An agent
A mysterious lizard man who comes to help Ludo against Star. He seems to have some sort of grudge against the Royal Family and Queen Moon in particular. He is the overarching main antagonist for
Added DiffLines:
* AchillesHeel: It seems the only thing that can disrupt his healing is the Wand's Magic at full power. It proved instrumental in weakening him enough during the end of ''Battle For Mewni'' that Ludo was able to finish him off.
* AdvertisedExtra: He appears prominently in the title sequence throughout Seasons 3 and 4, despite being killed off about a fifth of the way into the former and Miss Heinous taking over the BigBad position.
* AllAccordingToPlan:
** In "Storm the Castle", not only does he successfully get Star to come to his territory, but [[TheBadGuyWins gets her to destroy the wand to save Marco]]. Even being destroyed by the resulting explosion was to his benefit, as he gained possession of half the wand in the process.
** Almost everything he does in Season 2 and "The Battle For Mewni" falls under this as well. Only one thing goes truly awry in his plan: he intended on gaining both his finger ''and'' Star's half of the wand so that he can be resurrected and have full power over the corrupted magic. But Star was smart enough not to bring her wand with her when she confronts Ludo, and Ludo is sensible enough to listen to Star about what's going on and allows her to perform the Whispering Spell on his half of the wand. With a full-powered wand no longer a possibility, Toffee settles on just resurrecting with his finger and leaving Star stranded in the Realm of Magic, only for her to claim the last spark of uncorrupted magic, achieve SuperMode, and return to defeat Toffee.
* AllForNothing:
** All his planning to get rid of magic; however, unknown to him that Glossaryck was using him and his plan to release Eclipsa. In season 3, Toffee believed his master plan work; however, when Star came back and she used her magic on Toffee. Toffee couldn't believe Star came back and his plans was for nothing. This lead to him finally snapped into insanity and dies by the hands of Ludo. The creators stated that Toffee really failed and was defeated at season 3 and he's defeat drove him insane before he died.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Several hints towards this. He's very delicate with his hands and makes a few gestures with them that are borderline limpwrist. His sense of fashion is not only done in pinks and purples, but is extremely formfitting to the point of being skin-tight with his battle uniform (and shear in some places according to Moon's tapestry to the point we can see through his shirt). He is very soft spoken and has a mellifluous voice. Finally, his entire army he was planning to use to fight against the Mewmans consisted of half-dressed (and some barely-dressed) men with barely any wearing a shirt.
* AmbiguousSituation:
** It's unclear if he was aware that Star using the Whispering Spell would cause her wand to explode as it did, since he's shocked when it starts to go off but gives an evil smirk just before detonation. This also makes his releasing Marco suspect, as if he didn't know, then it was him honoring his deal, while if he did, then it becomes him trying to kill Star and Marco. At the very least, he knew it would break the wand, which was really all he needed. As Season 2 shows, the only thing that put a hiccup into his plan was the fact he needed a body to use the wand's magic, a body Ludo [[DemonicPossession was more than able to provide]].
** Eclipsa's dating advice in ''Literature/TheMagicBookOfSpells'' [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/42c6e1c602705668cffc60884e3aaf3d/tumblr_inline_pf7sg1pfzR1sg3o5d_1280.png depicts a Septarian with a similar appearance to Toffee]], while her cons mention negative traits shared by him (chiefly "[[WouldHurtAChild not fond of magical Mewman girls]]" and "[[TheKingslayer probably wants to kill your mom]]"). Meanwhile, "The Hard Way" shows Toffee knows about the monster temple where Eclipsa and Globgor fled to. However, it's never outright said if this Septarian ''is'' Toffee, or if he and Eclipsa ever knew each other.
* ArchEnemy: "Into the Wand" reveals that he was this for Queen Moon back in her glory days.
* ArtifactOfDoom: Effectively ''becomes'' one as the spirit possessing Ludo's wand.
* AttackReflector: Once he fuses with the broken half of the wand, he can create a barrier that blocks projectiles and sends them back at the attacker.
* AxCrazy: When all his plans fell apart in season 3 and Star's blast turn him into a blob, he snapped.
* BackFromTheDead: Though his physical body is destroyed at the end of Season 1, he lives on inside the other fragment of Star's wand. He doesn't take any action until the end of Season 2, where he possesses Ludo's body.
* BackForTheDead: He finally regains his body in the episode "Toffee", only to be killed off by Star and Ludo by Star's powerful blast and Ludo using a pillar to crush what remained of his body.
* BadassInANiceSuit: In Season 1 and the end of "The Battle for Mewni", he's seen wearing a suit as his standard outfit and is one of the most threatening villains in the whole show.
* BatmanGambit: He's a master of this. Nearly all of his plans revolve entirely around characters doing exactly what you'd expect them to do. For example:
** His entire plan in "Mewnipendance Day" centers around Buff Frog being the only monster brave enough and loyal enough to volunteer to go on the mission to retrieve Star's wand by himself.
** In "Marco Grows a Beard", all he had to do was to get Ludo close to the wand, and Ludo, being [[BigBadWannabe Ludo]], will undoubtedly fail to retrieve it then [[NeverMyFault blame his monsters]] on the outcome, which set things up for his takeover.
** In "Storm the Castle", he recognizes that Star will do anything if it means saving Marco whenever he's in danger. With that knowledge, he was able to force her to destroy her wand in exchange for Marco's safety.
** Everything that Star and Ludo have done in Season 2 are all according to his designs.
** He manages to catch Queen Moon off guard by playing on her sympathy for Ludo and his estrangement from his parents, ''and'' the fact that the Magic High Commission would prioritize finding the missing Glossaryck, leaving Moon alone for him to ambush.
** Pulls off a final one in "Battle for Mewni" when Star uses the Whispering Spell again to free Ludo from the wand's control. Star is caught in the explosion and trapped in The Realm of Magic with Toffee, where he quickly overpowers her using all the tainted magic he's gathered up. He holds Star hostage and tells Queen Moon that he will release her daughter in exchange for his missing finger. Then he uses the finger to fully regenerate before crushing the wand fragment, destroying Star's only way home. Unfortunately for him, he didn't count on Star's SuperMode activating.
* BenevolentBoss: Subverted. While he treats Ludo's minions with more respect and kindness than Ludo himself ever did, it's all just an act to win them over to his side, and he has no problem removing those who don't, as was the case with Buff Frog.
* BigBad: The main threat for the first half of the series. Although he doesn't enter the story until "Fortune Cookies" about halfway through the first season, Toffee eventually ends up being the ''final antagonist'' of the first season, displacing the initial BigBad Ludo in the process. Then in Season 2, he displaces Ludo ''again'' by taking over his body after being freed from Ludo's wand. He is finally destroyed in the Season 3 premiere TV movie as a close to his story. Notably, the part of the TV movie he is killed in is the episode actually titled "Toffee", which, as the 39th episode, literally marks the end of the show's first half.
* BigBadEnsemble: With Ludo and Miss Heinous for seasons 1 and 2.
* BodyHorror: In "Battle for Mewni", when he regenerates ''around'' Ludo, coughing him up afterward, and when Star's SuperMode spell all but vaporizes him and Ludo squishes what was left under a pillar.
* BoringButPractical: His best plan to nab the wand? Kidnap Star's best friend and threaten to kill him if she doesn't cooperate. Much less flashy than Ludo's all-out attacks, but it is the first attack to do the trick.
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: Ludo destroying Toffee weakened Eclipsa's prison, since Moon's deal with Eclipsa's was that he would be killed in exchange for her release, and that will spell doom for Mewni. Even after death, Toffee managed to hurt Moon one last time.
* CameBackStrong: Ludo's body may be weak and puny, but he has half a wand fused onto his right arm and energy-draining abilities, and he is able to take on his enemies with greater resilience than before.
* TheChessmaster:
** He skillfully manipulates the events of "Mewnipendance Day" resulting in Ludo firing Buff Frog, the only minion with the intelligence to realize that Toffee wasn't loyal to Ludo. Furthermore, he manipulated Ludo's army into throwing Ludo out and becomes their leader instead. And it's implied that he's been waiting a while for Ludo to put on the display of weakness he needed to convince the monsters to rebel.
** Taken to new heights in Season 2, where the full scope of his plan is revealed and almost all comes together perfectly. However, it takes only one thing going completely off course - Star getting through to Ludo and performing a Whispering Spell on his wand, and then later "dipping down" and achieving SuperMode - to derail the whole thing and lead to his demise.
* TheCorrupter: As Ludo's wand, he advises Ludo on the course of action he should take. This makes Ludo susceptible to Toffee's manipulations but also more [[AxCrazy unhinged]] and [[TookALevelInJerkAss ruthless]] than he was before.
* TheCorruption: His presence within The Realm of Magic was enough to corrupt the universe's magic and weaken the Magic High Commission. When Star meets him in The Realm of Magic, he's essentially TheCorruption [[EldritchAbomination itself]].
* CreepyMonotone: He usually speaks in a deadpan, emotionless tone of voice. In Season 2, he more frequently sounds sadistically sinister as opposed to just stoic.
* DarkIsEvil: Wears a [[EvilWearsBlack dark suit]], and in ''Battle for Mewni'' he corrupted magic itself into an ocean of black oil.
* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: According to the creators, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE he was a]] WellIntentionedExtremist. Now, he seems like a stoic sociopath who only cares about {{Revenge}} on Queen Moon and regaining his full power.
* DeathByIrony:
** Ludo, the person he'd manipulated and admitted didn't amount to anything important in his goals, is the one who ultimately deals the finishing blow to kill him.
** Also, had he kept his word and brought Star out of the wand with him, he might have survived. As it stands, leaving Star to die directly leads to her obtaining her SuperMode and having the power to defeat him.
** Similarly, he told Ludo to leave Star alive because he planned on holding her hostage in exchange for his finger. This happens, but in a different way than he had intended because Star ends up performing the Whispering Spell on Ludo's wand, trapping her with Toffee and leading to the situation in which she gained her SuperMode.
* DemonicPossession: The end of "The Hard Way" has him possess Ludo to talk with Glossaryck, finally proving that he's still around as the voice in the wand Ludo's been listening to.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Toffee is usually methodical and intelligent, so when Star catches him off guard by returning from the realm of magic, he has a mental breakdown and insists [[ParanoiaGambit it's all according to plan and that only he knows how the story ends.]] Ludo shuts him up before he can elaborate any further.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He was the one pulling Ludo's strings for the first two seasons and by all rights he appeared ready to take center stage as the show's main antagonist in the third season. But by the end of the "Battle of Mewni" premiere (the third season's fourth episode), he's unceremoniously KilledOffForReal by Star and Ludo.
* DragonInChief:
** He's got more brains than anyone in Ludo's army, including Ludo himself, is treated much more ominously and as a greater threat and easily betrays Ludo and puts his own plan into action.
** He's also this to Seth of Septarsis, as he's following Seth's agenda but is the one doing the actual planning and work into fulfilling it, with no confirmation that Seth did anything for him other than inspire him.
* EldritchAbomination: His spirit was merged with the tainted magic he corrupted. When Star meets him in "Toffee", his form is the tainted magic itself, which manifest as a giant lizard made out of corrupted goo and a being who is one with the dark ocean of corrupted magic.
* EnergyAbsorption: After fusing with Ludo and half of Star's wand, his favorite tactic is draining the magic right out of his victims. This immediately puts the members of the Magic High Commission in a death-like state.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He first appears after Ludo notes he's dissatisfied with all the other applicants, [[StealthHiBye just kind of appearing in the room]] to talk to him about it, and then manipulates Ludo into hiring him, showing [[TheChessmaster what kind of character]] he is.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Played for laughs. Along with Buff Frog, even he thinks it's wrong (and frankly gross) for Ludo to spy on Star when she is in the bathroom.
** More notably, he kept his word and released Marco as soon as Star destroyed the wand. Although we later see that he has his reasons. It's more likely that his "release" of Marco was more about letting Star into the glass prison he was in and giving her a secure place to be as the wand and castle exploded, since she was needed alive for the rest of Toffee's plan, but otherwise had no reason keep Marco any longer. As for Moon, keeping Star was specifically to ''break'' her.
* EvilGenius: He's extremely smart and intellectual among the monsters, having knowledge about the royal family and magic, and plans strategies that are very effective. Seems to also be a GeniusBruiser since he used to be a general.
* EvilIsPetty:
** He gains access to half of one of the most powerful weapons in the universe at the end of Season 2 and his big declaration during the finale is that he's going after Star to get the finger Moon sliced off back. Without context, the importance of retrieving his severed finger and targeting Star to do so comes off as petty and cruel, but he needed it to make himself whole again.
** In "Toffee", as Ludo's wand hand, he's the one who suggested to Ludo to Levitato [[WouldHurtAChild the choir]] simply because they were singing off-key.
** In "Meteora's Lesson", a teenaged Toffee broke Glossaryck's arm just for making himself a leaf hat, and was willing to break the other one when told he didn't have to keep doing bad things.
* EvilLaugh: Downplayed at first. When he returns in Season 2, he lets out a sinister chuckle when Glossaryck confirms that he doesn't have a side. Played straight later on when he ambushed Queen Moon and during the fight against her.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Has a deep, smooth voice. Unsurprising, given who voices him.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: "Meteora's Lesson" shows that a young Toffee wore a mullet hairstyle, symbolizing his youthful rashness and naivete. As an adult, he switched to a neater haricut to represent how more mature and calculating he became.
* {{Expy}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE According to]] Nefcy herself, he is "a Magneto-type villain".
* TheExtremistWasRight: Toffee really believes that [[DoesNotLikeMagic magic is a problem]] and that people who have it will inevitably misuse or abuse it, so he inflicts TheCorruption on the Realm of Magic to rid the multiverse of it. [[spoiler:Star admits at the end of season 4 that he was right. Her family's ideas to solve problems by using magic would continuously only cause bigger and bigger problems, so she sets off in a quest to destroy all magic.]] That said, [[RightForTheWrongReasons Toffee's primary objection to magic was that it could harm Septarians, and didn't really care about the negative consequences it could have for anyone else, plus he specifically desired to see the people of Mewni exterminated once they couldn't defend themselves with magic]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity:
** Subverted. He gladly accepts his apparent death as Star's wand gets destroyed... but he actually didn't die at all, and he knew he was going to survive.
** Averted in ''Battle For Mewni''. He gets blasted by Star, leaving him as mostly just goop, eyes and bones, his last words being a 'You think you won?' type deal while clearly in a LaughingMad state of mind out of disbelief that this could be happening to him, before he actually bites it by Ludo crushing him with a pillar.
* FantasticRacist: Implied; as much as he talks about how the Mewmans have harmed monsters, the Mewman queen he killed, Comet, was genuinely benevolent, fair, and had been trying her entire reign to make peace and put an end to the conflict without further bloodshed when he assassinated her at the signing of the peace treaty for no other apparent reason except refusing to accept peace at all.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Toffee is polite, well-mannered and level-headed, however, this is only a surface level to his personality, and he's extremely deranged, petty and evil deep down. He always approach the people he intends to harm with a somewhat condescending politeness, showcasing he feels superior to them and disregards them as threats or is feigning goodness to manipulate them.
* {{Fingore}}: The middle finger on his right hand is severed, and doesn't grow back like his arm does. We later learn that a dark spell cast by Moon severed the finger and she (presumably intentionally) sealed it within her wand, preventing him from regrowing it. Star ends up removing the finger from the wand, and Toffee wants it back.
* FlawExploitation: He takes advantage of Ludo's BadBoss tendencies to convince his minions to turn on him and kick him out of his own castle.
* FluffyTheTerrible: One of the biggest threats in the series... and he's named after a candy.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Toffee's outfit in Moon's tapestry. In fact, Toffee was originally depicted shirtless in the tapestry, but then later they decided to give him a shirt and [[OffModel just forgotten to erase his nipples]].
* FourStarBadass: He is a former general who led the monster army against Mewni, but his last confrontation with Moon badly wounded his pride (and his finger), forcing him to hang up his chevrons and take up roles that involve brains rather than fighting.
* FromASingleCell: After losing his body, Toffee's spirit endured through his skeleton hand gripping half of the wand's star. Through it, he eventually regained a body by possessing Ludo's, and he regains his full body, finger and all, at the end of Battle for Mewni... briefly.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Toffee started out as the underdog leader of a Septarian gang, before they evolved into a full blown monster army.
* FusionDance: In addition to living inside Ludo himself after "The Hard Way", his skeletal right arm regrows onto Ludo's own, creating a much longer arm with a wand crystal embaded in the palm.
* GeniusBruiser: There's a reason he used to be a former general. Best shown when he is revived in "Toffee" where he effortlessly fends off Moon's attack and swats Marco, a human who regularly takes down monsters, into a wall with one hit.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: He can regrow his limbs, with the exception of his missing finger. Moon Butterfly severed the finger using dark magic and it was sealed in the wand until Star found and removed it, storing it in her closet.
* HealingFactor: Potent enough to regenerate a whole limb in moments. It was such a formidable ability that he is known (infamously) in Mewni lore as "the immortal monster". However, his finger was sliced off by magic that completely stunted his regenerative powers. Once he regains his finger, and in the process his original body, it's shown to be strong enough to heal instantly from Marco ''punching through his chest''. It ''can'' be overtaxed if he's damaged too badly, it's ''reaching'' that point that's the problem. It took Star half vaporizing him with a WaveMotionGun to do it, and even then Ludo had to crush him under a pillar to actually finish the job.
* HeroKiller: While he doesn't perform any combat in the first season, when he returns in "Starcrushed", using Ludo's body as a meat puppet, he's able to completely [[CurbStompBattle curb stomp]] the Magic High Commission, either killing them or reducing them to a death-like state. The only survivor is Moon and that's because Lekmet uses his powers to revive her, and even then Moon barely escapes with her life. Also according to Moon, Toffee killed her mother, Comet, a powerful queen in her own right, who nearly ended the conflicts between Mewmen and Monsters before he ruined everything.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: In contrast to Ludo's obvious and repeated desire to capture the wand, Toffee's ultimate motives are unknown. He plots to destroy the wand, in a gambit to ultimately get his finger. However, after he does achieve full regeneration, he just walks away until he's blasted by Star. Likewise, we know nothing of what motivated him to go rogue and kill Moon's mother in the first place, though WordOfGod seems to imply that he used to be a WellIntentionedExtremist who wanted to help monsters rise up against the Mewmans, and thus would not accept a peace treaty between the two species. More light is shed on things with the release of the ''Book of Spells'', which explains that Toffee was radicalized by Seth, the oldest Septarian who vehemently wanted Comet dead.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
** At the end of season 1 Toffee wants Star to destroy the wand, and when she does, it creates an explosion that takes out him and the monsters in the castle. However, though he seems briefly surprised when the wand begins to overload, the smile on his face right before it explodes indicates this isn't an unwelcome development. Officially subverted in Season 2, as what happened with the wand was indeed exactly what Toffee had planned. It was still a very risky move on his part, because he still had to do was wait for some unfortunate victim to retrieve him, and who knows how long that would've taken.
** He dismisses Ludo completely as an incompetent brat after he regains his body at the end of "The Battle for Mewni". After Star heavily damages his body with her new wand, Ludo finishes the job by knocking over a pillar onto his remains.
** His murder of Comet catalyzed her daughter Moon's hatred towards monsterkind in the first place, and ruined the chances for both their peoples uniting during her rule.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: A calm and collected "evil efficiency expert", Toffee is very much in contrast to the angry and bumbling Ludo during Season 1.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Despite his clear hatred towards the Mewmans and claiming they'd harmed the monsters, the current queen at the time of his rampage, Comet the Chef, was incredibly fair and was trying to fight for racial equality for the monsters her entire time from when she got the wand to her death and he murdered her at a peace treaty signing. In fact, Solaria was the last firmly anti-monster ruler of Mewni, with those from Festivia onward either being neutral or even positive towards monsters. At the end of the day, the only one Toffee has to blame for the monsters' situation not improving is himself.
* IGaveMyWord:
** After Star destroys her wand, he honors his word and releases Marco.
** Subverted in "Toffee", in which he gives his word that he'll return Star if Moon gives his finger back. Moon keeps her part of the bargain, he remorselessly does not, instead only releasing Ludo.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Just when it looked like he was calling Ludo out for his [[NeverMyFault behavior]] towards his minions after that failed mission, he kicks him out, but after that we find out he doesn't care about Ludo's minions any more than Ludo does.
* KilledOffForReal: At the end of "The Battle For Mewni," he is turned to goo by Star's SuperMode and subsequently smashed by a pillar courtesy of Ludo.
* TheKingslayer: He personally murdered Comet the Chef, the former Queen of Mewni, in the middle of a peace treaty.
* KnightOfCerebus: The series becomes several times darker once he shows up with his sinister {{leitmotif}}, a near complete lack of comedic traits (unlike Miss Heinous), and his manipulation of Ludo into firing Buff Frog. At the end of "Marco Grows a Beard", he takes control away from Ludo, kicks him out, and becomes the series' new BigBad. In season two, we learn his history with Star's family, and it's his return in the finale that destroys the Magic High Commission and forces Star to abandon her life on earth.
