In General
- Fantastic Racism: A good majority of the citizens aren't very welcoming to Anne at first, due to her being a human from another world. It takes a good season of meaningful interactions for them to get used to her, along with her friends Sasha and Marcy when they enter Wartwood. They are also not very fond of toads and newts as shown in "The Three Armies"; it doesn't help that the village's only toad is a Mayor Pain and the only newt is an uptight Caustic Critic.
- Promotion to Opening Titles: Toadie, Loggle, Chuck, Sylvia, Duckweed, and Stumpy are given spots in season 3's opening sequence.
- Training the Peaceful Villagers: Subverted. After reneging on reuniting with Beatrix and what remains of the toad army after their capture by King Andrias, Sasha and Grime initially intend to combat the robots attacking what they think is just a peaceful farming community with no wartime experience. However, the citizens of Wartwood proceed to show what happens to anyone or anything that messes with their village by almost completely curb-stomping the robots, without so much as a single actual weapon; Grime even comments that they're "deadlier than any soldier". Once all of the robots are defeated, Sasha rallies the people of Wartwood into La Résistance against the would-be Multiversal Conqueror.
Mayor Frodrick Toadstool

Voiced by: Stephen Root
The toad mayor of Wartwood.
- 0% Approval Rating: The people of Wartwood despise him, to the point where he steals their taxes to Toad Tower so he can afford to "buy their love" for his re-election campaign. He's so despised by the citizens of Wartwood that, when the election for mayor occurs in "Hop Popular", literally every single person in Wartwood votes for Hopediah. Unfortunately, Toadstool still wins, because Hop Pop didn't know the rest of the valley got a vote and didn't campaign outside of town. Although this changes in the second season, after Toadstool's Character Development, as the town comes to appreciate his (somewhat) reformed self.
- Ambiguously Gay: The show never explicitly states anything about it, but he and Toadie act less like just personal assistant and mayor and more as a sort of married couple, despite his mistreatment of Toadie. It's even shown that nine months after the girls leave Amphibia, he installs Toadie as the new mayor and stays by his side. Later on, series creator Matt Braly himself stated after the show's end that he and Toadie are actually in love with each other
- Arc Villain: He is essentially the main antagonist for the first half of season 1, being the most frequently responsible party behind the problems Anne and the Plantars face. His antagonism appears to be resolved in the season's penultimate episode, which fittingly ends with Grime finally arriving in Wartwood.
- Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: He does actually seem upset with the idea of Toadie possibly disappearing in "Snow Day".
- Bad Boss: He pushes Toadie around on a regular basis, making him do lots of extra work and even using him as a footstool. That being said, some later episodes, such as "Snow Day", show that he actually does care about him.Mayor Toadstool: (sadly) Possible goodbye, Toadie.
- Bald of Evil: He's one of the very few amphibians with no Non-Mammalian Hair.
- Beard of Evil: He has a small green tuft of beard on his chin, and he's sleazy and corrupt, if not outright evil.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: As he admits himself, the reason he undergoes Character Development is because he likes it when the town shows him genuine respect.
- Character Catchphrase: "Simmer down, now, simmer down."
- Character Development: By season 2, it's shown that he's come to genuinely care about Wartwood and its citizens to the point of being attached, with "Toad to Redemption" showing he's very reluctant to leave the town despite running Toad Tower being his dream job, and even uncharacteristically decides to fix pot holes in the town instead of embezzling the funds for a personal jacuzzi. The end of the episode highlights this by revealing Jacinda considers Toadstool too soft for the job of running Toad Tower, and ends up hiring Bog instead.
- Deep South: He has a Southern accent, and is generally a sleazy politician.Anne: He's like if the Monopoly Man had a baby with a piece of fried chicken.
Mayor Toadstool: [annoyed] That'd better be a compliment, Boonchuy. - A Dog Named "Cat": His first name is a portmanteau of "frog" and "Rodrick" despite being a toad.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He's already more of a Jerkass than a true villain, but "Snow Day" shows that he truly cares for Toadie (despite his abusive behavior towards him), saying an emotional "possible goodbye" to him.
- Fantastic Racism: He's a toad who looks down on frogs, is insulted that he even has to compete for mayor against Hop Pop, and says that a frog winning the vote over a toad would make headlines.
- Fat Bastard: He's largely built, even for a toad, and is extremely amoral.
- Formerly Fit: Acrofatic he is not, especially when chasing after a sprightly youngster like Sprig.Mayor Toadstool: (panting, out of breath) Oh boy, I gotta cut back on them cricket nuggets!
- Going Native: He seems to side with the frogs of Wartwood over Toad Tower, despite being a toad himself. This carries over into the second season, where he finds himself reluctant to leave Wartwood.
- Good Feels Good: Despite being a selfish, greedy bureaucrat, he admits that the positive reception he gets from actually helping out the town has made him soft. He even starts spending the town's money on actually improving things instead of embezzling it.
- Hereditary Republic: He and his family members have been the mayors of Wartwood for generations, running largely unopposed.
- Hidden Disdain Reveal: In "The Three Armies". When Anne tries to use Toadstool and Albus Duckweed as an example of how toads and newts can get along, they casually admit to disliking each other immensely, surprising Anne.
- It's All About Me: The only person Mayor Toadstool cares about is Mayor Toadstool.
- During season 2 though, things have started to change. He starts to think more about the town he's in, and at several points during the season, he defends the town, gaining their trust.
