Line #221 Characters/Gregoryhorrorshow


1	In order of (more or less) their first appearance in the anime... %%(Will probably use a different sorting method in time.)
2
3	!! Several characters share the following tropes:
4
5	* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Some of the guests are supposed to represent a specific fear. Some are pretty obvious while others are more up to interpretation. For example:
6	** Catherine: Fear of [[AfraidOfDoctors doctors]], particularly those with [[AfraidOfNeedles scary needles]].
7	** Judgment Boy: Fear of life choices and its consequences.
8	** Lost Doll: Fear of loneliness/abandonment.
9	** Mummy Dog and Papa: Fear of injury/disease.
10	** Cactus Gunman: Fear of weakness/not living up to expectations.
11	** Hell's Chef: Fear of criticism/insults.
12	** Roulette Boy: Fear of the future and the unexpected.
13	** TV Fish: Fear of the past and not being able to escape it.
14	** Clock Master/My Son: Fear of aging.
15	** Angel/Devil Dog: Fear of death and the afterlife.
16	* MeaningfulName: Quite a few of them have this. Mummy Dog is a dog swathed in bandages, Mummy Papa is the same, and is his father, Judgement Boy delivers judgement on those who made decisions they regret, Lost Doll is constantly searching for her beloved doll, not knowing that she in fact ''is'' that doll, Roulette Boy has a roulette wheel on his head... The list goes on.
17	* MonsterOfTheWeek: Much of the cast doesn't appear all too often, but most of them have at least one episode per season, and have cameos in other episodes.
18	* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Some of the characters aren't intentionally malicious, they just have very weird ways of thinking, which throws a spanner into the Guest's attempts at escaping.
19	----
20
21	!!Gregory
22	!!!Voiced by: Chafurin (Japanese); Dave Pettitt (English)
23
24	* AnthropomorphicPersonification: It is ''very'' strongly suggested he's the physical form of (lost) desires and dreams...his hotel/world is a manifestation of chaos.
25	* BornUnlucky: Whenever he plays Roulette Boy's games, he always lands on "bad" squares. He doesn't have this issue in the [=PS2=] game.
26	* ButtMonkey: Becomes this in ''The Bloody Karte'', though he had lots of other moments before that season.
27	* CollectorOfTheStrange: In the manga, he collects various strange objects, such as a Russian roulette chair and Hitler's dentures. Lost or damaged souls with unfulfilled hopes and dreams he finds even more irresistible.
28	** We also learn that he's been collecting things since he was 8, starting with military-related stuff.
29	* ControlFreak: He needs to know where his guests are for every single waking moment.
30	* CrustyCaretaker: Of Gregory House, of course.
31	* DimensionLord: Of "The Lost World" (which seems to be Purgatory).
32	* DirtyOldMan: He has a collection of porn magazines (in the videogame, he introduces the concept of book items by confiscating a dirty magazine from the current guest and running off to the Storeroom), makes a few suggestive comments to Second Guest, and in ''Bloody Karte,'' he gropes Cactus Girl.
33	* EvilLaugh: Well, more of a chuckle, but still evil...
34	* FauxAffablyEvil: Oh sure, he'll say he wants to help the guests, offer them a place to stay, and calls the Guests "my friend/my dear," but he'll do it while breaking their psyches, swallowing human souls, and actively planning to feed them to his mother.
35	* FriendlyEnemy: Despite the fact that he's keeping every Lost Soul in his hotel for all eternity, the guy genuinely likes the Guests of the two series and the manga.
36	* KickTheDog: In one episode of the ''Bloody Karte,'' Gregory decides to blame Dr. Fritz for giving him a dirty magazine (Which Gregory obtained himself.) after James blabs about how it's Gregory's.
37	** There's also his interaction with the two Mousetraps in the ''Last Train'' as he baits them into going against their instincts to sit next to each other and then says that he hates it when people go against them. Right after they [[spoiler: seemingly]] destroyed each other no less.
38	* NighInvulnerable: You ''cannot destroy him'' through any means, real or unreal. He'll keep on returning, he'll always keep your room ready for you. Oh, and don't bother running. [[YouWillNotEvadeMe You cannot escape him either]].
39	* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Expect him to pop up in your face when you least expect it, practically breathing ''down your neck''.
40	* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: He can become a ghost, usually in a desperate situation (the house burning down for instance).]]
41	* OrderVersusChaos: His conflict with Judgement Boy in ''The Last Train'' boils down to his belief in the future being unpredictable and chaotic as opposed to a set path. When Judgement Boy hoists one of his infamous judgements on the titular train, Gregory gives it a RousingSpeech, giving the train the confidence to TakeAThirdOption and plow right off the rails, running Judgement Boy over in the process.
42	* PetTheDog: He has his moments--mainly in the third and fourth seasons.
43	* ScrewDestiny: A surprising mindset coming from someone who drags people into madness, but he believes that the future is, while inevitable, self-determined.
44	* VillainProtagonist: The third season focuses on him instead of a guest.
45	* VillainousBreakdown: Not as obvious like many others but it does happen in the game. [[spoiler: As the guest makes their way towards the light after [[OneWingedAngel Gregory changes his form,]] he goes from camly asking the guest to reconsider to pleading and then yelling at them to "stop this foolishness."]]
46	* YouDirtyRat: He's one nasty rat!
47
48	!!The Guest
49	!!!Voiced by: Chafurin (First Guest), Yoko Okada (Second Guest) (Japanese); Jonathan Love (First Guest), Allyson June Smith (Second Guest) (English)
50
51	The Guest is the main character of the first two seasons, with everything seen from their eyes. The First Guest is a working man with a wife and son, and the Second Guest is a working woman who struggles with the decision of CareerVersusMan. In the manga, the guest is a jobless 22-year old named Tooru Takenozuka.
52	----
53	* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: This is the implied fate of the First and Second Guests, with the First Guest becoming Haniwa Salaryman and the Second Guest becoming a member of Gregory's family.
54	* BadassNormal: The Second Guest deserves this for the fact that at one point she, rather than just take Gregory's BS, ''picks up an ax and chases him off with it.''
55	* DamagedSoul: Tooru Takenozuka from the manga. [[spoiler:Outwardly, he appears to be a 22-year-old freeter (i.e. an unemployed person). It's later revealed that Takenozuka's very form and spirit is in a state of constant flux. He is, in reality, 50 years old, but part of him could ''never'' accept the fact that he grew beyond his twenties without accomplishing anything extraordinary or wonderful with his life. All of his dreams and ambitions went unfulfilled.]]
56	* DownerEnding: Neither Guest manages to escape the hotel, and returns to stay forever. The First Guest quite likely becoming Haniwa Salaryman, and the Second Guest becomes a member of Gregory's family.
57	** This also extends to the Player Character Guests from ''Soul Collector'' and ''Lost Qualia'', as all of them wind up returning to Gregory House after their storylines end. The only one who averts it is Tooru due to his wife, as he views his wife far better in the end, and thus is free of Gregory and the hotel's influence.
