4	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deblob1_1.jpg]]
5
6	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DeeBradleyBaker
7
8	The main character with an amazing ability to absorb paint that can color buildings and restore life to the world. He's Chroma and Prisma City's only hope of stopping the I.N.K.T. Corporation.
9	----
10	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: The version of Blob in the PC game has a much more bloated-looking and monsterous design, and can be best described as looking similar to [[UsefulNotes/{{McDonalds}} Grimace]]. The more well-known version of Blob, as seen in the picture, is slimmed down and more stereotypically "cute", with beady eyes and rabbit traits.
11	* AdaptationalHeroism: In the PC game, he absorbs people to paint things, while the following games have him use paint-stealing robots and paint puddles.
12	* AmbiguousSpecies: He lives on Planet Raydia and has all the physical traits of a Raydian (with rabbit-like ears and a tan marking around his mouth), but he's more blob-like compared to his more humanoid friends, seems to lack feet, and can absorb paint and change his color, a power that only he seems to possess, so he might as well be a living blob of paint that just looks like a Raydian.
13	* BadassAdorable: Being the main character in a cast of [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Ridiculously Cute Critters]], it's a given.
14	* BlobMonster: It's even his name.
15	* CountryMouse: He hails from a small village deep in the jungle called Pantone Village. The comic explains that Blob first came to Chroma City to show off his painting prowess, but found the city life to be too much for him. He retreated back to the jungle two days before the events of the game but soon [[JumpedAtTheCall answered the call]] when I.N.K.T. begins their invasion of Raydia.
16	* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: His special ability is changing colors and painting everything he touches. A certain power-up makes him invincible at maximum paint capacity and constantly changing colors.
17	* FertileFeet: Well, he doesn't really have feet, but everything he slides over while colored can be returned to their former glory, including grass and trees.
18	* GoodIsNotSoft: He has no problem attacking [[WhatMeasureIsAMook hundreds upon hundreds of Inkies]] or dealing with those who have wronged his people (such as Comrade Black and Dr. Von Blot) in a brutal manner, but only does so to save his planet and help his people.
19	* GreenThumb: In addition to painting everything he touches, he can also replenish grass and trees and cause a WorldHealingWave that will bring an area of the city back to life.
20	* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Sure, being able to paint things isn't a powerful ability in the conventional sense, but it is helpful when your entire planet relies on color, and a lot of the tasks that Blob has to carry out ''require'' these powers.
21	* HeroicMime: He still utters some gibberish phrases in the gameplay, but that's about it. We never get any dialogue boxes from him. He does speak a lot in the promo comic however. It's implied that Blob's [[SpeakingSimlish language]] is slightly different to the Raydian language, making him TheUnintelligible.
22	* HeroWithBadPublicity: The Inkies ''try'' to make Blob this through their propaganda and brainwashing, fortunately failing in doing so.
23	* IdiotHero: He's intelligent enough in the Wii games, yet for some reason morphs into this in the DS game.
24	* InexplicablyAwesome: There's never any sort of explanation of where his completely unique color powers come from or what he even is.
25	* LazyBum: When he's not trying to save Raydia, he's usually lounging around.
26	* LightningBruiser: He can outmaneuver and destroy just about anything the I.N.K.T. forces throw at him at a brisk pace even when at max paint and is large as a tank.
27	* LivingLegend: As mentioned in the promo comic, Blob is considered a legend among the citizens of Chroma City due to his painting powers. Prior to the events of the game, Blob vanished back into the wilderness when he found the city life to be too much for him.
28	* NatureLover: Apparently he prefers to live away from the hustle and bustle of Chroma City in the wilderness just outside. At the end of the first game, he celebrates his victory by resting on a tree branch on a hill overlooking the city.
29	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: PlayedForLaughs when his powers accidentally cause a bird to have trouble flying.
30	* {{Sizeshifter}}: Grows larger the more paint he's absorbed starting from roughly the same size as any other Raydian to being around 5 times as large. The second Wii game's upgrade system allows him to increase his maximum size and paint absorption even further.
31	* SuddenlySpeaking: Blob is only shown speaking in the ''Long Live Color!'' promo comic.

34	[[folder:Zip]]
35	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zip_0.png]]
36
37	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LaraJillMiller
38
39	An energetic, blue Raydian, and a member of the Color Underground. Zip is small and hyperactive, and gets around on a pair of in-line skates. In the first game, he gives racing challenges.
