!!The Woodsmen
->Played by: Robert Broski (''The Return: Part 8''), and Jurgen Prochnow & David Brisbin (''Fire Walk with Me'' & ''The Missing Pieces''). Others portrayed by Stewart Strauss (''The Return: Parts 2 & 8''), Gabriel Lane, Christian Calloway, and three unidentified performers (all in ''The Return: Parts 7, & 8'')
A group of ObviouslyEvil aliens, demonic sprites, or [[MindScrew something]], who take the form of homeless vagrants and lumberjacks. Known to participate in carjackings, murders, parasitic invasions, and other general mischief. They nearly ''always'' appear in pure black and white and may have a connection to the Black Lodge and/or BOB. One in particular credited as "The Woodsman" appeared in New Mexico during the 1950's to dish out some good old fashioned unspeakable terror.
------
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: As with the appearance of any supernatural character, their exaggerated appearance as lumberjacks and vagrants is strongly implied to be because that's the closest thing our minds can make sense of how they actually look.
* ArcWords: For [[EliteMooks The Woodsman]]:
** ''"Gotta light?"''
** ''"This is the water, and this is the well \\
Drink full, and descend \\
The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within."''
* BeardOfEvil: The woodsmen have straggly matted facial hair. [[UncannyValley Some of them even appear to wear large, obviously fake beards]].
* BlackSpeech: Their voices are weirdly distorted.
* BrownNote: Their above mentioned BlackSpeech seems to have this effect at least for that unfortunate middle-aged couple they accosted.
* DarkIsEvil: With the exception of their milky white eyes they are covered head to toe in oil or ash or... something and unlike most supernatural beings (save BOB) who operate on BlueAndOrangeMorality, the Woodsmen seem set on committing evil deeds.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: With the exception of the woodsmen who appear in ''Fire Walk With Me'', in ''The Return'' the woodsmen ''always'' appear in pure black and white, whether they are in the past or the present.
* EarlyBirdCameo: In ''Fire Walk With Me'', during the Phillip Jeffries scene where reality breaks down and flashes to BOB, The Arm and other Black Lodge spirits converging in the [[TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday convenience store]], beings who resemble the Woodsmen can be seen sitting in the background. A terrified old lady who may or may not be a woodsman also briefly appears at the Fat Trout Trailer Park, complete with jarring BrownNote and general sense of unease, while Chet and Stanley stop by to ask about Teresa Banks.
* EldritchAbomination: They are quite unnerving and clearly otherworldly powerful.
* EmotionEater: Swarm around the convenience store built on the ground originally used for nuclear bomb testing like locusts, presumably to feast on all the suffering that resulted from this location.
* EvilSoundsDeep: All the ones who speak have inhumanly deep, gravelly voices.
* FacialHorror: What's Black and White and eerily expressionless all over?
* GreenAesop: It's ''very'' strongly implied their existence is somehow connected to nuclear tests that knocked out part of America's desert wilderness, making [[MindScrew various strange and usually bad things happen]].
* GutturalGrowler: They sound (and look) like Music/TomWaits impersonators.
* {{Hobos}}: They ''look'' like these, but they're really much worse.
* HumanoidAbomination: They look like homeless vagrants or lumberjacks covered in grime but they are far, far from human.
* TheLegionsOfHell: May or may not be the equivalent of cockroaches from the Black Lodge. They certainly give Ray this impression when they creepily appear out of thin air and stampede towards the recently killed Doppel Dale.
* LivingShadow: They can materialize or float away in a cloud of vapor/smoke.
* MadnessMantra: The weird incantation they repeat over the radio, which causes all who hear it to lose consciousness.
* MythologyGag: Anyone familiar with Lynch's other work will certainly have unpleasant memories of [[Film/MulhollandDrive whatever the hell that thing outside Winkie's was]] resurface.
* ObviouslyEvil: Their entire appearance is hinted at with a brown note, and they help out the BigBad of the series while giving anyone else who sees them the heebie jeebies at best and a caved in skull at worst.
* PuppeteerParasite: Appears to be their main weapon, in addition to their skills in hypnotism and reviving the dead.
* RealityWarper: As with the Lodge creatures. They are hinted to be connected to an invasion of parasitic aliens in 1940s/50s New Mexico. They also appeared to revive Mr. C from the dead.
* SerialKiller: A deserted New Mexico town becomes their bloody playground. Oh, does it ever.
* SmokingIsCool: A-fucking-verted.
* SuperStrength: They can crush people's skulls with their bare hands.
* WordSaladHorror: They can use hypnotism through nonsense-sounding phrases to both knock out anyone who hears them and command a parasite to infest a human host.
* ZombieGait: They walk around like stereotypical movie zombies.
[[folder:Experiment]]
!!Experiment
->Played by: Erica Eynon
The... [[HumanoidAbomination thing]] that appeared inside the glass box and killed Sam and Tracy.
----
* DeathBySex: It killed Sam Colby and Tracey Barberato when they were hooking up.
* EldritchAbomination: Even moreso than the other spiritual beings in the series. It looks ''nothing'' like a human being, violently kills the only people unfortunate enough to meet it, and is heavily implied to be [[spoiler: the creator of BOB]].
* EyelessFace: Doesn't appear to have any eyes.
* TheGreys: It somewhat resembles this kind of alien.
* HornedHumanoid: Has two small horns on top of its head. [[spoiler: They make it resemble the symbol on the card Mr. C carries around]].
* HumanoidAbomination: It looks humanoid, but we can safely assume that it's anything but human.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Señorate Dido]]
!!Señorita Dido
->Played by: Joy Nash
A close compatriot of ???????, exact relation unknown although she appears to be family either by marriage or blood. So far, she has appeared to express shock and terror at the fate of a New Mexico town at the hands of an atomic bomb, and eventually The Woodsmen.
----
* BigGood: Is clearly indicated as a (silent but expressive) voice of morality among the story's supernatural beings.
