- Huepow is a spirit who lives inside the wind ring, a magical object that allows its bearer to inflate mooks. Klonoa met him while walking in the woods one day, and they've been best friends ever since. Except... that was all a lie. He's actually the humanoid prince of Cress, the long-hidden Moon Kingdom, who summoned Klonoa from another world and gave him fake memories so he could save Phantomile from Ghadius' nightmares. However, during their adventure, he grew attached to Klonoa, and felt horribly guilty when he told him the truth. When Klonoa was forcibly sucked out of Phantomile, Huepow was on the verge of tears.
- Huepow was chosen to represent Platforming Pocket Pal because because he disappears into the wind ring during gameplay, allowing him to stay with Klonoa at all times. Naturally, he reunited with Klonoa shortly after ascending... and it was very awkward. Klonoa didn't hate Huepow per se, since he'd long since come to accept his role as the Dream Traveller, but Huepow still felt too guilty to talk to him. However, when they learned Joka was causing trouble in the Pantheon, they teamed up to stop him.
- Lenna was horrified when she learned about what Huepow did to Klonoa. Despite his repentance and best intentions, she just can't forgive him. It's eerily similar to what Delvin did to her — altering her memories and then manipulating her because he thought it would save the kingdom, but instead only corrupting it more. Similarly, Shadow the Hedgehog thought he had fake memories at one point, so he's wary of Huepow.
- Naturally, Huepow gets along with moon-related deities. He especially sympathises with Princess Luna, who was sealed away in the moon, much like how the Moon Kingdom was sealed off from the rest of Phantomile for a long time. Plus, just like Klonoa, Luna can enter dreams. However, he's enemies with Luna's Superpowered Evil Side, Nightmare Moon, because she tried to cover the world in darkness like Ghadius. Usagi, or Sailor Moon, is also the heir of a moon kingdom, though in her case, she didn't know about it until later in life. Huepow also gets along with Nebby's Lunala form even though doesn't have any powers over the moon; she just happens to have the aesthetic. He doesn't take kindly to Dr. Eggman, who once blew up half the moon, or the entity possessing Majora's Mask, who tried to crash the moon into Termina.
- Huepow has a lot in common with Naminé and Shūkurō Tsukishima. Naminé was forced to alter Sora's memories to make him think she was his childhood friend instead of Kairi, who she was a clone of. She hates using her powers, and eventually restored Sora's memories to normal, but he had to forget all about her as a side-effect. Shūkurō is the God of Fake Memories, and used to use his powers to mess with people, but eventually reformed and felt remorse for his actions.
