15Klonoa is the young protagonist of the series who, as the "Dream Traveler", is destined to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin travel to different dream universes]] and save them from destruction. He is kind-spirited and has a strong sense of justice; he's able to make friends wherever he goes, but he is also shown as naive.
16----
17* AdaptationalJerkass: From pure hearted AllLovingHero in the main games to a selfish and immature AntiHero in ''Klonoa Heroes''.
18* AdventuresInComaland: While unconscious from Janga's poison, he dreams he's back in Breezegale hiking with his friends. As he nearly succumbs to the poison, however, his friends start asking him why he's obsessed with being a hero, and he struggles to come up with an answer that satisfies them. It's only thanks to some outside encouragement from Guntz and Pango that he's able to find an answer, and wake up in the process.
19* AgeLift: The Klonoa remake for the Nintendo Wii uses a new design heavily based on his more mature appearance in the sequel games. Amusingly, this makes [[YoungerThanTheyLook young Klonoa]] taller than most of the cast.
20* AllLovingHero: He never turns down someone in need. And if there's even the slightest chance that the villain can be redeemed or saved, he'll do everything in his power to make it happen.
21* AntiHero: In ''Klonoa Heroes'', he starts out as this. He has a kind heart, but is still a bounty hunter alongside Guntz who has an immature personality and mostly selfish motives for becoming a hero and only reaches the Hero Medal Rank of Gold (the next highest up being Star). Klonoa does slowly grow out of this when serious events trigger his CharacterDevelopment, steadily becoming more selfless and wanting to become a hero for more than just for the sake of it. In all the other games this is averted, where he is pure good from the start.
22* ArtEvolution: The original game gave him a younger, more feline design with trousers and a collar. The second game gave him a more standard anthro design (as pictured right), and while the Wii remake of the first game was originally planned to have a total redesign ([[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/75/Klonoa_character_redesigns.jpg comparison here]], proposed design on the right, final design on the left), fan backlash and overall lack of support from the developers led them to make a third design, which looks like Klonoa meets ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends'' in terms of design.
23** His appearance in the webcomic seems to borrow from all the different designs at once. He now wears his collar from the original game, as well as the shoes from ''Lunatea's Veil'', and a shirt similar to the one he wore in the Wii remake. His irises have also gotten smaller and more slender, to resemble how they looked in the original game.
24* BadassAdorable: Being a fluffy bunny/kitty doesn't stop him from ''regularly'' taking down evil {{Eldritch Abomination}}s.
25* BashBrothers: He's this with Guntz in ''Namco x Capcom''; they even have the brotherly bond to go with it.
26* BewareTheNiceOnes: He may be an AllLovingHero that wants to help people out of the kindness of his heart, but harm his friends and family and he will ''end you'' without hesitation. [[spoiler:[[ItsPersonalWithTheDragon Joka]] learned this the hard way after the mad clown murdered Klonoa's grandpa in ''Door to Phantomile''.]]
27* BlessedWithSuck: Because of his duties as the Dream Traveler, Klonoa goes to several fantastical dream worlds, where he embarks on adventures and makes all sorts of close friends along the way... [[spoiler:All of which he has to leave behind in the end and return to wherever it is he resides when not saving anything. ''Every time.'' The webcomic provides a way for him to see his friends again, if he focuses on his past and they call for him, but it's still a rare event.]]
28* BlowYouAway: His main move is the "Wind Bullet", and he also has the enemy-freezing Hurricane ability in ''Door to Phantomile''.
29* BreakTheCutie: He's an adorable CartoonCreature who ends up on the receiving end of emotional devastation throughout ''Door to Phantomile'', be it when [[spoiler:his grandpa dies]] or when he suddenly learns that [[spoiler:he was not a native resident of Phantomile, but summoned and given FakeMemories by Huepow to coerce him to save it -- shortly followed by the Song of Rebirth sucking him back to his home world]].
30* ButNowIMustGo: Whenever Klonoa saves a world, he then goes to find another world to save. This is Klonoa's rather tragic lot in life.
31* CartoonCreature: Klonoa seems to be a MixAndMatchCritter of a dog, cat, and rabbit. But it's unspecified what he is.
32* CatchPhrase: ''Wahoo!''
33** There's also ''Rupurudu!''[[note]]Let's go![[/note]] (written as ''"Loopuludoo"'' in ''Empire of Dreams'') in the games where everyone speaks "Phantomilian".
34** And '''WAPEEEH!'''[[note]]Wahoo![[/note]]
35** ''MANYA!'' The sound he makes when he is hurt, or falls into a pit. He also shouts this during times of emotional distress as seen in the final cutscene of Door to Phantomile, so it could also be his version of a BigNo.
36* CharacterDevelopment:
37** In his debut game ''Door to Phantomile'', he started out cheerful, energetic, and easily emotional due to his younger appearance. In ''Lunatea's Veil'', Klonoa has become more confident, incredibley calm, and doesn't get as emotional as the first game (possibly due to being notably older). By the end of the game, he fully accepted his role as a Dream Traveler, though is still visibly sad when telling Lolo he's leaving. The webcomic decided to combine both of Klonoa's characterizations from ''Door to Phantomile'' (cheerful and energetic attitude) and ''Lunatea's Veil'' (confidence and calmness) to reflect on his design combining all of his appearances from previous games.
38** In ''Klonoa Heroes'' this is one of the main focuses due to being a ComingOfAgeStory. Klonoa starts the game as a cheerful but [[{{AntiHero}} incredibly bratty and selfish kid]] who wants to become a hero not to help others but for the sake of it, treating his adventures like they are games. Some dark turns in the story steadily show his selfishness has consequences and he receives some harsh WhatTheHellHero speeches, which makes Klonoa undergo a major HeelRealization and [[HeroicBSOD he sinks into a deep despair.]] Some [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre encouraging words]] from his friends help Klonoa bounce back and he soon becomes much more like the AllLovingHero he is in the other games; becoming super compassionate and taking things more seriously whilst still retaining a cheerful outlook on life. Note that this character development is exclusive to ''Klonoa Heroes'' due to taking place in its own canon.
39* CompanyCrossReferences: His hat has a decal of VideoGame/PacMan, the most famous creation of ''Klonoa'''s production company Namco, on the front.
40* CostumeEvolution: While he was a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal with a RingAroundTheCollar and brown shoes in the first game, ''Lunatea's Veil'' onward updated his outfit with a blue shirt and red shoes (pictured right). The Wii remake of the first game went back to the original outfit, replacing his collar with a red jacket (though his original and ''Lunatea's Veil'' outfits can be unlocked).
41* CuteLittleFangs: His more recent appearances have these. His original one, [[MoreTeethThantheOsmondFamily on the other hand...]]
42* DarkIsNotEvil: Downplayed. Some aspects of Klonoa's design are traditionally creepy, like his mostly black fur (though he also has plenty of white fur too), [[CuteLittleFangs his]] [[FangsAreEvil fangs,]] and his [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness bright yellow]] [[AnimalEyes cat eyes.]] The latter two features were especially prominent in ''Door to Phantomile'', where he had a [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily whole mouth full of sharp teeth,]] yellow sclerae with larger, sharper HellishPupils, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and]] [[WalkingShirtlessScene less]] [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal clothes]] making him more animalistic and feral than he does in later games. However, Klonoa is also a cheerful PrimaryColorChampion, which certainly ''isn't'' dark. He's definitely a hero, though. Some unused concepts for the character, including a shadow creature and a robot containing a human soul, would have been more creepy in nature, but the creators ultimately went with a cuter design for Klonoa to make him more sympathetic (and possibly more marketable.)
43* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the cheerful, naive, happy-go-lucky KidHero variety. Throughout the first game, his childlike and innocent worldview slowly gets challenged throughout the story through [[spoiler: witnessing his grandpa's death and later finding out his friend, Huepow, had essentially lied to him about being his lifelong friend and manipulated him into fighting for his world, both of which he, naturally, does not react well to, reacting with extreme distress and denial. This is further demonstrated when once the time came for Klonoa to leave Huepow, he stubbornly refused and clung onto him until the force of the portal did them apart, once again showing the less pleasant side of his naïve and childish worldview and personality.]] It wasn't until the sequel where he undergoes CharacterDevelopment and learns to grow and mature, finally accepting his circumstances of being a Dream Hero who has to see friends come and go. He even becomes a bit of a Reconstruction of this character type in later titles where they combine both his personalities from the first and second game, further showing his maturity and mastery in balancing his personality and emotions.
44* DependingOnTheWriter: He noticeably tends to be a lot brattier and short-tempered in the GBA games, especially in ''Klonoa Heroes'', as opposed to his AllLovingHero status in the main console games.
45* {{Determinator}}: As Klonoa himself acknowledges in the webcomic, what he does might be scary, but he ''never'' gives up.
46* DoesNotLikeSpam: Klonoa isn't too fond of carrots or tomatoes.
47* DreamWalker: His main character trait is that he's a Dream Traveler who's summoned to dream worlds that are in trouble to save them. His choice in the worlds he visits [[RandomTransportation doesn't seem to be something he can control]], [[spoiler: and similarly, once he's saved the world, he's usually kicked out against his own will as well sometime later]]. However, the game leaves it rather ambiguous as to whether this is true or the game series is just a bunch of different dreams a person is having. The webcomic takes another interpretation: he travels to other worlds while dreaming, up to and including the dreams of people in those worlds.
48* DrivenToSuicide: Jarringly so in the slapstick manga. After one chapter ends with him losing his confidence as a hero, the following chapter begins with him '''attempting to drown himself'''. Fortunately, [[OnlySaneMan Moo]] [[InterruptedSuicide stops him before he has the chance]]... though it does nothing to lift his spirits.
49* EarWings: He can fly with his big, floppy ears for a short period of time, allowing him to clear bigger gaps.
50* EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes: While he's an AllLovingHero, he grows to absolutely ''loath'' Joka over the course of the first game. Justified, as the [[spoiler: MonsterClown murdered his grandfather]].
51* {{Fainting}}: In a manga adaptation of ''Namco x Capcom'', [[VideoGame/DarkStalkers Morrigan]] begins flirting with Klonoa by gently hugging him and playing with his hair locks. [[FaintInShock This causes]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EMBasgVXsAEqQex?format=jpg&name=medium Klonoa to immediately faint as a response]] to [[MsFanservice Morrigan's]] interactions with him.
52* FakeMemories: Was given these by Huepow in the first game. [[HeroicBSOD He wasn't too happy about it.]]
53* FunnyAfro: In the manga, its revealed that Klonoa's hat is actually hiding his afro-styled hair that's big enough to tower over his friends. Artwork from the game shows otherwise, however.
54* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: He has no shirt in his original design. Also, he has a RingAroundTheCollar.
55* HappyEnding: Finally gets one in his ''Klonoa Heroes'' interpretation, maturing as a person and becoming a worldwide recognized hero.
56* HeroicBSOD:
57** Has one at the end of ''Door to Phantomile'' after learning that [[spoiler:he wasn't actually from Phantomile, and [[FakeMemories his memories and relationships there were fabricated by Huepow]] to motivate him to stop Ghadius.]]
58** Also has one during a poison-induced AdventuresInComaland in ''Klonoa Heroes'', where he can't think of why he wanted to be a hero in the first place, all while his friends continue to ask him and/or taunt him for only ''pretending'' to be a hero.
59* HoverBoard: Rides one in ''Lunatea's Veil'', both GBA platformers, and the webcomic.
60* IdiotHero: In the slapstick manga, he's this. Klonoa unquestionably means well, but his impulsive shenanigans actually make him a much more dangerous menace than any of the bad guys he faces! By the end of the manga, he's destroyed the entire city at least twice, and caused uncountable AmusingInjuries to everyone around him.
61* IGotBigger: Looks noticeably older between the jump from the first game to the second. Director [[WordOfGod Tsuyoshi Kobayashi]] stated in [[https://web.archive.org/web/20200822230214/https://www.famitsu.com/game/special/2000/09/tgs2000/d23/eb06.html an interview for TGS 2000]] that Klonoa was a fourth grader in ''Door to Phantomile'' (about nine years of age), and that by ''Lunatea's Veil'' he's a second-year junior high student (about thirteen years of age).
62* ImageSong:
63** During the snowboarding in ''Lunatea's Veil'', Klonoa has his own song called "Stepping Wind" entirely performed by himself in Phantomilian.
64** "Sign of a Hero" the theme song to the GBA spin-off game ''Klonoa Heroes'' is also performed by Klonoa, this time performed in Japanese.
65* ImmuneToBullets: In the slapstick manga only.
66* ImprobableWeaponUser: The Wind Bullet ring.
67* IntergenerationalFriendship:
68** With Pango in ''Klonoa Heroes'', who is old enough to be Klonoa's dad.
69** With Felicia in ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'', because "long haired felines must stick together."
70* IronicEcho: In ''Door to Phantomile'', Huepow promises Klonoa that "We'll always be together." before Klonoa uses him as the final blow to Nahatomb. Klonoa then yells "You said that, we'd always be together!" (Wii remake only) in anguish after he briefly believed Huepow didn't survive sacrificing himself to defeat Nahatomb. During the end of ''Lunatea's Veil'', he repeats this line twice as a way to comfort Lolo as she's crying into his arms.
71* KidHero: According to an interview with developer Tsuyoshi Kobayashi from Famitsu during Tokyo Game Show 2000, he is approximately 9 years old in ''Door to Phantomile'' and 12 in ''Lunatea's Veil''.
72* KillerRabbit: Or rather, killer [[MixAndMatchCritters cat-rabbit]]... [[BuffySpeak thing]].
73* ManlyTears: [[TryingNotToCry Very nearly appears on the verge of these]] when hugging Lolo and saying goodbye to her at the end of ''Lunatea's Veil''. He only sheds a SingleTear when thanking her.
74* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily:
75** In the PSX original, he briefly snarls in rage when the Moon Kingdom rises, which exposes so many sharp teeth that he looks like he has a beartrap for a mouth.
76** The ''Phantasy Reverie Series'' CompilationRerelease retains his original PSX design for the remaster of "Door to Phantomile" and the new camera angles in certain cutscenes show he's still got a mean set of chompers. It's most clear in scenes when he's snarling angrily like when he's confronting Joka [[spoiler:after he mortally wounds Grandpa]] as well as when confronting Ghadius at the end of the game.
77* NiceGuy: Always willing to help those in need, even showing mercy to his enemies as long as they show signs of being able to redeem themselves.
78* NeverBareheaded:
79** Klonoa is almost never seen without his hat (aside from a few air-boarding taunts in ''Lunatea's Veil'', and some idle animations in the GBA games). This actually becomes a plot point in the manga where Lolo, Guntz, and Moo try to remove Klonoa's hat to see what he looks without it. When his hat is removed, [[FunnyAfro its turns out to be a gigantic afro.]] The Japanese guide to ''Klonoa: Empire of Dreams'' [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/e239df7a7b294d2118931a712fd07948/tumblr_pf80erUofw1qepldno1_1280.png actually shows Klonoa sleeping without his hat.]]
80** His postgame "Summer Outfit" in the Wii remake of ''Door to Phantomile'' suggests that aside from the exposed "hair locks" from his ''Lunatea's Veil'' design, it's just a round fur-covered head underneath that hat though a small portion of the top of his head is still technically covered by a flat cap with a Moo's face on it.
81* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Klonoa's blue outfit contrasts with Lolo's pink clothes.
82* PrimaryColorChampion: Always wears a combination of blue, yellow, and/or red.
83* RaisedByGrandparents: Lives with his grandfather in ''Door to Phantomile'' and ''Klonoa Heroes''. His parents, if he has (or had) any, are never mentioned throughout the series.
84* RiddleForTheAges: Though he is the main character, Klonoa’s background is this and there is next to no information given about his past. How he became the Dream Traveler is also kept a secret. The webcomic gives a bit of explanation on his exact abilities as the Dream Traveler, but this is the extent of what is explained.
85* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Considering that he appears to be half-bunny–half-kitty with a dash of puppy, it seems like he was designed with this trope in mind.
86* SayMyName:
87** [[DiedInYourArmsTonight "Grandpa!!!"]]
88** "HUEPOW!!!"
89** "LEORINA!!!"
90** [[DamselInDistress "LOLOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"]]
91* ShockAndAwe: He has the Thunder Hurricane attack in ''Klonoa Heroes'' and ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom''.
92* SignatureHeadgear: Klonoa always wears a large blue cap with an image of VideoGame/PacMan eating a pellet. This fits his nature as an innocent child, and the Pac-Man image fits his [[KidHero heroism]].
93* SingleTear: Klonoa sheds a tear before leaving Lunatea during the ending of the sequel.
94* SuperDrowningSkills: So much so that he needs a mechanized diving suit to traverse ''Klonoa Heroes'' and ''Dream Champ Tournament's'' UnderTheSea levels.
95* TakingTheBullet: In ''Klonoa Heroes'', he does this for Guntz when Janga attempts a venom-claw sneak attack on the latter after [[ISurrenderSuckers falsely surrendering]].
96* TearfulSmile: During the ending of ''Lunatea's Veil'', after Lolo finishes crying into Klonoa's arms. Klonoa cheers her up by saying "Thanks" to her and Popka's help during their journey. Before leaving, he smiles at Lolo and sheds a tear before leaving.
97* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Hamburgers (without tomatoes, of course).
98* TryingNotToCry: During the ending of ''Lunatea's Veil'', Klonoa manages to maintain his composure as Lolo starts audibly sobbing while hugging him. However, he's struggling not to cry as he can only somberly shake his head while hugging her, while his voice is on the edge of breaking down as he's comforting Lolo. After they both finish their farewell hug, Klonoa sheds as tear with his voice now sounding more emotional before leaving Lunatea.
99* TrueCompanions: Forms this with Lolo and Popka in the majority of the games. In ''Klonoa Heroes'' he forms this with Guntz and Pango.
100* VocalDissonance: The voice acting in the Wii remake of the first game gives Klonoa, a boy, a much deeper voice than in the original, sounding much more like Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog.
101* VocalEvolution: Kumiko Watanabe's performance as the titular character has slightly changed over the years. In ''Door to Phantomile'', he had a much cuter and younger sounding voice. Starting in ''Lunatea's Veil'', Klonoa's voice sounded slightly older and gruffer (possibly to reflect Klonoa given a much older design). In the Wii remake, his voice sounded similar to ''Lunatea's Veil'' but has a minor difference (mainly the way Klonoa shouts "Wahoo" in the Wii remake compared to previous games). It's especially notable in the ''Phantasy Reverie'' version of ''Door to Phantomile'' where some of Watanabe's performance from the Wii version is only used for the opening, witnessing and mourning his Grandpa's death, and the game's ending. Compared to a majority of Klonoa's original dialogue from the original Playstation version remained unchanged.
102* WarriorPoet: Apart from being a hero, his poems are shown in opening narrations of several games.
103%%* WhiteGloves: While his gloves do help his hands stand out against his black fur, they're not white; they're bright yellow. Additionally, according to [[http://klonoa.the-comic.org/comics/2#content-start his webcomic,]] he doesn't appear to wear them in his world, only gaining them when he visits the various dream worlds he travels to.
104* WholesomeCrossdresser: In the manga, [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DJ0Gs4bU8AExHIG.jpg Klonoa is briefly seen dressed as a girl]] (complete with lipstick and his ears resembling pigtails) after temporarly giving up on being a hero.