58	* TheFaceless: Averted with Tooru from the Manga.
59	* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:The second Guest becomes another member of Gregory's family.]]
60	* NoNameGiven: To either. Though the first guest [[spoiler:implied to become Haniwa Salaryman]] gains one after becoming trapped in the hotel. Averted with the manga and its guest Tooru Takenozuka.
61	* PetTheDog: Both guests engage in this more than once.
62	* POVCam: Most scenes are displayed from their perspective.
63	* SanitySlippage: Heavily implied for the First and Second Guests and explicitly used as the ''Soul Collector'' Guest's LifeMeter. [[spoiler: Said Guest also experiences it regardless in the ending of the game, as realizing that coming to Gregory House of their own volition to escape the crushing aspects of reality means that they could end up going back... and they inevitably do, this time for good.]]
64	* SoullessShell: [[spoiler:What the First Guest ends up becoming.]]
65	* SweetAndSourGrapes: [[spoiler:After escaping the hotel, the First and Second Guest return to life as how they desired it... and quickly realize that the world was as bland and dreadful as it was said to be, and return to Gregory House.]]
66	* WomanScorned: Heavily implied by the Second Guest's backstory.
67	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: Almost too literally with the Second Guest, after she becomes part of Gregory's family (and therefore become a mouse/rodent), she's never mentioned again.]]
68
69	!!Neko Zombie
70	!!!Voiced by: Nao Nagasawa (Japanese); Onalea Gilbertson (English)
71
72	Once part of a family that stayed at Gregory House and cause the Rat a lot of grief, Neko Zombie was seemingly taken apart, put back together, and had his face sewn up. He's usually in his room, shackled and moaning for food.
73	----
74	* AdaptationalVillainy: In the manga, Neko Zombie is not the chained-up helpful character he is from the show or games. Instead he owns a fish catching game at a festival, teleports the main character into a giant pool and chastises him about being indecisive and hesitant to pick a dream, and is just as insane as everyone else.
75	* CatsAreMean: He's not actually a bad guy and genuinely wants to help guests escape if he can, but he's understandably bitter about what was done to him and so he can be snappish. Approaching him during certain times in the game, specifically when he's very hungry, will cause him to attack you. And if you had chocolate on you at times like this, he takes it without giving any item in return.
76	* DarkAndTroubledPast: There's the body-being-sewn-up thing, of course, but there's also a hint that something else has happened to him, judging from the way he states he doesn't deserve to leave to Angel Dog.
77	* DontYouDarePityMe: Neko Zombie angrily shoves off any and all attempts at the Guest displaying sympathy, seeing it as pity. [[spoiler:He eventually relents somewhat after being gifted the Guest's hankerchief, which he ties around his neck.]]
78	* FearOfThunder: This is because it was during a thunder/lightning storm that ''someone'' stitched him up.
79	* HiddenDepths: Gregory very much wants you to think that he's dangerous and violent, but he's really only hostile to Gregory most of the time. Neko Zombie is actually a thoughtful and conscientious person, if somber and depressed about his lot in life.
80	* HistoricalInJoke: The name "Jack Ketch", which is on his shirt, belonged to an infamous executioner under King Charles II.
81	* KillItWithFire: How he destroys the hotel and tries to kill Gregory. [[spoiler:It doesn't work because of the Second Guest's hesitation.]]
82	* ObfuscatingStupidity: Around Gregory and the other residents, he acts like a fussy, starving child who can't keep his hands -- or his teeth -- to himself. Partly so they don't suspect he's helping the Guests, partly just so he can antagonize Gregory.
83	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Averted, though scary-looking and a little snappy, Neko Zombie is one of the few genuinely nice characters in the series.
84	* SweetTooth: In the game, it's revealed that Neko's favorite food is chocolate. Giving him chocolate has a decent chance of him giving you an Angel Herb in return. If you approach him while he's in a hunger craze and he steals an item from you, he will always prioritize the chocolate bar.
85
86	!!Lost Doll
87	!!!Voiced by: Naoko Matsui (Japanese); Angie Beers (TV Series), Carol-Anne Day (Video Game) (English)
88
89	A sad-looking little girl who continuously sobs because of her lost doll. Unbeknownst to her, she actually ''is'' the doll she cries for, which manifests itself as a blue nasty face on the back of her head.
90	----
91	* AbhorrentAdmirer: In the manga, she jump scares Tooru, only to find him cute, [[{{Glomp}} hug him hard]], and freak him out.
92	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: The first two seasons, her story has no conclusion and she never finds out where her doll is, [[spoiler: In "The Last Train" she finds out the truth about herself via TalkingToThemself, and in "The Bloody Karte" she seems to be co-existing with her evil side in the last episode.]]
93	* CreepyChild: At first glance, she's a rather unsettling young girl that's always sobbing.
94	* CreepyDoll: If someone riles her up by mentioning that doll she's looking for, she swiftly turns into said doll and attacks.
95	* DramaticIrony: One side will always pitifully look for her doll, unaware that she is the doll.
96	* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Cutting her strings seems to only be a temporary measure, as she appears in all the seasons.]]
97	* PowerFloats: For some reason when she switches to her evil side.[[spoiler: It's because she's suspended and controlled by some unknown force with string.]]
98	* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Implied in ''The Last Train''
99	* WeaksauceWeakness:[[spoiler: Cutting the strings that make her fly seemingly kills her.]]
100
101	!!Hell's Chef
102	!!!Voiced by: Ryuzaburo Otomo (Japanese); Byron Close (English)
103
104	A dangerously prideful chef of the house who makes tasty (but dangerous, and dubiously made) cuisine. He seems to be constantly angry, and kills those who mess with or insult his dishes.
105	----
106	* AxCrazy: Don't expect to last long if you refuse to eat his cooking.
107	* BerserkButton: '''NO SMOKING!'''
108	* {{BFS}}: It's a knife, but it's so big that it's basically a sword.
109	* BunnyEarsLawyer: For all his questionable methods and angry tendencies, his food is usually portrayed as tasting REALLY good. In the manga, for example Tooru is initially not confident in the food, but states it delicious, to which Hell's Chef goes on a lecture about how taste and presentation are two different things, and requests that Tooru eat a Mushroom in his salad, which is revealed to cause paralysis.
110	* DumbassHasAPoint: The way he sees it, you can only be spared for your foolishness or smoking habits if you ''compliment the hell'' out of his prepared meals. Tooru Takenozuka from the manga, literally had no idea ''how close'' he was to being carved up.
111	* {{Golem}}: He's actually a golem made of candle wax, and the flame atop his head is what gives him life.
112	* KickTheDog: Him [[WouldHitAGirl attacking Catherine]] because she was trying to woo him is just dickish even for him.
