| 10 | !!!'''Prince Merkimer of Bentwood (in exile)''' |
| 11 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prince_merkimer.jpg]] |
| 12 | [[caption-width-right:350:''"As someone who was born rich, powerful and beautiful, I've never needed to rely on grace or charm."'']] |
| 13 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MattBerry (English), Dafnis Fernandez (Latin American Spanish) |
| 14 | |
| 15 | The younger brother/cousin of Prince Guysbert, who becomes Bean's next fiancé after the aforementioned demise of his brother. However, his wedding is also aborted after he suddenly turns into a pig. |
| 16 | ---- |
| 17 | * ActorAllusion: Merkimer is voiced by Creator/MattBerry, who's playing yet another somewhat dimwitted womanizer with {{Cloudcuckoolander}} moments, much like Douglas Renholm of ''Series/TheITCrowd''. |
| 18 | * AnimalStereotypes: As a pig, he remains a perverted chauvinist. |
| 19 | * {{Animorphism}}: He's [[ForcedTransformation cursed and transformed]] into a pig during the middle of his wedding, due to drinking a mixture of pig's blood enchanted with Elfo's magic blood. |
| 20 | * AssholeVictim: You don't feel too bad for him when he transformed into a pig. |
| 21 | * ArrangedMarriage: For the same reasons as his older brother, he's expected to marry Bean just to strengthen political ties between Bentwood and Dreamland. And presumably so that Zog can save face as well, after his daughter accidentally caused Guysbert's death. |
| 22 | * TheBeastmaster: He managed to take control over a herd of 30 walruses by ''fucking'' them. However, this was actually because he was under their mind-control spell, and he thought that the walruses were mermaids. |
| 23 | * BestialityIsDepraved: He had sex with '''thirty walruses'''. To be fair, he was affected by their song and thought that he was sleeping with mermaids. |
| 24 | * BrainlessBeauty: It's not just the fact that he was dumb enough to mistake walruses for mermaids. For some reason, he thought it was a good idea to drink ''a whole cup full of magical blood'' because he somehow thought it was an aphrodisiac/sexual performance enhancer. He's nowhere near as bad as [[TooDumbToLive his brother]], though. |
| 25 | * BrotherSisterIncest: His parents are siblings. |
| 26 | * ButtMonkey: Especially after he's [[ForcedTransformation turned into a pig]]. |
| 27 | -->'''Merkimer''': Sad! |
| 28 | * CainAndAbel: Seems to be the mean, intelligent brother to Guysbert's dumb but nice brother. Merkimer even tells Bean that killing his brother is part of why he's attracted to her. |
| 29 | * TheCasanova: He's extremely lustful, and sees marrying Bean as just another opportunity for a sexual conquest. Bean plays his promiscuity against him, by tricking him into going on a sailing trip to Mermaid Island so he could get laid by its inhabitants (though nobody was expecting that he'd [[BestialityIsDepraved bump into walruses instead]]). |
| 30 | * CatchPhrase: "Sad!" whenever his feelings are hurt after his transformation. |
| 31 | * CharacterDevelopment: Becoming a pig has humbled him ''greatly''. Demonstrated perfectly in season 3. He decides to save Bean, Elfo, and Luci from [[ItMakesSenseInContext drowning in gold coins]], tossing his dreams of ruling Bentwood and becoming human again in the process. Bean expresses sincere gratitude to him. |
| 32 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: |
| 33 | ** Merkimer is an arrogant braggart, and among his boasting includes claims of some great achievements during his military service. However, Merkimer turns out to ''not'' be an [[MilesGloriosus incompetent coward]] as one might expect from a character like him; as shown when he leads the walruses on an assault against the Borc naval crew, managing to kill all of them in the process. [[spoiler:Even though it turns out that those "Borcs" were actually ''Bozaks'', [[NiceJobBreakingItHero members of a nation allied to Dreamland]].]] |
| 34 | ** Likewise, after he gets turned into a pig, he's frequently treated as a ButtMonkey and is generally so self-obsessed that he pays little attention to what's going on around him. When he ''does'' pay attention, though (such as when briefly serving as Zog's advisor), he turns out to be one of the more politically-savvy members of the cast. |
| 35 | * DealWithTheDevil: Strikes a bargain with Luci. Luci being LaughablyEvil, Merkimer has to give him a horsey ride instead of his soul. |
| 36 | * EmotionalRegression: Falls back into his old selfish, chauvinistic ways during a visit to Bentwood in Season 3. [[spoiler:He gets better.]] |
| 37 | * {{Expy}}: He’s the show’s answer to [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Zapp Brannigan]], being a CasanovaWannabe and acting like a great man, but is really the opposite. |
| 38 | * FreakyFridayFlip: When he's transformed into a pig via an "elixir" of pig's blood with a drop of Elfo's, the pig that donated the blood gets turned into a clone of his human self. |
| 39 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Learns the hard way that even as a human he was this in "Hey, Pig Spender," with even his parents not liking him. |
| 40 | * FriendOrIdolDecision: In "Hey, Pig Spender" [[spoiler:he gives up his chance to become human again, and to rule Bentwood as King, in order to save Bean and her friends]]. |