* KnightTemplar: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE According to]] Nefcy herself, he is "a Magneto-type villain", who's "[[VillainHasAPoint not wrong, but he's going about things the wrong way, you know]]". This is indicated in the past when, rather than accept a peace treaty between Mewmans and monsters, he goes rogue and kills the Queen of Mewni instead, desiring monster ''supremacy'' rather than monster equality.
* LackOfEmpathy:
** Didn't even bat an eyelash when he got Buff Frog fired and kicked out of his home.
** Once he regains his old body after he gets his finger, he callously crushes the broken crystal which is Star's only way back to Mewni. In front of Moon, Marco and Buff Frog. [[KickTheDog And coldly telling them that Star's gone]] and expresses boredom when Moon and Marco attempt to fight him.
* TheKingslayer: Assassinated Comet, the queen before Moon.
* LaserBlade: Wields a massive scimitar made of magic in his battle with Queen Moon.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/124638904741 Meet Toffee]]", an eerie, quiet, and simplistic tune.
* LizardFolk: A Septarian to be precise.
* LogicalWeakness: Toffee's regeneration is strong enough to rival [[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} Logan's]] but he does have limits. Obviously you can take him out with something that [[AntiRegeneration inhibits]] his HealingFactor but his healing ability can also simply be overloaded if enough damage is done. Also, presumably, if you throw him into an inferno or something that just keeps damaging him even if it doesn't do massive damage all at once, his healing factor will eventually fail. He might also be vulnerable to things like a lack of oxygen because a healing ability won't provide you with the sweet life sustaining air most things need.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction:
** When Star blasts off his arm, he only lets out a [[DullSurprise dull "oof!"]] and remains unconcerned and disinterested by the fact he lost his arm. {{Justified|Trope}} in that he has a [[HealingFactor healing factor]] so he can regenerate his arm quickly.
** In "Toffee", Marco punches a hole through his chest. The lizard shows absolutely no reaction but slight surprise.
* MalcolmXerox: {{Deconstruction}}
** Toffee was the first real threat Star went against, and his role revealed Mewni's dark history as xenophobic warmongers who conquered a new country and annexed its original inhabitants. Toffee was a militant who wanted revenge for the years of racial tension and he made an official statement by killing Comet, Moon's mother, during peace negotiations. Toffee was extreme in his methods, as he was willing to sacrifice his own people, was prepared to kill Marco to lure out Star, and he was just as extreme and bigoted as the Mewmans. Toffee's tactics and overall psychopathy showed that all Toffee cared about was creating a new world order where magic was destroyed and mewmans were either killed or subjugated under monster domination.
** For added tragedy, the Mewman Queen he murdered, Comet, was actually pro-monster and was working to improve the life of his people. Her murder causes Comet's daughter Moon to rise to the throne at an early age and distrust the monsters out of grief, meaning Toffee is the reason things did not improve for the monsters.
* MaliciousMonitorLizard: Like all Septarians, he looks like an anthropomorphic monitor lizard, and he's a ManipulativeBastard writ large.
* ManaDrain: While in Ludo's body, he gets the ability to drain the magic of others. Plus, it's not-so-subtly implied that the universe-wide "glitch" siphoning magic away might have something to do with him.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Toffee acts as the intelligence of Ludo's wand, once again pulling the strings behind the scenes until he decided to make his move and usurp Ludo once again at the end of "The Hard Way".
* TheManInFrontOfTheMan: Acts as Ludo's subordinate although his competence makes him a clear DragonInChief until "Marco Grows a Beard" when he tricks Ludo and convinces his minions to follow him instead.
* ManipulativeBastard:
** Practically plays up Ludo's trust while also observing Star's fighting skills. When he felt Buff Frog was onto him, he tricked Ludo into firing him. And when he had no more use of Ludo himself, he convinces his minions that Ludo was unfit to lead them and evicted Ludo from his own castle.
** He goads an elated Ludo into doubt and belligerence during Season 2 to trick him into reading Eclipsa's section of the Book of Spells, thereby allowing Toffee to take over Ludo's body.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Wears a nice suit, and is a smooth-operating villain.
* MaskOfSanity: Toffee seems to keep extremely calm, composed, and even professional at all times. All times, that is, save for one brief moment in the Season 1 finale where he reveals his true nature and completely loses his marbles for all of a second and a half, putting on a huge, toothy {{Slasher Smile}} while gleefully yelling "SURPRISE" after revealing his plans. He then... immediately goes back to calm, collected and professional like nothing happened.
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: Subverted. Contrary to the depiction in Moon's tapestry, when she blasted off his finger with Eclipsa's magic in the actual event, he showed nothing but mild discomfort and annoyance, even as he realized his healing factor wasn't working.
* MotiveDecay: In the past, Toffee's motive was clear-cut - to eliminate all Mewmans and retake Mewni for the monsters, with him even going rogue when the monster he served over was going to sign a peace treaty with the Mewmans. In the present, it seems he is driven solely by the desire for {{Revenge}} on Queen Moon - to get back what she took from him, his finger, and take away everything she has: her magic, her friends, her throne, and her daughter. It's possible that he still wishes for monsters to have Mewni again, but it isn't made clear.
* MrFanservice: For a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom certain crowd]]. A portrait depicting his younger self shows him in a shirt that looks all but painted on.
* MyCard: He gives Ludo a business card and introduces himself as an "Evil Efficiency Expert".
* MyDeathIsOnlyTheBeginning:
** He allowed himself to be killed by Star's exploding wand so his spirit could possess the broken half. Once Ludo picked it up, he manipulated Ludo into getting his hands on the spellbook and reading the forbidden chapter, allowing him to possess Ludo's body.
** It happens again in "Battle for Mewni". After getting reduced to a skeleton covered in goo by Star's SuperMode blast, he gives her an ominous message about how they haven't won yet and that only he knows "how this all turns out". [[spoiler: In retrospect, it seems like he somehow became aware of the future where magic was destroyed and had been convinced that he would be responsible for it. As he was dying, he knew that wasn't the case but also knew that the future without magic was still inevitable all the same.]]
* MysteriousPast: Since his first appearance, Toffee has been a character who's shrouded in mystery. Other than TheReveal that he used to be a general that led a Monster army against Mewni, killed Moon's mother Comet the Chef and lost his finger to Moon's darkest spell, next to nothing is known about his past. Given that he met Moon when she cast her spell on him after he killed her mother not too long ago, the fact that he has a bad history with the Butterfly family AND has intimate knowledge on the Butterfly family that no normal monster would know of such as the Book of Spells, Eclipsa's forbidden chapter, and the details of the first spell Moon taught Star implies a deeper connection that extends beyond not just Moon, but to the Royal family's history as a whole. The other hints to his past so far were also his knowledge and connection to the ancient monster temple which he showed Ludo as his wand and how both he and Glossaryck are very familiar with each other during their brief but casual interactions, establishing that the two have met before.
* NearVillainVictory: Toffee does succeed in getting revenge on Moon. He does eliminate her daughter, regains his finger and corrupt the realm of magic. He didn't expect Star to absorb the remaining magic and return from the realm.
* NeverMyFault: Despite his motivation of {{Revenge}} and claiming to have been wronged, he was the one who murdered the Queen who'd been nothing but kind to the monsters and was literally about to sign a peace treaty with the monsters when he did so, and thus his losing his finger is no one's fault but his own. This also means a large amount of the current Mewman/Monster tensions are directly his own fault.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Having Buff Frog fired ended up making the latter see what a selfish {{Jerkass}} Ludo is later on.
* {{No Nonsense Nemesis}}: Unlike Ludo or his henchmen, Toffee doesn't gloat, monologue, or waste time. He has a plan, and he carries it out with calm, calculated efficiency. He doesn't care if that means kidnapping, or even murdering, children. To him, it's all just one more step towards accomplishing his mysterious goals. Whereas nobody takes Ludo seriously, everyone, straight up to the Mewni Royal Family, is scared of Toffee.
* NonActionBigBad:
** Sits back and watches his plans from the sidelines. Even when Star attempts to directly physically confront him, he relies on his minions. In "Into The Wand", a tapestry shows him dressed in armor and leading a charge against Moon Butterfly, and "Moon the Undaunted" reveals that he was a general. He's proven to have earned his former position as a general due to his calm and calculating approach to forcing Star to surrender the wand. He also had great abilities in leadership as the monsters became far more effective under his orders and was able to successfully fulfil his plans without having to worry about resistance from enemies. As it turns out, it's less to do with the lack of any combat abilities but more with the lack of desire or interest to fight as hinted in "Storm the Castle" with his brief stint against Marco and established in "Toffee" as he easily fends off Moon and Marco's attacks with boredom.
** This is subverted in "Starcrushed", as Toffee was able to defeat and drain the magic from the Magic High Commission, without so much as taking a scratch in the fight.
** He subverts this again in "Toffee" and demonstrates his strength after he regains his old body against Moon and Marco, not even actually fighting them as much as very easily blocking their attacks and throwing them aside.
* NonMammalianHair: He has slicked-back black hair, despite being a LizardFolk.
* NonMammalMammaries: Despite being a LizardFolk, "Into the Wand" has a tapestry depict Toffee with nipples.
* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: Even with his HealingFactor at full power, he ''can'' be killed. However, it took him being nearly vaporized by a WaveMotionGun and then being crushed under a pillar to do so.
* NotSoStoic:
** In "Fortune Cookies", he briefly drops his composed attitude when he first sees how idiotic Ludo's minions are.
--->'''Ludo''': Give it to me straight. Are my monsters the worst ever or what?\\
'''Toffee''': Uh...
** When Marco calls him {{boring|Insult}}, a split-second shot reveals that he seems genuinely bothered by the remark.
** Crosses over with NightmareFace when he reveals his true desire to have Star [[spoiler:destroy the wand]], donning a scarier, more monstrous expression to say a single word. "SURPRISE!" He goes back to his stoic look in an instant, suggesting he can turn cold and stoic to crazy and monstrous on and off if he wants too.
** "Starcrushed" has him showing more of his [[MaskOfSanity well-hidden]] [[AxeCrazy insanity]] that was briefly hinted in "Storm the Castle". Particularly with his fight against Queen Moon where he's [[PsychoticSmirk smiling sinisterly]] and ''[[LaughingMad laughing maniacally]]''. And it's '''terrifying'''.
** Moon managing to damage his finger and prevent it from regenerating gets a reaction out of him, Star half-vaporizing him renders him LaughingMad, and he showed actual ''fear'' when he saw the WaveMotionGun that did it coming.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist:
** While implied to have once had good motives, they seem completely gone by now in favor of revenge. Even then, it's eventually revealed he murdered Comet more out of hatred than her having actually done anything wrong, as she was probably the single most ''pro-monster'' queen other than Eclipsa and genuinely trying to give the monsters racial equality.
** [[spoiler:Even though his decisions were fueled by his hatred towards Mewmans and Queen Moon, he was eventually right about one thing: magic is too dangerous and must be destroyed or corrupted beyond repair for the greater good. Even ''Star'' agrees with him in the end.]]
* NotWorthKilling: His attitude toward Moon after regaining his full physical form in "Toffee". She'd given back the finger she took from him, and he had taken away her daughter. Leaving her in the anguished mental and emotional state she was currently in was a FateWorseThanDeath for her, so he just walks away.
* OhCrap: His reaction to seeing the WaveMotionGun that damaged him badly enough for Ludo to finish him coming.
* OlderThanHeLooks: He looks to be around his mid-30s, but his conversation with Moon in "Starcrushed" implies older than that which was confirmed in "Moon the Undaunted" when he looks ''exactly'' the same as he does in the present when Moon was a child, revealing that he is older than Moon.
* OnlySaneMan: Given that he works for Ludo. Or, more more accurately, he's using Ludo.
* PetTheDog: A minor, yet valid example. While holding Marco prisoner in "Storm the Castle", Toffee makes him a sandwich and politely encourages him to eat. Even hostage situations aren't enough to kill Toffee's manners.
-->'''Toffee:''' Eat something. It could be your [[PrisonersLastMeal last meal]].
* PowerParasite: In "Starcrushed" he manages to possess Ludo, fuse himself physically with the wand, and absorb the powers of several members of the Magic High Commission.
* PragmaticVillainy:
** In "Marco Grows a Beard", he acts kind to Ludo's minions to make it easier to usurp Ludo, who [[MeanBoss hasn't really done anything but berate his men]].
** He suggests that Ludo use Buff Frog as his number two again rather than outright kill the man, as he's far more useful that way. While it fails due to Ludo having already mistreated him far too much, it was still a worthy idea.
** Once he gets his full body back in "Toffee", he just intends to walk away rather than try to kill Queen Moon and Marco, even when they attack him. As he no longer has magic, it makes more sense for him to go and reform his old army to conquer Mewni than waste time with a physical battle against his enemies.
* PrehensileTail: He uses it to grab Marco and return him to his seat.
* PsychoticSmirk: Since he was TheStoic for the majority of season 1, seeing this on his face means [[AllAccordingToPlan everything is going according to his plans]] and [[FromBadToWorse not good for the heroes.]] When he possess Ludo, he displays this most of the time.
* RasputinianDeath: Star in SuperMode melts him alive with a [[WaveMotionGun blast from her wand]], reducing him to a skeleton covered in black goo. That's not enough to kill him, so [[TheDogBitesBack Ludo]] finishes him off by knocking a pillar over his remains.
* RedBaron: All Septarians have regenerative abilities, but his were so swift and accelerated that he was known as "the Immortal Monster" in Mewni lore. In the "Moon the Undaunted", he was also called "The Lizard".
* RedRightHand: The middle finger of his right hand is missing from the moment he appears (it was taken by Moon Butterfly), despite his regenerative powers that allow him to regrow his entire left arm when Star blasts it off. Becomes more of one when he merges with Ludo, as Ludo's wand regenerates into it and attaches to him, becoming an oversized right arm with the wand fragment in the palm.
* RenegadeSplinterFaction: As revealed in ExpandedUniverse and touched upon in the series: Toffee was the general of the then current Monster King and his murder of Comet was an assassination at a peace treaty Comet had spent her entire reign trying to secure through kindness and tolerance. He and his forces were acting independently of the monster king's wishes.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: A lizard man to be specific.
* RetiredBadass: "Into The Wand" reveals that he was a fierce warrior in the past having faced Moon. The way he does things in the present all but implies that his fighting days are more or less over since that event, preferring to manipulate others and rely on strategy to get revenge against his enemies. "Starcrushed" shows he's still got it, though. It's not that he wanted to retire, but rather he was ''forced'' to due to wounded pride and the awareness that he needed a way around the power that Queen Moon wielded.
* {{Revenge}}: Implied to hold a grudge against the royal family of Mewni, cryptically stating that Ludo is "not the first monster to fall victim to their magic". He means that literally, considering he fought Moon Butterfly. This is apparently a racial trait.
* SelfServingMemory: Hearing him talk, he did nothing wrong and was the one wronged by the Butterfly Family. What he never so much as acknowledges is that he murdered Moon's mother, Comet, a genuinely good queen who'd spent her entire time with the wand trying to bury the hatchet with the monsters and treated them as equals, in cold blood at a peace treaty signing.
* SinisterScimitar: Wielded one in his youth, back when he used to fight Moon.
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Before he started wearing an elegant business suit, Toffee made it a habit to adorn the epaulettes of his armor with the skulls of slain Mewni royalty.
* SlasherSmile:
** Very briefly flashes one after he reveals he wanted Star's wand because he wanted to ''destroy'' it.
-->''Surprise~!''
** When he first appears to Star inside the wand in the climax of "Toffee" he displays a menacing one in his [[EldritchAbomination gigantic form consisting of magical goo.]]
* TheSociopath: Cold, calculating, and perfectly willing to crush Marco to death and beat down the Magic High Commission without a lick of remorse. As a teen, he was even willing to break Glossaryck's arm for the heck of it.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Toffee is always soft-spoken, polite and courteous. But beneath his [[FauxAffablyEvil affable exterior]], hides a cruel and heartless lizard who's willing to go to any lengths to secure his goals. Lacking remorse and empathy, he hides his own sadism and insanity quite well. Even in his gigantic magic goo form, he retains this trait.
* SoreLoser: His speech during his VillainousBreakdown certainly makes him come off as one.
-->'''Toffee:''' You think you've won?! HA! You don't make the plans! [[TheChessmaster I do! Me!]] Only I know how this all turns out!
* TheStarscream: Ultimately, proves to be this in "Marco Grows a Beard". He could've easily betrayed Ludo before, but he wanted to wait until Ludo showed weakness.
* StealthInsult: Toffee often takes a passive-aggressive approach to insulting people, a stark contrast to when he was a teenager, where he was more openly aggressive and straight-forward in his insults. One notable example was when he offered [[TheNapoleon Ludo]] a drink during his introduction:
--> '''Toffee''': West Mewnian swamp water. Or do you drink from the bottle?
** In "Moon the Undaunted", he greets Moon as princess and even bows to her. Except he's fully aware that the princess is now Queen since he's the one who killed her mother. [[KickTheDog Calling her "Princess" was to show his lack of respect for the newly ascended Queen, rubbing salt on the wound]].
* TheStoic: Always remains calm, collected, and professional.
* StrippedToTheBone: All that remained of him prior to fully taking over Ludo was his skeletal arm (complete with missing finger), which clasps the missing wand crystal part to serve as Ludo's own wand. It eventually regenerates after he completely overtakes Ludo, merging with Ludo's own arm.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: His eyes are gold and he has supernatural regenerating powers.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Though his plans ''require'' Ludo and his minions to be idiots, he's still occasionally exasperated by just how dumb they are.
* TeensAreMonsters: A teenage Toffee appears in "Meteora's Lesson", and it's shown he was more openly petty back then.
-->'''Glossaryck:''' (to Meteora) Yep, that's the bad boy who broke my arm. ''[...]'' I'm sure Toffee had a good reason for doing what he did.\\
'''Toffee:''' You were making that stupid leaf hat, so I snapped your arm.\\
'''Glossaryck:''' OK... not the best reason. But that doesn't mean he has to keep on doing terrible things. If he did, he'd... break my other arm.\\
'''Toffee:''' [[TheSociopath Oh. That's a good idea.]]
* ThanatosGambit: Made every indication that he knew that the Whispering Spell would make the wand explode and did not attempt to avoid his fate. As it turns out, he ''wanted'' to be reduced to spirit form so that his plan could progress further.
* TomTheDarkLord: An "evil efficiency expert" named [[EdibleThemeNaming "Toffee"]].
* {{Troll}}: He does this to Ludo during his introduction, bonus points for keeping a straight face and serious tone:
-->'''Ludo''': Where did you come from?\\
'''Toffee''': I let myself in.\\
'''Ludo''': When?\\
'''Toffee''': After you hired me.\\
'''Ludo''': I hired you?\\
'''Toffee''': I accept.
* TwoBeingsOneBody: He re-emerges in "Starcrushed" as a fusion between himself and Ludo, plus half of Star's wand. He appears to be the dominant personality most of the time, although his laugh at one point is eerily similar to Ludo's.
* UndignifiedDeath: Star blasts him with a powerful energy beam from her wand that reduces him to a skeleton covered in sludge, upon which he [[VillainousBreakdown goes on an unhinged rant about how he "makes all the plans" and only HE knows how everything will turn out]]. Ludo then [[TheDogBitesBack drops a pillar on him and finally ends him for good]].
* UnwittingPawn: This was Toffee's biggest flaw that he was unaware of. Toffee was using everyone as pawns for his own master plan. The irony is that Glossaryck was using Toffee as a pawn and a sacrifice to release Ecplisa. He was unaware that Glossaryck knew about his plans, but Glossaryck use his plans and manipulated Toffee's plans to get Ecplisa release. If Toffee found out that Glossaryck was the really using him then Toffee would realize he had no control of his plans, Toffee would have not go through with his plans, Toffee would have still be alive while Ecplisa would have remained in a crystal prison, and didn't want to be used as Glossaryck's pawn/puppet/sacrifice.
* VagueAge: It's unclear exactly how old Toffee is, as he doesn't age at all between "Moon the Undaunted" (set when Moon was still a teenager) and the present day. A younger Toffee is seen in "Meteora's Lesson", but how far back in Mewni's history Glossaryck and Meteora go to see him is never specified.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: He's proven to be a much darker and serious threat to Star and Marco compared to the series' other wacky and comedic villains. Each of his appearances sets up or progresses some major story arc.
* VillainHasAPoint: While he has no problem manipulating and harming others to achieve his goal of destroying magic, the series routinely shows that the Butterfly family abused magic in the past to oppress monsters, and continues to do so in the present day. [[spoiler:By the end of the series, even Star concedes that Toffee was right, and finishes the job he started to stop the Solarian insurrection.]]
* VillainTeleportation: Implied in his first appearance, where he randomly appeared in Ludo's room without explanation. He also seems to teleport in the finale when talking to Marco, to the point he seemingly appears in two places simultaneously.
* VillainousBreakdown: After Star utterly destroys his body and leaves him a corpse barely clinging to life, Toffee goes LaughingMad, ranting in a nightmarish voice about how he makes all the plans and knows everything, including how this all will end... just before he's unexpectedly killed by Ludo.