113	* LethalChef: Twice over, in fact! He can kill you with the ingredients that he uses, or if pissed off, cleave you with his knife.
114	* {{Pride}}: Cannot receive criticism, and only ever eats his own cooking.
115	* WeaksauceWeakness: Gusts of air will blow out the flame on his head, causing him to stop moving.
116
117	!!Nurse Catherine
118	!!!Voiced by: Ayana Inoue (Japanese); Elinor Holt (English)
119
120	A lizard woman who loves to draw blood with an over-sized syringe. Catherine is a lonely woman who desires someone to love, but her fascination with drawing blood, coupled with somewhat of a temper, makes everyone uncomfortable around her.
121	-----
122	* AmbiguouslyBi: Despite a clear attraction to men, she seems just as excited to draw blood from the Second Guest (who was clearly stated to be female), and it's obvious she considers blood-drawing a sexual activity.
123	* DeadlyDoctor: She's supposed to be the doctor of Gregory House, but no-one's seen her do anything but drawing blood.
124	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: When she slowly draws blood, she moans suggestively; and her draining Gregory in season two of his blood, with him pleading for her to stop is reminiscent of a rape.
125	* TheDragon: Seems to be this to Gregory normally.
126	* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: She always carries a syringe taller than her, and has plenty of backup ones in her office.
127	* IfICantHaveYou: Has shades of this in ''The Bloody Karte,'' such as when [[spoiler:she kills Haniwa Salaryman after he announces his wife wants to get back together with him.]]
128	* {{Yandere}}: If anyone messes with her feelings of love, they get the needle in their head.
129
130	!!Mummy Dog
131	!!!Voiced by: Natsumi Sakura (Japanese); Sean Broadhurst (TV Series), Brett Bauer (Video Game) (English)
132
133	A young puppy with an axe lodged in his head, not that he knows its there. Wide-eyed and naïve, Mummy Dog is extremely cheerful towards everyone.
134	-----
135	* AdaptationalVillainy: Administers a poison pill to you, should you get caught by him after stealing his soul in the game. He's likely going off of his father's advice about medicine, which isn't all that sound.
136	* CheerfulChild: Quite enthusiastic about everything, despite his painful situation.
137	* ChildrenAreInnocent: One of the only residents who isn't consciously malicious.
138	* FailedASpotCheck: Has an ax in his head, which he doesn't seem to acknowledge. He knows he has head-aches, but thinks he just inherited them from his dad. He also doesn't see that his father has a sword lodged in his skull.
139	* GenerationXerox: Aside from the axe and clothes, he looks exactly like Mummy Papa.
140	* ObliviouslyEvil: In the videogame. He's only trying to help the Guest, but he'll get in their way and subject them to Horror Shows due to the medicine he tries to give you.
141
142	!!Mummy Papa
143	!!!Voiced by: Hitoshi Takagi (Japanese); Jonathan Love (TV Series), Dan Gascon (Video Game) (English)
144
145	Father of Mummy Dog, Mummy Papa has a sword in his head, is just like his son. Easygoing and calm.
146	----
147	* AdaptationalVillainy: In the game, well, sort of. He refuses to give up his soul and gives you a poison pill in his Horror Show... But he states that the soul makes him feel less sick, and he thinks that giving you the pill will make ''you'' feel better. So, he's not being ''intentionally'' malicious.
148	* ButtMonkey: Slightly, but it's there. In Bloody Karte, for instance, he's stabbed in the head by Musha Dokuro because he was in a wall behind a painting the ghost attacked with a spear.
149	* FailedASpotCheck: Has an Arabian sword in his head... like his son, he doesn't know it's there. Despite constant splitting headaches. He also doesn't notice his son has an ax lodged in his skull.
150	* {{Hypochondria}}: He never catches on to the sword in his head, and will spend most of his time talking about his injuries and illnesses (most of which are unrelated to the sword issue). He and his son visit Catherine a lot in the game as a result.
151	* ObliviouslyEvil: His horror show in Soul Collector is him giving you a giant poison pill in the hopes that it will make you feel better.
152
153	!!Judgment Boy
154	!!!Voiced by: Naochika Hayashida (Japanese); Brendan Hunter (TV Series), Sean Broadhurst (Video Game) (English)
155
156	A strange-looking puppet/scale-like character who wanders about the hotel on a mounted track in the ceiling, He forces those he meets to answer his questions, usually involving a moral dilemma, and almost always chooses the more terrible answer, regardless of the individuals answer.
157	-----
158	* AdaptationalHeroism: In the videogame, while not being overtly heroic, he doesn't foist a question on the player character like he does in the show (preferring instead that they have something with them for the judgment to happen), and is way more liable to drop the dollar sign if you answer his question correctly, giving you his soul as a prize. He's also one of the only hotel guests that doesn't chase the player and remains neutral throughout.
159	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: On top of this, he's also a lot less creepy and intimidating in the game due to the change of voice actor, coming across as one of the friendlier and more cheerful characters in the hotel. Even the song he sings to himself is less creepy than the nursery rhyme-like tune he sings in the series.
160	* CatchPhrase:
161	** "Do you know / Who I am? / They call me / Judgment Boy!"
162	** In the video game, it's changed to "~Do you know my naaaaame?~"
163	** "JUDGMENT now!"
164	* HellIsThatNoise: The grinding, clanking noises he makes when moving about and spinning round.
165	** In the series his appearances are signaled by a deep, unsettling bass noise, seemingly caused by the glowing money and love symbols he keeps in his arm cages, and his creepy nursery rhyme he sings to himself.
166	* InsaneTrollLogic: Perhaps not outright ''insane'' logic, but the scenarios he presents and the consequences of the choices made don't necessarily have to happen the way he tells them. Then again, in most cases he's reminding the Guests of things that already happened.
167	* LargeHam: "JUUUUUDGMENT!!!!"
168	* SadisticChoice: His purpose to to present these to the Guest. ''Hopefully'' they're just hypothetical, although it's sometimes implied they aren't.
169	** Averted for the game, where his questions are on the characters you've met.
170	** Also Averted in ''The Last Train'', where after delivering one of his usual judgements, [[SpannerInTheWorks Gregory]] gives a RousingSpeech [[ItMakesSenseInContext to the train]] convincing it to TakeAThirdOption and just charge straight ahead off the rails.
171
172	!!Cactus Gunman
173	!!!Voiced by: Yoshiyuki Kono (Japanese); Roger Rhodes (English)
174
175	A cactus cowboy who is always looking for a duel, but is actually very cowardly when danger presents itself. Despite being armed with weapons, he almost always misses his mark, no matter how close he is to the target.
176	----
177	* AbhorrentAdmirer: He gains a crush on the Second Guest, but she obviously doesn't reciprocate.
178	* AllThereInTheManual: Some sources claim that he was the leader of a failed revolution in life, and that his fervor didn't make up for the fact that he couldn't shoot anything.
179	* AloofBigBrother: At least to his sister...
180	* ATeamFiring: He ''very'' seldom hits what he aims at. Supposedly he managed to shoot a target once in his life. And he ''almost always'' hits Gregory.