* HeroicMime: Imagine an immensely supernaturally powerful silent movie starlet, and you've got Dido.
* HotWitch: A {{Retraux}} example, she recalls L. Frank Baum's Good Witch of the South in the original ''Oz'' novels.
* LightIsGood: Her shining wardrobe is clearly meant to evoke this.
* RaygunGothic: Her expressionist makeup and extravagant costume recall the surreal and flamboyant aesthetics of silent science fiction cinema such as ''Metropolis'' and ''A Trip to the Moon''. Hers and the Giant's mansion is also built in a Deco-esque science fiction style.

[[folder:The Woodsmen]]
!!The Woodsmen
->Played by: Robert Broski (''The Return: Part 8''), and Jurgen Prochnow & David Brisbin (''Fire Walk with Me'' & ''The Missing Pieces''). Others portrayed by Stewart Strauss (''The Return: Parts 2 & 8''), Gabriel Lane, Christian Calloway, and three unidentified performers (all in ''The Return: Parts 7, & 8'')
A group of ObviouslyEvil aliens, demonic sprites, or [[MindScrew something]], who take the form of homeless vagrants and lumberjacks. Known to participate in carjackings, murders, parasitic invasions, and other general mischief. They nearly ''always'' appear in pure black and white and may have a connection to the Black Lodge and/or BOB. One in particular credited as "The Woodsman" appeared in New Mexico during the 1950's to dish out some good old fashioned unspeakable terror.
------
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: As with the appearance of any supernatural character, their exaggerated appearance as lumberjacks and vagrants is strongly implied to be because that's the closest thing our minds can make sense of how they actually look.
* ArcWords: For [[EliteMooks The Woodsman]]:
** ''"Gotta light?"''
** ''"This is the water, and this is the well \\
Drink full, and descend \\
The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within."''
* BeardOfEvil: The woodsmen have straggly matted facial hair. [[UncannyValley Some of them even appear to wear large, obviously fake beards]].
* BlackSpeech: Their voices are weirdly distorted.
* BrownNote: Their above mentioned BlackSpeech seems to have this effect at least for that unfortunate middle-aged couple they accosted.

[[folder:The Black Lodge and The White Lodge]]
!!The Black Lodge and White Lodge
Enigmatic supernatural entities who live in the woods around Twin Peaks.
----
* BlackSpeech: Their distorted, reversed voices can be considered a variant of this trope.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: They have their own strange code of ethics that make no sense on a human level.
* CreationStory: In ''The Return'', they get one to rival most classic myths.
* CrypticConversation: They speak mainly in vague hints and omens.
* DemonicPossession: At least two of the Lodge creatures assume human form in the personality of an existing person, manipulating their actions.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Everyone and everything in the White Lodge shows up in black and white. Of course, so do the woodsmen whenever they show up.
* DreamWeaver: Seemingly their main way of communicating with mortals.
* EldritchAbomination: They're spiritual beings from another plane of reality who frequently possess and manipulate human beings.
* EmotionEater: They feed on "garmonbozia", the pain and suffering of mortal beings.
* EnergyBeings: They can apparently travel through electricity.
* TheFairFolk: They're not ''fairies'' per se, but they certainly fit the spirit of the trope. In ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'', the Archivist speculates that their interactions with humanity throughout history might be the reason why the trope came into existence in-universe.
* HumanoidAbomination: Most of them appear this way, though it may be a case of AFormYouAreComfortableWith.
* TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday: An effect of their RealityWarper traits -- they once lived above a convenience store on a floor that no longer exists and are implied to have abducted an entire trailer park (assuming it wasn't aliens).
* RealityWarper: They have the power to possess human hosts, create doppelgangers of people who enter the Black Lodge and unleash them on the world (sometimes making it appear as if they were there all along), and make entire houses and floors of buildings disappear and/or reappear. Electricity also starts acting in strange ways whenever they're present.
* RaygunGothic: The apparent wardrobe and aesthetic choices of the White Lodge.
* {{Ultraterrestrials}}: Heavily implied in ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks''. Both Douglas Milford and the Archivist come to believe that whatever they are, they have been around on Earth long before the early mankind walked out of woods (and maybe mankind even left the woods in the first place out of fear for them), and have been behind a lot -- if not all -- of recorded paranormal activity through human history.
* XanatosGambit: [[spoiler: They seem to have implemented two.]]
** [[spoiler: Episode 8 of ''The Return'' seems to imply that before the main events of the series The Giant/????? and Señorita Dido, upon learning about the forces of evil like BOB who were born from the Trinity nuclear tests, created Laura Palmer through divine immaculate conception to combat BOB's evil so that she would die a martyr and create a legacy that would lead to BOB's defeat.]]
** [[spoiler: The Lodge appears to have implemented a second gambit in ''The Return'' with their release of Cooper from his lengthy stay in the Black Lodge and how they have gone out of their way towards guiding EmptyShell Cooper to fulfill their as of yet unrevealed plans.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:BOB]]
!!Killer BOB
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bob.PNG]]
->Played by: Frank Silva, [[spoiler: Ray Wise, and Creator/KyleMacLachlan]]
The show's [[BigBad main villain]]. He is the chief suspect for the murder of Laura Palmer for much of the early season until it is discovered things are much more complicated than that.
----
* AnimalMotifs: He's associated with owls.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: [[spoiler: Given his possession of Leland and his role in Leland's backstory, it's not hard to read BOB as the personification of child abuse.]]
** ''The Return'' then loosely extends the metaphor: [[spoiler:he also represents the "rape" of the environment by nuclear testing and the defilement of humanity by the H-bomb.]]
* AxCrazy: Now, when most people say that one character ''is'' a trope, they don't mean it this literally...
* BigBad: One way or another, Twin Peaks' problems are his doing.
* BodySnatcher: Of the DemonicPossession variety.
