[[folder: The Animated Series]]
* GamePlayAndStoryIntegration: One of the last publications for D&D 3.5 was the "Animated Series Handbook", which provides official statistics for the MainCharacters, Venger, and their weapons.
** Hank's "Energy Bow" is described as a +2 Composite Longbow that can create an infinite supply of force arrows and shed light as per a torch.
** Eric's "Griffon Shield" is described as a +2 Bashing Heavy Steel Shield that can cast the spell Otiluke's Resilient Sphere for five rounds a day.
** Sheila's "Cloak of Invisibility" allows her to become the target of either an Invisibility spell (5 times per day) or a Greater Invisibility spell (twice per day, but only lasts for 1d4 rounds).
** Diana's "Javelin Staff" is described as a unique magical weapon, being a +2 Ki Strike quarterstaff in melee and a +2 Ki Strike Javelin as a ranged weapon, as well as being able to grow to 20ft long or shrink to 1 inch long and giving a bonus to Jump checks.
** Presto's "Hat of Many Spells" acts as a Rod of Wonder, can freely produce any material component (up to 1000 gold pieces in value) that he requires, and can be used to freely Empower a spell or to spontaneously cast a spell that the bearer knows, at the risk of getting a Rod of Wonder effect instead of the spell.
** Bobby's "Thunder Club" is treated as a +2 Greatclub that grants +4 Strength and can be used to create an earth tremor that potentially knocks victims prone three times per day.
** Shadow Demons have actually appeared in canonical sourcebooks for the game as well.
* OnlyOneName: None of the kids have their surnames revealed, though the Portugesse Wikipedia entry for the show gives their full names as Henry (Hank) Grayson, Sheila and Robert (Bobby) O'Brian, Diana Curry, Eric Montgomery, and Albert (Presto) Sidney.

!!Hank
->Voice: Willie Aames

Hank is the 15 year old defacto Leader of the team, and is given the Ranger class by the Dungeon Master. His weapon is an energy bow, the arrows of which can achieve various effects, including becoming entangling ropes, fusing metal or creating non-lethal explosions of light and sound. While he never actually uses it to kill, the fact that the task of executing Venger in "The Dragon's Graveyard" falls to him would seem to indicate that his bow has the potential to be ''quite'' lethal. Hank's greatest fear is that he will lose the respect, and thus the friendship, of his party. Given that, as leader (a role he acquired, one imagines, mostly through popular concensus), he is primarily responsible for the safety and well being of his friends, he fears his decisions could lead them to harm and while he takes his responsibilities very seriously, he does(as evidenced in "Dungeon at the Heart of Dawn") occasionally displays some abivalance towards his role. Mark Evanier's series bible indicates that his greatest strengths are his fair-mindedness and that he "knows what he doesn't know." As an EasterEgg, Hank's portrait appears in the back of a shop in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII'', which claims he and his party never made it from the Realm, as they were all eaten by Tiamat.
----
* ActingYourIntellectualAge: Being in his position is shown to be never an easy ride for him, nevertheless he can act his own age when the team is not facing a challenge.
* AndIMustScream: Very nearly. In "Quest of the Skeleton Warrior, Venger, in a particular frightening bit of animation for an American cartoon from the early '80s, begins to turn Hank into a skeleton warrior. The audience is treated to a close up of the flesh melting off of Hank's face while he screams in agony before Dekion, the skeleton warrior in the episode's title, saves him.
* TheArcher: His weapon is a magical bow and he tends to be one of the more level-headed of the group.
* BigGood: Not ''all'' the time, but in "Winds of Darkness," Hank kind of takes on this role for the space of the episode.
* CaptainObvious: Hank's leadership often consists of pointing out self-evident things.
* CelibateHero: Strongly implied. The series bible suggests he has feelings for Sheila, but given the tremendous responsibilities placed on him as leader of the group, he's just got too much on his plate to do anything about it.
* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: His bow is never used for lethal purposes. It is implied in "The Dragon's Graveyard" that it could be, though.
* HeroicSacrifice: He was willing to do so in "The Winds of Darkness".
** Also in "The Box," and in "The Girl Who Saw Tomorrow" he was willing to stay behind to destroy the portal after his friends had gone through it.
* KilledMidSentence: A non-lethal variant. In "Quest of the Skeleton Warrior," the kids have become separated while searching the Tower of the Celestial Knights. Hank is the first to reach the Circle of Power, the object of their quest, but he's treated to a view of his friends in the various fearsome predicaments to which the Tower is subjecting them. This reduces Hank to tears, and he begins to say "Ever since we came to the Realm I've been afraid I'd fail, like..." and then he cuts himself off as he realizes that the Tower is subjecting them all to their worst fears. Whatever past failure he was going to mention goes unrevealed, and is never brought up again.
* TheLeader: Mostly of the Levelheaded variety. Of the gang, he's usually the quickest thinker under stress, and the best able to assess a given situation. For instance, in "Prison Without Walls" he accurately determined that the shambling mound that had been following them was the cursed magician they'd been seeking, based on the fact that the creature had saved the gang twice from other threats, while the others reacted only to his monstrous appearance.
* MaturityIsSeriousBusiness: A most rare case in western animation. Apparently this is his quest in the Realm.
* ParentalAbandonment: Hank and Presto are the only members of the gang whose parents are never mentioned.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Venger seems to bear a personal vendetta against Hank.
* TheQuisling[=/=]TheAtoner: He had to play both parts in "The Traitor".
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: To the team.
* StandardizedLeader: Although reluctantly. He proved to be not always flawless as shown in "The Traitor" and in "The Dungeon at the Heart of Dawn".
* TeamDad: Mild case and justified, as he is TheLeader and at times OnlySaneMan of the team.
* TrickArrow: You saw that one coming, don't you? Granted since his bow creates its own magic arrows.