| 41 | * HeelRealization: In "Hey, Pig Spender," while Merkimer has known he was a jerkass for a while, [[spoiler:overhearing Bean, Luci and Elfo talk about how they thought he was their friend]] causes him to realize how bad he is. |
| 42 | * HonestAdvisor: ''Briefly'' serves as this to Zog in "Stairway to Hell" - by process of elimination, as there's no one else around for Zog to talk to. It doesn't seem to do much good, as Zog ignores his advice. |
| 43 | ** Despite all his other flaws, he doesn't seem to ever ''lie''. It's more pronounced after he becomes a pig, but he seems to not have that layer of guile and deception nearly every other character in the show has and tells the truth as he knows it. Before that, while he was still human, this straightforwardness had the effect of accentuating his jerkassness. |
| 44 | * HiddenDepths: While he's generally a {{Jerkass}} and comes off as a BrainlessBeauty, his advice to Zog and, later, to Prince Derek shows that he's more aware and politically savvy than he seems at first; he just usually doesn't ''care''. |
| 45 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:When given a chance to kill Bean and co (When he got everything he wanted) ultimately decides to save his comrades.]] |
| 46 | * HumiliationConga: He's become very depressed and self-pitying due to his transformation from a successful prince to a lowly pig. Especially because he's now too ugly to seduce women. |
| 47 | * {{Irony}} It takes him becoming a literal chauvinist pig to become less of a metaphorical one. |
| 48 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's a vain, arrogant, obnoxious braggart and a womanizer. |
| 49 | * JerkassRealization: He comes to understand just how big of a dick he actually was after spending some time as a pig. Not that it actually stops him from being one, though as a result he TookALevelInKindness. |
| 50 | * KarmicTransformation: It's rather fitting that a perverted misogynist like himself is now a pig, both figuratively and literally. Also as a narcissist who enjoyed charming and banging women, he's saddened that girls no longer think he's a handsome guy. |
| 51 | * LackOfEmpathy: Disturbingly enough, he doesn't offer any sympathy for his own brother's impalement. He even tells Bean that he's been smitten with her ever since she accidentally "killed" his brother. |
| 52 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Meta-example; he seems to be named after the real-life Frankish king [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcomer Marcomer]], but with the spelling altered a bit. |
| 53 | * {{Narcissist}}: Merkimer is convinced he was the most good-looking man "in all the land". Tess tells everyone he isn't lying, he really believes it. |
| 54 | * OddFriendship: Strikes one with Zog in "Stairway to Hell", when he turns out to be one of the few citizens of Dreamland to avoid the petrification. |
| 55 | * OutOfFocus: Does not appear in part 4 at all, nor is even mentioned. |
| 56 | * PrinceCharmless: He's a boorish and egotistic prince, so it's no wonder why Bean would be extremely reluctant to marry a man like him. After a few weeks as a pig, he even admits as being such to Luci. |
| 57 | * RichesToRags: He was a hedonistic prince before turning into a pig. For being a pig, his parents abandoned him in Dreamland and left him as a common farm animal. |
| 58 | * RoyalInbreeding: Because his parents are siblings, his brother is also his cousin. |
| 59 | * SpoiledBrat: Being a rich prince who got everything he wanted without ever having to work or be nice to others has left him a rotten person. He's even referred to as a spoiled rotten and ungrateful in Season 3. |
| 60 | * StrawMisogynist: Aside from being a huge philanderer, he admits that he doesn't listen to women, as he doesn't care what they have to say. [[spoiler:Later on he improves somewhat, at least to the point of trying to help Bean get her play published, though he still doesn't quite get it right.]] |
| 61 | * TalkingAnimal: He still keeps his human voice and ability to speak even after becoming a pig. |
| 62 | * ThrowTheDogABone: At the very end of the series, [[spoiler:he becomes Prime Minster of Dreamland for its new rulers, and it turns out that Miss Moonpence is a female talking pig, who he's implied to end up with.]] |
| 63 | * TookALevelInJerkass: He invokes this when telling Bean that after they marry, Merkimer - who has already shown himself to be a colossal jerkass anyway - will become even ''worse''. In Season 3, [[spoiler:he slides back into his old JerkAss ways when he returns to Bentwood with Bean and co. to ask his parents for money and weapons]]. |
| 64 | * TookALevelInKindness: He's a bit of a dick before his ForcedTransformation, however afterwards he begins to straighten up once he can no longer get by on his looks, and has a HeelRealization over just how bad he was. While in season 2 he ''does'' steal Bean's play and takes credit for it, he claims he did it (and reedited it to focus on Zog) because it's the only way Bean could have it performed in the misogynistic kingdom, and he does give her the money it made even if that wasn't what she really wanted. Additionally, [[spoiler:when he realizes his testimony about being "smitten" with Bean is just going to be used against her by the KangarooCourt at her trial, he tries defend her by pointing out that his current state was because of his ''own'' actions, and nothing that Bean did ''to'' him]]. |