* VillainousWidowsPeak: Has a notable widow's peak and is the true main antagonist for the first part of the series.
* WalkingSpoiler: He's kind of important for someone who suddenly shows up out of nowhere in the middle of the first season, so it's hard to explain who he is without giving anything away. ''Especially'' in anything past said first season.
* WarriorPrince: According to ''Literature/TheMagicBookOfSpells'', Toffee is, or was, considered a prince during Comet Butterfly's reign and also was a former general.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: According to WordOfGod anyways, which [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE even compares him to]] Magneto. [[InformedAttribute This is yet to be seen]] beyond a clenched fist at a re-enactment of the great monster massacre at Mewni's founding, although it's more likely that the betterment of monsters was his goal in the past when he tried to overthrow Queen Moon, while he's [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumped off the slippery slope]] in the present day, [[MotiveDecay caring only for his own personal revenge]]. [[spoiler: With the TheReveal of the MHC conspiracy in Season 3 and the events of Season 4, it becomes apparent that Toffee did have a valid point that magic causes more harm than good with the MHC enforcing the status quo that continues to discriminate against monsters. It's just that his plans involving manipulation, kidnapping and killing are where he gets out of line]]. That said, this is still ultimately subverted, as Toffee's appearance in flashback shows he was always a sadistic bully, even to his fellow monsters. Now, all he wants is power, and he's willing to extend the tensions between monsters and Mewnis to do it.[[invoked]]
* WouldHitAGirl:
** He gleefully beats the tar out of both Queen Moon and Hekapoo, draining the latter of her magic and rendering her temporarily dead or comatose.
** He killed Moon's mother when Moon was Star's age.
* WouldHurtAChild:
** He was willing to crush Marco, a 14-year old boy, to death in front of Star so that she would comply to his demands. And in "Toffee" he hits Marco so hard that he sent him flying into debris after the latter punched him through the chest out of anger for Toffee seemingly killing Star.
** As Ludo's hand wand he tells him to Levitato a bunch of choir children [[FelonyMisdemeanor because they were singing off-key]].
** In "Starcrushed", he made it clear to Moon that he's going after Star for his finger upon returning. He makes word on his threat in "Toffee" when he doesn't keep his end of the bargain to return Star after Moon gave him his finger and he regained his old form, simply destroying the broken crystal shard while Star is still in there.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: He can regenerate a whole limb in just a few seconds after it's been blasted off by Star's wand, but cannot regenerate one of his fingers which was severed by an unidentified dark spell cast by Queen Moon and then sealed in the wand.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Toffee has yellow eyes which fit his manipulative and cunning nature.
* YouHaveFailedMe: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He convinces Ludo to fire Buff Frog after he fails to get Star's wand.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Toffee tells Ludo's monsters "It has been a pleasure" as the wand is about to explode. He got what he wanted, so he no longer had any use for his allies, deciding to [[TakingYouWithMe take them with him]].

!!Rasticore Chaosus Disastorvayne
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rasticore.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ChrisTergliafera
An agent for Miss Heinous to destroy Star and kidnap Marco. Was once a soldier of Toffee as well.
----
* AdvertisedExtra: He appears prominently in the title sequence throughout Seasons 3 and 4, despite being killed off about a fifth of the way into the former and Miss Heinous taking over the BigBad position.
* AllAccordingToPlan:
** In "Storm the Castle", not only does he successfully get Star to come to his territory, but [[TheBadGuyWins gets her to destroy the wand to save Marco]]. Even being destroyed by the resulting explosion was to his benefit, as he gained possession of half the wand in the process.
** Almost everything he does in Season 2 and "The Battle For Mewni" falls under this as well. Only one thing goes truly awry in his plan: he intended on gaining both his finger ''and'' Star's half of the wand so that he can be resurrected and have full power over the corrupted magic. But Star was smart enough not to bring her wand with her when she confronts Ludo, and Ludo is sensible enough to listen to Star about what's going on and allows her to perform the Whispering Spell on his half of the wand. With a full-powered wand no longer a possibility, Toffee settles on just resurrecting with his finger and leaving Star stranded in the Realm of Magic, only for her to claim the last spark of uncorrupted magic, achieve SuperMode, and return to defeat Toffee.
* AllForNothing:
** All his planning to get rid of magic; however, unknown to him that Glossaryck was using him and his plan to release Eclipsa. In season 3, Toffee believed his master plan work; however, when Star came back and she used her magic on Toffee. Toffee couldn't believe Star came back and his plans was for nothing. This lead to him finally snapped into insanity and dies by the hands of Ludo. The creators stated that Toffee really failed and was defeated at season 3 and he's defeat drove him insane before he died.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Several hints towards this. He's very delicate with his hands and makes a few gestures with them that are borderline limpwrist. His sense of fashion is not only done in pinks and purples, but is extremely formfitting to the point of being skin-tight with his battle uniform (and shear in some places according to Moon's tapestry to the point we can see through his shirt). He is very soft spoken and has a mellifluous voice. Finally, his entire army he was planning to use to fight against the Mewmans consisted of half-dressed (and some barely-dressed) men with barely any wearing a shirt.
* AmbiguousSituation:
** It's unclear if he was aware that Star using the Whispering Spell would cause her wand to explode as it did, since he's shocked when it starts to go off but gives an evil smirk just before detonation. This also makes his releasing Marco suspect, as if he didn't know, then it was him honoring his deal, while if he did, then it becomes him trying to kill Star and Marco. At the very least, he knew it would break the wand, which was really all he needed. As Season 2 shows, the only thing that put a hiccup into his plan was the fact he needed a body to use the wand's magic, a body Ludo [[DemonicPossession was more than able to provide]].
** Eclipsa's dating advice in ''Literature/TheMagicBookOfSpells'' [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/42c6e1c602705668cffc60884e3aaf3d/tumblr_inline_pf7sg1pfzR1sg3o5d_1280.png depicts a Septarian with a similar appearance to Toffee]], while her cons mention negative traits shared by him (chiefly "[[WouldHurtAChild not fond of magical Mewman girls]]" and "[[TheKingslayer probably wants to kill your mom]]"). Meanwhile, "The Hard Way" shows Toffee knows about the monster temple where Eclipsa and Globgor fled to. However, it's never outright said if this Septarian ''is'' Toffee, or if he and Eclipsa ever knew each other.
* ArchEnemy: "Into the Wand" reveals that he was this for Queen Moon back in her glory days.
* ArtifactOfDoom: Effectively ''becomes'' one as the spirit possessing Ludo's wand.
* AttackReflector: Once he fuses with the broken half of the wand, he can create a barrier that blocks projectiles and sends them back at the attacker.
* AxCrazy: When all his plans fell apart in season 3 and Star's blast turn him into a blob, he snapped.
* BackFromTheDead: Though his physical body is destroyed at the end of Season 1, he lives on inside the other fragment of Star's wand. He doesn't take any action until the end of Season 2, where he possesses Ludo's body.
* BackForTheDead: He finally regains his body in the episode "Toffee", only to be killed off by Star and Ludo by Star's powerful blast and Ludo using a pillar to crush what remained of his body.
* BadassInANiceSuit: In Season 1 and the end of "The Battle for Mewni", he's seen wearing a suit as his standard outfit and is one of the most threatening villains in the whole show.
* BatmanGambit: He's a master of this. Nearly all of his plans revolve entirely around characters doing exactly what you'd expect them to do. For example:
** His entire plan in "Mewnipendance Day" centers around Buff Frog being the only monster brave enough and loyal enough to volunteer to go on the mission to retrieve Star's wand by himself.
** In "Marco Grows a Beard", all he had to do was to get Ludo close to the wand, and Ludo, being [[BigBadWannabe Ludo]], will undoubtedly fail to retrieve it then [[NeverMyFault blame his monsters]] on the outcome, which set things up for his takeover.
** In "Storm the Castle", he recognizes that Star will do anything if it means saving Marco whenever he's in danger. With that knowledge, he was able to force her to destroy her wand in exchange for Marco's safety.
** Everything that Star and Ludo have done in Season 2 are all according to his designs.
** He manages to catch Queen Moon off guard by playing on her sympathy for Ludo and his estrangement from his parents, ''and'' the fact that the Magic High Commission would prioritize finding the missing Glossaryck, leaving Moon alone for him to ambush.
** Pulls off a final one in "Battle for Mewni" when Star uses the Whispering Spell again to free Ludo from the wand's control. Star is caught in the explosion and trapped in The Realm of Magic with Toffee, where he quickly overpowers her using all the tainted magic he's gathered up. He holds Star hostage and tells Queen Moon that he will release her daughter in exchange for his missing finger. Then he uses the finger to fully regenerate before crushing the wand fragment, destroying Star's only way home. Unfortunately for him, he didn't count on Star's SuperMode activating.
* BenevolentBoss: Subverted. While he treats Ludo's minions with more respect and kindness than Ludo himself ever did, it's all just an act to win them over to his side, and he has no problem removing those who don't, as was the case with Buff Frog.
* BigBad: The main threat for the first half of the series. Although he doesn't enter the story until "Fortune Cookies" about halfway through the first season, Toffee eventually ends up being the ''final antagonist'' of the first season, displacing the initial BigBad Ludo in the process. Then in Season 2, he displaces Ludo ''again'' by taking over his body after being freed from Ludo's wand. He is finally destroyed in the Season 3 premiere TV movie as a close to his story. Notably, the part of the TV movie he is killed in is the episode actually titled "Toffee", which, as the 39th episode, literally marks the end of the show's first half.
* BigBadEnsemble: With Ludo and Miss Heinous for seasons 1 and 2.
* BodyHorror: In "Battle for Mewni", when he regenerates ''around'' Ludo, coughing him up afterward, and when Star's SuperMode spell all but vaporizes him and Ludo squishes what was left under a pillar.
* BoringButPractical: His best plan to nab the wand? Kidnap Star's best friend and threaten to kill him if she doesn't cooperate. Much less flashy than Ludo's all-out attacks, but it is the first attack to do the trick.
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: Ludo destroying Toffee weakened Eclipsa's prison, since Moon's deal with Eclipsa's was that he would be killed in exchange for her release, and that will spell doom for Mewni. Even after death, Toffee managed to hurt Moon one last time.
* CameBackStrong: Ludo's body may be weak and puny, but he has half a wand fused onto his right arm and energy-draining abilities, and he is able to take on his enemies with greater resilience than before.
* TheChessmaster:
** He skillfully manipulates the events of "Mewnipendance Day" resulting in Ludo firing Buff Frog, the only minion with the intelligence to realize that Toffee wasn't loyal to Ludo. Furthermore, he manipulated Ludo's army into throwing Ludo out and becomes their leader instead. And it's implied that he's been waiting a while for Ludo to put on the display of weakness he needed to convince the monsters to rebel.
** Taken to new heights in Season 2, where the full scope of his plan is revealed and almost all comes together perfectly. However, it takes only one thing going completely off course - Star getting through to Ludo and performing a Whispering Spell on his wand, and then later "dipping down" and achieving SuperMode - to derail the whole thing and lead to his demise.
* TheCorrupter: As Ludo's wand, he advises Ludo on the course of action he should take. This makes Ludo susceptible to Toffee's manipulations but also more [[AxCrazy unhinged]] and [[TookALevelInJerkAss ruthless]] than he was before.
* TheCorruption: His presence within The Realm of Magic was enough to corrupt the universe's magic and weaken the Magic High Commission. When Star meets him in The Realm of Magic, he's essentially TheCorruption [[EldritchAbomination itself]].
* CreepyMonotone: He usually speaks in a deadpan, emotionless tone of voice. In Season 2, he more frequently sounds sadistically sinister as opposed to just stoic.
* DarkIsEvil: Wears a [[EvilWearsBlack dark suit]], and in ''Battle for Mewni'' he corrupted magic itself into an ocean of black oil.
* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: According to the creators, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE he was a]] WellIntentionedExtremist. Now, he seems like a stoic sociopath who only cares about {{Revenge}} on Queen Moon and regaining his full power.
* DeathByIrony:
** Ludo, the person he'd manipulated and admitted didn't amount to anything important in his goals, is the one who ultimately deals the finishing blow to kill him.
** Also, had he kept his word and brought Star out of the wand with him, he might have survived. As it stands, leaving Star to die directly leads to her obtaining her SuperMode and having the power to defeat him.
** Similarly, he told Ludo to leave Star alive because he planned on holding her hostage in exchange for his finger. This happens, but in a different way than he had intended because Star ends up performing the Whispering Spell on Ludo's wand, trapping her with Toffee and leading to the situation in which she gained her SuperMode.
* DemonicPossession: The end of "The Hard Way" has him possess Ludo to talk with Glossaryck, finally proving that he's still around as the voice in the wand Ludo's been listening to.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Toffee is usually methodical and intelligent, so when Star catches him off guard by returning from the realm of magic, he has a mental breakdown and insists [[ParanoiaGambit it's all according to plan and that only he knows how the story ends.]] Ludo shuts him up before he can elaborate any further.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He was the one pulling Ludo's strings for the first two seasons and by all rights he appeared ready to take center stage as the show's main antagonist in the third season. But by the end of the "Battle of Mewni" premiere (the third season's fourth episode), he's unceremoniously KilledOffForReal by Star and Ludo.
* DragonInChief:
** He's got more brains than anyone in Ludo's army, including Ludo himself, is treated much more ominously and as a greater threat and easily betrays Ludo and puts his own plan into action.
** He's also this to Seth of Septarsis, as he's following Seth's agenda but is the one doing the actual planning and work into fulfilling it, with no confirmation that Seth did anything for him other than inspire him.
* EldritchAbomination: His spirit was merged with the tainted magic he corrupted. When Star meets him in "Toffee", his form is the tainted magic itself, which manifest as a giant lizard made out of corrupted goo and a being who is one with the dark ocean of corrupted magic.
* EnergyAbsorption: After fusing with Ludo and half of Star's wand, his favorite tactic is draining the magic right out of his victims. This immediately puts the members of the Magic High Commission in a death-like state.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He first appears after Ludo notes he's dissatisfied with all the other applicants, [[StealthHiBye just kind of appearing in the room]] to talk to him about it, and then manipulates Ludo into hiring him, showing [[TheChessmaster what kind of character]] he is.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Played for laughs. Along with Buff Frog, even he thinks it's wrong (and frankly gross) for Ludo to spy on Star when she is in the bathroom.
** More notably, he kept his word and released Marco as soon as Star destroyed the wand. Although we later see that he has his reasons. It's more likely that his "release" of Marco was more about letting Star into the glass prison he was in and giving her a secure place to be as the wand and castle exploded, since she was needed alive for the rest of Toffee's plan, but otherwise had no reason keep Marco any longer. As for Moon, keeping Star was specifically to ''break'' her.
* EvilGenius: He's extremely smart and intellectual among the monsters, having knowledge about the royal family and magic, and plans strategies that are very effective. Seems to also be a GeniusBruiser since he used to be a general.
* EvilIsPetty:
** He gains access to half of one of the most powerful weapons in the universe at the end of Season 2 and his big declaration during the finale is that he's going after Star to get the finger Moon sliced off back. Without context, the importance of retrieving his severed finger and targeting Star to do so comes off as petty and cruel, but he needed it to make himself whole again.
** In "Toffee", as Ludo's wand hand, he's the one who suggested to Ludo to Levitato [[WouldHurtAChild the choir]] simply because they were singing off-key.
** In "Meteora's Lesson", a teenaged Toffee broke Glossaryck's arm just for making himself a leaf hat, and was willing to break the other one when told he didn't have to keep doing bad things.
* EvilLaugh: Downplayed at first. When he returns in Season 2, he lets out a sinister chuckle when Glossaryck confirms that he doesn't have a side. Played straight later on when he ambushed Queen Moon and during the fight against her.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Has a deep, smooth voice. Unsurprising, given who voices him.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: "Meteora's Lesson" shows that a young Toffee wore a mullet hairstyle, symbolizing his youthful rashness and naivete. As an adult, he switched to a neater haricut to represent how more mature and calculating he became.
* {{Expy}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE According to]] Nefcy herself, he is "a Magneto-type villain".
* TheExtremistWasRight: Toffee really believes that [[DoesNotLikeMagic magic is a problem]] and that people who have it will inevitably misuse or abuse it, so he inflicts TheCorruption on the Realm of Magic to rid the multiverse of it. [[spoiler:Star admits at the end of season 4 that he was right. Her family's ideas to solve problems by using magic would continuously only cause bigger and bigger problems, so she sets off in a quest to destroy all magic.]] That said, [[RightForTheWrongReasons Toffee's primary objection to magic was that it could harm Septarians, and didn't really care about the negative consequences it could have for anyone else, plus he specifically desired to see the people of Mewni exterminated once they couldn't defend themselves with magic]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity:
** Subverted. He gladly accepts his apparent death as Star's wand gets destroyed... but he actually didn't die at all, and he knew he was going to survive.
** Averted in ''Battle For Mewni''. He gets blasted by Star, leaving him as mostly just goop, eyes and bones, his last words being a 'You think you won?' type deal while clearly in a LaughingMad state of mind out of disbelief that this could be happening to him, before he actually bites it by Ludo crushing him with a pillar.
* FantasticRacist: Implied; as much as he talks about how the Mewmans have harmed monsters, the Mewman queen he killed, Comet, was genuinely benevolent, fair, and had been trying her entire reign to make peace and put an end to the conflict without further bloodshed when he assassinated her at the signing of the peace treaty for no other apparent reason except refusing to accept peace at all.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Toffee is polite, well-mannered and level-headed, however, this is only a surface level to his personality, and he's extremely deranged, petty and evil deep down. He always approach the people he intends to harm with a somewhat condescending politeness, showcasing he feels superior to them and disregards them as threats or is feigning goodness to manipulate them.
* {{Fingore}}: The middle finger on his right hand is severed, and doesn't grow back like his arm does. We later learn that a dark spell cast by Moon severed the finger and she (presumably intentionally) sealed it within her wand, preventing him from regrowing it. Star ends up removing the finger from the wand, and Toffee wants it back.
* FlawExploitation: He takes advantage of Ludo's BadBoss tendencies to convince his minions to turn on him and kick him out of his own castle.
* FluffyTheTerrible: One of the biggest threats in the series... and he's named after a candy.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Toffee's outfit in Moon's tapestry. In fact, Toffee was originally depicted shirtless in the tapestry, but then later they decided to give him a shirt and [[OffModel just forgotten to erase his nipples]].
* FourStarBadass: He is a former general who led the monster army against Mewni, but his last confrontation with Moon badly wounded his pride (and his finger), forcing him to hang up his chevrons and take up roles that involve brains rather than fighting.
* FromASingleCell: After losing his body, Toffee's spirit endured through his skeleton hand gripping half of the wand's star. Through it, he eventually regained a body by possessing Ludo's, and he regains his full body, finger and all, at the end of Battle for Mewni... briefly.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Toffee started out as the underdog leader of a Septarian gang, before they evolved into a full blown monster army.
* FusionDance: In addition to living inside Ludo himself after "The Hard Way", his skeletal right arm regrows onto Ludo's own, creating a much longer arm with a wand crystal embaded in the palm.
* GeniusBruiser: There's a reason he used to be a former general. Best shown when he is revived in "Toffee" where he effortlessly fends off Moon's attack and swats Marco, a human who regularly takes down monsters, into a wall with one hit.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: He can regrow his limbs, with the exception of his missing finger. Moon Butterfly severed the finger using dark magic and it was sealed in the wand until Star found and removed it, storing it in her closet.
* HealingFactor: Potent enough to regenerate a whole limb in moments. It was such a formidable ability that he is known (infamously) in Mewni lore as "the immortal monster". However, his finger was sliced off by magic that completely stunted his regenerative powers. Once he regains his finger, and in the process his original body, it's shown to be strong enough to heal instantly from Marco ''punching through his chest''. It ''can'' be overtaxed if he's damaged too badly, it's ''reaching'' that point that's the problem. It took Star half vaporizing him with a WaveMotionGun to do it, and even then Ludo had to crush him under a pillar to actually finish the job.
* HeroKiller: While he doesn't perform any combat in the first season, when he returns in "Starcrushed", using Ludo's body as a meat puppet, he's able to completely [[CurbStompBattle curb stomp]] the Magic High Commission, either killing them or reducing them to a death-like state. The only survivor is Moon and that's because Lekmet uses his powers to revive her, and even then Moon barely escapes with her life. Also according to Moon, Toffee killed her mother, Comet, a powerful queen in her own right, who nearly ended the conflicts between Mewmen and Monsters before he ruined everything.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: In contrast to Ludo's obvious and repeated desire to capture the wand, Toffee's ultimate motives are unknown. He plots to destroy the wand, in a gambit to ultimately get his finger. However, after he does achieve full regeneration, he just walks away until he's blasted by Star. Likewise, we know nothing of what motivated him to go rogue and kill Moon's mother in the first place, though WordOfGod seems to imply that he used to be a WellIntentionedExtremist who wanted to help monsters rise up against the Mewmans, and thus would not accept a peace treaty between the two species. More light is shed on things with the release of the ''Book of Spells'', which explains that Toffee was radicalized by Seth, the oldest Septarian who vehemently wanted Comet dead.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
** At the end of season 1 Toffee wants Star to destroy the wand, and when she does, it creates an explosion that takes out him and the monsters in the castle. However, though he seems briefly surprised when the wand begins to overload, the smile on his face right before it explodes indicates this isn't an unwelcome development. Officially subverted in Season 2, as what happened with the wand was indeed exactly what Toffee had planned. It was still a very risky move on his part, because he still had to do was wait for some unfortunate victim to retrieve him, and who knows how long that would've taken.
