Protagonists

     Teddy 
Voiced by: Yong Yea
Alicia's old stuffed bear. He was locked into her toy box as she got older and forgotten and is still bitter about it. Nevertheless, he's willing to run to her rescue, if only so Lighty will leave him alone.
  • And I Must Scream: He was locked into Alicia's toy box for years, during which she didn't even visit him once. When Lighty comes to get him he is understandably angry and bitter about this treatment and at first refuses to come to the rescue of the girl who put him through this.
  • Anti-Hero: He's the toy-equivalent of a Grumpy Old Man and his best days are long behind him, but for Alicia's sake he has to take up his swords once again.
  • Badass Adorable: A small cuddly teddy bear who can duke it out with nightmare demons more than twice his size.
  • Badass Cape: Wears a hooded, green one in his Adventurer-outfit.
  • Berserk Button: Badmouthing or hurting Alicia. He's furious when he sees just how much whoever is responsible for Alicia's dwindling mental health has damaged her mind and when the Nightmare Cat seems to suggest Alicia must have some darkness within her to dream up something twisted like the dream demons, Teddy shouts at her not to compare Alicia to the likes of them.
  • Blood Knight: He slowly regains his love for fighting dream monsters over the course of the game, even showing excitement at the thought of beating up Alicia's tormentors.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: His Berserker form may look frightening, but it's actually a manifestation of his true power and a representation of him channeling his anger toward protecting Alicia. This directly contrasts Lighty whose true form invokes Light Is Not Good.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Most of his lines are snarky or sarcastic remarks about the surreal and often ridiculous nature of the world around him.
    Teddy: (upon seeing the Scissors for the first time) "Quake in fear, wolves! A rusty pair of scissors!"
  • Dressed to Plunder: His Pirate-outfit gives him a Badass Longcoat befitting of a captain, as well as an earring to make him seem more rugged.
  • Dual Wielding: He uses both of the scissor blades when sword-fighting.
  • Flight: After absorbing a ton of fairy dust, Teddy is able to fly through the air whenever said dust is around.
  • Foil: To Lighty; They're both old toys of Alicia's that were left behind as she grew up. While Teddy has become bitter and cynic over it, Lighty remains cheerful and duty-driven. While Teddy learns to love and forgive Alicia again over the course of the game, Lighty is revealed to be even angrier over being abandoned than he is and refuses to let go of her anger in favor of taking revenge.
  • Heroes Prefer Swords: He wields two separate scissor blades as swords.
  • Hidden Heart of Gold: Deep beneath that harsh exterior he really is a heroic person and a loyal friend. For all that he might gripe about Alicia abandoning him it doesn't take much prodding from Lighty's side for him to come to her rescue again and when he sees just how much Alicia has been hurt he vows to destroy whoever is responsible for her suffering.
  • Improbable Weapon User: His weapons are made from everyday household items that Lighty has empowered with her magic, from scissors, to needles and thread.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's an old rude grump, but it's clear no matter how much he tries to deny it, he still cares for Alicia and is willing to walk through hell to save her.
  • Knight in Shining Armor: The Knight-outfit turns him into one.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: The climax reveals that he was actually one of Alicia’s dream guardians, and her most powerful one to boot. This is why Lighty erased his memories of this when he lost a bit of his soul protection after he was first put in the toy box, so that she could use him as a weapon against the other guardians in her plans.
  • Not So Above It All: He may snark and act aloof, but occasionally even he gets swept up in the child-like whimsy of Alicia's dreamland, like in The Selfishness when he showed excitement at the thought of taking over and sailing a pirate ship.
  • Refusal of the Call: When Lighty first tries to recruit him for Alicia's rescue he flat-out refuses, still sour about Alicia locking him away and forgetting about him. It's only when Lighty starts poking at his ego that he agrees to help.
  • Reluctant Hero: At the start of their journey he tells Lighty he isn't keen on being anybody's hero, least of all Alicia's. Nevertheless Alicia clearly sees him as one, as in her dreams he is portrayed as a brave, strong and agile adventurer.
  • Sour Outside, Sad Inside: It's clear that he was incredibly hurt by Alicia putting him away and forgetting about him after he acted as her protector and friend for years. This manifests in a stand-offish, rude attitude and a reluctance to be her hero again at first.
  • The Straight and Arrow Path: Aside from his scissor swords, Teddy can also use a bow made out of needle and threat to shoot flying enemies or destroy fragile structures to make a way for himself.
  • Tragic Abandoned Toy: A Type 2. As Alicia got older, she eventually stopped playing with him and locked him away in the toy box. Though the ending implies she got over her insecurity and might take him back.
  • Unwitting Pawn: Turns out the "dream demons" Lighty had him slaughter were actually Alicia's dream guardians. And they were protecting her from Lighty who was trying to corrupt Alicia as revenge for having been abandoned by her.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Lighty gives him this after he tricks Sten into drinking too much from Peter Pan's fountain of youth reminding him that they're still in Alicia's subconscious and asking him what he thinks this will teach her. Teddy argues that the lesson here is simple: Don't be greedy and Be Careful What You Wish For.