!!Eric
->Voice: Donald Most

Eric is the 15 year old group's complainer, and given the Cavalier class by the Dungeon Master. His weapon is a magic shield, which is indestructible and can create a protective forcefield large enough to shield the wielder and various allies. His greatest fear is being laughed at and mocked, especially for his appearance.
----
* BestFriend: This is possible overstating things, but Hank is the only member of the group who doesn't regularly get on Eric's case, and he's quick to compliment Eric when he does something right (as in "Day of the Dungeon Master"). There's a deleted scene from "Dragon's Graveyard" where, after Hank makes the decision to destroy Venger, Eric, who had initially been against the idea, promises Hank that he'll back him up, whatever happens.
* ButtMonkey: If something bad is going to happen that is humiliating or embarrassing, count on Eric to be the recipient.
* CharacterDevelopment: Subtle, but he becomes slightly less selfish and a better leader and hero throughout the series.
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: The reason for Eric's personality, as prompted by ExecutiveMeddling, is to be annoying complainer that no one listens to. It is often subtly subverted, however, as, if you pay attention, Eric's complaints and warnings of dire consequences often prove to be correct. It's never usually pointed out in-show, though, so it falls to an observant viewer to make the realization. In "The Girl Who Dreamed Tomorrow", D.M. tells the kids that they will find a portal home, but before they use it, they must destroy it. Eric counters with, "And if we destroy it, we can't use it." He's right.
* CommanderContrarian: He doesn't usually try and take charge of the group himself, but he's quick to complain that Hank or whoever else is in charge are making decisions he feels are wrong. While some of his challenges to Dungeon Master are apt, frequently his complaints are so arbitrary that they can only be called contrary, the result of a fractious and insecure nature.
* GodForADay: He was made Dungeon Master for one episode. While he had vast power he had no control over it so however he used it would almost always backfire. On top of this the powers would tend to not work half the time.
* TheHerosJourney: Most likely his quest in the Realm.
* HiddenDepths: Under all that whining and non-stop ranting, Eric has a well-hidden heroic core. Notable was his encounter with the [[GodOfEvil Nameless One]] whom he ''beheld'' [[NoOneShouldSurviveThat and walked it off.]] Also, despite his frequent taunts and insults, he genuinely does care for his friends.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Eric complains the loudest and most frequently. But he's quick to get the others behind his shield when there's danger, and is one of the most vocal when it comes to rescuing Bobby in "City on the Edge of Midnight."
* KnightInSourArmor: A literal case in spades.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: His magical item is a magical shield that can project a forcefield to protect him and his friends.
* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob[=/=]ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Many of Eric's tales about his life in the regular world involve him using his family's wealth to get out of trouble.
* ShieldBash: His preferred (...and only) attack method.
* TheSoCalledCoward: Eric will often be the first to panic, scream, or suggest fleeing, but he often runs into danger to protect the others, such as in "The Girl Who Dreamed Tomorrow", or pulls up the rear to cover their escape as in "The Treasure of Tardos".
* TouchedByVorlons: After he was made GodForADay by Dungeon Master, he is warned he'll never be the same again. Unfortunately as its Eric we're dealing with, it becomes a case of BlessedWithSuck as whenever he tries to tap into those powers to demand respect, [[CueTheRain he makes a fool of himself.]]
* TrapMaster: As the series´ plot unfolds, we discover that his real attribute is to know how to set traps and luring his enemies onto them, turns out he's quite good at it!
* UnrelatedBrothers: Eric and Lorn seem to be their own alternate selves.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Implied in "City on the Edge of Midnight" when Eric notes that Ramoud is a better father than his ever was.

