5	!!Klaymen
6	->'''Voiced by:''' Edward Schofield (English) Kōsuke Okano (Japanese)
7	->''"Word."''
8	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/klaymen_2.jpg]]
9	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
10	Our hero, a childlike clay man who must solve the puzzles of the Neverhood if he wants to get anywhere.
11	----
12	* CuteMute: He counts, having a sort of childlike demeanor along with being a HeroicMime. [[spoiler:He averts this in both endings by [[SuddenlyVoiced actually speaking]].]]
13	* DitzyGenius: He's a little slow, but he's got the smarts to solve the Neverhood's puzzles.
14	* ExpressiveAccessory: The little brown thing on the top of his head sometimes moves along with Klaymen's emotions and even twitches independently of him.
15	* HeroicMime: He doesn't talk [[spoiler:(unless you finish the game)]] and he's the inadvertent savior of the Neverhood.
16	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: In ''Skullmonkeys'', there is a cutscene where a Ynt tricks Klaymen into putting his arm into a hole, and then [[StrippedToTheBone strips that arm to the bone]]. Klaymen's response? [[spoiler:"Cool!"]]
17	* MeaningfulName: Klaymen. Clay man.
18	* ProtagonistWithoutAPast: He wakes up in a mysterious room. While the Hall of Records mentions every other character, there's no mention of Klaymen. [[spoiler:Willie's tapes show that prior to Klaymen waking up in the room, he had been just created from one of Hoborg's seeds.]]
19	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: At one point during the weasel chase.
20	* SuddenlySpeaking: [[spoiler:In both endings, he actually speaks.]] He talks more in ''Skullmonkeys'' as well.
21	* TreasureChestCavity: Klaymen can press a button on his torso to open it up. He can store items inside through there.
22	* VagueAge: Is he a child, or an adult? [[spoiler:Looking through Willie's tapes shows Klaymen was born looking the way he does now, but it's ambiguous as to whether Klaymen was BornAsAnAdult and just has a childlike mentality, or if he really is a child and just has a large lumbering body.]]
23	* VocalDissonance: [[spoiler:His voice is very normal-sounding when contrasted with both his large, clumsy body and everyone else's voice (Hoborg and Bil have very deep voices, Willie's voice is scratchy and nasal while Klogg's voice is high and haughty), to the point where it's almost a little comical.]]
24	** [[spoiler:Adding onto this, his voice in the Japanese translation is unexpectedly deep.]]
25
26	!!Klogg/Kloggmonkey
27	->'''Voiced by:''' [[Creator/DougTenNapel Douglas TenNapel]] (English) Creator/ToruFurusawa (Japanese)
28	->''"Now, Hoborg, we shall see who rules this world!"''
29	[[quoteright:192:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/klogg.png]]
30	[[caption-width-right:192:]]
31	The evil king of the Neverhood. Hoborg's first living creation, who grew envious of the one thing he could not have-- Hoborg's crown. If you want to stop him, you'll have to get to his castle.
32	----
33	* BigBad: The story's conflict is all caused by him.
34	* BigOlUnibrow: His large brows are connected together.
35	* TheCorrupter: In a last-ditch effort to try and keep his status as the Neverhood's king, [[spoiler:he attempts to convince Klaymen to [[WeCanRuleTogether put on the crown]] as a LastSecondEndingChoice.]]
36	* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: The guys in the studio pitched it up so he'd sound like an evil crusty little guy.
37	* EvilMakesYouUgly: As a direct result of Klogg's greed for the crown, [[spoiler:and Klaymen's greed if the player chooses so,]] he is cursed with a hideous appearance to match his personality.
38	* EvilOverlord: Manages to be this despite only having a few monsters under his thrall. [[spoiler:Is this moreso in ''Skullmonkeys'' where he is able to trick the skullmonkeys into serving him.]]
39	* FauxAffablyEvil: Once you finally meet him, he politely introduces himself to you and tells you he's willing to let you rule "his" kingdom as long as you put on the crown. [[spoiler:It's all an act to manipulate Klaymen into going along with it, and he drops it as soon as he realizes Klaymen wants to revive Hoborg instead.]]
40	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:His own cannon shoots him in the face, blowing him off the Neverhood for good. For bonus points, it's the cannon he used to kill Bil and Willie.]]
41	* KickTheDog: If you go back to the Nursery after [[spoiler:Willie falls off the Neverhood, Klogg has a message waiting for you. "Ding Dong, The Willie's Dead!"]]
42	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:In ''Skullmonkeys''. To drive the point home, there's even a song about it.]]
43	* LargeHam: His voice is high, hoity-toity, and at times even screechy. He's prone to taking weird {{Dramatic Pause}}s in the middle of his sentences, and has a slightly flamboyant way of speaking.
44	* MeaningfulName: Klogg. Which is pronounced like "clog." Hoborg was ''going'' to create more friends for him and Klogg, but since Klogg [[spoiler:stole Hoborg's crown, which he needed to be alive and moving]], all further creations by Hoborg are stopped up.