- Adding to this, another example is how he treats Toadie. He may order him to do questionable actions, but in the end, he cares for him. After all, Toadie passing out of fear of being alone without Toadstool after he moves to Toad Tower was the reason he decided to admit that he didn't want to go at all.
- During season 2 though, things have started to change. He starts to think more about the town he's in, and at several points during the season, he defends the town, gaining their trust.
- I Was Just Passing Through: he gives a variation of this as an excuse, likely to save face, when he saves some of Wartwood's citizens on his back while escaping Toad Tower in "Reunion".Mayor Toadstool: If y'all die, who'll I embezzle money from? Huh?
- Jerkass: He's a jerk to pretty much everyone, and only proves himself to be more unlikable with each appearance.
- Jerkass Has a Point: When Anne gets elected as the "Frog of the Year", Toadstool loudly protests and argues that Anne isn't selfless or noble enough to deserve the title. While deriding someone publicly like that is a jerk move, Anne has been selfish and inconsiderate on multiple occasions, and for that Toadstool's objections are justified. Anne herself admits this by the end of the episode, though by then Toadstool has grown to respect her enough to let her keep the award.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Read heart of particularly shiny bronze. For how greedy he is, he's far less of a threat than Grime, and does his best to keep his citizens from being crushed by rubble in Reunion. He has the capacity to be good, it's just really, really deep down in there. Clearly, he's in denial that he is starting to care about them.
- Large and in Charge: As he is a toad, he's taller and bulkier than any other of Wartwood's citizens, being roughly the same height as Anne.
- Lazy Bum: In "Battle of the Bands", Toadstool decides to just take a 12-hour nap instead of being in a band with Toadie.
- Mayor Pain: At first, he just seems like a standard jerk who just happens to be mayor of Wartwood, but over time it's revealed he's corrupt, embezzling money from the town to fund his own re-election, and sending Toad Tower guards after innocent citizens to cover up his deeds.
- My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Most of the other toads seen so far are fit martial-minded warriors, but Toadstool is an overweight politician who isn't much of a fighter, although the can still play sports.
- Nonstandard Character Design: He's the only toad whose teeth aren't sharp, making him look less threatening in comparison.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: At first, he comes off as an unethical jerkass mayor, but "Toad Tax" shows him at his absolute worst by stealing the tax money, writing up every resident for tax evasion, letting Grime's goons threaten the innocent villagers mercilessly, and then attempting to kill anyone who finds him out.
- Obliviously Evil: It's clear he never realizes that embezzling money from the townsfolk is wrong and unethical.
- The One Who Wears Shoes: He's one of the very few Wartwood citizens who does not walk around barefoot. It indicates his high social status.
- Permanent Elected Official: Despite accidentally calling the townsfolk idiots in the middle of a campaign and being publicly exposed for embezzlement, Toadstool remains the mayor, and no mention is made of any competition. When the election actually occurs in "Hop Popular", he completely lost the Wartwood vote, but it doesn't matter because the entire valley gets to vote, and no one outside Wartwood even knew Hop Pop was running. Finally subverted at the end of the series where Toadie becomes the new mayor with help from Toadstool himself, who serves as his deputy.
- Pet the Dog:
- In "Anne Of The Year", he is staunchly opposed to Anne winning the "Frog of the Year" award, but still works with her to rescue the townspeople from a fire. At the end, he admits that even he was impressed by how she was able to save everyone and affirms that she does rightfully deserve the award.
- In "Reunion", he carries the remaining citizens on his back out of the Collapsing Lair.
- In "New Wartwood", he tries to stand up for Marcy and shoulder some of the blame when her actions flood the town.
- In "Friend or Frobo", he immediately tries to rescue Sprig and Anne when it seems like Frobo's gonna kill them, and immediately lets the robot go despite all the damage it's caused when Polly promises that she'll fix it all.
- In the eplogue in "The Hardest Thing", he helped Toadie win the election and become the new mayor.
- Sleazy Politician: Very.Mayor Toadstool: It's as if embezzling money from the town makes you the bad guy!
- Small Role, Big Impact: The frog rebellion, and by extension Grime's downfall and the subsequent toad rebellion, all go back to his scheme to embezzle the taxes the frogs of his town paid and cover it up by falsely reporting the same frogs as not having paid.
- Small-Town Tyrant: He certainly gives off this vibe, due to his corrupt mayoral hold over the backwoods town of Wartwood combined with his thick Southern accent.
- Stout Strength: He has a heavyset build, but he is quite strong, such as when he carries some of Wartwood's citizens on his back while running, though this does leave him exhausted afterwards.
- Stupid Evil: In "Toad Tax". Despite having already earned the towns' anger for embezzling, he hoards all their tax money to fund his re-election campaign.
- Unwitting Pawn: Being a toad, he warrants special attention from Captain Grime; regardless of how cooperative the Mayor is with him, his leadership of Wartwood is what establishes toad supremacy over the frogs. If a frog stands up to the toad mayor, that frog will feel Grime's wrath.
- Worthy Opponent: Though he wins the race for mayor in "Hop-Popular", he admits genuine surprise that the whole valley didn't love Hop Pop as much as everyone in Wartwood did. It turns out the only reason Toadstool won was because Hop Pop didn't campaign outside of Wartwood, not realizing the rest of the valley got a vote.
- Would Hurt a Child: Once Sprig finds out about him hoarding the town's taxes for himself, he tells the boy it's lucky no one else will ever find out about it and immediately attacks him.
- You Have Failed Me: Another reason he's Going Native is to avoid Grime's wrath for his failure to keep the frogs of Wartwood in their place.
Toadie

