- Fuwalafuwalu and Marron have a policy of non-interaction with them.
- Averted with Merron and Muroon. Unlike most beavers, they don't believe in isolationism.
- Funny Animal: They are anthropomorphic beavers.

- Informed Attractiveness: She's considered a peerless beauty by other beavers.
- Seen It All: Miroon can be really unfazed to any bath hijinks that can happen like it's just Tuesday to her, implying that she's just seen enough crazy shenanigans in bath to not panic about it. Unless it's about fighting in her bath.
Moroon
Chibaku Star
Voiced by: Isao Yamagishi (JP); Lara Jill Miller (EN)
A beaver who seems to think he's a rockstar.
- Awesome Anachronistic Apparel: In Suikoden's medieval setting, he's incongruously dressed in a 1950's style biker jacket, sunglasses and carries an electric guitar.
- Battle Theme Music: Including him in the active party changes the battle theme to a guitar-driven, speed-metal remix.
- Big Sister Worship: For whatever reason, the only person he will actually not act out to is his seemingly mild-mannered older sister Meroon. She's the only person that can convince him to join the Prince as well.
- Cool Shades
- Ineffectual Loner: He's encountered in isolation at the deserted Braska Mine, where there are few, if any, humans around.

- Zunda is a relatively rare example of a female member of a group often depicted as a One-Gender Race.
- Bergen represents an example of the rarely seen dwarven child.

Wabon
Chiziku Star

- The Blacksmith: His speciality, he has the Forge skill that allows you to sharpen weapons anywhere, making him the first smith available for combat since Suikoden 1.

Zunda
Chiri Star
A dwarf with a fondness for windows.
- Apron Matron: Her look, albeit a miniaturized version.
- Cool Big Sis: How she is viewed by her fellow dwarves.
- Fantastic Racism: Initially she had little respect for humans, typically referring to everyone as just 'human'.
- Guide Dang It!: In an iteration of the Suikoden series that features some major Trial-and-Error Gameplay recruitment across the board, hers is perhaps the most specific, requiring a preternatural level of farsightedness. She must be accompanied to a specific 1F window at the Lunas enclave before she'll join and given the amount of buildings with windows in the game, this seems incredibly abstruse.
- Video Game Interface Elements: Her speciality. She can change the colour (and design) of the in-game menu windows.
Bergen
Chishuu Star
Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara (JP)
A dwarf who is being taught magic by Levi.
- The Apprentice: Under Levi.
- Cheerful Child
- Dogged Nice Guy: Poor Bergen. His "training" consists of him digging out magic orbs in exchange for seeing some of Levi's magic.
- Informed Attractiveness: A young dwarf, he is considered attractive amongst his kind, or so he claims.
- Killed Off for Real: If the unit he is in during a War Battle is defeated, there is a chance he will die.
- Our Dwarves Are All the Same: Double Subverted. Bergen is too young to have a beard and has no interest in mining or smithing. He is fascinated by magic and is trying to learn under a wizard...but he can barely use magic, because he's a Dwarf.
- Treasure Hunter: His speciality. He has the Treasure Hunt skill that increases the war trophies after battle.

Isato
Tenritsu Star
Voiced by: Isao Yamagishi (JP); Eddie Frierson (EN)
Haswar's elven bodyguard.
- Big Damn Heroes: After the Godwin coup, he bravely helps the Prince's party escape by bringing them through an elven path that crossed the North Lunas Woods.
- Composite Character: He's basically a cross between two previous elves: Kirkis and Roland as the reasonable, non-racist elf (while shaving his hair bald). Like Roland, his job is being a protective champion of someone, looking more like an elven knight/paladin. Like Kirkis, however, he constantly had to deal with his fellow elves not thinking like him and adhering to racism while he's standing for his own belief of non-racism.
- The Champion: To Lady Haswar. He is incredibly protective of her wellbeing.
- Combination Attack: Arrow Storm (with Urda) and Shining Scalp (with Wabon and Alhazred).
- Forest Ranger: When he catches Logg and Lun panning for gold in the sacred Lunas river, he advocates strict punishment to be taken against the Raftfleet father and daughter so as to set an example to others.
- In Harmony with Nature
- Nature Hero: He originally became a cleric in order to preserve the North Woods of Lunas from gold mining which would have had dire consequences for the ecosystem as well as the elven village of Alseid, from which he hails.
- Number Two: He is Lady Haswar's second in command.
- The Paladin: He is the head cleric of the Lunas enclave.
- Platonic Life-Partners: In a bath scene with Mathias and Dinn, he notes that his loyalty to Haswar had nothing to do with gender or romance.
- Undying Loyalty: To Lady Haswar. He will only join the Prince's cause when she does.

- Combination Attack: Arrow Storm, with Isato.
- Fantastic Racism: Really hates humans.
- Good Is Not Nice: She's a giant bitch, but she'll always help the Prince.
- Humans Are the Real Monsters: Oh boy, she really, really hates humans and is conspicuous amongst the Suikoden series' elf population in her absolute xenophobia. Oboro indicates during his investigation of her that he does not necessarily disagree with her assessment of humans, despite being human himself. Considering his backstory, it's not really a surprise.
- Ice Queen: Without a hint of defrosting.
- Sour Supporter: To an unbelievable degree. She only joins the Prince's Loyalist Army along with Isato and Haswar in order to ensure the former's safety amongst what she considered to be barbarians.
Recruitable Monsters
DoReMi Elves
Five monsters that are part of Cornelio's DoReMi Symphony Orchestra.

- Combination Attack: Oops, with Viki.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: He insists on his potential companions having respect for the elderly and this shows up in his recruitment process, where the Prince must be accompanied by an "old" character (Levi, Alhazred etc) who is leveled up to at least 95% of the Prince's current level.
- Mistaken For A God: He is deeply respected by all beavers, who refer to him as "Boss".
- Monster Allies: He's a giant tortoise.
- Really 700 Years Old: As seen when he requests a decade or so in order to converse with older members of the Prince's army.
- Shrouded in Myth: He is regarded as something of a myth, with only Fuwalafuwalu's father claiming to have met him in living memory.
- Squashed Flat: His "Oops!" unite attack with Viki sees her teleport him (accidently) upside down a few feet above the enemy. He crashes down, crushing them shell-first.
- Super-Toughness: Has very high base HP, Def, and Mdef, and his skills enhance them.
- Translator Buddy: He acts as this for Byakuren, impressing on her the heroic nature of the Prince's cause, which helps to convince her to join.
