The Warriors for Hire
Prohyas Warrior
Voiced by Kyle Carrozza
One half of Warriors For Hire and brother of Vambre Warrior. Though he's always eager for a battle, Prohyas tends to be more empathetic and compassionate than his more masculine sister. He cares a lot for his magiswords and hence he shares a close relationship with both Dolphin Magisword and Zombie Pumpkin Magisword.- Berserk Button: He gets annoyed when someone implies that he isn't manly.
- Big Eater: He tends to binge on junk food whenever possible.
- Blood Knight: Can be applied to both siblings, but Prohyas appears to be less of this than Vambre, showing less interest in violence.
- Catchphrase: "I have best plan!", "Cheese and crackers", "Sweet monkey chunky bunky!", "Nope nope nope nope nope nope!", "Noooooooo!" (whining), "The problems are multifold!", "YOU HORRIBLE LITTLE..." (in retaliation to whomever stubbornly makes helping the Warriors difficult), "Uuuuuuuuummmm Vambre? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmm Vambre?", "Vaaaaambre? Vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmbre?" and "I DO WHAT I WANT!"
- Chaste Hero: Had no interest in romance nor affection until meeting Penny Plasm, claiming he didn't even know what the word meant. He seems to like it just fine now, though...
- Curtains Match the Window: Normally, his eyes are depicted as black, but certain expressions show that his irises are the same shade of blue as his hair.
- Does Not Like Spam: He doesn't like having to eat broccoli.
- Evil Twin: He suffers this trope in the form of his counterpart Nohyas, with a Running Gag that Nohyas often makes up stories based on Prohyas' life.
- Genius Ditz: He's shown to be equal parts crafty and goofy.
- When hired to destroy a giant Smashroom that was threatening their client's home, Prohyas tries to cheer up Zombie Pumpkin so he can destroy it. Vambre tries to slow it down by covering it with a giant wicker basket, and then stuffing its mouth with gum. The Smashroom eats both of them, since they're technically made from trees. Prohyas points this out, saying that Vambre didn't pay attention in Arboretum class. She responds that he didn't pay attention in anything else.
- Hair Reboot: When his hair gets damaged, he can instantly grow it back by blowing on his thumb.
- Heroic Build: Prohyas is fairly strapping and sinewy.
- In Touch with His Feminine Side:
- He is very caring towards his magiswords, especially Dolphin Magisword. Vambre notes that he has a mother's instinct, but he insists that he's manly.
- He willingly lets Princess Zange try outfits on him in a women's clothing store. ... for a while.
- Jerk Ass Ball: Prohyas grabs hold of this in the episode "Ain't That A Kick In The Side?" where Witch Way bullies Prohyas for supposedly being Vambre's sidekick, causing Prohyas to snap and act completely domineering and dismissive of Vambre during their mission (even causing and letting Vambre get physically harmed) to assert himself as "the main character". It all culminates with Vambre calling Prohyas out for his bizzarely rude and overshadowing behavior, saying he's behaving like "An absolute Morbidia" to which the temple boss and the P.A woman agree on and say he should be a "Vambre, not a Morbidia.". Prohyas interprets this to mean that to be the "main character" he needs to behave ''just like Vambre'', which he does by using Monster Suit Magisword to don a Vambre mascot costume and imitating her accent, her vernacular (even saying words like "Cheerio" and "Baulderdash" which Vambre never says, her love of Veronica Victorious and her hatred of pants, all of come off as a mean-spirited mockery of Vambre.
- Naturally, Vambre gets angered by this farcical impersonation and resolves to stick to the sidelines and let Prohyas handle the mission by himself. Prohyas at first is delighted to be "the main character", but when Witch Way appears and beats him up proving themselves more than he can handle by himself, he tearfully apolgizes to Vambre saying he's not fit to be the main character. Vambre then tells him that she never considered anyone "the main character," they're both equals in everything they do together. This gives Prohyas enough of a confidence boost to realize he doesn't need to be a leader to be important and happily works with Vambre.
- Leitmotif: Shares one with Vambre that plays throughout most of the series.
- Manchild: Prohyas is loud, hyperactive, fond of stuffing his face with junk food, scared of the dentist, frequently performs made-up songs on his accordion magisword and delights in poking fun at Vambre. However, that hardly makes him any less efficient in combat.
- Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: The feminine boy to Vambre's masculine girl.
- Nice Guy: He's rather sweet and polite.
- Organ Autonomy: Like Vambre's brain, his stomach is sentient and can take over when he's tired and hungry enough. After a period of particularly unhealthy eating, it can completely override him to find something of actual nutritional value.
- Pungeon Master: He's fond of making puns.
- Real Men Wear Pink: He occasionally wears a pink apron around their house but will always insists that he's "MANLY!" whenever someone takes notice of his "feminine qualities."
- Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training: Like his sister Vambre Prohyas is very skilled with magiswords and can use them in creative ways but struggles with every day tasks if deprived of them. Extremely notable when he couldn't perform basic fencing forms despite the fact that his weapons of choice are all magical swords.
- Team Mom: The "MATRON OF HONOR", as he refers himself, has quite the mother's instinct.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Prohyas seems to love slugburgers, since he eats at Slugburger's and has the Excaliburger Magisword.
- Verbal Tic: Prohyas has "Hey!" He acknowledges this trope directly in "Can I Keep It?" when Vambre explains that "Hey" is the word in slime language for "split in two."Prohyas: Hey, I understand. I have a Verbal Tic, which means I can't be around the little guy, or I'll flood the kingdom with slimes.
- Weapon Specialization: The Dolphin Magisword and Accordion Magisword are his signature magiswords, with the former also doubling as his pet.
- Also, Zombie Pumpkin Magisword.
Vambre Warrior
Voiced by Grey DeLisle
One half of Warriors For Hire and Prohyas' elder sister. She's more masculine than her brother and possesses a fondness for books, specifically the Veronica Victoria series. She speaks with an inexplicable British accent.- Added Alliterative Appeal: Prefers her alliteration of Prohyas' puns.
- Badass Bookworm: Reading is one of her favorite hobbies and she seems to retain much more knowledge on obscure matters than her brother and kicks just as much ass in addition.
- Berserk Button: Quite a few, actually:
- Don't ever try to harm her little brother.
- Don't do or say anything to debase the Veronica Victoria book series as she is a major fan. Morbidia and Gateaux learned that the hard way.
- Never ask her to put on some pants. In fact, try not to mention anything resembling pants in front of her and under no circumstances ever put pants on her... Really, don't.
- Big Sister Instinct: She's very protective of her younger brother Prohyas when anyone mocks him. She also shows this when a herd of evil squirrels attempt to attack Prohyas on stage."STAY AWAY FROM MY BROTHER!!!"
- Blood Knight: Likes to fight more than even her brother (who at least was hesitant to fight a dragon) and more often than not deliberately chooses more difficult/dangerous options purely for the thrill.
- Brainless Beauty: Temporarily becomes this when her own brain abandons her.
- Catchphrase: "Och!", "Eee!", "Word!", "Boooooooo!", "Oh NO! You DID NOT!" "Let's shall" on occasion, and "Dear brother" towards Prohyas when she's in a pleasant mood.
- Cultured Bad Ass: Vambre prefers tea over coffee, loves reading, especially the Veronica Victorious novels, has a vocabulary slightly more refined than Prohyas or anyone else in the show and speaks with an upper-class British accent on top of being an adrenaline junkie, an avid Magisword collector and fighter, and a parkour extraordinaire.
- Does Not Like Spam: Doesn't like Slugburgers and doesn't consider them real food (Prohyas actually doesn't think they're real food either, but that doesn't stop him).
- Exposed to the Elements: Doesn't matter how cold things get. She still refuses to wear pants. During a trip in Translyberia, Prohyas mistakenly thinks she's wearing blue tights when her legs have actually turned blue due to this trope.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Subverted. She likes to think of herself as the responsible elder sibling, but her own foibles can be just as bad as her brother's.
- Genius Ditz: Though she's a bit smarter and more serious than Prohyas, she's almost just as goofy.
- Hartman Hips: Vambre has a fairly impressive set of these and she even references this in "The Saga of Robo Piggeh"Vambre (confused):"Far out? Is Ryboflavain really that far from here?"Prohyas: "Don't be so square, Vams. Get with the lingo."Vambre: "I understand the limbo perfectly, Prohyas. And my hips are fine, thanks."
