    General 
  • Dead to Begin With: Our main trio, as well as other characters who are mentioned, with the series following their lives in the Dark Forest, a place for those who cannot pass on. Gideon is the only one hinted at to be alive, however. As in the first episode, as the camera zooms out, it reveals for a brief moment while Gideon is playing the arcade machine, Elon and Naraah vanish. Somewhat subverted as in-universe, they were never real to begin with.

Main Trio

    Elon Doyle 

Played by: Alexis Ruiz

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elon.png

"Trapped like a fly in a jar!"

The titular CatGhost and central protagonist. A spectral white cat who is introduced in Episode 1, Birthday, hanging out with Naarah and Gideon, often temperamental and snarky (moreso as the series progresses) as well as the Straight Man of the group.

Was once a human, burned as a teenager for witchcraft. Her soul ended up in the game Party Country, and ever since then she has sought revenge on those she deems responsible for her death.


  • The Bad Guy Wins: In Banana, she kills the protagonist in the end. Averted in the series itself, where she almost captures everyone she blames for her death, only for Malone to deliver a Curb-Stomp Battle on her.
  • Big Bad: The sole one of Banana as the one who is keeping the protagonist prisoner and kills them in the end.
  • Big Bad Ensemble: She is the cause of many of the episode conflicts and is gradually revealed as the one responsible for putting the trio in purgatory in the first place, manipulates Narrah for her own ends, and masterminds an Evil Plan to capture and/or kill every soul who she blames for her execution for witchcraft. On the other end is the Skin Walker, who torments her and the others for its own reasons (though she accidentally created it).
  • Burn the Witch!: Elon's human form was burned at the stake, shown through flashbacks and game information.
  • Cats Are Magic: Elon can produce flames on her paws, curse others, and transform into a demonic creature. Although it likely she could do these things while she was still human.
  • Cats Are Mean: Elon gets the most Kick the Dog moments and definitely has a cruel streak, ranging from forcing Gideon to come up with a knock-knock joke for two years, and gloating about how much prettier than others she considers herself even when it makes Naarah uncomfortable, to, more seriously, trapping the serpent/Beth in a cage and forcing Naarah to kill her dog.
  • Cats Are Snarkers: She's the meanest and snarkiest of the main trio, though Gideon is more deadpan.
  • Characterization Marches On: She was almost as immature as Naarah at first, doing things like laughing hysterically at her own cheesy knock-knock joke, while later she becomes the mother figure to Naarah's child, as evidenced by her scolding Naarah with the line "Do you know how worried sick I was" in "Catghost 6: Hole". Elon also took Gideon's place as the grouch of the three as the series went on, in contrast to her playfulness in the first two episodes.
  • Control Freak: She desires to control everything, from Narrah to fate and death itself, and spends the series attacking everyone who she feels is a threat to that end. Malone repeatedly tries to tell her that there is so much she cannot hope to control and a whole universe much bigger than she is, to which Elon brushes her off.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: As is customary for witch trials, she was burned at the stake.
  • Cute Ghost Girl: In the sense that she is a ghost in the form of a cute kitty.
  • Cute Is Evil: Her cat form is cute and she knows it, but she is also a cruel, callous kitty who bullies Gideon and uses her witch powers to torment everyone she believes to be responsible for her death.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Because Gideon didn't understand a joke, Elon and Naarah curse him to be locked in a small cell until he can write a good joke. It takes him two years to do so.
  • Evil Redhead: Was a redhead as a human and a Wicked Witch who served as a Toxic Friend Influence to Narrah, eventually manipulating her into killing her dog as part of a ritual.
  • Fatal Flaw: Her Mortality Phobia and her inability to accept responsibility for her actions. To achieve immortality, she manipulated Narrah into doing a ritual involving sacrificing her beloved dog, an action that kick-started the series plot and the characters' imprisonment in Party Country purgatory. Rather than accept responsibility, she blames everyone but herself, leading her to antagonize and alienate everyone around her, eventually including Narrah. It is only when she finally owns up to what she did and stops running away from fate that she can pass on and the series ends.
  • Fiery Redhead: When she was a human, she had striking red hair, and was just as temperamental as in the afterlife.
  • Freudian Excuse: As a child, she and her parents were travelers, but one day got trapped in a blizzard. The parents died, leaving her alone to wander the world for so long before being found by Malone. Her close encounter with death gave her a Mortality Phobia that drove her to try to become immortal, at any cost.
  • Game Face: When really angry, she can transform into a large snake-like being that has the power of Teleportation.