181	* CactusPerson: He's a humanoid cactus associated with Wild West themes.
182	* CasanovaWannabe: He tries his best to hit on the Second Guest, to no avail. In the game, he'll also be enamoured with the player should they be female.
183	* TheGunslinger: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] He's a ''terrible'' shot. [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]] in ''Soul Collector'' where his Horror Show has him react with panic when he ''actually hits something.''
184	* {{Yandere}}: He's very much obsessed with the Second Guest, despite her obvious refusal of his feelings.
185
186	!!TV Fish
187
188	A ghost fish with a TV head that swims through the walls of the house while playing a strange tune, its screen can display various images, such as memories and surveillance footage.
189	----
190	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Continuously shows the second Guest footage of Gregory's conversation with his Mother, which while helpful, makes her mad enough to hit it.
191	* TheVoiceless: Because it's not anthropomorphic.
192
193	!!Public Phone
194	!!!Voiced by: Hiroaki Ishikawa (Japanese); Steve Olson (English)
195
196	A red phone with feet that lays in public, tricking people into paying him lots of money to use, only to run off once his ruse is found out.
197	----
198	* ConArtist: Tricks people into thinking they can call with him in order to get their cash.
199	* JerkAss: Is rude to both Gregory and the first guest.
200	* LaserGuidedKarma: Impersonates Gregory Mama to steal money from Gregory, only to incite her wrath for impersonating her.
201
202	!!Prompters
203
204	Mysterious, darkly dressed characters that do various odd jobs around Gregory House.
205	----
206	* AllThereInTheManual: Twin stage hands who aren't talking to each other.
207	* TheFaceless: Their faces are too shadowed to be seen.
208	* TheVoiceless: They never speak. They just work.
209
210	!!Gregory Mama
211	!!!Voiced by: Shoka (Japanese); Michelle Armeneau (English)
212
213	Gregory's mother, for who he grabs souls for to keep up her youthful appearance. She is actually just as unsightly as her son, who she abuses constantly. She is a powerful sorceress, which combined with her HairTriggerTemper and insatiable desire for souls, make her terrifying when upset.
214	----
215	* AbusiveParents: It's implied that she physically abused Gregory as a child and still uses his fear of her to get him to do what she wants.
216	* BigBad: In the game, you directly battle her.
217	* EvilMatriarch: An abusive mother figure who rules over her son and uses him to harvest souls for her own purposes, and no father in sight.
218	* GreaterScopeVillain: Gregory may be doing all the legwork, but Mama is why he's stealing souls from people.
219	* LaserGuidedKarma: In both Season 2 and ''Soul Collector''. In Season 2 [[spoiler: she gets devoured by Trap Mouse.]] In ''Soul Collector'', the player gets to fight her directly [[spoiler: and trick her into blasting open the door to reality.]]
220	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In the game [[spoiler: she uses her own fireballs to help the guest escape from the hotel.]]
221	* VainSorceress: Subverted in that she's not beautiful at all, she just ''considers'' herself beautiful. She maintains that consuming Lost Souls keeps her "good looks", but she doesn't change at all after doing so.
222	* WickedWitch: She has a very clear "witch" aesthetic to her design.
223	* YouDirtyRat: She is [[AbusiveParents abusive to Gregory in more ways than one,]] [[GreaterScopeVillain is the reason Gregory is keeping guests in the hotel]] and as for why she's eating souls? [[ItsAllAboutMe To make herself look young again.]] She makes Gregory ([[PetTheDog Who has at least a few nice moments.]]) [[EvilerThanThou look tame in comparison.]]
224
225	!!Clock Master & My Son
226	!!!Voiced by: Jin Yamanoi (Clock Master), Maiko Ito (My Son) (Japanese); Jonathan Love (Clock Master, TV Series), Zane Sampson (Clock Master, Video Game), Mike Thiessen (My Son, TV Series), Brett Bauer (My Son, Video Game) (English)
227
228	A time-controlling father and son who fix clocks in Gregory House.
229	----
230	* AlcoholicDad: Clock Master is a dad who spends a lot of time drinking at the bar in the game, due to his shame at no longer being good at controlling time in his old age.
231	* CatchPhrase: "TIME IS MONEY!!"
232	* CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption: To get their Soul, you basically have to steal a prized gift from My Son, make his father fly into a rage and make him throw himself out of whack so he doesn't come when My Son yells for him to get you, and extort the soul out of My Son so he can fix his dad. Slightly mitigated by the the fact that, you know, they're keeping a Lost Soul from passing on.
233	* FeelingTheirAge: In the game, Clock Master even feels it in his own Horror Show as straining his time powers causes his wind-up key to pop out, leaving him unconscious until he's repaired. This is also how you get the Lost Souls that he and My Son carry, as causing him to fly off the handle without My Son being around to pop his key back in leaves My Son vulnerable to getting the Soul extorted out of him.
234	* OnlySaneMan: While initially a little bit rude to the First Guest, they eventually do agree to at least try and help him out of Gregory House. And in the game, Clock Master is really civil and never attacks you until he finds out you stole My Son's screwdriver and even then, he (and, by proxy, My Son) can't even damage you with their Horror Show.
235	* PapaWolf: When Clock Master finds you stole something from My Son, he goes absolutely nuts and chases you though the halls until he strains his time control powers too much.
236	* SchmuckBait: You can steal My Son's screwdriver without talking to Clock Master, but then My Son will just call his dad to him from anywhere in the grounds when he sees his screwdriver. You're then due for a Horror Show that may send you back/forward in time by 6-8 hours.
237	* TimeMaster: Clock Master's claim to fame is that he can stop time completely... well, he could do it when he was younger. If he tries it now, he is very likely to knock himself out.
238	* TooDumbToLive: Clock Master eats poisonous peanuts in ''The Last Train'', and eats them again in the same episode at the very end because he liked the taste.
239	* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Clock Master's son is literally named "My Son", for who knows what reason.
240
241	!!Frog Fortune-Teller
242	!!!Voiced by: Katsumi Suzuki (Japanese); Meredith Taylor-Parry (TV Series), Michelle Armeneau (Video Game) (English)
243
244	An old frog woman who has a habit of appearing and disappearing at will to tell passerby their futures, sometimes for a price, sometimes for free.
245	----
246	* CoolOldLady: She seems generally kind, if a tad mysterious, and tells predictions to the First and Second Guest involving their predicaments. Compare that to when she made predictions for Gregory (who was too cynical to heed her) and Catherine (who she extorted, and didn't tell the entire fortune to).
247	* FortuneTeller: It's in her name.
248	* SavePoint: In the [=PS2=] game.
249	* VerbalTic: In the video game she lets out a low "ribbit" after every sentence, it's even in the save game text boxes.
250	* YouCantFightFate: "Never try to argue with fate..."
251
252	!!Toilet Baby
253	!!!Voiced by: Satsuki Yukino (Japanese)