     Lighty 
Voiced by: Dallyn Brunck
A night light who has noticed Alicia's distress and aids Teddy on his quest to save their owner from the dream demons.
  • Badass Boast: Gives one that doubles as a Blasphemous Boast before her battle starts.
    Lighty: Do your worst...I am now a goddess in this world.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Initially she portrays herself as a stalwart protector of Alicia, willing to do whatever it takes to save her and her mind and admonishing Teddy for not being willing to do the same despite his abandonment. But by the end, she’s unmasked as a bitter, vengeful, and power-hungry traitor who orchestrated the entire plot to hurt and torment the girl she was supposed to be protecting and her dream guardians out of bitterness for being abandoned by her.
  • Corrupted Character Copy: She's a far more antagonistic and belittling version of Navi. Furthermore, while Navi may have gained infamy among players as an Annoying Video Game Helper, she was still a benevolent fairy genuinely trying to save the world alongside Link, where as Lighty is the true villain of the story. Using Teddy to attack Alicia's mental defences and parasitically grow in strength, all so she can spitefully destroy Alicia's mind, becoming the irredeemable, Final Boss of the game.
  • The Dog Was the Mastermind: The helpful but haughty little blue fairy sidekick who acted as your guide all along was actually an evil, vindictive megalomaniac and the one you should’ve been beating up all this time? Apparently someone in the writers room REALLY didn’t like Navi.
  • Exposition Fairy: She knows a lot more about dream demons and magic than Teddy does, so she often has to explain the mechanics of Alicia's dream worlds to him, as well as how the stories they travel through usually go. The climax reveals she's more of an Unreliable Expositor, manipulating Teddy to achieve her own goals.
  • Expy: A blue little fairy with a haughty attitude who acts as the protagonist's guide? Who let Navi in here?
  • Fear of Thunder: She's terrified of lightning, since lightning is fatal to an electrical device like her.
  • Foil: To Teddy. They're both protectors of Alicia's dreams that have been left behind as Alicia grew up. But other than Teddy, Lighty doesn't seem to be holding a grudge and is still eager to cleanse her mistresses' dreams of the dream demons. Later on subverted and inverted. While Teddy slowly learns to let go of his anger toward Alicia and goes back to genuinely wishing to protect her, Lighty does not and seeks to destroy Alicia's mind as payback.
  • Foreshadowing: During the story, many of the bosses mention having a strong hatred of fairies like Lighty. The climax reveals they have a very good reason to feel that way…
  • Hypocrite: Despite mocking and insulting Teddy for being bitter over being abandoned by Alicia in the toybox, she handled her own abandonment even worse than him by almost destroying the girl’s mental psyche.
  • Jerkass to One: She is kind and caring toward Alicia, but rude and abrasive whenever she talks to Teddy, as she thinks of him as a grumpy old man and an egotist. Subverted when it’s revealed that she doesn’t care about Alicia nearly as much as she claimed anymore and was in fact responsible for putting the girl through so much turmoil in the first place.
  • Lack of Empathy: She's not all that sympathetic to Teddy's anger over his year-long imprisonment in the toy box, even rubbing salt in the wound whenever she can and blaming it on him for being old and a grump. Which is nothing to say of how badly she’s hurt Alicia, the girl she was supposed to be protecting, out of bitterness for being abandoned.
  • Light Is Good: She's a nightlight and truly does care for Alicia, enough to ask her predecessor and old rival Teddy for help to save her. Subverted HARD at the climax where she’s revealed to be the Big Bad and a definite case of Light Is Not Good.
  • Manipulative Bitch: She erased Teddy's memories of much of his time as a dream guardian, in order to manipulate him into believing the other guardians were savage monsters Alicia needed protection from. All of this so she could use Teddy to absorb her enemies' powers, become a nigh-unbeatable demon herself and continue to torment Alicia's mind as revenge for being abandoned by her.
  • Redemption Rejection: Near the end of her boss battle, Teddy gives her a chance to relent and fix what she's done. Lighty refuses, unwilling to let go of her revenge or her newfound power.
  • Shock and Awe: She uses lightning and electricity magic in her boss battle.
  • Spark Fairy: Downplayed, as she's actually a nightlight. But in Alicia's dreamworld, she's a fairy who's so small you only perceive her as a moving blue light. After absorbing all the dream energy from Teddy’s fights, she gains a larger more humanoid form with a vicious and sinister smile.
  • Super-Empowering: Her magic empowers Teddy's weapons and is what makes them so effective against the dream monsters.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Alicia, which is why she's so offended by Teddy's unwillingness to help her at first. She takes her job as her mistresses protector very seriously and thinks Teddy should feel the same, regardless if he's retired or not. Turns out she’s not so jazzed about her own abandonment either, and only pushed for Teddy to “help” Alicia so she could use him for her plans.