Click here for his outfit as the mayor of Wartwood
Voiced by: Jack McBrayer
Mayor Toadstool's assistant.
- Butt-Monkey: He gets abused quite a bit by Mayor Toadstool — being used as a footstool, getting inadvertently punched, heck, even Sprig pushes him to the ground when he goes bad cop in "Croak & Punishment".
- A Dog Named "Cat": His name is a pun on "toad", but he's actually a frog.
- Expository Hairstyle Change: In "Sasha's Angels", he makes his hair all messy after taking a level in badass.
- Extreme Doormat: Toadie stopped having original opinions a long time ago, and he is content with just doing whatever Toadstool tells him to.
- Foil: In "Battle of the Bands", he becomes one to Sasha of all people, his Yes-Man contrasting against her Control Freak. He ends up giving her some advice about accepting that people don't always want her help, and sometimes they'd rather do it themselves.
- Hidden Depths:
- He's a talented bugball player. Toadstool admits this fact is surprising even as he hypes his lineup up.
- He helps Sasha see that even if you think you know what's best for the people you care about, sometimes (win or lose) you just need to support them.
- I Know Madden Kombat: In "Sasha's Angels", he defeats a Marauder who is much larger than he is by using the same moves he uses to dress Mayor Toadstool.
- Punny Name: A sniveling assistant is called a toadie. Though he's a frog rather than a toad.
- Stealth Pun: His whole motif is pencils. This alludes to the fact that as the mayor's assistant, he's a pencil pusher.
- Took a Level in Badass: In "Sasha's Angels", the meek and unassertive Toadie ends up becoming a fierce and ruthless leader when pushed too far.
- Yes-Man: He always agrees with everything Mayor Toadstool says, whether it's good or bad. So far, the only time he disagrees with the Mayor is in "Civil Wart", where he joins Team Hunter and the Mayor joins Team Alastair. He even says he stopped having opinions years ago.Toadstool: Oh, this is bad, Toadie. People hate us!
Toadie: (happily) With a passion, sir!