  • A God Am I: In the last episode, she calls herself a "higher power" controlling everyone's fates.
  • Heel Realization: In Episode 13, after spending the entire series consumed with revenge and a desire for immortality, bullying and harming everyone around her, and blaming everyone but herself for her misfortune, she finally realizes just what she did, and how she drove away Narrah through her manipulations.
  • Human All Along: Her human self is finally shown in Episode 13.
  • Immortality Immorality: It is implied that the ritual she conducted, in which she pressured/forced Narrah into killing her dog, was done to achieve immortality.
  • Immortality Seeker: The ritual she forced Narrah to carry out is implied to have been an immortality ritual.
  • Magical Romani: She and her mentor Malone traveled around Colonial America in a wagon, all the while practicing witch-craft. Elon's presence in Gideon, Beth, and Naarah's town brought fears of gypsy activity along with it.
  • Mortality Phobia: She is seen arguing with Malone about the concept of death and how information can still remain in the world if someone dies, later telling Malone in the finale that she refuses to accept that she is dead. It is implied that the ritual which would up causing the events of the series was done in an attempt to cheat death.
  • Near-Villain Victory: In Episode 12, she captures Bethany and has finally captured all her Revenge targets, so it seems like she has won, and she prepares to celebrate... until Episode 13, where Malone comes along, gives her a "The Reason You Suck" Speech, and beats her in a Curb-Stomp Battle.
  • Never My Fault: Aside from her Mortality Phobia, this is her Fatal Flaw. For most of the series, she will attack Gideon for some dumb reason and blame him for it, and she also blames her execution on just about everyone but herself. While they aren’t blameless, she refuses to accept that her manipulating and corrupting Narrah into sacrificing an innocent dog for a witchcraft ritual was what got her executed in the first place. She even blames Malone, her mentor who wanted what was best for her, because Malone told her to stop trying to cheat death and accept fate, saying that Malone is the one who got them trapped in purgatory. Malone finally calls her out on this in the final episode.
  • Nightmare Face: Elon's demonic form includes a terrifying set of teeth and flaming eyes.
  • Not So Above It All: A rather extreme instance; although she seems to position herself as the Straight Man in later episodes who tries to keep the trio together, her negative traits from the first few episodes still seep through, and by the end she has ironically shown herself to be the most unstable and dangerous of the three, being a flat-out Villain Protagonist.
  • One-Winged Angel: Her demon form, a giant snake-like being that she turns into occasionally, most notably when facing Malone at the final confrontation in Episode 13, the Grand Finale.
  • Player Character:
    • One of four in Unholy Circle, along with Narrah, Bethany, and the Watcher.
    • Of Leak, as the one you control as she runs from the Busts. Narrah follows behind but is more of a CPU sidekick.
    • Of Pertinence, which follows her journey from the wagon to her first meeting with Malone.
  • Playing with Fire: Can conjure fire from her paws. In a dark sense, this foreshadows that she was burned to death at the stake.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Whenever she and Narrah get mad at Gideon, their eyes glow red.
  • Snakes Are Sinister: Her One-Winged Angel form is that of a giant serpent with a Nightmare Face.
  • Straw Nihilist: As a result of her tragic life and death, she has come to believe that friends are worthless and will cast you aside after they are done using you, and that life is meaningless becuase it ends. She goes on a whole Motive Rant saying all this in Episode 13.
  • Toxic Friend Influence : To Naarah. They're "bestest of friends" and Elon clearly cares about her, to the point of Anger Born of Worry when she goes wandering off, but at some point when they were human, Elon forced her to kill her dog, and is implied to be the reason why they're stuck in the afterlife. It's only when Naarah accepts that she needs to leave Elon that she's able to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence.
  • Villain Protagonist: The central character and clearest example of the trio- she is a cruel character who bullies Gideon with Narrah, kills the banana in Episode 5, and is the reason they are all trapped in Party Country. She is also a Toxic Friend Influence to Narrah and, while they were alive, pressured her into sacrificing her dog for a ritual. She also keeps an attic full of the souls of those she blames for killing her, and plans to capture Bethany as well.
  • Voice of the Legion: Speaks with this voice whenever she is angry and/or in demon form.
  • Was Once a Man: She used to be a human back when she was alive.
  • Wicked Witch: Was a witch while alive, and a manipulative Toxic Friend Influence who made Narrah sacrifice her dog for what is implied to be an immortality ritual. As the titular Cat Ghost, she uses her powers to torment Gideon and all others she blames for her death. Her fellow coven members were an aversion, however.

