    Born Again in the Awake World 

Anya Rusakova/Annabel, Queen of Flowers

A plucky, kind girl traumatized due to her parents' strained relationship. In her past life, she was the majestic-looking but very gentle Queen of Flowers.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: She is very nice and friendly, but she will get very angry if you try to harm her friends (or just bully anyone).
  • Free-Range Children: After her aunt unexpectedly finds a highly lucrative job in another city, Anya lives alone at the age of eleven. It's later revealed to be Klingzor's doing.
  • Green Thumb: Annabel, the Queen of Flowers, can communicate with plants (all her plants are sapient), help them grow, and even resurrect them if they die (though the latter ability has its limits).
  • New Transfer Student: After moving away from Moscow to Zaraysk, she transfers to a new school as well, meeting the rest of the characters there.
  • Silk Hiding Steel: Both physically and mentally. She looks very fragile but is quite strong-willed and a gifted volleyball player.

Masha Myshkina/Spring Dream/Forget-Me-Not

A shy, kind-hearted girl who befriends Anya. In the past life, she was a shy, sweet flower, and, before that, Spring Dream, the woman Titurel was in love with.
  • Damsel in Distress:
    • In the chapter where she is introduced, she gets beaten up by Muzzle, and Anya and Fyodor rush to her defense.
    • She gets abducted by Klingzor twice:
      • In the backstory, Spring Dream was abducted by Kilngzor, which was the reason why Aluvel and Titorel attacked Dum-Durg to save her.
      • In the second half of the story, Klingzor forcibly puts Masha into coma via drugs, so he can send her to Dum-Durg; she has to be saved by the heroes.
  • Deal with the Devil: Forget-Me-Not makes the mistake of offering her soul in return for Burdock gaining wings, so that he can prevent the Passion Flower from escaping and dooming the Dream Land. Uglind overhears it, and tells Klingzor about it, and the latter, years later, uses it to force Masha into compliance with his plan.
  • Meaningful Name: Her surname, "Myshkina" (from "mysh", a mouse); she's small, shy and quiet, but also curious.
  • Shrinking Violet: She's a very shy and gentle girl, especially at the start.
  • Took a Level in Badass: She becomes much more resilient over the course of the story.

Fyodor Streltsov/Titurel/Burdock

An honorable, brave boy with iron will. In the past life, he was a flower Burdock, and, before that, one of Aluvel's followers, the knight Titurel.
  • Determinator: His defining trait: no matter what, he never, ever gives up; neither as Burdock, nor as Fyodor.
  • Disappeared Dad: Fyodor's father was killed in a war (judging from the time when the novel was written and his age, most likely the Chechen War).
  • Unchosen One: Fedya Streltsov was never intended to become one of the heroes protecting Anya (Ali was); he just ended up in the right place at the right time, and instinctively followed her into fading "ice flow" of her dream instead of staying on his own and perishing. He does fulfil the task nonetheless. Then turns out that he's a reincarnation of Titurel, one of original heroes who opposed Klingzor back in the days, while Ali actually is in league with him.

Ali Mukhammedov/Khalif Aziz

A quiet and proud transfer student. In the past life, he was a young man from the Land-Under-Sky with (unrequited) interest to Annabel.
  • Abhorrent Admirer: Aziz tries to hit on Annabel, the Queen of Flowers, but makes mistakes such as dismissing the (sapient) plants as "expendable" when his flying horse lands on them, and even trying to collect the flowers and gift them to Annabel, which she compares to murder. He ignores Annabel's concerns, thinking that she worries about something "insignificant".
  • The Chosen One: Subverted. He quickly gets set up as one of the heroes who're supposed to follow Anya on her journey, but gets into trouble himself. Then it turns out that he's actually in league with Klingzor.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Many of Aziz's actions are motivated by jealousy. He was jealous about Annabel caring for Titurel/Burdock, until he found out that the latter's heart belonged to another. He is even jealous of the Passion Flower, even though Annabel's feelings for the latter, and vice versa, are purely platonic.
  • Happily Adopted: When Ali's father Said gets assassinated by Anatoly Kim due to being too active in searching for Ali (and to distract the investigation), Masha learns that Ali was actually adopted; the people discussing the killing (Said was a leader of the local Muslim community) comment that not many are able to love their own children like Said loved his adopted son.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: After being called out on dismissing Annabel's subjects as "just the plants", Aziz apologises and admits that he may be an arrogant jerk at times... and then continues acting like arrogant jerk and calls Annabel out on "being silly" in believing in dreams and working with something "insignificant", while making him look like a fool due to trying to play along with her "delusions". This kills what little chances he still had with her.
  • Mr. Exposition: Aziz shows up in the penultimate chapter (after being absent for near entirety of the story) and finally fills up the gaps in the backstory, like the fate of Titurel and Spring Dream, the fate of Wrapper and Glung, and more. The actual final fight takes less time than the exposition.
  • New Transfer Student: He only recently moved to this school.
  • Prince Charmless: Khalif Aziz makes all the wrong moves when trying to hit on Annabel, the Queen of Flowers — harming her subjects (the sapient plants), gifting her flowers he just collected right here, calling her subjects "just the plants", and dismissing her worries as "misplaced" — and when she understandably turns him down (not that she had any interest in him even before this), he blames her for "making him look like a fool" due to "forcing" him into playing along with her "delusions".
  • Telepathy: Ali has some weak mind-reading abilities. It's how he busted Imp trying to put the drugs into his bag.