113
114A ring spirit who powers Klonoa's wind ring during the first game and ''Empire of Dreams''.
115----
116* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In both remakes, [[spoiler: after Klonoa is taken away at the end of the game]], Huepow cries and stares off into the distance instead of giving a tearful smile.
117* BecomingTheMask: At first, he's only ''pretending'' to [[spoiler:have been Klonoa's lifelong friend]]. But as time goes on, [[spoiler:he starts to really become friends with him, and is very saddened by the knowledge that Klonoa will have to leave him. ]]
118* ContinuitySnarl: ''Door to Phantomile'' reveals [[spoiler:he's actually the prince of the Moon Kingdom using the Ring Spirit form as a disguise]], and [[spoiler:is tragically separated from Klonoa at the end of the game]]. Both of these revelations are ignored when he appears again in ''Empire of Dreams'' and ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball''. [[spoiler: Averted in ''Dream Traveller of Noctis Sol'' which gives the justification of all of the dream worlds coming together, allowing Klonoa and Huepow to reuinite. ''Moonlight Museum'' also does not count, as that one was a prequel to ''DTP''.]]
119* FloatingLimbs: Before his Wii redesign, floating gloved hands. The webcomic and ''Phantasy Reverie'' brings back Huepow's floating arms.
120* InconsistentSpelling: His name is spelled Hewpoe in the remake and [[http://klonoa.the-comic.org/comics/1#content-start the webcomic.]]
121* LivingWeapon: He provides Klonoa with the ability to shoot Wind Bullets.
122* KingIncognito: More like [[spoiler:''Prince'' Incognito]]. Huepow is actually [[spoiler:the prince of the Moon Kingdom, who pretended to be Klonoa's friend to get him to defeat Ghadius and Joka.]]
123* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: Took Klonoa from his world, gave him FakeMemories, and pretended to be his friend so he could stop Ghadius]].
124* PlatformingPocketPal: Whenever he accompanies Klonoa on his adventures, he'll stay inside the latter's wind ring for the most part, but will come out to talk during cutscenes.
125* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He may be [[spoiler:a prince]], but he still helps Klonoa defeat several nightmare creatures.
126%%* ShelteredAristocrat
127* SuperheroesWearCapes: He's a hero trying to help Klonoa save Phantomile from destruction [[spoiler:and his true form has a red cape.]]
128* TearfulSmile: Has one at the end of the game in the original Playstation version. Averted in both remakes of the first game where he doesn't look happy about in the slightest.
129* UnscrupulousHero: [[spoiler:In order to save his world, he pulls a hero from another reality, grants them FakeMemories of living in Phantomile, and pretends to have been their BestFriend for life. He knows full well that once the damage done to the world by Ghadius was restored by Lephise's song, this hero would return to their world against their will. And he does all this to a fellow ''child''. Downplayed since he does genuinely start to care for Klonoa, enough to feel guilt over manipulating them and tell them the truth before he has to disappear from his world.]]
130* VoluntaryShapeshifting: The orb-like form you see throughout most of the game [[spoiler:isn't his true form. When he is revealed to be the prince of the Moon Kingdom, we see that his true form is more humanoid.]]
131* WasItAllALie: [[spoiler: He did eventually start to see Klonoa as his best friend]].

139
140The head stone mason of Breezegale's Gunston Mine.
141----
142* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed in the Wii remake. While his personality remains mostly unchanged, he acts a bit less gruff compared to the original game, which is best exemplified in his introductory cutscene, where he is noticeably nicer towards Klonoa and Huepow compared to the original, where he immediately berates them for entering his tower without notifying him.
143* AllLoveIsUnrequited: He has a crush on the diva Lephise in ''Door to Phantomile'' and ''Klonoa Heroes'', so much so that he built a tower tall enough to reach her home in the former game. When he learns that [[ShaggyDogStory his feelings for her aren't quite requited]] (she believes they're JustFriends), he can only stand shocked and speechless. While Lephise shows Klonoa the Phonograph Balue made for her, the camera zooms out to show Balue standing away and [[OcularGushers silently crying to himself]].
144* AmbiguousSituation: As he accompanies the other kingdom monarchs to help Klonoa fight Nahatomb, it seems to imply Balue becomes the leader of Breezegale [[spoiler: after the death of Klonoa's grandfather.]]
145* BerserkButton: ''Do not'' question his love for Lephise. He explodes on Klonoa and Huepow when the latter genuinely asks if his tower can actually reach the Moon Kingdom.
146* TheBigGuy: Seems to be quite physically strong due to his job as stone mason. [[spoiler:Of the "Kingdom Monarchs" helping Klonoa in the finale, he's the biggest and bulkiest.]]
147* InASingleBound: Usually gets around via improbably high leaps.
148* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: An extremely grumpy and gruff old man who is still noble hearted. Lephise herself remarks he is much kinder than he looks.
149* PetTheDog: Despite how angry he was at Klonoa trespassing onto his tower, he accepts his apology and tells him and Huepow to take care before he leaves.

157
158The elder of the wind village of Breezegale, and Klonoa's guardian in ''Door to Phantomile'' and ''Klonoa Heroes''.
159----
160* AmbiguouslyRelated: He is stated to be Klonoa's grandfather in ''Door to Phantomile'' and ''Heroes'', and they are clearly the same species. However, the former game's reveal that [[spoiler:Klonoa was only recently brought to Phantomile and given FakeMemories]] brings into question whether or not he really was Klonoa's grandfather at all. [[spoiler: Some comments he has as he dies seem to indicate he knows Klonoa is the Dream Traveler, further adding to the mystery.]]
161* EyesOutOfSight: He has a head of long, white fur that always covers his eyes.
162* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:[[DiedInYourArmsTonight He dies in Klonoa's arms]] shortly after Joka blasts his house with a giant laser to retrieve the Moon Pendant]].
163* MentorArchetype: For the first half of the game or so, Grandpa gives Klonoa guidance on where to go and what to do next.
164* MentorOccupationalHazard: Blown up by Joke and died in Klonoa’s arms.
165* NiceGuy: A wise and caring guarding to Klonoa.
166* ParentalSubstitute: Raises Klonoa in ''Door to Phantomile'' and ''Klonoa Heroes''.
167* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He is killed by Joka about halfway through the game. This is shocking because up until then, Joka seemed like an incompetent, buffoonish villain. This moment proved that Joka could actually be a serious threat when he was desperate enough]].