    Naarah 

Played by: Alexis Ruiz

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/naarah_infobox_ghost.png

"Go ahead and drop me. There's nothing else left for me."

A blue Cute Ghost Girl who accompanies Elon wherever she goes. She loves Elon, considering herself her best friend, and hates Gideon, often bullying him with Elon.

Was once a human, stolen as a baby from a Native American village by Bethany and raised by her and Gideon. She met Elon and formed a friendship, joining their coven in secret, but was discovered and sentenced to the dunking test, where she drowned.


  • Ambiguously Brown: In human form, she has noticably brown skin. In the game "Midnight", Bethany is shown to have kidnapped her from what's implied to be a Native American village.
  • Broken Pedestal: She looks up to Elon and considers her "her bestest best friend". However, over the course of the series, she comes to realize Elon's Toxic Friend Influence and eventually passes on without her.
  • Children Are Innocent: Flip-flops between this and Children Are Cruel. Compared to Elon, whom she shares a somewhat sisterly dynamic with, she seems much younger and way more cheerful, but considering she happily locked Gideon in a room for two years over a knock-knock joke, she's not necessarily lacking in malice. Horribly deconstructed in her backstory when it's revealed she killed her dog because of Elon's coercion.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: As is customary for witch trials, she was drowned via ducking stool.
  • Cute Ghost Girl: Naarah is very childlike and cute because of it. She's aware of this too, as in "Catghost 8" she says "I'm super cute and you totally know it!".
  • Death of a Child: She was a young girl (around 14) when she was drowned in a lake for witchcraft.
  • Demonic Possession: Despite being a spirit herself, she somehow gets possessed by another spirit (implied to be Bethany) in Episode 4: Circle.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Because Gideon didn't understand a joke, Elon and Naarah curse him to be locked in a small cell until he can write a good joke. It takes him two years to do so.
  • Fog Feet: Naarah has no limbs, so she flies everywhere and uses telekinesis to lift objects.
  • Friendly Ghost: To Elon and Azule, she is a loyal friend who loves to hang out and wants nothing but the best for them. Not so much to Gideon, who she frequently bullies.
  • Heel Realization: In Episode 12, after seeing Elon capture Bethany and seeing just how far she is willing to go for Revenge (as well as a little prodding from the Skin Walker), she realizes that Elon has been negatively influencing her and turning her into a monster herself.
  • Luke, I Am Your Father: Gideon is her adoptive dad. While Gideon is unaware of this, it's unclear if Narrah knows.
  • Meaningful Name: Naarah is Hebrew for "girl" or "maiden". Fitting for a girl who died in early adolescence.
  • Only One Name: Unlike Elon and Gideon, whatever last name she may have had is never said. It's possible it was Phillips, since Gideon and Bethany Phillips were her adoptive parents.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Naarah cuddling, and later kissing Gideon, whom she hates, while possessed. Lampshaded as she begins gagging when she comes to at the end of the episode.
  • Our Ghosts Are Different: Of the cast, her appearance most resembles a traditional ghost.
  • Player Character: One of four in Unholy Circle, alongside Elon, Bethany, and the Watcher.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Whenever she and Elon get mad at Gideon, their eyes glow red.
  • Stepford Smiler: Despite her cheer and mischievousness, being stuck in the purgatory where Catghost takes place is clearly wearing on her.
  • Villain Protagonist: She goes along with Elon's bullying of Gideon, had killed her dog Azule in the past on Elon's prodding, and generally has a mean streak, though not as much as Elon.
  • Voice of the Legion: Speaks with this voice when she gets angry, usually at Gideon.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Elon while they were alive. When they were caught doing witchcraft and she was subjected to the dunking test, her mother Bethany begged for her to put all the blame on Elon so she could escape, to which Narrah refused and accepted her fate, asking them to just drop her. This changes by the end of the series as she realizes what a Toxic Friend Influence Elon really is.