40	----
41	* BadassAdorable: He's smaller than the other characters, but definitely badass.
42	* TheLancer: The closest the team has to one, anyway.
43	* LovableJock: He loves extreme sports and is always seen with a pair of roller blades and sport goggles. His challenges in the first game have to do with racing from Point A to Point B.
44	* {{Keet}}: The most hyperactive of the cast.
45	[[/folder]]
46
47	[[folder:Prof]]
48	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prof_4.png]]
49
50	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DeeBradleyBaker
51
52	An old, brown Raydian and the leader of the Colour Underground. Prof is the group's strategist, with the most knowledge of the city's inner workings, as well as the ability to build just about any machine the group could need. In the first game, he gives transformation challenges.
53	----
54	* CoolChair: His hovering saucer-like wheelchair, which he calls his Pants Engine.
55	* CoolOldGuy: Old, yet pretty competent at his job.
56	* GadgeteerGenius: He's an inventor.
57	* GeniusCripple: He's a GadgeteerGenius who can't move around without his chair. When Comrade Black steals it in the second game, Bif spends the remainder of the story carrying Prof around on his back.
58	* HighClassGlass: Wears a monocle.
59	* NoMouth: His mouth is covered by his mustache.
60	* TheSmartGuy: While he does run the Colour Underground itself, he does most of the technical work while Blob does most of the leadership stuff.
61	[[/folder]]
62
63	[[folder:Bif]]
64	[[quoteright:262:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bif_0.png]]
65
66	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DeeBradleyBaker (with some archival audio from Creator/BillMelendez)
67
68	A strong, orange Raydian, and a member of the Colour Underground. Bif is gruff, and prefers to solve his problems with physical violence more often than not. He's the Color Underground's muscle when Blob is absent. In the first game, he gives combat challenges.
69	----
70	* TheBigGuy: He's the toughest of the gang.
71	* BoisterousBruiser: The challenges involving him always have to do with defeating Inkies.
72	[[/folder]]
73
74	[[folder:Arty]]
75	[[quoteright:160:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arty.jpg]]
76
77	->'''Voiced by:''' Amber Hood
78
79	A cheerful, green Raydian, and a member of the Color Underground. Arty is bright and bubbly, with a love for all things colorful. She's never seen without her paintbrush in hand. In the first game, she gives painting challenges.
80	----
81	* GenkiGirl: A very cheerful, art-loving girl.
82	* HartmanHips: Her thin pear shape gives off this impression.
83	* TheHeart: The most down-to-earth of the main cast. She keeps spirits up with the rest of the Color Underground.
84	* MeaningfulName: Arty is very artistic.
85	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Until Pinky showed up, she was the only woman on the team. She is still the sole female Raydian of the Color Underground.
86	[[/folder]]
87
88	[[folder:Pinky]]
89	[[quoteright:257:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pinky_5.png]]
90
91	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CandiMilo
92
93	A pink, flying robot created by the Prof to act as a companion and guide for Blob as he fights the I.N.K.T. Corporation. Pinky is cheerful and friendly, but will not hesitate to break out the arm cannons when her friends or her home are in danger. She can be controlled by a second player.
94	----
95	* ActionGirl: She can shoot out lasers and has helped Blob fight off enemies.
96	* BadassAdorable: A small robot who assists Blob during his journey through Prisma City.
97	* CuteMachines: A tiny robot who is also pretty adorable.
98	* TheCutie: Possibly the cutest in the cast, despite not even being a Raydian, mainly due to her small size and friendly personality.
99	* {{Expy}}: She has a lot of similarities to Eve from WesternAnimation/WallE.
100	* {{Fembot}}: She's a pink robot with a feminine voice.
101	* PinkMeansFeminine: She's a female robot with a pink color scheme.
102	* RobotBuddy: Serves as one to the Colour Underground, but especially to Blob.
103	* SayMyName: Often does this to Blob.
104	* SixthRanger: Becomes part of the Color Underground in the second game. The DS version explains her sudden appearance in the console version by being first built to assist Blob through the Laboratory incident.