** He dismisses Ludo completely as an incompetent brat after he regains his body at the end of "The Battle for Mewni". After Star heavily damages his body with her new wand, Ludo finishes the job by knocking over a pillar onto his remains.
** His murder of Comet catalyzed her daughter Moon's hatred towards monsterkind in the first place, and ruined the chances for both their peoples uniting during her rule.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: A calm and collected "evil efficiency expert", Toffee is very much in contrast to the angry and bumbling Ludo during Season 1.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Despite his clear hatred towards the Mewmans and claiming they'd harmed the monsters, the current queen at the time of his rampage, Comet the Chef, was incredibly fair and was trying to fight for racial equality for the monsters her entire time from when she got the wand to her death and he murdered her at a peace treaty signing. In fact, Solaria was the last firmly anti-monster ruler of Mewni, with those from Festivia onward either being neutral or even positive towards monsters. At the end of the day, the only one Toffee has to blame for the monsters' situation not improving is himself.
* IGaveMyWord:
** After Star destroys her wand, he honors his word and releases Marco.
** Subverted in "Toffee", in which he gives his word that he'll return Star if Moon gives his finger back. Moon keeps her part of the bargain, he remorselessly does not, instead only releasing Ludo.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Just when it looked like he was calling Ludo out for his [[NeverMyFault behavior]] towards his minions after that failed mission, he kicks him out, but after that we find out he doesn't care about Ludo's minions any more than Ludo does.
* KilledOffForReal: At the end of "The Battle For Mewni," he is turned to goo by Star's SuperMode and subsequently smashed by a pillar courtesy of Ludo.
* TheKingslayer: He personally murdered Comet the Chef, the former Queen of Mewni, in the middle of a peace treaty.
* KnightOfCerebus: The series becomes several times darker once he shows up with his sinister {{leitmotif}}, a near complete lack of comedic traits (unlike Miss Heinous), and his manipulation of Ludo into firing Buff Frog. At the end of "Marco Grows a Beard", he takes control away from Ludo, kicks him out, and becomes the series' new BigBad. In season two, we learn his history with Star's family, and it's his return in the finale that destroys the Magic High Commission and forces Star to abandon her life on earth.
* KnightTemplar: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE According to]] Nefcy herself, he is "a Magneto-type villain", who's "[[VillainHasAPoint not wrong, but he's going about things the wrong way, you know]]". This is indicated in the past when, rather than accept a peace treaty between Mewmans and monsters, he goes rogue and kills the Queen of Mewni instead, desiring monster ''supremacy'' rather than monster equality.
* LackOfEmpathy:
** Didn't even bat an eyelash when he got Buff Frog fired and kicked out of his home.
** Once he regains his old body after he gets his finger, he callously crushes the broken crystal which is Star's only way back to Mewni. In front of Moon, Marco and Buff Frog. [[KickTheDog And coldly telling them that Star's gone]] and expresses boredom when Moon and Marco attempt to fight him.
* TheKingslayer: Assassinated Comet, the queen before Moon.
* LaserBlade: Wields a massive scimitar made of magic in his battle with Queen Moon.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/124638904741 Meet Toffee]]", an eerie, quiet, and simplistic tune.
* LizardFolk: A Septarian to be precise.
* LogicalWeakness: Toffee's regeneration is strong enough to rival [[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} Logan's]] but he does have limits. Obviously you can take him out with something that [[AntiRegeneration inhibits]] his HealingFactor but his healing ability can also simply be overloaded if enough damage is done. Also, presumably, if you throw him into an inferno or something that just keeps damaging him even if it doesn't do massive damage all at once, his healing factor will eventually fail. He might also be vulnerable to things like a lack of oxygen because a healing ability won't provide you with the sweet life sustaining air most things need.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction:
** When Star blasts off his arm, he only lets out a [[DullSurprise dull "oof!"]] and remains unconcerned and disinterested by the fact he lost his arm. {{Justified|Trope}} in that he has a [[HealingFactor healing factor]] so he can regenerate his arm quickly.
** In "Toffee", Marco punches a hole through his chest. The lizard shows absolutely no reaction but slight surprise.
* MalcolmXerox: {{Deconstruction}}
** Toffee was the first real threat Star went against, and his role revealed Mewni's dark history as xenophobic warmongers who conquered a new country and annexed its original inhabitants. Toffee was a militant who wanted revenge for the years of racial tension and he made an official statement by killing Comet, Moon's mother, during peace negotiations. Toffee was extreme in his methods, as he was willing to sacrifice his own people, was prepared to kill Marco to lure out Star, and he was just as extreme and bigoted as the Mewmans. Toffee's tactics and overall psychopathy showed that all Toffee cared about was creating a new world order where magic was destroyed and mewmans were either killed or subjugated under monster domination.
** For added tragedy, the Mewman Queen he murdered, Comet, was actually pro-monster and was working to improve the life of his people. Her murder causes Comet's daughter Moon to rise to the throne at an early age and distrust the monsters out of grief, meaning Toffee is the reason things did not improve for the monsters.
* MaliciousMonitorLizard: Like all Septarians, he looks like an anthropomorphic monitor lizard, and he's a ManipulativeBastard writ large.
* ManaDrain: While in Ludo's body, he gets the ability to drain the magic of others. Plus, it's not-so-subtly implied that the universe-wide "glitch" siphoning magic away might have something to do with him.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Toffee acts as the intelligence of Ludo's wand, once again pulling the strings behind the scenes until he decided to make his move and usurp Ludo once again at the end of "The Hard Way".
* TheManInFrontOfTheMan: Acts as Ludo's subordinate although his competence makes him a clear DragonInChief until "Marco Grows a Beard" when he tricks Ludo and convinces his minions to follow him instead.
* ManipulativeBastard:
** Practically plays up Ludo's trust while also observing Star's fighting skills. When he felt Buff Frog was onto him, he tricked Ludo into firing him. And when he had no more use of Ludo himself, he convinces his minions that Ludo was unfit to lead them and evicted Ludo from his own castle.
** He goads an elated Ludo into doubt and belligerence during Season 2 to trick him into reading Eclipsa's section of the Book of Spells, thereby allowing Toffee to take over Ludo's body.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Wears a nice suit, and is a smooth-operating villain.
* MaskOfSanity: Toffee seems to keep extremely calm, composed, and even professional at all times. All times, that is, save for one brief moment in the Season 1 finale where he reveals his true nature and completely loses his marbles for all of a second and a half, putting on a huge, toothy {{Slasher Smile}} while gleefully yelling "SURPRISE" after revealing his plans. He then... immediately goes back to calm, collected and professional like nothing happened.
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: Subverted. Contrary to the depiction in Moon's tapestry, when she blasted off his finger with Eclipsa's magic in the actual event, he showed nothing but mild discomfort and annoyance, even as he realized his healing factor wasn't working.
* MotiveDecay: In the past, Toffee's motive was clear-cut - to eliminate all Mewmans and retake Mewni for the monsters, with him even going rogue when the monster he served over was going to sign a peace treaty with the Mewmans. In the present, it seems he is driven solely by the desire for {{Revenge}} on Queen Moon - to get back what she took from him, his finger, and take away everything she has: her magic, her friends, her throne, and her daughter. It's possible that he still wishes for monsters to have Mewni again, but it isn't made clear.
* MrFanservice: For a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom certain crowd]]. A portrait depicting his younger self shows him in a shirt that looks all but painted on.
* MyCard: He gives Ludo a business card and introduces himself as an "Evil Efficiency Expert".
* MyDeathIsOnlyTheBeginning:
** He allowed himself to be killed by Star's exploding wand so his spirit could possess the broken half. Once Ludo picked it up, he manipulated Ludo into getting his hands on the spellbook and reading the forbidden chapter, allowing him to possess Ludo's body.
** It happens again in "Battle for Mewni". After getting reduced to a skeleton covered in goo by Star's SuperMode blast, he gives her an ominous message about how they haven't won yet and that only he knows "how this all turns out". [[spoiler: In retrospect, it seems like he somehow became aware of the future where magic was destroyed and had been convinced that he would be responsible for it. As he was dying, he knew that wasn't the case but also knew that the future without magic was still inevitable all the same.]]
* MysteriousPast: Since his first appearance, Toffee has been a character who's shrouded in mystery. Other than TheReveal that he used to be a general that led a Monster army against Mewni, killed Moon's mother Comet the Chef and lost his finger to Moon's darkest spell, next to nothing is known about his past. Given that he met Moon when she cast her spell on him after he killed her mother not too long ago, the fact that he has a bad history with the Butterfly family AND has intimate knowledge on the Butterfly family that no normal monster would know of such as the Book of Spells, Eclipsa's forbidden chapter, and the details of the first spell Moon taught Star implies a deeper connection that extends beyond not just Moon, but to the Royal family's history as a whole. The other hints to his past so far were also his knowledge and connection to the ancient monster temple which he showed Ludo as his wand and how both he and Glossaryck are very familiar with each other during their brief but casual interactions, establishing that the two have met before.
* NearVillainVictory: Toffee does succeed in getting revenge on Moon. He does eliminate her daughter, regains his finger and corrupt the realm of magic. He didn't expect Star to absorb the remaining magic and return from the realm.
* NeverMyFault: Despite his motivation of {{Revenge}} and claiming to have been wronged, he was the one who murdered the Queen who'd been nothing but kind to the monsters and was literally about to sign a peace treaty with the monsters when he did so, and thus his losing his finger is no one's fault but his own. This also means a large amount of the current Mewman/Monster tensions are directly his own fault.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Having Buff Frog fired ended up making the latter see what a selfish {{Jerkass}} Ludo is later on.
* {{No Nonsense Nemesis}}: Unlike Ludo or his henchmen, Toffee doesn't gloat, monologue, or waste time. He has a plan, and he carries it out with calm, calculated efficiency. He doesn't care if that means kidnapping, or even murdering, children. To him, it's all just one more step towards accomplishing his mysterious goals. Whereas nobody takes Ludo seriously, everyone, straight up to the Mewni Royal Family, is scared of Toffee.
* NonActionBigBad:
** Sits back and watches his plans from the sidelines. Even when Star attempts to directly physically confront him, he relies on his minions. In "Into The Wand", a tapestry shows him dressed in armor and leading a charge against Moon Butterfly, and "Moon the Undaunted" reveals that he was a general. He's proven to have earned his former position as a general due to his calm and calculating approach to forcing Star to surrender the wand. He also had great abilities in leadership as the monsters became far more effective under his orders and was able to successfully fulfil his plans without having to worry about resistance from enemies. As it turns out, it's less to do with the lack of any combat abilities but more with the lack of desire or interest to fight as hinted in "Storm the Castle" with his brief stint against Marco and established in "Toffee" as he easily fends off Moon and Marco's attacks with boredom.
** This is subverted in "Starcrushed", as Toffee was able to defeat and drain the magic from the Magic High Commission, without so much as taking a scratch in the fight.
** He subverts this again in "Toffee" and demonstrates his strength after he regains his old body against Moon and Marco, not even actually fighting them as much as very easily blocking their attacks and throwing them aside.
* NonMammalianHair: He has slicked-back black hair, despite being a LizardFolk.
* NonMammalMammaries: Despite being a LizardFolk, "Into the Wand" has a tapestry depict Toffee with nipples.
* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: Even with his HealingFactor at full power, he ''can'' be killed. However, it took him being nearly vaporized by a WaveMotionGun and then being crushed under a pillar to do so.
* NotSoStoic:
** In "Fortune Cookies", he briefly drops his composed attitude when he first sees how idiotic Ludo's minions are.
--->'''Ludo''': Give it to me straight. Are my monsters the worst ever or what?\\
'''Toffee''': Uh...
** When Marco calls him {{boring|Insult}}, a split-second shot reveals that he seems genuinely bothered by the remark.
** Crosses over with NightmareFace when he reveals his true desire to have Star [[spoiler:destroy the wand]], donning a scarier, more monstrous expression to say a single word. "SURPRISE!" He goes back to his stoic look in an instant, suggesting he can turn cold and stoic to crazy and monstrous on and off if he wants too.
** "Starcrushed" has him showing more of his [[MaskOfSanity well-hidden]] [[AxeCrazy insanity]] that was briefly hinted in "Storm the Castle". Particularly with his fight against Queen Moon where he's [[PsychoticSmirk smiling sinisterly]] and ''[[LaughingMad laughing maniacally]]''. And it's '''terrifying'''.
** Moon managing to damage his finger and prevent it from regenerating gets a reaction out of him, Star half-vaporizing him renders him LaughingMad, and he showed actual ''fear'' when he saw the WaveMotionGun that did it coming.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist:
** While implied to have once had good motives, they seem completely gone by now in favor of revenge. Even then, it's eventually revealed he murdered Comet more out of hatred than her having actually done anything wrong, as she was probably the single most ''pro-monster'' queen other than Eclipsa and genuinely trying to give the monsters racial equality.
** [[spoiler:Even though his decisions were fueled by his hatred towards Mewmans and Queen Moon, he was eventually right about one thing: magic is too dangerous and must be destroyed or corrupted beyond repair for the greater good. Even ''Star'' agrees with him in the end.]]
* NotWorthKilling: His attitude toward Moon after regaining his full physical form in "Toffee". She'd given back the finger she took from him, and he had taken away her daughter. Leaving her in the anguished mental and emotional state she was currently in was a FateWorseThanDeath for her, so he just walks away.
* OhCrap: His reaction to seeing the WaveMotionGun that damaged him badly enough for Ludo to finish him coming.
* OlderThanHeLooks: He looks to be around his mid-30s, but his conversation with Moon in "Starcrushed" implies older than that which was confirmed in "Moon the Undaunted" when he looks ''exactly'' the same as he does in the present when Moon was a child, revealing that he is older than Moon.
* OnlySaneMan: Given that he works for Ludo. Or, more more accurately, he's using Ludo.
* PetTheDog: A minor, yet valid example. While holding Marco prisoner in "Storm the Castle", Toffee makes him a sandwich and politely encourages him to eat. Even hostage situations aren't enough to kill Toffee's manners.
-->'''Toffee:''' Eat something. It could be your [[PrisonersLastMeal last meal]].
* PowerParasite: In "Starcrushed" he manages to possess Ludo, fuse himself physically with the wand, and absorb the powers of several members of the Magic High Commission.
* PragmaticVillainy:
** In "Marco Grows a Beard", he acts kind to Ludo's minions to make it easier to usurp Ludo, who [[MeanBoss hasn't really done anything but berate his men]].
** He suggests that Ludo use Buff Frog as his number two again rather than outright kill the man, as he's far more useful that way. While it fails due to Ludo having already mistreated him far too much, it was still a worthy idea.
** Once he gets his full body back in "Toffee", he just intends to walk away rather than try to kill Queen Moon and Marco, even when they attack him. As he no longer has magic, it makes more sense for him to go and reform his old army to conquer Mewni than waste time with a physical battle against his enemies.
* PrehensileTail: He uses it to grab Marco and return him to his seat.
* PsychoticSmirk: Since he was TheStoic for the majority of season 1, seeing this on his face means [[AllAccordingToPlan everything is going according to his plans]] and [[FromBadToWorse not good for the heroes.]] When he possess Ludo, he displays this most of the time.
* RasputinianDeath: Star in SuperMode melts him alive with a [[WaveMotionGun blast from her wand]], reducing him to a skeleton covered in black goo. That's not enough to kill him, so [[TheDogBitesBack Ludo]] finishes him off by knocking a pillar over his remains.
* RedBaron: All Septarians have regenerative abilities, but his were so swift and accelerated that he was known as "the Immortal Monster" in Mewni lore. In the "Moon the Undaunted", he was also called "The Lizard".
* RedRightHand: The middle finger of his right hand is missing from the moment he appears (it was taken by Moon Butterfly), despite his regenerative powers that allow him to regrow his entire left arm when Star blasts it off. Becomes more of one when he merges with Ludo, as Ludo's wand regenerates into it and attaches to him, becoming an oversized right arm with the wand fragment in the palm.
* RenegadeSplinterFaction: As revealed in ExpandedUniverse and touched upon in the series: Toffee was the general of the then current Monster King and his murder of Comet was an assassination at a peace treaty Comet had spent her entire reign trying to secure through kindness and tolerance. He and his forces were acting independently of the monster king's wishes.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: A lizard man to be specific.
* RetiredBadass: "Into The Wand" reveals that he was a fierce warrior in the past having faced Moon. The way he does things in the present all but implies that his fighting days are more or less over since that event, preferring to manipulate others and rely on strategy to get revenge against his enemies. "Starcrushed" shows he's still got it, though. It's not that he wanted to retire, but rather he was ''forced'' to due to wounded pride and the awareness that he needed a way around the power that Queen Moon wielded.
* {{Revenge}}: Implied to hold a grudge against the royal family of Mewni, cryptically stating that Ludo is "not the first monster to fall victim to their magic". He means that literally, considering he fought Moon Butterfly. This is apparently a racial trait.
* SelfServingMemory: Hearing him talk, he did nothing wrong and was the one wronged by the Butterfly Family. What he never so much as acknowledges is that he murdered Moon's mother, Comet, a genuinely good queen who'd spent her entire time with the wand trying to bury the hatchet with the monsters and treated them as equals, in cold blood at a peace treaty signing.
* SinisterScimitar: Wielded one in his youth, back when he used to fight Moon.
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Before he started wearing an elegant business suit, Toffee made it a habit to adorn the epaulettes of his armor with the skulls of slain Mewni royalty.
* SlasherSmile:
** Very briefly flashes one after he reveals he wanted Star's wand because he wanted to ''destroy'' it.
-->''Surprise~!''
** When he first appears to Star inside the wand in the climax of "Toffee" he displays a menacing one in his [[EldritchAbomination gigantic form consisting of magical goo.]]
* TheSociopath: Cold, calculating, and perfectly willing to crush Marco to death and beat down the Magic High Commission without a lick of remorse. As a teen, he was even willing to break Glossaryck's arm for the heck of it.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Toffee is always soft-spoken, polite and courteous. But beneath his [[FauxAffablyEvil affable exterior]], hides a cruel and heartless lizard who's willing to go to any lengths to secure his goals. Lacking remorse and empathy, he hides his own sadism and insanity quite well. Even in his gigantic magic goo form, he retains this trait.
* SoreLoser: His speech during his VillainousBreakdown certainly makes him come off as one.
-->'''Toffee:''' You think you've won?! HA! You don't make the plans! [[TheChessmaster I do! Me!]] Only I know how this all turns out!
* TheStarscream: Ultimately, proves to be this in "Marco Grows a Beard". He could've easily betrayed Ludo before, but he wanted to wait until Ludo showed weakness.
* StealthInsult: Toffee often takes a passive-aggressive approach to insulting people, a stark contrast to when he was a teenager, where he was more openly aggressive and straight-forward in his insults. One notable example was when he offered [[TheNapoleon Ludo]] a drink during his introduction:
--> '''Toffee''': West Mewnian swamp water. Or do you drink from the bottle?
** In "Moon the Undaunted", he greets Moon as princess and even bows to her. Except he's fully aware that the princess is now Queen since he's the one who killed her mother. [[KickTheDog Calling her "Princess" was to show his lack of respect for the newly ascended Queen, rubbing salt on the wound]].
* TheStoic: Always remains calm, collected, and professional.
* StrippedToTheBone: All that remained of him prior to fully taking over Ludo was his skeletal arm (complete with missing finger), which clasps the missing wand crystal part to serve as Ludo's own wand. It eventually regenerates after he completely overtakes Ludo, merging with Ludo's own arm.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: His eyes are gold and he has supernatural regenerating powers.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Though his plans ''require'' Ludo and his minions to be idiots, he's still occasionally exasperated by just how dumb they are.
* TeensAreMonsters: A teenage Toffee appears in "Meteora's Lesson", and it's shown he was more openly petty back then.
-->'''Glossaryck:''' (to Meteora) Yep, that's the bad boy who broke my arm. ''[...]'' I'm sure Toffee had a good reason for doing what he did.\\
'''Toffee:''' You were making that stupid leaf hat, so I snapped your arm.\\
'''Glossaryck:''' OK... not the best reason. But that doesn't mean he has to keep on doing terrible things. If he did, he'd... break my other arm.\\
'''Toffee:''' [[TheSociopath Oh. That's a good idea.]]
* ThanatosGambit: Made every indication that he knew that the Whispering Spell would make the wand explode and did not attempt to avoid his fate. As it turns out, he ''wanted'' to be reduced to spirit form so that his plan could progress further.
* TomTheDarkLord: An "evil efficiency expert" named [[EdibleThemeNaming "Toffee"]].