!!Diana
->Voice: Tonia Gayle Smith

Diana, age 14, was already a champion gymnast, and in the Realm is given the Acrobat class by the Dungeon Master. Her weapon is a nigh-indestructible/self-repairing magic javelin, which can shrink down and be stowed on her hip, extend up to six feet long, or even be thrown. Her greatest fear is growing old and weak.
----
* ActionGirl: Her main role in the team.
* TheBeastmaster: An ability she had to learn during her time in the Realm.
* BareFistedMonk: In the Animated Series Handbook, Diana is classified as a Monk, due to the Acrobat class having been cut off as a class with the advent of 2nd edition.
* CombatParkour: Her shtick, with dashes of FragileSpeedster.
* DownerEnding: After falling for Kosar in "Child of the Stargazer", she could only watch him turn into his PowerUp state and vanish, but not before promising he would never forget her.
* EmeraldPower: Her javelin glows green every time she activates it.
* FurBikini: Part of her attire.
* TheLancer: To Hank, being at times the Co-Leader of the team.
* PowerMakeover: Being the daughter of a meteorologist, she qualified as a "Child of the Stargazer" too.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Her javelin again. And she is so good at throwing it that she's just shy from ComicBook/CaptainAmerica´s pin-point accuracy.
* RedOniBlueOni: She's the Red Oni to Sheila's Blue Oni. She's daring and adventurous, as well as the most willing of the group to, enjoy her time there since she's trapped in the Realm anyway. In his series bible, Mark Evanier describes her as frequently advising Hank to take more risks.
* SassyBlackWoman: Teenaged version. In one instance, while being forced to do slave labor in a mine, she even mouths off to their captors.
-->'''Bullywog''': ''Work faster''.\\
'''Diana''': ''Hey, you get what you pay for.''
* SimpleStaff: Her javelin is a staff that can adjust its length and which can be put back together if it breaks.
* StarCrossedLovers: Diana and Kosar.
* TeamSpirit: Being an accomplished achiever by herself, Diana's quest in the Realm is to learn how to be part of a team.
* VitriolicBestBuds: She seems to love snarking at Eric, more so than anyone else, which could be interpreted as BelligerentSexualTension.