| 65 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: He's surprised during the beginning phase of his transformation into a pig. But, he still walks down the aisle thinking that Bean will still marry him. Considering his narcissism and chauvinism, he probably thought that it wouldn't matter. |
| 66 | * WarriorPrince: He served as a soldier in Bentwood's army, and as detailed in CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass, he's a surprisingly competent fighter. |
| 67 | * WhatTheHellHero: In "Love's Tender Rampage" he calls [[TokenEvilTeammate Luci]] out for agreeing to help him find a date for the ball and then seducing all the girls for himself. Even ''Luci'' feels a little bad. |

| 70 | [[folder:Lord and Lady Lingonberry]] |
| 71 | !!!'''Lord Lingonberry and Lady Lingonberry''' |
| 72 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MauriceLaMarche (Lord) and ??? (Lady) |
| 73 | |
| 74 | An old noble couple in Dreamland. Lord Lingonberry died after a failed experiment by Sorcerio with Elfo's blood. Lady Lingonberry is the victim of a carriage-jacking by Bean and her friends. |
| 75 | ---- |
| 76 | * CharacterDeath: Lord Lingonberry dies without any fanfare in Sorcerio's laboratory. His poor widow may not even know that his body was devoured by pigs. |
| 77 | * CoolOldGuy: Lord Lingonberry was described by Sorcerio as "a good man, a family man". Indeed, he seemed to be quite a polite and friendly NiceGuy. |
| 78 | * TheDitz: Lord Ligonberry is one of the nicer people in the show, but he's clearly not got a lot going on upstairs. His only reaction to being clamped to a table is eagerly exclaiming, "This is the first interesting thing that's ever happened to me!" |
| 79 | * FedToPigs: PlayedForLaughs; after a failed attempt to create the ElixirOfLife using Elfo's blood, which kills Lord Lingonberry instead of restoring his hair, Sorcerio dumps the poor guy's body down a chute leading to a pig trough. |
| 80 | * UnexplainedRecovery: Lady Lingonberry seemingly drowns after Bean crashed her carriage into a river. However, she later turns out to have somehow survived, and appears in Zog's throne room along with other angry victims of Bean's crimes. |
| 81 | * UpperClassTwit: Lord Lingonberry is the nice version. Lady is the other kind. |

| 84 | [[folder:Old Man Touchy]] |
| 85 | !!!'''Old Man Touchy''' |
| 86 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/DavidHerman |
| 87 | |
| 88 | A strange old man that has a habit of touching things and can identify anything. He is currently locked up in the castle dungeon. |
| 89 | ---- |
| 90 | * BlindSeer: His eyes have been plucked out. He still knows almost everything there is to know about anything he touches. |
| 91 | * DirtyOldMan: It's heavily implied that his habit of touching has led him to molest someone, possibly even Zog, and that's why he was thrown into the dungeon and blinded. |
| 92 | * DisabilitySuperpower: Despite being blind, he has a [[SuperSenses very heightened sense of touch]], and was able to [[spoiler:feel up Elfo to deduce that he wasn't exactly an elf]]. |
| 93 | * EyeScream: Zog had both of his eyes gouged out, or caused them in a racing accident. Though this doesn't stop Touchy from being able to figure out his exact surroundings by touching them. |
| 94 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: He likes touching things, including people, which leads him to throw himself on people to grope and analyze them. |
| 95 | * {{Psychometry}}: Strongly implied, since he is able to determine the true nature of the Eternity Pendant and Elfo, despite never having had contact with either before. |
| 96 | * PunnyName: In the french version, his name was translated into "Germain Balladeuses". Germain was a relatively common first name in France during the post-WWII era, associated to old men by the period where ''Disenchanted'' was released. But above all, it is a pun on "mains balladeuses", who can be translated by "hand-flippers" or... "touchy hands". |
| 97 | * TakenForGranite: He's among the victims of the Petrification Serum, as shown at the beginning of season 2. |

| 104 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/disenchantmenthandsome.png]] |
| 105 | ->'''Voiced by''': ??? |
| 106 | |
| 107 | A sailor who is hired by the elves to get berries that might cure them from a disease. |
| 108 | ---- |
| 109 | * DecapitationPresentation: He gets captured by the Ogres who eat his body and mount his head on a pole beneath the [[{{MacGuffin}} Legendberry Tree]]. |
| 110 | * DirtyCoward: He shamelessly leaves Bean and Elfo to die when their boat was getting tangled up by deadly vines. |
| 111 | * {{Expy}}: He's based on Quint from Film/{{Jaws}}. |
| 112 | * FakeUltimateHero: He pretends to be a badass hero who has gone on many adventures, but he actually copied all his bogus stories from a book; and when things get really dangerous, he escapes. |