* ContinuitySnarl: His origins are given in ''Part 8'' of ''The Return'' while also being included in ''The Secret of Twin Peaks.'' Both are contradictory while also being canon. [[spoiler: ''The Return'' claims Bob was created by the Trinity nuclear tests while TSHOTP claims the owl-shaped spirit has existed far longer. This could be a SubvertedTrope in the most bizarre way, though. Given time doesn't exist in the Black Lodge and the tests could have just allowed him in, these aren't necessarily contradictory. The TSHOTP is also an in-universe document that has other contradictions to the show deliberately put inside it.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Played with, in that he "gets to know" those he possesses and controls their base desires. In the original run this takes the form of [[spoiler: Leland]]'s darker and more harmful abusive sexual urges, represented by BOB's chaotic style of raping and murdering his victims to take garmonbozia from them. It therefore makes sense that 25 years later, while [[spoiler: possessing Cooper]], BOB takes on some of [[spoiler: Cooper]]'s highly controlled and logical personality and channels it into more elaborate, long-term strategies to harvest garmonbozia from his victims. Also arguably justifiable as him trying to stay further off of the Black Lodge's radar, although [[spoiler:he seems to genuinely enjoy playing with his food]].
* DemonicPossession: When he isn't murdering or terrorizing his future victims, BOB takes special interest in hot wiring the body and mind of whoever is unfortunate enough to be his vessel. [[spoiler:Just ask poor Leland and Coop.]]
* DepravedBisexual: [[spoiler:It's implied that he molested Leland when he was younger]].
* TheDreaded: No one that knows BOB wants anything to do with him, even his Black Lodge friends.
* EmotionEater: He feeds on the pain and suffering of humans.
* EvilLaugh: Tends to laugh maniacally during his crimes.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: [[spoiler:A deleted scene from ''Fire Walk With Me'', which was released in ''The Missing Pieces'', sees BOB in control of Cooper's body and trying to emulate Cooper's sense of humor, and... not really doing a good job of it.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Possessed-Cooper:''' I slipped and hit my head on the mirror. The glass broke when my head struck it... ''(with an ominous smile)'' It struck me as funny, Harry. ''(with a sudden vague hint of threat in his voice)'' Do you understand me? It ''struck'' me as ''funny''.]]
* EvilSmellsBad: A sign of BOB's presence is an inexplicable smell of oil or gasoline.
* EvilerThanThou: He manages to violate even the morals of the Black Lodge, a realm of ''pure evil'', to the point where the other Lodge spirits try to capture him.
* FauxAffablyEvil: His behavior while possessing [[spoiler: Leland]] exemplifies this.
* ForTheEvulz: The only reason he does anything. He feeds on pain and suffering, after all.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: It seems that the other residents of the Black Lodge, including his former partner in evil MIKE are pretty fed up with BOB's antics either because he's somehow violating the Lodge's BlueAndOrangeMorality or because he is hogging all of the garmonbozia for himself.
* FusionDance: [[spoiler: A chilling image of BOB's face mixed with Evil Cooper's face in episode 5 of ''The Return'' seems to imply that BOB has merged with the Evil Doppelganger of Cooper that he created but leaves the Coopelganger in control while residing dormant within him.]]
* GrandTheftMe: To [[spoiler:Leland]] and later [[spoiler:Cooper]].
* GreenAesop: In ''The Return'', he is implied to be a product of environmental ruin caused by [[spoiler: the H-bomb]].
* GutturalGrowler: He has a low, raspy voice.
* TheHeartless: Albert speculates that BOB is "the evil that men do" and can't really be destroyed AsLongAsThereIsEvil.
* HiddenVillain: He's seen from time to time during the first season, but it's not until the second that we learn unambiguously that his name is BOB, and much later till we learn his role in the story. [[spoiler: In ''The Return'' it appears that BOB is laying low in the body of Doppel Coop.]]
* HumanoidAbomination: BOB is obviously a kind of demon or something, but he looks like a perfectly average human.
* KnightOfCerebus: Whenever he gets involved at any point in the show, things are guaranteed to get pretty bad. Not to mention frightening. In fact, BOB is arguably single-handedly responsible for most of the darkest elements in the show and most ''definitely'' in the prequel film. Plus, if you look at the NightmareFuel page for the show, he's responsible for at least 80% of the entries, being the main reason most of those scenes are considered scary.
* LargeHam: Justified (sort of) in that he is not played by a professional actor but by a set dresser who happened to find himself [[ThrowItIn accidentally foreshadowed in certain scenes]].
* LimitedWardrobe: Always seen in the same denim vest and jeans.
* MadeOfEvil: His origin story in ''The Return'' makes it clear that he was fully developed bad news from the very get-go.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Not even technically an actor as Frank Silva was just a film crew member who was added to the cast after a ThrowItIn. But behind the scenes interviews show the late Frank Silva in full BOB garb (messy hair and denim vest) as soft spoken and thoughtful in all his responses.
* MindRape: To his direct victims, actual rape for the others.
* MirrorMonster: One of the most iconic in television history.
* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: Whenever he's possessing someone, his reflection shows up in mirrors in place of the victim's.
* MultipleChoicePast: See ContinuitySnarl above. BOB has multiple origins that are all considered canon.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: How he kills [[spoiler: Maddy]].
* OminousOwl: A dream sequence pretty overtly aligns him with the owls [[ArcWords not being what they seem]].
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Implied - the creatures in the Black Lodge feed off pain and suffering, which suggests that BOB's predilection for rape (not to mention [[spoiler:incest]]) is partly motivated by the level of suffering it causes in the victim.
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: The Black Lodge seems to automatically create doppelgangers on its own but ''The Return'' heavily implies that BOB was able to conjure up his own doppelganger of Cooper, Dougie Jones, to trick the Black Lodge and avoid being sucked back in.]]