174-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/YoshihikoArawi (''Klonoa: Door to Phantomile''), Unknown Voice Actor (English, ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball''), Creator/ToshioFurukawa (''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom''), Creator/BinShimada (Japanese, ''Klonoa Wii''), Creator/DaveMallow (English, ''Klonoa Wii'')
175
176A giggling clown-like creature that is one of the main villains in the ''Klonoa'' series, appearing in the first game and its spinoffs.
177----
178* ArchEnemy: The closest Klonoa has to one. In his first appearance in the first game, he badgers Klonoa throughout it, culminating in him [[spoiler: murdering Grandpa]]. He is also the most recurring villain in the franchise. Unusually for this trope, though, Joka has never been the BigBad of any installment of the series. He's always TheDragon to a rotating selection of villains.
179* ArtEvolution: Inverted. The Wii remake takes away his ability to make different facial expressions like in previous games, giving him a FrozenFace. ''Phantasy Reverie Series'' keeps the FrozenFace.
180* AxCrazy: In ''Door to Phantomile'', he gets more unhinged the more he fails, which leads to him going as far as to [[spoiler:murder Grandpa in cold blood.]]
181* BewareTheSillyOnes: He certainly doesn't seem like the type who would [[spoiler:commit murder via [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]]]], does he?
182* BlackEyesOfEvil: Has black cross/star-shaped eyes with no pupils or irides.
183* BondVillainStupidity:
184** Just before the BossBattle with Baladium, Joka is piloting some kind of flying machine that can launch missiles. Joka has the perfect opportunity to kill Klonoa but he chooses to shoot the corners of the bridge Klonoa is standing on instead. This causes the bridge to become detached and swing back and forth but leaves Klonoa himself unharmed.
185** In the first two boss fights he points out the first two bosses weaknesses [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper by warning them to watch out for]] [[InvertedTrope attacks that can get at their weak spots.]]
186* CatsAreMean: Downplayed. He has catlike ears, a CheshireCatGrin, and in some games, a long tail, but otherwise he's a CartoonCreature. He's still an evil trickster, though.
187* ContinuitySnarl: He has a different personality in every game he appears in. Plus, he already knows Klonoa in half of said appearances[[note]]''Klonoa Beach Volleyball'' and ''Dream Champ Tournament''[[/note]], and is killed in the other half.[[note]]''Door to Phantomile'' and ''Klonoa Heroes''[[/note]]
188* CheshireCatGrin: One of his most recognizable features. It gets creepier in the Wii remake. See FrozenFace below.
189* CircusSynths: This evil little clown is always associated with electronic music of some sort. His normal {{leitmotif}}, "[[https://youtu.be/ph4bxV8x-Uw Joker Mood]]" is a bouncy techno tune, while his battle theme, "[[https://youtu.be/Ijg1lUcNsUk Facade & Blade]]" starts out with some CreepyCircusMusic before switching to a dance tune with synth strings.
190* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: He has this in almost all of his appearances. How exactly it sounds depends on who's voicing him - his voice may sound like a CreepyChild, or more clownish, but either way, his voice is always high-pitched - barring the scene before [[spoiler:his boss battle]] in ''Door To Phantomile'', where he suddenly gains a VoiceOfTheLegion.
191* DirtyCoward: Until Vision 5-2, he seems pretty content with sending out various beasts to fight Klonoa for him in ''Door to Phantomile''. Klonoa even calls him out on it in the remake.
192* TheDragon: He serves as Ghadius's right-hand man in ''Door to Phantomile''.
193* DubNameChange: While "Joka" is a common Japanese transliteration for the English word "Joker", the former term is used by most international releases, likely because there's already [[ComicBook/TheJoker a well known DC supervillain that goes by the latter term.]] However, the English version of the Wii game calls him "Joker" anyway.
194* DyingSmirk: [[spoiler:After being defeated in his boss battle in the original game, Joka detonates into oblivion with a smile on his face. Same happens in the remake, though he has a perpetual smile anyway.]]
195* FauxAffablyEvil: Any politeness or joviality he shows drips with condescension, then completely shatters when enraged.
196* FloatingLimbs: In most of his appearances, his hands and feet have no connecting limbs. The exception is in the first game's Wii remake, where he has gangly, stick figure-like limbs instead.
197* FrozenFace: In the Wii remake, he is always smiling, even when scared or angry. Averted in other games, in which he is able to make other facial expressions.
198* GigglingVillain: He has a distinct giggle, contrasting with Ghadius' ominous EvilLaugh.
199* {{Greed}}: In the spinoffs, he ''loves'' money, and strives to gain more of it.
200* GoKartingWithBowser: a peculiar case, as Klonoa never seems to remember him or what he has done, he plays volleyball with him and calls a truce at the end of one of the games to take a photo.
201* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: As the one who personally [[spoiler: murdered Grandpa]], it speaks to reason that Klonoa hates him more then Ghadius.
202* {{Jerkass}}: Mocks Klonoa over [[spoiler: killing Grandpa]].
203* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: Killing Grandpa and mocking Klonoa about it]].
204* KnightOfCerebus: An example of a character growing into this as the game goes on. While starting off somewhat comedic, his [[spoiler: murder of Grandpa]] is played dead seriously and he darkens the tone of the game from that point forward.
205* LaughablyEvil: Subverted with Joka. He seems like a goofy IneffectualSympatheticVillain at first... then he [[spoiler:murders Klonoa's grandfather in cold blood]], quickly re-establishing him as a dangerous antagonist.
206* MagicalClown: He may be a bit incompetent, but don't let that fool you! Throughout the course of the series, he exhibits a wide range of magical abilities.
207* MakerOfMonsters: Joka can create crystal balls which, when thrown, shatter and hatch a monster that grows huge to fight Klonoa.
208* MonsterClown: No matter what game he appears in, he's a villainous, clown-like creature. The first game depicts him at his most sociopathic -- he [[spoiler:flat-out ''murders'' Grandpa]] out of sheer rage at having his ass handed to him by Klonoa so many times.
209* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: That is, if those are teeth. It's a little hard to tell.
210* MundaneUtility: Has powerful magic abilities that, in ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball'', he uses to [[spoiler:gain more money]].
211* TheNoseless: In most games except for the Wii remake, in which he is given a small pair of nostrils.
212* NotSoHarmlessVillain: The first half of ''Door to Phantomile'' makes him appear LaughablyEvil, what with sending out creatures that Klonoa can easily beat, and the latter being able to send him flying with a single wind bullet. Though, when his rage builds up from being beaten so many times, he [[spoiler:kills Klonoa's grandfather in cold blood]] and taunts Klonoa about it. And that's ''before'' he grows several sizes bigger and turns into a nightmare eclipse creature.
213* OneWingedAngel: In the first game, he becomes [[spoiler:an invincible turtle monster whenever nighttime shrouds the area]]. You need to "de-transform" him to win by recoloring the panels of the arena back to yellow (though he's able to re-transform again as the battle goes on).
214* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:The scenes before and after his fight in the first game, becoming deadly serious in his bid to hold on to his pride and defeat Klonoa.]]
215* PerpetualSmiler: In both remakes he never loses his SlasherSmile.
216* ProfessionalButtKisser: Implied. He's seen first working for Ghadius, and then later on with Garlen and Janga. Despite being one of the more recurring villains in the series, he has never been a BigBad or even TheStarscream, and seems content being the right-hand man to other baddies.
217* ScaledUp: In ''Door to Phantomile'', during his boss battle, he frequently transforms into a creature resembling a cross between a turtle and a lizard. What's worse is that his clownish appearance carries over to his reptilian form, making it a literal MonsterClown.
218* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: In the Northern Express world of ''Dream Champ Tournament'', it's stated he's paying off the Moos to hamper his opponent, a tactic which Garlen allows. [[spoiler:In his note in Garlen Castle, he claims he'll pay anything to avoid becoming a gear.]]
219* SlasherSmile: His creepy clown smile is certainly fitting for his wicked personality.
220* TheSociopath: In ''Door to Phantomile'', he ends up [[spoiler:killing Grandpa]] and mocking Klonoa about it. Averted in other games, where he remains LaughablyEvil to the point that he's more of a selfish buffoon than a sociopath.
221* TheSpook: Most villains in the series have a backstory or some sort of details about their origin. However, despite being the most recurring villain, Joka's origin is completely unknown. Nobody knows what exactly he is, where he came from, or how and why he came to work for Ghadius (and later other villains.)
222* TranquilFury: As he prepares to face Klonoa in the first game, his demeanour becomes eerily settled and calm as he vows not to let you pass alive, with his voice becoming increasingly deep and echoed. It's at this point we realise he really means business.
223* VillainousBreakdown: You can tell that he is getting increasingly irritated at he continues to meet and hamper Klonoa's progress [[spoiler:culminating in an OOC moment.]]
224* VillainousHarlequin: Throughout most of the series, he is portrayed as an incompetent villain in the same vein as [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Jessie, James, and Meowth]]. See OOCIsSeriousBusiness above for a time when he leaned more strongly towards the MonsterClown trope.
225* WeHaveReserves: As Beast Joka, he will often hit his own Eclipse minions while trying to hit Klonoa.
226* WouldHarmASenior: Threatens to torture Granny and [[spoiler: kills Grandpa]].
227* WouldHurtAChild: Sees no problem sending his monsters to kill Klonoa, and even attempts to kill him himself towards the end of the game.
228* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:Kills Grandpa for the pendant by blasting him and his home with a giant laser.]]

236-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeiYoshimizu (''Klonoa: Door to Phantomile''), Creator/RyuzaburoOtomo (Japanese, ''Klonoa Wii''), Creator/JBBlanc (English, ''Klonoa Wii'')
237
238One of Phantomile's nightmare creatures who seeks to destroy it.
239----
240* AllEncompassingMantle: Ghadius wraps himself in a long, black cloak, even though there is nothing but space inside.
241* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Life as a Nightmare wasn't kind to Ghadius, and it culminated in him being [[SealedEvilInACan sealed away]]. His release is what kicks off the plot of the first game.
242* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Of what little we see of his skin ([[FloatingLimbs or whatever skin he even has to begin with]]), it's completely white.
243* BadassCape: Apparently, it contains a portal into some void where he keeps things. [[spoiler:Including Lephise.]]
244* BigBad: Of ''Door to Phantomile''.
245* BulletHell: His BossBattle takes place in one of his own creation, known as the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Wheel of Woe]].
246* CelestialBody: Inside his cloak, there is nothing but a space-like void with stars and a black hole.
247* CoolMask: He wears (or perhaps ''is'') a gold-plated bird mask that covers only the top half of his face.
248* DarkIsEvil: He is known as the King of Darkness.
249* DieLaughing: He dies content, thinking his plan will still succeed and all the heroes will be killed when the world is destroyed by Nahatomb.
250* EvilIsBigger: He's the BigBad, and he towers over all the good characters, and his lackey, Joka.
251* EvilIsNotAToy: {{Subverted}}. When warned summoning Nahatomb would destroy themself along with the world, it's revealed [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum this is exactly what Ghadius wants, too]]. The former doesn't care that the destruction of Phantomile will kill him too, [[spoiler: and in the end, as Ghadius [[DieLaughing dies laughing]] just before Nahatomb emerges.]]
252* EvilLaugh: He frequently laughs menacingly, fitting his status as the BigBad.
253* EvilSoundsDeep: No matter which actor is voicing him, he always has a deep, echoing voice.
254* EvilWearsBlack: Wears a black cloak.
255* EyeObscuringHat: His eyes (if he even has any) are obscured by his mask/headdress.
256* FauxAffablyEvil: Talks in regal manner, but is a petty, vindictive being who wants to destroy all that lives out of spite.
257* FloatingLimbs: His entire being is made up of a cape, his mask and his gloves. The Wii remake averts this by physically attaching everything to the cape.
258* FlunkyBoss: He can summon {{Mooks}} called Death Moos during his boss battle.
259* HighCollarOfDoom: It's big enough to completely cover the back and sides of his head.
260* KilledOffForReal: An unusual case. [[spoiler:He, Joka, and Nahatomb]] are all dead by the end of ''Door to Phantomile'', yet the latter two make frequent appearances in spinoffs (with no explanations as to how they came back), while Ghadius never appears in any other game again (aside from the Wii remake of DTP.)
261* LeanAndMean: Invoked. He doesn't seem to have a torso, but his long cloak gives him a tall, thin appearance, and he is the BigBad.
262* NonStandardCharacterDesign: He doesn't even remotely resemble anything else in Phantomile, making it crystal clear that he's not supposed to be in this world.
263* OmnicidalManiac: He wants to destroy Phantomile, and he'll [[DeathSeeker kill himself to succeed]].
264* PreFinalBoss: Despite being the BigBad, Ghadius serves as the second-to-last boss in ''Door to Phantomile'', having already successfully awakened Nahatomb even after his defeat, forcing Klonoa and his allies to face Nahatomb as the FinalBoss.
265* RedEyesTakeWarning: Only on his mask though, not that it makes him look any less creepy.
266* SealedEvilInACan: Prior to the events of ''Door to Phantomile'', he was sealed away by the Spirit of Light and its allies. His escape, either through Joka's actions, his own powers, or the seal becoming weaker, sparks the plot of the game.
267* TheStoic: Outside of the occasional chuckle, he’s pretty deadpanned and unfeeling.
268* StrawNihilist: As a [[LivingDream nightmare creature]] in the DreamLand of Phantomile, he was sealed away by the good spirits of Phantomile. As a result, he became disgusted by the residents of Phantomile for only liking "happy dreams," leading him to believe that nothing in the world matters. In the present, his goal is to [[SummonBiggerFish revive the ultimate nightmare, Nahatomb]], to destroy all of Phantomile. Ghadius doesn't care that Nahatomb's rebirth will kill him as well, and [[spoiler:actually [[DieLaughing dies laughing]] as he summons Nahatomb.]]
269-->'''Ghadius:''' I don't care. The world has already rejected me. Now it is simply my turn to reject the world.
270* SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: By the time of ''Door to Phantomile'''s events, Ghadius is so incredibly fed up with the world and its inhabitants that he just wants it gone, and thinks nothing of his own inevitable demise as a result.
271* SummonBiggerFish: His plan: summon Nahatomb so that it can destroy the world. [[spoiler:The first part succeeds, not so much the second.]]
272* TakingYouWithMe: His plan at large is to summon Nahatomb to destroy Phantomile, knowing he will be killed as well.
273* TechnicolorFire: One of his attacks has him drop flaming mouth-like projectiles, covered in blue or purple fire.
274* VoiceOfTheLegion: Much more prevalent in the Wii version; in the Platform/PlayStation version, you only hear it through his DeathCryEcho, though the blatant clipping in his original Japanese audio does give off a similarly unnerving effect.
275* WouldHurtAChild: Sends Joka and his monsters to kill Klonoa, then attempts to do it himself when they all fail.
276* YouHaveFailedMe: Bellows this out at Joka (word for word in the remake) for failing to dispose of Klonoa. He claims that it doesn't matter, however, as he is confident that his plans will succeed regardless (much to Joka's relief).