- Hero Antagonist: There are two episodes in which Vambre is on opposing forces with Prohyas. One of which being "Fixing A Flonk" in which after the titular Flonk (one of the Warrior's childhood bullies) barges into Slugburger's and disturbs everyone's dining experience by being loud, grossing out the customers and smearing an ice cream cone all over Spoony when he tells Flonk to get out to which everyone else agrees. This culminates in Spoony calling Prohyas and Vambre for back-up and Vambre is ready to pound him before Prohyas stops her and says they should instead try to help Flonk find a venue where he can use his stand-up for beneficial purposes. Vambre denies Flonk has good in him and refuses to help them. Giving Prohyas and Flonk 24 hours to find a legit venue for Flonk with a content audience or else she'll turn Flonk over to Officer Fordor.
- The most egregious being "For The Love Of Narwhal" in which Vambre verbally mistreats Darlin' Narwhal Magisword and causes her to cry. (Yeah, her as not only is Darlin' Narwhal sentient like Zombie Pumpkin and Dolphin Magisword, but she has the mindset and mannerisms of a baby, making Vambre's out-of-character behavior worse). It leads to Vambre tossing Darlin' Narwhal away, but thankfully Prohyas catches her and lovingly takes her under his wing, even teaching her to use her love-spreading powers as a powerful combative move. Vambre gets angry and calls Prohyas a "Magisword thief" and goes to extreme lengths to get Darlin'' Narwhal back now that she's useful in combat. Thankfully Vambre tearfully apologizes for mistreating Darlin' Narwhal and trying to damage Prohyas and Darlin' narwhal's loving relationship, and goes to more extreme lengths to make it up to Prohyas which mildly creeps him out.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Vambre may be blunt, a bit of a Deadpan Snarker and a total Blood Knight, but she is a good-hearted person who'll whole-heartedly show compassion to anyone she cares about (even Gateaux), especially her friends and her little brother.
- The Lad-ette: Aside from her love of reading Veronica Victorious novels, Vambre's other known interests include beating things up, riding her Hoverboard Magi Sword and going on adventures with her brother. As such, she's completely uninterested in things that don't involve that (such as fashion). In "Case Clothed", she had no idea what "girl time" meant and was absolutely irritated when Princess Zange made her try on clothes.
- Leitmotif: She shares one with Prohyas that plays throughout most of the series.
- Leotard of Power: Vambre wears one because she doesn't like wearing pants.
- Le Parkour: She "vanquishes" Grup by displaying some very hardcore parkour (which Grup is unable to replicate).
- Loud of War: Generally uses the Oinkus Oinkus Magisword to stun any opponents with sonic oinking.
- Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: The masculine girl to Prohyas' feminine boy.
- Ms. Fanservice: Just look at her attire and curves! Vambre also has a pair of long shapely legs and her absolute refusal to wear any pants at any time mean they're always on display.
- Oblivious to Love: She seems to be the only person in Rhyboflavin who doesn't realize that Noville is madly in love with her.
- Organ Autonomy: She often argues with her own brain.
- Produce Pelting: Is prone to using her Tomato Magisword to pelt anyone that offends her with lame puns or bad theatre.
- Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training: Like her brother Prohyas Vambre is very skilled with magiswords and can use them in creative ways but struggles with everyday tasks if deprived of them. Extremely notable when she couldn't perform basic fencing forms despite the fact that her weapons of choice are all magical swords.
- Team Dad: Vambre is quite a bit more strict than the nurturing Prohyas.
- Tomboy with a Girly Streak: While she's the Team Dad of Warriors For Hire, she's also done some rather girly mannerisms in some of the shorts and the series. Examples include wearing a dress as a child, her friendship with Princess Zange, addressing her friends as "darling" and "dearheart" and Prohyas as "dear brother" and cooing over Goomer reuniting with an anklosauraus whom we later learn is actually King Rexxtopher's sister's best friend's child Franklo in "The Land Before Slime" and the snowmanpire babies, even when one of them bites her finger and sucks on it.
- Trauma Button: She is terrified of squirrels since childhood. The sight of one freaks her out. In "Squirreled Domination", she had to deal with a tree full of them while Prohyas was sick.
- Unexplained Accent: She has a British accent and uses appropriated cultural phrases that nobody else on the show, including her brother and parents, does for no explained reason.
- In one vlog, Prohyas mentions that Vambre sometimes talks in her sleep without her accent.
- In one flashback of "Random Acts of Memory", she blurts out in an American accent that her British accent isn't real after getting shot in the mouth with "truth-paste".
- A flashback episode to their childhood reveals that, when she was sick and bedridden, the person her parents hired to examine her spoke with this kind of accent and she decided to imitate them since she liked it so much.
- Verbal Tic: Sometimes says "Och!" when annoyed and says "Eee!" when excited. Vambre also refers to her friends as "darling" and "dearheart"
- Weapon Specialization: The Tomato Magisword and Oinkus Oinkus Magisword are her signature magiswords.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Defied. In "Felonious Prose", Morbidia attempts to call Vambre out when she decides to leave them in the quagmire. Vambre then retorts, "You've cheesed me off on a PERSONAL LEVEL!" in regards to their plan of writing a fake Veronica Victorious book in the hopes of distracting Vambre from hers and Prohyas' gig.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She's deathly afraid of squirrels. She even says the line verbatim when she has to deal with them.
Allies
Dolphin Magisword
Prohyas' first ever magisword and one of his signature weapons.
- Action Girl: She's a freaking magisword. What'd you expect?
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Gets upset when Prohyas implies that Carnivorous Plant Magisword might be his new favorite.
- Making a Splash: Dolphin Magisword's main ability seems to be spraying forth a powerful jet of water from her mouth.
Grup
Voiced by Kyle Carrozza
A small, innocent dragon who lives with the Warriors as of the short "The Desolation Of Grup". He and his friends Skullivan, Lady Hiss and Prug are known as the "Cave Weirdos", and work at The Cave of Stuff, a dungeon for level one adventurers.- Break the Cutie: In "Cleanliness Is Next to Grupliness" when he believes his friends are trying to hurt him by drenching him in water, which is deadly for dragons.
- Catchphrase: "I landed on my wings." and "Yaaaaay!" and "Nooooooooooooo!" and "Abloobloobloo!" (when crying)
- Gag Nose: Or snout in this case.
- Genius Ditz: He's usually kind of a doof, but he klutzes his way to beating the Warriors when they try to "vanquish" him (by beating him in contests). On top of that, he's a Supreme Chef and can also perform basic household tasks like light cleaning and doing laundry, something the Warriors are completely inept at without Magiswords. Grup also runs (or co-runs) the Cave Of Stuff with surprising effectiveness.
- Innocent Blue Eyes: Grup has a pair of periwinkle blue eyes and is without a doubt one of the sweetest characters in the show.
- Leitmotif: A slow, goofy one-tuba tune.
- Our Dragons Are Different:
- He looks more like a little dinosaur than a dragon, especially when he's not using his wings. In-universe, he's been referred to as a hippo-lizard thing.
- He can't get wet with water for more than two minutes or else something bad will happen. Other liquids like grape soda is fine.
- When he starts to smell, it's time for him to shed his skin.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He's able to plow through large boulders in sheer panic.
- Punch-Clock Villain: Literally. He and his friends work as the caretakers and encounters of the Cave of Stuff, a level one dungeon for rookie adventures to start their journeys passing through. Despite being an admitted "professional failure", he takes his role very seriously, doing his best to make the adventurer have a good experience.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: Prohyas, and the audience, find him insanely cute. Eventually, even Vambre is won over by his charms.
- Shoulder-Sized Dragon: Albeit maybe a little too big to qualify, he is still diminutive by draconic standards.
- Silly Walk: His legs are so short, that he has to shuffle to walk around.
- Supreme Chef: He can whip up some very delicious food. With the exception of his Famous Grup Soup.
- Team Pet: Grup has been described as somewhere between "pet" and "roommate" to the Warriors.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Of all the foods he makes, Grup enjoys eating sandwiches the most.
Mr. & Mrs. Norman and Kablammica Warrior
Norman Warrior
Voiced by Dana Gould
The father of the Warriors for Hire. A simple broccoli farmer, Norman seems to wish that his children were helping him at the farm instead of adventuring.

- Happily Married: He and Kablammica adore each other.
- Non-Action Guy: He's a simple farmer in a family of warriors.

Kablammica Warrior
Voiced by Renee Albert
The mother of the Warriors for Hire. She was an adventurer before she settled down to start a family with Norman and approves of her childrens' profession.