     Alicia 
Lighty's and Teddy's owner. Her subconscious has been infested by dream demons.
  • Cheerful Child: She used to be one if the photo Lighty looks at in the opening is any indication. This started to fade away once she grew up and her mental state worsened.
  • Mr. Imagination: The dreamland is formed by Alicia's imagination.
  • Peer Pressure Makes You Evil: Downplayed. The reason she put Teddy and presumably all of her other toys away was that her friends teased her for still owning a stuffed toy at her age. This doesn't make her evil per se, but it was immensely hurtful to Teddy.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: Alicia became ashamed of Teddy when her friends spotted him in her room one day and teased her for still having him. This directly lead to her locking Teddy in the toy box, abandoning one of her strongest dream guardians in the process.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The plot is basically caused by her abandoning both Teddy and Lighty as she got older, but given that she had no way of knowing the two were sentient, this was honestly just a facet of her growing up and it was certainly not worth Lighty hatching a vengeance plot against her.

Dream Demons/ Dream Guardians

     Little Red Riding Hood 
Voiced by: Allison Drew
An unnerving girl who roams The Hate and has made it her life's goal to kill every single Clockwork Wolf.
  • Dark Action Girl: Despite being a little girl, she's a strong enough fighter to hunt down Clockwork Wolves and kill the gigantic King of the Wolves all on her own, with only a pair of daggers. She also puts up a pretty good fight against Teddy.
  • Devious Daggers: She fights with two knives seemingly made out of bones and is a very cunning girl.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Even the very thin veneer of politeness she puts up can't detract from her obvious psychopathy and blood-lust. This combined with her creepy tendency to get all up in others' faces and the fact that she uses Teddy as bait for the wolves several times plant her firmly in the "not nice" category.
  • Frame-Up: After murdering the King of the Wolves, she calls for help and pretends Teddy did it, so she can lure the remaining wolves into a trap.
  • In Love with Your Carnage: She compliments Teddy several times on his slaughter of the Clockwork Wolves.
  • Little Red Fighting Hood: A villainous version. Thanks to being twisted by the dream demons, she's no longer an innocent little girl but a malicious, blood-thirsty huntress of wolves. If there aren't any wolves to hunt, she's more than willing to cut down whoever else comes her way.
  • No Sense of Personal Space: During their first meeting she pins Teddy down to the ground, sniffs him, flicks him on the head and ignores several of his pleas to be let go.
  • Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Her brutal slaughter of the Clockwork Wolves by itself isn't necessarily a bad thing, seeing as the wolves indiscriminately attack anyone who wanders into the forest. It's more the lengths she's willing to go to and that she obviously does it more for her own gratification than the greater good, along with the dozens of innocents she's willing to let die in the cross-fire that's the problem.
  • Selfmade Orphan: Implied. There's no mention made of her parents and arriving at her grandmother's house shows someone (probably Red) stabbed the poor old woman to death.
  • Slashed Throat: Her battle ends with Teddy cutting her throat, which leads to her choking on her own blood.
  • Villainous Crush: She's implied to develop one on Teddy as he cuts his way through The Hate. Her tone whenever she compliments him on his kills is borderline flirty, she tends to give him pet names and she refers to their eventual battle as their "final dance". Her true self seems to fancy Teddy as well, but expresses her feelings in a much less creepy manner.