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Kind of. Frank Silva was barely but ''clearly'' visible in a certain shot in the pilot [[note]]In the reflection of the mirror at the top right of the shot, when Sarah Palmer wakes up and screams at the end of the episode[[/note]]. They easily could have done another take, but David Lynch decided to ThrowItIn and build an entire terrifying character around a single bad take.
* RecursiveAcronym: '''B'''eware '''O'''f '''B'''OB.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler: In the middle of Season 2 after Cooper and Co. have cracked the Laura Palmer case and have Leland dead to rights, BOB taunts everyone and hightails it out of Leland's body but not before making Leland bash his head in as a parting gift.]]
* SerialKiller: Or rather, turns people into one.
* ShoutOut: A messy haired, HumanoidAbomination that rocks a denim vest and jeans with a hobby for appearing in your nightmares? Are we sure BOB's initials aren't [[Literature/TheStand R.F]]?
* SlasherSmile: Just look at his picture!
* SymbioticPossession: [[spoiler: Unlike with Leland who he controlled mercilessly, BOB seems to have this kind of relationship with the Evil Dale Cooper doppelganger he created. They both share the same goal of collecting garmonbozia and work together to avoid being sucked back into the Black Lodge. BOB!Cooper does all of the physical work while BOB remains mostly dormant but influences Doppel Coop's physical appearance and helps maintain the Doppelganger's status as TheDreaded.]]
* TomTheDarkLord: He is a demonic entity who feeds on fear and pleasure and comes from an alternate plane of reality that consists of pure evil. He goes by the name BOB.
* TheUnfettered: "You may think I've ''gone insane'', but '''I promise, I will''' '''''KILL AGAIN!'''''"
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Implied to be the case with the owls, and certainly the case with his human hosts, who can appear as themselves or as BOB depending on what he feels like doing.
* WouldHitAGirl: And he'll do it with someone else's hands too.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With MIKE; before the events of the series the two seemed to have a VillainousFriendship.
* WildHair: Long, grey, and messy. [[spoiler: Given enough time, the hair of the Cooper doppelganger he creates becomes extremely similar.]]
* YourSoulIsMine: [[spoiler: Extracts Window Earle's soul from his body in the last episode of Season 2 after Earle breaks the rules of the Lodge. BOB also leaves Cooper and apparently Leland's souls in the Lodge to rot for all eternity.]]

[[folder:MIKE]]
!!MIKE/Phillip Michael Gerard
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-MIKEDream_6513.jpg]]
->Played by: Al Strobel
Bob's former partner in murder and chaos who has since repented.
-----
* TheAtoner: He claims to be this, although the final scenes of the movie throw a bit of doubt on this claim.
* BodySnatcher: MIKE is a being like BOB who can possess a human host to interact with the world beyond the Black Lodge. But unlike BOB, who frequently {{Body Surf}}s, MIKE seems to prefer staying in the same body, that of shoe salesman Phillip Gerard, so much so the audience never gets to see MIKE's [[ShapeshifterDefaultForm true form]].
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After the Laura Palmer mystery is resolved, he never appears in the show again. He had a fairly prominent part in ''Fire Walk With Me'', however [[spoiler:and appears once again to help Cooper in ''The Return'']].
* HeelFaithTurn: Long before the series, he saw the face of God. Although, considering where MIKE is from, "God" may be another Black Lodge entity.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: He is the only thing that BOB fears.
* RedRightHand: He's missing his left arm, which [[spoiler:he cut off to rid himself of his "Fire Walk With Me" tattoo]].
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With BOB; the two were evil spirits and partners in serial murder. After committing several rape/murders with BOB, MIKE claims to have had a religious epiphany and repented.

[[folder:The Man From Another Place/The Arm]]
!!The Man From Another Place/The Arm
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/man_form_another_place.PNG]]
->Played by: Michael J. Anderson
A being [[spoiler:created from MIKE severing his arm to remove his Fire Walk With Me tattoo]]. Despite this, the Arm seems to be on the side of Cooper.
-----
* AmbiguouslyEvil: He never overtly opposes Cooper and seems to want to stop BOB, but he's also a resident of the Black Lodge and there's a very sinister air to all of his scenes.
** He works with BOB in [[spoiler: killing Josie Packard and claiming her soul.]]
** He later actively helps Cooper in his quest to escape the Black Lodge and survive assassination attempts against him in ''The Return.''
* ArcWords: He's the source of many of them.
** "That gum you like is going to come back in style."
** "I am the arm."
** "Let's rock!"
** When he speaks the arc words of the entire series, "Fire walk with me", [[TrippyFinaleSyndrome the series ends in a deluge of nonsense.]]
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: His new form in ''The Return'' is pretty freaky looking. For context, he looks like a tree with a human brain on the top which is powered by electricity.]]
* TheChessmaster: May or may not be controlling everything, even BOB.
* CrypticConversation: Oh my yes... The fact that Cooper keeps seeing him in his dreams, where nothing has to really make sense, just makes things more ''sinister''.
* HeroicNeutral: One interpretation of the character is that he's friends with MIKE and BOB both due to being the part of Mike which was "touched by the Devilish one."
** NeutralNoLonger: [[spoiler: This is finally resolved in ''The Return'' when he's actively working against BOB and to draw him back into the Black Lodge.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKBRyNNW3u0 ''Dance of the Dream Man'']], which plays whenever something mysterious is happening.
* LittlePeopleAreSurreal: One of the more memorable instances. [[spoiler:In ''Twin Peaks: The Return'', he's ditched his dwarf form and evolved into something even more surreal.]]
* MeaningfulName: He is "The Arm" [[spoiler: in one somewhat more literal sense, given he is implied to be MIKE's arm]], but is also the arm in the sense of a weapon (his [[spoiler: advanced form]] has weaponized traits) and in the sense of The Black Lodge's "long arm of the law" and the main enforcer of its rules.
* TheNameless: It's not known if he even has a name. [[WildMassGuessing Some]] contend that he is [[spoiler:MIKE]]. Others suspect that the "I am the arm" statement implies that [[spoiler: he's the evil part that MIKE left behind when he decided to atone.]]