256	----
257	* AmbiguousGender: Until Gregory talks about it, you'd have no idea if Toilet Baby is a girl or a boy.
258	* TheCameo: Appears in ''The Second Guest'' for a few seconds behind Gregory.
259	* WoundedGazelleGambit: Does this to drag people into its toilet.
260
261	!!Roulette Boy
262	!!!Voiced by: Yoko Asada (Japanese); Mariette Sluyter (English)
263
264	A red-skinned boy with a board game spinner on his head. He's always literally drooling in anticipation for another game, yelling at people to spin his spinner. Though his game tends to have traps on unlucky spaces, he really is just an overtly playful kid and is a good sport when he loses.
265	----
266	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Has red skin.
267	* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He may represent the uncertainty/fear of the future and where it's going. As in ''The Last Train'' he disappears once Gregory reveals he does know where he's going, and in ''Another World'' his game revolves around Tooru's age and what will happen in his future.
268	* CatchPhrase: "SPIN ME!" as well as "HURRY UP AND SPIN ME!"
269	* CasinoPark: What his room turns into when players have what he needs for them to play.
270	* GracefulLoser: When you win, he gladly hands over his Soul to you. It seems that afterwards, he genuinely just wants you to play with him again for his Horror Show, and you're just EXTREMELY unlucky.
271	* RealityWarper: He can make doors appear and disappear, drops anvils out of nowhere, cause explosions, and transport the players into a CasinoPark. It's much more prevalent in the Manga and "The Last Train".
272
273	!!Mutant Ducks
274	!!!Voiced by: Gerald Matthews (Duck 1), Lucas Gilbertson (Duck 2) (English)
275
276	A pair of ducks who run the Speed Mouse, a haphazard roller coaster in some unspecified location of the house.
277	----
278	* NoOSHACompliance: Their roller coaster is very poorly built, to say the least.
279	* TotallyRadical: In the English dub, one of them has a light amount of this kind of dialog.
280
281	!!Mirror Man
282	!!!Voiced by: Katsumi Suzuki (Japanese); Randall Wiebe (English)
283
284	A creature hidden behind the glass of a mirror its in. It lives in a mysterious mirror room under the house, and seems to have nothing else to do than show people their true selves.
285	----
286	* CoolCrown: Has a ruby-encrusted gold crown on top of him.
287	* MagicMirror: He claims to be one, showing the guest their "true self", but he might not be telling the truth.
288	* MirrorMonster: Somewhat literally, as his eye can be seen behind the glass of the mirror and bleeds when it's broken,
289	* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: He claims he does, but it's hard to say if it's true.
290	** It's subtly hinted that it isn't, as the word "false" is written right above his casing.
291	* OnlySaneMan: To a degree, he reveals to the Guest that he lacks "substance" [[spoiler: that is his soul]] but is rather mean spirited when he shows the guest his "true self".
292	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has a single red eye that shows itself once the First Guest Breaks his glass.
293
294	!!Kinko and Inko
295	!!!Voiced by: Hiroaki Ishikawa (Japanese), Satsuki Yukino (Inko) (Japanese); Mike Shepherd (Kinko), Mariette Sluyter (Inko) (English)