     The Giantess 
Voiced by: Polina Karpova
The titanic owner of the castle at the end of the beanstalk.
  • Disney Villain Death: Just like her husband before her, she dies falling from her castle while chasing an intruder to her home.
  • The Faceless: Her face is never seen in the level she features in and the preceding storybook illustration only show the vague shape of her head with no details visible.
  • Giant Equals Invincible: Because she's so huge, Teddy can't fight her and is forced to flee once the King declares open season on the castle's intruders. Unfortunately her size doesn't save her from gravity.
  • Husky Russkie: She speaks with a heavy Russian accent and is so huge you only ever see part of her on-screen instead of her whole body.
  • Nothing Is Scarier: The only parts of her you see are her hands and feet.
  • Our Giants Are Different: She's a ginormous woman living in a castle in the sky, who doesn't seem to be all that smart and sees no issues with trapping and cooking sentient beings for her husband to eat.
  • Together in Death: Both her and the King die while chasing Teddy, as she didn't realize there was no more solid ground to run on outside of the castle and fell through the clouds with the King still on her shoulder.

     Jack 
Voiced by: Israel Moreno
The husband of the giantess, who believes everything within the castle belongs to him.
  • Disney Villain Death: He sits on his wife's shoulder during the hunt for Teddy and thus shares her fate when they both fall though the clouds.
  • Karmic Death: It's all but stated that the dead giant at the foot of the beanstalk is his handiwork and that he stole both the castle and probably the giant's wife after killing him. Both him and said wife die falling through the clouds - the exact same way the poor giant did.
  • The Napoleon: He's about Teddy's size physically, but his ego's almost as big as his wife.
  • Royal Brat: He thinks himself a mighty ruler and acts like a petulant child, demanding Teddy bow down to him and complaining and throwing tantrums when his "dinner" won't do as he asks.
  • Together in Death: Dies together with the Giantess when they fall from the castle in their eagerness to catch Teddy.

     White Hook 
Voiced by: Laura Mainella
A pirate captain obsessed with cute and small things.
  • Composite Character: She fills in the role of Captain Hook, being a pirate captain sailing the waters around Peter Pan's island, but her clothing, her crew being dwarfs and her attacking Teddy with poisoned apples make it pretty clear who she really is, or used to be.
  • Cuteness Proximity: She starts gushing over Teddy the second she sees him and plans on making him part of her crew (whether he wants to or not).
  • Flunky Boss: She'll regularly send her pirates to attack Teddy for her.
  • "Get Back Here!" Boss: After siccing her pirates on Teddy, she jumps up into the rafters of her ship and throws poisoned apples down from there, forcing Teddy to fly up and shoot her down.
  • Pirate Girl: She's the captain of the pirates roaming the islands.
  • Talk Like a Pirate: Befitting her new profession, she uses a lot of sea-dog slang and talks in a stereotypical pirate-accent.

     Peter Pan 
Voiced by: Seal Linn
A boy who never grew up thanks to his fountain of youth.
  • Composite Character: He's Peter Pan but with all the vanity and cruelty of the Wicked Queen.
  • Casting a Shadow: He can separate from his shadow and use it as his personal attack-dog.
  • Hypocrite: Accuses grown-up's of using their children as a way to live forever, but distill's a fountain of youth from the blood of the Lost Boys, so he can live forever.
  • Musical Assassin: Once he joins the battle for real he uses his pan flute to attack and summon vines from the ground.
  • Would Hurt a Child: That fountain of youth he owns? It's filled with the blood of his Lost Boys. And he's proud of that.
  • Wounded Gazelle Gambit: A very unconvincing one. Once Teddy defeats his Shadow, Peter pretends that the Shadow had him imprisoned and offers Teddy a sip from the fountain, seemingly out of gratitude. Teddy doesn't buy it for one second.

     Gepetto 
Voiced by: Israel Moreno
An old inventor who has made the giant dogfish his personal laboratory.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He's completely crazy and an immoral creep, but he does genuinely loves his "children".
  • Even Evil Has Standards: He might be a creepy, evil scientist willing to dissect a living, sentient being, but he won't stand for his children telling lies.
  • For Science!: He makes Teddy and Lighty go through several tests to see if they can provide anything that he could use to enhance his "children". He even says the trope name during one of his instructions.
  • Freudian Excuse: The Fairies refused to give him a son, so he built himself an entire army of 'children' and threw himself into science, as he felt anything other than science couldn't be trusted anymore.
  • Insistent Terminology: Those aren't robots he has there, these are real children.
  • Mad Scientist: He created dozens upon dozens of killer robots in a dogfish and insists on calling them his children. He also openly talks about dissecting Teddy and using his innards to build himself more robots and makes him run various life-threatening tests.
  • Moral Myopia: He keeps chastising Teddy for being so violent, but then constantly talks about how much he'd love to take Teddy apart and use his parts to make more "children" for himself.
  • Papa Wolf: Downplayed. He acts appalled whenever Teddy destroys another batch of his "children" but then keeps sending more and more of them into battle, even as they die like flies.