!!Presto
->Voice: Adam Rich

Presto is a bespectacled 14 year young man, given the Magician class by the Dungeon Master. His weapon is a magic hat, which is capable of various incredible feats; its primary use is to summon things that can be helpful to the situation, but it has also teleported things on a number of occasions. Presto would later appear in an EasterEgg [[TheCameo cameo]] in a ''Forgotten Realms'' tie-in comic, applying to be Elminster's new apprentice.
----
* BlindWithoutEm: In fact, his deepest fear is losing his glasses and being rendered effectively blind.
* BrainySpecs: He's TheSmartGuy, or at least his being the Magician implies it, so naturally he has glasses.
* ComicRelief: Of the show as a whole.
* EnmityWithAnObject: Played for laughs. Presto regards his hat as a mixed blessing, and can often be heard cajoling or berating it.
* FunctionalMagic: Presto used Lukion's wands and Merlin's grimoire to perform pretty advanced spells, implying there's more to his magician status than meets the eye.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Presto's spells usually either work (if in unexpected ways) or don't work, but sometimes they have caused problems by working too well, such as "The Golden Egg", where Presto accidentally teleports the group to the castle of a giant and leaves him stranded. Or his efforts to [[StartXToStopX call Venger to fight the evil wizard Kalak]], a former minion of Venger's, which unexpectedly teleports ''Presto'' to Venger's castle.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: His quest in the Realm is to overcome his own low self-esteem.
* InterspeciesRomance: Fairie Dragon Amber is quite interested in him in "Cave of the Fairie Dragons".
* MagiciansAreWizards: He's clearly supposed to be the party's mage, even dressing up in the classic wizard's robe and pointy hat, but he's called the group's Magician. It is mentioned in "City at the Edge of Midnight" that Presto got his nickname still on Earth, by doing bad card tricks.
* MeaningfulName: His moniker, for his middle name is ''Preston''.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His real name is Albert.
* ParentalAbandonment: Presto and Hank are the only members of the gang whose parents are never mentioned.
* PuppyLove: With Varla in "The Last Illusion".
* RhymesOnADime: Averted. He struggles to come up with rhymes for his spells, and it's often implied that his magic hat "misfires" mostly out of protest for his cheesy efforts.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Presto's outfit after coming to the Realm. His hat is even his magical weapon, serving as the source for all his spellcrafting efforts.
* ShrinkingViolet: Presto is shy and awkward, but also sweet and affable.

!!Sheila
->Voice: Katie Leigh

Sheila is the 13 year old older sister of Bobby, and is given the Thief class by the Dungeon Master. Her weapon is an Invisibility Cloak that, surprise-surprise, makes her invisible when she raises her hood. Ironically, despite being the shy and stealthy one, her greatest fear is being alone.
----
* BeastAndBeauty: She was The Beauty for Solarz in "The Garden of Zinn".
* BigSisterInstinct: Threatening any member of the team, especially her little brother, is a bad idea.
* TheChick[=/=]TeamMom: Justified in that she actually has a younger brother to take care of.
* CriticalResearchFailure: If someone has an iron-clad plan about how to solve the present predicament, you can trust Sheila will point out every failure point and wrong assumption in it.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: She wears a basic tunic and thigh-high boots, and the first episode [[PantyShot demonstrates the problem with this]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Shows up from time to time. She's quick to snark off to Bullywogs and Lizard Men when she's running circles around them while invisible. She also had this gem for the Bog Beasts:
--> '''Sheila''': ''I think these guys are about as smart as they are handsome.''
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Part of how she prompted Kareena's HeelFaceTurn.
* FieryRedhead: Averted. Despite being the team's redhead, her temperament is that of a ShrinkingViolet. [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience She even wears Violet clothing to drive the point home.]]
* TheHeart: This is very clear in "The Garden of Zinn" and "Citadel of Shadows".
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Never mind the odds, Sheila will always follow her heart as Dungeon Master notes, realizing that her moment to really shine is when you need a real friend. Her personal quest in the Realm, no doubt.
* InvisibilityCloak: The weapon given her by Dungeon Master.
* LapPillow: Does this for several characters in the show in her TeamMom capacity, including Terri and Presto.
* MeaningfulName: Sheila means [[http://babynames.net/names/sheila "blinded,"]] apropos for someone who can turn invisible.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Diana's Red Oni. Sheila is cautious and, while no less brave than any of the others, the least likely to take risks. In the series bible, Mark Evanier describes her as frequently counselling hank to be cautious.
* SingleTear: The animators loved using Sheila for this trope, even going so far as to make them SwissArmyTears in "The Garden of Zinn."