* WiseTree: [[spoiler: In ''The Return'', he's metamorphosed into something resembling a skeletal tree with a weird, fleshy growth acting as its face]].

[[folder:The Giant/???????/The Fireman]]
!!The Giant/???????/The Fireman
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_giant.PNG]]
->Played by: Carel Struycken
A mysterious godlike being who is instrumental in solving the Laura Palmer case.
-----
* ArcWords: "The Owls are not what they seem."
* BaldOfAwesome: A bald giant.
* BigGood: Unlike the MFANP who displays AmbiguouslyEvil and ChessMaster traits when speaking to Cooper, the Giant seems to sincerely want to help Cooper with the Laura Palmer case by giving him honest and slightly less cryptic clues.
* BodySnatcher: However, it's clear he has stayed in the same body for a long, long time.
* CannotTellALie: "The things I tell you will not be wrong."
* TheChooserOfTheOne: ''The Return'' implies this is his role [[spoiler: to Laura]], assuming he's not her "father" in some spiritual sense such as immaculate conception, using humans as a vessel, or similar.
* CoolHouse: Lives in a {{Retraux}} Raygun Gothic mansion that looks straight out of the imagination of Georges Melies or William Wallace Denslow.
* CrypticConversation: Less so than The Man From Another Place, giving one straightforward clue - "Without chemicals, [[YouKnowTheOne he]] points." Some of his dialogue indicates that he genuinely wants to make more sense, but his ability to do so is somehow limited by forces out of his control.
* GentleGiant: His speaking voice is pleasant, and he's dressed smartly. It's difficult to imagine him hurting a fly. That said, he is a creature of the Black Lodge, a world of pure evil... but is also clearly a major figure in the White Lodge whenever he appears in black and white, so his [[IncrediblyLamePun true colors]] are unknown.
* GoodCounterpart: To the Man From Another Place. He seems to be much more benevolent in his aims, and speaks normally and pleasantly in contrast to the Man's BlackSpeech. His gigantism also contrasts the Man's dwarfism.
* GreaterScopeParagon: Is apparently something like the Aslan of the Twin Peaks universe.
* TheMaker: ''The Return'' strongly implies [[spoiler:that he, or a spirit who created him in his image, had a role in the creation of the Black Lodge and its denizens, if not the entire world itself]].
* MeaningfulName: His name is revealed as The Fireman later on in ''The Return''. He [[spoiler:is present at the creation of BOB and appears to be involved in the birth of Laura Palmer.]] Both of whom are associated with fire. So if he isn't a god, he is at the very least a kind of Prometheus figue.
* TheNameless: Officially credited as "''???????''" in ''The Return''.

-----
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Implied as with all Black Lodge creatures.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Invoked with his song.
* CoolOldGuy: A cool, old jazz singer.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Jimmy Scott was born with Kallmann syndrome, which stunted his growth and he never went through puberty. This left his beautiful voice unbroken.

[[folder:Pierre Tremond/Chalfont]]
!!Pierre Tremond/Chalfont
->Played by: Austin Jack Lynch (TV show), Jonathan J. Lepell (''Fire Walk With Me'')
A Black Lodge spirit who dresses in a mask and tuxedo.
-----
* TheBlank: His mask's only feature is a long, needle-like nose.
* CreepyChild: He's scary even in comparison to the other Black Lodge creatures, which is saying ''a lot''.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: A fairly baffling scene in the movie has his face briefly turning into a monkey's face, in what is probably an {{homage}} to ''Series/ThePrisoner''.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: His little magic trick with creamed corn along with the old woman's CrypticConversation foreshadow the importance of Garmonbozia, the pain and suffering entities like them live off of that is usually represented by creamed corn.
* LeftHanging: Us, on who exactly this kid is. The movie strongly implies he's one of the Lodge spirits, but his significance is never really explained, and was presumably going to be explored a bit further had the show continued.
* SharpDressedMan: His cool tuxedo.
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Wears a spooky [[TheBlank blank]] mask.

* CreationStory: In ''The Return'', they get one to rival most classic myths.
* CrypticConversation: They speak mainly in vague hints and omens.
* DemonicPossession: At least two of the Lodge creatures assume human form in the personality of an existing person, manipulating their actions.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Everyone and everything in the White Lodge shows up in black and white. Of course, so do the woodsmen whenever they show up.
* DreamWeaver: Seemingly their main way of communicating with mortals.
* EldritchAbomination: They're spiritual beings from another plane of reality who frequently possess and manipulate human beings.
* EmotionEater: They feed on "garmonbozia", the pain and suffering of mortal beings.
* EnergyBeings: They can apparently travel through electricity.
* TheFairFolk: They're not ''fairies'' per se, but they certainly fit the spirit of the trope. In ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks'', the Archivist speculates that their interactions with humanity throughout history might be the reason why the trope came into existence in-universe.
* HumanoidAbomination: Most of them appear this way, though it may be a case of AFormYouAreComfortableWith.
* TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday: An effect of their RealityWarper traits -- they once lived above a convenience store on a floor that no longer exists and are implied to have abducted an entire trailer park (assuming it wasn't aliens).
* RealityWarper: They have the power to possess human hosts, create doppelgangers of people who enter the Black Lodge and unleash them on the world (sometimes making it appear as if they were there all along), and make entire houses and floors of buildings disappear and/or reappear. Electricity also starts acting in strange ways whenever they're present.
* RaygunGothic: The apparent wardrobe and aesthetic choices of the White Lodge.
* {{Ultraterrestrials}}: Heavily implied in ''The Secret History of Twin Peaks''. Both Douglas Milford and the Archivist come to believe that whatever they are, they have been around on Earth long before the early mankind walked out of woods (and maybe mankind even left the woods in the first place out of fear for them), and have been behind a lot -- if not all -- of recorded paranormal activity through human history.