Bidiya Sansaron/Badmai

A Buryat boy who just arrived from Buddhist monastery. Not much is known about his past life, except that he achieved nirvana, but was temped to leave it when Annabel introduced him to the smell of violets.
  • Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Inverted; he was already on some higher plane, but deliberately chose to descend back and become a human again, realising that the world needs his help. To his surprise, he realised that he now needs to learn again how to be a human, and how to not lose himself in process of learning, which justifies why he needs Sushchy as a teacher. In the end of the story, he decides to quit the monastery, remembering what Annabel has shown him and realising that nirvana is empty, and thus is devoid of beauty; and the life devoid of beauty is devoid of meaning.
  • The Chosen One: Double Subverted. He was chosen long time ago as one of the heroes to follow Anna in her mission in the Dream Land, but the events escalate too quickly and he misses the chance to do so. However, he does help her from the Awake World by assisting those staying behind in stopping the "Mentor" (who wants to conquer the Dream Land with the people who share his views) and depriving Klingzor of the drugs he wants to use to enslave humanity.
  • Meaningful Name: Bidiya, the only buddhist in the cast (and one of Suschiy's students) just so happens to have a surname "Sansaron" — from "Sansara", the wheel of reincarnation. In the story where reincarnation is one of the major themes.
  • New Transfer Student: He only recently moved to Zaraysk, previously living in Buddhist monastery.

Eduard "Imp" Obernibesov/Glung/The Passion Flower

An academically brilliant student who also happens to be a self-absorbed bully. In the past life, he was the archeosaurus Glung, Glong's wicked brother, and later the Passion Flower (half-flower, half-dragon) who was convinced to join Klingzor's side.
  • Beauty Is Bad: Incredibly handsome as a human and the school's main bully.
  • Big Brother Bully: Glung constantly abused his little brother Glong (now better known as Wrapper), out of fear that otherwise the other archeosauruses would believe that he likes him, and start attacking Glung himself.
  • Big Jerk on Campus: Eduard "Imp" Obernibesov, the resident Jerk Jock with rich and powerful father (a politician), who believes that his powerful father would solve any problems he may get into, who attracts all kinds of think alike assholes to himself.
  • The Dragon: Initially, Klingzor has Imp as his right-hand man (which would make him a literal example, as he's a reincarnation of the archeosaurus Glung), but later installs Ali/Aziz in his place, as he proved himself just too competent to ignore.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: The Passion Flower's hatred towards Burdock is motivated by a platonic version of the trope -– he thought that Annabel dedicated too much time to some pathetic weed instead of him. Uglind and Death's Head exploited it to set him against Annabel.
  • In-Series Nickname: Nickname "Imp" originates from his surname (Obernibesov;"Bes" means "Imp" in Russian).
  • Jerk Jock: Imp is the main sportsman in the school (amongst the other things, he's trained judoist), and he's extremely arrogant.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite acting like Big Brother Bully for his little brother Glong (better known as Wrapper) to avoid being suspected in liking him, and even nearly killing him at one point, Glung (whom we also know as Passion Flower and Imp) ultimately sacrifices his life to save him from injuries, after which Wrapper takes up his place as the new Passion Flower. Even Fyodor (who was always on heated terms with Imp) admits that he was better than anyone thought.
  • Last of His Kind: With Wrapper's apparent death, Glung became the last living fantasaur.