!!Bobby
->Voice: Teddy Field III

Bobby is Sheila's 8 year old younger brother, and a constant source of worry for her. Given the Barbarian class by the Dungeon Master, his weapon is a magic club that can strike with incredible force, allowing Bobby to destroy almost anything and even create earthquakes by pounding it against the ground. He resents being seen as weak and helpless due to his age, and strives to prove his capability. In connection to this, his greatest fear is becoming weak and helpless, ending up becoming the "baby" that everyone seems to see him as. Like Hank, Bobby's portrait appears as an EasterEgg in the back of a shop in ''[[VideoGame/BaldursGate Baldur's Gate II]]'', which claims he and his party never made it from the Realm, as they were all eaten by Tiamat.
----
%%* BarbarianLongHair: It's a 1983 cartoon, what did you expect?%%ZCE
* BashBrothers:
** He and Eric frequently get into verbal jousts. But when Bobby is kidnapped, Eric is one of the first to propose a rescue mission.
** Most of the time with Uni and Sheila.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He may be younger and smaller but he's still protective of his sister, and also Uni.
%%* BrattyHalfPint: Eric seems to think so.
* CarryABigStick: His barbarian club greatly increases his striking power.
%%* TheDogBitesBack: Every time Venger is on the scene.
* FastballSpecial: He performed one helped by Diana and Eric in "The Girl Who Dreamed Tomorrow".
* FromNobodyToNightmare: [[HeWhoFightsMonsters Everybody's worst fear]] and most likely, his quest in the Realm is to avoid ending up as PersonOfMassDestruction. Being the youngest in the group, [[NoSympathyForGrudgeholders he can bear a grudge]] as no one else on the team, as shown in "The Dragon's Graveyard".
-->'''Hank''': ''Relax, Bobby. A boy your age shouldn't feel that much hate''.\\
'''Bobby''': ''I told you all before, don't worry about me... worry about Venger.''
%%* FurBikini: An eight-year-old Conan version.
%%* HairTriggerTemper: Again, 8 year old, dudes!%%ZCE.
* HornsOfBarbarism: He wears a metal helmet with a large pair of horns as part of his general barbarian outfit.
* LeeroyJenkins: His proclivity towards headlong attack is but one of many reasons that Sheila is actively worried about him in the Realm.
%%* MegatonPunch: More like "Megaton Clubbin'".
* PintSizedPowerhouse: A kid with a club capable of starting a localized earthquake or destroy castles in a single blow.
* PrimitiveClubs: He wields a club as his magical artifact that lets him send much, much bigger opponents flying or cause localized earthquakes despite his being a rather scrawny prepubescent boy.
* PuppyLove: With Terri, "The Girl Who Dreamed Tomorrow".
* RedBaron: "Bobby the Barbarian", a title he's very proud of.
%%* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Venger almost killed Uni... [[ThisIsUnforgivable "He's mine" moment]] was assured.%%ZCE
* VisualPun: He's the shortest, smallest guy in the party. He's also the most eager for a fight. Yes, he's the "combat munchkin".

!!Uni
->Voice: Creator/FrankWelker

An infant unicorn the team encounters when they arrive in the Realm, she is essentially the TeamPet, and closest to Bobby and Sheila.
----
* BerserkButton: She's usually among the first to scamper away, but she'll fight if Bobby or Sheila are in danger.
* CuteButCacophonic: She sounds like an argument between two sheep.
* EvilDetectingDog: She can sometimes sense any enemy presence. For example, in "The Last Illusion", she growls suspiciously at the warrior on the flying horse (actually Venger and Nightmare in disguise), but Bobby dismisses this. It is not until Varla confirms who it was that Bobby compliments Uni on being correct.
* FieryRedhead: A better example than Sheila, when she's not fleeing in fear.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: In "Valley of the Unicorns" is revealed that unicorns can teleport. Before knowing that every time she gets locked in a cage she had to wait for rescue.
* MouthyKid: She's not speaking any human language, but she's usually the first to point out when somebody's holding an IdiotBall.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: She's a chibi unicorn.
* TeamPet: Inseparable from Bobby, but she's regarded as a valuable team member by all the kids - except, possibly, Eric.
* TheUnintelligible: All she can do is bleat.