- Action Mom: She was apparently quite famous for her feats in her adventuring days and seemingly hasn't lost her touch in retirement.
- Brawn Hilda: She big.
- Charles Atlas Superpower: Her athleticism puts her children to shame. She can clear an entire field with a single jump and juice broccoli with her bare hands.
- Good Parents: She adores her children and taught them everything they know about adventure.
- Handicapped Badass: Her pegleg doesn't slow her down one bit.
- Morality Pet: Kablammica kind of serves as one for Hoppus in t
- Happily Married: She assures Norman that she does actually enjoy her retirement with him despite his worries.

- Retired Badass: She retired from adventuring to be a broccoli farmer with her husband.
- Supreme Chef: Everyone seems to like her broccoli soup, except, ironically her own children, who just dislike broccoli in general (though neither of them has the heart to tell her).
- Rose-Haired Sweetie: Has pink hair and is a loving wife and mother.
- Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Kablammica is a mountain of a woman while her husband is thin and scrawny.
- Top-Heavy Guy: A rare female example. She has tiny legs and a huge upper body.
- Verbal Tic: She often says "Dont'cha kno?" due to her Minnesota accent, even the announcer picked up the habit when it cut to her activating a Magisword.
Noville
Voiced by Phil LaMarr
The shy nerdy owner of The Printed Page Bookshop who has a massive crush on Vambre. He owns the Swish Navy Magisword and has a fear of social interaction. He comes to Prohyas and Vambre for Magisword training.- Amazon Chaser: He has a crush on Vambre (that is obvious to everyone except Vambre). Later in the series he gets a girlfriend who is an actual superhero and is actually into him.
- Black and Nerdy: Huge glasses? Check. Runs a bookstore? Check. Played by Phil LaMarr? Big check.
- Odd Couple: The Felix to Helmut's Oscar.
- Nice Guy: Despite his social awkwardness, Noville is always helpful and kind.
- Punny Name: His name is "Noville" (pronounced "Novel"), and he sells books for a living.
- Swiss-Army Weapon: It appears that the appropriately named Swish Navy Magisword has this function as not only does it have spinning saw blades, but also a grappling hook that retracts as well as a heart that goes aww when his wielder got hugged by Vambre.
- Verbal Backspace: Whenever he expresses his desire to do something with, or for, Vambre, he quickly mentions that he would also do the same with/for Prohyas.
Princess Zange
Voiced by Grey DeLisle
The princess of Rhyboflaven and the Warriors' most important client and friend.- All Girls Want Bad Boys: She's practically drooling when describing the pirates that the Warriors may encounter in one quest.
- Big Good: She's the main authority of land and issues the Warrior's biggest missions.
- Catchphrase: "Sup guys? Rock and rolling?"
- Leitmotif: A vaguely Cyndi Lauper-esque tune plays whenever she appears.
- Modest Royalty: She dresses simply, but fashionably and acts very informally with her subjects. Especially with the Warrior siblings, with whom she shares a close friendship.
- Princesses Rule: She's clearly the regent of Rhyboflaven, but uses the title of princess rather than queen
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Although it's a little hard to believe with her ditzy personality, she does pretty clearly respect the siblings' abilities and is willing to give them serious work when so few other people in the kingdom are.
- Smarter Than You Look: In spite of her valley-girl traits, she's shown to quite intelligent, surprising the Warriors with her knowledge of Magiswords.
- Trickster Mentor: Seems to be. After their encounter with the Attacktus, she tells the Warriors that they "passed", implying some sort of Secret Test of Character.
- Valley Girl: Her accent and slang have shades of this.
Ralphio
Voiced by Doug Lawrence
The greedy owner of Ralphio's House of Swords, who supplies Vambre and Prohyas with all their magiswords. He has a pet slime named Wobbles who helps him out around the store.- Clingy Costume: Appears to be stuck wearing a sword costume underneath his clothes, he even went to the pool wearing it.
- Greed: He's not above raising the price of a magisword when he hears the Warriors REALLY need it, and he's also willing to take candy from a baby and lie to it about the reason he took it.
- Honest John's Dealership: His merchandise always does exactly as he says, but he'll gladly work to squeeze every last Jemm from his customers.
- Leitmotif: Organ music tends to play when he speaks.
-
Magnificent Bastard: As shown in "Dungeons And Dayjobs", he can be surprisingly clever with his business strategies. - Morality Pet: His pet slime Wobbles appears to be the only being he'd be willing to give away a chance to make money for.
- Severely Specialized Store: Owns a magisword shop, but it seems that the Warriors are his only customers.
Witchy Simone
Voiced by Lindsay Carrozza
A close friend of Vambre and Prohyas from Adventurer Academy who dropped out and is currently trying to pass the entry exam to get back in. Until then, she works at Prohyas' favorite fast-food restaurant, Slugburger. She as of "Sibling Sorcery" now recently owns the Golden Broomstick Magisword given from her younger sister, Witchy Sparkles.- Affectionate Nickname: Prohyas calls her "Squirt". Subverted in that she...
- Berserk Button: Absolutely HATES it when Prohyas calls her "Squirt" and has a magical outburst whenever he does. Prohyas invokes this just to snap her out of her zombie-like state of mind during a particularly slow day at Slug Burger.
- THAT'S NOT MY NAME!
- She even BEATS UP Prohyas in "Potion in the Ocean" just for calling her that!
- The only time this was averted was in "Dungeons And Dayjobs" where the Warriors get mad at her and Prohyas simply calls her "Simone", much to her heartbreak.
"He didn't even call me "squirt"..." - Blood Knight: A little too enthusiastic about fighting. Even Vambre thinks she's crazy!
- Brooklyn Rage: You don't want to get on her bad side.
- Burger Fool: Is working at Slugburger until she can get back into adventurer school and become a full-time adventurer. She hooks up Prohyas with leftover food.

- Cloud Cuckoolander: Oh so much.
- Cute, but Cacophonic: Pretty cute-looking, but has a shrill, squawky New York accent.

- Cute Witch
- Everyone Went to School Together: She went to Adventure Academy with the Warriors, but flunked out. They're still close friends.
- Flying Broomstick: Occasionally seen with one until she received a Magisword one by her sister Witchy Sparkles in "Sibling Sorcery".
- Hair-Trigger Temper: It takes very little to make her snap.
- Heroic Wannabe: She's desperate to earn her way back into Adventure Academy so she can become a real adventurer, but usually botches the attempts through her recklessness.
- Hot-Blooded: Yep.
- Inept Mage: She's quite powerful, but has limited control over her spells and has repeatedly failed the potion-making component of the exam that would get her back into Adventurer Academy.
- Large Ham: As Prohyas put it:"Yeah, she might not know what subtlety is."
- Leeroy Jenkins: Came with the warriors on a mission she commissioned, but constantly kept trying to do things by force. Ending with her getting into a fight with a self proclaimed protector of the ocean.
- Leitmotif: A catchy punk rock tune can be heard whenever she's onscreen.
- Loony Fan: Loves hearing about the Warriors' exploits when they come to visit Slugburger thanks to her own dreams of being an adventurer.
- Pointy Ears
- Power Incontinence: She doesn't have full control of her magic and is prone to accidental outbursts of magic spells.
- In one flashback of "Random Acts of Memory", she blurts out that she sometimes does it on purpose after getting shot in the mouth with "truth-paste".
- Purple Is Powerful: Has Purple skin, purple hair and shows quite strong magic (Though doesn't have complete control of it.)
- Sarcasm-Blind: As evident in this exchange.Witchy: "Hooray! The sea!"
Prohyas: "Sharp eyes Witchy."
Vambre: "Yes, you're practically clairvoyant."
Witchy: "Aww! You're too kind!"
Zombie Pumpkin Magisword
Voiced by Kyle Carrozza
A sentient magisword Vambre and Prohyas find in Transylberia with powers primarily focused on fighting plants.- Affectionate Nickname: Zombie Pumpkin is casually called ZP, or in the case with Vambre's British accent, Zed P.
- Bullet Seed: Is capable of spitting seeds as an attack.
- Cannibalism Superpower: In "Mushroom Menance", it's revealed that eating different types of pumpkins have different effects on Zombie Pumpkin Magisword. For example, eating the seed of a giant pumpkin equals a GIANT zombie pumpkin magisword.
- Cannot Spit It Out: He occasionally has trouble expressing himself, which leads to problems in combat situations.