    Gideon Phillips 

A white hedgehog who finds himself stuck with Elon and Narrah, who do not seem to like him. Though dimwitted, he is happy-go-lucky and has an optimistic attitude- unless Elon and Narrah are in the process of bullying him.

Was once a human, a judge who served on the village Council. He had a loving wife who kidnapped Naraah so they could have the child she could not conceive. But when Naraah was caught being a witch, he was forced to convict and punish her. He died much later.


  • Butt-Monkey: He is often bullied and teased by Elon and Narrah. In the first two episodes, they constantly disturb his sleep and trap him in a room for two years because he didn't like their knock-knock joke, and in episode 3, Narrah frames Gideon for scaring Elon with the mirror, resulting in Elon going after him and scaring him. Throughout the entire series, he is typically the butt of a joke. Darkly justified later on when its revealed his past self was the judge who sentenced Elon and Narrah to death for witchcraft (reluctantly, in Narrah's case), so Elon's bullying is a sort of revenge (though it's ambiguous if Narrah remembers or not).
  • Characterization Marches On: In the first two episodes, Gideon is almost always grumpy and loves sleeping to the point that he describes being awake as "a curse", but from about the third episode on, he's often portrayed as happy in a dopey sort of way, is sometimes hyperactive rather than perpetually sleepy, and is more likely to mention how much he enjoys doing chores than how much he likes to sleep. Elon and Naarah had to force him to hang out with them in the first two episodes, but by "Catghost 4 Circle" he's the one annoying them by barging in on activities they intended to do without him.
  • The Ditz: He doesn't know what jokes are or how they work at first, tends to say a lot of non sequiturs, and brings about the end of the universe because he and his clone don't realize that touching each other destroys the fabric of the universe.
  • Dreary Half-Lidded Eyes: He had expression during the early episodes. His unenthusiastic Deadpan Snarker tendencies made him a cynical and easily-annoyed Foil for the more energetic and mischievous Elon and Naarah, underscored by his default expression being half-closed eyes and a grumpy frown. Later episodes make Gideon more upbeat and silly, and he often opens his eyes wider to suit his personality shift.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Elon and Naarah hang out with him, even throwing him a birthday party and taking him to Party Country in spite of his protests, yet are also disgusted by him, a feeling they express through abuse. This may be because, when all three were alive, Gideon was the judge who sentenced Elon and Naarah to death.
  • Ghost Amnesia: Implied to be the case. Elon and Naarah have some recollection of their human lives, but Gideon claims to not remember anything before "being born" in purgatory, and he doesn't recognize Narrah as his adoptive daughter, nor does he recognize Bethany as his wife, or Elon as the girl he sentenced to burn for witchcraft.
  • Incredibly Lame Fun: Gideon's idea of fun consists of things like doing chores or going to church. He even has a favorite chore: chopping wood. Even his favorite games are old fashioned ones like Up Jenkins or Able Whackets.
  • Luke, I Am Your Father: He is Narrah's adoptive father. He doesn't remember this.
  • Meaningful Name:
    • Gideon means "feller of trees" in Hebrew, and in episode 3 Mirror it's revealed his favorite chore is collecting firewood.
    • Gideon is also the Rastafarian word for Armageddon. This meaning was fulfilled in episode 7.
    • Gideon is a figure from the Biblical Book of Judges. When he was alive, Gideon was a judge in the modern sense of the word, and sentenced Elon and Narrah to death for witchcraft.
  • Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds: Gideon and his clone accidentally bring about the end of the universe via prolonged contact with each other (i.e., passing salt and high fiving).
  • Never the Selves Shall Meet: While he and his clone can speak with each other just fine, touching each other breaks and eventually destroys the fabric of the universe.
  • No Sense of Humor: Gideon cannot understand a simple knock-knock joke, which lands him in a small cell for two years.
  • Only Sane Man: Gideon was the straight man for Elon and Naarah's antics in early episodes, although this role seems to be somewhat shifting to Elon, who tries to keep things in order as her friends just mess around.
  • Outliving One's Offspring: Narrah was his adopted child, but it did not make it any less painful for him to watch her he executed for witchcraft- and he was the one forced to sentence her.
  • Villain Protagonist: Downplayed, as in the past he sentenced Elon (who was genuinely guilty of manipulating Narrah into killing her dog) and Narrah (his adopted daughter who he did not want to sentence) to execution for witchcraft, but only because the rest of the council decreed it so and basically pressured him to.
  • Tragic Villain: He really did not want to sentence his own adopted daughter to execution, but they were caught doing witchcraft and so had to be punished according to the laws of the village council. He and Bethany pleaded with them to let Narrah go, and he even choose to have her face the ducking stool test just so there might be a chance of her surviving, but she drowned anyway.