     Pinocchio 
Voiced by: Andy Whelbig
Gepetto's eldest son and his greatest invention.
  • Adaptational Badass: Instead of a small wooden boy, this Pinocchio is a huge war-machine.
  • The Baby of the Bunch: Inverted. He was the first Real Child Gepetto made and is therefore the oldest of Gepetto's "children".
  • Blatant Lies: Tells Teddy that he won't do anything to hurt him, while simultaneously trying to crush him to paste. Gepetto actually scolds him for telling such an obvious lie.
  • Calling Your Attacks: Yells out the names of his different moves before carrying them out. This makes dodging him pretty easy if you pay attention. At one point Gepetto tells him to stop doing it for that exact reason.
  • Pinocchio Nose: As per usual, his nose starts growing whenever he lies. This proves to be his undoing, since it unbalances him and causes him to fall over, leaving his father vulnerable to Teddy's attacks. It also grows when he tells Teddy and Lighty that there's no way out of the dogfish, making it clear that he's lying out of spite.

     The Little Mermaid 
Voiced by: Brittany Ann Phillips
The ruler of the underwater kingdom, who has an obsession with humanity.
  • Become a Real Boy: She longs to be human and live in the surface world, to the point she dried out huge parts of her kingdom to make it resemble the surface more and performed experiments on her subjects to make them look more human.
  • God Save Us from the Queen!: She forces her people to live mainly on dry areas, even though it hurts both their health and their combat capability and there are rumors she performed experiments on some of them to make them more human.
  • Don't Look At Me: As Teddy starts to damage her human disguise more and more she grows furious and yells at him to stop dismantling her "beautiful body". When he destroys it for good she vows to kill him for having seen her true face.
  • Insistent Terminology: Calls her mermen "centaurs" and her sea horses "dragons".

     Sleeping Beauty 
Voiced by: Allison Drew
A mysterious princess calling to Teddy during his travels through the swamp.
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies: She's actually a giant praying mantis who wants to eat Teddy.
  • Damsel in Distress: She claims to be held captive in the swamp and that only a brave knight can save her. Subverted. In reality she's a giant mantis-like monster who uses the facade of a pretty princess to lure well-meaning knights to their doom.
  • Slaying Mantis: She's a giant praying mantis beneath her disguise.
  • The Vamp: She uses her beauty and seeming helplessness to lure unsuspecting Teddy into thorns if he doesn't resist her.

     Merlin 
Voiced by: Jarrett Raymond
An arrogant Wizard inhabiting an ancient castle beyond The Dishonesty.
  • All-Encompassing Mantle: He wears a long robe that engulfs most of his body.
  • Deadpan Snarker: He introduces himself by sarcastically congratulating Teddy for defeating "a girl that was half-asleep."
  • Evil Sorcerer: He's an arrogant magician using his magic to enslave spirits. Subverted with his true self, who is more of a White Mage and a lot kinder.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Teddy frequently uses Merlin's own magic to destroy his phantoms. Merlin actually reacts to this by siccing a phantom on Teddy in an area where Teddy has no access to his magic. In his boss battle, Teddy defeats his dragon-form by absorbing the magic from his flames and using it to get past his tough scales.
  • Necromancer: He employs phantoms as his main enforcers and also threatens Teddy to make him a servant once he's killed him.
  • Scaled Up: After the first phase of his boss battle is over, he transforms himself into a massive, almost invulnerable dragon.
  • Sickly Green Glow: His magic is represented by green ominous light and he himself takes the form of a green will o' the wisp when speaking to Teddy.