Nonna "Muzzle" Mordar'/Death's Head

The resident bully, abusing girls weaker than her (namely Masha). In the past life, she was the Death's Head, an evil giant moth serving Klingzor. One of Imp's allies.
  • The Brute: Out of three bullies, she's physically the strongest, as well as the dumbest. And her Dream World form is that of massive murderous moth.
  • The Bully: Muzzle abuses those weaker than her, ranging from other students (particularly Masha) to even some teachers (namely, "Sklerotic").
  • The Corruptor: Death's Head moth and Uglind the worm were the ones who convinced the Passion Flower to turn against the Queen of Flowers and become evil. Now, those three are known as Muzzle, Pimple and Imp respectively.
  • Fat Bitch: Muzzle is fat, ugly and likes to abuse those weaker than her.
  • In-Series Nickname: Nickname "Muzzle" originates from her surname (it's one letter away from "Morda" — "a muzzle").
  • Meaningful Name: You would normally associate the word "Muzzle" with animals; Nonna Mordar' is big, ugly and aggressive.
  • Moth Menace: As Death's Head, she's a massive ugly and murderous moth.

Serafim "Pimple" Pryshchov/Uglind

One of Imp's allies; what he lacks in strength, he takes in toxicity.
  • The Bully: He likes to abuse those weaker than himself, and has particularly hostile relationship with Fyodor.
  • The Corruptor: Uglind the worm, along with Death's Head moth, were the ones who convinced the Passion Flower to turn against the Queen of Flowers and become evil. Now, those three are known as Pimple, Muzzle and Imp respectively.
  • In-Series Nickname: Nickname "Pimple" is based on his surname, "Pryschev" (from "Prysch" — "a pimple").
  • Lean and Mean: Pimple is tall, slim and has highly toxic personality.
  • Meaningful Name: You would normally associate the word "Pimple" with something nasty and filled with filth; Serafim Pryschov is ugly jerk known for spreading filth.
  • Sssssnake Talk: In his worm form (both the initial one, and the hybrid one he gained after returning to the Dream Land), Pimple is tend to prolong "s" in his speech. In his hybrid form, he even gains snake-like tongue.
  • Sycophantic Servant: Most of the time, Pimple acts as Imp's lackey and Yes-Man, who tries to please him.

Vladimir "Fatso" Koshcheev/Camelot/The Lonesome Knight

An eleventh-year student and successful drug dealer. In the past life, he was a fabled knight, believed to be dead after a bloody battle with the forces of the Abyss.
  • The Big Guy: Camelot doesn't know how to use the will-swords, but he's tough, strong and has the normal blade (and a chainmail), which serves him well enough. His companions are Fyodor (who knows how to use the will-blade, but is nowhere as tough) and Anya (who isn't much of a combatant for the better part of the story).
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: "Fatso" is actually the result of Klingzor brainwashing Camelot (through his Black Mirror) and reincarnating him like this in the Awake World. Once he falls into a coma alongside Anya and Fedya, he snaps out of it and returns to his true self.
  • Hero with Bad Publicity: Justified. Camelot/Vladimir wants to become a cop after growing up. Sergey Ivanov is ready to take him as his intern, but there's a problem: as "Fatso", Vladimir was a drug dealer. So now Sergey needs the other kids as witnesses to confirm that yes, Vladimir has changed for the better, as his boss wouldn't be easy to convince.
  • Ironic Nickname: Fatso is not only not fat, but is also a skilled judoist. As added irony, his surname is Koscheev, which would normally bring associations with someone Lean and Mean.

    The Dream Land (including the islands) 

