General Tropes[]
- Ace Pilot: Baloo is a situational bushwhacker/plugger; in open sky, he bushwhacks like a mofo via ridiculous aerial acrobatics, in mountains and cities he plugs like a bastard through terrain manipulation, both supplemented by occasional usage of Abnormal Ammo - pretty much the only option available to him, as he takes on waves of fightercraft with a cargo plane.
- Adaptational Badass: Bale's enhanced intelligence altered him from a regular Indian bear to an Animal Sapien and a highly competent Ace Pilot.
- Big, Thin, Short Trio: The Big to Rebecca's Thin and Kit's Short.
- Book Dumb: Originally as a bear, Baloo could barely read or write, but is extremely resourceful and street wise at times. "Sheepskin Deep" shows he was a grade-school dropout.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: He's lazy, slovenly, fiscally irresponsible, clumsy, never graduated grade school.... and is the best pilot you'll find anywhere.
- Chick Magnet: Throughout the show, he's actually quite popular with the ladies.
Cool Plane: The Sea Duck is Baloo's pride and joy. He's accomplished amazing things with it even though it's a cargo plane with no real weapons.
- Cool Starship:
- Determinator: He has the occasional Heroic BSoD, but overall he's unstoppable and suicidally fearless when pushed hard enough. Even when he thought he had days to live he continued with his goals.