| 113 | * HatesTheirParent: He reveals that he is not on speaking terms with his father. |
| 114 | * JustDesserts: He goes back on his agreement and leaves Elfo and Bean to die. He's then captured by the Ogres who eat him. |
| 115 | * OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:While offscreen, he's killed and has his head chopped off by the ogres, [[ToServeMan who then eat the rest of his body]].]] |
| 116 | * PunchClockHero: He only agrees to help save the Elves in exchange for 10,000 gold coins. |
| 117 | * ShamelessSelfPromoter: He actually says that his biggest passion in life is self-promotion. |
| 118 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: He looks and sounds like a younger version of his father, the Party Barge Captain from Season 1. |

| 121 | [[folder:Freckles]] |
| 122 | !!!'''Freckles''' |
| 123 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/JohnDiMaggio |
| 124 | A cursed ventriloquist doll that Zøg uses as a mouthpiece during his lapse into madness, and is later revealed to be alive. |
| 125 | ---- |
| 126 | * AnimateInanimateObject: He's a living ventriloquist dummy. |
| 127 | * DeadpanSnarker: Freckles is extremely acerbic and verbally lambastes everyone he speaks to. |
| 128 | * DemonicDummy: He's a possessed ventriloquist doll that Season 4 reveals [[spoiler:is working for Maru, helping Cloyd and Beckie sneak into the castle by possessing dolls themselves]]. Season 5 has him reveal that [[spoiler:he's possessed by the soul of Bean's younger brother]]. |
| 129 | * EarlyBirdCameo: He briefly appeared all the way back in episode 1, during a scene where Bean is dragged back to the castle by the guards, and they walk past the doll store. |
| 130 | * FalseFriend: In season 4, [[spoiler:Freckles helps Cloyd and Beckie sneak back into Dreamland after their apparent deaths, and befriends Derek and Jasper -- goading them into being more ruthless and violent. He pays off the three back-alley elves in order to trick Derek into thinking he murdered one of them, all so that he can manipulate Derek and Jasper into going on the run and sell them to the Steamland freakshow]]. Before that, he also pretended to be Zog's friend so he could try to drive a wedge between Zog and Bean, but this failed. |
| 131 | * HiddenAgendaVillain: The fact that the woman who sells him to Zøg [[AmbiguousSituation may or may not be]] Dagmar combined with [[spoiler: his alliance with Cloyd and Becky implies he's working for the Maru royalty, but [[HumanTrafficking selling]] Derek and Jasper to P.T.'s freakshow in exchange for cash would imply a motivation by {{greed}}]], so it's hard to know where he really stands. |
| 132 | * OhCrap: When Sorcario straps him up to a lightning-powered machine designed to bring the dead and inanimate objects to life, Freckles panics and jumps off just before getting zapped, though he pretends the experiment was a success. |
| 133 | * RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: At the end of Season 4, Freckles [[spoiler:sells Derek and Jasper to the Steamland freakshow owner, only to wind up being taken captive himself when the ringmaster notes he doesn't have a cursed doll yet]]. |
| 134 | * SirSwearsALot: While ''Disenchantment'' is no stranger to profanity to begin with, Freckles tends to deliver a lot of it during his screentime. |
| 135 | * VoiceForTheVoiceless: During his lapse into insanity, Zøg uses Freckles to communicate his true thoughts and feelings. It later turns out that Freckles is alive, with him tricking Sorcerio into thinking his [[Film/Frankenstein1931 lightning experiment]] brought him to life. |

| 142 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/BillyWest |
| 143 | |
| 144 | Elfo's father, who may know a few things that his son doesn't. |
| 145 | ---- |
| 146 | * AbusiveParents: He's treated Elfo pretty shabbily his entire life, and still does, even admitting he's stolen Elfo's college fund for no readily apparent reason. This is all played for laughs. |
| 147 | * HairTriggerTemper: By his own admission is a hair-trigger "ragoholic". |
| 148 | * InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler:Though the details are fuzzy. All we know is that Elfo's mother was not an elf.]] In Season 4 it's revealed that [[spoiler:he fell in love with an ogre princess]]. |
| 149 | * ItRunsInTheFamily: [[spoiler:Elfo's taste for "[[TinyGuyHugeGirl big women]]" was apparently something they both shared.]] |
| 150 | * ItsAllMyFault: It's implied that the main reason he keeps dodging Elfo's questions about his mother is because [[spoiler: he's responsible for her death.]] [[spoiler:Subverted when she turns out to be alive, but both of them thought the other was dead.]] |
| 151 | * KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: We only learn his full name in the final minutes of the finale, [[spoiler:[[CallBack Returno]] Elfowitz -- who was mentioned in Season 1 Episode 1 to be the only elf other than Leavo to leave Elfwood]]. |
| 152 | * LoveAtFirstPunch: He mentions that his encounter with Elfo's mother began with him harassing her, and her responding by punching him, at which point he fell in love. |
| 153 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He sounds like Walter Brennan. |