* {{Troll}}: He does this to Ludo during his introduction, bonus points for keeping a straight face and serious tone:
-->'''Ludo''': Where did you come from?\\
'''Toffee''': I let myself in.\\
'''Ludo''': When?\\
'''Toffee''': After you hired me.\\
'''Ludo''': I hired you?\\
'''Toffee''': I accept.
* TwoBeingsOneBody: He re-emerges in "Starcrushed" as a fusion between himself and Ludo, plus half of Star's wand. He appears to be the dominant personality most of the time, although his laugh at one point is eerily similar to Ludo's.
* UndignifiedDeath: Star blasts him with a powerful energy beam from her wand that reduces him to a skeleton covered in sludge, upon which he [[VillainousBreakdown goes on an unhinged rant about how he "makes all the plans" and only HE knows how everything will turn out]]. Ludo then [[TheDogBitesBack drops a pillar on him and finally ends him for good]].
* UnwittingPawn: This was Toffee's biggest flaw that he was unaware of. Toffee was using everyone as pawns for his own master plan. The irony is that Glossaryck was using Toffee as a pawn and a sacrifice to release Ecplisa. He was unaware that Glossaryck knew about his plans, but Glossaryck use his plans and manipulated Toffee's plans to get Ecplisa release. If Toffee found out that Glossaryck was the really using him then Toffee would realize he had no control of his plans, Toffee would have not go through with his plans, Toffee would have still be alive while Ecplisa would have remained in a crystal prison, and didn't want to be used as Glossaryck's pawn/puppet/sacrifice.
* VagueAge: It's unclear exactly how old Toffee is, as he doesn't age at all between "Moon the Undaunted" (set when Moon was still a teenager) and the present day. A younger Toffee is seen in "Meteora's Lesson", but how far back in Mewni's history Glossaryck and Meteora go to see him is never specified.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: He's proven to be a much darker and serious threat to Star and Marco compared to the series' other wacky and comedic villains. Each of his appearances sets up or progresses some major story arc.
* VillainHasAPoint: While he has no problem manipulating and harming others to achieve his goal of destroying magic, the series routinely shows that the Butterfly family abused magic in the past to oppress monsters, and continues to do so in the present day. [[spoiler:By the end of the series, even Star concedes that Toffee was right, and finishes the job he started to stop the Solarian insurrection.]]
* VillainTeleportation: Implied in his first appearance, where he randomly appeared in Ludo's room without explanation. He also seems to teleport in the finale when talking to Marco, to the point he seemingly appears in two places simultaneously.
* VillainousBreakdown: After Star utterly destroys his body and leaves him a corpse barely clinging to life, Toffee goes LaughingMad, ranting in a nightmarish voice about how he makes all the plans and knows everything, including how this all will end... just before he's unexpectedly killed by Ludo.
* VillainousWidowsPeak: Has a notable widow's peak and is the true main antagonist for the first part of the series.
* WalkingSpoiler: He's kind of important for someone who suddenly shows up out of nowhere in the middle of the first season, so it's hard to explain who he is without giving anything away. ''Especially'' in anything past said first season.
* WarriorPrince: According to ''Literature/TheMagicBookOfSpells'', Toffee is, or was, considered a prince during Comet Butterfly's reign and also was a former general.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: According to WordOfGod anyways, which [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE even compares him to]] Magneto. [[InformedAttribute This is yet to be seen]] beyond a clenched fist at a re-enactment of the great monster massacre at Mewni's founding, although it's more likely that the betterment of monsters was his goal in the past when he tried to overthrow Queen Moon, while he's [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumped off the slippery slope]] in the present day, [[MotiveDecay caring only for his own personal revenge]]. [[spoiler: With the TheReveal of the MHC conspiracy in Season 3 and the events of Season 4, it becomes apparent that Toffee did have a valid point that magic causes more harm than good with the MHC enforcing the status quo that continues to discriminate against monsters. It's just that his plans involving manipulation, kidnapping and killing are where he gets out of line]]. That said, this is still ultimately subverted, as Toffee's appearance in flashback shows he was always a sadistic bully, even to his fellow monsters. Now, all he wants is power, and he's willing to extend the tensions between monsters and Mewnis to do it.[[invoked]]
* WouldHitAGirl:
** He gleefully beats the tar out of both Queen Moon and Hekapoo, draining the latter of her magic and rendering her temporarily dead or comatose.
** He killed Moon's mother when Moon was Star's age.
* WouldHurtAChild:
** He was willing to crush Marco, a 14-year old boy, to death in front of Star so that she would comply to his demands. And in "Toffee" he hits Marco so hard that he sent him flying into debris after the latter punched him through the chest out of anger for Toffee seemingly killing Star.
** As Ludo's hand wand he tells him to Levitato a bunch of choir children [[FelonyMisdemeanor because they were singing off-key]].
** In "Starcrushed", he made it clear to Moon that he's going after Star for his finger upon returning. He makes word on his threat in "Toffee" when he doesn't keep his end of the bargain to return Star after Moon gave him his finger and he regained his old form, simply destroying the broken crystal shard while Star is still in there.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: He can regenerate a whole limb in just a few seconds after it's been blasted off by Star's wand, but cannot regenerate one of his fingers which was severed by an unidentified dark spell cast by Queen Moon and then sealed in the wand.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Toffee has yellow eyes which fit his manipulative and cunning nature.
* YouHaveFailedMe: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He convinces Ludo to fire Buff Frog after he fails to get Star's wand.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Toffee tells Ludo's monsters "It has been a pleasure" as the wand is about to explode. He got what he wanted, so he no longer had any use for his allies, deciding to [[TakingYouWithMe take them with him]].

Deleted line(s) 50,267 (click to see context) :
* AchillesHeel: It seems the only thing that can disrupt his healing is the Wand's Magic at full power. It proved instrumental in weakening him enough during the end of ''Battle For Mewni'' that Ludo was able to finish him off.
* AdvertisedExtra: He appears prominently in the title sequence throughout Seasons 3 and 4, despite being killed off about a fifth of the way into the former and Miss Heinous taking over the BigBad position.
* AllAccordingToPlan:
** In "Storm the Castle", not only does he successfully get Star to come to his territory, but [[TheBadGuyWins gets her to destroy the wand to save Marco]]. Even being destroyed by the resulting explosion was to his benefit, as he gained possession of half the wand in the process.
** Almost everything he does in Season 2 and "The Battle For Mewni" falls under this as well. Only one thing goes truly awry in his plan: he intended on gaining both his finger ''and'' Star's half of the wand so that he can be resurrected and have full power over the corrupted magic. But Star was smart enough not to bring her wand with her when she confronts Ludo, and Ludo is sensible enough to listen to Star about what's going on and allows her to perform the Whispering Spell on his half of the wand. With a full-powered wand no longer a possibility, Toffee settles on just resurrecting with his finger and leaving Star stranded in the Realm of Magic, only for her to claim the last spark of uncorrupted magic, achieve SuperMode, and return to defeat Toffee.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear if he was aware that Star using the Whispering Spell would cause her wand to explode as it did, since he's shocked when it starts to go off but gives an evil smirk just before detonation. This also makes his releasing Marco suspect, as if he didn't know, then it was him honoring his deal, while if he did, then it becomes him trying to kill Star and Marco. At the very least, he knew it would break the wand, which was really all he needed. As Season 2 shows, the only thing that put a hiccup into his plan was the fact he needed a body to use the wand's magic, a body Ludo [[DemonicPossession was more than able to provide]].
* ArchEnemy: "Into the Wand" reveals that he was this for Queen Moon back in her glory days
* ArtifactOfDoom: Effectively ''becomes'' one as the spirit possessing Ludo's wand.
* AttackReflector: Once he fuses with the broken half of the wand, he can create a barrier that blocks projectiles and sends them back at the attacker.
* BackFromTheDead: Though his physical body is destroyed at the end of Season 1, he lives on inside the other fragment of Star's wand. He doesn't take any action until the end of Season 2, where he possesses Ludo's body.
* BackForTheDead: He finally regains his body in the episode "Toffee", only to be killed off by Star and Ludo by Star's powerful blast and Ludo using a pillar to crush what remained of his body.
* BadassInANiceSuit: In Season 1 and the end of "The Battle for Mewni", he's seen wearing a suit as his standard outfit and is one of the most threatening villains in the whole show.
* BatmanGambit: He's a master of this. Nearly all of his plans revolve entirely around characters doing exactly what you'd expect them to do. For example:
** His entire plan in "Mewnipendance Day" centers around Buff Frog being the only monster brave enough and loyal enough to volunteer to go on the mission to retrieve Star's wand by himself.
** In "Marco Grows a Beard", all he had to do was to get Ludo close to the wand, and Ludo, being [[BigBadWannabe Ludo]], will undoubtedly fail to retrieve it then [[NeverMyFault blame his monsters]] on the outcome, which set things up for his takeover.
** In "Storm the Castle", he recognizes that Star will do anything if it means saving Marco whenever he's in danger. With that knowledge he was able to force her to destroy her wand in exchange for Marco's safety.
** Everything that Star and Ludo have done in Season 2 are all according to his designs.
** He manages to catch Queen Moon off guard by playing on her sympathy for Ludo and his [[NotSoDifferent estrangement from his parents]], ''and'' the fact that the Magic High Commission would prioritize finding the missing Glossaryck, leaving Moon alone for him to ambush.
** Pulls off a final one in "Battle for Mewni" when Star uses the Whispering Spell again to free Ludo from the wand's control. Star is caught in the explosion and trapped in The Realm of Magic with Toffee, where he quickly overpowers her using all the tainted magic he's gathered up. He holds Star hostage and tells Queen Moon that he will release her daughter in exchange for his missing finger. Then he uses the finger to fully regenerate before crushing the wand fragment, destroying Star's only way home. Unfortunately for him, he didn't count on Star's SuperMode activating.
* BenevolentBoss: Subverted. Outwardly he acts respectful to Ludo's underlings but comments like "...you fat sack of garbage" spoken under his breath about Buff Frog reveal it's only an act.
* BigBad: The overarching Big Bad for the first half of the series. Although he doesn't enter the story until "Fortune Cookies" about halfway through the first season, Toffee eventually ends up being the ''final antagonist'' of the first season. Then in Season 2, he displaces Ludo ''again'' by taking over his body after being freed from Ludo's wand. He is finally destroyed in the Season 3 premiere TV movie as a close to his story. Notably, the part of the TV movie he is killed in is the episode actually titled "Toffee", which, as the 39th episode, literally marks the end of the show's first half.
* BodyHorror: In "Battle for Mewni", when he regenerates ''around'' Ludo, coughing him up afterwards, and when Star's SuperMode spell all but vaporizes him and Ludo squishes what was left under a pillar.
* BoringButPractical: His best plan to nab the wand? Kidnap Star's best friend and threaten to kill him if she doesn't cooperate. Much less flashy than Ludo's all out attacks, but it is the first attack to do the trick.
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: Ludo destroying Toffee weakened Eclipsa's prison, since Moon's deal with Eclipsa's was that he would be killed in exchange for her release, and that will spell doom for Mewni. Even after death, Toffee managed to hurt Moon one last time.
* CameBackStrong: Ludo's body may be weak and puny, but he has half a wand fused onto his right arm and energy draining abilities, and he is able to take on his enemies with greater resilience than before.
* TheChessmaster:
** He skillfully manipulates the events of "Mewnipendance Day" resulting in Ludo firing Buff Frog, the only minion with the intelligence to realize that Toffee wasn't loyal to Ludo. Furthermore, he manipulated Ludo's army into throwing Ludo out and becomes their leader instead. And it's implied that he's been waiting a while for Ludo to put on the display of weakness he needed to convince the monsters to rebel.
** Taken to new heights in Season 2, where the full scope of his plan is revealed and almost all comes together perfectly. However, it takes only one thing going completely off course - Star getting through to Ludo and performing a Whispering Spell on his wand, and then later "dipping down" and achieving SuperMode - to derail the whole thing and lead to his demise.
* TheCorrupter: As Ludo's wand, he advises Ludo on the course of action he should take. This makes Ludo susceptible to Toffee's manipulations but also more [[AxeCrazy unhinged]] and [[TookALevelInJerkAss ruthless]] than he was before.
* TheCorruption: His presence within The Realm of Magic was enough to corrupt the universe's magic and weaken the Magic High Commission. When Star meets him in The Realm of Magic, he's essentially TheCorruption [[EldritchAbomination itself]].
* CreepyMonotone: He usually speaks in a deadpan, emotionless tone of voice. In Season 2, he more frequently sounds sadistically sinister as opposed to just stoic.
* DarkIsEvil: Wears a [[EvilWearsBlack dark suit]], and in ''Battle for Mewni'' he corrupted magic itself into an ocean of black oil.
* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: According to the creators, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE he was a]] WellIntentionedExtremist. Now, he seems like a stoic sociopath who only cares about {{Revenge}} on Queen Moon and regaining his full power.
* DeathByIrony:
** Ludo, the person he'd manipulated and admitted didn't amount to anything important in his goals, is the one who ultimately deals the finishing blow to kill him.
** Also, had he kept his word and brought Star out of the wand with him, he might have survived. As it stands, leaving Star to die directly leads to her obtaining her SuperMode and having the power to defeat him.
** Similarly, he told Ludo to leave Star alive because he planned on holding her hostage in exchange for his finger. This happens, but in a different way than he had intended because Star ends up performing the Whispering Spell on Ludo's wand, trapping her with Toffee and leading to the situation in which she gained her SuperMode.
* DemonicPossession: The end of "The Hard Way" has him possess Ludo to talk with Glossaryck, finally proving that he's still around as the voice in the wand Ludo's been listening to.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Toffee is usually methodical and intelligent, so when Star catches him off guard by returning from the realm of magic, he has a mental breakdown and insists [[ParanoiaGambit it's all according to plan and that only he knows how the story ends.]] Ludo shuts him up before he can elaborate any further.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He was the one pulling Ludo's strings for the first two seasons and by all rights he appeared ready to take center stage as the show's main antagonist in the third season. But by the end of the "Battle of Mewni" premiere (the third season's fourth episode), he's unceremoniously KilledOffForReal by Star and Ludo.
* DragonInChief:
** He's got more brains than anyone in Ludo's army, including Ludo himself, is treated much more ominously and as a greater threat and easily betrays Ludo and puts his own plan into action.
** He's also this to Seth of Septarsis, as he's following Seth's agenda but is the one doing the actual planning and work into fulfilling it, with no confirmation that Seth did anything for him other than inspire him.
* EldritchAbomination: His spirit was merged with the tainted magic he corrupted. When Star meets him in "Toffee", his form is the tainted magic itself, which manifest as a giant lizard made out of corrupted goo and a being who is one with the dark ocean of corrupted magic.
* EnergyAbsorption: After fusing with Ludo and half of Star's wand, his favorite tactic is draining the magic right out of his victims. This immediately puts the members of the Magic High Commission in a death-like state.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He first appears after Ludo notes he's dissatisfied with all the other applicants, [[StealthHiBye just kind of appearing in the room]] to talk to him about it, and then manipulates Ludo into hiring him, showing [[TheChessmaster what kind of character]] he is.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Played for laughs. Along with Buff Frog, even he thinks it's wrong (and frankly gross) for Ludo to spy on Star when she is in the bathroom.
** More notably, he kept his word and released Marco as soon as Star destroyed the wand. Although we later see that he has his reasons. It's more likely that his "release" of Marco was more about letting Star into the glass prison he was in and giving her a secure place to be as the wand and castle exploded, since she was needed alive for the rest of Toffee's plan, but otherwise had no reason keep Marco any longer. As for Moon, keeping Star was specifically to ''break'' her.
* EvilGenius: He's extremely smart and intellectual among the monsters, having knowledge about the royal family and magic, and plans strategies that are very effective. Seems to also be a GeniusBruiser since he used to be a general.
* EvilIsPetty:
** He gains access to half of one of the most powerful weapons in the universe at the end of Season 2 and his big declaration during the finale is that he's going after Star to get the finger Moon sliced off back. Without context, the importance of retrieving his severed finger and targeting Star to do so comes off as petty and cruel, but he needed it to make himself whole again.
** In "Toffee", as Ludo's wand hand, he's the one who suggested to Ludo to Levitato [[WouldHurtAChild the choir]] simply because they were singing off-key.
** In "Meteora's Lesson", a teenaged Toffee broke Glossaryck's arm just for making himself a leaf hat, and was willing to break the other one when told he didn't have to keep doing bad things.
* EvilLaugh: Downplayed at first. When he returns in Season 2, he lets out a sinister chuckle when Glossaryck confirms that he doesn't have a side. Played straight later on when he ambushed Queen Moon and during the fight against her.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Has a deep, smooth voice. Unsurprising, given who voices him.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: "Meteora's Lesson" shows that a young Toffee wore a mullet hairstyle, symbolizing his youthful rashness and naivete. As an adult, he switched to a neater haricut to represent how more mature and calculating he became.
* {{Expy}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE According to]] Nefcy herself, he is "a Magneto-type villain".
* TheExtremistWasRight: Toffee really believes that [[DoesNotLikeMagic magic is a problem]] and that people who have it will inevitably misuse or abuse it, so he inflicts TheCorruption on the Realm of Magic to rid the multiverse of it. [[spoiler:Star admits at the end of season 4 that he was right. Her family's ideas to solve problems by using magic would continuously only cause bigger and bigger problems, so she sets off in a quest to destroy all magic.]] That said, [[RightForTheWrongReasons Toffee's primary objection to magic was that it could harm Septarians, and didn't really care about the negative consequences it could have for anyone else, plus he specifically desired to see the people of Mewni exterminated once they couldn't defend themselves with magic]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity:
** Subverted. He gladly accepts his apparent death as Star's wand gets destroyed... but he actually didn't die at all, and he knew he was going to survive.
** Averted in ''Battle For Mewni''. He gets blasted by Star, leaving him as mostly just goop, eyes and bones, his last words being a 'You think you won?' type deal while clearly in a LaughingMad state of mind out of disbelief that this could be happening to him, before he actually bites it by Ludo crushing him with a pillar.
* FamousLastWords:
** "Gentlemen... It's been a pleasure." Subverted in Season 2 when he returns.
** "Hehehehe... You think you've won? HA! You don't make the plans! I do! Me! Only I know how this all turns out!" And, then, cue getting crushed with a pillar by Ludo.
* FantasticRacist: Implied; as much as he talks about how the Mewmans have harmed monsters, the Mewman queen he killed, Comet, was genuinely benevolent, fair, and had been trying her entire reign to make peace and put an end to the conflict without further bloodshed when he assassinated her at the signing of the peace treaty for no other apparent reason except refusing to accept peace at all.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Toffee is polite, well-mannered and level-headed, however, this is only a surface level to his personality, and he's extremely deranged, petty and evil deep down. He always approach the people he intends to harm with a somewhat condescending politeness, showcasing he feels superior to them and disregards them as threats or is feigning goodness to manipulate them.
* {{Fingore}}: The middle finger on his right hand is severed, and doesn't grow back like his arm does. We later learn that a dark spell cast by Moon severed the finger and she (presumably intentionally) sealed it within her wand, preventing him from regrowing it. Star ends up removing the finger from the wand, and Toffee wants it back.
* FluffyTheTerrible: One of the biggest threats in the series... and he's named after a candy.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Toffee's outfit in Moon's tapestry. In fact, Toffee was originally depicted shirtless in the tapestry, but then later they decided to give him a shirt and [[OffModel just forgotten to erase his nipples]].
* FourStarBadass: He is a former general who led the monster army against Mewni, but his last confrontation with Moon badly wounded his pride (and his finger), forcing him to hang up his chevrons and take up roles that involve brains rather than fighting.
* FromASingleCell: After losing his body, Toffee's spirit endured through his skeleton hand gripping half of the wand's star. Through it, he eventually regained a body by possessing Ludo's, and he regains his full body, finger and all, at the end of Battle for Mewni... briefly.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Toffee started out as the underdog leader of a Septarian gang, before they evolved into a full blown monster army.
* FusionDance: In addition to living inside Ludo himself after "The Hard Way", his skeletal right arm regrows onto Ludo's own, creating a much longer arm with a wand crystal embaded in the palm.
* GeniusBruiser: There's a reason he used to be a former general. Best shown when he is revived in "Toffee" where he effortlessly fends off Moon's attack and swats Marco, a human who regularly takes down monsters, into a wall with one hit.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: He can regrow his limbs, with the exception of his missing finger. Moon Butterfly severed the finger using dark magic and it was sealed in the wand until Star found and removed it, storing it in her closet.
* HealingFactor: Potent enough to regenerate a whole limb in moments. It was such a formidable ability that he is known (infamously) in Mewni lore as "the immortal monster". However, his finger was sliced off by magic that completely stunted his regenerative powers. Once he regains his finger, and in the process his original body, it's shown to be strong enough to heal instantly from Marco ''punching through his chest''. It ''can'' be overtaxed if he's damaged too badly, it's ''reaching'' that point that's the problem. It took Star half vaporizing him with a WaveMotionGun to do it, and even then Ludo had to crush him under a pillar to actually finish the job.