!!The Dungeon Master
->Voice: Sidney Miller

A mysterious figure in The Realm, the Dungeon Master serves as mentor and adviser to the children, as well as the one who provided their magical weapons. He often gives them clues in the form of riddles, but seldom if ever intercedes directly on their behalf.
----
* AllPowerfulBystander: With his power, he could easily return the heroes to Earth but chooses to take a back seat. He does once comment that with his powers he has to maintain a universal balance. The final episode [[AllThereInTheManual would have explained]] that he had been trying to use them to redeem Venger all this time.
* BigGood: The most powerful force of good in the realm and actively trying to make things better in the Realm.
* CaptainObvious: Eric actually calls Dungeon Master out on this a couple of times, most notably in "Child of the Stargazer", as Dungeon Master was telling the others where Diana and Kosar had been taken, and Eric rebukes him with a "We already figured that part out. How do we get there?"
* TheChessmaster: While he cares for the heroes, he moves them and others around as part of his plans to improve the Realm. One episode commentary observes that he plays games the kids are unaware of.
* CrypticConversation: In nearly every episode he gives a clue in the form of a riddle to that episode's adventure.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: He keeps telling the kids that they'll find a way home 'when the time is right.' The little tease. Although from his point of view, the more wrongs they right before they depart, the better.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarKeep: If he has a name besides Dungeon Master no one knows it since everyone addresses him by that title.
* InexplicablyAwesome: What is he, how is he so powerful? Nothing is revealed about him, but everyone seems to know who he is.
* LukeIAmYourFather: In the unproduced final episode it would have been revealed that Venger is actually his ''son'', corrupted by The Nameless One.
* TheMentor: Arms the team once they arrive in the Realm and gives advice to help them develop. He is described in the series bible as a combination of Obi-Wan and Yoda.
* MyGreatestFailure: He claims at the end of one episode that Venger was his mistake.
* TheOmniscient: He always knows where the kids are, what they're doing, and often even what they're feeling at any given moment. His riddles frequently impart situation-specific advice that would seem to indicate that he knows ahead of time who the kids will meet, exactly what challenges the kids will face, and what they'll need to know in order to succeed.
* OffscreenTeleportation: Most often will appear and disappear when no one is looking or will walk behind another object do to hide himself before vanishing, though this isn't necessary and he can teleport when others are watching.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In "Dungeon at the Heart of Dawn", Dungeon Master isn't speaking in riddles or cryptic clues. This is a clear indicator to the kids that the situation with The Nameless One is deadly serious.
* StealthHiBye: He seems to spend a lot of time BehindTheBlack, probably thinking up new riddles.
* TricksterMentor: He's always helpful but hardly ever straightforward.
* WeirdnessSearchAndRescue: The kids are stranded in a weird world: Dungeon Master is the mysterious inhabitant who helps them find a way home.

