It's believed that many unfortunate events in Neopia are her doing, but this has never been confirmed.

It seems the smog choking the Neopia air and clouding the forests has been affecting all of the Earth and Water Faeries. She's vulnerable, and… if you wanted, could be out of your way for good.
Jhudora: The pollution… Vulnerable? No. No, I couldn't. Part of me does still hate her for what she did to me, but I couldn't do that…uh, not while she is in such a pathetic state, that is! - Villains Out Shopping: A 2006 Advent Calendar animation shows her baking heart-shaped cookies during Christmas with her pet Bartamus.

However, this would make him an exception to the rule that there are no human characters in Neopia (the odd caricatured staff member notwithstanding) and theories have ranged from him being a male faerie (also unprecedented) to a very humanoid Neopet such as a Grundo or a Mynci.
- The Artifact: His (apparent) humanity is a bit of remnant Early-Installment Weirdness from a time when some of the site's NPCs were human; while most were changed to known pet species, the Tiki Tack Man remained as-is.

- Jade-Colored Glasses: According to his backstory on Neopedia, he was a kind-hearted Animal Lover who ended up in his current role at the pound after earning his medical degree and setting out to make a positive difference in the world. Years of watching innocent Neopets abandoned by their owners made him the embittered soul he is today.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold
- Nice Guy: Despite his grumpy exterior, he is actually this.
- Younger Than They Look: Neopedia lists his age as simply "[n]ot anywhere near as old as he looks."

- Nice Girl: Possibly the kindest of the faeries, she dedicates her life's work to making sure that Neopia's poor have enough to eat.

Boochi
A strange Baby Bruce who goes around zapping other pets with his ray gun and turning them into babies.
- Ambiguously Evil: Even according to his Neopedia article, it is hard to tell if Boochi is good or evil. Is he evil, because he can zap your painted pet into a baby and ruin their expensive paint job? Or is he good, because he can give you the baby pet you want for free and save you a trip to the Hidden Tower to buy an expensive Baby Paint Brush?
- Art Evolution: Boochi's first design had him only wearing a bowtie. After being redrawn, he now wears a sailor outfit.

- Riddle for the Ages: Who created his ray gun, and why does he go around zapping pets into babies? We may never know.
MSPP (Malevolent Sentient Poogle Plushie)
- Ambidextrous Sprite: All poogles wearing the Nostalgic MSP Poogle stylenote have their blue patch on the right of their torso and left hind leg colored blue instead of the opposite like they normally have.
- Ambiguously Evil: Despite their malicious appearance, a TCG card of one considers it as a Hero and MSPPs in general are excluded from the Gallery of Evil, thus bordering them onto either Creepy Good or Dark Is Not Evil. Furthermore, all poogles painted MSP can act friendly to their owners when interacted. Whether MSPPs are really evil or just innocent beings that are misunderstood is left up in the air.
- Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag: Before the customization update, if a poogle is colored MSP, they will stand on their hind legs. However, since the aforementioned update, any poogle colored MSP stand on all fours, thus giving them the same stock pose that most poogle colors have. Despite this, it is still possible to have them stand on their hind legs again through a NC pet style at any time at the cost of not being able to customize them.note
- Creepy Doll: Downplayed due to their Ambiguously Evil nature, but the fact that they have large red eyes and Scary Teeth makes them look very creepy. It is even advised that one should never be left alone with your neopets. Ever.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Implied. While they do appear and act malicious, the TCG card for the MSPP lists one as a "hero", indicating that they may not be really evil after all. But who knows?
- Evil Counterpart: Downplayed, but MSPPs are the more malicious counterpart to an ordinary poogle plushie, and, by extension, plushie-colored poogles. However, it is still unclear how evil they truly are.
- Living Toys: Due to their sentient nature, they can make noises, and can even walk on their hind legs. Players can even paint their poogles the MSP color (which is exclusive to them) via the lab ray or transform any pet into an MSP poogle by having them play an extremely rare magical plushie.
