* SpannerInTheWorks: Onogoro and his minions already have Doraemon and gang trapped aboard the space station, but Hokuro, tasked with tying up everyone, couldn't bring himself to hurt Shizuka (since she was the only member on board who treats him ''decently''). SO he instead leaves a few notches loose allowing Shizuka to struggle free from her bonds and release Doraemon and the others.

* WouldntHurtAChild: The ''exact'' opposite of his boss. In the anime the final battle had him charging along with the other clones, but then he saw Shizuka, the nice girl who treats him with ''some'' decency while aboard the space station, at which point he decides just to drop his weapon and give up.

[[caption-width-right:250:In his rampaging form]]
[[[[spoiler:quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sowe1.PNG]]]]
[[caption-width-right:250:some caption text]]
The ''literal'' god who created the universe, before the dawn of time. Yeah, somehow God does exist in the Doraemon universe.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: When communicating with Nobita, the Sower assumes the form of a boy Nobita's age. When Nobita comments on how he thought "the creator of the universe would be more intimidating" the Sower then shapeshifts into an angry Tamako, scaring the bejesus out of Nobita before laughing at the fact that Nobita's afraid of his mother.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: When he shapeshifts into a giant stag beetle.
* BigGood: It turns out The Sower is the bringer and the creator of all life in the universe, including the Ranch Planet of LivingToys Nobita and gang find themselves in.
* DeusExMachina: Appears to save Nobita who had fallen down a chasm, provide some exposition, and then leaves.
* EnergyBeings: His default form is a solid mass of gold energy, though he circumvents around the issue by assuming various forms for himself.
* FertilityGod: He planted most of the life in the universe as experiments, including Earth and Mars before the beginning of time. However, he deems Mars a "failure" before moving on to other worlds.
* TheGreatSerpent: He briefly shape-shifts into a gigantic golden snake when trying to pursue everyone down a tunnel.
* GreenThumb: He can control plants from afar, using vines to lift Nobita from the chasm and in the finale distract Onigoro by creating leaf-people to trick him into shooting at nothing.
* LightningCanDoAnything: He uses lightning bolts from the heavens to bestow intelligence on the animals in the Egg Factory.
* PassingTheTorch: After his short conversation with Nobita (as he rescues the latter from falling down a chasm), he decide Nobita and gang are friends of the environment and is worthy of being keepers of the planet he created, at which point he willingly relegates the planet's ownership to them. It's quite likely he had witnessed Nobita and gang's actions in ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheKingdomOfClouds'' which inspired his decision.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can shapeshift into anything he wants, but his original form is a solid, formless mass of gold (which Onigoro and his underlings mistook for a gold deposit).

!! Pibu and Popi
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pi_po.PNG]]
A pair of toy pigs and the first toys who received intelligence courtesy of the Sower. They're elected to be the mayors of the Spiral City.
* BrainyPig: They're both toy pigs and among the most intelligent animals in the toy planet, elected to be the mayors of Spiral City and be left in charge of it's growth and development.
* NeverBareheaded: Pibu's always seen with his baseball cap with a "P" on it, while Popi's has her bow on all the time.
* UpliftedAnimal: Thanks to being bestowed intelligence by the Sower.
----
!! Ain Motain and Thomas Meedison
Two more stuffed animals hatched from the Egg Factory which are bestowed intelligence by the Sower, Ain Motain and Thomas Meedison are respectively a horse and a goat.
* MyGodYouAreSerious: Doraemon and gang's reactions at Ain Motain and Thomas Meedison holding a council meeting with Pibu, Popi and the other animal representatives in the Spiral City is somewhere along the lines of "Aw how cute, they're playing politicians"... in actuality, they ''are'' holding a serious meeting.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein and UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison, in that order.
* UpliftedAnimal: Ditto as the above.
----
!! Goji-chan
Gian's toy NotZilla which he brought to life with the Life Key, and enlarged with the Growth Ray for good measure. Unlike the rest of the toys, Goji-chan is willing
* GentleGiant: He ''looks'' intimidating, but is a massive softie who enjoys cuddling with his owner, Gian.
* TRexpy: The manga have him looking like Godzilla, but he's more of a stuffed T-Rex in the anime.
----
!! Wooky
A stuffed monkey belonging to Shizuka who became one of the Spiral City's residents thanks to the Life Key.
* MischiefMakingMonkey: The naughtiest toy character in the entire story, to the point of screwing with the Life Key by bringing various objects in the ''human world'' to life... and then dragging them into the toy world.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Despite being a stuffed monkey,
* RummageFail: When he's told by Nobita to retrieve the Fourth Dimensional Pocket, but as Nobita couldn't speak monkey, he then draws a half-circle and tell Wooky to "find something like this". Wooky then returns with a sack containing assorted half-circle objects including Nobita's underwear, a protractor, bowls, soup ladles, a watermelon slice from the fridge, a toy ship, half a baseball and finally, the Fourth Dimensional Pocket.