281[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nahatomb_model_1_klonoa_wii_removebg_preview.png]]
282
283The final boss of the first game, an EldritchAbomination made from the nightmares of Phantomile and the body of Lephise.
284----
285* BeatTheCurseOutOfHer: In ''Door to Phantomile'', where Nahatomb possessed and transformed Lephise's body so he could be reborn. When he's defeated, Lephise reappears as normal, safe and sound.
286* BiggerOnTheInside: While Nahatomb is already ''enormous'' on the outside, when Klonoa is sucked inside him for the second phase, there's a whole, endless void inside.
287* BishonenLine: Averted in ''Door to Phantomile'' and ''Beach Volleyball'', where all of his forms are completely monstrous, not at all humanlike. Inverted in ''Heroes'', where his design is changed so that he ''starts off'' as a humanoid, armored figure, but goes OneWingedAngel and turns into a DraconicAbomination.
288* BodyHorror: In ''Door to Phantomile''. Him turning the body of Lephise into a purple monstrosity is bad enough, but his final form goes further, resembling a much less intact version of his original form. His head, fingers, and tail are skeletal, he has crystals jutting from his shoulders, spikes jutting from his arms, and ''ribs jutting out of his torso''. He also has frayed, hanging skin at the bottom of his torso, adding a BedsheetGhost-esque look. The dialogue implies that this transformation is either a result of the leaders of Phantomile shooting Nahatomb with their cannons, Klonoa destroying the spirit inside Nahatomb's body, or both.
289* CelestialBody: Invoked. His stomach is dark blue with white, starlike dots.
290* CigarChomper: In ''Beach Volleyball'', he is constantly smoking a cigar as part of his CorruptCorporateExecutive redesign.
291* DemonicPossession: If Ghadius' comment about Nahatomb taking over Lephise's body is taken at face value, anyway.
292* DraconicAbomination: His final form in ''Heroes'' looks like a giant, twisted dragon.
293* EldritchAbomination: He's the ultimate embodiment of nightmares with the ability to destroy the world and his design is nothing like the designs of the rest of the cast.
294* EvilIsBigger: Nahatomb is the ultimate evil in Phantomile, and he's perhaps the largest character in the game
295* ExtraEyes: Has 4 eyes in all of his forms in ''Door to Phantomile''.
296* FallenHero: According to ''Heroes'', he was originally the Hero of the Moon before turning into a dark monster. The people of the moon sealed him away to stop him from destroying the world.
297* FatBastard: It's an evil nightmare creature that is enormous, bloated, and obese.
298* FinalBoss: Of ''Door to Phantomile'' and ''Klonoa Heroes''.
299* FinalBossNewDimension: All 3 phases of his boss fight in ''Klonoa Heroes'' take place within a nightmare dimension called the "Darkness of Nahatomb".
300* FlunkyBoss: In ''Door to Phantomile'', he can spawn Death Moos from the volcano-like spouts on his back. [[TacticalSuicideBoss These are the projectiles you use to defeat him]].
301* GenericDoomsdayVillain: In ''Door to Phantomile'', Nahatomb has no real characterization beyond a desire to destroy all of Phantomile, though this is {{justified|Trope}} since he was made to be so by Ghadius. Averted in ''Beach Volleyball'' (where he has a real personality and characterization) and ''Klonoa Heroes'' (where he is given an actual backstory).
302* HellishPupils: Has these in all four of his eyes.
303* HiddenVillain: He's only mentioned late in the game, and isn't seen until his fight.
304* HornsOfVillainy: He's an evil monster with long, curled horns that hover above his head.
305* LighterAndSofter: In ''Door to Phantomile,'' he is an enormous, mindless abomination that wants to destroy the world. In ''Beach Volleyball'', he is reimagined as a CorruptCorporateExecutive type and given a less scary design.
306* LovecraftLite: Being an EldritchAbomination that is capable of wiping out the entire world if summoned doesn’t translate into being impossible to defeat.
307* MadeOfEvil: He is literally made of nightmares. [[spoiler:As in, Ghadius' own nightmares.]]
308* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name contains the word "tomb." He definitely wants to put everyone in a tomb.
309* OurGeniesAreDifferent: Played with. Despite never being described as a genie, he has some traits of stereotypical genies, such as his ghostlike tail and his golden bracelets/shackles. Like a genie, he is sealed inside an object (his egg) until he is summoned by someone else (Ghadius) to fulfill a wish (destroy Phantomile)... although it's unknown if Ghadius ever directly wished Nahatomb to do this, and it seems that Nahatomb was already dead set on destroying the world no matter what.
310* PurpleIsPowerful: His skin as well as [[spoiler:the ghost thing inside his body]] are purple.
311* SealedEvilInACan: With the can in question being an egg. Ghadius manages to revive him using his own nightmares and Lephise's body as a vessel.
312* SequentialBoss: His battle has three phases, and he takes a different form in each one. He's the only boss in the series with more than two phases.
313* SummonBiggerFish: The "Bigger Fish" summoned by Ghadius, who had used his own nightmares in the creature's revival.
314* VillainDecay: In ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball'', he goes from EldritchAbomination to CorruptCorporateExecutive, and as a result is given a LighterAndSofter redesign.
315* WombLevel: The second part of its boss battle takes place inside its stomach.

326* AdaptationDyeJob: In the first game, her skin color was purple but was changed to white in the Wii remake. ''Phantasy Reverie'' reverts back to her original purple skin color and less humanoid design.
327* AndIMustScream: Ghadius traps her in the spacelike dimension inside his cloak, keeping her in a sleeplike state until she is freed at the end of the game.
328* ArtEvolution: She had a chibi look in the first game, but the Wii remake gives her more realistic human proportions. ''Klonoa Phantasy Reverie'' reverts back to her original design from the original game.
329* BetterAsFriends: She tells Balue in the extra vision that she likes him more like a big brother, to his shock. The fact that he's almost old enough to be her father doesn't help.
330* DamselInDistress: One of Klonoa's main goals in ''Door to Phantomile'' and the remake is saving her from Ghadius.
331* ForcedTransformation: What Ghadius inflicted upon her to invoke the revival of Nahatomb.
332* LivingMacGuffin: She's important enough for Ghadius to want to kidnap her. [[spoiler:He needs to [[DemonicPossession use her body]] [[ForcedTransformation as a vessel]] to bring back Nahatomb.]]
333* MagicMusic: When she sings her Song of Rebirth, the world of Phantomile is magically [[ResetButton restored to the way it was before]], and any remaining nightmare creatures and other non-Phantomilians ([[spoiler:including Klonoa]]) are sent back to their own worlds.
334* PurpleIsPowerful: She has the power to reset the entire world of Phantomile with her magic singing, and she wears a purple cap and a white-and-purple robe.

366* BigDamnHeroes: In ''Door to Phantomile'' and the remake, Pamela comes to Klonoa at his lowest moment ([[spoiler:Grandpa's death]]) and flies Klonoa and Huepow to the Sun Temple to give them a chance at stopping Ghadius and Joka.
367* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Pamela and King Seadoph are brainwashed by Ghadius and collectively become the second boss. Klonoa snaps the two out of it.
368* DualBoss: Played with. Pamela and King Seadoph are collectively the second boss of ''Door to Phantomile''. However, rather than attacking them separately, you actually use Cursed Seadoph as the projectile to defeat Cursed Pamela.
369* DudeInDistress: When Karal is introduced, he has been locked in a cage by the villains. Klonoa and Huepow free him, and they become friends.

379
380The king of Jugpot, the Water Kingdom. Like Pamela, he is brainwashed and turned into a monster by Ghadius and Joka.
381----
382* BeatTheCurseOutOfHim: Pamela and King Seadoph are brainwashed by Ghadius. Klonoa un-brainwashes them by defeating them in battle.
383* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Pamela and King Seadoph are brainwashed by Ghadius and collectively become the second boss. Klonoa snaps the two out of it.
384* DualBoss: Played with. Pamela and King Seadoph are collectively the second boss of ''Door to Phantomile''. However, rather than attacking them separately, you actually use Cursed Seadoph as the projectile to defeat Cursed Pamela.
385* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: His normal form looks like a chibi humanoid, but when he is BrainwashedAndCrazy, he turns into a form that looks more animalistic and scary.
386* FishPeople: Seadoph and the other residents of Jugpot resemble small humanoids with fishlike features.
387* TheGoodKing: Seadoph is a kindhearted king when he's not under evil brainwashing.
388* NoMouth: He has a bushy mustache that obscures his mouth.

392!!Moo
393[[quoteright:166:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/moonoa.png]]
394
395Moos are the most common enemy species in the Klonoa series, appearing in basically every game since the first. They come in many different varieties.
396----
397* AdorableEvilMinions: Most of the Moos are round, vaguely catlike creatures with cute smiles, and they're the most common enemies in the series.
398* AirborneMook: Flying Moos resemble normal Moos, but green and with wings.
399* CartoonCreature: Like with many Klonoa characters, Moos don't neatly resemble any one animal. They look ''kind of'' catlike, but not too catlike.
400* CatSmile: Most Moos have a cat smile, which fits with them being AdorableEvilMinions.
401* CheshireCatGrin: Armored Moos have a huge, sharp-toothed grin painted onto their helmets.
402* EyelessFace: Unlike other Moos, Death Moos, a special kind summoned only by [[BigBad Ghadius]] and [[GreaterScopeVillain Nahatomb]] in ''Door to Phantomile'', lack any facial features except a large JaggedMouth.
403* FunnyOctopus: Octomoo, a tentacled Moo that was supposed to be an enemy in ''Door to Phantomile''. It looks just as cute and funny as most of the other Moos. Octomoo was scrapped as an enemy, but you can still see one frozen in a giant icicle in one level.
404* GiantMook: Giant Moos are big versions of normal Moos. Unlike normal-sized enemies, Klonoa can't pick them up, but he can stand on them after hitting them with a Wind Bullet.
405* TheGoomba: Normal Moos are the first and most common enemies seen. They just walk around aimlessly.
406* HeavilyArmoredMook: Armored Moos wear a helmet (which, since they are {{Waddling Head}}s, covers nearly their entire bodies). You have to hit them with another enemy to break the armor off. Death Moos also have an armored variant themselves.
407* JaggedMouth: Death Moos, a special kind only summoned by Ghadius and Nahatomb, have nothing on their faces but a large, jagged mouth.
408* NonIndicativeName: Their name would imply that they are cow-like creatures, but they don't really resemble cows at all.
409* PokemonSpeak: Games that give them speaking lines (i.e. ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball'' and ''Klonoa Heroes'') will have them exhibit this, as they're only able to say "Moo".
410** Averted in the slapstick manga, as [[IdiotHero Klonoa's]] OnlySaneMan sidekick is a Moo that can speak the audience's language.
411* ShieldBearingMook: Shield Moos carry shields. These Moos can only be picked up from the back, not the front.
412* UndergroundMonkey: [[https://klonoa.fandom.com/wiki/Moo There are many different types of Moos]]. Most look very similar to basic Moos, with a few tweaks or additions their designs.
413* UniformityException: ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball'' lets you play as a Moo (named Heart Moo), who differentiates himself from other Moos by wearing a green bandana with a heart symbol on it.
414* WaddlingHead: The Moos are round creatures with stubby arms and feet.

417[[folder:Boss monsters (Rongo Lango, Gelg Bolm, and Baladium)]]
418Three monsters created by Joka that serve as the first, third, and fourth bosses respectively. Rongo Lango is a dinosaur/dragon-like creature, Gelg Bolm is a giant, toothy plant, and Baladium is a cobra with wings.
419
420!!!In general
421* AttackItsWeakPoint: They all have a certain weak point: Rongo Lango's backside, the inside of Gelg Bolm's mouth, and the colored scales on Baladium's sides. Joka warns Rongo Lango and Gelg Bolm to watch out for their weak points, inadvertently telling the player how to beat them.
422* SilentAntagonist: None of them have any dialogue.
423
424!!!Rongo Lango
425* ArmlessBiped: Rongo Lango has two large legs and no arms.
426* InTheBack: Its weakpoint is its backside.
427* OurDragonsAreDifferent: It's a strange creature resembling a dragon or dinosaur. It has a curved, beak-shaped snout with an underbite, two legs and no arms, and a curled, chameleon-like tail.
428* WarmUpBoss: Fitting the first boss, none of its attacks are hard to dodge, and its weak spot is glaringly obvious even if Joka didn't spell it out before the fight.
429
430!!!Gelg Bolm
431* DeathFromAbove: To hurt it, you have to bounce up with a spring and throw a Moo down into its mouth.
432* ManEatingPlant: Implied. It's not shown eating anyone, but it does have a nasty set of chompers that make it look like a carnivorous plant.
433
434!!!Baladium
435* BackgroundBoss: You fight it on a bridge as the bridge swings back and forth between the foreground and background, and you need to wait until Baladium is in range to shoot enemies at it.
436* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The weak scales on its body come in four different colors: red, blue, green, and yellow. Baladium has four different attacks, each corresponding to one of the scale colors. Each scale disappears when you hit it, and Baladium can only use attacks based on the scale colors it still has left.
437* TheGreatSerpent: It's a monster resembling a giant hooded cobra. With ''wings''.