"My work here is done."
Voiced by: James Adomian
Wartwood's law enforcer.- All There in the Script: As of season one, his name hasn't been said aloud, but it's revealed in the credits◊ of his debut episode.
- Big Ol' Eyebrows: His eyebrows are just as white and bushy as his mustache.
- Clint Squint: He has narrow, squinty eyes, to look like a Western-style sheriff character usually played by the likes of Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: He has a gravelly voice that is nearly identical to Sam Elliott.

Voiced by: James Patrick Stuart
The local town vagrant.
- Actor Allusion: It's not the first time that James Patrick Stuart has been the voice of an old coot with a missing eye.
- Chekhov's Gunman: He's established as a paranoid homeless frog that will cause chaos in the mistaken belief of protecting the town. Anne doesn't think highly of him at first until they bond while finding the Moss Man, and he mentions offhand that being seen as a lunatic allows him to notice details that others wouldn't and get the jump on others. In the first season finale, he has the sense to plant boom shrooms with a delayed timer, despite Anne's objections, because he noticed the toad guards wouldn't back down. The boom shrooms end up paying off much later.
- Cloudcuckoolander: When Anne tries to ask him for help, he immediately assumes that she wants to eat him, and he runs off screaming in hysterics. Sprig comments that it sounds like something Wally would do.
- Compressed Hair: As revealed in "Wally and Anne", he actually has shiny, gorgeous Non-Mammalian Hair that remains completely hidden under his hat. He goes through a bit of Dramatic Wind afterward just to show that, for a loony person that lives in squalor, his hair is nicely kept. However, he was shown to have shorter hair before in "Breakout Star".
- Embarrassing First Name: Do NOT call him Walliam.
- Eyes Always Shut: Despite his name, he does have two eyes, it's just that he never opens his left eye. He even keeps it closed while trying to "wink" conspiratorially with his closed eye, which he only realizes too late. The only times he's ever opened his left eye is in the series premiere and in the episode "New Wartwood".
- Fantastic Racism: He does not think highly of Anne and Sprig's friendship. He even refers to Anne as a monster. He gets over it in "Toad Tax" after Anne stands up to the toad soldiers, even stating she has his and the town's respect.
- Improbable Weapon User: In "Turning Point", he attacks several robots with his accordion. It works.
- Intergenerational Friendship: He forms one with Anne in "Wally and Anne". Also an Interspecies Friendship.
- Nonindicative Name: One-Eyed Wally actually still has both eyes.◊ He just keeps one eye shut 99% of the time.
- Obfuscating Insanity: He acts like a complete loon most of the time; not because he is one, but because he gets a kick out of the reactions people have to him.
- One-Person Birthday Party: He has to celebrate his birthday alone every year, due to it landing on the same day as the Blue Moon Shut-In.
- Secretly Wealthy: "Swamp and Sensibility" reveals he's the heir to a rich family from Ribbitvale, the "fanciest town in all of Amphibia".
- The Thing That Would Not Leave: Stumpy apparently has a hard time getting Wally to ever leave his diner.