* HeroKiller: While he doesn't perform any combat in the first season, when he returns in "Starcrushed", using Ludo's body as a meat puppet, he's able to completely [[CurbStompBattle curb stomp]] the Magic High Commission, either killing them or reducing them to a death-like state. The only survivor is Moon and that's because Lekmet uses his powers to revive her, and even then Moon barely escapes with her life. Also according to Moon, Toffee killed her mother, Comet, a powerful queen in her own right, who nearly ended the conflicts between Mewmen and Monsters before he ruined everything.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: In contrast to Ludo's obvious and repeated desire to capture the wand, Toffee's ultimate motives are unknown. He plots to destroy the wand, in a gambit to ultimately get his finger. However, after he does achieve full regeneration, he just walks away until he's blasted by Star. Likewise, we know nothing of what motivated him to go rogue and kill Moon's mother in the first place, though WordOfGod seems to imply that he used to be a WellIntentionedExtremist who wanted to help monsters rise up against the Mewmans, and thus would not accept a peace treaty between the two species. More light is shed on things with the release of the ''Book of Spells'', which explains that Toffee was radicalized by Seth, the oldest Septarian who vehemently wanted Comet dead.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
** At the end of season 1 Toffee wants Star to destroy the wand, and when she does, it creates an explosion that takes out him and the monsters in the castle. However, though he seems briefly surprised when the wand begins to overload, the smile on his face right before it explodes indicates this isn't an unwelcome development. Officially subverted in Season 2, as what happened with the wand was indeed exactly what Toffee had planned. It was still a very risky move on his part, because he still had to do was wait for some unfortunate victim to retrieve him, and who knows how long that would've taken.
** He dismisses Ludo completely as an incompetent brat after he regains his body at the end of "The Battle for Mewni". After Star heavily damages his body with her new wand, Ludo finishes the job by knocking over a pillar onto his remains.
** His murder of Comet catalyzed her daughter Moon's hatred towards monsterkind in the first place, and ruined the chances for both their peoples uniting during her rule.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: A calm and collected "evil efficiency expert", Toffee is very much in contrast to the angry and bumbling Ludo during Season 1.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Despite his clear hatred towards the Mewmans and claiming they'd harmed the monsters, the current queen at the time of his rampage, Comet the Chef, was incredibly fair and was trying to fight for racial equality for the monsters her entire time from when she got the wand to her death and he murdered her at a peace treaty signing. In fact, Solaria was the last firmly anti-monster ruler of Mewni, with those from Festivia onward either being neutral or even positive towards monsters. At the end of the day, the only one Toffee has to blame for the monsters' situation not improving is himself.
* IGaveMyWord:
** After Star destroys her wand, he honors his word and releases Marco.
** Subverted in "Toffee", in which he gives his word that he'll return Star if Moon gives his finger back. Moon keeps her part of the bargain, he remorselessly does not, instead only releasing Ludo.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Just when it looked like he was calling Ludo out for his [[NeverMyFault behavior]] towards his minions after that failed mission, he kicks him out, but after that we find out he doesn't care about Ludo's minions any more than Ludo does.
* KilledOffForReal: At the end of "The Battle For Mewni," he is turned to goo by Star's SuperMode and subsequently smashed by a pillar courtesy of Ludo.
* TheKingslayer: He personally murdered Comet the Chef, the former Queen of Mewni, in the middle of a peace treaty.
* KnightOfCerebus: The series becomes several times darker once he shows up with his sinister {{leitmotif}}, a near complete lack of comedic traits (unlike Miss Heinous), and his manipulation of Ludo into firing Buff Frog. At the end of "Marco Grows a Beard", he takes control away from Ludo, kicks him out, and becomes the series' new BigBad. In season two, we learn his history with Star's family, and it's his return in the finale that destroys the Magic High Commission and forces Star to abandon her life on earth.
* KnightTemplar: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE According to]] Nefcy herself, he is "a Magneto-type villain", who's "[[VillainHasAPoint not wrong, but he's going about things the wrong way, you know]]". This is indicated in the past when, rather than accept a peace treaty between Mewmans and monsters, he goes rogue and kills the Queen of Mewni instead, desiring monster ''supremacy'' rather than monster equality.
* LackOfEmpathy:
** Didn't even bat an eyelash when he got Buff Frog fired and kicked out of his home.
** Once he regains his old body after he gets his finger, he callously crushes the broken crystal which is Star's only way back to Mewni. In front of Moon, Marco and Buff Frog. [[KickTheDog And coldly telling them that Star's gone]] and expresses boredom when Moon and Marco attempt to fight him.
* TheKingslayer: Assassinated Comet, the queen before Moon.
* LaserBlade: Wields a massive scimitar made of magic in his battle with Queen Moon.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/124638904741 Meet Toffee]]", an eerie, quiet, and simplistic tune.
* LizardFolk: A Septarian to be precise.
* LogicalWeakness: Toffee's regeneration is strong enough to rival [[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} Logan's]] but he does have limits. Obviously you can take him out with something that [[AntiRegeneration inhibits]] his HealingFactor but his healing ability can also simply be overloaded if enough damage is done. Also, presumably, if you throw him into an inferno or something that just keeps damaging him even if it doesn't do massive damage all at once, his healing factor will eventually fail. He might also be vulnerable to things like a lack of oxygen because a healing ability won't provide you with the sweet life sustaining air most things need.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction:
** When Star blasts off his arm, he only lets out a [[DullSurprise dull "oof!"]] and remains unconcerned and disinterested by the fact he lost his arm. {{Justified|Trope}} in that he has a [[HealingFactor healing factor]] so he can regenerate his arm quickly.
** In "Toffee", Marco punches a hole through his chest. The lizard shows absolutely no reaction but slight surprise.
* MaliciousMonitorLizard: Like all Septarians, he looks like an anthropomorphic monitor lizard, and he's a ManipulativeBastard writ large.
* ManaDrain: While in Ludo's body, he gets the ability to drain the magic of others. Plus, it's not-so-subtly implied that the universe-wide "glitch" siphoning magic away might have something to do with him.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Toffee acts as the intelligence of Ludo's wand, once again pulling the strings behind the scenes until he decided to make his move and usurp Ludo once again at the end of "The Hard Way".
* TheManInFrontOfTheMan: Acts as Ludo's subordinate although his competence makes him a clear DragonInChief until "Marco Grows a Beard" when he tricks Ludo and convinces his minions to follow him instead.
* ManipulativeBastard:
** Practically plays up Ludo's trust while also observing Star's fighting skills. When he felt Buff Frog was onto him, he tricked Ludo into firing him. And when he had no more use of Ludo himself, he convinces his minions that Ludo was unfit to lead them and evicted Ludo from his own castle.
** He goads an elated Ludo into doubt and belligerence during Season 2 to trick him into reading Eclipsa's section of the Book of Spells, thereby allowing Toffee to take over Ludo's body.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Wears a nice suit, and is a smooth-operating villain.
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: Subverted. Contrary to the depiction in Moon's tapestry, when she blasted off his finger with Eclipsa's magic in the actual event, he showed nothing but mild discomfort and annoyance, even as he realized his healing factor wasn't working.
* MotiveDecay: In the past, Toffee's motive was clear-cut - to eliminate all Mewmans and retake Mewni for the monsters, with him even going rogue when the monster he served over was going to sign a peace treaty with the Mewmans. In the present, it seems he is driven solely by the desire for {{Revenge}} on Queen Moon - to get back what she took from him, his finger, and take away everything she has: her magic, her friends, her throne, and her daughter. It's possible that he still wishes for monsters to have Mewni again, but it isn't made clear.
* MrFanservice: For a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom certain crowd]]. A portrait depicting his younger self shows him in a shirt that looks all but painted on.
* MyCard: He gives Ludo a business card and introduces himself as an "Evil Efficiency Expert".
* MyDeathIsOnlyTheBeginning:
** He allowed himself to be killed by Star's exploding wand so his spirit could possess the broken half. Once Ludo picked it up, he manipulated Ludo into getting his hands on the spellbook and reading the forbidden chapter, allowing him to possess Ludo's body.
** It happens again in "Battle for Mewni". After getting reduced to a skeleton covered in goo by Star's SuperMode blast, he gives her an ominous message about how they haven't won yet and that only he knows "how this all turns out". [[spoiler: In retrospect, it seems like he somehow became aware of the future where magic was destroyed and had been convinced that he would be responsible for it. As he was dying, he knew that wasn't the case but also knew that the future without magic was still inevitable all the same.]]
* MysteriousPast: Since his first appearance, Toffee has been a character who's shrouded in mystery. Other than TheReveal that he used to be a general that led a Monster army against Mewni, killed Moon's mother Comet the Chef and lost his finger to Moon's darkest spell, next to nothing is known about his past. Given that he met Moon when she cast her spell on him after he killed her mother not too long ago, the fact that he has a bad history with the Butterfly family AND has intimate knowledge on the Butterfly family that no normal monster would know of such as the Book of Spells, Eclipsa's forbidden chapter, and the details of the first spell Moon taught Star implies a deeper connection that extends beyond not just Moon, but to the Royal family's history as a whole. The other hints to his past so far were also his knowledge and connection to the ancient monster temple which he showed Ludo as his wand and how both he and Glossaryck are very familiar with each other during their brief but casual interactions, establishing that the two have met before.
* NearVillainVictory: Toffee does succeed in getting revenge on Moon. He does eliminate her daughter, regains his finger and corrupt the realm of magic. He didn't expect Star to absorb the remaining magic and return from the realm.
* NeverMyFault: Despite his motivation of {{Revenge}} and claiming to have been wronged, he was the one who murdered the Queen who'd been nothing but kind to the monsters and was literally about to sign a peace treaty with the monsters when he did so, and thus his losing his finger is no one's fault but his own. This also means a large amount of the current Mewman/Monster tensions are directly his own fault.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Having Buff Frog fired ended up making the latter see what a selfish {{Jerkass}} Ludo is later on.
* NonActionBigBad:
** Sits back and watches his plans from the sidelines. Even when Star attempts to directly physically confront him, he relies on his minions. In "Into The Wand", a tapestry shows him dressed in armor and leading a charge against Moon Butterfly, and "Moon the Undaunted" reveals that he was a general. He's proven to have earned his former position as a general due to his calm and calculating approach to forcing Star to surrender the wand. He also had great abilities in leadership as the monsters became far more effective under his orders and was able to successfully fulfil his plans without having to worry about resistance from enemies. As it turns out, it's less to do with the lack of any combat abilities but more with the lack of desire or interest to fight as hinted in "Storm the Castle" with his brief stint against Marco and established in "Toffee" as he easily fends off Moon and Marco's attacks with boredom.
** This is subverted in "Starcrushed", as Toffee was able to defeat and drain the magic from the Magic High Commission, without so much as taking a scratch in the fight.
** He subverts this again in "Toffee" and demonstrates his strength after he regains his old body against Moon and Marco, not even actually fighting them as much as very easily blocking their attacks and throwing them aside.
* NonMammalianHair: He has slicked-back black hair, despite being a LizardFolk.
* NonMammalMammaries: Despite being a LizardFolk, "Into the Wand" has a tapestry depict Toffee with nipples.
* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: Even with his HealingFactor at full power, he ''can'' be killed. However, it took him being nearly vaporized by a WaveMotionGun and then being crushed under a pillar to do so.
* NotSoStoic:
** In "Fortune Cookies", he briefly drops his composed attitude when he first sees how idiotic Ludo's minions are.
--->'''Ludo''': Give it to me straight. Are my monsters the worst ever or what?\\
'''Toffee''': Uh...
** When Marco calls him {{boring|Insult}}, a split-second shot reveals that he seems genuinely bothered by the remark.
** Crosses over with NightmareFace when he reveals his true desire to have Star [[spoiler:destroy the wand]], donning a scarier, more monstrous expression to say a single word. "SURPRISE!" He goes back to his stoic look in an instant, suggesting he can turn cold and stoic to crazy and monstrous on and off if he wants too.
** "Starcrushed" has him showing more of his [[MaskOfSanity well-hidden]] [[AxeCrazy insanity]] that was briefly hinted in "Storm the Castle". Particularly with his fight against Queen Moon where he's [[PsychoticSmirk smiling sinisterly]] and ''[[LaughingMad laughing maniacally]]''. And it's '''terrifying'''.
** Moon managing to damage his finger and prevent it from regenerating gets a reaction out of him, Star half-vaporizing him renders him LaughingMad, and he showed actual ''fear'' when he saw the WaveMotionGun that did it coming.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist:
** While implied to have once had good motives, they seem completely gone by now in favor of revenge. Even then, it's eventually revealed he murdered Comet more out of hatred than her having actually done anything wrong, as she was probably the single most ''pro-monster'' queen other than Eclipsa and genuinely trying to give the monsters racial equality.
** [[spoiler:Even though his decisions were fueled by his hatred towards Mewmans and Queen Moon, he was eventually right about one thing: magic is too dangerous and must be destroyed or corrupted beyond repair for the greater good. Even ''Star'' agrees with him in the end.]]
* NotWorthKilling: His attitude toward Moon after regaining his full physical form in "Toffee". She'd given back the finger she took from him, and he had taken away her daughter. Leaving her in the anguished mental and emotional state she was currently in was a FateWorseThanDeath for her, so he just walks away.
* OhCrap: His reaction to seeing the WaveMotionGun that damaged him badly enough for Ludo to finish him coming.
* OlderThanHeLooks: He looks to be around his mid-30s, but his conversation with Moon in "Starcrushed" implies older than that which was confirmed in "Moon the Undaunted" when he looks ''exactly'' the same as he does in the present when Moon was a child, revealing that he is older than Moon.
* OnlySaneMan: Given that he works for Ludo. Or, more more accurately, he's using Ludo.
* PowerParasite: In "Starcrushed" he manages to possess Ludo, fuse himself physically with the wand, and absorb the powers of several members of the Magic High Commission.
* PragmaticVillainy:
** In "Marco Grows a Beard", he acts kind to Ludo's minions to make it easier to usurp Ludo, who [[MeanBoss hasn't really done anything but berate his men]].
** He suggests that Ludo use Buff Frog as his number two again rather than outright kill the man, as he's far more useful that way. While it fails due to Ludo having already mistreated him far too much, it was still a worthy idea.
** Once he gets his full body back in "Toffee", he just intends to walk away rather than try to kill Queen Moon and Marco, even when they attack him. As he no longer has magic, it makes more sense for him to go and reform his old army to conquer Mewni than waste time with a physical battle against his enemies.
* PrehensileTail: He uses it to grab Marco and return him to his seat.
* PsychoticSmirk: Since he was TheStoic for the majority of season 1, seeing this on his face means [[AllAccordingToPlan everything is going according to his plans]] and [[FromBadToWorse not good for the heroes.]] When he possess Ludo, he displays this most of the time.
* RasputinianDeath: Star in SuperMode melts him alive with a [[WaveMotionGun blast from her wand]], reducing him to a skeleton covered in black goo. That's not enough to kill him, so [[TheDogBitesBack Ludo]] finishes him off by knocking a pillar over his remains.
* RedBaron: All Septarians have regenerative abilities, but his were so swift and accelerated that he was known as "the Immortal Monster" in Mewni lore. In the "Moon the Undaunted", he was also called "The Lizard".
* RedRightHand: The middle finger of his right hand is missing from the moment he appears (it was taken by Moon Butterfly), despite his regenerative powers that allow him to regrow his entire left arm when Star blasts it off. Becomes more of one when he merges with Ludo, as Ludo's wand regenerates into it and attaches to him, becoming an oversized right arm with the wand fragment in the palm.
* RenegadeSplinterFaction: As revealed in ExpandedUniverse and touched upon in the series: Toffee was the general of the then current Monster King and his murder of Comet was an assassination at a peace treaty Comet had spent her entire reign trying to secure through kindness and tolerance. He and his forces were acting independently of the monster king's wishes.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: A lizard man to be specific.
* RetiredBadass: "Into The Wand" reveals that he was a fierce warrior in the past having faced Moon. The way he does things in the present all but implies that his fighting days are more or less over since that event, preferring to manipulate others and rely on strategy to get revenge against his enemies. "Starcrushed" shows he's still got it, though. It's not that he wanted to retire, but rather he was ''forced'' to due to wounded pride and the awareness that he needed a way around the power that Queen Moon wielded.
* {{Revenge}}: Implied to hold a grudge against the royal family of Mewni, cryptically stating that Ludo is "not the first monster to fall victim to their magic". He means that literally, considering he fought Moon Butterfly. This is apparently a racial trait.
* SelfServingMemory: Hearing him talk, he did nothing wrong and was the one wronged by the Butterfly Family. What he never so much as acknowledges is that he murdered Moon's mother, Comet, a genuinely good queen who'd spent her entire time with the wand trying to bury the hatchet with the monsters and treated them as equals, in cold blood at a peace treaty signing.
* SinisterScimitar: Wielded one in his youth, back when he used to fight Moon.
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Before he started wearing an elegant business suit, Toffee made it a habit to adorn the epaulettes of his armor with the skulls of slain Mewni royalty.
* SlasherSmile:
** Very briefly flashes one after he reveals he wanted Star's wand because he wanted to ''destroy'' it.
-->''Surprise~!''
** When he first appears to Star inside the wand in the climax of "Toffee" he displays a menacing one in his [[EldritchAbomination gigantic form consisting of magical goo.]]
* TheSociopath: Cold, calculating, and perfectly willing to crush Marco to death and beat down the Magic High Commission without a lick of remorse. As a teen, he was even willing to break Glossaryck's arm for the heck of it.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Toffee is always soft-spoken, polite and courteous. But beneath his [[FauxAffablyEvil affable exterior]], hides a cruel and heartless lizard who's willing to go to any lengths to secure his goals. Lacking remorse and empathy, he hides his own sadism and insanity quite well. Even in his gigantic magic goo form, he retains this trait.
* TheStarscream: Ultimately, proves to be this in "Marco Grows a Beard". He could've easily betrayed Ludo before, but he wanted to wait until Ludo showed weakness.
* StealthInsult: Toffee often takes a passive-aggressive approach to insulting people, a stark contrast to when he was a teenager, where he was more openly aggressive and straight-forward in his insults. One notable example was when he offered [[TheNapoleon Ludo]] a drink during his introduction:
--> '''Toffee''': West Mewnian swamp water. Or do you drink from the bottle?
** In "Moon the Undaunted", he greets Moon as princess and even bows to her. Except he's fully aware that the princess is now Queen since he's the one who killed her mother. [[KickTheDog Calling her "Princess" was to show his lack of respect for the newly ascended Queen, rubbing salt on the wound]].
* TheStoic: Always remains calm, collected, and professional.
* StrippedToTheBone: All that remained of him prior to fully taking over Ludo was his skeletal arm (complete with missing finger), which clasps the missing wand crystal part to serve as Ludo's own wand. It eventually regenerates after he completely overtakes Ludo, merging with Ludo's own arm.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: His eyes are gold and he has supernatural regenerating powers.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Though his plans ''require'' Ludo and his minions to be idiots, he's still occasionally exasperated by just how dumb they are.
* TeensAreMonsters: A teenage Toffee appears in "Meteora's Lesson", and it's shown he was more openly petty back then.
-->'''Glossaryck:''' (to Meteora) Yep, that's the bad boy who broke my arm. ''[...]'' I'm sure Toffee had a good reason for doing what he did.\\
'''Toffee:''' You were making that stupid leaf hat, so I snapped your arm.\\
'''Glossaryck:''' OK... not the best reason. But that doesn't mean he has to keep on doing terrible things. If he did, he'd... break my other arm.\\
'''Toffee:''' [[TheSociopath Oh. That's a good idea.]]
* ThanatosGambit: Made every indication that he knew that the Whispering Spell would make the wand explode and did not attempt to avoid his fate. As it turns out, he ''wanted'' to be reduced to spirit form so that his plan could progress further.
* TomTheDarkLord: An "evil efficiency expert" named [[EdibleThemeNaming "Toffee"]].
* {{Troll}}: He does this to Ludo during his introduction, bonus points for keeping a straight face and serious tone:
-->'''Ludo''': Where did you come from?\\
'''Toffee''': I let myself in.\\
'''Ludo''': When?\\
'''Toffee''': After you hired me.\\
'''Ludo''': I hired you?\\
'''Toffee''': I accept.
* TwoBeingsOneBody: He re-emerges in "Starcrushed" as a fusion between himself and Ludo, plus half of Star's wand. He appears to be the dominant personality most of the time, although his laugh at one point is eerily similar to Ludo's.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: He's proven to be a much darker and serious threat to Star and Marco compared to the series' other wacky and comedic villains. Each of his appearances sets up or progresses some major story arc.
* VillainousBreakdown: After Star utterly destroys his body and leaves him a corpse barely clinging to life, Toffee goes LaughingMad, ranting in a nightmarish voice about how he makes all the plans and knows everything, including how this all will end... just before he's unexpectedly killed by Ludo.
* VillainTeleportation: Implied in his first appearance, where he randomly appeared in Ludo's room without explanation. He also seems to teleport in the finale when talking to Marco, to the point he seemingly appears in two places simultaneously.