297	A female toucan/parrot and a male safe in a secret room hidden in the Mirror room of the house. They protect something inside Kinko.
298	----
299	* {{Engrish}}: "Secret N'''o'''mber."
300	* OnlySaneMan: Both of them are actually pretty nice to the first guest. Kinko even [[spoiler: kept the first guest's soul safe until he found him again.]]
301	* RedAlert: Inko's job is to raise an alarm once someone gets close to Kinko. However she is liable to stop once she recognizes the first guest as Kinko's friend.
302	* SimpletonVoice: Kinko
303	* TrueCompanions: Even though she'd like other people to talk to, Inko admits that being with Kinko is better than being alone.
304	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Never seen after season one, despite contributing a big part to the first season.
305
306	!!Angel/Devil Dog
307	!!!Voiced by: Rei Sakuma (Japanese); Chris Simms (TV Series), Jennifer Bain (Video Game) (English)
308
309	Two sides of the same character, Angel Dog is the friendly side, offering aid and guidance, but as her more devious Devil Dog persona, she often explains to people other than who she's guiding specific details about her methods of guidance.
310	----
311	* TheInformant: In ''Soul Stealer'', she's implied to be the reason Neko Zombie knows so much about the other guests despite being stuck in his room most of the time.
312	* SitcomArchNemesis: The [=PS2=] game paints her as this to Gregory. She always mumbles about trying to defeat him, although she's not particularly on the player's side either.
313	* SplitPersonality: Not literally, as they seem to share memories and sense of self, but she switches between the two personas depending on her mood.
314
315	!!Dead Bodies
316	!!!Voiced by: Roger Rhodes (English)
317
318	Corpses that lie in the graveyard surrounding Gregory House, due to their decomposition, they are usually in need of new bodies to survive.
319	----
320	* BorderPatrol: [[GhostButler Assuming the front door isn't locked]], they're the main reason escaping through it won't work.
321	* LogicalWeakness: Being decomposing corpses, their bodies are fragile. This is why they want new ones.
322	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Alcohol.
323	* WeaksauceWeakness: Water and wind.
324
325	!!Judgment Boy Gold
326	!!!Voiced by: Naochika Hayashida (Japanese); Steve Olson (TV Series), Sean Broadhurst (Video Game) (English)
327
328	Boss of the Judgement Boys, Judgement Boy Gold trains new recruits so that they can pass their own judgments on others.
329	----
330	* LargeAndInCharge: The leader of the Judgment Boys, he's ''much'' bigger than they are.
331	* LargeHam: He chews the scenery quite hard, just like his subordinates.