447
448A priestess-in-training who meets up with Klonoa upon his arrival in Lunatea.
449----
450* BreakTheCutie:
451** She experiences this after witnessing her past actions during the ending of the Maze of Memories stage. She instantly starts crying out of guilt and apologizes to Klonoa and Popka for her actions. This results in her [[HeroicBSOD temporarily wanting to quit being a priestess and refuses to help Klonoa]] during the first half of a BossBattle following it.
452** In the webcomic, Nightmare Klonoa enjoys tormenting Lolo's feeling on Klonoa by frequently telling her that he won't come back. Similar to ''Lunatea's Veil'', Popka had to convience her that he hadn't forgotten her and is actually saving her from his evil counterpart.
453* CatharticCrying: Before Klonoa leaves Lunatea, Lolo starts shedding tears while asking Klonoa if it's okay to cry. Once she runs up to hug him, she starts audibly crying in sadness knowing she won't see Klonoa again.
454* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Huepow and Lolo act as the {{Deuteragonist}} to Klonoa’s protagonist in their respective games by [[LivingWeapon powering his ring]], but their differences couldn’t be any more clear.
455** Huepow is secretly a prince of the Moon Kingdom, something that would not be revealed to Klonoa until the endgame. Lolo is a priestess in training who wanted to prove her worth after being mocked by the other priestesses, something that would be revealed to Klonoa during the Maze of Memories level (which takes place before the game’s climax).
456** Huepow summoned Klonoa into Phantomile and gave him FakeMemories so that he’ll help him to save the world from Ghadius, but [[BecomingTheMask he does grow to care for him as a friend during their journey]] to the point he’s anguished by the fact that Klonoa will be forced to leave. Lolo saves Klonoa from drowning when he arrives in Lunatea and is genuinely friends with him from the start, even if she did have a SecretlySelfish reason to accompany him on his journey.
457** While Huepow reluctantly tells the truth to Klonoa and actually tries to keep Klonoa from leaving as he’s being forced out of Phantomile, Lolo initially tries to bottle up her feelings when she realizes Klonoa will have to leave Lunatea, before crying her heart out and admitting she doesn’t want him to go. Notably, while Klonoa initially refuses to believe his life had been a lie and tries to hold on to Huepow’s hand due to not wanting to leave Phantomile, Klonoa comforts Lolo and reassures her they will always be together before he reluctantly, but willingly departs Lunatea.
458* CuteClumsyGirl: Her profile picture is of her post-tripping. Her ending in ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball'' has her freaquently breaking stuff while shopping. It's likely her clumsiness is the reason she has yet to become a priestess.
459* CryIntoChest: During the ending of ''Lunatea's Veil'', she tries to keep her composure after learning Klonoa is leaving knowing she won't see her friend again. However, she instantly breaks down and is heard loudly sobbing into Klonoa's arms wishing he didn't have to go.
460* DamselInDistress: She's kidnapped by the villains in ''Dream Champ Tournament'' and ''Klonoa Heroes''; the former so that Klonoa is provoked into taking said tournament seriously, and the latter so [[LivingBattery her prayers can be used to concentrate nightmare energy]].
461* DisneyDeath: Having her prayers used for nightmare energy leaves her in a coma by the end of ''Klonoa Heroes''. It's only thanks to the Radiant Flower blooming near her that she's able to wake up.
462* FinalFirstHug: With Klonoa at the end of ''Lunatea's Veil'', as she begs him not to leave.
463* GirlyRun: She has this gait, at least in ''Lunatea's Veil'' during cutscenes, going quite well with her kind-hearted but shy personality, which contrasts with Leorina's more tomboyish personality.
464* HeartBeatDown: In ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball'', Lolo's LimitBreak involves her floating in mid-air surrounded by pink hearts and praying for the volleyball to hit the other team.
465* HeroicBSOD: Has one after the Maze of Memories level in ''Lunatea's Veil'', when she believes she only became a full priestess because of Klonoa's power. This gets to the point where she almost gives up on the group's quest, and subsequently refuses to help Klonoa during the first phase of the following boss fight.
466* HeWillNotCrySoICryForHim: [[spoiler:Right before Klonoa leaves Lunatea, she does this. Granted, he did a lot of crying back in ''[[BreakTheCutie Door to Phantomile]]'', so he's probably used to it by now.]]
467* InvisibleParents: In ''Heroes'', she's seen saying goodbye to her parents before she leaves Breezegale for the Sky Temple, though we don't see or hear either of them.
468* LittleBitBeastly: She has a monkey-like face and ears, while her tail and hair gives her a lion-like appearance, but other than that [[AmbiguouslyHuman she is one of the more human-looking characters in the series]]. Eventually, character designer Yoshihiko Arai confirmed that Lolo and her species (such as The High Priestess and Leorina) are humanoid monkeys.
469* LivingBattery: She's kidnapped by Joka and Janga in ''Klonoa Heroes'' so her prayers can be used to resurrect the Darkness of Nahatomb, since as a priestess, hers are the only prayers that can concentrate all of the nightmares in the world into an energy powerful enough to reawaken the beast.
470* LivingWeapon: Like Huepow before her, she powers Klonoa's ring in ''Lunatea's Veil''.
471* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:As revealed during the Maze of Memories level, Lolo failed to become a full priestess by herself in the past, and she was often ridiculed for being weak and a failure. This led to her becoming a PsychoSupporter]]
472* NiceGirl: Despite her faults, Lolo really is a good person, going out of her way to help people (such as saving Klonoa from drowning and helping Klonoa to save Volk City from destruction).
473* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Her pink outfit contrasts with Klonoa's blue one.
474* PlatformingPocketPal: Like Huepow, she'll stay in Klonoa's wind ring during gameplay in ''Lunatea's Veil''.
475* PsychoSupporter: Downplayed. [[spoiler:Barring the fact that he was needed to save Lunatea, the real initial reason Lolo agreed to go along with Klonoa was because his power would allow her to finally gain full priestess status.]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone This definitely changes by the end of the game]], though, when she [[spoiler:gives up her title so that she can earn it again on her own, and [[TearJerker breaks down in tears]] upon finding out that Klonoa can't stay in Lunatea.]]
476* RapidFireNo: When Lolo runs up to hug Klonoa before leaving Lunatea, she is heard shouting "No" multiple times to him out of pure sadness.
477* SecretlySelfish: Downplayed. Lolo is a genuinely kind-hearted person, but she accompanies Klonoa on his journey through Lunatea mainly to prove her worth as a priestess, and when she finds out that Leorina is also collecting the Elements, [[GlorySeeker she assumes she wants to save the world first and seeks to beat her to that goal]]. Being forced to face her insecurities helps her to overcome this and she becomes genuinely altruistic.
478* ShipTease: Lolo has plenty of moments with Klonoa, getting easily embarrassed and flustered when her crush on Klonoa is hinted at from her statement of how she liked him the way he is, and wanting to impress him in ''Dream Champ Tournament'' with her skills after training as a Priestess. ''Klonoa Heroes'' hints that these feelings may be reciprocated and Klonoa doesn't even know it yet. One of the final stories from the [[Manga/{{Klonoa}} gag manga]] featured [[LoveConfession Lolo giving a love confession to Klonoa]] in the middle of a fight. This extends to the webcomic where Lolo gets very flattered after Klonoa tells The High Pristess that it was her that saved the day.
479* StepfordSmiler: When realizing Klonoa wasn't from her world and is leaving during the ending of ''Lunatea's Veil''. Lolo tries to hide her sad emotions by smiling, until tears starts rolling down her face. After she asks him if it's alright to cry, her true emotions on Klonoa leaving her is fully shown.
480* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Her girly girl to Leorina's tomboy.
481* YouMustBeCold: According to ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball'', she first saw Popka in a box on a cold winter night, and offered him her scarf to help keep him warm. They’ve been friends ever since.

490Lolo's companion, who ''also'' meets Klonoa upon his arrival in Lunatea.
491----
492* AnimalSpeciesAccent: He's a doglike creature, and his SpeakingSimlish frequently contains "bow wow" sounds. He also has a growly, high-pitched voice like that of a feisty puppy.
493* BadassesWearBandanas: His only article of clothing is a red scarf/bandana around his neck.
494* BrattyHalfPint: Compared to Klonoa and Lolo, Popka isn't afraid of picking fights with enemies and mostly yells out of frustration. His limit break in ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball'' consists of him shouting.
495* ExoticEyeDesigns: His eyes have a unique line pattern that make them look like gemstones.
496* FellAsleepCrying: During the ending to the ''Phantasy Reverie'' remake of the sequel. Popka appeared to had cried himself to sleep knowing Klonoa is leaving Lunatea. He actually wakes up to witness his friend leaving unlike the original [=PS2=] version.
497* FurryReminder: [[DummiedOut One unused voice line]] for Popka featured him letting out a sad whimper after realizing Klonoa is leaving Lunatea.
498* HeroicCaninesVillainousFelines: Popka, a doglike creature, assists the heroes, while Tat, a catlike creature, assists the antagonistic Leorina.
499* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he isn't afraid of mouthing off Tat and Leronia alongside being brutally honest at times, he's mostly doing it out of concern and love (especially towards Lolo).
500* PreciousPuppy: A heroic puppy-like creature who is energetic and adorable.
501* SuperScream: His LimitBreak in ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball''.
502* TagalongKid: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]; a second player can use him to throw Klonoa thus giving Klonoa another jump. He also tags along with Lolo long before they met Klonoa.
503* TryingNotToCry: During the ending of Klonoa 2, Popka is seen listening to Klonoa and Lolo's final conversation before he leaves Lunatea. He tries to remain calm but suddenly begins silently crying to himself knowing he won't see his friend again.
504* UndyingLoyalty: With Klonoa and especially Lolo. He remains loyal with her goal on becoming a priestess and snaps her out of feeling guilty and encourging her to help out Klonoa.
505* WhatTheHellHero: Chews out Lolo for giving up halfway through her quest and endangering Klonoa as a result.

513
514Lolo's superior, and the governing body of the Claire Moa temple in La-Lakoosha.
515----
516* AmbiguouslyHuman: The closest of any character, along with Leorina and Lolo.
517* EveryoneCallsHerBarkeep: She's only ever known as the High Priestess and she's just that.
518* HighPriestess: She is the top-ranking priestess of the Claire Moa temple, and she is responsible for training new priestesses like Lolo.
519* InterspeciesAdoption: Judging by the end credits to ''Lunatea's Veil'', it's hinted that the High Priestess might had been the adoptive mother to The King of Sorrow and known him for years back before getting exhiled from Lunatea.
520* {{Leitmotif}}: Her character theme is a slower melancholic varation of "Path of Goddess Claire", which is later given an even more somber version called "The High Priestess of Sadness".
521* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She treats her priestesses as if they were her children and is probably one of the wisest characters in the series.

530A sky pirate who initially sought to revive the Kingdom of Sorrow by force. She had a particular interest in recreating Klonoa's wind ring...
531----
532* AmbiguouslyBrown: She's the only La-Lakooshan we see who has a dark skin tone.
533* AmbiguouslyHuman: The closest of any character, along with Lolo and the High Priestess.
534* AmbiguousSituation: It's implied that the King of Sorrow took advantage of her desire to be acknowledged, using her as a pawn to achieve his goals. Her monster boss form may be how he repayed her for her service, having realised she was motivated more by her own greed and thirst for power, and therefore saw no further use for her.
535* AmbitionIsEvil / APupilOfMineUntilSheTurnedToEvil: [[spoiler:Was a priestess who got fed up waiting for power or recognition, turning to villainous methods to get it.]]
536* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Ghadius. Ghadius and Leorina both have an intimidating presence, dark clothing, and deep voices. Ghadius is the BigBad of his game, and he is known to be the BigBad from the moment we see him. Leorina initially seems like the BigBad of ''Lunatea's Veil'' but turns out to be a DiscOneFinalBoss. Ghadius [[spoiler:stays evil to the end and dies laughing as his plan to summon Nahatomb succeeds]], while Leorina [[spoiler:makes a HeelFaceTurn after Klonoa saves her from being cursed]].
537* DiscOneFinalBoss: Of ''Lunatea's Veil''. Leorina and Tat follow Klonoa and friends and cause a lot of trouble throughout the game, but someone else is responsible for the mysterious fifth bell in Lunatea...
538* EvilCounterpart: To [[spoiler:Lolo, another priestess who wanted recognition]]; who was [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone utterly broken]] upon realizing how selfish her motives were, something Leorina didn't care about [[spoiler:until she got a ''harsher'' realization]].
539* EvilLaugh: After she steals the Element of Discord and sets Volk's reactors to self-destruct.
540* EvilRedHead: [[spoiler:At first.]]
541* EvilSoundsDeep: She is an antagonist for much of ''Lunatea's Veil'', and she has a very low voice, perhaps the deepest voice of any female character in the series.
542* TheHeavy: Before [[spoiler:the King of Sorrow's existence is revealed]], Leorina acts as the main antagonist, seeking to claim the Elements for the sake of power and serves as the heroes' primary adversary.
543* HeelRealization / MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Tries to wield the power of Sorrow, but it mutates her. When Klonoa and the other rescued her, she laments from the mistake she made (complete with a PrecisionFStrike) and eventually joins them in preventing it from being used again.]]
544* GoodEyesEvilEyes: Zig-zagged. Her eyes start out as the latter; vacant and lifeless, but upon being defeated in her boss form, they become the former.
545* {{Leitmotif}}: A very sophisticated, yet dark theme played on a harpsichord. It becomes more [[DarkReprise foreboding]] after Mobile Tank Biskarsh's first defeat and aquiring one of Lunatea's elements.
546* MakerOfMonsters: She somehow creates a variety of monsters that serve as the bosses in ''Lunatea's Veil'', although it's not made clear exactly how she creates them.
547* ShutUpHannibal: [[spoiler: When the King of Sorrow is calling out the people of Lunatea for rejecting sorrow, Leorina interrupts him and calls ''him'' out with an angry TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. In particular she criticizes the King’s extreme self-pity and demanding sorrow be accepted when [[{{Hypocrite}} he himself is rejecting Lunatea.]] This cutting speech leads to the climax of the King’s VillainousBreakdown.]]
548* SoftSpokenSadist: She almost never raises her voice, even when sending monsters to kill Klonoa.
549* ThatWomanIsDead: [[spoiler: Used to go by Leo when she was a priestess.]]
550* TheRival: [[spoiler:She goes so far as to make a fake Wind Ring in the real one's likeness.]]
551* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Her tomboy to Lolo's girly girl.
552* WhenSheSmiles: After Klonoa defeats the King of Sorrow, as he's talking to The King about Sorrow not being terrible and people should embrace it. Leorina alongside Tat is silently lessening to Klonoa's word where she's seen smiling. During the game's credits, she can also be seen smiling as she and Tat are rebuilding the Kingdom of Sorrow.