"Well, aren't you fascinating? Yes, you are."
Voiced by: Brian Maillard
An axolotl woodsmith.
- Alliterative Name: Leopold Loggle.
- Bait-and-Switch Comment: He does this a LOT as the result of an old smithing accident. It serves as a Running Gag throughout the first season.Anne: Can you fix it?
Leopold: As a matter of fact, I CANnnnnnnnnnnnn not.
Sprig: Huh. Can you make a new one?
Leopold: ABSOLUTELYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy no way.
Polly: Do you have one we could buy?
Leopold: OF COURSE I DOoooooooooooooon't. I don't.
Anne: Will you stop doing that?!
Leopold: Can't. Old smithing accident. - Body Horror: He was stabbed in the throat by a metal pipe during a metal smithing accident, damaging his voice box.
- Butt-Monkey: In his episode debut, Leopold's shop and woodworks get ruined after the kids accidentally lead a giant bug monster to him. He also reveals that he's close to bankruptcy, meaning that business isn't going well for him.
- Cloudcuckoolander: He is a quirky Amphibian who is said to love wood a little too much. He even admits that he's a complicated man when Anne finds a jar of termites in his shop.
- Comically Small Bribe: Despite the drastic, collateral damage done to his shop, he lets Anne and the kids go after taking their cane and Anne's push pen.
- I Got Bigger: Once Anne returns to Amphibia after her time on Earth in season 3, Leopold has grown into a big, muscular woodsmith. According to him, he had the genes to get that big in a short span of time. Unfortunately for him, he also loses muscle mass just as fast as he gains it. After the nine-month Time Skip in the finale (Amphibia-wise), he is back to his old, scrawny self, which was apparently the result of him taking one cheat day at some point within the past nine months.
- The Narcissist: After he gets bigger, he clearly enjoys his new body, like when he sculpts a bridge in record time with statues of his current self added in for good measure.
- Nonstandard Character Design: Leopold is one of the few non-frog Amphibians, specifically an axolotl, with tiny eyes and external gills shaped like antlers.
- Propaganda Piece: In season 3, the Rebellion uses him as a recruitment tactic, telling refugees that joining up with the rebellion might lead to them looking like Loggle.
- Token Minority: The only axolotl in Wartwood.
Maddie Flour
Voiced by: Jill Bartlett
The creepy young daughter of the town baker who has a crush on Sprig, and has an interest in witchcraft.
- A Day in the Limelight:
- "Cursed!" is the first episode that brings her to the forefront and gives Sprig and Anne more insight into her character.
- "Maddie & Marcy" focuses on her, Marcy, and Maddie's relationship with her younger sisters.
- Abhorrent Admirer: To Sprig. He tries to remain cordial to her, but she obviously scares the crap out of him with her unnerving, Creepy Child behavior.
- All There in the Script: In her debut episode, her name wasn't spoken, but it was shown in the credits. Sprig eventually references Maddie by her name in "Dating Season".
- Amicable Exes: After Sprig ends their engagement and Maddie helps save him and Anne from the curse they've been under, Sprig and Maddie agree to be friends.
- Arranged Marriage: Anne forces Sprig to promise to marry her in order to get pizza dough.Maddie: See you soon, hubby!
- Artifact of Doom: The engagement ring she gave Sprig certainly LOOKS the part: creepily skull-shaped with hellish light shining within the eye sockets. Knowing Maddie, it might or might not actually be cursed.
- Berserk Button: For her, it's reckless usage of dark magic for petty reasons.
- Black Magic: She knows a charm to track down curses and even knows how to create curses herself, but she only uses them on people who really deserve them.
- Child Mage: She's a child, and a witch in training.
- Cool Big Sis: She used to be like this with her younger sisters, although they grew apart over time. At the end of "Maddie & Marcy", she promises to be this again.
- Creepy Child: She talks with a low creepy voice and plays with a voodoo doll she made of Sprig.Maddie: I've seen your death in my mind.
Sprig: I was kind of hoping it would be a surprise.
Maddie: It will be. - Creepy Good: While she can come off as unsettling in her dark interests, she's a good person who uses her knowledge of magic and curses to help people.
- Creepy Loner Girl: She has a somewhat disheveled look, and her unusual mannerisms tend to drive people away, except for Marcy, whose interest in magic leads to her becoming Maddie's apprentice.
- Dark Is Not Evil: She has macabre interests, talks about disturbing things casually, and has knowledge of the dark arts, but she's not a bad person. In "Cursed!", Sprig is forced to come to terms with the fact that he's been judging her without ever actually getting to know her. This becomes an Enforced Trope from her debut episode onward, which has her saying more than once that such magic should only be done by someone who is careful and trained.
- Establishing Character Moment: The first time Maddie appears, she's driving a sharp stick through the chest of a Voodoo Doll of Sprig.
- Exorcist Head: She turns her head 360 degrees to face Anne in "Cursed!"
- Expository Hairstyle Change: When she started taking up witchcraft, she switched her hairstyle from hanging down with a bow to a witchy bun.
- Eye of Newt: All of her magic comes from mixing things to make potions and powders.
- Good All Along: Up until midway through the episode "Cursed!", Maddie comes off as someone with potentially murderous intentions towards Sprig.Maddie: I'll have you know I learned magic to help people, not hurt them. Sheesh!
- Goth Girls Know Magic: She wears dark-colored clothes and has an overall moody aesthetic, and she can perform magic and curses.
- Hellish Pupils: She has vertical pupils to add to her creepiness. Subverted after she's revealed to be good all along.
- Meaningful Name: Maddie can easily be described as mad.
- Missing Mom: Maddie's mother is never seen nor mentioned.
- Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold: Maddie can easily come across as creepy or even threatening to those who don't know her well, but despite her intensity and dark interests, she's really a good person who learned magic — including the dark arts — so she could help people.
- Nightmare Fetishist: Her interests include voodoo dolls, casually telling people she's foreseen their deaths, creepy skull rings, the dark arts, and baking bread in the shape of her friends, which she happily watches burn in a fire. Is it any wonder she gets along well with Marcy?
- Slasher Smile: She sometimes looks pretty unsettling when she smiles too wide, which initially contributes to her being a Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold. However, when she's about to re-curse Barry in "Sasha's Angels", the demented grin she sports 100% means what it looks like it means.
- Yandere: Subverted. In her initial appearance, it's not clear if she has a crush on Sprig, wants to kill him or both. Later it's made clear she likes him, she just has a strange way of showing it. When Sprig breaks up with her in "Cursed!" via paper airplane, and he and Anne end up cursed afterwards, not only was Maddie not the one who cursed them, she helps them defeat the one who did in exchange for nothing. The episode ends with her and Sprig agreeing to stay friends.