! The Villains
!! Onigoro
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oni_3.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:250:"We're taking over toy world!"]]
A convict and wanted criminal by the Tokyo police, who unexpectedly found the unguarded Anywhere Door leading to the planet of toys. Stumbling into the Egg Factory, Onigoro unintentionally clones himself multiple times, and intends to take over the toy world.
* AdaptationalWimp: Even worse in the anime. In the manga Nobita needs the Fourth Dimensional Pocket to take him down (by releasing a giant stuffed toy of a monster to scare Onigoro into submission before shooting the inflating bullets). In the anime Nobita just shoots and wins.
* BigBad: The main villain of the picture, who escaped the authorities from Tokyo after breaking out of prison and snuck into the world of toys.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: After a [[Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheTinLabyrinth human-hating robot despot]], a [[Anime/DoraemonNobitasThreeVisionarySwordsmen powerful netherworld demonic overlord]] and [[Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheGalaxySuperExpress a horde of alien parasites who intends to assimilate the universe]], the long stories series gave us a "normal" human criminal for once.
* HarmlessVillain: The one time he put Doraemon and gang in ''actual'' danger is aboard the space station, where they have the advantage of being in an enclosed space and actually having ''guns'' allowing them to tie up everyone. The final battle easily demonstrates they're easily outmatched by Doraemon, Nobita, their friends and the ''toys'' of Spiral City.
* HeelFaceBrainwashing: While the OG Onigoro and most of his clones are escaped convicts and criminals, they all end up being fused into Hokuro at the conclusion of the story, and the goodness in Hokuro the odd clone is the only one of them which remains. A later scene back in Tokyo have a news report stating that Onigoro-as-Hokuro had surrendered himself to the authorities and is willingly serving time in prison, with his criminal behaviour before his escape somehow missing.
* InflatingBodyGag: Most of the clones, including the OG Onigoro, are defeated in the final battle from being shot by Nobita's inflatable pellet gun. They're then strung up like balloons and captured with ease.
* MesACrowd: He unintentionally cloned himself into multiple copies after entering the Egg Factory. His clones don't really see eye-to-eye, but they're willing to let the OG Onigoro be in charge of everything.
* NiceHat: The anime adaptation gave the OG Onigoro a hat to differentiate him from his clones.
* WouldHurtAChild: He had no qualms trying to have Doraemon and gang tied up and locked in a space station about to explode. Or, in the finale, try shooting at Nobita with ''live'' ammunition.

!! Hokuro
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hokuro.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:250:"The mole's bringing me all the bad luck!"]]
A clone of Onigoro who uniquely had a mole on his upper lip. He's also unexpectedly a benevolent, non-violent member of the clones who gets dragged into the original Onigoro's plans by chance.
* ButtMonkey: He really doesn't have the best of luck among the various Onigoro clones, from being scared by Goji-chan while trying to take a pee, to being assigned by his boss to carry a fireman's ladder, forced to drag Doraemon and gang and all his colleagues halfway across the forest after consuming the "Human Steam Engine Set" (in the manga it's Gian who does that) and later tasked with guard duty when a feast is happening. He actually remarks that his mole "brings him all the bad luck".
* DistinguishingMark: The ''huge'' mole on his upper lip can be seen from a mile away. To the point that some dubs actually called him "Big Mole".
* ForcedIntoEvil: He doesn't want to be among Onigoro and the other criminals, but he doesn't have a choice since he's seen with the other villains.
* FusionDance: Towards the end of the story, when the original Onigoro and the clones are arrested and put through the Cloning Machine to have the cloning process reversed, all of them somehow merged into a single entity, inside Hokuro, who can be identified by his mole.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Onogoro and his minions already have Doraemon and gang trapped aboard the space station, but Hokuro, tasked with tying up everyone, couldn't bring himself to hurt Shizuka (since she was the only member on board who treats him ''decently''). SO he instead leaves a few notches loose allowing Shizuka to struggle free from her bonds and release Doraemon and the others.
* TokenHeroicOrc: The only clone that isn't ''outright'' evil, and in fact mostly benevolent.
* WouldntHurtAChild: The ''exact'' opposite of his boss.