561Leorina's companion - [[{{Catgirl}} a cat-like creature]] that can [[LiteralSplitPersonality split into two separate beings]].
562----
563* AnimalSpeciesAccent: She's a cat, and her SpeakingSimlish sounds like a series of "meows."
564* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: Don't call her and Leorina "thieves." She prefers the term "Sky Pirate".
565* {{Catgirl}}: A feline-like creature.
566* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Joka.
567** Both are cheerful, comical sidekicks to a dark and intimidating antagonist. Both resemble a clownlike cat, although Joka's design leans more towards "clown," while Tat's leans more towards "cat."
568** Tat has a flirtatious {{Tsundere}} attitude towards Klonoa, while Joka is FauxAffablyEvil with no such feelings.
569** Both have a moment early in the game where they get on top of a high ledge and wait to see if Klonoa can make it up there. Joka mocks Klonoa, only to [[OhCrap panic]] when Klonoa actually succeeds. Tat gives Klonoa a tip on how to get up to the ledge because [[{{Tsundere}} she likes him a little]].
570** Tat gives Klonoa a hint on how to get up to the ledge out of kindness, while Joka accidentally gives Klonoa hints on how to beat his monsters out of sheer stupidity.
571** [[spoiler:Tat makes a HeelFaceTurn and lives to the end along with Leorina, while Joka stays evil to the end and dies just like Ghadius]].
572** The connection between her and Joka is highlighted in ''Phantasy Reverie Series'', where the DLC allows Klonoa to wear a Joka mask in the first game, and a Tat mask in the second game.
573* DualityMotif: She's white on one side and dark purple on the other. She's a {{Tsundere}} towards Klonoa, and when she splits into two separate beings, her white half is nicer than her purple half.
574* EyesAlwaysShut: Her left eye is always closed.
575* GenkiGirl: She's very hyperactive which is more evident with the mischevious side of her body.
576* HeroicCaninesVillainousFelines: She, a catlike creature, assists the villainous Leorina, while the doglike Popka helps the heroes.
577* {{Leitmotif}}: Her character theme consists of humorous xylophones which is also heard during her chase sequence.
578* LiteralSplitPersonality: Can split into two serperate beings - her black self is much meaner and naughtier, while her white self is much nicer and friendlier. [[spoiler:The conflict between her split personalities ends up ruining her plan to steal Klonoa's collected elements, as her good side actually helps Klonoa to capture her evil side.]]
579* PerpetualSmiler: She managed to keep a smile on her face even as the game's story gets serious and more dramatic.
580* PerkyFemaleMinion: Tat is Leorina's devoted sidekick. She is energetic, mischievous, and even a little flirtatious.
581* RightHandCat: She's a feline creature, and the loyal henchgirl of Leorina.
582* TheRival: To Popka.
583* ShooOutTheClowns: As Leorina's comical sidekick, she is not present at all during Leorina's more serious moments, such as when Leorina [[spoiler:activates all four elements, summoning the Kingdom of Sorrow, and later becomes Cursed Leorina]]. Tat shows up again after [[spoiler:Leorina's HeelFaceTurn]], but even then, as the story draws to a dramatic climax, she has very few lines.
584* {{Tsundere}}: When [[LiteralSplitPersonality she's split into two beings]], her white side likes Klonoa (to the point that the subtitle for Joliant Fun Park is "[[LampshadeHanging ~ A Date With Tat ~]]"), and her black side decidedly doesn't and gives him a harder time. As such, she comes across as very love-hate in her interactions with Klonoa and Popka when whole.
585* UndyingLoyalty: Always sticks with Leorina, no matter the situation.
586* VerbalTic: She frequently says "Nya" or "Mew" in almost every sentence she says.
587* VillainousHarlequin: Downplayed. She is an evil henchgirl, and although not as pronounced as Joka, her design does have some clownlike elements. Her half-white, half-black body, dress-like torso, and round buttons give off a jester vibe. Her playful, energetic personality helps too.

598* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:Baguji turns out to have been controlled by the King of Sorrow all along to manipulate Klonoa into bringing back the Kingdom of Sorrow.]]
599* FloatingLimbs: His palms are rings that float seperately from his arms, and his fingers are also detached from his palms.

Baguji's exact nature is not made explicitly clear, but it is implied that he is [[spoiler:a lifeless body that the King of Sorrow was speaking through in order to gain the trust of Klonoa and friends]].

608!!Momett
609[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/momett.png]]
610
611-> '''Voiced By:''' Creator/ShinAomori
612
613The jolly showman of the Momett House in Joilant. In addition to hosting many bonus features for the player to check out (such as a music player and an art collection), he also created the Momett Dolls, which the player obtains by collecting all six stars in each level. He also has two bonus levels, the Chamber o'Fun and the Chamber o'Horrors, which are each unlocked by collecting a certain number of Momett Dolls.
614----
615* BigFun: He's the most rotund resident of Joilant, which fits his jovial, fun-loving personality.
616* TheCameo: In ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball'', he is the shopkeeper who briefly appears in Joka's ending (although only his sleeve and his shadow are seen.)
617* CoolOldGuy: An incredibly friendly and helpful old guy.
618* CuteOversizedSleeves: Like all members of his species, Momett has large sleeves that completely hide his hands, if he even has any. This is fitting because he lives in Joilant, the amusement park kingdom which has an overall theme of childlike innocence.
619* FunPersonified: He's a carnival showman who likes setting up fun challenges for his guests. He also makes dolls.
620* GagNose: The other residents of Joilant have thin snouts that taper to a soft point, but Momett's is large and rounded.
621* HappyCircusMusic: Fitting for a circus showman, his {{leitmotif}}, "Quenchless Curiosity" is a jaunty ragtime tune that sounds perfect for an old-timey carnival.
622* {{Leitmotif}}: His theme is "[[https://youtu.be/dnLxozTy3LA Quenchless Curiosity]]," a ragtime piano tune.
623* MemoryJar: Momett likes to preserve memories by creating dolls and carnival attractions based on them. When the player meets him, this allows him to replay bosses and other levels with new challenges, implying that Momett has some sort of magical ability to literally preserve memories.
624* RepulsiveRingmaster: Inverted, this ringmaster is as friendly and jovial as can be.

628!!King of Sorrow
629%%[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_of_sorrow_transp.png]]
630[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kos_9.png]]
631[[caption-width-right:200:[[TragicVillain Help me...]]]]
632
633-> '''Voiced by:''' Unknown Voice Actor
634
635-->"If sorrow is so unwelcome here..."
636-->"Who cares if the world is destroyed..."
637
638The main antagonist of ''Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil''. [[MeaningfulName As his name suggests]], he is the ruler of Hyuponia, the Kingdom of Sorrow, and the fifth kingdom of Lunatea that was hidden away from the world when the other Lunateans refused to accept sorrow.
639----
640* AntiVillain: All he wants is his kingdom to be accepted and for him to be remembered, so he won't be alone anymore. Problem is he is doing it in a destructive and selfish matter.
641* BetrayalByOffspring: Judging by the end credits and when Klonoa returns to the Claire Moa temple in La-Lakoosha to visit The High Priestess after Lunatea has been overcome by sorrow. It's strongly implied that the King of Sorrow might been the adoptive son of The High Priestess.
642* BigBad: Of ''Lunatea's Veil'', he is the one responsible for all the events of the game.
643* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Both Ghadius and the King of Sorrow represent a negative aspect that was rejected by the inhabitants of their world (Nightmares for Ghadius, Sorrow for the King of Sorrow) and seek the world's destruction because of it, but that's where the similarities end.
644** While it's made clear Ghadius is the BigBad of ''Door to Phantomile'' when he first appears at the end of the first Vision, [[HiddenVillain the King's role and identity are kept hidden until the very end]]. [[PreFinalBoss Ghadius is directly fought before the final boss]], while the King is the final boss.
645** Ghadius sought to destroy the world from the beginning and [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum he's even willing to die if it means taking all of Phantomile with him]], whereas the King initially only wanted to make Lunatea remember his Kingdom, before deciding to destroy the world outright after losing his remaining sanity during the final battle.
646** Ghadius is portrayed as an irredeemably evil villain to the very end, with nobody sympathizing with him, and he dies laughing at the success of awakening Nahatomb and heralding Phantomille's destruction, whereas the King is a TragicVillain and WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds that Klonoa feels sympathy for and actually helps the King with his goal before comforting and reassuring him Lunatea will remember Sorrow, allowing the King to pass away peacefully.
647** Ghadius' goal to destroy Phantomile is completely foiled, Klonoa kills Nahatomb before the monster can even do anything and Lephise [[WorldHealingWave heals the world with her song]]. The King of Sorrow's goal for his kingdom to be accepted by Lunatea on the other hand is fulfilled, with Klonoa and Lolo ringing the Bell of Sorrow so all of Lunatea will acknowledge Hyuponia. The ending has Leorina and Tat work on rebuilding the Kingdom of Sorrow.
648* CreepyChild: With the creepy eyes, [[CreepyMonotone monotone]], and emotionless-ness to boot.
649* DeathEqualsRedemption: After the battle with him, he [[DiedInYourArmsTonight fades out of existence in Klonoa's arms]], albeit knowing that the Lunateans won't forget sorrow anymore. It appears that the King was reborn and can now be happy, as he is shown smiling while the High Priestess holds him in the credits.
650* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Does he have a real name? We don't know. "The King of Sorrow" is all we have to go on. While disguised however, he was known as the prophet Baguji.
651* EvilCounterpart: He's a dark parallel to Klonoa, being of a similar species and even wearing a collar like Klonoa used to. In addition, both have (or had) important occupations that involve taking care of a lot of other people (the Dream Traveler and the ruler of the Kingdom of Sorrow), both are pretty young to be doing such things in the first place, and both have painful lives. One big difference would be that while Klonoa must always leave his home to continue with his duties, the King of Sorrow's job actually ''prevented'' him from leaving Hyuponia, and so all the citizens either abandoned him or died out. Another could be that while Klonoa chooses to put his own feelings and sorrows on hold for the sake of others, the King is completely driven by his own sadness and hatred.
652* FinalBoss: Of ''Lunatea's Veil'' and the only boss to have more than two phases.
653* KnightTemplar: He ''will'' bring sorrow back to Lunatea, even if doing so destroys the world in the process.
654* LastOfHisKind: He's the ruler and sole resident left in the entire Kingdom of Sorrow.
655* NoNameGiven: He's only referred to by his title, with no indication of what his name actually is.
656* PintsizedPowerhouse: In a series where final bosses tend to be monstrous {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, the King of Sorrow stands out as being a CartoonCreature who's only slightly taller than Klonoa himself. Even so, he's the ''final'' boss for a reason.
657* RedEyesTakeWarning: He may look cute from a distance, but then the camera zooms up close to his face when Klonoa first encounters him. His pupils are disturbingly tiny which makes him look much less cute and much more unhinged.
658* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He was secretly manipulating Klonoa (and everyone else) so that they would make the Kingdom of Sorrow reappear and allow it to become part of Lunatea again. He also has no problem with personally destroying the world when this backfires.
659%%* ScarfOfAsskicking
660* SlasherSmile: It's small and easy to miss, but ''boy'' is it unnerving when he gets it.
661* TitleDrop: Before the final battle:
662-->'''King of Sorrow''': When people encounter sorrow, they try to forget it and pretend it never existed at all. So I used the ark to lift Lunatea's Veil. All so that you could save the Kingdom of Sorrow. So that Lunatea can once again remember...
663* TragicVillain: All the King really tried to do was make the rest of Lunatea remember sorrow (which they had previously shunned) and by extension his kingdom and he himself, so that Lunatea would be in balance again, Hyuponia would be saved from ruin, and he would no longer have to take in all the world's sorrow alone. The problem comes in with the King of Sorrow giving in to both desperation and hatred, damaging the world with his methods and eventually deciding to just destroy Lunatea and all within when his initial plans fail.
664* WalkingSpoiler: It's very, very hard to talk about his true role in ''Lunatea's Veil'' without giving away a large portion of the plot. Heck, his ''name alone'' invokes ''massive'' spoilers for his role in the game.
665* VillainousBreakdown: He loses his cool after the first phase of his fight, getting angrier at both Klonoa and Lunatea as a whole. Then after Leorina gives him a ShutUpHannibal speech, the King of Sorrow then descends into screaming madness.
666* WellIntentionedExtremist: In ''Lunatea's Veil,'' the King ultimately wants the people of Lunatea to acknowledge and accept both his kingdom and the emotion it represents. However, having lost most of his faith in the world, he sees no other option to get his message across than the most destructive method he's capable of. Aside from inviting more monsters into the world, some of the most prominent effects of his plan are the draining of the entire Sea of Tears and the curse placed upon Leorina in the Embryo Compass. Klonoa manages to knock some sense back into him in the climax, and he assures him that he and others who understand sorrow shall make sure his kingdom is reinstated back into Lunatean society--peacefully.