     Witch Cat 
Voiced by: Brittany Ann Phillips
A dream demon taking the form of a cat who taunts Teddy whenever he falls unconscious.
  • Cats Are Mean: She appears to Teddy whenever he loses consciousness and is openly hostile toward him without even telling him why. Subverted. The climax reveals she only acted that way to snap Teddy out of Lighty's control and then so she could use his magic to heal the other dream guardians.
  • Good All Along: Turns out she and the other bosses were not only dream Guardians who ended up corrupted by Alicia’s subconscious trying to protect her from Lighty, but she was actually Teddy’s closest friend during his time as a dream Guardian and Alicia’s protector. The only reason she antagonized Teddy was to try and goad his anger enough to make him snap and remember something about who he really was and, when that failed, to keep him busy while she absorbed some of his dream energy to heal those who had been hurt by Lighty’s plot.
  • No-Sell: Teddy's attacks go right through her.
  • Power Parasite: Every time she pulls Teddy into her realm, she absorbs as much of his power as she can. A rare benevolent example, as she uses the magic she gathers to heal the other dream guardians.
  • Significant Double Casting: Shares her voice actress with the narrator, foreshadowing that she's actually the Big Good.
  • Teach Him Anger: She antagonizes Teddy in order to rile him up and awaken his true powers.

Minor Enemies

     Clockwork Wolves 
A pack of twisted wolves roaming The Hate.
  • Clockwork Creature: They have gears running in their bodies and a Wind-Up Key sticking out of their backs.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: By the looks of it the King of the Wolves died from Little Red Riding Hood ramming a large boulder down his throat, causing him to suffocate.
  • The Goomba: They're the very first dream monsters Teddy goes up against and pretty easy to kill, with a predictable movement pattern and not much health.
  • King Mook: The King of the Wolves, a giant Clockwork Wolf residing deep within The Hate. You never get to actually fight him though, as by the time Teddy finds him he's already been slain by Little Red Riding Hood.
  • Large and in Charge: The King of the Wolves is about ten times as large as his subjects. Didn't do him much good against Little Red Riding Hood though.
  • Savage Wolf: A whole pack of them who will not hesitate to maul you as soon as they spot you.

     Flies 
Flying pests who like taking pot-shots at unassuming bears.
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies: They're giant flies and act as the flying enemies for the Guillible and The Greed.
  • Bug Buzz: They make a loud, droning buzzing sound wherever they are.

     Zombie Gingerbreadmen 
Undead pastry-abominations.
  • The Determinator: Even with most of their bodies missing, they'll still try to rip Teddy to shreds.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: Once they're damaged a certain amount, they'll break in two at the hip with their upper bodies still crawling toward Teddy.
  • Our Zombies Are Different: They're a bunch of zombie gingerbreadmen. How they can be undead when they weren't alive to begin with is anyone's guess.

     Sten 
Voiced by: Glenn
A conniving genie who forces people to fulfill his wishes.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: His last wish is eternal youth, which he seeks to achieve by obtaining and drinking from Peter Pan's fountain of youth. Teddy tricks him into drinking the whole fountain, which causes him to age regress into nothingness. Teddy even says the trope verbatim after his death.
  • Character Tics: He moves his hands around in an erratic manner and claps whenever he speaks.
  • Death by De-aging: His fate after Teddy tricks him into drinking all of the Fountain of Youth.
  • Dirty Coward: He wants what the other inhabitants of the Selfishness have but is too much of a wimp to fight them for it himself, so he sends Teddy in his stead. He'll show up after every boss fight is done to congratulate himself on getting their treasure.
  • It's All About Me: He only really cares about himself and what others can do for him. Showcased by him making anyone who finds his lamp basically his slave under threat of imprisoning them. When Teddy defeats Peter Pan he tries to claim the victory for himself and only reluctantly admits it was a team effort when Teddy objects.
  • Jerkass Genie: Even more so than usual examples. He won't even grant you wishes. Instead, should you find yourself unlucky enough to find and rub his lamp, he'll imprison you in it and will only let you go once you grant three wishes to him.

     Tooth Fairies 
Black flying fairies whose dust can grant the power of flight.
  • Dark Is Evil: They're pitch-black in appearance and attack and steal from people for their teeth.
  • The Fair Folk: As their species name suggests, they really like teeth and have no qualms about taking them from living beings.
  • Hated by All: No matter who you talk to, no one has anything nice to say about them.
  • Tooth Fairy: A very dark version. They're a whole clan of fairies obsessed with teeth and they don't always wait until the object of their obsession fall out to claim them.
  • Winged Humanoid: They're human-shaped with little wings on their backs.

     "Real Children" 
Gepetto's twisted inventions.
  • Ax-Crazy: They'll attack unprovoked no matter what and will not stop until Teddy is dead.
  • Killer Robot: What they actually are, no matter how much Gepetto might insist otherwise.