- Deadpan Snarker: When he can express himself, it's usually to make dry comments.
- Healing Factor: Has zombie regeneration powers.
- I'm a Humanitarian: A non-human example, as the Zombie Pumpkin Magisword devours pumpkins. Justified, because he's a zombie.
- I See Dead People: If his donated eyes are any indication he can see ghosts that are invisible.
- Kaiju: Eating a giant pumpkin seed turns him giant.
- Lorre Lookalike: Kyle confirmed in a Kyle and Luke blog that one of the influences in Zombie Pumpkin's voice was Peter Lorre.
- Shrinking Violet: He's very sensitive and has a hard time expressing himself.
- Talking Weapon: One of the few magiswords that can speak.
- Team Pet: Vambre and Prohyas treat him as more of a pet than a weapon.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Loves to eat pumpkins, but can settle for any other type of plant or fungus material.
- Ugly Cute: In-Universe. Vambre and Prohyas were immediately charmed by his strangely endearing appearance and personality.
- We Used to Be Friends: Used as a joke in "Mushroom Menace". He's friends with all of the trees he calls Jeff in the forest he's from, except for the dead tree he calls Derek. He responds "He's dead to me".
The Cave Weirdos
The monsters who maintain the Cave of Stuff along with Grup.
Tropes Shared By All
- Deadpan Snarker: To one degree or another, they all are.
- Failure Is the Only Option: They are admittedly "Professional Failures;" they only exist to provide a challenging environment for a rookie adventurer.
- Infinite Supplies: The Cave seems to be well-funded by some vague "Dungeon Planning Committee." They're always well stocked with loot, and they always have the resources to change the theme of the cave often.Vambre: I'll never understand how they get the budget for this.
Prohyas: I don't understand how this is profitable for anyone. - Mean Character, Nice Actor: They act as the not-too-threatening villains for the Cave of Stuff, but are all quite friendly outside their roles.
- Punch-Clock Villain: Being bad guys is literally their job; they're actually very friendly and nice.
Lady Hiss
Voiced by Lindsay Carrozza
- Genki Girl: She's always perky and enthusiastic.
- Snakes Are Sinister: Played with. She's supposed to act as a villain for the Cave of Stuff, but she's actually pretty friendly.
- Sssnake Talk: She doesn't over-emphasize her S-sounds, but she has a pretty obvious lisp because of her tongue and fangs.
- Talking Animal: A talking snake.
Skullivan
Voiced by Luke Sienowski
- Dem Bones: He's a skeleton monster.
- It's All About Me: He's a bit of a drama queen.
- The Smart Guy: Comparatively speaking. He's the default Puzzle Boss, and he's the one who usually drags out the rule book to settle a point of order. Due to his lack of enthusiasm, this also makes him Brilliant, but Lazy.
Prug
Voiced by Kyle Carrozza
- Early-Installment Weirdness: He was identified as Grup in the early shorts. As of "The Desolation of Grup," he was retconned as "Prug," and Grup was made into a completely different character and the younger brother to the larger, older Prug.
- The Generic Guy: He's the least developed and least active of monsters.
- Our Dragons Are Different: He's basically a bigger version of Grup.
Neddy the Mallet
Voiced by Townsend Coleman
An arrogant and slightly dim-witted warrior bear adventurer. Living through a life of adventuring and borrowing food from picknickers after graduating Adventure Academy, Neddy strives to find all treasure as clear as the school's motto, "Fortune favors the bold".- Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: A skilled warrior with a serious superiority complex.
- Bears Are Bad News: He's an anthropomorphic bear, and incredibly tough.
- Big Eater: And for more than just honey, it turns out.
- Catchphrase: "Fortune favors the bold"
- Companion Cube: He repeatedly gets attached to inanimate objects. It's a honey crown in his debut, but he moves on to befriending and romancing various rocks in "Strange Nedfellows".
- Dumb Muscle: He's as dense and clueless as he is strong: very.
- Everyone Went to School Together: A former school chum of the Warrior Siblings.
- Jerkass: Takes over the Cave of Stuff once he beats it, for no real reason other than he can. He'd be completely unlikable if he wasn't so very dumb.
- The Thing That Would Not Leave: His debut had him crashing in and declaring himself king of the Cave of Stuff on the basis that there technically wasn't any rule he couldn't.
- Weaksauce Weakness: He's really bad at remembering people's names...which is how the Cave Weirdos manage to foil him.
Mr. Spoony
Voiced by Kyle Massey
The owner of Slug Burger and Witch Simone's boss.- No Celebrities Were Harmed: His overly dramatic speech and frequent whoops paint him as an exaggeration of James Brown.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: He's quick to snap Witchy Simone back in line, but only because he seems to want her to learn responsibility.
- Verbal Tic: Often has a habit of singing at the end of his sentences at times.
Danelda
Voiced by Michaela Dietz
Originally part of a three-rabbit team involving Hoppus and a third member who went power mad. She works to get Hoppus to come back to their home village despite him refusing.- Badass Adorable: She's as skillful with Magiswords as she is cute, something when she can use as an advantage.
- Rascally Rabbit: She's very playful around Hoppus while trying to convince him to go home, much to his dismay.
Clients
Buford
Voiced by Jim Cummings
Manager of the Rhyboflavin Bazaar.- Blind Without 'Em: He can't see a thing without his contact lenses. He's hired the Warriors to find them for him a couple of times.
- Catchphrase: "Pardon!" (when bumping/pushing people)
- Ink-Suit Actor: He's basically a cartoon version of Jim Cummings.
Docky Boardman
Voiced by Luke Sienkowski
Owner of the Rhyboflavin Boardwalk. Not really a fan of the Warriors For Hire, but he's "all about brand loyalty."- Catchphrase: "WHAT THE HEY THERE, NOW DON'T CHA KNOW!!!!" (when angry)
- Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: Never fails to point how just how much collateral damage the Warriors cause. He's got a point, though...
- Expy: Bears a strong resemblance to Popeye.
- The Napoleon: He's a sawed-off little ball of bad temper.
Füd
Voiced by Grey DeLisle
A rare food enthusiast and chef who often sends the Warriors to retrieve ingredients for her recipes.- Bizarre Taste in Food: She often requests weird foods, such as solid gold acorns and 12-year-old stale pizza.
- Eyes Out of Sight: Her hair, which is two shades of green, always hides her eyes.
- Infinite Supplies: Always pays the Warriors a hefty sum of money for their services. Lampshaded when Vambre wonders what Füd does that allows her to spend so much.
- Lookalike Lovers: Her boyfriend Snax shares many of her traits, including, being Ambiguously Brown, having bangs and hair in two shades, being generally quite laidback, speaking with a soft Southern drawl, and of course being a foodie.
- Punny Name: A rare food enthusiast named "Füd".
- Southern Belle: Has a soft Southern drawl and a very genteel and demure demeanor.
- Stronger Than They Look: She can uproot an entire tree of golden acorns and carry it home with her bare hands (after Vambre reminded her to lift with her knees...)
The Mysterious Hooded Woman
Voiced by Grey DeLisle
A... mysterious hooded woman who frequently hires the Warriors for magical quests.- Black Cloak: About the only things known about her beyond her purple cloak are that she's feminine and wears blue gloves/sleeves.
- Cloud Cuckoolander: Despite pretending to be a stoic enigma she constantly embarrasses herself with explicitly weird motives. Examples include a Magical Pumpkin House, dragon cave raves, and a radio jockey job - in a world that never invented radio.
- The Comically Serious: She rarely shows emotions in her voice, which makes it hilarious whenever she says weird stuff.
- The Faceless: Her cloak shrouds her face in shadow, along with every other inch of her body.
- No Name Given: She's yet to give out her name, but the Warriors call her The Mysterious Hooded Woman. It's even lampshaded.Vambre: "The mysterious hooded lady..."Prohyas: "Whose name we should learn..."
- Ralphio also refers to her as such, even if he mistakes any woman wearing a cloak for her (including Danelda, who is a rabbit).
- The Stoic: Constantly subverted. She acts like a sinister client hiring the Warriors for mysterious and seemingly nonsensical reasons.
- Not So Stoic: They really are nonsensical reasons.
- Stealth Hi/Bye: She may be invisible or a ninja. Either way, she tops Batman. She can even leave her cloak behind so it appears she never left.
Old Man Oldman
Voiced by Kyle Carrozza
A crazy old man who always hires the Warriors to perform menial chores.- Cloud Cuckoolander: Mistakes a dinosaur for a dog. Mistakes a dog for a cat.