Major Characters

    Bethany 
A character who shows up in some games before making her appearance as a blue serpent-like being. She was Gideon's wife who kidnapped and raised Narrah because she was unable to conceive a child herself. She is the protagonist of the game Midnight, which shows her kidnapping Narrah from a Native American village. Holds a grudge against Elon for introducing Narrah to Wicca, which wound up getting them both executed for witchcraft.
  • Anti-Villain: She kidnapped baby Narrah, but seems to have raised her well and truly does love her as well as Gideon. Their deaths devastate her enough to be Driven to Suicide.
  • Big Bad: Of Midnight, as her plan to kidnap a baby starts the conflict, with her as the Villain Protagonist.
  • Driven to Suicide: After Narrah was drowned for witchcraft and Gideon passed away much later, she threw herself off a cliff, despondent at having lost both her husband and adopted daughter.
    My love is more powerful than death, see you all soon.
  • Outliving One's Offspring: Narrah was her adopted child, but it does not make it any less painful to see her executed for witchcraft.
  • Player Character:
    • One of four in Unholy Circle, alongside Elon, Narrah, and the Watcher.
    • Of Midnight, which features her sneaking into the Native American village to kidnap Narrah.
  • Villain Protagonist: She is the Player Character of Midnight, in which she sneaks into a Native American village and kidnaps a baby to raise for herself.

    Malone 
Elon's mentor in Wicca. She found Elon laying in a forest, tired and alone, and took her into the coven. They had a disagreement on fate and the concept of death, and Elon went off on her own. She finally appears in the second half of the series as an antagonist of sorts to Elon.
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies: She takes on the form of a large spider thing, who can make herself even bigger than Elon, a cat.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: A purple-robed witch who becomes a spider-ish creature as a spirit, but is a benevolent character who wants to help Elon.
  • Fuzzball Spider: Her spirit form appears as a round, fuzzy, purple spider with four sharp legs.
  • Hero Antagonist: She antagonizes Elon and acts smug towards her, but only because she is trying to stop Elon from futilely pursuing vengeance.
  • Magical Romani: She and her apprentice Elon traveled around Colonial America in a wagon, all the while practicing witch-craft. Elon's presence in Gideon, Beth, and Naarah's town brought fears of gypsy activity along with it.
  • Purple Is Powerful: Wears purple robes and has a purple head as a spirit, and is a witch powerful enough to take on Elon, no slouch herself.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Her teaching Elon about Wicca and spells while arguing with her about cheating death spurred Elon to try a ritual to gain immortality- which got botched and wound up causing the events of the series.

    Banana/Robert D 
I'm a banana!

A banana seen in Episode 5. He constantly cries and screams "I'm a banana!" It is implied he was once human.


  • Deader than Dead: Elon cut him up and cooked him into pancakes while he was in banana form.
  • Death of a Child: According to the jars in Banana, he was about eight when he died.
  • Forced Transformation: It is implied that he was a living human who became a banana as a spirit, and his constant screaming of "I'm a banana" is him going mad at his transformation.
  • Madness Mantra: All but one of his lines consist of him yelling "I'm a banana!"
  • Unperson: Elon appears to be trying to make Robert this, for unknown reasons.
    Elon: What are you talking about? There is no banana.

    The Watcher 
A mysterious woman in a mirror who haunts Elon.
  • Ambiguously Evil: It is never confirmed what side she is on, if any. Elon is scared of her, but since she is a Villain Protagonist, it is possible the Watcher could be benevolent.
  • Mirror Monster: She appears first in a small pocket mirror, then in several large connected mirrors, and appears wherever there is a mirror.
  • Ms. Exposition: In an odd sense; though she never speaks herself, nearly every time she appears, she introduces a flashback scene that gives insight into Elon and Narrah's past as humans.
  • Secret Character: In Unholy Circle, you can play as her if you input "reflection" as your name.
  • The Speechless: She never speaks at any point.
  • Two Aliases, One Character: It is implied in Exit that "she" is the male Programmer, who's sprite is referred to as "the_watcher" and "obj_watcher" in the game files.