- Hands-Off Parenting: He just sort of leaves Maddie and his triplet daughters to their own devices.
- Open-Minded Parent: He shows no mortification about Maddie's interest in witchcraft. He's even willing to let her murder his younger daughters at one point, though he does tell her to reanimate them afterwards.

- Never Mess with Granny: She is hinted to have an Action Girl past, and can still kick serious ass.
- Screw Politeness, I'm A Senior!: She can be rude and blunt, especially to Sprig, whom she's not very fond of.
- Somebody Doesn't Love Raymond: The plot of "Cracking Mrs. Croaker" is Sprig trying to get her to like him, since she's the only person in Wartwood who doesn't. Once he explains himself, she says that there's just something about him she doesn't like, but concedes that if he's willing to put in so much effort to get her to like him, she might as well try to like him back.
- Troll: She's willing to do this to people who've upset her, even when she says she forgives them.Sprig: Pretty sure I just got played.

Felicia Sundew
Voiced by: Kaitlyn Robrock
Ivy's mother and the proprietor of the café.
- Action Girl: It doesn't seem like it at first glance, but "Ivy on the Run" shows that she picked up some impressive martial arts skills while traveling the world.
- Demoted to Extra: She wasn't exactly the most prominent Wartwood citizen, but in "Ivy On The Run" she was revealed to have an interesting backstory traveling through all of Amphibia for tea and china. All that got thrown out the window and Felicia turned into a background character in Season 3.
- Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: She is very elegant, feminine, and graceful, but she is also a competent fighter and is well-trained in martial arts.
- Good Parents: Although she tries to force her daughter into matrimony for her own benefit once, Felicia is a loving, caring mother towards Ivy.

- Non-Mammalian Hair: As shown in her image above, she has long, red locks.
- Not So Above It All: Despite her image as a dignified lady, she's more than willing to fight back against antagonistic toads. "Ivy on the Run" shows that she has the skills to back it up, too.
- The Perfectionist: She expects everything to be done flawlessly down to the last detail, and hates it when her daughter rushes her chores and misses a spot.
- Redhead In Green: She's redheaded and wears a green dress.
- Shipper with an Agenda: She agrees to Hop Pop's plan to get Sprig and Ivy betrothed in exchange for having Sprig work at her cafe.