- Cool Old Guy: Downplayed. He doesn't go on adventures or fight, but "Pool Fools" shows that he is incredibly buff under his robes.
- Department of Redundancy Department: He's a senior citizen and Oldman is his last name.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Does this to the warriors who messed up his yard. (Even though Vambre pointed out the spot they messed with wasn't even ON his lawn.) Good thing he's also a Harmless Villain.
- Gag Nose
- Harmless Villain: At one point he swears vengeance on the Warriors and attempts to use his "secret weapon" to defeat them. The secret weapon is actually just Grup (who is completely useless in a fight) taped to the Robopiggeh (whom the Warriors have already defeated before).
- Mundane Utility: Thinks Warriors For Hire is an odd jobs agency that uses magical swords for mundane activities. The warriors are not amused.
- Scatterbrained Senior: Has shades of this. Discussed in "Bad Man Oldman".
- Speaks Fluent Animal: He can apparently understand squirrels, as he scolds one for having a dirty mouth.
Omnibus the Accumulator
Voiced By Hal Lublin
An individual magician who resides in a massive mansion where he collects rare magic artifacts.- Cloud Cuckoolander: Even by Rhyboflaven standards.
- Collector of the Strange: His raison d'etre.
- Expy: Visually, he's almost a dead ringer for Zebediah from Totally Rad. His attitude would also fit right in in that game.
- Losing Your Head: Over time, he has increased his tendency to have his head separated from his body, often with comical results. The entire plot of "Getting Ahead" revolves around solving one such instance.
- Punny Name: Omnibus is a Latin word that loosely means "all things", and he is a collector of rare items.
- Reality Warper: His first appearance has him appear to the Warriors as a head because the rest of his body was making pancakes.
- Significant Headgear: A snappy magician's top hat.
Teri Gargantuan
Voiced by Pete Holmes
The guardian of the Spiderweb Magisword and mother of Traci, Bobbipher and Logan, whom the latter works as a janitor for Thaddeus Thirdwell III's corporation in Galacton.
Antagonists
Flonk
Voiced by Paul Schrier
A former grade-school chum of the Warriors. The playground bully, he's since "gone pro," running protection rackets of varying degrees of success. Also fancies himself a comedian.- Connected All Along: In "Bewitched, Bothered and Bothered Some More", he is revealed to be Helmut's younger brother.
- Expy: His hair, outfit, and personality basically make him a beefier version of Gaston.
- Mad Artist: Claims that his goal is to combine comedy and physical violence. He hasn't been successful so far.
- Manchild: Still has the mindset of a grade-school bully. Heck, his debut short ends with him crying like a baby and not being placated until a lollipop is shoved into his mouth.
- Miles Gloriosus: He can dish it, but he can't take it. The minute someone fights back he breaks down in tears.
- Pungeon Master: Most of his humor is pun-based.
- Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up: He bullied the Warriors when they were kids, and he's still bullying everybody else despite being a grown up.
Frostferatu
Voiced by Dave Gruber Allen
The Lord of Snowmanpires who lives in an icy castle in Transylbiria.- An Ice Person: Has icy powers.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: In "Collection Infection", he entrusted the Warrior siblings with delivering a present to his mother.
- Evil Is Hammy
- Evil Is Petty: His powers enable him to create ice and cold temperatures, so there was really no reason for him to steal the never-melting ice cube from Omnibus, except to be mean.
- Our Vampires Are Different: He creates "snowmanpires," who are a cross between vampires and snowmen.
- Wicked Cultured: Wears a fancy vampire cape and hangs out in a well-appointed castle.
Hoppus
Voiced by Eric Bauza
A rabbit mercenary who aims to collect and own all vegetable magiswords. He is regularly hired by the Rhyboflavin royalty to deliver messages to the Warriors at times.- Berserk Button: Don't call him cute.
- Catchphrase: "All vegetable magiswords shall be mine!", "Boing!" and "No! Okay, Yes!"
- Evil Vegetarian: He's an herbivore and most of his conflicts with the Warriors stem from wanting their vegetable magiswords. Downplayed in that he's not as antagonistic when he's not after their magiswords. He does however scam them out of the jewels they were just given under guise of fine for damages done by King Rexxtopher in The Land Before Slime.
- Fantastic Slur: According to Hoppus, being called "cute" is offensive to rabbits.
- In a Single Bound: As a bunny, he can naturally jump very high.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Hoppus can be abrasive, (sometimes justifiably) rude to the protagonists and sometimes tries to forcefully take magiswords that fits with his vegetable theme but can also be polite in a gruff way and will show gratitude.
- Jerkass Has a Point: At one time Hoppus pointed out that the Sibling Protagonists don't use their magiswords as intended, aka. using them as magic staffs instead of their true design as magic swords. Given that the siblings couldn't pass a basic fencing class he has a point.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: Surprisingly formidable when he gets riled up. He can wield six Magiswords at once all by himself.
- Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: While not a Verbal Tic, he often says the word "boing" when jumping.
- The Stoic: Usually has a dour attitude that makes other people think that he's sad, but he claims he's just stoic.
King Rexxtopher
Voiced by Eric Bauza
The T. rex king of the Dinosaur Kingdom. He hates the Warriors for having previously attempted to steal (and eat) one of his dinosaurs.- Berserk Button: It's bad enough when humans enter the Dinosaur Kingdom, but the moment someone steals one of the babies...
- Brooklyn Rage: Has an inexplicable New York accent and is quick to anger.
- Fantastic Racism: Expect him to complain about humans in his realm whenever he appears... though it may just be the Warriors that tick him off.
- Feathered Fiend: Unlike most media depictions of Tyrannosaurus, he's actually portrayed with feathers. Though calling him a fiend is a bit of a stretch.
- New Job as the Plot Demands: For some reason, he works as the lifeguard in "Pool Fools".
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Interestingly, almost every conflict with him is resolved through talking things out rationally. And it's not like he doesn't have a good reason to hate the Warriors. (Banishing them for trying to eat one of his dinosaurs isn't exactly Disproportionate Retribution.) He's also shown to be a rather benevolent, albeit strict, ruler to his dinosaurs.
- Sitcom Archnemesis: His relationship with Warriors is that of an authority figure trying to keep his domain in order while dealing with two obnoxious foreign interlopers. That's about as far as his "villainy" goes and, being said, he still appreciates their accomplishments as long as it doesn't infringe on his sovereign land.
- Tail Slap: His primary method of banishing the Warriors from his kingdom.
- To Serve Man: Subverted. "Biggest Fan" reveals he can't eat humans because he's allergic. This is later played straight in "Warts and All", where he attempts to devour the Warrior siblings and is only thwarted when Vambre uses a Magisword to fill Rexxtopher's gullet with frogs.
- Verbal Tic: He tends to stutter whenever saying words that end with an S.
- Weapon Specialization: The Claw Magisword, which helps him compensate for his traditionally small arms. While the Warriors stole it from him in his CN Anything debut, he is still using it as of "Pool Fools".
Man Fish the Fish Man
Voiced by Bill Kopp
An odd french individual who lives in the ocean and protects its wildlife.- Anti-Hero/Anti-Villain: Isn't a direct antagonist like Witch Way, though he is kind of a jerk, but can get along well with the protagonists as long as they're not harming the oceans wild life.
- Ambiguously Human: He looks like a human wearing a fish costume but he can apparently breathe underwater and he seems to treat humans with disdain. Vambre lampshades this. He is willing to tell them his backstory detailing it but the Warriors passed on it.
- Asshole Victim: He once got rocks chucked at his head for literally no reason by Glori (The Warriors for Hire biggest fan/stalker), and while initially calm, lashed out and attacked her.
- Catchphrase: "Care to hear my thrilling backstory?" and "We are not friends" Whenever Prohyas acts friendly towards him
- Department of Redundancy Department: His name.
- Fantastic Racism: Treats humans as if they're beneath him.
- French Jerk: He speaks with a French accent and certainly acts like a bit of a Jerkass, though he's still more of a Reasonable Authority Figure.
- Friendly Enemy: With Prohyas through Characterization Marches On
- Great Escape: Spends 'Dunkadelic' making constant attempts at escaping prison, to varying amounts of success.