334	!!!Voiced by: Masashi Hirose (Japanese), Mike Shepherd (TV Series), Jonathan Love (Video Game) (English)
335
336	The grim reaper, who aids lost souls and those who have become prisoners of Gregory House. A very nice individual, He aids the Guests, and even Gregory at one point.
337	----
338	* BigGood: In the game. He's totally in the Guest's corner, heals their minds when spoken to, and only asks for them to help the trapped Lost Souls in the House before helping the Guest escape because he himself can't get inside to do it.
339	* BrooklynRage: Not full of rage mind you, but speaks in a joisey accent in the videogame.
340	* DontFearTheReaper: One of the only two characters (besides Neko Zombie in the [=PS2=] game) who's genuinely kind to the Guest.
341	* TheGrimReaper: One of the nicer depictions, but it's rather telling that his greeting in the game is basically telling the Guest to [[DrivenToSuicide just give up]] and throw away their worries. Of course considering that the Guest was a disembodied soul at the time [[NiceGuy he was probably trying to ease them into passing on.]]
342	* NiceGuy: He's even nice to ''Gregory'' who has caused all of this trouble and chaos.
343	* ShoutOut: He wears the Swedish flag as a hat as a reference to Ingmar Bergman, director of the famous movie ''Film/TheSeventhSeal'' which portrayed Death playing chess.
344	* TookALevelInJerkass: Though it was a light level. In the video game he seems less patient and a little rough towards the player character than in the cartoon.
345
346	!!Stephen Haniwa Salaryman
347	!!!Voiced by: Matsuo Matsuo (Japanese); Ben Jeffery (English)
348
349	A Clay statue salary man who is completely wrapped up in his work. Needless to say, he's not all too happy with his life.
350	----
351	* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Canon ''very'' heavily suggests [[spoiler:that he is what the First Guest has become.]]
352	* TheEeyore: A very justified example given what has happened to him and how much he works. Its much more prevalent in ''The Bloody Karte''.
353	* EmptyShell: What the monotony of his job has turned him into.
354	* RogueProtagonist: [[spoiler:He's implied to be what the first guest becomes]].
355	* {{Salaryman}}: [[MeaningfulName It's in his name]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin for a reason, you know]].