* XanatosGambit: [[spoiler: They seem to have implemented two.]]
** [[spoiler: Episode 8 of ''The Return'' seems to imply that before the main events of the series The Giant/????? and Señorita Dido, upon learning about the forces of evil like BOB who were born from the Trinity nuclear tests, created Laura Palmer through divine immaculate conception to combat BOB's evil so that she would die a martyr and create a legacy that would lead to BOB's defeat.]]
** [[spoiler: The Lodge appears to have implemented a second gambit in ''The Return'' with their release of Cooper from his lengthy stay in the Black Lodge and how they have gone out of their way towards guiding EmptyShell Cooper to fulfill their as of yet unrevealed plans.]]

[[folder:BOB]]
!!Killer BOB
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bob.PNG]]
->Played by: Frank Silva, [[spoiler: Ray Wise, and Creator/KyleMacLachlan]]
The show's [[BigBad main villain]]. He is the chief suspect for the murder of Laura Palmer for much of the early season until it is discovered things are much more complicated than that.
----
* AnimalMotifs: He's associated with owls.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: [[spoiler: Given his possession of Leland and his role in Leland's backstory, it's not hard to read BOB as the personification of child abuse.]]
** ''The Return'' then loosely extends the metaphor: [[spoiler:he also represents the "rape" of the environment by nuclear testing and the defilement of humanity by the H-bomb.]]
* AxCrazy: Now, when most people say that one character ''is'' a trope, they don't mean it this literally...
* BigBad: One way or another, Twin Peaks' problems are his doing.
* BodySnatcher: Of the DemonicPossession variety.
* ContinuitySnarl: His origins are given in ''Part 8'' of ''The Return'' while also being included in ''The Secret of Twin Peaks.'' Both are contradictory while also being canon. [[spoiler: ''The Return'' claims Bob was created by the Trinity nuclear tests while TSHOTP claims the owl-shaped spirit has existed far longer. This could be a SubvertedTrope in the most bizarre way, though. Given time doesn't exist in the Black Lodge and the tests could have just allowed him in, these aren't necessarily contradictory. The TSHOTP is also an in-universe document that has other contradictions to the show deliberately put inside it.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Played with, in that he "gets to know" those he possesses and controls their base desires. In the original run this takes the form of [[spoiler: Leland]]'s darker and more harmful abusive sexual urges, represented by BOB's chaotic style of raping and murdering his victims to take garmonbozia from them. It therefore makes sense that 25 years later, while [[spoiler: possessing Cooper]], BOB takes on some of [[spoiler: Cooper]]'s highly controlled and logical personality and channels it into more elaborate, long-term strategies to harvest garmonbozia from his victims. Also arguably justifiable as him trying to stay further off of the Black Lodge's radar, although [[spoiler:he seems to genuinely enjoy playing with his food]].
* DemonicPossession: When he isn't murdering or terrorizing his future victims, BOB takes special interest in hot wiring the body and mind of whoever is unfortunate enough to be his vessel. [[spoiler:Just ask poor Leland and Coop.]]
* DepravedBisexual: [[spoiler:It's implied that he molested Leland when he was younger]].
* TheDreaded: No one that knows BOB wants anything to do with him, even his Black Lodge friends.
* EmotionEater: He feeds on the pain and suffering of humans.
* EvilLaugh: Tends to laugh maniacally during his crimes.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: [[spoiler:A deleted scene from ''Fire Walk With Me'', which was released in ''The Missing Pieces'', sees BOB in control of Cooper's body and trying to emulate Cooper's sense of humor, and... not really doing a good job of it.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Possessed-Cooper:''' I slipped and hit my head on the mirror. The glass broke when my head struck it... ''(with an ominous smile)'' It struck me as funny, Harry. ''(with a sudden vague hint of threat in his voice)'' Do you understand me? It ''struck'' me as ''funny''.]]
* EvilSmellsBad: A sign of BOB's presence is an inexplicable smell of oil or gasoline.
* EvilerThanThou: He manages to violate even the morals of the Black Lodge, a realm of ''pure evil'', to the point where the other Lodge spirits try to capture him.
* FauxAffablyEvil: His behavior while possessing [[spoiler: Leland]] exemplifies this.
* ForTheEvulz: The only reason he does anything. He feeds on pain and suffering, after all.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: It seems that the other residents of the Black Lodge, including his former partner in evil MIKE are pretty fed up with BOB's antics either because he's somehow violating the Lodge's BlueAndOrangeMorality or because he is hogging all of the garmonbozia for himself.
* FusionDance: [[spoiler: A chilling image of BOB's face mixed with Evil Cooper's face in episode 5 of ''The Return'' seems to imply that BOB has merged with the Evil Doppelganger of Cooper that he created but leaves the Coopelganger in control while residing dormant within him.]]
* GrandTheftMe: To [[spoiler:Leland]] and later [[spoiler:Cooper]].
* GreenAesop: In ''The Return'', he is implied to be a product of environmental ruin caused by [[spoiler: the H-bomb]].
* GutturalGrowler: He has a low, raspy voice.
* TheHeartless: Albert speculates that BOB is "the evil that men do" and can't really be destroyed AsLongAsThereIsEvil.
* HiddenVillain: He's seen from time to time during the first season, but it's not until the second that we learn unambiguously that his name is BOB, and much later till we learn his role in the story. [[spoiler: In ''The Return'' it appears that BOB is laying low in the body of Doppel Coop.]]
* HumanoidAbomination: BOB is obviously a kind of demon or something, but he looks like a perfectly average human.
* KnightOfCerebus: Whenever he gets involved at any point in the show, things are guaranteed to get pretty bad. Not to mention frightening. In fact, BOB is arguably single-handedly responsible for most of the darkest elements in the show and most ''definitely'' in the prequel film. Plus, if you look at the NightmareFuel page for the show, he's responsible for at least 80% of the entries, being the main reason most of those scenes are considered scary.