- Jerkass Has a Point: When he became an Asshole Victim and lashed out at Glori for randomly attacking him, Vamber noted that he was completely justified in his rage. AND when Witchy Simone wanted to rip out a sea newts eye, he refused to let her do so, as the newt only had one eye (that and even if it had 2 eyes, it's still a bit fucked up to just rip it's eye out when it was still alive like Simone wanted to)
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he's admittedly a bit of a dick, he does genuinely care for the ocean's wildlife and goes out of his way to do whats he thinks is best for them. He even took pity on Prohyas when he became a fishstick and while initially denying it the two grew to become friends, and was heartbroken when Prohyas became a human again, thus inadvertently ending their friendship. Though it seems Prohyas still considers him a friend.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: His refusal to allow Witchy to remove the newt's only remaining eye is definitely understandable. And he allows the Warriors and Witchy to leave with the newt's eye once they work out a compromise.
- Third-Person Person: He often refers to himself as "Man Fish"
- The Unreveal: Even when it looks like he's going to reveal his backstory, we never get to hear it.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: When not out for petty revenge or committing acts of theft, he's genuinely trying his best to protect the ocean and it's wild life.
Nohyas
Voiced by Kyle Carrozza
Prohyas' evil twin. He genuinely seems to think that he actually IS Prohyas (even when Prohyas is right in front of him). He sports a hand puppet of Vambre he named "Handbre" who speaks French.- Achievements in Ignorance: Is somehow able to do Super Teamwork Combos with his hand puppet, simply because he thinks she's real.
- Catchphrase: "NO YEAAUH!!!" and/or "OH YEAHHH!!!!"
- Chronic Villainy: Admits to being evil, but still helps Old Man Oldman (Granted it was for money but still.)
- Cloudcuckoolander: His whole shtick is thinking he is Prohyas while believing himself to be an evil doppelganger. Try wrapping your head around that. (Better yet, just don't.)
- Evil Twin: Tries to be this for Prohyas and Vambre, (The latter of whom he only made as a hand puppet called Handbre). It should be noted that he honestly believes he is Prohyas and that if he's evil, then so is Prohyas.
- Gratuitous French: Handbre appears to only talk in French. And yet the British-accented Vambre thinks it's a great impression of herself.
- I Reject Your Reality: He thinks he and a hand puppet are the Warriors and makes up random stories or details to "prove" it.
- Insane Troll Logic: His "explanations" for everything he does or thinks are streams of complete nonsense that he believes wholeheartedly, no matter how much they contradict what he said a minute before.
- Logical Weakness: He possesses a copy of almost every Magisword Prohyas and Vambre has and can use the exact moves as them but better. The Warriors For Hire defeat him by taking advantage of the fact that they have one-of-a-kind Magiswords that he cannot possibly possess.
- Mirror Match: Possesses a copy of almost every Magisword the siblings have and can use the same attacks as them but better. This even extends to their Super Teamwork Combos.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: His voice is modeled after wrestler Randy "Macho Man" Savage, even copying his Catchphrase.
- Oddball Doppelgänger: To an unamused Prohyas. His mere existence annoys both Prohyas and Vambre, but moreso Prohyas, who Vambre, in a rare reversal of roles, has to calm down.
Penny Plasm
Voiced by Kate Micucci
A ghost girl who lives in a haunted house in Transylberia. She falls in love with Prohyas and tries to murder him so that he can become a ghost along with her.- Anti-Villain / Obliviously Evil: Doesn't seem to realize that trying to make Prohyas a ghost is a bad thing, and apologizes when confronted about it.
- Boy Meets Ghoul: With Prohyas.
- Cute Ghost Girl: Even though her ghost status does stick out, as does the fact she desperately wants someone to coinhabit with her, she is still adorable.
- Friendly Ghost: A little TOO friendly.
- Eyes Out of Sight: Her hair always covers her eyes, similar to Füd.
- Hartman Hips: Has these despite not having legs.
- Heel Realization: When Prohyas tells her that trying to kill him so they can be together permanently is "four kinds of messed up", she immediately feels remorseful and stops.
- Kryptonite Factor: Seeds of the Undead remove her powers temporarily.
- Mind over Matter: Can levitate objects.
- Noodle Incident: She explains her death off screen. From what little is revealed, it involved power tools, a monkey paw, and a doily.
- Southern Belle: Complete with a Southern drawl and a poofy dress.
- Yandere: Tries to murder Prohyas so his ghost will stay with her, though she stops once he breaks it off with her and earnestly tells her why he's not ready for an eternal commitment. She also repeatedly tries to keep Vambre from contacting him.
Phil the Pilferer
Voiced by Eric Bauza
A short thief who constantly steals from the Warriors. He is also a member of a cult called the Brotherhood of Thieves and strives to be the top thief in Lvsheria.- The Bad Guy Wins: Subverted. See Karma Houdini.
- The Casanova: Has so far attracted the Mysterious Hooded Woman, Penny Plasm and a female woolly monkey.
- Catchphrase: "Even when Phil loses, he wins!" and "Haha!" (his signature laugh)
- Hoist by His Own Petard: His attempt to use Dolphin Magisword against Vambre gives Prohyas an opening to get her to come back to him.
- Hypocritical Humor: "My hat! THIEF!" He said while adorned with stolen loot.
- Jerkass: An unrepentant thief who steals from everyone.
- Karma Houdini: Subverted. While his plans are almost always foiled and he is punished for his misdeeds, he always gets a happy ending. Hence his catchphrase.
- For instance, in "Thick As Thieves" he steals all the Warriors' "cool" magiswords to aid him in stealing the woolly mantis idol. The Warriors ultimately defeat him in battle and retrieve their magiswords (as well as a sack of woolly monkey loot Phil stole). At the end of the day however, Phil still gets away with the woolly mantis idol.
- Averted in "Dungeons And Dayjobs", where Witchy Simone zaps him into ash for stealing Prohyas' magisword. He even inverts his catchphrase, saying "Even when Phil wins, he loses".
- Latin Lover: Has a Spanish accent and likes to charm women.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: His voice is based on Antonio Banderas, according to creator Kyle Carrozza.
- Third-Person Person: Often speaks in third person because of his ego.
- Stealth Hi/Bye: Not to the extent as the Mysterious Hooded Woman, but he sometimes does this. Once, he somehow managed to announce his departure after he disappeared.
- Verbal Tic: He sometimes gives out a short laugh "Haha!" when victorious and hates it when the members of the Brotherhood of Thieves mimic his laugh.
Witch Way
Tropes Morbidia and Gateaux share
- Black Magic: Their spells are all of this flavor to distinguish them from more positive magical characters in the series.
- Character Tics: Morbida poses or spasms whenever she emphasizes her words.
- Evil Is Petty: They love to do whatever they can to spite Vambre and Prohyas.
- Evil Sorceror: They are just shy of being full villains in the show.
- Leitmotif: A jazzy piece that plays in their presence.
- Necromancer: Both practice black magic. Once, they created an army of zombie teddy bears by animating the stuffed animals with life force sucked from plants.
- The Rival: To the Warriors for Hire. They compete in the mercenary business and sometimes outright fight each other.
- Verbal Tic: Gateaux has a tendency of repeating a word from whatever sentence that Morbida says, sometimes to the point where it annoys Morbida itself.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: They are inseparable, but they constantly quarrel with each other.
Morbidia
Voiced by Candi Milo (originally), Mary Faber (currently)
One half of Witch Way. She possesses a bad temper and is prone to shouting and exaggerated facial expressions.- Berserk Button: The fact that 'Warriors For Hire' is doing better business wise and is willing to sabotage the two siblings in anyway possible.
- Character Tics: Sometimes talks from the side of her mouth, especially when she's being snobby.
- Control Freak: It's very apparent that Morbidia has to be the leader of Witch Way and as a result treats Gateaux less like a friend and equal partner and more like a brainless lackey with has no opinions nor ideas that matter and as such Morbidia will get angry at Gateaux if he dares to act or speak otherwise .
- Evil Counter Part: Morbidia is this to Vambre. Both girls went to Adventure Academy, they both run an adventuring business of which they're the more action-oriented one paired with an easily frightened male character (Prohyas for Vambre, Gateaux for Morbidia) and they both have a small pet they adore (Grup for Vambre, Natasha for Morbidia). However that's where the similarities end.
- Despite Vambre's proclivity towards action and fighting, a lot of episodes show that Vambre is truly quite a loyal, caring, protective and kind-hearted girl who is almost always eager to help out anyone who needs The Warriors For Hire and enjoys helping people just as much as the action. Morbidia by contrast, is very much a selfish, mean and petty bully whose superficial displays of kindness only
- Evil Redhead: She has red hair and is very much an adversary of the Warriors
- Evil Is Hammy: Morbidia pretty much screams every line she utters.