Aluvel "The Dreamer"/Raven

An elderly magician, now mostly living in seclusion on Imagination Island.
  • Big Good: He's the one who gathers the heroes against Klingzor, both in backstory and in the main plot. Later, he personally leads them.
  • Clever Crows: In the early chapters, he only appears as a wise raven.
  • Got Me Doing It: After spying on Fatso and his cronies, he spends an entire chapter occasionally lapsing into Thieves' Cant.
  • In-Series Nickname:
    • He was commonly known under title of "The Dreamer" in the past.
    • Anna initially calls him simply "the Raven", which he accepts, as it's easier for them both.
    • Sergei Ivanov, who's annoyed by his jumping training, stubbornly calls him "Penguin", for him being a black bird which forces him to jump on ice flows.
  • Mr. Exposition: Much of the help from Aluvel comes in the form of information about the Dream Land, its history and how it works, often resulting in entire chapters of exposition.
  • The Smart Guy: For much of the story, Aluvel stays in the raven form, which prevents him from assisting directly, but he helps the others through his guidance and explanations how things goes in the Dream Land.
  • Sole Survivor: Aluvel is the sole participant of the first battle against Klingzor who survived and avoided falling into Abyss, due to gaining ability to transform into a raven. Both Titurel and Spring Dream have perished, though they were later reincarnated.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: He can turn into a raven at will.
  • Willfully Weak: Downplayed. Being one of the creators of the Dream Land, Aluvel can do almost anything within it, even overwrite its rules, but prefers to not use his powers excessively, especially when something more simple would do the thing just as well, stating that being too excessive with the miracles diminishes their value.

Izilda

Living boat.

Wrapper/Glong/The New Passion Flower

A former archeosaurus and the only one to have transformed into a fantasaurus naturally.
  • Last of His Kind: Wrapper (and later his brother) are the last fantasaurs, of the very first generation; the rest slowly died out, as each new generation was more and more plant-like until they finally mutated into the flowers and other plants completely.
  • My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Wrapper was the only archeosaur who loved flowers and wanted some beauty in life, instead of growing up crude and aggressive like the rest of them. Realising that he's not gonna find any support amongst his kind, he chose to leave the Abyss — and succeed.
  • Non-Human Sidekick: He was Camelot's faithful companion in the war against Klingzor.
  • Objectshifting: When he is mortally wounded, he turns into a ring and stay that way for the majority of the book.
  • Posthumous Character: In backstory, Wrapper sacrificed his life to give his friend Kamelot a chance to survive. However, it gets subverted in the end of the story, as it turns out that he was sealed within the ring Anya carried around since beginning of the part two, and he survives in the end due to Imp's Heroic Sacrifice.
  • Punny Name: "Fantik", if taken literally, means "candy wrapper" (which is how Wrapper actually got this nickname — due to bright and multicoloured scales), but it also sounds similar to the word "fantasaur" (which was made up after the nickname).

Mirabel, Queen of Knowledge

One of the Dream Land's founders, now living on the Island of the Seven Springs.
  • Mr. Exposition: In both her appearances, Mirabel serves to provide backstory and explain how things works there.

Güntz

One of the Dream Land inhabitants.
  • Mr. Exposition: She shares some details about how the Dream Land works, but otherwise plays minor role.

The Five Sisters

Annabel sisters.
  • The Ghost: Other sisters besides Mirabel, the Queen of Knowledge, never gets neither shown nor named.

    The Awake World 
Some of the Awake characters have Flower Land counterparts but do not appear in the Dream Land.

Captain Sergey Sergeevich Ivanov

A policeman who starts investigating the disappearance of Marya Ivanovna and gets tangled in a way more difficult case.
  • Badass Normal: Unlike either Anya or Fyodor, he never develops ability to use will-sword. He guns down the monsters with conventional weapons.
  • Big Damn Heroes: He finally joins in the final battle against Klingzor's minions and provides much-needed assistance. With a machine-gun, no less. Downplayed, however, since his machine-gun doesn't work against the Heroins, and Klingzor uses Masha as a human shield.
  • Booze-Based Buff: Normally, to come into the Dream Land, one needs to either sleep, be high on drugs, or meditate. He comes there by getting drunk. We only learn about the way he did this after the adventure is over, which somewhat negates the awesomeness of his Big Damn Heroes moment.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Sergey Ivanov, a police captain, trusts Anya and later Masha (within reason), as he clearly sees that something weird does happen whenever "Professor Zero" is involved, and follows their advices (like keeping the pig in his house for her safety). He even believes in Zero's mind control powers, interpreting them as hypnosis. Aluvel visiting him in his dreams to educate him helps too.