689!!Emperor Jillius
690[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emperor_jillius_art_transp_9.png]]
691
692A disgruntled emperor who is plagued with insomnia. Because he cannot sleep, he has forbidden dreaming from his empire. Klonoa and Huepow run afoul of him when they enter his empire by dreaming. His first and only appearance is in ''Klonoa: Empire of Dreams''.
693----
694* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Klonoa is led to think that Jillius is the one turning his subjects into monsters. In reality, Jillius is being mind-controlled by a floating eyeball thing sent by Bagoo]].
695* CartoonCreature: What is he? A koala? A fox?
696* ClassyCravat: Tops off his fancy robe with a frilly cravat adorned with a purple jewel.
697* CoolCrown: A deep purple crown bearing his empire's insignia.
698* CountingSheep: In the slapstick manga, he tries this to fall asleep easier. It doesn't work, [[ExaggeratedTrope even when he reaches 165,478,325,693,261,541 sheep]].
699* DeathEqualsRedemption: After his boss battle and [[spoiler:Bagoo's boss battle]], the now-weakened Jillius confesses to Klonoa that he has learned the error of his ways and, had he the time, that he would allow his subjects to dream once again, before [[DiedInYourArmsTonight dying in Klonoa's arms]]. [[spoiler:Thankfully, this turns out to be AllJustADream that Jillius was having, and he's quick to uphold his word once he wakes up.]]
700* GoodIsNotNice: Zig-zagged. When Klonoa first meets him, he is rather rude, and punishes Klonoa for dreaming, but is willing to spare his life. Later, [[spoiler:Klonoa is falsely led to believe that Jillius is the villain. Then Bagoo reveals himself as the true BigBad. After Klonoa defeats Bagoo and saves the empire, Jillius realizes what he's done, lifts the ban on dreaming, and ultimately becomes a much kinder ruler.]]
701* GrumpyOldMan: Has an elderly appearance and acts disgruntled due to his insomnia. Averted later on when he has a HeelRealization and becomes much nicer.
702* HeelRealization: When [[spoiler:Klonoa saves him and his entire empire]], he realizes how cruel he's been and becomes a much better emperor.
703* HolyPipeOrgan: Emperor Jillius is introduced with a regal-sounding organ piece called "[[https://youtu.be/ESOLcHXW0rc The Crime]]" (because he is judging Klonoa for the "crime" of dreaming in his empire.) Jillius is a monarch rather than a religious leader, but the music still conveys a tone of seriousness and sacredness that fits this trope.
704* TheInsomniac: The reason why he's so cranky. [[spoiler:It turns out that Bagoo was the one who caused his insomnia.]]
705* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Jillius is obviously a FunnyAnimal caricature of UsefulNotes/JuliusCaesar. Like Caesar, Jillius is the emperor of a large empire. Both were also betrayed by someone they trusted (Brutus for Caesar, and [[spoiler:Bagoo]] for Jillius.) Also, "Jillius" sounds very close to "Julius."
706* ObliviouslyEvil: Jillius genuinely believes he's doing the right thing by banning dreams from his empire. Little does he realize that [[spoiler:Bagoo]] is playing him like a fiddle.
707* PreFinalBoss: Of ''Empire of Dreams''.
708* PurpleIsPowerful: Not only are his robe and crown purple, but his fur is also lavender.
709* YoungerThanTheyLook: Though he appears middle-aged in his artwork, the official ''Empire of Dreams'' strategy guide in Japan states that he's only somewhere in his twenties.

714[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bagoo_transp.png]]
715
716Emperor Jillius' advisor, the mastermind behind the plot of ''Klonoa: Empire of Dreams'' and the game's final boss. He also makes cameos in ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball'' and ''Klonoa 2: Dream Champ Tournament''.
717----
718* BigBad: Of ''Empire Of Dreams'', he is the one behind all the problems in the game and the final boss.
719* TheCameo: He makes an appearance in one of the ending cutscenes of ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball''.
720* CartoonCreature: While Jillius and most of the other Cartoon Creatures in Jillius' empire are at least somewhat easy to identify, it's hard to tell what animal, if any, he is supposed to be. An anteater or aardvark? Some kind of reptile? Given he causes insomnia, he is most likely meant to be an aardvark as a reference to the {{Baku}}.
721* ChekhovsGun: The floating eyeball that Bagoo carries in the opening cutscene, along with his official artwork, later turns into a monstrous form and possesses Emperor Jillius for Jillius' boss fight.
722* ChekhovsGunman: He appears in the intro and is never seen or mentioned again until the end, when he is revealed to be the villain.
723* DevilInPlainSight: He has a sinister appearance and acts rude and blunt. However, Jillius still trusts him until it's revealed near the end that Bagoo is the real villain.
724* EvilAllAlong: He was the one who placed the curse on the empire.
725* EvilChancellor: Though described as a "minister," he is Jillius' second-in-command who serves the role of an advisor. He is manipulating Jillius as part of a plan to take over the empire by turning its inhabitants into mindless monsters.
726* FinalBoss: Of ''Empire of Dreams''.
727* GreenAndMean: He is the true villain, and he wears a green robe and hat.
728* HangingJudge: Invoked. Although he is officially a minister rather than a judge (and only second in command to Emperor Jillius, who is the real judge in Klonoa's trial), Bagoo ''insists'' on condemning and punishing Klonoa for the crime of [[DisproportionateRetribution dreaming]]. Fortunately, Jillius doesn't take Bagoo's advice and gives Klonoa a chance to prove himself.
729* HatOfAuthority: Bagoo wears a regal headdress with a veil, fitting for his position as minister.
730* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He seems a little eager to punish Klonoa. When Jillius decides not to, Bagoo is clearly surprised. Lo and behold, he's the true villain of the game, planning to take over the empire by turning everyone into monsters.
731* KingIncognito: Bagoo is actually an EldritchAbomination known as the King of Despair, but takes the guise of a lowly chancellor to an emperor.
732* OneWingedAngel: In the final battle, he turns into a giant winged monster.
733* PunnyName: His name is a pun on {{Baku}}, a youkai that feeds on dreams. Appropriate, given that [[spoiler:he's the one who gave Jillius insomnia in the first place, thus preventing him from dreaming.]]
734* SinisterMinister: He is described as a minister, and wears priestly garb. [[spoiler:He's also an EvilChancellor planning to take over the empire]].
735* SinisterSchnoz: He has a long, pointed nose or snout, and he's the main antagonist of ''Empire of Dreams.''
736* WalkingSpoiler: Like the King of Sorrow, it's hard to talk about his true role in ''Empire of Dreams'' without giving away a large portion of the plot.

743[[caption-width-right:250:Guess what he's named for.]]
744
745-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakahiroSakurai, Unknown Voice Actor (English, ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball'')
746
747A gun-slinging bounty hunter who's either Klonoa's [[TheRival rival]] or {{bash brother|s}}, depending on the game.
748----
749* BashBrothers: Is this with Klonoa in ''Namco x Capcom''.
750* BootsOfToughness: Wears long, black boots with red straps as part of his bounty hunter attire.
751* CoolBike: Often travels on a HoverBike nicknamed "Red Clan", which features turrets mounted to the front.
752* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:His dad was actually killed by Janga, which prompts Guntz to hunt down the latter for revenge.]]
753* {{Fanboy}}: Believe it or not, he shows it in ''Klonoa Heroes'' [[GunNut where he flips out about a gun. He goes into great detail about it and even gets mad at Klonoa for recklessly touching it.]]
754* GogglesDoNothing: Not even when he's driving.
755* GunsAkimbo: His primary attack strategy in ''Klonoa Heroes''.
756* GutFeeling: Whenever he has an uneasy feeling about something (i.e. when he unknowingly gets close to [[YouKilledMyFather Janga]] after God knows how long), he claims he can feel his collar-like mane rustle.
757* HairTriggerTemper: A little more implicit than most examples, but he ''liberally'' takes aim with his weapons if he's annoyed by someone or something.
758* InconsistentSpelling: The North American version of ''Dream Champ Tournament'' spells his name as Gantz.
759* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: Bears a deep hatred toward Janga, who [[YouKilledMyFather killed his father]] under Garlen's orders.
760* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In ''Klonoa Heroes'' at least. When introduced he steals a flower from Klonoa, but took good care of it before giving it back to him because he knew it was rare. He does some {{Jerkass}} things during the game, but they're all fueled by his desire to avenge his father or feeling that he is in a situation where he has to do what he has to in order to protect himself and others. When he drops the mask, he is shown to deeply care for his friends, especially Klonoa. It is also supported by Janga before Guntz attempts to kill him that Butz (Guntz's father) raised him right and to be a hero and would not approve of killing, even his enemies.
761* LonerTurnedFriend: More so in the ''Klonoa Heroes'' interpretation where he warms up to Klonoa a lot quicker and shows general concern for his safety in ''Namco x Capcom''.
762* NobleWolf: He may be a bit rude and aloof, but this wolf is definitely a good guy.
763* PleaseWakeUp: Says this to a poisoned Klonoa in ''Klonoa Heroes'', when medical treatment doesn't cause him to regain consciousness.
764* PocketProtector: He was shot by Janga in ''Klonoa Heroes'', but the hero medal on his chest stopped the bullet.
765* PreFinalBoss: Of ''Dream Champ Tournament''
766* PunnyName: '''''Gun'''''tz. Guess what his weapons are.
767** Also applies to his father, Butz: named after the butt (or recoil pad) of a rifle or shotgun.
768* RedBaron: "The Golden Killer" (or Golden Grim Reaper, depending on translation).
769* RevengeBeforeReason: In ''Heroes'', once he sees Janga in the Moon's Ruins, he becomes so hell-bent on killing him that he ignores several cages containing prisoners trapped in nightmares, and even leaves Klonoa behind to fend for himself once Janga escapes. And when he ''does'' corner Janga by himself in Volk City, the cat nearly kills him. Once he eventually meets back up with Klonoa and Pango, the latter two have to convince him to at the very least let them help, since they share a common enemy by this point.
770* TheRival: Guntz definitely plays the part of the overconfident, dismissive, edgier counterpart to Klonoa in his debut. However, this aspect of his character slowly erodes away in later titles and crossovers, where he grows to see Klonoa as a brother.
771* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: A calm case in ''Klonoa Heroes'' where he is hunting down Janga at all costs. It shows up again when he decides to let Janga live because his father would disapprove of Guntz killing him but when Janga turns around and sneak attacks him but got Klonoa instead all of Guntz's mercy officially ran out and he shoots to kill.
772* SayMyName: [[YouKilledMyFather "JANGAAAAAAAA!!!!"]][[labelnote:*]]No, no, no, not ''[[Manga/{{Gantz}} that]]'' one![[/labelnote]]
773* SuperDrowningSkills: In the slapstick manga only.
774* TragicKeepsake: His hero medal originally belonged to his late father, who was killed by Janga prior to the events of ''Klonoa Heroes''. Janga taunts him over it by revealing the medal's rank has degraded from gold to bronze under his care.
775* TrueCompanions: Becomes this in ''Klonoa Heroes'' with Klonoa and Pango.
776* WeaksauceWeakness: He's a well-known and feared bounty hunter... who ''cannot'' stomach being on boats in the slightest. Swimming is just fine, as are rockets, but boats are out.