| 154 | * PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:He's so reluctant to tell Elfo about his mother, he ducks the issue repeatedly, never once just ''telling'' Elfo the whole truth.]] |
| 155 | * ScatterbrainedSenior: Pops seems to have his head in the clouds. During Elfo's hanging, Pops comes over to express his sympathy for his son's untimely fate, [[SkewedPriorities however he decides to go off rambling on]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext an anecdote of how he met Elfo's mother]]. Pops even obliviously pulls off the stool that ''Elfo was standing on'' so he could sit down, talking with his back turned away from Elfo, not even realizing that this tightened the noose and caused Elfo to start choking. Then Pops dozes off into a nap after he's done speaking. |

| 163 | !!!'''King Rulo of Elfwood (in exile)''' |
| 164 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/BillyWest |
| 165 | |
| 166 | The ruler of Elfwood, and Kissy's paranoid father. |
| 167 | ---- |
| 168 | * BerserkButton: Don't ever dare to fool around with his daughter, and also don't bring humans into Elfwood. |
| 169 | * BoyfriendBlockingDad: Much like King Zog, the Elf King is super-strict about trying to keep his daughter away from premarital sex. When he catches Elfo in bed with Kissy, he sentences Elfo to ''death by hanging'' from the Gumdrop Tree. And this isn't even the first time he (tried to) execute [[ReallyGetsAround one of Kissy's lovers]]. |
| 170 | -->'''Kissy''': Father, stop! You can't just kill every guy that kisses me!\ |
| 171 | '''Rulo''': Sure I can!\ |
| 172 | ''([[MassOhCrap Every male elf around him nervously backs away]])'' |
| 173 | * TheCaligula: Don't let the [[CrapsaccharineWorld cutesy appearance of Elfwood]] fool you, the Elf King is a crazy tyrant who's comparable to King Zog in terms of sheer vindictiveness. |
| 174 | * FantasticRacism: When Elfo returns to Elfwood with Bean, the Elf King expresses his disapproval that he brought a ''{{human|sAreTheRealMonsters}}'' into their village, saying they "bring nothing but pain and treachery". Though he quickly changes his tune after Bean offers to share her alcohol with everyone. |
| 175 | * GovernmentInExile: In Season 2, after all the elves move out of Elfwood and into Dreamland, they are granted a district of the city-state now named "Elf Alley" to live in, which Rulo is the autonomous ruler of (under the protection of the King of Dreamland). |

| 181 | ->'''Voiced by''': Jeny Batten |
| 182 | |
| 183 | Elfo's ex-girlfriend and co-worker from the Elfwood candy factory. She's the daughter of the Elf King, and is thus an elf princess. |
| 184 | ---- |
| 185 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She loves rebellious behavior in her boyfriends, such as Elfo and Luci, and admits to such. |
| 186 | * AmbiguouslyBi: When her father proclaims that he can indeed execute anyone who's kissed her, two female elves also step back in fear. |
| 187 | * BadassAdorable: Along with her fellow elves, Kissy joins in to defend their village from the invading Dreamland knights, and even gives Pendergast a headbutt. |
| 188 | * InterspeciesRomance: Aside from making out with almost every male elf around her, Kissy also has some relationships with human men after she moves into Dreamland. She also dated Luci the demon for one episode. [[spoiler:Her earlier love affair with Elfo also counts, given that Elfo is not completely an elf.]] |
| 189 | * KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Kissy is her nickname. Her true name is Kissandra. |
| 190 | * MeaningfulName: Like all elves from her village, her name reflects her personality. It's also her job to kiss the chocolate boxes as they come off the production line. Hers is also one of the few names to not end with an -o suffix. |
| 191 | * MissingMom: No mention is made of Kissy's mother, presumably the Elf Queen, who may well be dead. The lack of a mother seems to be something she has in common with Elfo and Princess Bean. |
| 192 | * NiceGirl: When Kissy's father tries to kill Elfo, she's willing to [[CallingTheOldManOut stand up to her dad]], and saves her boyfriend by cutting him down from the Gumdrop Tree and helping him escape Elfwood. |
| 193 | * PinkIsFeminine: She has pink skin and wears a purple dress, and is the girliest elf introduced. |
| 194 | * ReallyGetsAround: Her name ''is'' Kissy, after all. It's implied that she has at least made out with almost every (male) elf in the village. She and her new boyfriend also seemed open for a threesome with Elfo. ''Then'' in Season 2, she dates Luci for a time before coming to terms that she wants to find her own happiness by herself... though not before bidding goodbye to a whole bunch of men who had also dated her. |
| 195 | * TinyGuyHugeGirl: Her new boyfriend Shrimpo is much shorter than her, to the point that Elfo mistakes him for their son at first. |
| 196 | * UseYourHead: When she joins the defense of Elfwood in "To Thine Own Elf Be True", the first thing she does is jump on top of Pendergast and headbutt him in the face. |

| 204 | ---- |
| 205 | * ChekhovsGunman: Initially just a one-off joke in the first episode, he actually makes an appearance in season 2. |