- Hot Witch: She's quite attractive (chalky-pale skin, black lips and Pointy Ears aside) and dresses like a typical witch.
- Hypocritical Humor: Claims she can't stand it when people get overly dramatic.
- Large Ham: Gets overly dramatic and animated when excited, which is often.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Her voice is based on William Shatner of Star Trek.
- Pointy Ears: Though her species is unknown.
- Shout-Out: She... talked in a manner... similar to... William Shatner... in her first appearance.
- Stupid Evil: Even though Morbidia's whole goal in life is to overtake the Warriors For Hire's place as Rhyboflavian's "go-to adventurers", she more often than not does things that either boost the Warriors' standing or squander Witch Way's reputation further. The first example is "Cleanliness is Next To Grupliness", Morbidia ranted to Gateaux about how Warriors For Hire made it on the cover of "Mercenary Monthly" magazine before they did and how the issue with Prohyas and Vambre is the #1 best-selling issue of "Mercenary Monthly" to date. Gateaux then points out that Morbidia bought hundreds of copies of that issue to burn them. Even if Morbidia's just destroying those magazines, she's still contributing to that copy becoming best-selling.
- In "Quest For Knowledge" Morbidia seeks to get the Legendary Knowledge Magisword for no other reason than to destroy it just so the Warriors couldn't have it and she even proudly admits it. She could sell it for an insanely high price or something useful, but she just wants to destroy it to spite the Warriors.
- Finally in "Bewitched, Bothered And Bothered Some More", when Prohyas and Vambre were haggling Witch Way to turn Helmut back into a human by loudly insinuating that Witch Way can't actually turn humans into animals and back to a large crowd of people after they were refused. As a result, Morbidia responds by turning Prohyas and Vambre into mice, proving to the cheering crowd they can transmogrify humans. However, right when Gateaux asks who wants to hire Witch Way, Morbidia drags him inside angrily declaring she's "completely done with humanity for the day" to which the crowd promptly disperses. She could've just let Gateaux handle the hiring, but instead she can't have Gateaux lead and it cost Witch Way a lot of business.
- Vain Sorceress: According to
Word of God, the reason why Morbidia has a beauty mark in her painting and not in real life is due to Morbidia insisting the artist add it to the painting. - Villains Out Shopping: is seen out genuinely enjoying Broccoli Punch in 'Action Comedy'.
Gateaux
Voiced by Arin Hanson
One half of Witch Way. He is much less interested in revenge than Morbidia.- Cats Are Mean: An anthropomorphic cat and a rival to the Warriors.
- Cats Are Snarkers: Occasionally snarks at Morbidia's antics, sometimes using his verbal tic to do so.
- Cats Hate Water: When he and Morbidia are punched into the sea, he fearfully sits on her head to avoid getting wet.
- Furry Reminder:
- While normally calm and cool, he gleefully acts like a big kitty-cat when he sees a laser pointer dot. Morbidia chastises him for it.Morbidia: Gateaux! Ga... teaux! Are you out of your little kitty mind?!
Gateaux: I'm a cat, it's all I know. - In another episode, Morbidia mentions he coughed up a hairball, which he considers an "offensive cat stereotype".
- Finally in "Bewitched, Bothered And Bothered Some More", Gateaux becomes completely fixated on chasing the Warriors who have been transformed into mice even meowing and running on all fours in the process.
- While normally calm and cool, he gleefully acts like a big kitty-cat when he sees a laser pointer dot. Morbidia chastises him for it.
- Her Code Name Was "Mary Sue": Has a self-insert in his Veronica Victorious fan fiction named "Xateaug" who's in a relationship with Veronica who becomes a Damsel in Distress for him to save.
- Inexplicably Tailless: One may assume that his robes cover his tail, but he actually lacks one. Morbidia points this out in one episode, but he would rather not talk about it.
- Lean and Mean: Tall, skinny, and a mean rival to the Warriors.
- A Lighter Shade of Black: Gateaux is still a snobby adversary to Prohyas and Vambre, but later episodes show he can be a fairly decent guy when he's not having to help Morbidia wreak havoc, suggesting that he's the nicer member of Witch Way.
- For starters, Gateaux has other interests such as texting, watching Piggypie Jones and Broccoli Punch, reading Veronica Victorious and writing his own fanfictions, whereas Morbidia has only two hobbies, besting the Warriors and admiring herself. Secondly, Gateaux's usually shown to act cordially with the Warriors when he's by himself, even gushing over Veronica Victorious with Vambre and delighting in having someone to share his likes and hobbies with. Also unlike Morbidia, who has to be forced into helping the Warriors and allowing them to win, Gateaux will team up with the Warriors and happily allows them the spoils like in "Witchy Simone Ruins Everything" and "Quest For Knowledge".
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: His voice is based on George Takei from Star Trek.
- Pointy Ears: Justified as he is a cat person.
- Punny Name: His name is a play on "gato", the Spanish word for "cat". It's also the plural form of gateau, the French word for cake.
- Robe and Wizard Hat
- Verbal Tic: Often repeats one word Morbidia says. He doesn't like it when others copy his tic. "The Mystery of Loch Mess" reveals that Morbidia forces him to talk this way and he would rather talk normally.
Francis Thingshooter
Voiced by Kyle Carrozza
A hunter who tried to mount Teri Gargantuan on his wall, but was stopped by Prohyas and Vambre.
- Catchphrase: BOOSH!
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: His voice is based on comedian Bobcat Goldthwait.
- Punny Name: His name, Thingshooter, emphasises his motives as a hunter. He even pointed it out to the Warriors at one point.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: After receiving the counter-permit, he refers to himself as a law-abiding hunter and announces at the point that he has to cease hunting Teri. However, he threatens to get a counter-counter permit that permits him to continue.
DeBizz
Voiced by: Eddie Pepitone
A Galactonian businessman who occasionally causes trouble for the Warrior siblings.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: His first appearance had him attempting to build an amusement park over Princess Zange's castle after forcing Zange and her subjects to leave. It's even pointed out that what he's doing is illegal when he gets arrested at the end of the episode.
- Expy: He's very similar to Swackhammer from Space Jam due to being a portly alien business executive. His debut episode is even a Whole-Plot Reference to that film.
- Fat Bastard: He's overweight and very unscrupulous.
- Punny Name: His name is a play on "the biz", as in business.
Other Characters
Glori
Voiced by Erica Lutrell
- Big Bad: The Season 1 finale main antagonist by virtue of following the Adventure Academy Alumni to the Legendary Knowledge Magisword.
- Break the Cutie: Happens near the end of "Biggest Fan", where Prohyas delivers a powerful "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Glori after she insists they rescue her again:Glori: Yes! My heroes finally saved me! Next time, you guys can save me from an army of long underwear-Prohyas: That's it!Vambre: Prohyas?Prohyas: I was fine with you being a fan. Heck, I was even excited about it! But this has got to stop, muy prontissimo! You don't need us to rescue you, you need to rescue yourself from acting like a maniac! You think it's okay to mess around with people's lives like this? We're human beings!Vambre: Dude!Glori: But-Prohyas: "But" nothing! Want to be a fan? Do it far away from me! I'm donion rings!
- Later on, in the end of the episode, this incident becomes a Create Your Own Villain moment for Glori:
Glori: (tearfully) I vow, from this day forward, that the Warrior Siblings are pure trash! And I, the super-cute Glori, will become the best adventurer in all of Lyvsheria, and then, they'll be begging me to rescue them! (Evil Laugh) - Create Your Own Villain: After Prohyas chews her out for deliberately endangering herself, she vows to become such a great adventurer, that the Warriors For Hire will be begging her to rescue them.
- Cute and Psycho: She's not at all emotionally stable.
- Deliberately Distressed Damsel: She deliberately provokes villains in order to get the Warriors for Hire to rescue her.
- Evil Laugh: Her laugh is something between this and an excited fangirl giggle.
- Eyelid Pull Taunt: Does this to provoke Man Fish the Fish Man.
- Loony Fan: Another for the Warriors for Hire, to the point where she actively puts herself in danger in order to be rescued by them. Even Witchy Simone never took it that far.
- Never My Fault: The Warriors didn't mind her being a fan and all but the constant staging of perilous situation just to get them to rescue her and being unable to convince her gently resulted in them finally telling her off. Does she take it to heart? Nope, they're just jerks for not adhering to her whims, so time to go the villain route.
