* NoNameGiven: None of the Ninjas' names are given at all.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: The three ninjas look human, but one has the ability to do MentalTimeTravel and his eyes glow red with SpinningClocks shown when he time travels mentally, which raises questions about what they really are. Similarly, the Giant in one episode that parodies Jack and the Beanstalk ''may'' or may not be human, but it's never stated outright.