    Skinwalker 
A mysterious entity that possesses other characters and seeks to torment the trio. It was created in the botched ritual that Elon forced Narrah into, and then became a computer virus that disguised itself as a debugging program, only to infect the Programmer’s computer and the Party Country game.
  • Big Bad Ensemble: With Elon. It possesses and torments the characters, especially Narrah, whenever it shows up and is a recurring antagonist who is implied to be controlling the purgatory the characters are trapped in.
  • Demonic Possession: Can take control of other characters, even though they are spirits.
  • Enemy Without: It is implied that it is made of the hidden negative feelings of the characters, as it says to Narrah that “I AM YOU”, and in Episode 12 possesses Elon and Narrah and speaks their true thoughts.
  • Evil Doppelgänger: As "Evil Naarah". She only appears twice, once in Tony Crynight's CatGhost Speed Paint and Episode 8 to verbally abuse Naarah by saying that Elon doesn't love her and that she's sinful and to call the viewers nosy respectively.
  • Generic Doomsday Villain: While we know its origin (it was created in Elon’s botched ritual where a dog was sacrificed), it is never given a motive for wanting to psychologically torment the main trio. In a way, this makes it scarier and more mysterious.
  • Karma Houdini: We never see it after it taunts Elon in Episode 13, so it never receives punishment for psychologically tormenting the main characters.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: The torment it puts the main trio through winds up being the thing that makes them all have a Heel Realization, allowing them to become Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence.
  • Nightmare Face: The Skin Walker manifests as this, often while possessing or taking the form of other characters. It has empty holes instead of eyes and a mouth that looks like a crack.
  • Ominous Visual Glitch: The Skinwalker is accompanied with this usually, coupled with Radio Voice.
  • Precision F-Strike:
    Elon: Who... who are you?
    Skinwalker: {giggle} You created me. When you and that bitch fucked up the ritual.
  • Skin Walker: As the name suggests. The Skinwalker in this series is a recurring antagonistic force represented by a Nightmare Face that possesses or takes the form of other characters.

    The Council 
The heads of the village where Narrah lived. They sentenced Elon and Narrah to execution for witchcraft. Gideon was part of them while alive.
  • The Ghost: The only member we see is Gideon. The others are all off-screen.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: We never see them, and they are only sometimes mentioned, but they were the ones who executed Elon and Narrah, leading them to become trapped in purgatory- and because Gideon was a member and participated in the execution, he became trapped as well.

    Bird Dog/Azule 
An egg-shaped bird creature that Narrah takes care of after he hatches. Is hinted to be the spirit of Narrah's dog, whom she sacrificed in Elon's ritual.
  • Death of a Child: Possibly, as he died around the age of 3, but a hidden webpage url in "Window" suggests that Azule was the name of Naarah's dog who got sacrificed.

    Digging Girl 
The protagonist of the game Dark Cavern. She is a girl who was tricked into going inside the titular cavern.

    Key/Megalith/Throne 
A mysterious object that converses with the characters sometimes. It seems to know about what is going on, and has some connection to Malone. At the end of the series, once the trio have Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence, the Key breaks, revealing its true form- a rock with a face known as Throne.
  • Animate Inanimate Object: A giant, talking rock. As Throne, it is a smaller rock with an actual face.
  • Big Good: It looks over the characters and does its best to help them. After all is said and done, Malone sends it to guide other lost children throughout the universe as well.
  • Expy: Of Tool from Petscop. A strange Animate Inanimate Object that answers questions asked by the player and gives vague exposition on the story and characters. It also periodically gets possessed by other characters.
  • Mr. Exposition: It gives info on the characters whenever asked, though answers tend to be vague.
  • Voice of the Legion: Speaks with an overlapping male and female voice when in Key/Megalith form. As Throne, it speaks in a normal voice instead.