105	[[/folder]]
106
107	!!The I.N.K.T. Corporation
108	[[folder:Comrade Black]]
109	[[quoteright:174:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/black_41.jpg]]
110
111	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LaraJillMiller
112
113	The leader of the Inkies and I.N.K.T. Corporation and main villain of the game, who has come to Planet Raydia to drain it of its color, fun, and life. Childish, petty and vengeful, Comrade Black seeks to become Raydia's ruler, and will stamp out anything and anyone standing in the way of that goal.
114	----
115	* BadBoss: He's a horrible boss to the Inkies, often abusing them, like sending them into a furnace through a trapdoor or using them for experiments.
116	* BigBad: He controls the Inkies and is the reason why Raydia is under attack.
117	* BreakingTheFourthWall: In the final stage of the sequel, he tells the player to open the pause menu and quit the game. Later on, he says to [[SuicideDare move Blob to the edge of the platform and jump]].
118	* TheCaligula: Not only a power-hungry dictator, but also a massive bully who uses a vast army and lots of powerful high-tech weapons to victimize and enslave a peaceful race of aliens who don't even have a way of protecting themselves other than a select group of rebels. Pair that with his BadBoss tendencies and cruel treatment towards the Graydians.
119	* CoolChair: He steals the Prof's Pants Engine for himself in the second game, and manages to find its built-in weaponry. This becomes part of his boss battle later on.
120	* ControlFreak: He's obsessed with seizing Raydia as a planet of his own and shaping it exactly the way he wants it to be.
121	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Has shades of being one. Not only does he run a corporation, he also replaces the landmarks with banks and other business-related facilities and turns the Raydians into [[WhiteCollarWorker White Collar Workers]]. In the sequel, he also attempts to mass-produce an I.N.K.T.-branded, brainwashing soda.
122	* DirtyCommunists: He's named ''Comrade'' Black, and leads an organization dedicated to homogenize the population.
123	* DirtyCoward: Prone to running away instead of confronting Blob and other enemies face-to-face. Around the end of the second game, he leaves the atmosphere on a rocket ship while also leaving behind his soldiers.
124	* TheDreaded: To Planet Raydia, at least. When he reveals his true nature after pretending to be Papa Blanc, the Raydians understandably freak out.
125	* EvilGloating: Does this alot in the last level of the second game, in which Pinky {{lampshades}} how annoying it is.
126	* EvilIsHammy: Especially around the end of the sequel where he practically revels in EvilGloating.
127	* EvilOverlord: He's your typical ObviouslyEvil sci-fi fantasy conqueror.
128	* EvilWearsBlack: Or rather, Evil ''Is'' Black. He's a being made out of ink and hates anything associated with color. He even has "black" in his name.
129	* FatBastard: Briefly becomes an obese-looking, gigantic hulk during [[spoiler:the final boss battle by exposing himself to color energy.]]
130	* FinalBoss: His mecha is the ''only'' boss in the first game, and he serves as the end boss of the second, fighting using the Pants Engine and his [[OneWingedAngel newly mutated form]].
131	* GalacticConqueror: It's stated in his character profile for the first game that the INKT Corporation is a galaxy-spanning force and that his takeover of Raydia was to "bring a new order to a backwards civilization drowning in color chaos".
132	* GeneralFailure: While he did briefly succeed in creating a dictatorship twice on Raydia, he still eventually gets thwarted by Blob in both games, and while generally more competent and intelligent than other Inkies, he can still be scatterbrained at times, failing to do simple tasks that will help him win against Blob like remembering to lock up a ladder leading to a superweapon, or y'know, not leaving behind rockets for Blob to use as he retreats into space.
133	* GigglingVillain: Is prone to letting out a devious chuckle whenever he believes he has Blob cornered.
134	* HairTriggerTemper: Especially when the Color Underground start foiling his plans.
135	* HumongousMecha: Has a huge mech designed to resemble himself with ink pen-shaped blasters on the arms [[spoiler:He puts it to use against Blob in the final boss battle of the first game.]]
136	* ItsAllAboutMe: He also seems to have a massive ego, setting up huge statues of himself across any city he overthrows, and getting extremely angry when they're defaced.
137	* KickTheDog: In the Prison Zoo stage, it's shown that he captured all of Blob's teammates, locked them up in cages, subjected them to public humiliation (even stealing the Professor's wheelchair and keeping it for himself), and then proceeded to taunt Blob and Pinky about it. While incarcerating most of the Colour Underground would help him in his plans in the long run, setting them up in public display and treating them like zoo animals was clearly only something he did ForTheEvulz and only shows how much of a {{Sadist}} he is.
