendering them useless. Averted in the latter after they get their thememobiles back, as in the 4-part special "Heroes of the Road," the PJ's end up teaming up with the Twins in order to save the PJ Riders and Newton from Bad Guys United (now known in that episode as the Terrible Trio).

Gloop the Third and the Gloopets

An alien from a different galaxy, who comes to Earth through a black hole. Along with his henchmen, the Gloopets, he wants to cover the Earth in his purple goo named "Gloop".

---

• Aliens Are Bastards: He loves covering everything in Gloop, and that is the sole reason he came to Earth.
• Aliens Speaking English: Averted for the Gloopets, who speak in their own language. Gloop the Third does speak English, but this is clearly stated to be thanks to a translator built into his suit.
• Heel–Face Turn: Being double-crossed by Romeo and nearly having his home planet destroyed leads to him allying himself with the Power Heroes.
• Orcus on His Throne: While Gloop the Third does personally oversee his plans, he mostly lets the Gloopets do the fighting rather than getting his own hands dirty.
• Pet the Dog: Despite his annoyance at the Gloopets screwing things up, the season six finale shows that he really does care about them.

Civilians

Cameron

• Ambiguously Brown: When compared to his sister. Said sister has been seen holding the hand of a black woman which we can assume is their mother which could mean they are of mixed race or adopted.
• Color-Coded Characters: Orange.
• Demoted to Extra: As of Season 4 and onwards, Cameron is reduced from a minor character to a background character with occasional appearances, likely due to the amounts of backlash the show got for his personality.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's rough around the edges, but he's on good terms with his classmates.

Teacher

• Cool Teacher: The PJ Masks certainly consider him one, judging by their reactions in "Teacher Goes Ninja". That episode he qualified, though in an evil way, by temporarily becoming a skilled ninja.
• No Name Given: Is simply known as "Teacher."
• Real Men Wear Pink: His pyjamas are pink, with a strawberry pattern.

Jayden Housten

• The Ghost: Hasn't made a physical appearance in the show and is only recognized through posters.
• Vague Age: Could easily be a Teen Idol but might be in his early twenties.

Fictional characters

Master Fang

• Heroes Prefer Swords: His weapon of choice is a sword. One episode focussed on Night Ninja stealing it from the tv-show, and the PJ Masks had to get it back.
• Old Master: He's an old martial artist.

Kick McGee

• The Ghost: Frequently mentioned along with Master Fang, but so far he has never been seen.
• Sidekick: To Master Fang.

Flossy Flash

• Action Girl: A female hero who, if Amaya is to be believed, kan kick ass.
• Girl-Show Ghetto: In-Universe example that is played straight in season 1, where Amaya is the only character who is a fan of her. Averted as of Season 2, when Armadylan is revealed to be a fan as well.
• Purple Is Powerful: A powerful superheroine in an all purple costume.
• Telepathy: She can tell where people are simply by thinking.