* VillainousWidowsPeak: Has a notable widow's peak and is the true main antagonist for the first part of the series.
* WalkingSpoiler: He's kind of important for someone who suddenly shows up out of nowhere in the middle of the first season, so it's hard to explain who he is without giving anything away. ''Especially'' in anything past said first season.
* WarriorPrince: According to ''Literature/TheMagicBookOfSpells'', Toffee is, or was, considered a prince during Comet Butterfly's reign and also was a former general.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: According to WordOfGod anyways, which [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE even compares him to]] Magneto. [[InformedAttribute This is yet to be seen]] beyond a clenched fist at a re-enactment of the great monster massacre at Mewni's founding, although it's more likely that the betterment of monsters was his goal in the past when he tried to overthrow Queen Moon, while he's [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumped off the slippery slope]] in the present day, [[MotiveDecay caring only for his own personal revenge]]. [[spoiler: With the TheReveal of the MHC conspiracy in Season 3 and the events of Season 4, it becomes apparent that Toffee did have a valid point that magic causes more harm than good with the MHC enforcing the status quo that continues to discriminate against monsters. It's just that his plans involving manipulation, kidnapping and killing are where he gets out of line]]. That said, this is still ultimately subverted, as Toffee’s appearance in flashback shows he was always a sadistic bully, even to his fellow monsters. Now, all he wants is power, and he’s willing to extend the tensions between monsters and Mewnis to do it.[[invoked]]
* WouldHitAGirl:
** He gleefully beats the tar out of both Queen Moon and Hekapoo, draining the latter of her magic and rendering her temporarily dead or comatose.
** He killed Moon's mother when Moon was Star's age.
* WouldHurtAChild:
** He was willing to crush Marco, a 14-year old boy, to death in front of Star so that she would comply to his demands. And in "Toffee" he hits Marco so hard that he sent him flying into debris after the latter punched him through the chest out of anger for Toffee seemingly killing Star.
** As Ludo's hand wand he tells him to Levitato a bunch of choir children [[FelonyMisdemeanor because they were singing off-key]].
** In "Starcrushed", he made it clear to Moon that he's going after Star for his finger upon returning. He makes word on his threat in "Toffee" when he doesn't keep his end of the bargain to return Star after Moon gave him his finger and he regained his old form, simply destroying the broken crystal shard while Star is still in there.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: He can regenerate a whole limb in just a few seconds after it's been blasted off by Star's wand, but cannot regenerate one of his fingers which was severed by an unidentified dark spell cast by Queen Moon and then sealed in the wand.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Toffee has yellow eyes which fit his manipulative and cunning nature.
* YouHaveFailedMe: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He convinces Ludo to fire Buff Frog after he fails to get Star's wand.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Toffee tells Ludo's monsters "It has been a pleasure" as the wand is about to explode. He got what he wanted, so he no longer had any use for his allies, deciding to [[TakingYouWithMe take them with him]].

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ChrisTergliafera
An agent for Miss Heinous to destroy Star and kidnap Marco. Was once a soldier of Toffee as well.
----
* AdvertisedExtra: He appears prominently in the title sequence throughout Seasons 3 and 4, despite being killed off about a fifth of the way into the former and Miss Heinous taking over the BigBad position.
* AllAccordingToPlan:
** In "Storm the Castle", not only does he successfully get Star to come to his territory, but [[TheBadGuyWins gets her to destroy the wand to save Marco]]. Even being destroyed by the resulting explosion was to his benefit, as he gained possession of half the wand in the process.
** Almost everything he does in Season 2 and "The Battle For Mewni" falls under this as well. Only one thing goes truly awry in his plan: he intended on gaining both his finger ''and'' Star's half of the wand so that he can be resurrected and have full power over the corrupted magic. But Star was smart enough not to bring her wand with her when she confronts Ludo, and Ludo is sensible enough to listen to Star about what's going on and allows her to perform the Whispering Spell on his half of the wand. With a full-powered wand no longer a possibility, Toffee settles on just resurrecting with his finger and leaving Star stranded in the Realm of Magic, only for her to claim the last spark of uncorrupted magic, achieve SuperMode, and return to defeat Toffee.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear if he was aware that Star using the Whispering Spell would cause her wand to explode as it did, since he's shocked when it starts to go off but gives an evil smirk just before detonation. This also makes his releasing Marco suspect, as if he didn't know, then it was him honoring his deal, while if he did, then it becomes him trying to kill Star and Marco. At the very least, he knew it would break the wand, which was really all he needed. As Season 2 shows, the only thing that put a hiccup into his plan was the fact he needed a body to use the wand's magic, a body Ludo [[DemonicPossession was more than able to provide]].
* ArchEnemy: "Into the Wand" reveals that he was this for Queen Moon back in her glory days
* ArtifactOfDoom: Effectively ''becomes'' one as the spirit possessing Ludo's wand.
* AttackReflector: Once he fuses with the broken half of the wand, he can create a barrier that blocks projectiles and sends them back at the attacker.
* BackFromTheDead: Though his physical body is destroyed at the end of Season 1, he lives on inside the other fragment of Star's wand. He doesn't take any action until the end of Season 2, where he possesses Ludo's body.
* BackForTheDead: He finally regains his body in the episode "Toffee", only to be killed off by Star and Ludo by Star's powerful blast and Ludo using a pillar to crush what remained of his body.
* BadassInANiceSuit: In Season 1 and the end of "The Battle for Mewni", he's seen wearing a suit as his standard outfit and is one of the most threatening villains in the whole show.
* BatmanGambit: He's a master of this. Nearly all of his plans revolve entirely around characters doing exactly what you'd expect them to do. For example:
** His entire plan in "Mewnipendance Day" centers around Buff Frog being the only monster brave enough and loyal enough to volunteer to go on the mission to retrieve Star's wand by himself.
** In "Marco Grows a Beard", all he had to do was to get Ludo close to the wand, and Ludo, being [[BigBadWannabe Ludo]], will undoubtedly fail to retrieve it then [[NeverMyFault blame his monsters]] on the outcome, which set things up for his takeover.
** In "Storm the Castle", he recognizes that Star will do anything if it means saving Marco whenever he's in danger. With that knowledge he was able to force her to destroy her wand in exchange for Marco's safety.
** Everything that Star and Ludo have done in Season 2 are all according to his designs.
** He manages to catch Queen Moon off guard by playing on her sympathy for Ludo and his [[NotSoDifferent estrangement from his parents]], ''and'' the fact that the Magic High Commission would prioritize finding the missing Glossaryck, leaving Moon alone for him to ambush.
** Pulls off a final one in "Battle for Mewni" when Star uses the Whispering Spell again to free Ludo from the wand's control. Star is caught in the explosion and trapped in The Realm of Magic with Toffee, where he quickly overpowers her using all the tainted magic he's gathered up. He holds Star hostage and tells Queen Moon that he will release her daughter in exchange for his missing finger. Then he uses the finger to fully regenerate before crushing the wand fragment, destroying Star's only way home. Unfortunately for him, he didn't count on Star's SuperMode activating.
* BenevolentBoss: Subverted. Outwardly he acts respectful to Ludo's underlings but comments like "...you fat sack of garbage" spoken under his breath about Buff Frog reveal it's only an act.
* BigBad: The overarching Big Bad for the first half of the series. Although he doesn't enter the story until "Fortune Cookies" about halfway through the first season, Toffee eventually ends up being the ''final antagonist'' of the first season. Then in Season 2, he displaces Ludo ''again'' by taking over his body after being freed from Ludo's wand. He is finally destroyed in the Season 3 premiere TV movie as a close to his story. Notably, the part of the TV movie he is killed in is the episode actually titled "Toffee", which, as the 39th episode, literally marks the end of the show's first half.
* BodyHorror: In "Battle for Mewni", when he regenerates ''around'' Ludo, coughing him up afterwards, and when Star's SuperMode spell all but vaporizes him and Ludo squishes what was left under a pillar.
* BoringButPractical: His best plan to nab the wand? Kidnap Star's best friend and threaten to kill him if she doesn't cooperate. Much less flashy than Ludo's all out attacks, but it is the first attack to do the trick.
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: Ludo destroying Toffee weakened Eclipsa's prison, since Moon's deal with Eclipsa's was that he would be killed in exchange for her release, and that will spell doom for Mewni. Even after death, Toffee managed to hurt Moon one last time.
* CameBackStrong: Ludo's body may be weak and puny, but he has half a wand fused onto his right arm and energy draining abilities, and he is able to take on his enemies with greater resilience than before.
* TheChessmaster:
** He skillfully manipulates the events of "Mewnipendance Day" resulting in Ludo firing Buff Frog, the only minion with the intelligence to realize that Toffee wasn't loyal to Ludo. Furthermore, he manipulated Ludo's army into throwing Ludo out and becomes their leader instead. And it's implied that he's been waiting a while for Ludo to put on the display of weakness he needed to convince the monsters to rebel.
** Taken to new heights in Season 2, where the full scope of his plan is revealed and almost all comes together perfectly. However, it takes only one thing going completely off course - Star getting through to Ludo and performing a Whispering Spell on his wand, and then later "dipping down" and achieving SuperMode - to derail the whole thing and lead to his demise.
* TheCorrupter: As Ludo's wand, he advises Ludo on the course of action he should take. This makes Ludo susceptible to Toffee's manipulations but also more [[AxeCrazy unhinged]] and [[TookALevelInJerkAss ruthless]] than he was before.
* TheCorruption: His presence within The Realm of Magic was enough to corrupt the universe's magic and weaken the Magic High Commission. When Star meets him in The Realm of Magic, he's essentially TheCorruption [[EldritchAbomination itself]].
* CreepyMonotone: He usually speaks in a deadpan, emotionless tone of voice. In Season 2, he more frequently sounds sadistically sinister as opposed to just stoic.
* DarkIsEvil: Wears a [[EvilWearsBlack dark suit]], and in ''Battle for Mewni'' he corrupted magic itself into an ocean of black oil.
* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: According to the creators, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE he was a]] WellIntentionedExtremist. Now, he seems like a stoic sociopath who only cares about {{Revenge}} on Queen Moon and regaining his full power.
* DeathByIrony:
** Ludo, the person he'd manipulated and admitted didn't amount to anything important in his goals, is the one who ultimately deals the finishing blow to kill him.
** Also, had he kept his word and brought Star out of the wand with him, he might have survived. As it stands, leaving Star to die directly leads to her obtaining her SuperMode and having the power to defeat him.
** Similarly, he told Ludo to leave Star alive because he planned on holding her hostage in exchange for his finger. This happens, but in a different way than he had intended because Star ends up performing the Whispering Spell on Ludo's wand, trapping her with Toffee and leading to the situation in which she gained her SuperMode.
* DemonicPossession: The end of "The Hard Way" has him possess Ludo to talk with Glossaryck, finally proving that he's still around as the voice in the wand Ludo's been listening to.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Toffee is usually methodical and intelligent, so when Star catches him off guard by returning from the realm of magic, he has a mental breakdown and insists [[ParanoiaGambit it's all according to plan and that only he knows how the story ends.]] Ludo shuts him up before he can elaborate any further.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He was the one pulling Ludo's strings for the first two seasons and by all rights he appeared ready to take center stage as the show's main antagonist in the third season. But by the end of the "Battle of Mewni" premiere (the third season's fourth episode), he's unceremoniously KilledOffForReal by Star and Ludo.
* DragonInChief:
** He's got more brains than anyone in Ludo's army, including Ludo himself, is treated much more ominously and as a greater threat and easily betrays Ludo and puts his own plan into action.
** He's also this to Seth of Septarsis, as he's following Seth's agenda but is the one doing the actual planning and work into fulfilling it, with no confirmation that Seth did anything for him other than inspire him.
* EldritchAbomination: His spirit was merged with the tainted magic he corrupted. When Star meets him in "Toffee", his form is the tainted magic itself, which manifest as a giant lizard made out of corrupted goo and a being who is one with the dark ocean of corrupted magic.
* EnergyAbsorption: After fusing with Ludo and half of Star's wand, his favorite tactic is draining the magic right out of his victims. This immediately puts the members of the Magic High Commission in a death-like state.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He first appears after Ludo notes he's dissatisfied with all the other applicants, [[StealthHiBye just kind of appearing in the room]] to talk to him about it, and then manipulates Ludo into hiring him, showing [[TheChessmaster what kind of character]] he is.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Played for laughs. Along with Buff Frog, even he thinks it's wrong (and frankly gross) for Ludo to spy on Star when she is in the bathroom.
** More notably, he kept his word and released Marco as soon as Star destroyed the wand. Although we later see that he has his reasons. It's more likely that his "release" of Marco was more about letting Star into the glass prison he was in and giving her a secure place to be as the wand and castle exploded, since she was needed alive for the rest of Toffee's plan, but otherwise had no reason keep Marco any longer. As for Moon, keeping Star was specifically to ''break'' her.
* EvilGenius: He's extremely smart and intellectual among the monsters, having knowledge about the royal family and magic, and plans strategies that are very effective. Seems to also be a GeniusBruiser since he used to be a general.
* EvilIsPetty:
** He gains access to half of one of the most powerful weapons in the universe at the end of Season 2 and his big declaration during the finale is that he's going after Star to get the finger Moon sliced off back. Without context, the importance of retrieving his severed finger and targeting Star to do so comes off as petty and cruel, but he needed it to make himself whole again.
** In "Toffee", as Ludo's wand hand, he's the one who suggested to Ludo to Levitato [[WouldHurtAChild the choir]] simply because they were singing off-key.
** In "Meteora's Lesson", a teenaged Toffee broke Glossaryck's arm just for making himself a leaf hat, and was willing to break the other one when told he didn't have to keep doing bad things.
* EvilLaugh: Downplayed at first. When he returns in Season 2, he lets out a sinister chuckle when Glossaryck confirms that he doesn't have a side. Played straight later on when he ambushed Queen Moon and during the fight against her.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Has a deep, smooth voice. Unsurprising, given who voices him.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: "Meteora's Lesson" shows that a young Toffee wore a mullet hairstyle, symbolizing his youthful rashness and naivete. As an adult, he switched to a neater haricut to represent how more mature and calculating he became.
* {{Expy}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE According to]] Nefcy herself, he is "a Magneto-type villain".
* TheExtremistWasRight: Toffee really believes that [[DoesNotLikeMagic magic is a problem]] and that people who have it will inevitably misuse or abuse it, so he inflicts TheCorruption on the Realm of Magic to rid the multiverse of it. [[spoiler:Star admits at the end of season 4 that he was right. Her family's ideas to solve problems by using magic would continuously only cause bigger and bigger problems, so she sets off in a quest to destroy all magic.]] That said, [[RightForTheWrongReasons Toffee's primary objection to magic was that it could harm Septarians, and didn't really care about the negative consequences it could have for anyone else, plus he specifically desired to see the people of Mewni exterminated once they couldn't defend themselves with magic]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity:
** Subverted. He gladly accepts his apparent death as Star's wand gets destroyed... but he actually didn't die at all, and he knew he was going to survive.
** Averted in ''Battle For Mewni''. He gets blasted by Star, leaving him as mostly just goop, eyes and bones, his last words being a 'You think you won?' type deal while clearly in a LaughingMad state of mind out of disbelief that this could be happening to him, before he actually bites it by Ludo crushing him with a pillar.
* FamousLastWords:
** "Gentlemen... It's been a pleasure." Subverted in Season 2 when he returns.
** "Hehehehe... You think you've won? HA! You don't make the plans! I do! Me! Only I know how this all turns out!" And, then, cue getting crushed with a pillar by Ludo.
* FantasticRacist: Implied; as much as he talks about how the Mewmans have harmed monsters, the Mewman queen he killed, Comet, was genuinely benevolent, fair, and had been trying her entire reign to make peace and put an end to the conflict without further bloodshed when he assassinated her at the signing of the peace treaty for no other apparent reason except refusing to accept peace at all.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Toffee is polite, well-mannered and level-headed, however, this is only a surface level to his personality, and he's extremely deranged, petty and evil deep down. He always approach the people he intends to harm with a somewhat condescending politeness, showcasing he feels superior to them and disregards them as threats or is feigning goodness to manipulate them.
* {{Fingore}}: The middle finger on his right hand is severed, and doesn't grow back like his arm does. We later learn that a dark spell cast by Moon severed the finger and she (presumably intentionally) sealed it within her wand, preventing him from regrowing it. Star ends up removing the finger from the wand, and Toffee wants it back.
* FluffyTheTerrible: One of the biggest threats in the series... and he's named after a candy.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Toffee's outfit in Moon's tapestry. In fact, Toffee was originally depicted shirtless in the tapestry, but then later they decided to give him a shirt and [[OffModel just forgotten to erase his nipples]].
* FourStarBadass: He is a former general who led the monster army against Mewni, but his last confrontation with Moon badly wounded his pride (and his finger), forcing him to hang up his chevrons and take up roles that involve brains rather than fighting.
* FromASingleCell: After losing his body, Toffee's spirit endured through his skeleton hand gripping half of the wand's star. Through it, he eventually regained a body by possessing Ludo's, and he regains his full body, finger and all, at the end of Battle for Mewni... briefly.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Toffee started out as the underdog leader of a Septarian gang, before they evolved into a full blown monster army.
* FusionDance: In addition to living inside Ludo himself after "The Hard Way", his skeletal right arm regrows onto Ludo's own, creating a much longer arm with a wand crystal embaded in the palm.
* GeniusBruiser: There's a reason he used to be a former general. Best shown when he is revived in "Toffee" where he effortlessly fends off Moon's attack and swats Marco, a human who regularly takes down monsters, into a wall with one hit.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: He can regrow his limbs, with the exception of his missing finger. Moon Butterfly severed the finger using dark magic and it was sealed in the wand until Star found and removed it, storing it in her closet.
* HealingFactor: Potent enough to regenerate a whole limb in moments. It was such a formidable ability that he is known (infamously) in Mewni lore as "the immortal monster". However, his finger was sliced off by magic that completely stunted his regenerative powers. Once he regains his finger, and in the process his original body, it's shown to be strong enough to heal instantly from Marco ''punching through his chest''. It ''can'' be overtaxed if he's damaged too badly, it's ''reaching'' that point that's the problem. It took Star half vaporizing him with a WaveMotionGun to do it, and even then Ludo had to crush him under a pillar to actually finish the job.
* HeroKiller: While he doesn't perform any combat in the first season, when he returns in "Starcrushed", using Ludo's body as a meat puppet, he's able to completely [[CurbStompBattle curb stomp]] the Magic High Commission, either killing them or reducing them to a death-like state. The only survivor is Moon and that's because Lekmet uses his powers to revive her, and even then Moon barely escapes with her life. Also according to Moon, Toffee killed her mother, Comet, a powerful queen in her own right, who nearly ended the conflicts between Mewmen and Monsters before he ruined everything.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: In contrast to Ludo's obvious and repeated desire to capture the wand, Toffee's ultimate motives are unknown. He plots to destroy the wand, in a gambit to ultimately get his finger. However, after he does achieve full regeneration, he just walks away until he's blasted by Star. Likewise, we know nothing of what motivated him to go rogue and kill Moon's mother in the first place, though WordOfGod seems to imply that he used to be a WellIntentionedExtremist who wanted to help monsters rise up against the Mewmans, and thus would not accept a peace treaty between the two species. More light is shed on things with the release of the ''Book of Spells'', which explains that Toffee was radicalized by Seth, the oldest Septarian who vehemently wanted Comet dead.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
** At the end of season 1 Toffee wants Star to destroy the wand, and when she does, it creates an explosion that takes out him and the monsters in the castle. However, though he seems briefly surprised when the wand begins to overload, the smile on his face right before it explodes indicates this isn't an unwelcome development. Officially subverted in Season 2, as what happened with the wand was indeed exactly what Toffee had planned. It was still a very risky move on his part, because he still had to do was wait for some unfortunate victim to retrieve him, and who knows how long that would've taken.
** He dismisses Ludo completely as an incompetent brat after he regains his body at the end of "The Battle for Mewni". After Star heavily damages his body with her new wand, Ludo finishes the job by knocking over a pillar onto his remains.
** His murder of Comet catalyzed her daughter Moon's hatred towards monsterkind in the first place, and ruined the chances for both their peoples uniting during her rule.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: A calm and collected "evil efficiency expert", Toffee is very much in contrast to the angry and bumbling Ludo during Season 1.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Despite his clear hatred towards the Mewmans and claiming they'd harmed the monsters, the current queen at the time of his rampage, Comet the Chef, was incredibly fair and was trying to fight for racial equality for the monsters her entire time from when she got the wand to her death and he murdered her at a peace treaty signing. In fact, Solaria was the last firmly anti-monster ruler of Mewni, with those from Festivia onward either being neutral or even positive towards monsters. At the end of the day, the only one Toffee has to blame for the monsters' situation not improving is himself.
* IGaveMyWord:
** After Star destroys her wand, he honors his word and releases Marco.
** Subverted in "Toffee", in which he gives his word that he'll return Star if Moon gives his finger back. Moon keeps her part of the bargain, he remorselessly does not, instead only releasing Ludo.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Just when it looked like he was calling Ludo out for his [[NeverMyFault behavior]] towards his minions after that failed mission, he kicks him out, but after that we find out he doesn't care about Ludo's minions any more than Ludo does.