45	* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:He is shot out of the Neverhood and into the void below.]] ''VideoGame/{{Skullmonkeys}}'' later reveals [[spoiler:this didn't kill him, as he kept falling until he landed on the planet Idznak.]]
46	* OrcusOnHisThrone: Klogg mostly hangs out in the castle, and only intervenes indirectly by calling forth the Clockwork Beast and remote controlling the Cannon once you use [[GiantRobot Robot Bil]] against him.
47	* PsychoPrototype: [[spoiler:It turns out that he was one of Hoborg's creations who stole the crown for himself. As Willie's story shows, he looked just like Klaymen did before the crown transformed him.]]
48	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Downplayed. His color scheme consists primarily of red and dark brown, but the dark brown is pretty close to black.
49	* SatanicArchetype: One of the first creations of a divine being, ended up corrupting himself via his own pride and envy, and rebelled against his creator in an attempt to take his world. Though unlike Satan, Klogg was actually successful in dethroning his creator.
50	* SelfDisposingVillain: He is shot off the Neverhood by the cannon after accidentally stepping on its remote while trying to stab Hoborg.
51	* SmugSnake: Both before and after he takes the crown from Hoborg and puts it on, he taunts him and [[EvilGloating gloats about it]]. He also comes off as very self-aggrandizing in his interactions with Klaymen. His downfall is ultimately that he fails to get rid of Klaymen at every step, and trying a last minute WeCanRuleTogether gambit bites him in both endings - either Klaymen gives the crown back to Hoborg, or puts it on himself and then decides ICanRuleAlone and lays Klogg out.
52	* SpikesOfVillainy: Many parts of Klogg are sharp and angular, such as the spike on top of his head, his shoulder sleeves, and his claws.
53	* VillainousBreakdown: When he finally comes face to face with Klaymen, he attempts to sweet-talk him into putting on the crown, with the promise that they can rule the Neverhood together. Once it's clear that Klaymen intends to return the crown to its rightful owner, Klogg goes ballistic and attempts to kill Hoborg just so he can be king.
54	-->'''Klogg:''' DIE, YOU OLD FOOL!
55	* UnexplainedRecovery: In the (probably non-canon) GaidenGame ''Klaymen Gun-Hockey'', Klogg returns from [[spoiler:being blasted off the Neverhood]] to [[GoKartingWithBowser challenge the cast to a game of air hockey played with guns.]]
56	* WeCanRuleTogether: His offer towards Klaymen.
57	-->'''Klogg:''' Everything you see here is ''mine'' to do with as I so desire! And I desire for all of this to be yours to rule! [[TheCorrupter All you have to do is wear the adornment of a king! This! The Neverhood crown!]] You know where this baby goes, so let us make our decision, shall we?
58
59	!!Willie Trombone
60	->'''Voiced by:''' Mark Lorenzen
61	->''"Um... hello! Me Willie. Me Willie Trombone!"''
62	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/willie_5.jpg]]
63	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
64	The fourth son of Ottoborg, who helps Klaymen throughout his adventure via hints in the Nursery. He knows a lot about the Neverhood and provides the information needed to help take down Klogg.
65	----
66	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Willie is very odd, to say the least.
67	* CowardlyLion: He is terrified of Klogg (for good reason), but he still manages to give Klaymen the tools he needs to defeat him.
68	* DemotedToExtra: In ''The Neverhood'', he's a prominent member of the main cast. In ''Skullmonkeys'', he only appears in the first and last cutscenes and as a power-up.
69	* TheDitz: Has some moments, like accidentally turning his back to the camera during his tapes (after falling from the top of the screen), and knocking himself out while running around in panic when the Clockwork Beast shows up.
70	* ExtremeOmnivore: He eats sandwiches, Weasel corpses and chunks of machinery.
71	* TheFool: Willie might not be the sharpest crayon in the box, but he's very friendly and manages to avoid the fate four of his brothers met in the Hall of Records.
72	* MrExposition: Find his tapes, and he'll tell you the (abridged) story of the Neverhood's creation, how Klogg came into power and how Klaymen came into being.
73	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: For the most part, he's pretty ditzy and low-key. That being said, he begins to panic once Klogg releases the Clockwork Beast.
74	-->''Clockwork Beast, Clockwork Beast! We're doomed!''
75	* OohMeAccentsSlipping: When the attack of the Clockwork Beast begins, he briefly drops his scratchy SimpletonVoice and begins to speak in a high-pitched voice.
76	* SimpletonVoice: His voice is low and scratchy, but also a little nasally.
77	* SpannerInTheWorks: He is the one who ultimately kickstarts Klogg's downfall [[spoiler:by planting the Life Seed in the Nursery, where it would grow into Klaymen.]]