- Compressed Hair: "The Shut-in" reveals that Ivy hides a lot of her hair under her hat, due to feeling self-conscious about how it looks. She seems to have finally become comfortable with it by the time of the time-skip in “The Hardest Thing”.
- A Day in the Limelight: "Ivy on the Run" is the first episode to fully focus on her and not be in anyway related to her relationship with Sprig.
- Feminine Mother, Tomboyish Daughter: While her mother Felicia is a more reserved woman, Ivy loves the outdoors and playing rough. Despite this, they have a loving mother-daughter relationship.
- Fiery Redhead: She's a fierce tomboy who enjoys roughhousing, and she has orange Non-Mammalian Hair.
- The Gadfly: Ivy has a tendency to pull surprise pranks on Sprig.
- Just Friends: She thinks she has this relationship with Sprig. Starting from the end of "Dating Season," Sprig himself wants to take it to the next step. By the events of "Anne of the Year", it's revealed she has a crush on him too, so they end up together.
- Gut Feeling: As an expert in the art of ambushing. She can sense when an ambush is about to happen a mile away.
- Kids Hate Chores: She does not enjoy doing chores, and often rushes them. It doesn't help that Felicia is very strict about her completing them in a perfect manner.
- Meaningful Name: "Sundew" is an adorable name for a carnivorous plant, an appropriate metaphor not only for her but for the show as a whole.
- Nice Girl: Despite her rather loud personality, and tendencies to roughhouse people; especially Sprig. Ivy is a friendly and socialable frog girl, even if it's a little forceful at times. Unlike many of her fellow Wartwoodian's, Ivy quickly warms up to Anne when they first meet and doesn't show any hostility towards her.
- Overly Long Name: Her full name is revealed to be Ivy Hibiscus Matcha Sundew. This falls into Meaningful Name as well, since every one of her names is a plant or type of tea.
- Puppy Love: Both she and her love interest Sprig are preteens.
- Relationship Upgrade: She and Sprig end up dating in "Anne of the Year".
- Satellite Love Interest: Almost every episode featuring her centers around Sprig's crush on her. It's not until the latter half of season two that she finally gets a focus episode, "Ivy on the Run", that does not revolve around her and Sprig's relationship.
- Strict Parents Make Sneaky Kids: In "Ivy on the Run", she gets fed up with Felicia's strict rules and tea lessons, and tries to run away.

- Absurdly Sharp Claws: She can use her long nails to scratch opponents.
- Alliterative Name: Sylvia Sundew.

- December–December Romance: She has a blossoming relationship with Hop Pop. Both of them are elderly frogs with grandchildren of their own.

- Give Geeks a Chance: Her reasoning for choosing Hop Pop over Monroe.Sylvia: I have a soft spot for the weird ones. Remember?
- Making a Spectacle of Yourself: She seems to be wearing tacky glasses, although it's unclear whether they're actual glasses or her eyes are shaped like that.

- Silver Fox: Despite being an elderly frog, she is in good shape, and both Hop Pop and Monroe find her very attractive. In "Family Fishing Trip", even Sprig gets distracted by her flowing hair.
Stumpy Stumpson
"Here you are. Four bowls of slop. Enjoy. Or don't. Makes no difference to me."
Voiced by: John DiMaggio
A chef running a restaurant in Wartwood.
- Alliterative Name: As seen in a Freeze-Frame Bonus when Bog is listing off the frogs off of his tax list in "Toad Tax", his full name is revealed to be Stumpy Stumpson. This also doubles as a Repetitive Name.
- Artificial Limbs: He's missing both hands and his right leg, and has replaced the former with various attachable kitchen utensils and the latter with a peg leg.
- Chef of Iron: The guy's not afraid to get dirty if he needs to. He even lands the finishing blow on the kraken when it attacks Duckweed.
- Expy: Where else have we seen an overweight Lethal Chef with a Southern England pirate accent and a replaceable hand in a Disney show?
- Greasy Spoon: The restaurant he's running is a dirty place with disgusting-looking food, at least until Anne decides to upgrade it.
- Hook Hand: Both of his hands are cut off and replaced by prosthetics shaped like various kitchen tools. The spatula attachment is explicitly stated to be made from the bones of one of his missing hands.
- Lethal Chef: The food he serves (before Anne's involvement) looks disgusting.
- Named After the Injury: Subverted. He's missing both hands and one foot, but it turns out his name actually is "Stumpy Stumpson".
- Oral Fixation: He always has a beetle leg sticking out from his mouth.
- Stopped Caring: He knows that his guests have bad opinions on the food he serves, but he doesn't really care. Anne helps him take some pride in his work again.
Mr. Albus Duckweed
"Well, what does a creature like you know about running a restaurant?"
Voiced by: Kevin McDonald
The most popular restaurant critic in Wartwood. Unfortunately, he's also very hard to please and loves to exploit his reputation.
- Actor Allusion: In Catscratch, Kevin McDonald voiced a character who loves newts. Here, he voices Duckweed, who is a newt.
- Ass in a Lion Skin: He's been known to disguise himself as a frog for the sake of getting unbiased treatment from restaurants.Anne: Duckweed... what's with the disguise?
Duckweed: Oh, this? It's kind of a critic thing.
Anne: Really?
Duckweed: Uh-huh. It's to guarantee that we get a genuine experience, you know?
Anne: Oh, interesting."
Duckweed: If you knew it was me, you'd probably zhuzh it up a bit, make it a little bit better, but in a disguise, you're just going to serve me like anyone else!
Anne: Oh... that's actually really clever.
Duckweed: Thank you! - Caustic Critic: Duckweed lives to have Stumpy's closed down. When Anne revitalizes it and her food becomes a big hit, Duckweed still plans to give it a bad review, likely out of spite."And when I publish my review, your restaurant will be ruined! Ha-ha-ha! I love my job."
- He changes his mind after being saved from the main course, believing it was an intentional twist of "food that eats you", and praising Stumpy and Anne for their "creativity".
- Hidden Disdain Reveal: In "The Three Armies". When Anne tries to use Albus and Mayor Toadstool as an example of how toads and newts can get along, they casually admit to disliking each other immensely, surprising Anne.
- I Am Not Weasel: He's a newt, not a lizard, as Anne calls him. Given reptiles are presumably non-anthropomorphic in Amphibia, it's a rather important difference.
- Jerkass: He's generally unpleasant towards both Stumpy and Anne, insulting Anne's parents and taking pleasure in the idea of putting Stumpy out of business."I mean, how hard is it to run a restaurant anyway? You just put food on tables! A tadpole can do it!"
- Small Name, Big Ego: He presents himself as an elite who brings culture to Wartwood, and even presides over political announcements during Toadstool's mayoral campaign. But he's still only powerful in Wartwood. He appears to have no connection to Newtopia and, judging from other newts, its unlikely he'd be considered the cream of the crop.
- Token Minority: The only resident newt in Wartwood. He disguises himself as a frog when visiting the diner to get unbiased treatment because he would be instantly recognizable otherwise.