Pyotr Petrovich Sushchy

A psychologist whose lessons are attended by Bidiya, Anya and later Masha.
  • Basement-Dweller: He still lives with his mother, and, judging by their interactions, he's Momma's Boy whose mother doesn't understand the word "no".
  • The Dog Was the Mastermind: Downplayed. While not the mastermind outright, Sushchiy is "the electrician", who just turns on the light for all the scenes in the Dream Land (this is how he learned about the events in Dum-Durg despite not yet being told about them). What this means is up to interpretations, but it's clear that he knows much more than he's willing to tell.
  • Meaningful Name: The person in charge of the special "psychology courses for children" is named Pyotr Leonidovich Suschiy, with his surname being based on the old-fashioned word which roughly means "something existing". Not only those courses are actually dedicated to philosophy rather than psychology, majority of the topics he discusses are related to the purpose of life.
  • Momma's Boy: He still lives with his mother, and is very obedient to her.

Anatoly Yevgenyevich Kim/Mentor

The elderly, nearsighted P.E. teacher, or so he would let everyone believe.
  • Above Good and Evil: He believes that he's above "good" and "evil", as his "mission" is more complex than that. While the sincerity of his "mission" is highly questionable, Bidiya confirms the view itself and says that it's his main weakness, as he can't clearly see either good or evil, only the "neutral" emotions: he can see neither Masha when she feels wrath for him hurting her friends (until she starts feeling pride over attacking Kim without resistance, as if she's that powerful), nor Bidiya once he suppresses his own pride; he can't even clearly see Klingzor, as the latter's too evil.
  • Bond Villain Stupidity: He makes the classic villain mistake, talking too much about his plans and motives instead of just offing the heroes. While he doesn't reveal anything important for them to use against him, the talk itself buys Bidiya some time to break free (he was isolated from the world and trapped in his mind) and kick Kim's ass. Unfortunately, Kim himself manages to escape.
  • Cult: If Klingzor is used to show the children that Drugs Are Bad, Kim is a clear example of how sects are working; behind the idea of "salvation" and promised paradise, there's an ambitious villain who sees the people around themselves as tools to use and discard, all so that they would come into power. Anatoly poses as a Buddhist guru but doesn't share the ideals: it's just an easy cover for his true agenda. To achieve his goals, he cooperates with Klingzor, and sees nothing wrong with it.
  • The Dog Was the Mastermind: The seemingly unremarkable P.E. teacher with goofy nickname turns out to be Klingzor's co-conspirator, who causes much troubles to heroes in the Awake World.
  • The Dragon: In the Awake World, he aids Klingzor in his plan by supplying him with the drugs, and plans to get his own share of souls once it completes.
  • Evil Mentor: He is Bidiya's mentor but actually uses this position to manipulate people. The reason why he chose Buddhism as a cover for his schemes is likely because its teachings are easy to twist into his own philosophy. Bidiya suspected something even back at the monastery, as he learned some techniques he chose to keep secret from his mentor, which ultimately saves his life.
  • In-Series Nickname: A Russian-Korean P.E. teacher got nicknamed "Our Answer to Jackie Chan".
  • Karma Houdini: Anatoly "Mentor" Kim manages to escape, avoiding justice.
  • Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: At first, it's easy to assume from Mentor's discussion with Klingzor that he sincerely believes that all of this may "save" some people, even if he has to drug them to salvation by force, with half of them dying and becoming Klingzor's puppets (such as the price of cooperation). But later, after failing to convince Suschiy to his cause, he reveals that he doesn't care about the people, whom he openly despises and considers to be just the resources to exploit for those who have the willpower to raise above them, and his true goal involves taking over the Land-Under-Sky — the world which borders with the Dream Land as some sort of Good Counterpart to the Abyss — and corrupting it to his liking; and all the talks about "salvation" are just the rhetoric. Suschiy says that he's worse than Klingzor.

Marya "Blot" Ivanovna/Man'ka

The Maths teacher and class tutor, hated by everyone for her horrible teaching skills and hysterical nature.
  • Alas, Poor Villain: Downplayed, as Blot is more of a jerk than a true villain, but her situation is portrayed as a tragedy rather than Laser-Guided Karma (no matter how symbolic her Forced Transformation is), and the main characters feel sorry for her rather than rejoice (particularly because she still has a mother who's worrying about her).
  • Forced Transformation: Blot gets transformed into a pig early in the story, and only gets changed back by its end.
  • Heel–Face Turn: After turning human again, Blot becomes much kinder and more polite towards her students.
  • In-Series Nickname: Students call her "Blot", for her habit of using any excuses to unfairly lower grades, particularly ink blots.
  • Picky Eater: While in the pig form, she's ridiculously picky in what she agrees to eat, to the point that she would rather starve than eat potatoes, resulting in her losing much of her weight (which persists even when she becomes human again). This is one of the reasons why Sergey Ivanov (who was forced to babysit her all this time) nearly hates her.
  • Sadistic Teacher: She got her nickname "Blot" for her habit of using any excuse, whatever ridiculous, to lower your grade, even if it's not related to math, particularly ink blots. She's universally hated by the students, including well-graders, and it's not hard to see why.