78	* ThirdPersonPerson: It's a little inconsistent on what self-referential pronouns Willie uses. While narrating his story, he refers to himself in the third person. In his letters, he uses first-person pronouns. Other times, he swaps out "I" for "me."
79	* TooDumbToFool: A story in the Hall of Records tells a tale about Willie encountering a group of Victoids. They assume Willie is not a fool and attempt to try to trick him so they can devour him. Unfortunately, Willie is "a fool among fools", and their tricks fall flat. In fact, the Victoids spent so much time trying to futilely fool Willie that Bil arrives in time to save him.
80	* {{Troll}}: Drops a flowerpot on Klaymen's head for no rhyme or reason.
81	* VocalDissonance: His voice in the Japanese version is high and soft. It still has that raspy quality, but still...
82	* WhamLine: The last tape of his you find, particularly his cheerful "Happy Birthday!" [[spoiler: It reveals that he was the one who created you.]]
83	* YouNoTakeCandle: This is how Willie speaks.
84
85	!!Big Robot Bil
86	->'''Voiced by:''' Douglas [=TenNapel=]
87	->'''''"Meeee Bil."'''''
88	[[quoteright:340:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brb.jpg]]
89	[[caption-width-right:340:]]
90	A HumongousMecha created for building structures. Stuck in a hole by the time you find him, futilely trying to reach for his bear. Good friends with Willie.
91	----
92	* ArtificialIntelligence: Bil can be controlled and manipulated from the inside, but the first sign to the player that Bil is in fact sentient is when he moves the crane to reach for his beloved teddy bear. Klaymen sees Bil's levers moving by themselves and shrugs.
93	* BerserkButton: The Clockwork Beast destroying his teddy bear causes him to fly into a rage.
94	* CuteMachines: He's a friendly face who is attached to his teddy bear.
95	* CutscenePowerToTheMax: Until you reawaken him, he's stuck in a hole trying in vain to reach for his teddy bear, which is dangling from a crane. Once you do reawaken him in the cutscene, he's shown to be perfectly able to reach for the crane, turn it around and get the bear to him.
96	* GentleGiant: He's ultimately pretty nice for a giant robot, making friends with Willie and saving him from being eaten by Victoids.
97	* HulkSpeak: All Bil can say is "Meeee Bil."
98	* HumongousMecha: He's a gigantic robot.
99	* MoralityDial: Inside his chest cavity, there's a lever that can change his behavior from bad to good. In the Hall of Records, Hoborg theorizes that this was a clumsy attempt by Bil's creator to give him free will.
100	* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Bil has three arms.
101	* MyNaymeIs: Downplayed, it's spelled Bil, with a single L.
102	* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Unlike most of the characters (who are made from clay), he is made from metal.
103	* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: For some reason, Bil wears a necktie.
104
105	!!Hoborg
106	->'''Voiced by:''' Douglas [=TenNapel=]
107	->'''Willie:''' It all all started with Hoborg, a being who had to create, because... he had to.
108	[[quoteright:273:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hoborg.png]]
109	[[caption-width-right:273:]]
110	The true king of the Neverhood, and the sixth son of Quater. Your job is to rescue him.
111	----
112	* DistressedDude: He's trapped in his castle courtesy of Klogg.
113	* GodIsGood: Effectively the Neverhood's God, and he is portrayed as nothing but benevolent and mellow.
114	* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: His first creation steals his crown and attempts to stab him. What does Hoborg think of that? Well, all he has to say is this:
115	-->'''Hoborg:''' You know, I never really understood that guy.
116	* TheGoodKing: His name means "big heart" for a reason. When he first sees Klaymen after [[spoiler:getting freed, he thanks him for his rescue, literally makes him some new friends and brings back Willie and Bil.]]
117	* MeaningfulName: The Hall of Records explains his name means "big heart", and he is a kindhearted king who loves to create.
118	* NonHumanHead: While Klaymen, Willie and Klogg have expressive faces, Hoborg's face is a cube with a little hole carved into it, setting him apart as the world's creator.
119	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Klogg steals his crown, he asks this [[spoiler:before solidifying.]]
120	* PhysicalGod: He's capable of creating life.
121	* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:Without his crown, Hoborg can't move. Klogg remarks that he's now frozen solid.]]
122	* TooManyBelts: Hoborg doesn't just have one belt around his waist, he also has an extra one wrapped vertically over his chest that holds his chest together, keeping his guts from spilling out. That first belt being not a belt, but the gouge where he used some of his own base matter to save ''Willie Trombone'' and ''Big Robot Bil''. The second belt is that very same strip of base matter.
123	[[/folder]]