- Rose-Haired Sweetie: Subverted, she's actually Cute and Psycho.
- Smitten Teenage Girl: Prohyas is the biggest target of her obsession.
- Stalker with a Crush: While she's obsessed with both siblings, she has a blatant crush on Prohyas, even cutting off a lock of his hair when she enters his room while he's asleep.
- Take That!: Essentially she's one to over obsessive fans. Kyle has had a few run ins with folks on the net requesting him to draw something and naturally the whole episode is pretty much how he and most artists deal with people like that. Only switch drawings to rescue attempts.
- Woman Scorned: Vows to destroy the Warriors after Prohyas gives her a well-deserved tongue lashing for her dangerous and stupid antics.
Helmut
Voiced by Kyle Carrozza (originally), Doug Lawrence (currently)
- Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: A little fireplug of a guy with a big impressive helmet.
- Bewitched Amphibians: Morbidia transformed him into a frog for annoying her and he has remained one since, though it doesn't seem to faze him. He even states in "Bewitched, Bothered and Bothered Some More" that he actually prefers being a frog.
- Book Dumb: Literally: he doesn't even know what you're supposed to do with books.
- Catchphrase: "DORKS!" and "RIBBIT!" (currently as a frog)
- Connected All Along: "Bewitched, Bothered and Bothered Some More" reveals that he is Flonk's older brother.
- Karmic Butt-Monkey: His antics do not go unpunished. And it's hilarious.
- Manchild: He's around the same age as the Warrior siblings are currently, and yet still acts like a playground bully. Basically, he hasn't matured much emotionally....and physically.
- The Napoleon: He's still at the same height as he was when he was 5! When the Warriors ask him why that is, he just states that he "has a condition".
- Odd Couple: He's Noville's best friend and the only person he trusts to watch the bookshop when he's not there...for some reason.
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: He was the playground bully when the Warrior Siblings were growing up. He's not really evil, just a loud-mouthed moron.
Long James, Pirate Mayor
Voiced by Phil Lamarr
- Catchphrase: Usually punctuates his sentences with "Pirate Mayor!"
- Corrupt Politician: Downplayed example. He tends to look the other way when the citizens of Keelhaul Cove engage in acts of piracy, but once they attract unwanted attention he's quick to cooperate.
- Friendly Enemy: As the Mayor of the Wretched Hive known as Keelhaul Cove, he's technically the leader of a town full of bad guys. But he's really quite friendly and nice.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: He's always the first to shut down the pirates of Keelhaul Cove when they get out of hand.
Pachydermus Packard
Voiced by Ken Mitchroney
The elephant landlord of Prohyas and Vambre and owner of the Warriors for Hire Headquarters.- Catchphrase: "I have nothing to say."
- Cranky Landlord: He's the Warrior siblings' landlord and is often testy with them, especially when they're behind on paying the rent.
- Joisey: Pachydermus has a New Jersey accent, tending to pronounce -er and -or with -oi.
- Leitmotif: Circus calliope music whenever he suffers misfortune.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: His voice is modeled after Oliver Hardy, even copying the comedians' frequent phrases. Likewise his wife, whose voice is modeled after Stan Laurel.
- Not So Above It All: Claims that the Warrior siblings are irresponsible and that Magiswords are mere toys. But when he takes the Fancy Wig Magisword as collateral, he clearly enjoys using it on a date night with Mrs. Packard.
- And later when their home gets demolished in one of their battles he eventually comes around to Magiswords after he sees how useful they can be.
Robopiggeh
Voiced by Kyle Carrozza
A robot pig-man who will occasionally fight the Warriors for Hire...and will occasionally be friends with them.- Butt-Monkey: He ends up destroyed on a frequent basis.
- Expository Theme Tune: Super Mighty Robot Piggy! He has Drills, and he is Big-y! He does have drills, and he is pretty big, but he's neither super nor mighty.
- Harmless Villain: Easily distracted, easily beaten, and somehow loveable.
- Punch-Clock Villain: He's just a robot guard doing his job, and not very well at that. Nobody holds a grudge against him. In fact the Warrior Siblings find him kind of endearing.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Perfectly content to stuff his hollow robot body full of propeller burgers.
- The Unintelligible: Communicates in a mush-mouthed mumble.
Biblia Tick and Monkey Chunks
Voiced by Kyle Carrozza
The librarian at the Library of Shhh! who makes sure everyone follows the rules, otherwise she and her sasquatch, Monkey Chunks (also voiced by Carrozza) step in and take action.
- Butt-Monkey: Monkey Chunks suffers a lot of abuse.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: While not a celebrity, Mickey Mouse was an influence on Biblia's voice, even his iconic laugh was made into her Verbal Tic.
- Punny Name: Her name, Biblia Tick, is based on the word biblioteca (Spanish for library) hinting her profession. Monkey Chunks' name is derived from the Beastie Boy's song, Brass Monkey.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Her reason for capturing Omnibus' head was because he kept overdue library books, and at first resorted to asking politely for them to be returned only to get a harsh rejection from Omnibus.
- Verbal Tic: Biblia says "mmm-hmm" at the end of each sentence.
Professor Cyrus
Voiced by Rob Paulsen
The instructor of 101 Tactics for Adventurers 101 at Adventure Academy which Prohyas and Vambre went to.- Catchphrase: "That is not the technique I've taught you!", "You did not use the techniques I've taught you at all", "Magisword use is strictly against the rules!", "BUNKY!" and "You've got to learn the RULES before you break 'em son/girl!"
- Head Pet: Frank Paul (voiced by Carrozza), a Chi-Kicken that perches on his head at all times.
- Stern Teacher: He expects his students to follow the class instructions exactly the way it's supposed to be instead of letting them do the lessons their way and confiscates the Warriors' Magiswords when they don't follow the rules.
Phibby Croax
Voiced by Arin Hansen
A classmate of Prohyas and Vambre at Adventure Academy.

- Catchphrase: "What-ho, Warriors?"
- No Mouth: In his Academy days, mouth was completely covered by his huge scarf.
- Speak of the Devil: He has the unconscious ability to appear when people specifically want his help; "Helping Cattus Help" is about attempts to harness this power to teleport inside a cave.
- Weapon Specialization: His Whirlwind Magisword is the only weapon he has. And, because of how proficient he is with it, the only one he needs.
Catty Rumpus
A duo of two cat sorcerors who were former classmates of Prohyas and Vambre at Adventure Academy.
Familiar
Voiced by Rider Strong
The most stoic and pessimistic of the duo. According to him, he enrolled to find something he's good at other than being innately agile.- Deadpan Snarker: Is the most likely one (aside from the Warriors) to snark about Cyrus's lesson or his classmates.
- The Stoic: He never seems to lose his composure at any of the weirdness that occurs in class.
Bimm
Voiced by Kate Miccuci
The most timid and cowardly of the duo. According to her, she enrolled because she doesn't know what she wants to be, so she decided to follow her family business of adventuring.- Cats Hate Water: Bimm is terrified of water, with the episode "Like Water for Bimm" focusing on the Warriors having to help her get over her feat so she and Familiar can finish their current mission.
- Nice Girl: Despite her timidness, Bimm is very helpful and sweet.

Vambre's Brain

- Jerkass: Even when she's being helpful to Vambre, she has a mean attitude.
- Meat Puppet: She can take over Vambre's body if Vambre is too tired. When this happens, Vambre's eyes and voice change to that of her brain's.
- Organ Autonomy: Despite being Vambre's brain, she's an entirely separate character and is often at odds with her.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: On rare occasions vacates Vambre's head, reducing her to a complete idiot. Luckily, she comes back out of boredom.
- Unexplained Accent: While Vambre has a British accent, her brain has a Mid-Atlantic accent.
Prohyas' Stomach
Voiced by Luke Ski (originally), Gilbert Gottfried (currently)
- Jerkass: Only cares about getting nutrition and won't let anyone get between him and food.
- Meat Puppet: In "Gut Feelings", when Prohyas refuses to eat healthier foods (like vegetables), he takes control of Prohyas when the latter is sleeping and makes him steal Hoppus' Veggie Magiswords.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: When Luke voiced the stomach in the short, he did a Gilbert Gottfried impression. When the stomach debuts in the TV series, the real Gilbert voiced him.
- Organ Autonomy: Much like Vambre's brain, Prohyas' stomach is a separate person from him.