!!Venger
->Voice: Creator/PeterCullen

Seemingly the most powerful magician in the Realm, Venger is constantly trying to steal the childrens' weapons and do them harm.
----
* AntagonisticOffspring: The final episode was going to reveal that Dungeon Master was actually his ''father'' and that Venger was corrupted by The Nameless One in his youth.
* BigBad: The most powerful and active force of evil in the Realm. He is actively trying to conquer it and spent hundreds of years reducing it to its current state.
* CastAsAMask: Many of Venger's disguises are voiced by actors other than Peter Cullen. Hector the Halfling, for example, is voiced by Frank Welker.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: He's kind of predictable in how his alliances with others turn out (badly for the other party).
* EnemyMine: He will, with great reluctance, work with the heroes if necessary. YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness is always in play.
* EvilSorcerer: He never engages in physical combat, relying either on minions for that or his immense magical powers. His use of black magic is implied to have turned him into the more demon looking form he currently looks like.
* EvilSoundsDeep: A vampiric baritone with slightly metallic tinge.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Venger seems to spend a lot of time dreaming these up. These include prisons suspended over volcanoes, {{Baleful Polymorph}}s and many, many, AndIMustScream punishments for people who resist him or challenge him.
* IGaveMyWord: On a few occasions he's actually kept his word, such as during the [=DemoDragon=] debacle. When the children successfully defeat it, he orders Shadow Demon and the orcs to stand down, parting ways with the children peacefully. On the other hand, he also makes it clear that the next time he wouldn't hesitate to crush them.
* JokerImmunity: He has had more than his share of apparent deaths, but no matter what happens to him he always comes back.
* ManipulativeBastard: The few times he manipulates the heroes he tends to play more on their desire to go home or empathy for others. It is the same with other characters.
* NeverSayDie: Venger has a number of {{UnusualEuphemism}}s for death; kid's show, you know?
* NighInvulnerability: Even if he ''does'' suffer the sort of thing one might consider lethal, it's implied that his body will simply re-create itself. However, his usual indirect approach to stealing the heroes' weapons suggests that those objects have the potential to do him real harm.
* ObviouslyEvil: In appearance he combines the least lovely aspects of Lucifer, the Joker, and a mako shark. As noted in Evil Sorcerer, this form was at least partly self-inflicted.
* PragmaticVillainy: Unlike certain other villains from the eighties cartoons, Venger has enough sense to team up with the kids or even Dungeon Master... as briefly as possible.
* VillainRespect: It's ''really'' hard to earn Venger's respect, because [[EvilIsPetty he's full of spite and hatred,]] but it's not entirely impossible.
-->'''Venger''' ''(returning the cowardly Sir John's son to him):'' He is a brave boy. [[TakeThat Not at all like his father.]]
* VillainTeleportation: Venger seems to have spells in place that will teleport him out in a crisis.
* VoluntaryShapeshifter: Venger can and has taken on many guises to fool the children, including Merlin, a halfling, and a handful of others. He's quite good at it, in fact, as there are usually no tell-tale signs unless Dungeon Master has provided a cryptic clue beforehand.
* WasOnceAMan: Was once a human before The Nameless One turned him into a literal monster.
* WingedHumanoid: Those batlike wings are very menacing, but he doesn't seem capable of unassisted flight.
* WouldHurtAChild: The very first thing the kids learn about him, even before his name, is that he shoots to kill. He's not ''always'' out to kill them, but if that's part of his current EvilPlan, he will not hesitate.
* YouFool: It seems to be his favorite word.

!!Shadow Demon
-> Voice: Bob Holt

Venger's right-hand man -- er, demon. Appears as a winged humanoid who trails off into a ghost-like tail, all made of translucent darkness.
----
* TheBlank: He has eyes, but that's it; otherwise, his face is a pure void.
* TheDragon: To Venger. He is his right hand man and most recurring servant.
* {{Invisibility}}: He can physically meld with shadows to become invisible, and pass through solid objects like a ghost.
* NonActionGuy: He doesn't fight, he just wanders the Realms spying on things for Venger.
* UndyingLoyalty: He is genuinely loyal to Venger, rather than being enslaved or otherwise forced into service like many of Venger's followers.
* VillainousFriendship: While there are times he's clearly afraid of Venger's wrath (especially when he's delivering bad news), he nevertheless does his job. In return, Venger is much more willing to hear him out and even treats him as a sort of confidant.

!!Kareena
Venger's sister, whom he imprisoned. Initially evil, she is befriended by Sheila, and undergoes a HeelFaceTurn. Seen in only one episode.
----
* CainAndAbel: The relationship between her and Venger.
* HeelFaceTurn: She starts out off evil, but turns out she was corrupted by her magic rings and in truth was good.