125	[[folder:Other Characters]]

142	A little purple bean-shaped creature that only appeared in a cutscene.
143	----
144	* CuteBruiser: He's literally a small creature with a hammer.
145	* MeaningfulName: His name's Hammerboy, since he has a hammer.
146
147	!!Rude Guy (or Redeye)
148	->'''Rude Guy:''' Oh it's you. Hi, go away!
149	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/go_away.png]]
150	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
151	A grumpy, rude tree with a red eye.
152	----
153	* {{Jerkass}}: Practically his only character trait.
154	* LeaveMeAlone: Most of his dialogues are just this.
155	* TheTreesHaveFaces: It's simple, he has one eye and can talk.
156
157	!!The Weasels
158	[[quoteright:259:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scorp8.png]]

160	Menacing creatures that attempt to eat Klaymen and Willie.
161	----
162	* CallASmeerpARabbit: They sure don't look like weasels.
163	* TheDreaded: They are both feared by Klaymen and Willie. Justified, since those things are out for their blood. Metaphorically speaking, anyway.
164	* FeedItABomb: How the player dispatches of the green Weasel.
165	* GreenAndMean: The green Weasel is mean and green, and it is bad!

177	* TheUnintelligible: They speak in squawks.
178	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: They pretty much vanish after retrieving the bear.
179
180	[[/folder]]
181	[[folder:Hall of Records Characters]]
182
183	!The Father
184	The all-powerful creator of existence and of Quater. Lives on the [[{{Heaven}} Other Side]] and rarely interacts with his universe.
185	----
186	* AllPowerfulBystander: Is overall very hands off with his universe, leaving most of the creation to the sons of his only creation. That said, it's implied that the life seeds come from the Father.
187	* GodIsGood: Gives his creations a lot of automation and free will, even if they frequently misuse it.
188
189	!Quater
190	The only creation of the Father. An extremely powerful being who acts as a mediator between Father and the rest of creation. He made seven sons to help him create the worlds to fill the universe, seven crowns for his sons to wear, and he also created a Hall of Records on each world.
191	----
192	* MessianicArchetype: Is roughly an equivalent to Jesus Christ, being the mediator between his all-powerful father and the rest all life.
193	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Probably one of the only truly reasonable people in the whole Neverhood universe. He is very wise and pretty good at settling conflicts.
194
195	!Seven Sons of Quater
196	!!General Tropes
197	* CastOfSnowflakes: Despite Quater being described as not being as good of a "manbuilder" like Father, he still manages to create seven kings that looked completely different from each other.
198	* CoolCrown: All of them have one, as it was gifted to them by Quater.
199	* TheGhost: With the exception of Hoborg, none of Quater's sons ever make it into the game aside from having some statues in their likeness.

