Main Show Hosts

    Arnie Niekamp 
Played by: Arnie Niekamp

Arnie is a human from from Earth. He fell through a magical portal behind the drive through at a Burger King in Chicago, and found himself in the magical land of Foon.


  • Do Not Call Me "Paul": Dislikes being called Arnold.
  • Given Name Reveal: Later, we get to know that Arnie's given name is Arnold, which happened to be very similar to Arnor, famous mythical hero in Foon with legendary achievements, and also you get to shorten your name only if you have achieved deeds twice the famous person, who has same name as you, has.
  • Innocently Insensitive: Arnie often unintentionally insults his guests (and sometimes his co-hosts), often by simply not knowing what is or isn't appropriate to say. His co-hosts are usually quick to call him out on it.
    Arnie, introducing an imp while sitting next to a shapeshifter and a wizard: I'm excited! I feel like it's been a while since we've had a truly magical guest.
    Usidore: How dare you? HOW DARE YOU? HOW DARE YOU??
    Arnie: I wish that was an intentional insult, but it really-
    Chunt: You know I'm a shapeshifter, right?
    Arnie: That's true, that's true! Chunt, you are truly magical as well.
    Chunt: You're a dick.
  • Mistaken for Gay: In Foon, the first rumor about anyone is that they're gay, and Arnie's gay rumor is spread by Chunt.
  • Once per Episode: Arnie almost always gives a brief rundown of how he would up in Foon at the beginning of every episode.
  • Token Human: Arnie acts as this in most episodes, though humans are sometimes interviewed.
  • Unfortunate Names: Chunt and Usidore like to point out how "Arnie Niekamp" is awkward to say.

    Chunt 
Played by: Adal Rifai

Chunt is a changeling who changes shape (usually) 2 weeks after engaging in sexual acts with the species/person/magical item whose shape he would like to take. Later in the series, he gains the ability to shapeshift at will.


  • Affectionate Nickname: His cohosts sometimes call him "Chu-Chu".
  • Bizarre Alien Reproduction: Shapeshifters (or at least male shapeshifters) only produce one sperm in their entire life, and must preserve this sperm and insert it into a mate if they want to produce a child.
  • The Charmer: He talks smoothly and flirts with lots of creatures. He is very popular and it seems everyone is willing to sacrifice for Chunt's sake. For example, Larry Birdman wants Chunt to join Mittens. Also, his partner has never made it out alive in Make-out Point because they always choose for Chunt to survive.
  • Extreme Omnisexual: Chunt flirts and sleeps with creatures of all gender and species. His sexual and romantic partners include multiple badgers, a tiny horse, a crocodile, and a cockroach.
  • Hybrid Monster: Shapeshifters like Chunt are born from the union of a manticore and a hunger ghost.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Chunt loves giving his friends a hard time, and can be incredibly callous and mean, especially towards Arnie. But he's a good dude deep down; he truly cares about his friends and wants them to be happy.
  • Munchkin: Within the games of the tabletop roleplaying game Offices and Bosses, Chunt plays as a murderhobo who solves all problems by stabbing his coworkers with a sword.
  • Only One Name: Chunt.
  • Sex Magic: He has the power to shapeshift into any creature by having sex with that creature.
  • Shapeshifting: Chunt takes the form of whatever being he last had sex with.
    • Voluntary Shapeshifting: In season 3 he discovers that having sex with Twosidor allowed him to shapeshift at will, but every form retains his badger markings.
  • Talking Animal: Foon has many different kinds of talking animals. Chunt is a shapeshifter in the form of talking badger.
  • Tsundere: Chunt usually vacillates between insulting Arnie, and wanting to marry or sleep with him.

    Usidore the Blue 
Played by: Matt Young

Usidore is a wizard and regular guest on Arnie's podcast.


  • Born as an Adult: All wizards are born this way.
  • Born of Magic: Usidore the Blue came into the world fully formed as an adult. He was born of wind, fire, earth, and birds (and lightning and some frogs).
  • Casting a Shadow: Usidore uses his shadow manipulation to create objects.
  • Inept Mage: Downplayed. Arnie frequently suspects that Usidore can't actually do magic, and he's always going around giving people "magic" rocks that don't do anything. Usidore can actually do magic, but it's pretty underwhelming: he once failed to conjure up a full-sized cow, producing only a dog-sized one, and his magical abilities pale in comparison to Spintax's.
  • Large Ham: Usidore is frequently shouting things at the top of his lungs, especially his name during the episode intro.
  • Light 'em Up: Can light candles with a spell.
  • Magic Staff: Usidore's is made of birch, topped with a hexatite crystal.
  • Running Gag: His extremely long name and his ongoing quest to recruit adventurers to defeat the Dark Lord are the most prominent ones. Others include his hatred of starlings, his use of "magical" rocks, and for a time, his desire to put soup in his butt.
  • Shock and Awe: Uses his "Miniscule Lightning" spell to help Arnie power his electronic equipment while in Foon.
  • Try to Fit That on a Business Card: Usidore, Wizard of the 12th Realm of Ephysiyies, Master of Light and Shadow, Manipulator of Magical Delights, Devourer of Chaos, Champion of the Great Halls of Terr'akkas. The elves know him as Fi’ang Yalok, the dwarves know him as Zoenen Hoogstandjes, and he is known in the Northeast as Gaismunēnas Meistar, are there may be other names you do not know yet.
  • Wizard Classic: How Arnie describes Usidore.
  • Wizards Live Longer: Usidore is hundreds, if not thousands of years old.


Hogsface

    Mundle the Grundle 
  • The Ghost: Despite being present at every recording, Mundle is mute and is there simply to provide the show's theme.
  • The Speechless: Is entirely mute, only producing sound when playing the intro/outro music and occasionally playing his vibraslap as a response to someone addressing him.
  • Too Many Mouths: Apparently has multiple mouths, which he uses to play multiple instruments at once.
  • Vertebrate with Extra Limbs: As established in Season 2, Episode 6, Mundle plays all the instruments in the intro/outro theme with his many arms.

    Otok Barleyfoot 

    Activia Barleyfoot 

    Flower 
A surprisingly rude talking flower.
  • Make a Wish: After being thrown off a cliff by Arnie, she survived, but couldn’t move due to her lack of legs. Taking the advice from a book she read, she screamed aloud about how much she wants to have legs until she successfully grew them.
  • Foul Flower: Downplayed. She’s not evil, but she does have more of an attitude than you’d expect from a tiny flower, and is prone to cursing and insults.
  • Plant Person: She’s a sentient, talking flower.

    Larry Birdman 

    Krom the Barbarian 

    Pimbly Nimblebottom

  • The Infiltration: After the Dark Lord conquered Hogsface, she reassumed her “Gregor” persona and became a guard in order to covertly help the heroes.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Somehow managed to pass as a man for years, despite her strategy for acting like a man mostly consisting of saying “I am a man” and “I have a penis”.
  • Sweet Polly Oliver: Disguised herself as a man for years in order to get the respect of her male coworkers. Later reassumed this disguise to conceal her identity while working as a guard for the Dark Lord.

    Jamillious the Mauve 
A wizard with power over feast and famine, whose abilities allow him to create great sensory delights or remove the senses of others. The first (racially) black wizard, he was created to fight the stigma against the color black caused by the Dark Lord being a black (color-wise) wizard.