138	* LaughablyEvil: Most of Comrade Black's antics involve angry outbursts over Blob ruining his plans or goofy slapstick gags.
139	* MakeMyMonsterGrow: At the end of the second game, he exposes himself to color energy in desperation and grows in height and [[FatBastard girth]].
140	* PsychopathicManchild: He's prone to throwing childish tantrums (e.g.: throwing stuff around) when things don't go his way.
141	* TheNapoleon: He's tinier than the main characters, and has a nasty temper to boot.
142	* SuddenlyVoiced: Initially we don't get any dialogue boxes from Comrade Black, just the usual SpeakingSimlish in the cutscenes. In the second game, we get dialogue fron him as early as the fourth level... and in the last level, we get even more dialogue from him, and it's ''[[MotorMouth a lot]]''.
143	* TakeOverTheCity: Tries to take over two of them on Planet Raydia. He takes over Chroma City in the first game and Prisma City in the sequel.
144	* WrongGenreSavvy: Comrade Black sneers at Blob in the last level of De Blob 2, [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway "Do you really think painting things will help you now?"]] [[TemptingFate Yes, Black,]] [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower yes it will.]]

151
152	Comrade Black's loyal soldiers and the main enemies in the ''de Blob'' series.
153	----
154	* AdaptationalVillainy: In the PC game, I.N.K.T. is a police force that is AmbiguouslyEvil at best and possibly authoritarian at worst, and the only antagonistic thing they are shown doing is hunting down Blob, which may even possibly make them [[AntiVillain Anti-Villains]] considering [[AntiHero Blob's rampaging throughout the city absorbing its residents]]. In the following games however, they are a blatantly evil oppressive dictatorship who tries to enslave Raydia out of thirst for power and are actively shown throughout the games torturing Raydians.
155	* AdorableEvilMinions: They're tiny blobs of ink who aren't really that much of a threat individually, but are rarely alone and have [[EliteMooks marginally more competent members]] as well.
156	* AlwaysChaoticEvil: They're an [[AliensAreBastards alien species]] that hate color, love oppressing anything that's not them, are led by an evil dictator, and are hell-bent on taking over and draining life on a colorful planet.
157	* ANaziByAnyOtherName: They're essentially ThoseWackyNazis but as an alien race who wants to exterminate color and fun.
158	* BizarreAlienBiology: They appear to be [[AnimateInanimateObject sentient blobs of ink]] but also have one mechanical eye, making them possibly MechanicalLifeforms as well.
159	* ButtMonkey: They often suffer abuse under the hands of their boss, Blob, or [[TooDumbToLive themselves]].
160	* CommieNazis: They lean more on the Nazi side than the Commie side, but the Inkies are blatantly inspired by Nazi, Communist, and Fascist regimes.
161	* {{Cyclops}}: They all have only one eye.
162	* DirtyCommunists: They're out to homogenize the population.
163	* EliteMooks:
164	** Heavy Inkies are inkthrower-toting Inkies who can only be harmed via stomping (in the second game) and take a good chunk of paint points to squish.
165	** Elite Inkies, which are Inkies that must be stomped on with a certain color to be taken out. The sequel features variants who can cycle through primary or secondary colors.
166	** Spikey Inkies are anti-air units who'll shoot Blob with their missile launchers if he attempts to jump or stomp while one's around, and can only be harmed via charging.
167	* EvilSoundsRaspy: Their spoken language sounds mostly like high-pitched, guttural snarling.
168	* FatBastard: Spikey Inkies are fatter than normal Inkies. They're also some of the most dangerous enemies in the game.
169	* {{Gasshole}}: The obese Spikey Inkies are accompanied by farting noises when they're introduced.
170	* HiddenDepths: One of the Inkies is shown to have a liking towards ice-skating.
171	* LaughablyEvil: They are not-so-bright, bumbling minions who, like their boss, are also prone to slapstick humor.
172	* MadScientist: The Inky scientists, who [[AliensOfLondon inexplicably]] [[HerrDoktor speak with German-accented gibberish]].
173	* MalevolentMaskedMen: Shepherds wear [[WhiteMaskOfDoom creepy white masks]].
174	* MechanicalLifeforms: Seems to be implied by the Inky Fabricator stage, as Inkies are non-sentient and immobile until their mechanical eye is placed into the ink.