* LargeHam: Justified (sort of) in that he is not played by a professional actor but by a set dresser who happened to find himself [[ThrowItIn accidentally foreshadowed in certain scenes]].
* LimitedWardrobe: Always seen in the same denim vest and jeans.
* MadeOfEvil: His origin story in ''The Return'' makes it clear that he was fully developed bad news from the very get-go.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Not even technically an actor as Frank Silva was just a film crew member who was added to the cast after a ThrowItIn. But behind the scenes interviews show the late Frank Silva in full BOB garb (messy hair and denim vest) as soft spoken and thoughtful in all his responses.
* MindRape: To his direct victims, actual rape for the others.
* MirrorMonster: One of the most iconic in television history.
* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: Whenever he's possessing someone, his reflection shows up in mirrors in place of the victim's.
* MultipleChoicePast: See ContinuitySnarl above. BOB has multiple origins that are all considered canon.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: How he kills [[spoiler: Maddy]].
* OminousOwl: A dream sequence pretty overtly aligns him with the owls [[ArcWords not being what they seem]].
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Implied - the creatures in the Black Lodge feed off pain and suffering, which suggests that BOB's predilection for rape (not to mention [[spoiler:incest]]) is partly motivated by the level of suffering it causes in the victim.
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: The Black Lodge seems to automatically create doppelgangers on its own but ''The Return'' heavily implies that BOB was able to conjure up his own doppelganger of Cooper, Dougie Jones, to trick the Black Lodge and avoid being sucked back in.]]
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Kind of. Frank Silva was barely but ''clearly'' visible in a certain shot in the pilot [[note]]In the reflection of the mirror at the top right of the shot, when Sarah Palmer wakes up and screams at the end of the episode[[/note]]. They easily could have done another take, but David Lynch decided to ThrowItIn and build an entire terrifying character around a single bad take.
* RecursiveAcronym: '''B'''eware '''O'''f '''B'''OB.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler: In the middle of Season 2 after Cooper and Co. have cracked the Laura Palmer case and have Leland dead to rights, BOB taunts everyone and hightails it out of Leland's body but not before making Leland bash his head in as a parting gift.]]
* SerialKiller: Or rather, turns people into one.
* ShoutOut: A messy haired, HumanoidAbomination that rocks a denim vest and jeans with a hobby for appearing in your nightmares? Are we sure BOB's initials aren't [[Literature/TheStand R.F]]?
* SlasherSmile: Just look at his picture!
* SymbioticPossession: [[spoiler: Unlike with Leland who he controlled mercilessly, BOB seems to have this kind of relationship with the Evil Dale Cooper doppelganger he created. They both share the same goal of collecting garmonbozia and work together to avoid being sucked back into the Black Lodge. BOB!Cooper does all of the physical work while BOB remains mostly dormant but influences Doppel Coop's physical appearance and helps maintain the Doppelganger's status as TheDreaded.]]
* TomTheDarkLord: He is a demonic entity who feeds on fear and pleasure and comes from an alternate plane of reality that consists of pure evil. He goes by the name BOB.
* TheUnfettered: "You may think I've ''gone insane'', but '''I promise, I will''' '''''KILL AGAIN!'''''"
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Implied to be the case with the owls, and certainly the case with his human hosts, who can appear as themselves or as BOB depending on what he feels like doing.
* WouldHitAGirl: And he'll do it with someone else's hands too.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With MIKE; before the events of the series the two seemed to have a VillainousFriendship.
* WildHair: Long, grey, and messy. [[spoiler: Given enough time, the hair of the Cooper doppelganger he creates becomes extremely similar.]]
* YourSoulIsMine: [[spoiler: Extracts Window Earle's soul from his body in the last episode of Season 2 after Earle breaks the rules of the Lodge. BOB also leaves Cooper and apparently Leland's souls in the Lodge to rot for all eternity.]]

[[folder:MIKE]]
!!MIKE/Phillip Michael Gerard
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-MIKEDream_6513.jpg]]
->Played by: Al Strobel
Bob's former partner in murder and chaos who has since repented.
-----
* TheAtoner: He claims to be this, although the final scenes of the movie throw a bit of doubt on this claim.
* BodySnatcher: MIKE is a being like BOB who can possess a human host to interact with the world beyond the Black Lodge. But unlike BOB, who frequently {{Body Surf}}s, MIKE seems to prefer staying in the same body, that of shoe salesman Phillip Gerard, so much so the audience never gets to see MIKE's [[ShapeshifterDefaultForm true form]].
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After the Laura Palmer mystery is resolved, he never appears in the show again. He had a fairly prominent part in ''Fire Walk With Me'', however [[spoiler:and appears once again to help Cooper in ''The Return'']].
* HeelFaithTurn: Long before the series, he saw the face of God. Although, considering where MIKE is from, "God" may be another Black Lodge entity.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: He is the only thing that BOB fears.
* RedRightHand: He's missing his left arm, which [[spoiler:he cut off to rid himself of his "Fire Walk With Me" tattoo]].
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With BOB; the two were evil spirits and partners in serial murder. After committing several rape/murders with BOB, MIKE claims to have had a religious epiphany and repented.

[[folder:The Man From Another Place/The Arm]]
!!The Man From Another Place/The Arm
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/man_form_another_place.PNG]]
->Played by: Michael J. Anderson
A being [[spoiler:created from MIKE severing his arm to remove his Fire Walk With Me tattoo]]. Despite this, the Arm seems to be on the side of Cooper.
-----
* AmbiguouslyEvil: He never overtly opposes Cooper and seems to want to stop BOB, but he's also a resident of the Black Lodge and there's a very sinister air to all of his scenes.
** He works with BOB in [[spoiler: killing Josie Packard and claiming her soul.]]
** He later actively helps Cooper in his quest to escape the Black Lodge and survive assassination attempts against him in ''The Return.''