| 206 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Appears in the first episode of season 5, and then never appears again. |
| 207 | * DistressedDude: Winds up imprisoned by the Trogs under Dreamland. |
| 208 | * {{Pirate}}: He's the captain of a pirate crew. |
| 209 | * ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: As captain, he spends a good solid eight ''years'' just sitting in his cabin not actually doing any actual pirating. This allows Oona to easily take command of his crew when they rescue her. |
| 210 | * AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:He succeeds in his quest to find the Very Thing, but it turns out the Trog's sacred goo turns elves into Trogs. And there's no apparent cure. He's pretty upset by this.]] |

| 215 | |
| 216 | An Elfo whose job it seems to be to gasp in surprise whenever something shocking occurs. |
| 217 | |
| 218 | * {{Gasp}}: His role in life. Though sometimes the elves have to tell him when he's supposed to. |
| 219 | * TheUnintelligible: Actually seems to be ''incapable'' of doing anything but going "oohwooo!" |

| 227 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/TressMacNeille (English), Angela Villanueva (Latin American Spanish) |
| 228 | |
| 229 | An old fairy prostitute who lives in the forest. She offers sexual services and some occasional words of advice. |
| 230 | ---- |
| 231 | * DirtyOldWoman: She's rather blatantly an elderly hooker. This doesn't stop her from still getting clients though. |
| 232 | * {{Expy}}: She resembles a much older version of [[Franchise/PeterPan Tinkerbell]]. Personality-wise, she has much in common with side character Petunia from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', who was also voiced by Creator/TressMacNeille. |
| 233 | * HookerWithAHeartOfGold: She [[spoiler:cries at Elfo's funeral]], remarking how he helped water her plants when she was in rehab. She also helps out Prince Derek when he gets lost in the Enchanted Wood, teaching him to be less naïve and blindly trusting. |
| 234 | * TheOldestProfession: Yeah, she's a prostitute, and even offers to do some "tricks" for Bean, Elfo, and Luci when they meet her in the woods. She's then shown inviting an [[CivilizedAnimal anthropomorphic bird guy]] into her treehouse for some services. |
| 235 | * OurFairiesAreDifferent: She looks like the classic small, winged pixie. |

| 239 | !!!'''Gwen the Witch''' |
| 240 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gwen_6.png]] |
| 241 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/TressMacNeille |
| 242 | |
| 243 | A crazy old witch who has been convicted and sentenced to death on charges of murder. Bean is given the task of executing her via beheading with an axe, but hesitates over her possible innocence. |
| 244 | ---- |
| 245 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Gwen is based on the WickedWitch from the ''Literature/HanselAndGretel'' story; but instead of being an [[ChildEater evil cannibal trying to eat the titular children]], she's actually a kindly old woman who just wanted to adopt and raise them. |
| 246 | * ChekhovsGunman: She becomes relevant again in "The Limits of Immortality", where she is revealed to be the ex-wife of Malfus the Philosopher, the last man to use the ElixirOfLife, and she gives some information about him. |
| 247 | * CoolOldLady: She's actually a nice, sweet old woman whose kindness and generosity was used against her. |
| 248 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: Because of Bean's actions, Gwen is spared from suffering a gruesome death, is fully exonerated from her murder conviction, and moves to a retirement home along with her sister (who as it turns out, somehow survived their house exploding). |
| 249 | * FlyingBroomstick: How she gets around. |
| 250 | * GingerbreadHouse: She lived in a house made of candy, which was stolen by Hansel and Gretel. |
| 251 | * LaughingMad: Gwen was cursed to cackle maniacally like a madwoman whenever she tried to speak. The curse is lifted after Bean kills Hansel and Gretel and blows up their house. |
| 252 | * MiscarriageOfJustice: Gwen was wrongfully accused (if not outright {{frame|Up}}d) for causing the disappearances of Hansel and Gretel, as well as being pinned for the numerous murders those two had committed. Given that the medieval legal system wasn't known for fair court trials, Gwen was automatically deemed guilty despite actually being innocent. |
| 253 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Gwen adopted two orphans named Hansel and Gretel from the woods and let them live in her home. Unfortunately, the orphans turned out to be [[EnfanteTerrible psychopathic]] [[ImAHumanitarian cannibals]] who chained her up (along with Gwen's sister) and kept them hostage in their own home, which they used as a slaughterhouse to murder countless innocent people. Hansel and Gretel also put a curse on Gwen, forcing her to cackle instead of speak, which didn't help at all when Gwen was eventually framed for their murders and sentenced to death. |
| 254 | * ParentalSubstitute: She ''tried'' to act as a mother figure by adopting Hansel and Gretel, and raising them like they were her own kids. Unfortunately, she had no idea that these two were crazy enough to [[SelfMadeOrphan eat their biological parents]], which meant that [[UngratefulBastard they had no problems with betraying her either]]. |