    Busts 
A collection of living busts that appear throughout the series.
  • Ambiguously Evil: Some of them serve antagonistic roles- a group of them are the antagonists of Leak- but others just stand there and don't appear to do much.
  • Animate Inanimate Object: They are living, giant busts.
  • Big Bad: A group of them serve as this for Leak, as they chase after Elon and Narrah.
  • Player Character: In Key, players are represented as this.

    Horrible Beast 
A door monster appearing in Episode 2: Knock, that will not let Gideon out until he feeds it a good joke. Also appears in Joke.
  • Animate Inanimate Object: It is a door that seems to be sentient.
  • No Sense of Humor: None of the good jokes that Gideon describes writing are liked by it, while the one it does like is a lame knock-knock joke.

    The Programmer 
I used to worry that I would never leave behind anything of value when I leave this universe but if Party Country is remembered by the few people who experienced it, and it inspires others to create new ideas and stories. Then its existence is as real as the universe that it motivated.

A Virginian man who created Party Country, a game which is implied to be the purgatory that the characters are in. He loved video games and cartoons and sought to create an edutainment game that blended both together, but it was never quite successful. He reached out to his grandma, who gave him ritual books, incantations, and an old snow globe passed through generations. The globe is implied to have contained the souls of the villagers who died, who then inhabited the game. He also downloaded a debugger called skinwalk.exe, which contained the Skin Walker.


  • Ascended Fanboy: He mentions having been a fan of games and cartoons since he was little, and wanted to make a cartoony-game for himself, hence his creation of Party Country. Sadly subverted as his game remained obscure and unsuccessful, though he notes that as long as it reached even a few people, it was worth it.
  • Two Aliases, One Character: It is implied in Exit that the Watcher is the male Programmer, who's sprite is referred to as "the_watcher" and "obj_watcher" in the game files.

Others

    Aglasis 
Protect us Algasis.

A demi-demon that Elon is implied to have scarified Narrah's dog to in exchange for immortality.


  • Greater-Scope Villain: Never appears aside from one illustration, but Elon sacrificng Narrah's dog to it in exchange for immortality is what results in them getting executed and sent to purgatory along with Gideon.

    The Ghosts 
The antagonists of Unholy Circle. They are blue ghosts who attack the village, requiring the player character to fend them off.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: Due to Unholy Circle being an Endless Game, no matter how long you fight them off, they will eventually destroy all the landmarks.
  • Big Bad: Of Unholy Circle, as they are attacking the village and are the enemies that the player must fend off.
  • Generic Doomsday Villain: They are a bunch of ghosts that attack the village, but why, and where they came from, is never explained.

    Dr. Crane 
A character mentioned in Banana as a sinister doctor who hates children and kidnaps them. Narrah says he is an old-wives-tale, akin to the boogeyman, passed around the village to keep children inside their homes at night.
  • Child Hater: It is said that he "doesn't like it when the children play".
  • Mad Doctor: The game Banana mentions he apparently visits in the middle of the night to "make things right." However, according to Naarah, he's just "an old wive's tale to keep children from going out at night."
  • Things That Go "Bump" in the Night: The message in Banana states that he visits in the middle of the night to "make things right". According to Narrah, he doesn't exist and is just a boogeyman-style figure to keep children inside the house at night.

    European Villagers 
The inhabitants of the village where the Phillips family (Gideon, Bethany, and Narrah) lived. The known inhabitants mentioned in Banana are Laura, Karen, Jefforey Laggart, Sarah, Samuel R., R. Dudley (possibly Robert D., as they have the same initials), Rosie, and Mrs. Candel.
  • Death of a Child: Possibly Jefforey, as it is mentioned that he "was a fine boy"; if "boy" is not metaphorical, and if the speaker was not referring to him growing up and becoming a man, it means that he was a boy who died.
  • The Ghost: They are mentioned in the game Banana, but never appear physically in the series.
  • Posthumous Character: Samuel R. and R. Dudley are both confirmed dead. Karen and Jeffory are implied to have died, as Karen is said to have been "the first to go", while it is stated that Jefforey "was a fine boy".

    Native American Villagers 
The inhabitants of a village in Midnight that Bethany stole Narrah from.
  • Hero Antagonist: They are the antagonists of Midnight who try to kill Bethany, but only because Bethany is trying to kidnap a baby from their village.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: They only appear in one game, but Narrah, one of the main trio of characters in the series, was born and stolen from them.