201
202	!!Ogdilla

206	----
207	* GeniusLoci: Despite being a bunch of gas, he managed to tear himself apart to prevent a war between the Specks.
208	* TurtleIsland: During Ogdilla's travels, he picked up many particles from space. Those particles were the Specks, who reside upon his back.

213	The second son of Quater. Described as a failed duplicate of his father.
214	----
215	* CloneDegeneration: He was described as a failed clone of Quater. Bertbert mistakenly believed he was the real Quater, and attempted to create more sons just like his father had done. However, his creations experienced degeneration as the line went on and each of his generations became worse and worse. It got to the point that Uh Uh, the last in line of his generation, was a non-sentient lump.
216	-->''Just as everybody thought that the whole "each-generation-gets-worse" thing had finally turned around, Ehp's own creation came out looking like a pile of something badly burned, so he named it, "Uh Uh."\
217	Uh Uh was not alive, so it could not begat anything.''
218
219	!!Numeron

223	----
224	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While being prideful and bossy, he actually shows mercy towards Numby and Grace when he decides to blow up his world.
225	* NoahsStoryArc: Eventually Numeron grew fed up with the vile decadence of his world, and decided to blow it all up and (possibly?) start anew. He decided to spare his child Numby and Numby's wife, Grace from this fate. He led them to a treehouse where they were safe from the world being blown up. The two lived happily in their treehouse until they peacefully passed away.
226	* ThePerfectionist: Described as being obsessed with being sensible, correct, and following rules. He would rarely do anything without asking for Quater's instructions.

235	* GenkiGuy: [[InformedAttribute Described as such.]]

237	* GreaterScopeParagon: He created Willie and Big Robot Bil, two characters instrumental to the story of ''The Neverhood''. And yet, he never appears physically.

246	* UnusualEyebrows: His son had those as well.
247
248	!!Arven
249	[[quoteright:176:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arven.png]]
250	[[caption-width-right:176:]]
251	The seventh son of Quater. Described as quiet, serious, efficient and fast.
252	----
253	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Among the worlds he created, the planet Idznak is among them. Idznak is where ''Skullmonkeys'' takes place.
254	* TheStoic: He's serious if nothing else.
255	* SuperSpeed: He has this ability.
256	* {{Troll}}: Arven told everyone that the door of Burrntoowie is inaccessible because entering it would be under the death penalty. He only stated this to taunt people over its inaccessibility.

265	* TheClan: Bertbert had many generations (until Uh Uh was created.)
266	* CloneDegeneration: Bertbert mistakenly thinks he's the real Quater and attempted to create more sons just like his father did. However, his creations experienced degeneration as the line went on and each of his generations became worse and worse. It got to the point that Uh Uh, the last in line of his generation, was a lump that wasn't even alive.
267	* FlatCharacter: Most of his generations has little to no mention, aside from Bickback and Klee's story.
268
269	!!Bickback
270	The great-great-grandson of Bertbert, who has purple-green splotches all over his body.
271	----
272	* HappilyMarried: He wed a demure lady named Phyllis and they begat a child ever after.
273	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone When he realized what he had done to his brother Lytle]], he decided to sing a song about him.
274	* SmartJerkAndNiceMoron: Deconstructed, as he realized what he had done to his brother.
275
276	!!Klee
277	Feh's favorite son, who is honest and clever.
278	----