| 255 | * PublicExecution: She was sentenced to getting [[OffWithHerHead beheaded with an axe]] in the town square. King Zog's executioner Stan was supposed to do it, but due to a backache he asked Bean to cover for him. Despite being egged on by every spectator around her, Bean's guilty conscience keeps her from actually slicing off Gwen's neck. |
| 256 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: She has been married to Malfus for over 90 years and was by herself long before that and much long after that, putting her around 100 years old. |
| 257 | * WhoWantsToLiveForever: Gwen refused to take the ElixirOfLife from her husband Malfus, thinking exactly about this. He regretfully came to agree with her after having already taken it himself. |
| 258 | * WickedWitch: Subverted. When introduced, she's assumed to just be a murderous cannibal responsible for killing two kids. Even with this alleged "information" in mind, Bean feels too reluctant to kill her, which is fortunate because she soon discovers that the witch is completely harmless and innocent. |

| 264 | [[caption-width-right:350:''"We're more meat-eaters now."'']] |
| 265 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/DavidHerman and Creator/TressMacNeille |
| 266 | |
| 267 | A brother and sister who live in a house made of candy in the forest. Countless people who visited their home have never returned. |
| 268 | ---- |
| 269 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Unlike in the original fairy tale, ''they'' are the evil cannibals, instead of the Witch. |
| 270 | * AgeLift: They're a few decades older than in the original story. |
| 271 | * AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:Unsurprisingly, they wind up in Hell, where they're chained up and made to watch a film recording of their deaths over and over again.]] |
| 272 | * AssholeVictim: |
| 273 | ** [[spoiler:After refusing to execute the old witch Gwen (who turns out to be innocent), Bean's conscience is eased a bit after killing Hansel and Gretel, the real murderers responsible for the crimes that the old lady was wrongly accused of.]] |
| 274 | ** [[spoiler:Taken further in "Stairway to Hell", where it's (unsurprisingly) revealed that Hansel's and Gretel's souls are now suffering eternal damnation in Hell. Their punishment? To endlessly rewatch the moment when Bean killed them, over and over again. And of course, they completely deserve every minute of it.]] |
| 275 | * AxCrazy: How else does one quickly describe a pair of murderous cannibals? |
| 276 | * BlackComedyCannibalism: Downplayed, the horrors of their actions aren't sugarcoated and doesn't shy away from showing the [[CannibalLarder basement]]. That being said, they are just as dumbfounded as the audience by Elfo's obliviousness. |
| 277 | * CannibalClan: They're siblings who cannibalized their parents and used a kindhearted hag as [[TheScapegoat their scapegoat]]. |
| 278 | * CannibalLarder: Hansel and Gretel are revealed to be the real cannibals. Shortly after the reveal, we see human heads hanging from the ceiling apparently to dry and cure alongside unidentified "meat", various candies and desserts made of human flesh, and at one point mummified corpses in cotton candy. |
| 279 | * ChildEater: Implied when they seemingly fed Elfo to his friends, but he was revealed to [[StewedAlive be alive and burning in the oven]]. Considering that the elves have sealed themselves away from the rest of the world, what Bean ate was possibly a young child, or at least another small humanoid creature. [[spoiler:Their appearance in Hell confirms they did actually eat children.]] |
| 280 | * EnfanteTerrible: Even way back when they were children, they were still evil and insane; see SelfMadeOrphan and UngratefulBastard. |
| 281 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Regardless of everything else, they do genuinely love one another. [[spoiler:Hansel is enraged when he sees Bean kill Gretel.]] |
| 282 | * EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: They like [[BlackComedyCannibalism cracking sick jokes about their dietary habits]] that their victims don't catch on to. |
| 283 | * FatBastard: Both of them are obese due to a lifetime diet of eating mostly candy and human meat. |
| 284 | * FauxAffablyEvil: They abuse SacredHospitality as part of their ''modus operandi''. They {{invite|dAsDinner}} their guests/victims inside and treat them to a bowl of candy or a [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies meat dish]], in order to lull them into a false sense of security. |
| 285 | * GingerbreadHouse: They live in a house made of and filled with candy. Its original owner was Gwen the Witch, who foolishly took them in when they were kids. |
| 286 | * ImAHumanitarian: They enjoy killing and eating other humans. As well as the occasional non-human, as Elfo can attest to. It's played for both {{black comedy|Cannibalism}} ''[[MoodWhiplash and]]'' [[NightmareFuel horror]][[invoked]]. |
| 287 | * ImprovisedWeapon: They have several weapons and {{death trap}}s made of candy, including an axe-shaped lollipop [[spoiler:that Bean uses [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard to kill them]].]] |