!!Tiamat
-> Voice: Frank Welker

A five-headed dragon, each head with a different power. Tiamat is a mortal enemy of Venger, but also none too fond of the Children.
----
* AlwaysABiggerFish: She's established as this in the opening sequence, chasing away Venger.
* BreathWeapon: She has five of them; [[PlayingWithFire fire]], [[ShockAndAwe lightning]], [[AnIcePerson ice]], [[AcidAttack acid]], and [[DeadlyGas chlorine gas]] (from her red, blue, white, black, and green heads, respectively).
* EnemyMine: Willing to work with the children in one episode as she ''hates'' Venger far more than them.
* EvilVersusEvil: She regards Venger as the greatest threat to her, while the children are a mere annoyance.
* HeroKiller: As stated above, an EasterEgg in ''Baldur's Gate II'' claims she ate the Children.
* MultipleHeadCase: Has five heads, each with a different color.
* PhysicalGod: She is not called the queen of dragons for nothing.
* SummonBiggerFish: The heroes turn to her or at least her appearance several times to scare off Venger since she is the only being in the Realm he is afraid of and why he seeks their weapons - to have enough power to defeat her.
* VillainOfAnotherStory: Tiamat is stated to be an evil dragon who presumably is doing evil things...elsewhere. She never actively sets out to conquer the Realm, destroy the kids or doing anything evil on screen. The CrapsackWorld that is the Realm is Venger's doing. At no point does anyone good, including Dungeon Master, consider trying to get rid of her.

!!Dekion
-> Voice: Frank Welker

A former celestial knight, now a cursed undead skeleton warrior. He sends the kids on a dangerous mission to retrieve the circle of power that can break his curse but has a hidden agenda.
----
* EarnYourHappyEnding: He attacks Venger when he tries to use the circle of power to turn the kids into skeleton warriors as well. The circle is destroyed during the battle, lifting his curse.
* FaceHeelTurn: In his backstory he was a servant of good but betrayed his knightly order and led them into a trap for a "king's ransom" in gold.

!!The Nameless One

Venger's master is an EldritchAbomination from beyond the Realm who supposedly caused his fall from grace and gave him his many evil powers. He appears for only one episode, but his threat proves to be so great that it pushes nearly the whole cast to team up to drive him off.
----
* TheCorrupter: He's heavily implied to have been the one who made Venger what he is today.
* TheDreaded: You just know he is one when both Venger and the ''Dungeon Master himself'' are terrified of him.
* EldritchAbomination: The Nameless One is a cosmic entity of phenomenal power far more powerful than Venger who could destroy the Realm as easily as humans step on a insects.
* EvilerThanThou: His evil is so great that he pushes Venger and the children to form a temporary alliance just to stop him from destroying this world.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools A surprisingly effective example.]] He is an unstoppable force of evil who everyone is terrified of. [[NothingIsScarier Knowing so little about him, and his lack of dialogue, makes him all the more intimidating.]]
* GodzillaThreshold: He provokes one by forcing Venger to ally with his hated enemies to help preserve the Realm he is trying so hard to conquer.
* GreaterScopeVillain: He is Venger's master, having granted him his evil magical powers and is much more powerful than him.
* InvincibleVillain: He is never defeated in the show; he simply opts to leave after the heroes try and utterly fail to beat him.
* NoNameGiven: That is a given, although he is said to possess countless names in other places by the Dungeon Master.
* NothingIsScarier: We know next to nothing about what he is, his dialogue with Venger is unintelligible and we barely see what he looks like. It serves to make him the most horrifying threat in the show.
* VillainOfAnotherStory: It's said that the Nameless One has countless other worlds under its grasp and, by the end of his episode, he is off to terrorize other worlds unchecked.

* AndIMustScream: Very nearly. In "Quest of the Skeleton Warrior, Venger, in a particular frightening bit of animation for an American cartoon from the early '80s, begins to turn Hank into a skeleton warrior. The audience is treated to a close up of the felsh melting off of Hank's face while he screams in agony before Dekion, the skeleton warrior in the episode's title, saves him.