Soggy Joe: No! - Evil Laugh: Though he's not evil, his laughter is rather maniacal and chilling.
- Hidden Depths: He and his fellow truckers are able to psychoanalyze Polly's behavior in "Truck Stop Polly" accurately, much to her dismay.
- Major Injury Underreaction: He takes an axe to the back, falls over for several minutes, then gets up as if nothing has happened. Justified, as he was wearing an axe-proof vest for protection.
- New Job as the Plot Demands: In season two, he shows up as a trucker and likes to be called Speedy Joe.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: He's a parody of Bear Grylls.
- Real Men Wear Pink: Just because he's a manly survivalist doesn't mean he can't appreciate a good peony bath bomb.
- Seadog Beard: It's got bones in it!
- Tattoo as Character Type: His arms are covered in numerous tattoos of dangerous animals, to emphasize his toughness.
- Tongue Trauma: A part of his tongue was bitten off at some point. How he got the injury, however, is unknown.

- Hulking Out: When angered, he turns into a green muscular giant with tusks. It's apparently a well-known trait of his species.
- Magic Pants: While the top part of his overalls breaks when he hulks out, the bottom part remains more or less intact, similarly to the character he's inspired by.
- Mellow Fellow: He's generally nice and friendly, unless you start breaking his stuff or feed him licorice. But when he does get angry, you wouldn't like him.
- Non-Mammal Mammaries: A Rare Male Example; after Hulking Out, he gets visible nipples on his chest, something frogs normally lack (and even he lacks in his normal form).
- Shout-Out: When angry, he becomes a green, muscular giant.

A simple frog of few words who grows tulips.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: He seems ditzy and helpless, but Hop Pop hires him to look after the Plantars' house for a reason.

- Creator Cameo: He's voiced by the series creator, Matt Braly.
- Eye-Obscuring Hat: Always wears a straw hat that conveniently covers his eyes.
- Genius Ditz: He's ditzy enough that Anne initially refuses to leave him in charge of watching the Plantars' house, but he was able to rebuild it in seconds after it was completely destroyed.
- Hidden Depths: Outside of being a tulip farmer, he's also a decent bugball player in his own right, as seen in "The Big Bugball Game". He is also able to repair destroyed houses in a matter of seconds.

A frog that skins other frogs to make clothing for herself.
- Body Horror: She wears a suit made of other frogs' skins to hide her translucent body.
- Evil Sounds Deep: She has a deep, guttural voice, and maintains her suit by flaying other frogs' skins.