* KilledOffForReal: At the end of "The Battle For Mewni," he is turned to goo by Star's SuperMode and subsequently smashed by a pillar courtesy of Ludo.
* TheKingslayer: He personally murdered Comet the Chef, the former Queen of Mewni, in the middle of a peace treaty.
* KnightOfCerebus: The series becomes several times darker once he shows up with his sinister {{leitmotif}}, a near complete lack of comedic traits (unlike Miss Heinous), and his manipulation of Ludo into firing Buff Frog. At the end of "Marco Grows a Beard", he takes control away from Ludo, kicks him out, and becomes the series' new BigBad. In season two, we learn his history with Star's family, and it's his return in the finale that destroys the Magic High Commission and forces Star to abandon her life on earth.
* KnightTemplar: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE According to]] Nefcy herself, he is "a Magneto-type villain", who's "[[VillainHasAPoint not wrong, but he's going about things the wrong way, you know]]". This is indicated in the past when, rather than accept a peace treaty between Mewmans and monsters, he goes rogue and kills the Queen of Mewni instead, desiring monster ''supremacy'' rather than monster equality.
* LackOfEmpathy:
** Didn't even bat an eyelash when he got Buff Frog fired and kicked out of his home.
** Once he regains his old body after he gets his finger, he callously crushes the broken crystal which is Star's only way back to Mewni. In front of Moon, Marco and Buff Frog. [[KickTheDog And coldly telling them that Star's gone]] and expresses boredom when Moon and Marco attempt to fight him.
* TheKingslayer: Assassinated Comet, the queen before Moon.
* LaserBlade: Wields a massive scimitar made of magic in his battle with Queen Moon.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/124638904741 Meet Toffee]]", an eerie, quiet, and simplistic tune.
* LizardFolk: A Septarian to be precise.
* LogicalWeakness: Toffee's regeneration is strong enough to rival [[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} Logan's]] but he does have limits. Obviously you can take him out with something that [[AntiRegeneration inhibits]] his HealingFactor but his healing ability can also simply be overloaded if enough damage is done. Also, presumably, if you throw him into an inferno or something that just keeps damaging him even if it doesn't do massive damage all at once, his healing factor will eventually fail. He might also be vulnerable to things like a lack of oxygen because a healing ability won't provide you with the sweet life sustaining air most things need.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction:
** When Star blasts off his arm, he only lets out a [[DullSurprise dull "oof!"]] and remains unconcerned and disinterested by the fact he lost his arm. {{Justified|Trope}} in that he has a [[HealingFactor healing factor]] so he can regenerate his arm quickly.
** In "Toffee", Marco punches a hole through his chest. The lizard shows absolutely no reaction but slight surprise.
* MaliciousMonitorLizard: Like all Septarians, he looks like an anthropomorphic monitor lizard, and he's a ManipulativeBastard writ large.
* ManaDrain: While in Ludo's body, he gets the ability to drain the magic of others. Plus, it's not-so-subtly implied that the universe-wide "glitch" siphoning magic away might have something to do with him.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Toffee acts as the intelligence of Ludo's wand, once again pulling the strings behind the scenes until he decided to make his move and usurp Ludo once again at the end of "The Hard Way".
* TheManInFrontOfTheMan: Acts as Ludo's subordinate although his competence makes him a clear DragonInChief until "Marco Grows a Beard" when he tricks Ludo and convinces his minions to follow him instead.
* ManipulativeBastard:
** Practically plays up Ludo's trust while also observing Star's fighting skills. When he felt Buff Frog was onto him, he tricked Ludo into firing him. And when he had no more use of Ludo himself, he convinces his minions that Ludo was unfit to lead them and evicted Ludo from his own castle.
** He goads an elated Ludo into doubt and belligerence during Season 2 to trick him into reading Eclipsa's section of the Book of Spells, thereby allowing Toffee to take over Ludo's body.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Wears a nice suit, and is a smooth-operating villain.
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: Subverted. Contrary to the depiction in Moon's tapestry, when she blasted off his finger with Eclipsa's magic in the actual event, he showed nothing but mild discomfort and annoyance, even as he realized his healing factor wasn't working.
* MotiveDecay: In the past, Toffee's motive was clear-cut - to eliminate all Mewmans and retake Mewni for the monsters, with him even going rogue when the monster he served over was going to sign a peace treaty with the Mewmans. In the present, it seems he is driven solely by the desire for {{Revenge}} on Queen Moon - to get back what she took from him, his finger, and take away everything she has: her magic, her friends, her throne, and her daughter. It's possible that he still wishes for monsters to have Mewni again, but it isn't made clear.
* MrFanservice: For a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom certain crowd]]. A portrait depicting his younger self shows him in a shirt that looks all but painted on.
* MyCard: He gives Ludo a business card and introduces himself as an "Evil Efficiency Expert".
* MyDeathIsOnlyTheBeginning:
** He allowed himself to be killed by Star's exploding wand so his spirit could possess the broken half. Once Ludo picked it up, he manipulated Ludo into getting his hands on the spellbook and reading the forbidden chapter, allowing him to possess Ludo's body.
** It happens again in "Battle for Mewni". After getting reduced to a skeleton covered in goo by Star's SuperMode blast, he gives her an ominous message about how they haven't won yet and that only he knows "how this all turns out". [[spoiler: In retrospect, it seems like he somehow became aware of the future where magic was destroyed and had been convinced that he would be responsible for it. As he was dying, he knew that wasn't the case but also knew that the future without magic was still inevitable all the same.]]
* MysteriousPast: Since his first appearance, Toffee has been a character who's shrouded in mystery. Other than TheReveal that he used to be a general that led a Monster army against Mewni, killed Moon's mother Comet the Chef and lost his finger to Moon's darkest spell, next to nothing is known about his past. Given that he met Moon when she cast her spell on him after he killed her mother not too long ago, the fact that he has a bad history with the Butterfly family AND has intimate knowledge on the Butterfly family that no normal monster would know of such as the Book of Spells, Eclipsa's forbidden chapter, and the details of the first spell Moon taught Star implies a deeper connection that extends beyond not just Moon, but to the Royal family's history as a whole. The other hints to his past so far were also his knowledge and connection to the ancient monster temple which he showed Ludo as his wand and how both he and Glossaryck are very familiar with each other during their brief but casual interactions, establishing that the two have met before.
* NearVillainVictory: Toffee does succeed in getting revenge on Moon. He does eliminate her daughter, regains his finger and corrupt the realm of magic. He didn't expect Star to absorb the remaining magic and return from the realm.
* NeverMyFault: Despite his motivation of {{Revenge}} and claiming to have been wronged, he was the one who murdered the Queen who'd been nothing but kind to the monsters and was literally about to sign a peace treaty with the monsters when he did so, and thus his losing his finger is no one's fault but his own. This also means a large amount of the current Mewman/Monster tensions are directly his own fault.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Having Buff Frog fired ended up making the latter see what a selfish {{Jerkass}} Ludo is later on.
* NonActionBigBad:
** Sits back and watches his plans from the sidelines. Even when Star attempts to directly physically confront him, he relies on his minions. In "Into The Wand", a tapestry shows him dressed in armor and leading a charge against Moon Butterfly, and "Moon the Undaunted" reveals that he was a general. He's proven to have earned his former position as a general due to his calm and calculating approach to forcing Star to surrender the wand. He also had great abilities in leadership as the monsters became far more effective under his orders and was able to successfully fulfil his plans without having to worry about resistance from enemies. As it turns out, it's less to do with the lack of any combat abilities but more with the lack of desire or interest to fight as hinted in "Storm the Castle" with his brief stint against Marco and established in "Toffee" as he easily fends off Moon and Marco's attacks with boredom.
** This is subverted in "Starcrushed", as Toffee was able to defeat and drain the magic from the Magic High Commission, without so much as taking a scratch in the fight.
** He subverts this again in "Toffee" and demonstrates his strength after he regains his old body against Moon and Marco, not even actually fighting them as much as very easily blocking their attacks and throwing them aside.
* NonMammalianHair: He has slicked-back black hair, despite being a LizardFolk.
* NonMammalMammaries: Despite being a LizardFolk, "Into the Wand" has a tapestry depict Toffee with nipples.
* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: Even with his HealingFactor at full power, he ''can'' be killed. However, it took him being nearly vaporized by a WaveMotionGun and then being crushed under a pillar to do so.
* NotSoStoic:
** In "Fortune Cookies", he briefly drops his composed attitude when he first sees how idiotic Ludo's minions are.
--->'''Ludo''': Give it to me straight. Are my monsters the worst ever or what?\\
'''Toffee''': Uh...
** When Marco calls him {{boring|Insult}}, a split-second shot reveals that he seems genuinely bothered by the remark.
** Crosses over with NightmareFace when he reveals his true desire to have Star [[spoiler:destroy the wand]], donning a scarier, more monstrous expression to say a single word. "SURPRISE!" He goes back to his stoic look in an instant, suggesting he can turn cold and stoic to crazy and monstrous on and off if he wants too.
** "Starcrushed" has him showing more of his [[MaskOfSanity well-hidden]] [[AxeCrazy insanity]] that was briefly hinted in "Storm the Castle". Particularly with his fight against Queen Moon where he's [[PsychoticSmirk smiling sinisterly]] and ''[[LaughingMad laughing maniacally]]''. And it's '''terrifying'''.
** Moon managing to damage his finger and prevent it from regenerating gets a reaction out of him, Star half-vaporizing him renders him LaughingMad, and he showed actual ''fear'' when he saw the WaveMotionGun that did it coming.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist:
** While implied to have once had good motives, they seem completely gone by now in favor of revenge. Even then, it's eventually revealed he murdered Comet more out of hatred than her having actually done anything wrong, as she was probably the single most ''pro-monster'' queen other than Eclipsa and genuinely trying to give the monsters racial equality.
** [[spoiler:Even though his decisions were fueled by his hatred towards Mewmans and Queen Moon, he was eventually right about one thing: magic is too dangerous and must be destroyed or corrupted beyond repair for the greater good. Even ''Star'' agrees with him in the end.]]
* NotWorthKilling: His attitude toward Moon after regaining his full physical form in "Toffee". She'd given back the finger she took from him, and he had taken away her daughter. Leaving her in the anguished mental and emotional state she was currently in was a FateWorseThanDeath for her, so he just walks away.
* OhCrap: His reaction to seeing the WaveMotionGun that damaged him badly enough for Ludo to finish him coming.
* OlderThanHeLooks: He looks to be around his mid-30s, but his conversation with Moon in "Starcrushed" implies older than that which was confirmed in "Moon the Undaunted" when he looks ''exactly'' the same as he does in the present when Moon was a child, revealing that he is older than Moon.
* OnlySaneMan: Given that he works for Ludo. Or, more more accurately, he's using Ludo.
* PowerParasite: In "Starcrushed" he manages to possess Ludo, fuse himself physically with the wand, and absorb the powers of several members of the Magic High Commission.
* PragmaticVillainy:
** In "Marco Grows a Beard", he acts kind to Ludo's minions to make it easier to usurp Ludo, who [[MeanBoss hasn't really done anything but berate his men]].
** He suggests that Ludo use Buff Frog as his number two again rather than outright kill the man, as he's far more useful that way. While it fails due to Ludo having already mistreated him far too much, it was still a worthy idea.
** Once he gets his full body back in "Toffee", he just intends to walk away rather than try to kill Queen Moon and Marco, even when they attack him. As he no longer has magic, it makes more sense for him to go and reform his old army to conquer Mewni than waste time with a physical battle against his enemies.
* PrehensileTail: He uses it to grab Marco and return him to his seat.
* PsychoticSmirk: Since he was TheStoic for the majority of season 1, seeing this on his face means [[AllAccordingToPlan everything is going according to his plans]] and [[FromBadToWorse not good for the heroes.]] When he possess Ludo, he displays this most of the time.
* RasputinianDeath: Star in SuperMode melts him alive with a [[WaveMotionGun blast from her wand]], reducing him to a skeleton covered in black goo. That's not enough to kill him, so [[TheDogBitesBack Ludo]] finishes him off by knocking a pillar over his remains.
* RedBaron: All Septarians have regenerative abilities, but his were so swift and accelerated that he was known as "the Immortal Monster" in Mewni lore. In the "Moon the Undaunted", he was also called "The Lizard".
* RedRightHand: The middle finger of his right hand is missing from the moment he appears (it was taken by Moon Butterfly), despite his regenerative powers that allow him to regrow his entire left arm when Star blasts it off. Becomes more of one when he merges with Ludo, as Ludo's wand regenerates into it and attaches to him, becoming an oversized right arm with the wand fragment in the palm.
* RenegadeSplinterFaction: As revealed in ExpandedUniverse and touched upon in the series: Toffee was the general of the then current Monster King and his murder of Comet was an assassination at a peace treaty Comet had spent her entire reign trying to secure through kindness and tolerance. He and his forces were acting independently of the monster king's wishes.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: A lizard man to be specific.
* RetiredBadass: "Into The Wand" reveals that he was a fierce warrior in the past having faced Moon. The way he does things in the present all but implies that his fighting days are more or less over since that event, preferring to manipulate others and rely on strategy to get revenge against his enemies. "Starcrushed" shows he's still got it, though. It's not that he wanted to retire, but rather he was ''forced'' to due to wounded pride and the awareness that he needed a way around the power that Queen Moon wielded.
* {{Revenge}}: Implied to hold a grudge against the royal family of Mewni, cryptically stating that Ludo is "not the first monster to fall victim to their magic". He means that literally, considering he fought Moon Butterfly. This is apparently a racial trait.
* SelfServingMemory: Hearing him talk, he did nothing wrong and was the one wronged by the Butterfly Family. What he never so much as acknowledges is that he murdered Moon's mother, Comet, a genuinely good queen who'd spent her entire time with the wand trying to bury the hatchet with the monsters and treated them as equals, in cold blood at a peace treaty signing.
* SinisterScimitar: Wielded one in his youth, back when he used to fight Moon.
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Before he started wearing an elegant business suit, Toffee made it a habit to adorn the epaulettes of his armor with the skulls of slain Mewni royalty.
* SlasherSmile:
** Very briefly flashes one after he reveals he wanted Star's wand because he wanted to ''destroy'' it.
-->''Surprise~!''
** When he first appears to Star inside the wand in the climax of "Toffee" he displays a menacing one in his [[EldritchAbomination gigantic form consisting of magical goo.]]
* TheSociopath: Cold, calculating, and perfectly willing to crush Marco to death and beat down the Magic High Commission without a lick of remorse. As a teen, he was even willing to break Glossaryck's arm for the heck of it.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Toffee is always soft-spoken, polite and courteous. But beneath his [[FauxAffablyEvil affable exterior]], hides a cruel and heartless lizard who's willing to go to any lengths to secure his goals. Lacking remorse and empathy, he hides his own sadism and insanity quite well. Even in his gigantic magic goo form, he retains this trait.
* TheStarscream: Ultimately, proves to be this in "Marco Grows a Beard". He could've easily betrayed Ludo before, but he wanted to wait until Ludo showed weakness.
* StealthInsult: Toffee often takes a passive-aggressive approach to insulting people, a stark contrast to when he was a teenager, where he was more openly aggressive and straight-forward in his insults. One notable example was when he offered [[TheNapoleon Ludo]] a drink during his introduction:
--> '''Toffee''': West Mewnian swamp water. Or do you drink from the bottle?
** In "Moon the Undaunted", he greets Moon as princess and even bows to her. Except he's fully aware that the princess is now Queen since he's the one who killed her mother. [[KickTheDog Calling her "Princess" was to show his lack of respect for the newly ascended Queen, rubbing salt on the wound]].
* TheStoic: Always remains calm, collected, and professional.
* StrippedToTheBone: All that remained of him prior to fully taking over Ludo was his skeletal arm (complete with missing finger), which clasps the missing wand crystal part to serve as Ludo's own wand. It eventually regenerates after he completely overtakes Ludo, merging with Ludo's own arm.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: His eyes are gold and he has supernatural regenerating powers.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Though his plans ''require'' Ludo and his minions to be idiots, he's still occasionally exasperated by just how dumb they are.
* TeensAreMonsters: A teenage Toffee appears in "Meteora's Lesson", and it's shown he was more openly petty back then.
-->'''Glossaryck:''' (to Meteora) Yep, that's the bad boy who broke my arm. ''[...]'' I'm sure Toffee had a good reason for doing what he did.\\
'''Toffee:''' You were making that stupid leaf hat, so I snapped your arm.\\
'''Glossaryck:''' OK... not the best reason. But that doesn't mean he has to keep on doing terrible things. If he did, he'd... break my other arm.\\
'''Toffee:''' [[TheSociopath Oh. That's a good idea.]]
* ThanatosGambit: Made every indication that he knew that the Whispering Spell would make the wand explode and did not attempt to avoid his fate. As it turns out, he ''wanted'' to be reduced to spirit form so that his plan could progress further.
* TomTheDarkLord: An "evil efficiency expert" named [[EdibleThemeNaming "Toffee"]].
* {{Troll}}: He does this to Ludo during his introduction, bonus points for keeping a straight face and serious tone:
-->'''Ludo''': Where did you come from?\\
'''Toffee''': I let myself in.\\
'''Ludo''': When?\\
'''Toffee''': After you hired me.\\
'''Ludo''': I hired you?\\
'''Toffee''': I accept.
* TwoBeingsOneBody: He re-emerges in "Starcrushed" as a fusion between himself and Ludo, plus half of Star's wand. He appears to be the dominant personality most of the time, although his laugh at one point is eerily similar to Ludo's.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: He's proven to be a much darker and serious threat to Star and Marco compared to the series' other wacky and comedic villains. Each of his appearances sets up or progresses some major story arc.
* VillainousBreakdown: After Star utterly destroys his body and leaves him a corpse barely clinging to life, Toffee goes LaughingMad, ranting in a nightmarish voice about how he makes all the plans and knows everything, including how this all will end... just before he's unexpectedly killed by Ludo.
* VillainTeleportation: Implied in his first appearance, where he randomly appeared in Ludo's room without explanation. He also seems to teleport in the finale when talking to Marco, to the point he seemingly appears in two places simultaneously.
* VillainousWidowsPeak: Has a notable widow's peak and is the true main antagonist for the first part of the series.
* WalkingSpoiler: He's kind of important for someone who suddenly shows up out of nowhere in the middle of the first season, so it's hard to explain who he is without giving anything away. ''Especially'' in anything past said first season.
* WarriorPrince: According to ''Literature/TheMagicBookOfSpells'', Toffee is, or was, considered a prince during Comet Butterfly's reign and also was a former general.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: According to WordOfGod anyways, which [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme4NT7FleE even compares him to]] Magneto. [[InformedAttribute This is yet to be seen]] beyond a clenched fist at a re-enactment of the great monster massacre at Mewni's founding, although it's more likely that the betterment of monsters was his goal in the past when he tried to overthrow Queen Moon, while he's [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumped off the slippery slope]] in the present day, [[MotiveDecay caring only for his own personal revenge]]. [[spoiler: With the TheReveal of the MHC conspiracy in Season 3 and the events of Season 4, it becomes apparent that Toffee did have a valid point that magic causes more harm than good with the MHC enforcing the status quo that continues to discriminate against monsters. It's just that his plans involving manipulation, kidnapping and killing are where he gets out of line]]. That said, this is still ultimately subverted, as Toffee’s appearance in flashback shows he was always a sadistic bully, even to his fellow monsters. Now, all he wants is power, and he’s willing to extend the tensions between monsters and Mewnis to do it.[[invoked]]
* WouldHitAGirl:
** He gleefully beats the tar out of both Queen Moon and Hekapoo, draining the latter of her magic and rendering her temporarily dead or comatose.
** He killed Moon's mother when Moon was Star's age.
* WouldHurtAChild:
** He was willing to crush Marco, a 14-year old boy, to death in front of Star so that she would comply to his demands. And in "Toffee" he hits Marco so hard that he sent him flying into debris after the latter punched him through the chest out of anger for Toffee seemingly killing Star.
** As Ludo's hand wand he tells him to Levitato a bunch of choir children [[FelonyMisdemeanor because they were singing off-key]].
** In "Starcrushed", he made it clear to Moon that he's going after Star for his finger upon returning. He makes word on his threat in "Toffee" when he doesn't keep his end of the bargain to return Star after Moon gave him his finger and he regained his old form, simply destroying the broken crystal shard while Star is still in there.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: He can regenerate a whole limb in just a few seconds after it's been blasted off by Star's wand, but cannot regenerate one of his fingers which was severed by an unidentified dark spell cast by Queen Moon and then sealed in the wand.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Toffee has yellow eyes which fit his manipulative and cunning nature.
* YouHaveFailedMe: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He convinces Ludo to fire Buff Frog after he fails to get Star's wand.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Toffee tells Ludo's monsters "It has been a pleasure" as the wand is about to explode. He got what he wanted, so he no longer had any use for his allies, deciding to [[TakingYouWithMe take them with him]].