Antonina Petrovna

The principal.
  • Dean Bitterman: She's the school's principal with very ugly personality who finds it normal to yell at the students and stating that they would end up in jail for any minor screwups.
  • Suddenly Shouting: Antonina Petrovna is infamous for her habit to start asking students who screw up somehow in a high, raspy voice "so what we would do with you now?", then suddenly start yelling at them while spitting saliva, saying that "[they] would end up in jail".

Pyotr "Sclerotic" Petrovich

Geography teacher. Go-to target for abuse by students due to his bad memory and near-sightness.
  • Blind Without 'Em: Besides bad memory, he has bad eyesight. This makes him a target of cruel prank by Muzzle, who tricks him into stepping on own glasses.
  • Forgetful Jones: He's tend to forget things (the current topic, his papers, his glasses, etc), hence his mocking nickname "Sclerotic".
  • In-Series Nickname: Combination of his poor memory and Meaningful Name got him nicknamed "Sclerotic", which is very rude and insulting.
  • Meaningful Name: "Nepomnyaschiy" literally means "oblivious"; he has poor memory.

Anya's Aunt

Anya's aunt, who took care of her while Anya's parents are on the brink of divorce, both to protect her and to help the two calm down.
  • The Ghost: She's not in the town, being away due to just getting new job, so Anya has to live by herself. Justified, as the villains intentionally set up for her not being around, so she wouldn't intervene into their plans.

    Dum-Durg and the Abyss 

Klingzor

The main antagonist of the story, an evil wizard ruling over a land constructed of drug hallucinations, nightmares, and drug addicts' souls.
  • Attention Whore: According to Aluvel, Klingzor is addicted to looking "cool" no matter what, which actually looks rather cheap (like his "Professor Zero" cover story). This also explains his love of acting overly dramatic.
  • Big Bad: He's the main villain of the story, who's trying to destroy the Dream Land to get rid of competition, so his kingdom Dum-Durg would attract more naive souls for him to enslave; and the way he gets souls involves drugs. All the other villains are related to him in one way or another.
  • Demonic Possession: Klingzor can possess the bodies of humans in the wake world, allowing him to interact with it (he can't visit it personally). For now, he can only possess the bodies of the people who have a similar mindset (read: villainous). However, if he's allowed to gather more power, he would be able to control anyone.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: He has some issues with controlling his anger, as he's prone to starting Suddenly Shouting at random.
  • Mind Control: Klinzgor can control the people's minds when looking them into eyes, while also slowly corrupting them with his "black mirror" spell.
  • Obviously Evil:
    • In his true form, Klingzor looks like a skeleton in crimson cloak.
    • Subverted with Professor Zero (a body Klingzor uses to manifest himself in the wake world); Anna sees him as a creepy old man with weird eyes, including one seemingly blind, but this is an effect of Klingzor's true form briefly showing through his disguise and mixing with it. He's rather ordinary and pathetic without Klingzor.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: "Professor Zero" is obviously not a real name — Klingzor just likes to look "cool"; the real name of the host is unknown. It later gets revealed that "Professor" is actually his criminal nickname, as he's a drug dealer.
  • Super-Empowering: Klingzor can share some of his powers with his minions, which they're able to use even in the wake world.

The Archeosaurus Mother

The mother of Glong and Glung.
  • Good Is Bad And Bad Is Good: Everything that's beautiful and nice to people is ugly and stinky to her. She only grudgingly allows Glong to play with a rose after discovering the rose has sharp thorns that can prickle one painfully.

The Lilianas

Klingzor's beastly minions.
  • Botanical Abomination: Lialianas (a Portmanteau of the words "lilies" and "lianas") are half-plant, half-animal monsters from the Abyss, loyal to Klingzor, who catch their prey and suck their bodies dry.
  • It Can Think: Lilianas are sentient, at the very least, and actively malicious.
  • Vampiric Draining: Once they catch their prey, they suck them dry.