781[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/garlen_dct_art_transp.png]]
782
783Another recurring villain in the series, Garlen is a comical MadScientist who enacts wild schemes in the spinoffs.
784----
785* AdaptationalHeroism: The slapstick manga downplays his villainous traits, even replacing his [[RedRightHand metal claw]] with a real hand. In fact, in said manga, he'll usually ''help our heroes'' with whatever plans they have, including improving Klonoa's skills during a beach volleyball tournament, coming up with ways to beat up a monster that's terrorizing the city, and helping a [[DrivenToSuicide suicidally-depressed]] Klonoa regain his confidence.
786* AmbiguouslyHuman: He looks almost human and is based on a human character from another franchise... but he has doglike ears and a round nose.
787* ButtMonkey: More so than any other villain. For example, in ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball'', Huepow complains that it's unfair that Garlen gets to ride in a {{Mecha}} during the match, so he gives the other competitors machines too. [[spoiler:Cue GilliganCut to show that Garlen was easily beaten]]. Additionally, Huepow will complain that Super Garlen only won because he was in SuperMode, so he gives the other competitors their own Super Modes... with the same result.
788* CartoonCreature: He looks human-like for the most part, but he has ears like a dog.
789* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Garlen is noticeably different from every previous Klonoa villain: Ghadius, the King of Sorrow, and Bagoo are all serious and dark villains with incredible magical powers who are all world-endagering threats. Garlen is a lighter and comical antagonist who utilizes technology to get what he wants and is consistently a much more minor threat.
790* {{Expy}}: As a rotund, comical MadScientist, Garlen was based on [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman]]. He doesn't have the 'stache, though.
791* EvilIsNotAToy: His plan in ''Klonoa Heroes'' was to awaken Nahatomb - a former hero turned dream-feeding EldritchAbomination - and steal his Star Medal, allowing him to be recognized as Earth's one true hero. Unfortunately, once Nahatomb wakes up, he absorbs Garlen to use his dreams for power.
792* EyepatchOfPower: Subverted. Although he does wear an eyepatch, he's kind of an incompetent weakling.
793* FinalBoss: Of ''Dream Champ Tournament''.
794* GreenAndMean: Wears a green coat and is throughly unpleasent.
795* LaughablyEvil: Even InUniverse, few take him seriously.
796* MadScientist: He can build all sorts of robots and giant mechs to use for his nefarious plans.
797* PreFinalBoss: Of ''Klonoa Heroes'', then Nahatomb steals his thunder.
798* RedRightHand: As well as the aforementioned eyepatch, he also has a metal claw for a hand.

813* BerserkButton: Here you have a guy who could give [[NiceGuy Klonoa]] a run for his money in the kindness department, but bad mouth his sick son and, well... let's just say you'd have to be a real beast to be able to out-swear and scare Guntz.
814** In the more comedic manga though, he flies into a rage if he's ever mistaken for, or compared to, a turtle. Even if he does it himself.
815* TheBigGuy: The biggest, slowest, and strongest member of the trio.
816* CoolOldGuy: Not that old but is the oldest of the group and a father but that does not stop him from being Cool or Fun.
817* GentleGiant: That is if he isn't pushed to far.
818* MadBomber: A nice and gentle version. That is unless you badmouth his sick son.
819* PapaWolf: His main goal in ''Klonoa Heroes'' is to find a cure for his comatose son.
820* PowerTrio: Part of one alongside Klonoa and Guntz.
821* RoughOveralls: Wears a pair of green overalls, highlighting his role as a pyrotechnician.

827
828Pango's son, who has been affected by a mysterious sleeping sickness.
829----
830* DelicateAndSickly: He spends most of ''Klonoa Heroes'' in a coma due to what the game describes as a "sleeping sickness".
831* RoughOveralls: Wears a pair of blue overalls, matching his father's outfit.

837
838-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobuyukiHiyama (''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'')
839
840A foul-mouthed, feline-like purple creature who wears a coat, scarf, and fedora. He was once a hunter along with Guntz's father, Butz, but killed him at the request of Garlen. He seeks to harvest nightmares for his own purposes.
841----
842* AbhorrentAdmirer: In ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'', he seems to have an attraction to Felicia from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}''; she finds him despicable.
843* AscendedExtra: Went from a passing mention in the ''Beach Volleyball'' spin-off, to one of the main villains of ''Klonoa Heroes''.
844* BadassLongcoat: Most of his body is concealed by this.
845* BattleTrophy: After he killed Butz, he took the latter's hunting rifle as a souvenir, unbeknownst to the victim's son, Guntz.
846* CatsAreMean: He's probably one of ''the'' nastiest characters in this franchise.
847%%* CoatHatMask: Some of his art stills will have him give off this effect, with his scarf acting as his "mask".
848* CreepyBlueEyes: On his right eye only.
849* CutscenePowerToTheMax: While he's quick enough during cutscenes to give the effect that he's teleporting, during his actual boss battle, he only uses it to make it appear that there are multiple versions of himself... all of which can be damaged normally.
850** Also, unlike his boss battle, if he poisons someone during a cutscene, don't expect your Claire crystal to protect them, [[PlotlineDeath nor should you expect your vegetable juice or local inn to be able to heal them]].
851* DirtyCoward: Klonoa calls him one when he [[HumanShield uses the former as a shield]] to get Guntz to lower his weapons. He's delighted by the remark.
852-->'''Janga:''' That's the most charming thing about me.
853* DiscOneFinalBoss: Of ''Klonoa Heroes''.
854* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:He's offed in ''Klonoa Heroes'' after falling into a magma crater on the moon.]]
855* TheDragon: To Garlen in ''Klonoa Heroes''.
856* ISurrenderSuckers:
857** Attempts to pull this after his boss fight in ''Klonoa Heroes'', with the intention of poisoning Guntz with his claws. Klonoa sees him approaching, however, and [[TakingTheBullet pushes Guntz out of the way to take the blow.]]
858** He does this in ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'' when he's cornered at [[VideoGame/RivalSchools the Justice Academy]], succeeding in poisoning [[Franchise/StreetFighter Sakura]]. Fortunately, Akuma shows up and, one well-deserved Shun Goku Satsu later, Janga retreats.
859* NearVillainVictory: Narrative-wise, he came closer to actually killing Klonoa than any other villain in this series.
860* MoreDespicableMinion: While Garlen is mostly comical and does not appear until the very end of ''Heroes'', Janga is played completely seriously, being the one who killed Guntz's father and later uses Klonoa as a shield.
861* PoisonIsEvil: He's cruel and vile, and has claws tipped with venom.
862* PoisonousPerson: His claws are very venomous, and [[DeadlyScratch can inject someone with so much as a scratch]].
863* PurpleIsPowerful: He's one of the most dangerous villains in the series, and he wears a purple coat and has lavender fur.
864* RedBaron: "Poison Claws" Janga
865* ScarfOfAsskicking: Wears a very impressive, long scarf.
866* SirSwearsALot: Let's just say that in Japanese, he could probably use a swear-jar.
867* StatusInflictionAttack: He calls himself "Poison Claws" Janga for this reason. Just ask Klonoa.
868%%* StupidEvil:
869* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: On his left eye only.
870* YouKilledMyFather: He worked with Butz, and eventually they found the Darkness of Nahatomb, when Butz refused to awaken the monster, Garlen had him killed by Janga.

874!!!Please note that since the comic was CutShort, some information about these characters was left ambiguous or inconclusive.

877!!Tenebrae Hue
878[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tenebrae_hue.png]]
879
880-->"The power of the glorious night-sun will fuel my grand ambitions..."
881
882The main antagonist of the short-lived webcomic. He is an evil lion who seeks to use the powerful Noctis Sol for his own ends.
883----
884* ArmoredVillainsUnarmoredHeroes: Wears an impressive suit of armor. His {{Mooks}}, the Nighty-Knights, count as well.
885* BeardOfEvil: Has an impressive goatee, which is part of his armor.
886* BilingualBonus: The "Tenebrae" in his name is Latin for "darkness". Additionally, the title of the webcomic's second-to-last strip, "Tenebrae of Noctis", translates from Latin to "darkness of night".
887* BigBad: Of ''Dream Traveller of Noctis Sol''.
888* BigYes: When his Nightmare Missile launches.
889* CompositeCharacter: He has elements of some of the series' previous villains. His imposing presence, dark clothing, and half-hidden face come from Ghadius, him being a feline comes from Janga, and his aspirations for power and use of machines come from Garlen. Him being an EvilOverlord could possibly be a reference to [[spoiler:Emperor Jillius, who also has a somewhat feline look, though the player is only led to believe Jillius is evil, and he actually isn't.]]
890* DarkIsEvil: He's an evil overlord whose name is [[BilingualBonus Latin for "darkness"]], and wears dark colors.
891* EvilIsHammy: Despite his dialogue being written out instead of recorded, you can tell that he's hamming it up with nearly every sentence.
892%%* EvilOverlord
893* EyesOutOfSight: His mane always covers his eyes.
894* FlunkyBoss: Has the ability to spawn tiny blade-wielding minions.
895* GenericDoomsdayVillain: He has very little characterization aside from being an evil overlord, and doesn't get nearly the amount of depth that most other villains in the franchise do. This is because the comic was CutShort before we had a chance to find out what his motivations were.
896* KingOfBeasts: While it's unknown if he has a specific title or territory, he's definitely a lion and an EvilOverlord.
897* ObviouslyEvil: His appearance is sinister from head to toe.
898* OminousOperaCape: A Dracula-style, red-and-black cape.
899* PantheraAwesome: This lion proves to be a huge threat throughout the webcomic's short run.
900* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His robe and cape are completely black and red.
901* TinTyrant: He's an evil overlord whose entire body is obscured by armor, except for his luxurious mane.
902* VillainTeamUp: In the last strip of the webcomic produced, he teams up with Nightmare Klonoa, as well as Klonoa's BrainwashedAndCrazy friends.
903* WeHaveReserves: Has no qualms about sacrificing his {{Mooks}} by letting his rocket launch, knowing they will be caught in the blast.

907!!Hue's scientist
908[[quoteright:231:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tenebraehuescientist.jpg]]
909
910Tenebrae Hue's assistant, a small creature in a lab coat.
911----
912* AffablyEvil: The scientist is very cheerful in their demeanor, and seems to have no malicious intentions of their own.
913* AmbiguousGender: The scientist's gender is not made clear. Their design doesn't clear things up.
914* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: They're a scientist, and they look like a Bunsen burner. They have a flame on top of their head.
915* TheDragon: They are Tenebrae Hue's second-in-command.
916* NervousWreck: The scientist panics a lot when Klonoa starts interfering with Hue's plan.
917* NoNameGiven: The scientist is never named.
918* PunchClockVillain: They are working for Tenebrae Hue, but hardly seem evil by their own will. The worst they do is angrily order the Nighty-Knights to keep working, but it seems like they were mostly doing that to please Hue.

922!!Nighty-Knights
923[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nighty_knights.png]]
924
925Tenebrae Hue's {{Mooks}}, a species of armored creatures.
926----
927* ArmorIsUseless: They can be inflated normally by Klonoa's wind bullets, in spite of their armor. Compare this to the [[HeavilyArmoredMook Armored Moos]] we see in the games, where Klonoa needs to knock their armor off with another enemy before he can inflate them.
928* HeavilyArmoredMook: Played with. They're a race of Mooks, and they're ''all'' armored.
929* PunnyName: On "nighty-night." They're knights who invade dream worlds.
930* RedEyesTakeWarning: They're evil mooks, and they all have red eyes.

934!!Nightmare Klonoa (Bad Dream Klonoa)
935[[quoteright:339:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nightmare_klonoa_5.jpg]]
936
937Klonoa's EvilDoppelganger, who only appears in the webcomic. He first appears bullying Lolo, and later teams up with Tenebrae Hue.
938----
939* AllThereInTheScript: [[https://twitter.com/JimZub/status/421012079844139008 When asked on Twitter]] what this character's name was[[note]][[NoNameGiven no name was given for him in the webcomic's dialogue]][[/note]], [[WordOfGod writer Jim Zub said]] that in the scripts for the webcomic, he's simply called Nightmare Klonoa (though the script that Zub has on his [[https://www.patreon.com/posts/klonoa-webcomic-16673309 Patreon page]] calls him Bad Dream Klonoa).
940* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Sports a dark gray variant (to stand out from his fur) in the monochrome dream world he resides in. However, he lacks these in the real world.
941* TheBully: In his first appearance, he is taunting Lolo and telling her that Klonoa is gone forever.
942* DeliberatelyMonochrome: His use of grays and blacks contrasts Klonoa's brightly-colored clothes, and emulates how the world he comes from has no color. The only exceptions are his YellowEyesOfSneakiness.
943* EvilCounterpart / EvilDoppelganger: To Klonoa.
944* EvilIsAngular: His wind ring is octagonal in shape with jagged edges, compared to the smoother, round shape of the real Klonoa's ring. His hat also has a pointed brim, as opposed to the rounded brim on the real deal's hat.
945* FangsAreEvil: His fangs are more prominent than Klonoa's.
946* FurAndLoathing: Has fur-trimmed clothes.
947* InflatingBodyGag: Falls victim to this when Klonoa inflates him with his Wind Ring.
948* {{Jerkass}}: Not only does he spend most of his appearance in the webcomic tormenting Lolo just for kicks, he has a more smug, juvenile-delinquent-esque attitude than other villains in the series.
949* NoNameGiven: He doesn't introduce himself by name in the webcomic, though [[AllThereInTheScript the scripts call him Bad Dream Klonoa]], and the writer called him Nightmare Klonoa on Twitter.
950* ObviouslyEvil: Justified, as he was created to be an evil version of Klonoa and is pretty much an amalgamation of various villainous tropes with Klonoa's appearance. This even extends to the logo on his hat, which is one of the ghosts from ''Pac-Man'' rather than Pac-Man himself.
951* PsychoticSmirk: As he believes he's in control, taunting Lolo with the idea that Klonoa's abandoned her.
952* SlasherSmile: Sports one as he takes on his counterpart, and again as he's summoned into the real world.
953* SmugSnake: He's visibly pleased with himself for making Lolo cry. That smirk stays on his face until the real Klonoa shows up and fights back.
954* SpikesOfVillainy: His shoes are cleats with cartoonishly large spikes on them, his collar is spiked, and even the fluff on his ears and cheeks is spikier than Klonoa's. He also has noticeable claws underneath his gloves.
955* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: [[DeliberatelyMonochrome The only part of his body with color]].