* ArcWords: He's the source of many of them.
** "That gum you like is going to come back in style."
** "I am the arm."
** "Let's rock!"
** When he speaks the arc words of the entire series, "Fire walk with me", [[TrippyFinaleSyndrome the series ends in a deluge of nonsense.]]
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: His new form in ''The Return'' is pretty freaky looking. For context, he looks like a tree with a human brain on the top which is powered by electricity.]]
* TheChessmaster: May or may not be controlling everything, even BOB.
* CrypticConversation: Oh my yes... The fact that Cooper keeps seeing him in his dreams, where nothing has to really make sense, just makes things more ''sinister''.
* HeroicNeutral: One interpretation of the character is that he's friends with MIKE and BOB both due to being the part of Mike which was "touched by the Devilish one."
** NeutralNoLonger: [[spoiler: This is finally resolved in ''The Return'' when he's actively working against BOB and to draw him back into the Black Lodge.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKBRyNNW3u0 ''Dance of the Dream Man'']], which plays whenever something mysterious is happening.
* LittlePeopleAreSurreal: One of the more memorable instances. [[spoiler:In ''Twin Peaks: The Return'', he's ditched his dwarf form and evolved into something even more surreal.]]
* MeaningfulName: He is "The Arm" [[spoiler: in one somewhat more literal sense, given he is implied to be MIKE's arm]], but is also the arm in the sense of a weapon (his [[spoiler: advanced form]] has weaponized traits) and in the sense of The Black Lodge's "long arm of the law" and the main enforcer of its rules.
* TheNameless: It's not known if he even has a name. [[WildMassGuessing Some]] contend that he is [[spoiler:MIKE]]. Others suspect that the "I am the arm" statement implies that [[spoiler: he's the evil part that MIKE left behind when he decided to atone.]]
* WiseTree: [[spoiler: In ''The Return'', he's metamorphosed into something resembling a skeletal tree with a weird, fleshy growth acting as its face]].

[[folder:The Giant/???????/The Fireman]]
!!The Giant/???????/The Fireman
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_giant.PNG]]
->Played by: Carel Struycken
A mysterious godlike being who is instrumental in solving the Laura Palmer case.
-----
* ArcWords: "The Owls are not what they seem."
* BaldOfAwesome: A bald giant.
* BigGood: Unlike the MFANP who displays AmbiguouslyEvil and ChessMaster traits when speaking to Cooper, the Giant seems to sincerely want to help Cooper with the Laura Palmer case by giving him honest and slightly less cryptic clues.
* BodySnatcher: However, it's clear he has stayed in the same body for a long, long time.
* CannotTellALie: "The things I tell you will not be wrong."
* TheChooserOfTheOne: ''The Return'' implies this is his role [[spoiler: to Laura]], assuming he's not her "father" in some spiritual sense such as immaculate conception, using humans as a vessel, or similar.
* CoolHouse: Lives in a {{Retraux}} Raygun Gothic mansion that looks straight out of the imagination of Georges Melies or William Wallace Denslow.
* CrypticConversation: Less so than The Man From Another Place, giving one straightforward clue - "Without chemicals, [[YouKnowTheOne he]] points." Some of his dialogue indicates that he genuinely wants to make more sense, but his ability to do so is somehow limited by forces out of his control.
* GentleGiant: His speaking voice is pleasant, and he's dressed smartly. It's difficult to imagine him hurting a fly. That said, he is a creature of the Black Lodge, a world of pure evil... but is also clearly a major figure in the White Lodge whenever he appears in black and white, so his [[IncrediblyLamePun true colors]] are unknown.
* GoodCounterpart: To the Man From Another Place. He seems to be much more benevolent in his aims, and speaks normally and pleasantly in contrast to the Man's BlackSpeech. His gigantism also contrasts the Man's dwarfism.
* GreaterScopeParagon: Is apparently something like the Aslan of the Twin Peaks universe.
* TheMaker: ''The Return'' strongly implies [[spoiler:that he, or a spirit who created him in his image, had a role in the creation of the Black Lodge and its denizens, if not the entire world itself]].
* MeaningfulName: His name is revealed as The Fireman later on in ''The Return''. He [[spoiler:is present at the creation of BOB and appears to be involved in the birth of Laura Palmer.]] Both of whom are associated with fire. So if he isn't a god, he is at the very least a kind of Prometheus figue.
* TheNameless: Officially credited as "''???????''" in ''The Return''.

->Played by: [[AsHimself Jimmy Scott]]
Jimmy Scott playing a Black Lodge spirit who has assumed the form of Jimmy Scott.
-----
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Implied as with all Black Lodge creatures.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Invoked with his song.
* CoolOldGuy: A cool, old jazz singer.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Jimmy Scott was born with Kallmann syndrome, which stunted his growth and he never went through puberty. This left his beautiful voice unbroken.

[[folder:Pierre Tremond/Chalfont]]
!!Pierre Tremond/Chalfont
->Played by: Austin Jack Lynch (TV show), Jonathan J. Lepell (''Fire Walk With Me'')
A Black Lodge spirit who dresses in a mask and tuxedo.
-----
* TheBlank: His mask's only feature is a long, needle-like nose.
* CreepyChild: He's scary even in comparison to the other Black Lodge creatures, which is saying ''a lot''.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: A fairly baffling scene in the movie has his face briefly turning into a monkey's face, in what is probably an {{homage}} to ''Series/ThePrisoner''.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: His little magic trick with creamed corn along with the old woman's CrypticConversation foreshadow the importance of Garmonbozia, the pain and suffering entities like them live off of that is usually represented by creamed corn.
* LeftHanging: Us, on who exactly this kid is. The movie strongly implies he's one of the Lodge spirits, but his significance is never really explained, and was presumably going to be explored a bit further had the show continued.
* SharpDressedMan: His cool tuxedo.
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Wears a spooky [[TheBlank blank]] mask.