175	* NightmareFetishist: One of the Inky scientists in the second game is oddly fascinated seeing Blob (who is effectively a ManOfKryptonite to the Inkies) up close.
176	* OneGenderRace: Pretty much all the Inkies you encounter over the course of the game are male, although there are some extra cutscenes serving as [[FakeAdvertisement Fake Advertisements]] that reveal that female Inkies ''do'' exist, meaning they're either very rare or [[StayInTheKitchen Comrade Black barred them from grunt work]] in favor of [[SexSells assigning them acting jobs for propaganda videos]].
177	* PokemonSpeak: In addition to SpeakingSimlish, they also say "Ink!" and "Inky!", usually as a {{Battlecry}}.
178	* ScaryDogmaticAliens: They're essentially spacefaring [[CommieNazis Communazis]]. Their leader is even named ''Comrade'' Black.
179	* StarfishLanguage: Barcodes. Though when talking, they [[SpeakingSimlish Speak Simlish]] like the heroes.
180	* UngratefulBastard: Even after Blob goes through a brief EnemyMine with them and defeats the Mutant Inky, they all go back to hunting him down and treating him like a monster. Justified though, as it's not like Blob did it for them anyway since the monster was dangerous to Raydians as well, and even afterwards the Inkies were still scheming to take over Raydia with Blob trying to stop them.

185
186	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LaraJillMiller
187
188	Enemies that appear in De Blob 2. They're Raydians who have been brainwashed by the Blanc cult to hate anything colorful. Some are non-violent, only handing out pinwheels and preaching about Grey Day, but others... not so much.
189	----
190	* AdorableEvilMinions: Like the Inkies, they're small and cute, although they are also examples of [[KillerRabbit Killer Rabbits]] since they chase after the protagonist and latch onto him.
191	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: They are Raydians who have been brainwashed into hating color and attacking Blob.
192	* {{Cult}}: One dedicated to removing color from Prisma City and converting as many Raydians into fellow Blancs as possible.
193	* CorruptTheCutie: Originally happy Raydians who have been turned into color-hating mooks of Comrade Black who are sent to track down and kill Blob. Luckily, they are restored back to themselves whenever Blob stomps on them.
194	* CreepyMonotone: They speak this way, with their speech sounding very soft and airy.
195	* LightIsNotGood: Their color motif is white.
196	* SkullForAHead: The Blancs' faces resemble skulls whenever they go into attack mode.

202
203	Comrade Black's chief Inky scientist who was fiercely devoted to him and the main antagonist of ''De Blob 2 (DS)''. He turned into the monster De Blot after being exposed to [[MutagenicGoo the mutated ink]] he was experimenting with.
204	----
205	* EvilCounterpart: Is this to Blob.
206	* FangsAreEvil: He has large, sharp fangs.
207	* FromNobodyToNightmare: Von Blot goes from a normal Inky scientist to a mutated monster who takes charge of INKT while Comrade Black is AWOL.
208	* HornsOfVillainy: In contrast to Blob's rabbit-ears, he has two impish horns on his head while standing.
209	* MadScientist: Before his transformation, he was experimenting on creatures with a mutated type of ink.

218	----
219	* AliensOfLondon: He talks with an American SurferDude accent, although like every other Raydian he still speaks in their unintelligible language.
220	* RedIsHeroic: He's a red color and is a NiceGuy who helps out Blob.
221	* SurferDude: Talks this way.

230	----
231	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: They're a race of multicolored beings who live in a society whose culture revolves around color.
232	* BewareTheNiceOnes: When the time desperately calls for it, they're willing to revolt against Comrade Black and his army.
233	* IntelligentGerbil: They somewhat resemble rabbits, although they behave much similar to humans.

243	----
244	* BodyHorror: A massive, mutated freak made out of ink.
245	* EvilVersusOblivion: Its mere existence forces the Inkies to briefly swallow their pride and ally with the LaResistance Color Underground to kill it. Once the monster is dead, [[IgnoredEpiphany the original conflict resumes]] since they're still trying to [[TakeOverTheWorld achieve world domination]] anyway but needed Blob's help to bring it down before it wiped out all ink and color life in the immediate vicinity.
246	* ExtraEyes: Unlike the cyclopic Inkies, he has four eyes.
247	* KillItWithFire: He's weak to heat.