| 288 | * InsistentTerminology: It's Hansel and Gretel, ''not'' Gretel and Hansel! |
| 289 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Bean kills Gretel by hitting her in the head with a candy axe, then does the same to Hansel.]] |
| 290 | * KnightOfCerebus: Played with. Although Hansel and Gretel certainly aren't lacking in [[BlackComedy darkly]] [[LaughablyEvil humorous]] qualities much like other villains in the show, they're still treated as more of a serious threat compared to other [[VillainOfTheWeek minor one-shot antagonists]] in Season 1. And despite all the [[BlackComedyCannibalism jokes about how they eat people]], when we actually see the results of their gruesome crimes, [[MoodWhiplash it's not so funny]]. Especially when Bean discovers the basement where they hide all the dismembered remains of their victims. |
| 291 | * PsychopathicManchild: Both of them are EnfanteTerrible all grown up, but still just as creepy. Whenever they're not committing cannibalism, they're gorging on candy instead. |
| 292 | * PublicDomainCharacter: Being [[FracturedFairyTale darkly twisted parodies]] of ''Literature/HanselAndGretel'' after all. |
| 293 | * SelfMadeOrphan: They killed and ate their own parents before Gwen found them. |
| 294 | * SerialKiller: They've murdered and consumed countless unsuspecting travelers over the years. |
| 295 | * SeriousBusiness: Gretel actually gets offended when Bean thinks she's been served Elfo. Because elf is ''dessert meat'', not a main course. |
| 296 | * SiblingsInCrime: They're a BrotherSisterTeam of [[AxCrazy ruthless]], [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalistic]] {{serial killer}}s. |
| 297 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Their role in the overall story is minor. [[spoiler: Their actions have forced Bean to realise that some people can't be reasoned with or taught to compromise. The ruins of their gingerbread house also allowed Odval and Sorcerio to find the recipe book for the elixir of life.]] |
| 298 | * UngratefulBastard: After eating their parents, an old witch named Gwen adopted them. They repaid her kindness by chaining up Gwen (and her sister) and keeping them hostage in the house, cursing Gwen to cackle instead of speak, and turning her home into their own personal slaughterhouse. |
| 299 | * VillainousIncest: There's heavy implications of a [[BrotherSisterIncest romantic/sexual relationship between them]]; as they seem to be a bit too close to each other, and given that they're the only long-term adult company they've had for decades, well it's just the ''least'' creepy thing about them. It's made more explicit when Hansel and Gretel share what suspiciously looks like a kiss[[note]](when Bean placed a large gumdrop onto Gretel's head, Hansel chews out a hole so she can breathe; they then start licking the candy ''off each other's lips'')[[/note]], along with this line of dialogue: |

| 305 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/disenchantmentursula.png]] |
| 306 | ->'''Voiced by''': Jeny Batten |
| 307 | |
| 308 | Ursula is a "Forest Selkie", a shapeshifting bear with the power to turn into a beautiful woman once she takes off her skin. Zog falls in love with her. |
| 309 | ---- |
| 310 | * BearyFunny: Even when Ursula is in human form, she still acts much like a wild bear, much to the bewilderment of everyone else in Zog's court. |
| 311 | * BigBeautifulWoman: Unlike Zog's ex-wives, Ursula is rather large, and she needs Oona's old dresses to be stitched together and enlarged so she can wear them. She's still very beautiful and charming regardless. |
| 312 | * TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:She returns in season 4, having revealed to have given birth to Zog's child.]] |
| 313 | * ButNowIMustGo: She has to return to the Enchanted Forest after a while, leaving Zog heartbroken. |
| 314 | * DisneyDeath: In Season 4, [[spoiler:she saves Zøg and Jasper from a forest fire but falls off a rotting log into the inferno below. Zøg assumes she's dead, but the finale reveals she survived but was captured by Steamland's TheFreakshow circus.]] |
| 315 | * FishOutOfWater: She is clearly not 100% happy living in Dreamland, with habits that are better suited to life in the woods. |
| 316 | * GodivaHair: Her hair covers her boobs while she's bathing. |
| 317 | * InterspeciesRomance: She's a magical were-bear who falls in love with the human king Zog. |
| 318 | * JabbaTableManners: On account of being a bear. |
| 319 | * MeaningfulName: Ursula's name comes from the Latin word ''ursa'', which means "she-bear". |
| 320 | * ShapeshiftingLover: Zog becomes so desperate to keep Ursula with him, that he steals her bearskin and hides it in the castle. Though after realizing how upset Ursula becomes due to being forced to stay human, he returns the skin to her so she can resume living as a bear in the forest. |
| 321 | * OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: She is a "[[SelkiesAndWereseals Forest Selkie]]"; a member of a race of shapeshifting animals who can change into humans at will. Ursula is normally a bear ([[ShapeshifterDefaultForm which is her true form]]), unless she removes her bear skin to become a woman. |