361	----
362	* BrattyHalfPint: Hates boredom, so he does anything for a laugh.
363	* CreepyChild: A bit. One could be forgiven for thinking he's about to pull some spooky antics, considering the setting.
364	* HotelHellion: This is what he actually is. Not really malicious, but not polite either.
365	* KarmaHoudini: He always gets away with his actions; Gregory and Mama ''want'' to punish him, but he manages to either get away or play innocent.
366	* PetTheDog: In the game, Neko Zombie mentions how James at least feeds him everyday unlike Gregory who'd gladly let him starve.
367	* YouDirtyRat: Is a trouble-maker who will cause trouble for anyone cause he feels like it.
368

382	----
383	* CovertPervert: Most of the desires he reveals are rather romantic in nature, and that excites him greatly.
384	* OnlySaneMan: Though his shtick is rather strange (and intrusive) He is actually a rather nice guy. In the manga, he's the one who makes Tooru confront his feelings about the girl that recently moved into Gregory House for example.
385	* PowerPerversionPotential: Exploits the hell out of his ability by looking at others desires, such as with Gregory.
386	* ThirdEye: Looking into it reveals your fantasies to both you... AND him.

391	Cactus Gunman's Sister. Much more talented at the cowboy business, she never-the-less looks up to her brother, though even she has her limits with him.
392	----
393	* ActionGirl: She's a much better cowboy than her older brother, and puts up a much better fight.
394	* CactusPerson: She's a humanoid cactus associated with Wild West themes.
395	* ImprobableAimingSkills: She is much, much more accurate than her brother. Cactus Girl only sticks with her lasso though.
396	* MurderTheHypotenuse: In ''The Second Guest,'' she's furious at the female guest for rejecting her brother, and believes Gregory to be her boyfriend... so she threatens to kill him if the guest doesn't date her brother.
397	* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: In the game, she very rarely leaves her room and will actually give you hints if you talk to her while she's in there.
398
399	!!Trap Mouse
400
401	A mechanical mouse whose ears form a very unnerving set of jaws on his head. He's used by Gregory to go after the Second Guest, but ends up attacking Gregory Mama because of James. Two more show up during ''The Last Train'' with an odd problem.
402	----

404	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: In the manga, they have some very odd ways of thinking.

407	* StarCrossedLovers: The Red and Blue eyed Trap Mice from ''The Last Train'', who desperately want to be together but know that their instincts will cause them to kill each other if they get close. [[spoiler: Gregory convinces them to at least try and their fears come true, but because they're mechanical [[EarnYourHappyEnding their heads live on and are free from their instincts in a trash pile together.]]]]
408	* TrackingDevice: How it finds its target; it is shaped like a gem-encrusted brooch or buckle.
409
410	!!Hell's Taxi

412
413	A living taxi that only ever goes to Gregory House.
414	----
415	* TheTaxi: A very traditional looking one, albeit with a face.
416	* ObliviouslyEvil: It really is just doing its job, and doesn't see the harm in going back to Gregory House.
417
418	!!Poor Conductor
419	!!!Voiced by: Shoto Kashii (Japanese)
420
421	A pompous, but sad, character with a record player for a head. He pretends that the music on the record is his own original work and forces those he thinks are "ignorant" of his musical genius to be transported onto the record to be killed by the record player's needle.
422	----
423	* ButtMonkey: [[AssholeVictim Though it isn't entirely undeserved...]]
424	* DreadfulMusician: It's not so much that the music he plays is bad, but his actual singing voice is terribly annoying. This of course prompts the Dead Bodies in the graveyard to chuck bottles and garbage at him, and later on, gets him attacked by crows.
425	* RealityWarper: Can teleport those who listen to the record he plays into one of its grooves to be killed by the needle.
426	* RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes are red and he will murder you if he thinks you don't like his music.

440	----
441	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: True, his rituals are completely ineffective and are stated to be for fun by Death, but he very nearly entrapped the second guest in Gregory House by burning her body out of frustration. Also, AllThereInTheManual material paints him as a truly sinister and cruel figure.
442	* TearsOfBlood: When frustrated or upset.
443
444	!!Street Vendor
445
446	A kid who sells various foods to passengers of the lost train. Though, some of what he sells can be called into question.
447	----

450
451	!!Pig Gentleman

456	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: "I want you to serve me the most tender meat you have available!"
457	* JerkAss: He gets what's coming to him, though...
458	* TooDumbToLive: He outright calls Hell Chef's cooking "garbage" and throws it in his face demanding only his best. He hammers Chef's BerserkButton so hard that he switches into TranquilFury instead of UnstoppableRage and butchers him to make Gregory's meal.
459	* LetsMeetTheMeat: He's a pig, and Hell Chef ends up turning him into pork for insulting his cooking.
460
461	!!Mummy Mama
462
463	Mummy Dog's mom and Mummy Papa's Wife, who only appeared for a split second at the end of the episode she appears in.
464	----
465	* FailedASpotCheck: She has a ''plant'' that grows from ''her head''. Though the website implies that the reason she doesn't notice this is that the plant is draining her intelligence.
466
467	!!Musha Dokuro
468	!!!Voiced by: Issei Futamata (Japanese); Tommy James (English)
469
470	Undead samurai warriors who continue to act as faithful servants in death, but they seem to consider more or less anyone their lord.

472	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Their loyalty can change around in a heartbeat, depending on who beats them in a fight.
473	* ServantRace: They only seem to exist to serve their "lord", clinging to anyone who happens to pass by and swearing to serve them. They don't seem to be picky on who their lord is, though.

476
477	A passenger on the Last Train who is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
478	----
479	* BigEater: No one could possibly eat that many boxed lunches- oh, wait.
480	* LetsMeetTheMeat: Of a sort. He's being fattened up for slaughter at Chicken Farm, not that he's aware of this.
481	* NiceGuy: He genuinely wants to make people happy, but is too naive to think about how his job would do that.
482	* TooDumbToLive: Who would think just eating and sitting around when you're a chicken, and then going to a place called ''Chicken Farm'' is a good idea?
483
484	!!Bone Head
485
486	A skeletal traveler looking for the bones of a legendary dragon that his wife died trying to find.

492
493	!!Egypetit
